The tranquil ambiance of the riverside remained undisturbed, save for the occasional leap of a fish as it broke the surface.
Creating ripples that danced across the water.
The gentle murmur of the flowing river provided a soothing backdrop to Sir Elias's words, amplifying the sense of serenity that enveloped the scene.
"Before we delve into testing your magical affinity, let me enlighten you about the Most renowned sword techniques in our realm,"
Sir Elias began, his voice carrying the weight of knowledge.
"Each kingdom has its own unique techniques, reflecting its culture and history."
"The first sword technique is the Celestial Blade, found in the Kingdom of Celestia," Sir Elias continued, his gaze drifting towards the heavens.
"It is a graceful and elegant technique, imbued with the light and purity of the celestial realm."
"It is often used by the celestial knights who guard the holy cathedral."
"The second technique is the Frostbite Technique, hailing from the icy Kingdom of Frostgard," Sir Elias explained, his breath forming a mist in the air.
"It is a fierce and relentless technique, honed in the harsh conditions of the frozen north."
"It is characterized by swift, precise strikes that mimic the biting cold of the frost."
"The third technique is the Emberstrike Form, originating from the fiery Kingdom of Emberfall," Sir Elias continued, his eyes gleaming with the intensity of flames.
"It is a bold and aggressive style, fueled by the fiery passion of its practitioners."
"It is known for its powerful, sweeping strikes that leave trails of fire in their wake."
"The fourth technique is the Shadow Dance, shrouded in mystery and darkness," Sir Elias explained, his voice dropping to a whisper.
"It is said to originate from the enigmatic Kingdom of Shadowrealm, where shadows hold sway over reality."
"Practitioners of this style are masters of stealth and deception, striking from the shadows with deadly precision."
"The fifth technique is the Torrential Wave, born from the coastal Kingdom of Stormreach," Sir Elias continued, his voice rising like the roar of the ocean.
"It is a fluid and dynamic style, inspired by the ebb and flow of the tides."
"It emphasizes fluid footwork and rapid, flowing strikes that mimic the crashing waves of the sea."
"The sixth technique is the Ironclad Technique, developed in the industrious Kingdom of Ironhold,"
Sir Elias explained, his words ringing with the clang of metal.
"It is a sturdy and resilient style, forged in the fires of industry and innovation."
"It focuses on powerful, heavy strikes and impenetrable defenses, reminiscent of the iron fortresses of Ironhold."
"The seventh technique is the Mystic Spiral, shrouded in arcane mystery," Sir Elias concluded, his gaze turning inward.
"It is said to originate from the ancient ruins of Mystoria, where magic flows like a river."
"Practitioners of this style harness the power of magic to enhance their swordplay, weaving spells into their strikes with unearthly precision."
"These are the seven renowned sword techniques of our realm," Sir Elias declared, his voice filled with reverence.
"Each one is a testament to the rich tapestry of our world, woven together by the diverse cultures and traditions of our kingdoms."
Sir Elias paused, his expression thoughtful, before continuing to explain additional styles:
"The eighth technique is the Abyssal Tide, hailing from the mysterious Kingdom of Abyssal Depths," Sir Elias began, his voice taking on a somber tone.
"It is a fluid and unpredictable style, inspired by the depths of the ocean."
"Practitioners of this style wield their swords with the grace and ferocity of the sea, striking with the force of a crashing wave."
"The ninth technique is the Solar Flare, originating from the sun-soaked Kingdom of Avaloria," Sir Elias continued, his voice filled with warmth and energy.
"It is a radiant and powerful style, infused with the fiery energy of the sun."
"Practitioners of this style channel the blazing heat of the desert into their strikes, overwhelming their opponents with searing intensity."
"And finally, the tenth technique is the Arcane Whirlwind, found in the mystical Kingdom of Mystoria,"
Sir Elias concluded, his voice tinged with awe and wonder.
"It is a whirlwind of raw magical energy, unleashed with wild abandon."
"Practitioners of this style tap into the chaotic forces of magic, spinning and twirling their swords with unearthly speed and agility."
Sir Elias shifted the focus back to their homeland, saying,
"Now, let me tell you about a secret technique used in the Royal family of Verdantia called the Verdant Arrow."
"It is not a sword technique, but rather an arrow technique used by the skilled archers of our homeland."
"Practitioners of this style draw upon the power of nature itself, infusing their arrows with the essence of the forest to strike with deadly accuracy."
"Sir Elias," Oasis began, his voice brimming with curiosity,
"you mentioned there were seven sword techniques, but you described ten. What about the other three?"
Sir Elias paused, his expression thoughtful as he considered Oasis's question.
"Ah, yes," he replied, his tone grave.
"The additional three techniques I mentioned are considered lost to time. They haven't been passed down to the current generations like the others."
A flicker of determination crossed Oasis's face.
"Lost?" he echoed, his voice tinged with disbelief. "But surely, they must still exist somewhere. They can't simply vanish into thin air."
Sir Elias nodded in agreement, his eyes reflecting Oasis's determination.
"Indeed, Oasis, that's precisely what I believe," he affirmed, his voice filled with conviction.
"I refuse to accept that these ancient styles are truly lost forever. With dedication and perseverance, they can be rediscovered and revitalized."
"So, what about the technique in the scroll from my box?" Oasis inquired, his gaze fixed on Sir Elias with keen interest.
"It seemed different from any of the seven you mentioned."
Sir Elias's brow furrowed slightly as he considered Oasis's question.
"That technique is indeed a mystery," he admitted, his voice tinged with curiosity.
"I have neither heard nor seen anything like it in all my years of study and practice."
"It appears to be a unique and enigmatic form of swordplay, perhaps lost even to the most seasoned scholars and warriors,"
Sir Elias mused, his thoughts drifting to the possibilities contained within the ancient scroll.
He paused for a moment, his eyes glinting with a newfound excitement.
"But that's enough lessons for today," Sir Elias declared, his voice filled with enthusiasm. "It's already late, and your training begins tomorrow."

“And before I name you,” Oasis said, his tone turning crisp and pragmatic as he addressed the white tiger, “will I lose a significant portion of my spiritual energy in doing so? Because from everything you are telling me about the laws of naming, it seems that one way or another, either my mana or my spiritual energy will be heavily drained.”The tiger’s consciousness paused for a brief moment, visibly surprised by how thoroughly calm, calculated, and unbothered Oasis remained even after revealing his true identity as a Sacred Beast.“It will be your spiritual energy,” the beast explained smoothly. “The core reason why the act of bestowing a name holds such immense cosmic weight is that if ordinary mortals attempt to name a high-tier entity like us, their spiritual seas are completely sucked dry.""The fundamental laws of Heaven enforce a strict exchange: to claim the absolute right of naming a high-tier mystic beast, Heaven forcefully extracts and consumes the namer’s own spiritual e

“If everything goes well and I am not disturbed at all, it will take about three to four weeks,” the beast said at that moment to Oasis, its voice echoing smoothly within his consciousness."Mmh... That will do," Oasis thought to himself, carefully evaluating the timeline as he weighed the potential benefits of the situation. "If I aid this beast through its evolution, having a powerful ally in a dangerous place like this will prove immensely advantageous. After all, my enemies in this realm are not just hostile cultivators, but also S-Rank mystic beasts.""It is more than likely that the Divine-Grade herb I seek in the Inner Ring might be actively guarded by an Upper S-Rank mystic beast, if not something even stronger, like an SS-Rank entity."Oasis’s gaze deepened as he mentally prepared for the absolute worst-case scenario. "I must act under the assumption that the Divine-Grade herb will be guarded by an SS-Rank beast. After all, when I was seeking a cure for my True Yang constitut

Oasis’s head moved very fast at that moment, his movements a sudden, sharp blur as he scanned the surrounding cavern with hyper-vigilant precision.His striking azure eyes darted quickly around the shadows as he instantly activated the Eyes of the Heaven’s Horizon, engaging both its Heaven’s Horizon Vision and its Absolute Mana Dissection ability. His irises burst into a brilliant, celestial glow, allowing his perception to strip away the physical layer of reality and peer directly into the underlying web of ambient world energies, spatial threads, and hidden mana currents weaving through the subterranean stone.Yet, as he dissected the cavern and realized he was seeing absolutely nothing that could account for the voice, he didn't hesitate."Primordial Gaze..." Oasis whispered under his breath.Extending his immense spiritual energy, his divine vision expanded exponentially, scanning the entire surrounding region in absolute, microscopic clarity. To conserve his reserves while main

All three of them became alert at that moment.“I cannot sense any life force nor a single thread of a mana signature, but I am absolutely certain something is moving within those trees. The way those branches are swaying over there is not natural,” Mai said sharply.Leaping lightly off the boulder, she floated mid-air to inspect the distant canopy from a higher vantage point. Pushing her perception to its absolute limit, she extended her divine sense across the sector, scanning every leaf and shadow. Yet, no matter how hard she probed, her divine sense returned completely empty. There was nothing there.“It seems whoever it was noticed us first. I think whoever is moving out there is exceptionally skilled with concealment techniques,” she said, drifting back down toward her two companions. “Let us keep moving as well. Remaining in one spot for too long only makes us look like we are openly begging for attention.”Meanwhile, more than fifty kilometers away...Shoosh!Oasis materiali
Chapter 952: Shadow on the South Horizon.
As Oasis was dashing through the night, heading toward the secluded grotto where he would set up his ultimate base, elsewhere in the Middle Ring, near the outer perimeter of the Inner Ring...Three imposing figures stood tall upon the crest of a massive, weather-worn boulder. Their robes fluttered against the heavy night air as they stared intently toward the looming, dark horizon where the perilous Inner Ring began. The localized atmospheric pressure here was suffocating, the gravity dragging against their limbs like invisible chains, forcing them to circulate their internal mana constantly just to maintain their footing."It seems we are still not ready at all at this moment, Brother," a young woman among the three spoke up, her voice breaking the stillness of the night. She turned her sharp eyes toward her two companions, her expression laced with a mix of grim realism and cautious logic. "I think we should simply continue trying our luck within the Middle Ring. After all, we hav
Chapter 951: Phantom’s Return.
A month later...Deep within the vast, misty expanse of the Middle Ring of the Great Kong Mountain peaks, the atmosphere was suffocatingly heavy. The localized gravity in this treacherous domain was exponentially stronger than in the Outer Ring, crushing the surrounding vegetation against the earth and making every breath feel like inhaling liquid lead.SHOOOOOSH—!Under the cold, silvery glow of the midnight moon, a vivid cyan streak darted at terrifying speed through the dense canopy, weaving through the thick trunks of trees as it pursued a flickering violet streak across the forest floor.SHKKKKKKKK—!A sharp, decisive slicing sound cut through the quiet night, immediately followed by a heavy, thudding impact as the violet streak was violently brought to a halt."This makes about thirty Upper A-Rank mystic beasts..." He murmured softly to himself, his voice dropping into a quiet, calm register.With a practiced, effortless flick of his wrist, he forced the massive, defeated beast
