Free Web NovelChapter 183: Chapter 140: Blade Intent, Formed
’This is even faster than I expected... The comprehension bonus from Scholar Lv. 11, combined with the control of my Primordial Spirit, is surprisingly this powerful.’
He couldn’t help but swing his blade casually once more.
Without channeling any physical energy, he acted on pure thought.
THWIP!
A faint, muffled sound echoed in the air. Three meters away, a shallow yet incredibly smooth cut silently appeared on the shoulder of an alloy humanoid target.
This was a cut made purely by Blade Intent, unleashed from a distance.
’This is true mastery of the blade through spirit... the very intent within the blade...’ Li Wen’s heart pounded as he experienced the miraculous effect.
’To possess such power from a distance just after stepping into the Intent realm... If I can hone this to its peak, creating ten thousand blades with a single thought and forming my own domain of Blade Intent... just what would that be like?’
His ecstasy gave way to deeper contemplation and intense anticipation.
’Achieving Blade Intent is a monumental step! It hasn’t just dramatically increased the power of my Flowing Rainbow Five Forms; it means I’ve truly set foot on the grand path leading to the Fourth Realm—the Soul Realm—and even the Fifth Realm—the Dao Realm.’
Thinking of the tomes in the Fireseed University library, which recorded the Blade Dao of peerless masters, a warmth spread through his chest. freewebnøvel.com
’More importantly, the *Nine Heavens Divine Body*.’
Li Wen’s thoughts quickly connected. ’The *Nine Heavens Divine Body* is known to have the highest cultivation threshold among all Super Grade divine arts. This is because, in addition to demanding immense focus and control, it has another strict requirement: to fully master the Nine Heavens Divine Body, one’s artistic mastery must reach the Intent realm!’
’The Nine Heavens Divine Body has nine layers. The more layers you master before breaking through to the Flying Star Level, the stronger you become. You don’t need to comprehend Intent for the first six layers, but to cultivate the 7th Layer, your artistic mastery must reach the Intent realm.’
As he thought of this Super Grade art he had long coveted, one with heaven-defying power, an even fiercer flame ignited in Li Wen’s eyes.
’One week! In one week, I’ll take another Holy Body Golden Pattern Fruit and push my physical body to the peak of a High-level Martial Artist.’
Li Wen gripped his blade tightly, feeling the omnipresent Blade Intent that moved as an extension of his own body.
The lights of the Martial Arts Room shone down on him, casting an upright and powerful silhouette.
Outside the window, the sun was bursting over the majestic peaks of the Fireseed Ancestral Range. Golden light spilled across the land, illuminating the young man standing with his blade and the brilliant path to the supreme peak of the Martial Dao reflected in his eyes.
...
After envisioning his future after ascending to the Flying Star Level, Li Wen reined in his thoughts.
He clearly realized that using his current five forms from the *Flowing Rainbow Shocking Magpie Chapter* to temper his newly comprehended Blade Intent was already extremely inefficient.
These five blade techniques stopped at the edge of the Intent realm. To glimpse the higher Blade Soul Realm, he needed new guidance, a deeper legacy.
Without further hesitation, Li Wen flipped his wrist, and the Standard Rapier in his hand, glinting with a cold light, slid precisely into a slot on the weapon rack by the wall.
His steps were steady as he walked straight toward the virtual pod resting in the corner of the room.
His goal was clear: in the Fire World, obtain the core of the *Five Luminaries Celestial Rainbow Skill*—the middle volume that pointed directly to the Blade Soul Realm, the *Dawn Rainbow Chapter*.
The pod door closed, and his consciousness sank.
When he opened his eyes again, the familiar, vast Fire World, constructed from countless data streams, was already beneath his feet.
Li Wen didn’t delay. With practiced ease, he initiated a teleport, and his figure instantly appeared in the [Technique Inheritance Zone], which emanated an ancient aura and the sharp edge of a blade.
His gaze was like a torch. He precisely located the blade technique category and pulled up the complete exchange list for the *Five Luminaries Celestial Rainbow Skill*:
First Volume: *Flowing Rainbow Shocking Magpie Chapter* - Exchange Cost: 5,000,000 Core Cultivation Points (Exchanged)
Middle Volume: *Dawn Rainbow Chapter* - Exchange Cost: 50,000,000 Core Cultivation Points (Requirement: Intent Realm)
Final Volume: *Profound Dome Rainbow Silence Chapter* - Exchange Cost: 500,000,000 Core Cultivation Points (Requirement: Soul Realm)
Looking at the *Dawn Rainbow Chapter*, which symbolized a higher realm of the Blade Dao, and its "Intent Realm" requirement, Li Wen’s eyes showed not the slightest ripple.
The reward for being the top new student in the global assessment was more than enough to support this choice.
Hundreds of millions of Fire Points and Core Cultivation Points sat in his account. Fifty million core points? It really wasn’t worth a second thought.
"Exchange for the *Dawn Rainbow Chapter*." The command was given clearly and decisively.
As if in response to his determination, a portion of the huge number in his account was instantly deducted.
Light flowed around him, and the familiar feeling of weightlessness returned. He was once again transported to the independent inheritance space exclusive to this peerless blade art.
It was still that same void, vast enough to contain the cosmos. And it was still that same figure of a middle-aged man, dressed in simple, ancient robes, holding a dark gold wooden blade. His face was blurry, but his presence was as immense as the sea. Like an eternal guardian, he stood silently in the center.
Without a word, the middle-aged man sensed the already-formed aura of Blade Intent on Li Wen—he had met the qualifications to learn.
The wooden blade in his hand vibrated lightly, and the space buzzed in response. A Blade Intent far deeper, more domineering, and closer to the origin of "light" than that of the *Flowing Rainbow Shocking Magpie Chapter* spread out.
The *Dawn Rainbow Chapter* also contained Five Forms!
Adhering to the consistent style of the *Five Luminaries Celestial Rainbow Skill*, each form had its own focus, pursuing a path to a certain ultimate quality.
The middle-aged man began his demonstration. His movements were slow yet contained a terrifying power that could tear the void. The light from his blade was no longer a simple rainbow but was now like the first divine, heaven-splitting ray of light bursting forth from the end of the night—enough to incinerate heaven and earth and tear open the dawn!
[First of the Dawn Five Forms: Instant Rainbow Form] The blade’s light flares like the first rays of dawn, instantly piercing the boundaries of space and time. This form seeks to sublimate absolute speed. The rainbow light pierces the target before the blade’s edge even arrives, and the slash’s trajectory can briefly distort light, creating the visual phenomenon of "blade light lag."
During the demonstration, the man’s wooden blade only trembled for an instant, yet five intersecting rainbow marks simultaneously burst open in the void ten paces away, as if he had struck multiple times at once.
[Second of the Dawn Five Forms: Mountain-Toppling Form] The blade’s momentum is like a collapsing mountain, the rainbow light condensing into immense pressure.
Unlike the explosive power of the Overlapping Waves Form, this form focuses on using Blade Intent to channel the power of heaven and earth, making a single slash feel like the entire sky is falling.
The man slowly pressed his wooden blade down, and the ground beneath him caved in, creating a spiderweb of cracks. The edges of the cracks glowed with a molten, rainbow-colored light.
[Third of the Dawn Five Forms: Celestial Gap Form] Where the blade’s edge passes, the rainbow light tears space to form a temporary "gap" that can devour enemy attacks.
This form is an advancement of the Defensive Form. Not only is its defense unparalleled, but it can also convert the devoured energy into power for the next slash.
The man dragged his wooden blade horizontally. A distorted, rainbow-colored rift appeared from thin air, swallowing all the incoming virtual arrows before spitting them out from a rift on the other side.
[Fourth of the Dawn Five Forms: Thousand Radiance Form] The blade’s light splits into a thousand phantoms, each one capable of inflicting physical damage.
The area-of-effect annihilation of the Heaven-Dropping Form is transformed into precision strikes with this form. The rainbow lights are like a meteor shower, capable of locking onto multiple targets within its range.
The man lightly spun his wooden blade, and hundreds of rainbow lights rained down like arrows. Yet, just before hitting the ground, they abruptly froze, forming a magnificent Star Map.
[Fifth of the Dawn Five Forms: Silent Rainbow Form] The Blade Intent extinguishes all things; wherever the rainbow light passes, life is annihilated.
This form already touches the threshold of the Soul Realm. Its slashes not only target the physical body but also directly tear at the opponent’s spiritual will.
As the man finally finished, he tapped the tip of the wooden blade lightly. All the rainbow light in the space suddenly froze, then shattered and dissipated like glass. Even Li Wen felt a sharp pain in his Primordial Spirit.
When the Five Forms had been demonstrated, the entire space was filled with the heart-pounding remnants of Blade Intent—tearing, destruction, eternity, illusion, annihilation—as if it had just experienced a cataclysm and rebirth on the scale of the universe’s creation.
The moment the middle-aged man finished, Li Wen’s gaze was already locked firmly on the "Instant Rainbow Form."
That pursuit of ultimate speed was already carved into the marrow of his bones. It was the unwavering aspiration he had held since he first became a Martial Artist.
No matter how his Blade Dao evolved or his realm advanced, his belief in pursuing extreme speed had never wavered.
’I’ll start with you.’ As the thought crossed Li Wen’s mind, the miniature Primordial Spirit in his sea of consciousness shone brightly. A powerful Spiritual Power surged, and the comprehension bonus from Scholar Lv. 11 was fully activated.
The 110% comprehension boost from Lv. 11 [Absolute Focus] instantly enveloped his entire body, focusing all his senses and thoughts on the profound mysteries of the "Instant Rainbow Form."
The tempering of his Blade Dao through the Dawn Rainbow Chapter had officially begun.
...
「A week passed in the blink of an eye.」 fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
The crimson morning sun leaped over the majestic peaks of the Fireseed Ancestral Range, casting its warm light over the row of villas.
Inside Villa Number One, Li Wen awoke from his immersion on schedule.
His deep eyes opened, a sharp light flashing within them for an instant before vanishing.
The first thing he did after opening his eyes was to stir his thoughts, calling forth the panel floating in the depths of his consciousness:
