Combine the magical cards to obtain the saint-level talent - Sword Mastery!

“Boom!”

A terrifying Sword Aura swept across the entire area, shaking heaven and earth. Everyone stopped their Cultivation and looked at Lin Dong in shock.

“Ugh…”

Bai Han grunted, his Aura instantly wilting. He looked at Lin Dong in disbelief.

Lin Dong chuckled, “My apologies, I just comprehended it and couldn’t control it for a moment! Student Bai Han, you’re not dead, are you?”

Bai Han’s throat sweetened, whether from anger or Lin Dong’s strike, but he forced down the metallic taste.

In front of everyone, he didn’t want to lose face to Lin Dong.

Finally, Bai Han gave Lin Dong a cold glance and let it go! The excitement of just comprehending Sword Aura seemed to be extinguished by a basin of cold water!

“Holy cow!!”

“On this day, two people actually comprehended Sword Aura! And both are in the Core Formation Realm.”

“Are all the new Disciples this fierce now?”

When everyone saw this scene, they were incredibly shocked. The talents of the two were somewhat terrifying. Most importantly, the two were even enemies, destined for a fierce Dragon-Tiger struggle in the Outer Courtyard assessment.

But in everyone’s eyes, in their first clash, Bai Han was utterly defeated!

“How is that possible!” Liu Yanran’s incredulous voice came, ignoring Bai Han’s injuries, her face full of shock as she said, “How could a good-for-nothing like you comprehend Sword Aura! And so quickly!”

She looked as if struck by lightning, her face turning pale.

Is this… still the Lin Dong she knew?

She recalled that just a few days ago, when she visited, Lin Dong had no Cultivation. But now, he had not only reached the Core Formation Realm but also comprehended Sword Aura.

Originally, she didn’t believe Lin Dong could Cultivate, and she was skeptical about Lin Dong seriously injuring Bai Hao.

But seeing Lin Dong comprehend Sword Aura with her own eyes, and feeling the oppressive Aura, she finally understood that all of it was true! For some reason, deep down, a hint of regret actually subtly arose within her!!

“Liu Yanran, what did you just say?”

Lin Dong looked at Liu Yanran again and asked, “Sword Aura? Is it difficult? Isn’t it something anyone with hands can do? Is there really someone who hasn’t comprehended it and is still barking?”

“Exactly, exactly!”

“My Brother Dong is such a Genius. If he’s still a good-for-nothing, what are you, Liu Yanran?!”

Skinny Monkey was very good at seizing the moment, not letting up when he had the upper hand, unceremoniously scolding Liu Yanran in front of everyone. If you dare to insult my Brother Dong, don’t blame me for being impolite!

Everyone looked at Liu Yanran as if she were an idiot. Indeed, others had already comprehended Sword Aura, yet she kept calling him a good-for-nothing. Looking at herself, she hadn’t comprehended anything. Does she have no shame? She herself must be the good-for-nothing!

“Lin Dong, you…”

Liu Yanran’s face instantly turned red with anger, unable to utter a word. She had completely lost face in front of everyone!

“How boring!”

Lin Dong stood up and walked forward, moving away from the two annoying people like flies, Liu Yanran and Bai Han.

Soon, he walked to a spot only ten meters from the Sword Stele and sat down. There were very few people here, only a handful.

The closer one was, the greater the chance of comprehending Sword Intent!

The Inner Courtyard Disciples couldn’t help but look sideways, casting curious glances at Lin Dong. The surrounding Cultivators were all discussing animatedly.

“What is he trying to do?”

“Going so close, isn’t he afraid of being harmed by the Sword Intent?”

The closer one was, the greater the chance of comprehending Sword Intent.

However, the closer one was, the greater the power and damage of the Sword Intent. The terrifying pressure and Aura were not something an ordinary low-Rank Cultivator’s Physical Body could withstand!

The Disciples sitting there were all great experts of the Hua Hai Realm, yet they still found it somewhat difficult, let alone Lin Dong, a Core Formation Realm Cultivator.

“Could it be that he’s not satisfied with comprehending Sword Aura? Does he want to comprehend Sword Intent as well?”

“Impossible! In thousands of years of the academy’s history, there has never been anyone who comprehended Sword Intent in the Core Formation Realm. At most, only one person comprehended Sword Intent in the Hua Hai Realm!”

“And that Senior, moreover, established quite a reputation in the Central Region of Qingzhou!”

“I don’t believe anyone can comprehend Sword Intent in the Core Formation Realm! There are no such figures in ancient texts!”

“Heh heh, don’t think too much. I think he’s just curious to take a look. Next time, he’ll learn his lesson, haha!”

…

Some Cultivators in the Inner Courtyard discussed animatedly.

It wasn’t that they didn’t believe Lin Dong, but rather that only they knew how difficult it was to comprehend Sword Intent.

Especially Hua Hai Realm experts who came here to comprehend, they didn’t even come with the expectation of comprehending Sword Intent; at most, it was to lay the foundation for comprehending Sword Intent in the Tiangang Realm.

“Hmph!”

“He’d better be cut down by the Sword Intent and die!”

Liu Yanran gritted her teeth, wishing Lin Dong would indeed be harmed by the Sword Intent.

Bai Han, still recovering from his injuries, also opened his eyes and sneered, “Overestimating himself! How could Sword Intent be comprehended by a good-for-nothing like him?”

Only Skinny Monkey looked at Lin Dong’s back with firm eyes.

Buzz!

Just as everyone was discussing, the Sword Stele hummed, and an astonishing Sword Intent, like ripples, swept all around, quickly brushing past Lin Dong!

Everyone was waiting to watch the show, hoping to see Lin Dong suffer and get injured, or even severely wounded and screaming.

Unfortunately, they were disappointed. Lin Dong’s body merely swayed for a moment, then quickly stabilized. He sat down firmly like a rock and continued his Cultivation, showing no signs of injury.

“How is that possible?”

Liu Yanran said in disbelief.

Bai Han frowned, his expression also very ugly.

The Inner Courtyard Disciples couldn’t help but look sideways. Interesting! Is his Physical Body not weaker than a Hua Hai Realm Cultivator’s?

But no one saw Lin Dong’s face, which was facing the Sword Stele, flushed red and his cheeks puffed out. The sharp Sword Intent was constantly tearing inside his mouth.

“System, consume a normal Divine Ability Card!”

He endured the pain and frantically circulated the Devouring Heaven Scripture to refine it.

If others knew Lin Dong was devouring it, they would definitely curse, calling him a madman!

Is he really throwing his life away?!

Lin Dong’s idea was indeed to comprehend Sword Intent…

But not by himself, but with the System! He had tried to comprehend it for a little while, but found that it would take an extremely long time, and it was not as fast as using a cheat!

[Ding! Detected that the Host has two daily normal Divine Ability Cards. Would you like to combine them for use? This can increase the chance of obtaining a higher Rank Divine Ability!]

“Yes, yes, yes!”

Lin Dong didn’t have time to look closely. Although he didn’t fully understand, he knew that a higher Rank Divine Ability was better, so he chose to combine them without hesitation.

Most importantly, if he didn’t refine it, he would be crippled by the Sword Intent!

System: [Ding! Host has refined a wisp of Sword Intent, consuming two normal Divine Ability Cards. Detected that this is the Host’s first combination, an additional reward of a ten thousand times critical hit chance is granted, obtaining Saint-Grade Talent — Sword Dao Enlightenment!]

Sword Dao Enlightenment: Close to the Dao of Sword, instantly comprehending and understanding all aspects of Sword Dao, including Intent, Law, and Divine Ability!

Pfft!

As the System prompt sounded, Lin Dong spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, splattering it into the sky!

This scene instantly startled everyone, who all looked sideways, then shook their heads disdainfully. So, he was just putting on a strong front!

“I knew he couldn’t do it!”

Sword Intent was not something just anyone could comprehend. If it were that easy, why would they need to Cultivate here day after day?

“I thought he was so amazing. He tried to comprehend Sword Intent like others, and now he’s suffering the backlash!!” Liu Yanran and Bai Han both showed mocking expressions.

Hmm?

Skinny Monkey’s face changed drastically, and he wanted to step forward.

But the next moment, an earth-shattering Sword Intent surged from Lin Dong’s body, soaring into the sky and sweeping across the entire Sword Stele plaza.

It was sharp and unstoppable!

Everyone was stunned for a moment, especially Liu Yanran and those who were mocking Lin Dong. Their smiles instantly froze on their faces.

Then they widened their eyes, revealing expressions of disbelief!
