"Let's try it first!"

Qin Yan's eyes fixed, "I'll use this 'Destructions End Spear Qi' as the test target to see how many 'Skill Points' are needed to push its entry progress!

If the consumption is too huge and results in me being unable to meet the standard within a month, I'll immediately change targets and choose a third grade or second grade Spear Qi as a backup."

After all, no matter how good the opportunity is, one must have a life to enjoy it.

Life is always the first priority!

After making up his mind, Qin Yan no longer hesitated.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and once again extended the tip of his long spear steadily and slowly towards that clump of dark red and black, miniature black hole-like "Destructions End Spear Qi".

"Hum—!"

The moment of contact was completely different from the gentle information flow when probing other Spear Qi before!

A massive, cold, tyrannical torrent filled with the will of destruction, like water from a burst dam, surged in along the spear shaft and crashed violently into Qin Yan's mind!

"Boom!"

Qin Yan only felt his vision go black, as if he were instantly thrown into a world of only destruction and end!

The heavens and earth collapsed, stars fell, all things withered, and everything was heading towards irreversible silence.

Countless fragmented pieces of information filled with despair and the desire for destruction impacted his mind, trying to drag his will into that endless abyss of destruction!

His eyes suddenly turned pitch black in reality.

The distinction between the whites and the pupils was lost, leaving only a profound darkness.

As if they were two miniature black holes, dark red destructive electric arcs vaguely flickered within them.

"Hah..."

Veins bulged on Qin Yan's throat and forehead, and his whole body's muscles were tense.

Gritting his teeth, he forcibly stabilized his mind.

Qin Yan began to swing the long spear in his hand according to the intent of destruction pouring into his mind.

He thrust out the first spear.

The movement was awkward and the trajectory stiff, a far cry from his usual flowing Spear Technique.

But the moment the spear tip sliced through the air, it brought a very faint black airflow—that was not Spear Light, nor Spear Aura, but a trace of... destructive aura so weak it was almost undetectable!

Although weak and immature, it indeed existed.

Qin Yan's heart lifted.

It's working!

He continued to swing the spear.

Second spear, third spear, fourth spear...

The movements were still awkward, but with each strike, the violent destructive thoughts in his mind began to gradually settle, organize, and transform.

They were no longer a chaotic and disorderly torrent but began to merge with Qin Yan's own foundation in the Spear Dao.

"Huff— huff—"

Qin Yan's breathing gradually became heavy.

Every spear strike required him to use his will to comprehend those destructive intents.

This placed an enormous burden on both his body and spirit.

Time passed quietly in the monotonous swinging of the spear.

One hour, two hours, three hours...

Qin Yan was completely immersed in the ocean of the true intent of destruction, forgetting time, space, and even his own existence.

Eight hours passed.

"Thud!"

Qin Yan knelt on one knee, the Ink Trace Spear thrust into the ground, supporting his swaying body.

His face was as pale as paper, his lips were cracked, and although the blackness in his pupils had mostly faded, wisps of shadows still remained.

Fatigue.

An indescribable fatigue spread from the deepest part of his spirit, submerging every inch of his consciousness like a tide.

"I've reached my limit..."

Qin Yan smiled bitterly in his heart.

In the morning, he had already practiced the spear for eight consecutive hours.

Now, after another eight hours of high-intensity training in the Spear Qi trial, a cumulative sixteen hours of high-intensity training in one day was beyond his current capacity.

Normally, he would definitely stop immediately, sit in meditation to regulate his breathing, and recover his spirit.

But today, he couldn't.

The trial period was only thirty days; time was precious.

However, Qin Yan was not without options.

With a thought, the light on his Storage Ring flickered slightly.

The next moment, that blue-and-green, ancient and elegant holy grail of life appeared in his empty left hand.

The moment the grail appeared, a gentle, majestic power filled with infinite vitality, like the purest spring water, naturally radiated from the cup's body, enveloping Qin Yan.

This power of vitality formed a sharp contrast with the fatigue and depletion caused by resisting the destructive intent within him, yet it merged and replenished perfectly.

Like rain after a long drought!

Qin Yan only felt a cool and comfortable sensation instantly flow through his limbs and bones, and the soreness and stiffness of his muscles rapidly receded.

His arms, which were originally as heavy as lead, were once again filled with strength!

Although he couldn't actively activate the holy grail of life to perform any divine abilities, the most fundamental nourishing aura that this Elf Clan holy relic radiated at all times had an incredible divine effect on restoring physical strength and relieving mental fatigue!

It was like an inexhaustible super "power bank" and "purifier," clearing the obstacles for Qin Yan's continuous training.

"Good treasure!"

Qin Yan praised in his heart, his spirit greatly lifted.

Holding the cup in his left hand and swinging the spear in his right, he once again threw himself into the confrontation and comprehension of the "Destructions End Spear Qi" intent.

Another four hours passed.

When Qin Yan finally felt that even with the nourishing vitality of the holy grail of life, deep mental exhaustion began to surge like a tide, and it was difficult to maintain high concentration like at the beginning, he decisively stopped his spear-swinging movements.

He knew that too much was as bad as too little.

He needed real rest and regulation now.

"I wonder what kind of world-shaking power this supreme treasure could unleash in the hands of a true Elf Royal?"

Qin Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead, unable to help but feel a bit of curiosity and emotion in his heart.

He was essentially using nuclear fuel as a hand warmer—a waste of a precious resource, but it had solved his urgent need.

After a brief regulation of his breathing, Qin Yan opened the attribute panel again.

His gaze went directly to [Destructions End Spear Qi (first grade)].

Then, he was shocked to find that the progress number behind it was no longer 0%!

[Destructions End Spear Qi (first grade)]: Progress 1%

"1%!" Qin Yan's eyes flashed with sharp light, and a wave of surprise surged in his heart.

This 1% progress was achieved without investing any Skill Points, relying solely on twelve hours of his own high-intensity comprehension!

"It seems the compatibility between this 'Destructions End Spear Qi' and my 'Blood Demon Nest' is indeed extraordinary!"

If not for this internal resonance and compatibility, with just his own Spear Technique comprehension, trying to make 1% progress on a First Grade Spear Qi from scratch in only twelve hours without the aid of Skill Points would be almost a fantasy.

This verified his previous hypothesis.

"Since my own comprehension efficiency is acceptable, what about adding Skill Points?"

Qin Yan no longer hesitated, focused his mind, and invested all 3 Skill Points accumulated today into the progress bar of [Destructions End Spear Qi]!

The panel flickered slightly, and the progress numbers began to jump.
