141: Chapter 141 Sword Intent, Complete!

Chapter 141: Saber Intent, Achieved!

In an instant, several condensed and lingering saber marks left afterimages in the room, their trajectories erratic, accompanied by low-pitched, piercing shrieks of tearing air.

At this moment, he felt his compatibility with "Lve Ying" reach a critical point, his mind completely merging into that transcendent extreme speed.

Before the Intent could be withdrawn, it had already shifted.

"Flowing Rainbow · Overlapping Waves!"

The blade slicing through the air was no longer a shriek, but a low-pitched roar like surging tides.

The saber light was no longer erratic, but layered, wave after wave surging forward and accumulating.

The saber light grew heavier and more solid through the overlapping; the air was squeezed by the majestic power, letting out a groan as if unable to bear the burden.

Li Wen felt his control over power and his grasp of rhythm increasing exponentially, as if the momentum of the Overlapping Waves was about to break through some invisible shackle.

Immediately after, "Flowing Rainbow · Drooping Heaven"!

The saber light suddenly soared into the sky, transforming in an instant from a gentle tide into a waterfall hanging from the sky that tore through the firmament.

A fierce and domineering Intent to cut through everything surged forth.

As if to tear down the sky itself, it slashed down with matchless pressure.

Li Wen's blood surged like lava throughout his body, and his will was elevated to the extreme at this moment.

"Flowing Rainbow · Mountain Piercer!"

Before the Drooping Heaven saber could fully dissipate, a more condensed and sharper dark light had already burst out from the downward trajectory like a drill piercing through mountains and rocks.

Power concentrated on a single point, indestructible.

Where the tip of the saber pointed, space seemed to be condensed and compressed, carrying the absolute conviction to penetrate all obstacles.

This was the ultimate manifestation of penetration and condensation.

Finally—

"Flowing Rainbow · Shou Que!"

The final form! The Intent accumulated in the first three forms and the power gathered in the fourth form erupted and unified perfectly in this final stance.

There were no world-shaking light effects, only a gray saber shadow in the rapid flow that seemed to compress all power and Concept to the limit.

Once, five times, ten times————

Li Wen was completely lost in himself, refining and performing these Five Stances of Flowing Rainbow over and over again.

He was no longer simply repeating Moves. Instead, in the mysterious state of the 110% comprehension bonus from Lv11 Absolute Focus, he touched the "Saber Intent" hidden beneath the surface of the Moves through the adjustment of every tiny movement, the micro-control of every flow of blood, and every outburst of mental will.

The transitions between saber Moves became increasingly smooth and flawless in his heart.

The nimbleness of Lve Ying, the majesty of Overlapping Waves, the fierceness of Drooping Heaven, the sharpness of Mountain Piercer, and the defense of Shou Que—five distinct types of Intent shifted and changed in his hands as naturally as breathing.

They were no longer isolated but began to faintly form a pattern of cyclical generation.

As the practice deepened, a mysterious and profound perception grew stronger and stronger.

Amidst countless swings of the saber, that once incredibly tough veil that obscured the space between the blade and the real world was constantly struck, torn, and analyzed by the insight of Lv11 Absolute Focus and his skyrocketing comprehension.

This veil—was the Saber Intent!

It was no longer a hazy Concept but like a physical barrier between the blade and real space.

Every perfect strike, every infusion of will, was like using the tip to pierce, the edge to scrape, and the Saber Intent to grind that veil.

Through countless repetitions, the veil was stretched thinner and thinner, becoming increasingly transparent, as if it would completely tear at any moment.

Finally!

When Li Wen, in the state of Lv11 Absolute Focus, once again performed the Five Stances of Flowing Rainbow to their most exhilarating Peak—Rip!

A soft sound, like cloth being completely torn apart, which only he could "hear" on a mental level.

In his mental vision, that incredibly tough veil broke upon hearing the sound.

The cold and monotonous standard fast saber in his hand was suddenly endowed with a brand-new "life" at this moment.

Buzz!

The blade uncontrollably emitted a clear and melodious hum.

A visible transparent ripple silently spread out with the blade as the center.

In an instant, the air in the entire martial arts room seemed to freeze.

It was no longer a restriction of a force field, but an absolute dominion originating from the level of "will."

All the air particles wandering in this space, the dissipated blood energy, and even the invisible light were instantly governed by this pure and extremely sharp Saber Intent.

Li Wen could clearly "see" that as his mind willed it, the air around the blade was precisely "cut" and "combed," forming lines of absolute obedience.

He even felt that when he swung the saber, he didn't need to use much blood energy; with just a sliver of will to guide it, the saber in his hand could burst forth with power far exceeding before, because it was no longer just a weapon, but an extension and manifestation of his own "will" in this physical world.

In the extreme silence, the surrounding air was guided and cut into clear trajectories by the Saber Intent, silently flowing around the blade like subjects worshiping an emperor.

Success!

Saber Intent!

The third Realm—the "Intent" Realm!

Li Wen abruptly sheathed his saber and stood still, the Absolute Focus state slowly deactivating.

He looked down at the still ordinary standard fast saber in his hand, his face initially a bit dazed, followed by a massive surge of ecstasy that felt like it would burst his chest, rushing out like a tsunami.

This feeling could not be fully described in words; it was an unprecedented blood-linked connection established with the "saber" itself, as if a brand-new world had suddenly opened up in his perception.

"I did it! I actually did it!" Li Wen's voice carried a slight tremble, a mix of excitement and the relief of finally breaking through the barrier after long-term effort.

"It's even faster than expected—the comprehension bonus from Scholar Lv11, combined with Primordial Spirit control, is actually this powerful."

He couldn't help but swing the saber again casually.

Without using any blood energy, just a slight movement of his mind.

Pfft!

With a slight muffled sound in the air, a shallow but incredibly smooth cut appeared silently on the shoulder of an alloy humanoid target placed three meters away.

This was pure Saber Intent cutting, released from a distance.

"This is the true mastery of the saber with the spirit—the Intent within the saber—" Li Wen felt this miraculous effect, his heart surging with emotion. "Just stepping into the Intent Realm grants such long-range power. If I can hone it to the Peak, a single thought could generate ten thousand blades, and the Saber Intent Domain would form naturally—what kind of sight would that be?"

After the ecstasy came deeper reflection and intense anticipation.

"The initial formation of Saber Intent is of extraordinary significance! It not only drastically increases the power of my Five Stances of Flowing Rainbow but also means I have truly stepped onto the broad road leading to the fourth Realm, the 'Soul' Realm, and even the fifth Realm, the 'Dao' Realm, in saber techniques."

He thought of the ancient records of peerless experts' saber paths in the Kindling University library, and a warm current surged in his heart.

"More importantly, the Nine Heavens Divine Body."

Li Wen's thoughts connected quickly. "The reason why the Nine Heavens Divine Body is the most difficult to Cultivate among the super-grade God-Fiend methods is that, besides requiring high focus and control, it has another harsh condition. To Cultivate the Nine Heavens Divine Body to Major Achievement, one's technique Realm must at least reach the Intent Realm!

There are nine layers of the Nine Heavens Divine Body in total. The more layers practiced before breaking through to the Flying Star Rank, the stronger one becomes in the future. One doesn't need to comprehend the Intent Realm before the seventh layer, but to Cultivate the seventh layer, the technique Realm must reach the Intent Realm."

Thinking of that super-grade method he had long desired with its heaven-defying power, a more intense flame ignited in Li Wen's eyes.

"One week! In one week, I'll take another sacred body golden vein fruit to push my Physical Body to the Peak of a High-level Martial Artist."

Li Wen tightly gripped the saber in his hand, feeling that omnipresent Saber Intent that was as easy to use as his own limbs.

The light of the martial arts room fell on him, casting a straight and powerful shadow.

Outside the window, the morning sun of the Xinhuo Ancestral Vein was bursting forth, casting ten thousand golden rays that reflected the figure of the young man standing with his saber, also illuminating the brilliant path ahead leading to the supreme Peak of martial arts.

After envisioning the scene after his future promotion to the Flying Star Rank, Li Wen gathered his thoughts.

He clearly realized that using the current five forms of the Flowing Rainbow Startling Magpie Chapter to hone his newly comprehended Saber Intent was already extremely inefficient.

These five saber forms stopped at the edge of the "Intent" Realm. To glimpse the higher "Saber Soul" Realm, he needed new guidance and a deeper Legacy.

No longer hesitating, Li Wen flicked his wrist, and the cold, glinting standard fast saber was precisely inserted into the groove of the weapon rack by the wall.

With steady steps, he walked straight toward the virtual pod placed in a corner of the room.

His goal was clear: in the Xinhuo World, obtain the core of the Five Luminaries Heavenly Rainbow Art—the middle volume, Dawn Long Rainbow Chapter, which points directly to the soul realm.

The pod door closed, and his consciousness sank in.

Opening his eyes again, the familiar and grand Xinhuo World, constructed from countless data streams, was already beneath his feet.

Li Wen did not delay at all, skillfully initiating the teleportation. His figure instantly appeared in the Technique Legacy Area, which exuded an ancient aura and the sharpness of a blade.

His gaze was like a torch as he precisely located the saber technique category and pulled up the complete exchange list for the Five Luminaries Heavenly Rainbow Art:

First Volume: Flowing Rainbow Startling Magpie Chapter—Exchange cost: 5,000,000 core cultivation points (Exchanged)

Middle Volume: Dawn Long Rainbow Chapter—Exchange cost: 50,000,000 core cultivation points (Requirement: Intent Realm)

Final Volume: Profound Vault Rainbow Silence Chapter—Exchange cost: 500,000,000 core cultivation points (Requirement: soul realm)

soul realm)

Looking at the Dawn Long Rainbow Chapter, which symbolized a higher Realm of the saber path, and the requirement of the "Intent Realm," there was not the slightest ripple in Li Wen's eyes.

The reward for being the top student in the global freshman assessment was enough to support this choice.

Hundreds of millions of xinhuo points and core cultivation points lay quietly in his account. Fifty million core points? It was indeed not worth him "blinking an eye."

"Exchange Dawn Long Rainbow Chapter."

As if responding to his determination, a portion of the huge number in the account was instantly deducted.

Light flowed around him, and the familiar feeling of weightlessness came. He was once again teleported to the independent Legacy space dedicated to this peerless saber technique.

It was still that void that seemed capable of containing the stars, and still that middle-aged man in simple ancient clothing, holding a dark gold wooden saber, with a blurred face but pressure as vast as the sea, standing quietly in the center like an eternal gatekeeper.

Without any words, the middle-aged man felt the aura of Saber Intent that had already condensed on Li Wen—he met the qualifications for learning.

The wooden saber in his hand vibrated slightly, and the space buzzed in response. A Saber Intent that was deeper, more domineering, and closer to the Origin of "light" than the Flowing Rainbow Startling Magpie Chapter spread out.

The Dawn Long Rainbow Chapter also had five forms!

Adhering to the consistent style of the Five Luminaries Heavenly Rainbow Art, each form had its own focus, pursuing a certain ultimate path.

The middle-aged man began to demonstrate, his movements slow yet containing the terrifying power to tear through the void. The saber light was no longer a simple rainbow but more like the first heaven-splitting divine light bursting from the end of the night, enough to incinerate heaven and earth and tear through the dawn!

[Dawn First Form · Instant Rainbow Form] The saber light is like the first bloom of dawn, instantly penetrating the boundaries of time and space. This form pursues the sublimation of absolute speed. Before the blade arrives, the rainbow light has already pierced the target. The strike trajectory can even briefly distort light, creating a visual phenomenon of "saber light lag."

During the demonstration, the man's wooden saber only trembled for an instant, yet five intersecting rainbow marks exploded simultaneously in the void ten steps away, as if multiple strikes were made at once.

[Dawn Second Form · Mountain Collapse Form] The saber momentum is like a mountain collapsing, and the rainbow light condenses into a thousand-ton pressure.

Unlike the eruption of the Overlapping Waves Style, this form emphasizes using Saber Intent to trigger the momentum of heaven and earth, with a single strike feeling like the entire firmament is falling.

The man slowly pressed the wooden saber down, and the ground actually caved in with spider-web-like cracks out of thin air, the edges of the cracks glowing with a molten lava-like rainbow light.

[Dawn Third Form · Sky Crack Form] Where the blade passes, the rainbow light tears space to form a temporary "crack," which can swallow enemy attacks.

This form is the advanced version of the Shou Que Style; not only is its defense invincible, but it can also convert the swallowed energy into the sharpness of the next strike.

The man pulled the wooden saber horizontally, and a distorted rainbow crack appeared out of thin air, swallowing all the incoming virtual arrows and then reflecting them out from another crack.

[Dawn Fourth Form · Thousand Luminaries Form] The saber light divides into a thousand shadows, each containing physical lethality.

The wide-area strangulation of the Drooping Heaven Stance is transformed into precise strikes in this form. The rainbow light is like stars falling to the world, capable of locking onto multiple targets within its coverage.

The man rotated the wooden saber slightly, and hundreds of rainbow lights poured down like a rain of arrows, but they suddenly suspended when approaching the ground, forming a magnificent star map.

[Dawn Fifth Form · Silent Rainbow Form] The Saber Intent annihilates all things, and where the rainbow light passes, all life is extinguished.

This form has already touched the threshold of the soul realm. The strike not only targets the Physical Body but also directly tears apart the opponent's mental will.

When the man finally sheathed his saber, the tip of the wooden saber tapped lightly. The rainbow light in the entire space suddenly solidified and then shattered and dissipated like glass. Even Li Wen felt a pang of pain in his Primordial Spirit.

After the five forms were performed, the entire space was filled with various heart-palpitating Saber Intent residues such as tearing, destruction, eternity, illusion, and annihilation, as if it had just experienced a destruction and rebirth like the beginning of the Universe.

At the moment the middle-aged man sheathed his saber, Li Wen's gaze was firmly locked on the "Dawn First Form · Instant Rainbow Form."

That pursuit of ultimate speed had long been carved into the depths of his bones; it was the original intention he had been unwavering about since the beginning of his journey as a Martial Artist.

No matter how the saber path evolved or how the Realm improved, his belief in pursuing extreme speed never changed.

"I'll start with you." As Li Wen's thought fell, the Primordial Spirit figure in his Sea of Consciousness shone brightly, powerful Mental Energy surged, and the comprehension bonus of the Lv11 Scholar was fully activated.

The 110% comprehension boost from Lv11 Absolute Focus instantly enveloped his entire body, condensing all senses and thoughts into the upcoming Profound Truth of the "Dawn First Form · Instant Rainbow Form."

The saber path refinement belonging to the Dawn Long Rainbow had officially begun.

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

The crimson morning sun leaped over the towering Peaks of the Xinhuo Ancestral Vein, casting warm light onto the row of villas.

Inside Villa No. 1, Li Wen woke up from his immersion right on time.

His deep eyes opened, and a sharp light flashed and vanished.

The first thing he did after opening his eyes was to stir his thoughts, awakening the panel floating deep in his consciousness:
