81: Sedimentation! The growth of white ink

This was a sword like a galaxy of stars.

It was slightly longer and slender than a regular knight's sword, radiant yet not ostentatious, like a peerless work of art.

Just looking at it made one feel a spiritual baptism of art, as if it were the greatest creation!

Clarissa loved this weapon. Although it had no scabbard, it didn't need one. Clarissa felt it was right for it to be without a scabbard, because no scabbard could contain it.

This “Star Heart,” as a growth weapon, was not only indestructible in its own material but also came with a self-repair function, so there was no need to worry about damaging it.

Secondly, the weapon's power and abilities would increase with the advancement of her Knight Breathing Technique - Star Anthem, and of course, the greatest amplification came from the increased understanding of Star Sword Intent.

Now, with Clarissa's 7.6% Star Sword Intent, coupled with her current practice of the Breathing Technique, the quality of this “Star Heart” was dozens of times stronger than the high-level elemental knight's sword Clarissa used before.

Clarissa held the “Star Heart” in her arms.

“God…”

…

“Master…” Several maids walked over.

“What is it?” Clarissa was interrupted and frowned slightly as she looked over.

Seeing Clarissa frown, the maid immediately became flustered and fearful.

“Uh… The royal family has looked for you several times… but you weren't here…” the maid told Clarissa.

“Hmm?” Clarissa looked at the maid with some confusion: “I understand. It's fine, don't worry about it. If they come again, inform me, well, if I’m still here.”

“Yes… Yes!” The maid nodded: “Then we shall withdraw!”

The maids bowed slightly and withdrew.

Clarissa didn't know why the royal family was looking for her, but she didn't care much.

After all, she had experienced the major event of saving the world. Her experiences were different, and Clarissa's current perspective was already different.

Her journey had already been set among the starry seas, in the Celestial Realms!

She thought her performance in saving the world was probably quite good, right? Although there was a small hiccup at the end, she also knew that God cared about her!

Otherwise, why would God specifically save her!

This could be considered a great merit, right? Does this mean she is one step closer to being by God's side? Clarissa would even be willing to be a maid.

After silently drifting off in thought for a while, Clarissa remembered that she still had over 160 million source points.

First, she upgraded two of her talents:

[Talent Enhancement VII] → [Talent Enhancement VIII] (Cost 15 million source points, upgrade requires 150 million source points)

[Swordsmanship Mastery VII] → [Swordsmanship Mastery VIII] (Cost 15 million source points, upgrade requires 150 million source points)

With over 130 million source points remaining, Clarissa spent 10 million to purchase the Dragon Blood Warrior IV bloodline ability:

[Calamity Dragon Rider Form].

A new form?! Clarissa looked at this ability with some surprise.

Then Clarissa looked at the Dragon Blood Warrior V bloodline ability: [Calamity Dragon Rider Form - Advanced] Requirement: 100 million source points.

Clarissa thought for a moment and chose to purchase it as well.

Looking at her remaining balance of over 20 million, she couldn't help but sigh that it wasn't enough.

She didn't know what this [Calamity Dragon Rider Form] was like, but... she wondered if she would ever have a chance to use it. She should find an opportunity to test it out~

Clarissa certainly wouldn't use it here. In her normal state, she could still maintain her aura. Not to mention the new form, if she were to transform into Dragonkin Form now, with that unrestrained dragon might, Clarissa in her transformed state was still a bit different from her normal state.

She would be more unrestrained, flamboyant, and wild.

“Phew~ These days, I should just settle down!” Clarissa pondered her future plans. Having saved the world, her strength had undergone earth-shattering changes.

Although there were no side effects, she still needed to properly settle down.

At the same time, she also needed to integrate her powers and develop them well, not just simply use them.

…

Blade Spirit World.

Two months had passed since the Newcomer Ranking Competition.

In these two months, Bai Mo had grown very rapidly.

Everyone's rankings had basically remained very good.

Thanks to the help of the Akatsuki Organization, Zhang Ling's strength had improved rapidly, and she was now stably in fifth place.

Bai Mo was stably in fourth place.

Wen Yu, as the first-place holder, had been challenged six times by the former strongest newcomer in these two months, basically once a day during the ranking days.

However, all of them ended in defeat.

Wen Yu's title as the strongest newcomer goddess was also firmly established.

Now was the period of rapid development for these newcomers, which meant that after entering university, they officially began their true cultivation.

Regardless of who they were, they would basically experience a significant period of enhancement compared to before.

In these two months, Wen Yu's spiritual power had reached 944 points.

And as for Yi Yun, the former strongest newcomer, his spiritual power had reached 1222 points.

Zhang Ling's spiritual power reached 495 points.

Bai Mo's spiritual power growth was even more exaggerated, having surpassed Zhang Ling by quite a bit, reaching 611 points.

Although Bai Mo's spiritual power talent was A-rank like Zhang Ling's, he had the amplification from the Shi Jie · Bing Lun Wan ability, which also improved his cultivation efficiency.

However, this was not Bai Mo's biggest gain; his biggest gain was source points!

Bai Mo had gained 350,000 source points in these two months!

This was thanks to his diligent expeditions into secret realms these days.

Today, under the system's recommendation, Bai Mo spent all of the 440,000 source points he had finally accumulated to purchase two new abilities:

[High Concentration Spiritual Power]: The quality of spiritual power is improved.

[Shi Jie: Soul Slayer Sword - Sleeve White Snow]

Sleeve White Snow cost 300,000 source points, and [High Concentration Spiritual Power] cost 140,000 source points.

A new Shi Jie, with a [Broken Bone] discount attached, Bai Mo purchased it without hesitation.

His Hyōrinmaru had given him many benefits so far.

Bai Mo didn't know that Sleeve White Snow was the most beautiful Soul Slayer Sword, but he knew that Sleeve White Snow had the words [Ice-type] attached to it.

Maximum compatibility! And with a broken bone discount, of course he bought it directly!

If Bai Mo's previous spiritual power quality was 3, after purchasing [High Concentration Spiritual Power], it became 5, and now after purchasing Sleeve White Snow, it increased again to 7!

Not only that, Bai Mo's spiritual power also received an amplification, increasing from 611 points to 728 points.

Looking at his remaining four-digit source points, although he felt a little heartache, Bai Mo felt it was very worthwhile!

Now... maybe he could contend with Wen Yu? How about... there's no time like the present? Spar with Wen Yu?
