160: Gold-tier talent—a god of swordsmanship among men!

"Congratulations, Dao Master. The Talent Evolution was successful. The Dao Master has obtained the brilliant gold rank Talent—Human World Blade God!"

——————

[Talent: Human World Blade God]

[Rank: brilliant gold rank]

[Introduction: Divine and enlightened, existing within a single blade. Heart and blade reflect each other, understanding the ultimate Dao.]

You are the ultimate manifestation of talent in the path of the blade within the human Realm. You are the prophet of the blade path who is born only once among a hundred trillion living beings. Your talent is so high that it has touched a level that is nearly 'divine and enlightened'!

As a Heaven-Defying Blade Path Prodigy who can be called the pinnacle of the human Realm, you possess three great supernatural abilities in the path of the blade.

1. Lucid Blade Heart: Your talent in the path of the blade is incredibly high; any blade technique seems to have no secrets in your eyes.

For blade techniques below the Innate level, you can instantly see through all their profound essence and mysteries, reaching the Great Perfection Realm.

For blade techniques at the Innate level, you can reach Great Perfection within a period of one day to one month at most.

As for Saint-Grade blade techniques at the limit of the human Realm, your cultivation speed is still incredibly fast. Although you cannot master them instantly, the efficiency of cultivating and comprehending such techniques is more than ten times faster than a mystic purple rank Genius, which is incredibly fast.

2. Direct Audience with the Dao Source: When you can sense the 'Dao' between heaven and earth, you will enter a state of 'Sincere Reverence' whenever you Cultivate with a blade.

This state will use the blade as your Foundation to reach a state of resonance with the myriad Daos of heaven and earth, instantly doubling your efficiency in comprehending the Dao.

3. Heaven and Earth as Teacher: Your understanding of the blade has transcended specific Moves. When your heart feels it and your intent points toward it, mountains, rivers, and the myriad forms of the Mortal World can all become sources of inspiration and blueprints for your technique creation.

Walking through heaven and earth and taking nature as your teacher will cause your state of mind to undergo a transformation, greatly increasing your will, and once again significantly increasing your efficiency in cultivating blade techniques and comprehending the Dao!

You are the ultimate answer to the path of the blade for humanity, born to exhaust, expand, and define the end of the blade path that 'man' can reach!

You are destined to carve your own insurmountable Peak into the history of the blade!]

"Human World Blade God? This is the brilliant gold rank Talent I evolved this time? This is the power of a brilliant gold rank Talent? Incredible! It truly is... incredible!"

Looking at these lines of text, Lin Yi was instantly shocked, excited, and ecstatic!

Human World Blade God, three great supernatural abilities.

The first, 'Lucid Blade Heart,' greatly increased his efficiency and speed when practicing Martial Arts Techniques.

The second, 'Direct Audience with the Dao Source,' significantly increased his speed in comprehending the Dao.

As for the third, 'Heaven and Earth as Teacher,' it not only further strengthened the first two abilities, causing his speed in Martial Arts Techniques and Dao comprehension to increase once again, but also allowed him to temper his will through comprehending the blade and the Dao!

This effect was truly powerful! So powerful that it made one feel a sense of awe.

Lin Yi's heart was racing. It wasn't until a full hundred breaths later that he let out a heavy breath, and his mind slowly calmed down:

"Whew!"

"Human World Blade God... as expected of a brilliant gold rank Talent. Only a talent of this Rank could probably rival the talent the Martial God possessed back then!"

"It was precisely because he had such a terrifying talent in hand that the Martial God was able to single-handedly create the Martial Dao and even the myriad Daos during the primitive era of the Human Race, making the Human Race the strongest in the Nine Provinces!"

"However, looking at the Martial God's experience in creating the myriad Daos, his talent should have been an all-rounder type like 'Extraordinary Comprehension,' a brilliant gold rank Talent proficient in all Daos. Otherwise, he couldn't have created so many Daos. My 'Human World Blade God' is a pure blade path talent."

"In terms of breadth, this talent might not match the Martial God, but in terms of depth—for instance, talent specifically in the path of the blade—perhaps I am even above the Martial God!"

"Furthermore, what's more important is that after evolving this 'Human World Blade God' talent, the number of my blade-type talents has reached three."

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Lin Yi's face.

With the number of talents reaching three, the three talents could undergo Fusion and evolution within the attribute panel.

Given how terrifying brilliant gold rank and mystic purple rank talents were, as long as this Fusion evolution succeeded, Lin Yi's blade path talent would reach an even more incredible level.

In that case, even someone as strong as the Martial God would likely only be able to look at Lin Yi's back when it came to blade path talent alone!

The Martial God was a supreme legend on the Nine Provinces continent. Even Lin Yi admired him immensely, and whenever he faced the Martial God or even mentioned him, he couldn't help but feel a sense of looking up at a high mountain.

But now, his talent had actually far surpassed him. Although it was only in the path of the blade, this was still an achievement sufficient to drive countless people mad with envy.

Lin Yi's heart was filled with excitement and anticipation.

At that moment, lines of text appeared before Lin Yi's eyes on the attribute panel.

Hum!

"Detected that the Dao Master already has three blade path talents of the same type, reaching the minimum threshold to open the Talent Fusion evolution module. Do you wish to perform Talent Fusion?"

"Yes!"

Seeing this, Lin Yi nodded without hesitation.

In the next moment... on the attribute panel, the three talents 'Human World Blade God,' 'Master of the Blade,' and 'Master of the Blade' instantly transformed into three rays of light—two purple and one gold—and flew out of the attribute panel.

Afterward, the three rays of light intertwined above Lin Yi's Sea of Consciousness, quickly beginning to fuse like a sphere.

In the void, endless brilliant light shone in all directions, reflecting across Lin Yi's entire spiritual Sea of Consciousness.

These lights sometimes turned into a deep mystic purple and sometimes into an incredibly piercing brilliant gold.

Of course, the mystic purple light accounted for a very small proportion, appearing for probably less than a thousandth of the time, vanishing almost instantly.

This entire sphere was almost completely brilliant gold... Just like that, Lin Yi waited silently within his spiritual Sea of Consciousness.

Finally, after fusing for approximately a hundred breaths of time.

All the light finally condensed completely once again, forming a radiant sphere in the void that emitted endless golden light!

Boom!

"Congratulations, Dao Master. This Talent Fusion was successful. The Dao Master has obtained the brilliant gold rank Talent—Strong God of Swordsmanship in the Human Realm!"

[Talent: Strong God of Swordsmanship in the Human Realm]

[Rank: brilliant gold rank]

[Introduction: An enhanced version of the 'Human World Blade God' talent formed by the Fusion of the three talents: 'Human World Blade God,' 'Master of the Blade,' and 'Master of the Blade'.]

Compared to the original version, although no qualitative change has occurred, all supernatural abilities and characteristics have increased by about thirty percent.

In addition, 'Strong God of Swordsmanship in the Human Realm' has also absorbed the characteristic of the 'Master of the Blade' to command divine blades, giving this talent the same ability to command divine blades.

Furthermore, compared to 'Master of the Blade,' the effect has increased by more than several times!

You are the supreme powerhouse of the blade path who appears once in thirty trillion people! The ultimate answer to the path of the blade for humanity, born to exhaust, expand, and define the end of the blade path that 'man' can reach!

You are destined to carve your own insurmountable Peak into the history of the blade path!]

The text faded.

In the next moment.

Pop!

Lin Yi's body suddenly shuddered.

"Hmm? Limit Breaking Seventh Layer... I just broke through like that?"

Seeing this, Lin Yi couldn't help but be stunned.
