Borrowing a sword

Chapter 49 The Black Little Sword
Inside the secret chamber, Han Shuangjiang was protecting Chu Huaixu.

She could clearly sense that the other person's aura had changed several times, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why.

The moment Chu Huaixu opened his eyes, she couldn't help but feel a tremor in her heart.

Strangely enough, she sensed a sharp edge emanating from one person!
But that feeling quickly vanished completely.

Chu Huaixu exhaled a long breath and looked down at his body.

"This feels so good," he thought to himself.

"If the Sword Refining Technique could be this comfortable, then cultivation would be an addictive thing."

Han Shuangjiang took a few steps forward and asked with concern, "How are you?"

“It feels great,” he replied.

"Then try using the spirit disc and see how much the spirit embryo's grade has improved." She was quite curious.

What could Chu Huaixu do? Of course, he would satisfy her.

He took out the spirit plate from the storage token and then placed his large hand on it.

The pointer no longer stayed at mark one, but went all the way to mark three.

"One pill actually raised me two levels," Han Shuangjiang exclaimed in amazement.

Although Chu Huaixu is still a low-grade spiritual embryo, those who have cultivated know that improving the grade of a spiritual embryo is a matter of extraordinary luck and extremely difficult.

This is common sense.

Therefore, among all the player's attributes, the [Spiritual Embryo Attribute] is the most difficult to improve.

Chu Huaixu nodded and said, "This Xuan Tian Fetal Breathing Pill was personally refined by the Pill King himself, so its effects are estimated to be stronger than ordinary ones."

"It's a pity that this thing can only improve those with lower-grade spiritual embryos. If it could improve anyone, that would be amazing." He smiled.

In fact, theoretically speaking, the ultimate effect of the Xuan Tian Fetal Breathing Pill is to upgrade a third-grade low-level spiritual embryo to a fourth-grade mid-level spiritual embryo.

But Chu Huaixu had no intention of keeping it; he was sticking to this limit.

On the one hand, possessing a treasure is a crime, and there is a fear of unforeseen events.

On the other hand, he relied on his own memories, like a half-prophet, to improve the spiritual embryo through other channels.

It would be better to improve our strength earlier in the future.

If you lack the ability, you won't deserve many opportunities.

Now, Chu Huaixu is more concerned about [Spiritual Embryo Divine Power: Sword Heart Clarity].

"He awakened the spiritual embryo supernatural power so quickly?" This surprised him greatly.

Under normal circumstances, both high-grade and super-grade spiritual embryos have a chance to awaken their own spiritual embryo supernatural abilities during the cultivation process.

Generally, one only awakens to this state at least when they reach the level of a great practitioner.

From a game perspective, [Spells] are essentially [Active Skills], while [Spiritual Embryo Divine Power] is somewhat like a [Passive Skill].

Players also have a chance to awaken supernatural powers when improving the attributes of their spirit embryo.

The reason is simple. Take Chu Huaixu's [Heart Sword] as an example. The status marked in the character panel is: Covered in dust.

Theoretically, its maximum is 10 points of spiritual embryo attribute, which means that the limit of [Heart Sword] is a super-grade spiritual embryo, but it is still in the dust stage.

Therefore, it is not surprising that a spiritual embryo can develop supernatural powers.

"The problem is, in my past experience, no player has ever awakened a supernatural power when their attribute points are below 5!"

His own account was no exception; it was precisely when he reached level 5 of the Spirit Embryo that he awakened the supernatural power: Moment.

They're already considered lucky.

"Why did it awaken at only level 3 this time?"

"Is it because the pills were personally refined by the Pill King, making them exceptionally potent?"

"Or is it that Han Shuangjiang, this protagonist of the world with great fortune, really brought me good luck? And let me share in some good fortune?"

He remembered that many players on the forum had said that following Han Shuangjiang to run dungeons or doing some main storyline quests under her guidance would result in very good rewards and incredible luck.

"Could she actually have some kind of lucky charm quality?" Chu Huaixu looked up and sized her up.

Meeting his gaze, Han Shuangjiang felt a little uncomfortable and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"

"I think today's good fortune seems a bit outrageous."

His next words startled the cold-faced girl, causing her expression to change drastically.

"I have awakened the Spirit Embryo Divine Power," Chu Huaixu said. The Spirit Embryo Divine Power is generally exclusive to powerful cultivators and is one of the symbols of powerful cultivators.

Therefore, it is often mentioned in the stories that circulate in the mortal world.

Han Shuangjiang never expected that Chu Huaixu, who was still in the Qi Refining stage and had not even officially begun his cultivation, had awakened the Spirit Embryo Divine Power.
"Besides, isn't he a low-grade spiritual embryo?" the girl asked, puzzled.

Despite her surprise, she was still happy for him.

I'm even happy for this senior, Lei Wenyan.

Shuangbao's true nature is indeed kind.

She wisely refrained from asking what kind of supernatural power it was.

But Chu Huaixu was actually full of questions.

"Why is it 'Sword Heart Clarity'?"

"Why is it 'Sword Heart Clarity'?"

His spiritual embryo is the "Heart Sword," and he has awakened the "Sword Heart Clarity," which seems quite fitting on the surface.

But he knew very well that "Sword Heart" was actually a state of being for sword cultivators.

Sword cultivators who are powerful and have a deep understanding of the way of the sword will develop a sword heart.

The so-called "sword heart enlightenment" is the highest state of sword heart!

For example, the four peerless sword cultivators of this era, who were collectively known as the "Four Great Divine Swords," had all reached the realm of sword heart enlightenment.

This seemed impressive, but Chu Huaixu's feelings were still a little complicated.

The reason is simple: if he chooses the path of the sword and becomes a sword cultivator, then as he grows stronger, he will eventually develop a sword heart.

This means I've lost a spiritual embryonic divine ability for nothing! There's no such thing as a spiritual embryonic divine ability being exclusive to the sword heart!

On the bright side, developing a sword heart is something that happens in the middle to late stages of cultivation.

As for the realm of sword heart enlightenment, that is an even more distant realm.

To put it pretentiously, the Four Great Swords could kill me like an ant, but when it comes to swordsmanship and insight, you're all just on par with me.

At the very moment when his sword heart awakened, Chu Huaixu seemed to have gained a profound understanding of the way of the sword, and it was as if he saw many, many scenes in an instant.

But in the blink of an eye, he remembered nothing again, only a mysterious feeling swirling in his mind, which he could not explain.

He was so pleased with himself that he forgot his own limitations!
Chu Huaixu opened his character panel and carefully examined its description.

As Chu Huaixu had expected, the effect of this Spirit Embryo Divine Power was consistent with his understanding of Sword Heart Clarity, and it was not a case of the same name.

Simply put, once a sword cultivator develops a sword heart, all of his sword techniques and their effects will be enhanced.

In the game, when you generate Sword Heart, the effect is increased by 10%.

A minor mastery of swordsmanship is 40%.

When the swordsmanship is perfected, it reaches 70%.

A clear and focused mind is 100%!

Don't underestimate this small percentage difference.

In actual combat, this is truly overwhelming!
This is because it's a comprehensive enhancement, increasing not only the sword technique's damage, but also its speed, armor penetration, and other attributes.

For Chu Huaixu at this stage, being invincible among his peers is nothing more than basic skill.

Besides, he could feel that the small black sword in his sea of ​​consciousness had become much more active and was no longer so lifeless.

"It's almost like it's evolved from a near-death state, clinging to life, to a sickly state?" That's how Chu Huaixu felt, anyway.

He inexplicably felt like he was raising a child, and the more he cared for it, the healthier it became.

"There's one more thing, which is very important."

Chu Huaixu and this Heart Sword are of one mind; he can clearly sense its state.

With his senses, he could perceive that the power of sword clarity was actually contained within the small black sword.

"Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense, since it was created in the form of a spiritual embryo, and my spiritual embryo is the Heart Sword."

Upon realizing this, his eyes narrowed sharply, and an extremely bold guess popped into his mind.

"Does this mean that I still have a chance to develop a sword heart again?!"
