You call this the way of the sword?

This isn't just a regular upgrade; it represents a qualitative change overall!

Name: Yang Qingfeng

[Cultivation: Swordsmanship]

[Cultivation Level: 100 days]

[Level: 1 (0%)]

[Constitution: 30 (Strength)]

[Mana: 30 (Spirit)]

[Agility: 10]

Endurance: 10 (Stamina)

[Equipment: None]

【Sword Domain: 4/10】

[Talent: Eternal Spirit Dao Heart (Level 1)]

[Eternal Spirit Dao Heart: Increases Comprehension by 10 times, and increases Dao Cultivation gained in battle by 10 times]

[Active Skills: Summon Sword Soul (Level 11), Transform into Sword (Level 11)]

Passive Skills: Sword Master (No Level Requirement), Sword Control (Level 11)

[Summon Sword Soul: Consumes mana to summon an eighth-grade sword soul]

[Sword Transformation: Transforms a sword spirit or other unclaimed soul into a spirit sword. The spirit sword is influenced by the sword master's cultivation level and can inherit some of the soul's skills from its previous life.]

[Sword Master: Ruler of the sword path within the domain; as long as the Sword Master exists, the sword soul will never die.]

[Sword Control: Everything can be a sword; control it with your mind. All sword skills deal 11 times more damage.]

The level remained unchanged, and the basic attributes did not increase, but the skill level increased by a full 10 levels!

Moreover, when the Sword Soul is upgraded from the ninth rank to the eighth rank, the Spirit Sword can inherit some skills, and the bonus of the Sword Control skill is increased by a full 11 times!

This is more than just an upgrade; it's an incredible leap forward!

Even Yang Qingfeng, who was naturally calm, was shocked at this moment.

He quickly released his sword spirit to check its attributes.

[Eighth-Rank Sword Soul]

【Root bone: 800】

[Mana: 800]

Dexterity: 800

[Endurance: 800]

[Skill: Living on the Brink of Death]

[Born to Die: Burn all soul power to unleash sword energy, dealing 200% damage to the designated target. After casting the skill, the sword soul will return to the sword domain. Cooldown: 30 minutes]

Looking at the four-dimensional attributes of 800, Yang Qingfeng was completely dumbfounded.

His highest score was only 30.

The highest level a sword master can reach is only 30!

"That's way too high..."

Yang Qingfeng looked up at the sword spirit, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

After advancing to the eighth rank, the sword spirit's appearance seemed no different, except that its body was brighter, but its combat power increased by a whole level.

With a stat total of 800 points, it can deal 11 times the damage when boosted by sword control. If you burn your soul and activate the "Life to the Death" skill, the damage of the sword energy you unleash can be doubled!

Yang Qingfeng didn't know what the attributes of a level 10 cultivator should be, but his intuition told him that even if he leveled up to 10, he wouldn't reach 800 in any single attribute.

In other words, the growth value of a sword spirit is inherently higher than that of a cultivator, and the difference in attributes will gradually increase as the level increases!

"This is truly... the way of the sword?"

Yang Qingfeng couldn't help but have doubts, feeling that he should be associated with the domineering way rather than the sword way. Then he came to his senses and suddenly realized the origin of this sublimation.

"Could it be divine matter?"

"The Talent Realm can not only awaken talents, but also enhance skills?"

Yang Qingfeng thought of Yongling and realized the extraordinary nature of the Primordial Dao Flower.

He felt he was probably right. The Talent Realm could indeed elevate skills, but the key lay in the divine matter, and the Primordial Dao Flower he had obtained was definitely of a high grade.

This is the only explanation.

Otherwise, a sudden increase of 10 levels would be too bizarre, simply unheard of.

I've struck it lucky and gotten a tremendous opportunity!

"No wonder our ancestors valued it so much; the Talent Realm not only awakens one's potential, but also offers other benefits..."

After figuring this out, Yang Qingfeng suddenly understood and began to feel happy.

Whether it's domineering or the way of the sword, it's still his way, so naturally the stronger the better.

Without thinking any further, Yang Qingfeng calmed down.

With a thought, he transformed into a sword!

A burst of spiritual light erupted from the space between Sumeru and the sword spirit's body turned into mist and smoke. All of its spiritual power merged into the sword, which then rapidly shrank, transforming into a tiny spiritual sword as thin as a toothpick.

Yang Qingfeng was stunned for two or three seconds, then suddenly didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

The sword spirit was enhanced, but the spirit sword was reduced to its original form. The little spirit sword, with only a hundred days of cultivation, seemed to be on the same level as his 30 attribute points, which was laughable.

"For now, it can only be used as a concealed weapon."

"From this perspective, the trials in the secret realm seem like a demonstration, allowing people to quickly familiarize themselves with skills and understand what they will look like in the future."

"What an amazing place."

The next morning, Yang Qingfeng got up very early.

After his usual morning exercise, he changed into his scholar's robes, picked up his teacher's sword, and arrived at Wendao Cottage on time.

At this hour in the past, the thatched cottage was always filled with the sound of reading aloud, but today it is unusually quiet.

Led by Chang Maofu, a total of 19 newly recruited cultivators boarded a cloud boat and headed to the location of the instance, the Void Mist Canyon.

The distance wasn't far, but by the time they arrived, the canyon entrance was already packed with people.

Youlong Town belongs to Tiannan. There are dozens of blessed lands in Tiannan, with nearly a thousand people in total, all of whom must follow the same rules.

The Misty Canyon is divided into two parts.

New dungeons and wilderness hunting.

First up is the newly added instance.

The so-called newbie dungeon is a beginner dungeon specially prepared for new cultivators. The monster attributes in it have been greatly weakened to ensure the safety of the young people to the greatest extent.

The young players must clear the dungeon to enter the canyon and begin the real hunt, which is essentially leveling up in the wild.

Besides, there are other dungeons in the canyon, so they are no longer new dungeons and people will die.

Therefore, there is a guardian in the canyon, who not only prevents the monsters in the valley from escaping, but also prevents arrogant young people from trespassing. He is also the one who opens the new dungeon.

The gentlemen from each blessed land stepped forward together to complete the formalities, while the first round of competition ensued.

"Hehehe, it's been a year since we last met. How have you all been?"

"Enough with the nonsense, let's get straight to the point. This year, I have eight top-tier students!"

"Only eight high-grade ones? Who gave you permission to speak so loudly? Aren't two rare ones enough to beat you up?"

"Hiss... Two rare Dao Bodies!?"

It's like the countdown had just ended and the battle had just begun when someone suddenly unleashed a powerful attack, a map-wide attack that silenced the entire audience.

Only Chang Maofu drove by quietly, saying, "I'm not talented, but I have two of the three rare talents."

When he said this, he maintained a gentle and refined demeanor and used a nonchalant tone, but the effect was as explosive as a forbidden spell.

Even the mountain guardian stopped in surprise, and the dungeon passage that had just been opened a crack instantly shrank back.

"What the hell!?"

"Talent? What's talent? Is your talent your family's rice?"

"I'm telling your grandma! Old Chang, something's not right with you. You're going to make a fortune this year!"

Yesterday's drink has left him sober today, but the joy he'd been suppressing for days was finally released. Chang Maofu, his face flushed, couldn't help but laugh out loud, making the other gentlemen grit their teeth in anger, wishing they could beat him up.

"Oh, sir, you're so childish."

Qiao Wanyi sighed and rubbed her forehead, immediately drawing everyone's attention and making them look as if they had seen a ghost.

Who is this childish guy calling childish?

"Sir, you are a man of strong emotions, but you restrain yourself in front of us."

Yang Qingfeng smiled slightly, his mood rising with his husband's laughter.

A glint of shrewdness flashed in Qiao Wanyi's eyes, and she immediately moved closer to Yang Qingfeng: "What does 'a person of character' mean? You can tell, so you are one too?"

Qiao Lie was chatting with someone when he saw this and immediately walked over quickly.

Yang Qingfeng glanced at him and chuckled, "I'm not, your brother is."

Lin Tong appeared suddenly like a ghost, stood aside and said in a deep voice, "No, your brother's behavior isn't temperament, it's stupidity."

"I think you want to die."

Qiao Lie, clutching a ball of crimson flame, approached Lin Tong with a sinister grin.

Lin Tong took off running, and before he left, he turned back and raised an eyebrow at Yang Qingfeng with a smug look.

It's as if to say, "This is all I can do for you, brother, so cherish it."

Yang Qingfeng ignored him completely, but Qiao Wanyi saw it clearly, though she pretended not to see it.

While Lin Tong was distracting Qiao Lie, she turned her head slightly and whispered, "Brother Qingfeng, when we reach level 10, let's go fight Kongwu Peak together. I'll heal you, so we won't have to group up with a lot of people to share experience."

Empty Mist Peak is the lowest level dungeon in the canyon; you can enter as a team at level 10.

Compared to hunting in the wild, dungeons offer higher experience rewards. If you can team up with fewer teammates, you'll naturally get more experience.

Qiao Wanyi meant well and wanted to help him, Yang Qingfeng knew that, but Jian Hun had a different opinion.

Yang Qingfeng said frankly, "I want to try soloing first."
