...

Afternoon.

Only Jiang Ning remained in the courtyard, Xie Xiaojiu had left with the blood he had gathered.

In the courtyard.

Sword light surged like a tide, the sword shadow formed a continuous line in the air.

[Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword Experience Value +7]

As he executed the final move, Jiang Ning pulled back his sword stance, then glanced at the panel.

[Skill]: Seven Elements Demon Suppressing Sword + (Perfection 1000/1000)

Seeing the display on the panel, a smile instantly appeared on his face.

"Finally meeting the requirements to break limits, I wonder what traits will manifest the first time I break limits?"

As the thought flickered in his mind, he glanced over the traits derived from Water and Fire True Strength and Wind and Thunder Steps.

He suddenly felt more assured.

In higher martial arts, the traits derived from the first time breaking limits are generally of green grade.

As the number of times breaking limits increases, the obtained grades will also have certain improvements.

For example, Wind and Thunder Steps even gained a purple grade trait, Shrinking Ground to Inches.

"I hope for a practical trait!" he muttered to himself, his gaze drifting to the Source Energy Points column.

[Source Energy]: 65431

In the next moment.

His mind suddenly surged.

The Source Energy Points, a six-digit number, vibrated once.

[Source Energy]: 65331 (65431→65331)

The Source Energy Points instantly decreased by one hundred points, he closed his eyes, standing with his sword by the lake.

...

A moment later.

Buzz!!

Suddenly, the sound of a sword ringing echoed.

The longsword in Jiang Ning's hand started vibrating crazily, the sword body lightly hummed.

He then opened his eyes, a look of delight on his face.

"I've broken through!" the thought flashed in his mind, he looked at his panel.

[Skill]: Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword (First Limit Breaking 7/2000) (Trait: Sword Heart Clarity (Light Blue))

[Sword Heart Clarity (Light Blue)]: Possesses a clear sword heart, outstanding talent in Sword Dao, heart like a bright mirror.

Sword Heart Clarity?

Looking at the trait derived from the first limit breaking of Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword, Jiang Ning's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

Because he noticed the color of this derived trait was light blue.

"Seems my luck is pretty good!" looking at this trait, he showed a faint smile.

The light blue Sword Heart Clarity not only had good quality.

The key was, it was precisely the trait he needed at the moment, a trait to enhance Sword Dao talent.

In martial arts, having talent and not having talent are two different levels of efficiency.

With outstanding talent, one learns easily and masters quickly.

With mediocre talent, even a lifetime may not grasp it.

Looking at the newly added trait on his panel, he immediately felt a deep sense of appreciation.

The appearance of this trait greatly enhanced his Sword Dao talent.

With another blue-level trait as support, it would be enough to allow him to step into the threshold of a Sword Dao genius.

He then turned his gaze to the trait of Dual Excellence in Sword and Blade.

[Dual Excellence in Sword and Blade (Deep Blue)]: Possesses extraordinary talent in both sword and blade paths.

"With the support of two blue traits, I should be considered a Sword Dao prodigy!!" Jiang Ning thought to himself.

His gaze drifted to the Source Energy Points column again.

[Source Energy]: 65331

Letting Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword break through reduced the Source Energy Points by a full one hundred points.

But the consumption of one point of Source Energy at this point was negligible in his heart.

"Continue!"

"With the enhancement of Sword Heart Clarity, let's see perhaps how much the efficiency of Seven Stars Demon Suppressing Sword Technique Experience Value can be improved!"

The thought flashed through Jiang Ning's mind once more, his sword moves came together.

Sword light interwoven and crisscrossed, forming an impenetrable net.

[Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword Experience Value +11]

Seeing the first prompt that appeared before him, he was instantly delighted.

Compared to just now, the efficiency of experience value acquisition was undoubtedly greatly improved.

Though it hadn't reached a doubling effect, it had increased efficiency by more than fifty percent.

In an instant, he entered a state of utmost focus.

His heart had no distractions, his inner self was as calm as a mirror, truly reaching a state of forgetting both self and objects.

[Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword Experience Value +35]

[Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword Experience Value +67]

[Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword Experience Value +101]

[...]

...

Clouds rolled and scattered, winds changed.

Thunder boomed!

Suddenly a thunderous sound roared in the sky.

Jiang Ning suddenly awoke and returned to his senses.

He then sheathed his sword and stood up, looking towards the sky.

Only to see that at some point the weather had changed, dark clouds gathered, and sunlight was obscured by thick clouds.

"Is this...gonna rain?" a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, he could feel the humid moisture in the air, which drifted down from above.

Obviously, it was about to rain.

"There were no signs before, sudden change in heavenly phenomena, could someone be casting a spell?" another trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Forget it!" Then, he shook his head, unwilling to delve further into the cause.

[Skill]: Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword (First Limit Breaking 1811/2000) (Trait: Sword Heart Clarity (Light Blue))

"Such a pity!" Looking at his panel, Jiang Ning's eyes showed deep regret.

He understood that he had just entered a very special state.

A state rumored in legends.

In Daoist teachings, there is the saying of Chaoche and Zuowang.

While in Buddhism, there is the saying of Mingxin Jianxian, Ti Hu Guanding.

Such sayings have commonalities.

He had just entered this special state, rapidly advancing in his comprehension of the Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword Technique.

If not for that sudden thunderclap, he felt he could have maintained this state for a long while.

If this state persisted just a moment longer, the progress of the Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword could reach perfection at the current stage.

Afterward.

He practiced his sword again, the sword light rolled like a tidal wave.

A moment later.

The heavy rain clattered down, and suddenly the raindrops formed a continuous line.

The entire Dongling City and even the Dongling Mountain Range were shrouded by a curtain of rain.

...

Beside the lake.

The sword light rolled, water vapor rising.

The previously tranquil lake surface was now quite lively, with countless intersecting ripples caused by the pattering rain.

The rain was now very fierce.

Yet Jiang Ning by the lake was untouched by a single drop.

The falling rain was immediately blocked by the sword light, turning into a dispersed mist.

The speed of the sword stance had truly reached the point of not allowing even a drop through.

[Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword Experience Value +11]

[Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword Experience Value +11]

[Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword Experience Value +12]

[...]

Having left that state of sudden enlightenment, Jiang Ning realized that no matter how focused he was, he could barely reach that former state.

But occasionally as his heart spirit scattered, he found that with increased concentration, the efficiency of gaining experience value also grew slightly.

In the blink of an eye.

Two hours passed.

Buzz!

With a flick of the long sword, sword intent surged forth, the rain ahead instantly exploded, turning into dispersing mist.

Jiang Ning moved, passing through the briefly paused rain curtain, and flashed back to the pavilion.

At this moment, the scattered rainwater only then covered that path where mist lingered.

[Skill]: Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword + (First Limit Breaking 2000/2000) (Trait: Sword Heart Clarity (Light Blue))

Jiang Ning's gaze swept over the panel, then showed a faint smile.

"Next, it should be time for a breakthrough!"

Looking at his current panel, he mused silently.

With a thought in his mind.

[Source Energy]: 65131 (65331→65131)

The Source Energy Points rapidly jumped, instantly decreasing by two hundred points.

...

In the courtyard.

The rain formed a sheet, continuously washing away the dust on the ground.

Who knows how long it had passed, Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes.

[Skill]: Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword (Second Limit Breaking 15/3000) (Trait: Sword Heart Clarity (Light Blue) Exorcise Evil (Dark Green))

[Exorcise Evil (Dark Green)]: Sword intent contains vast energy, capable of exorcising evil spirits.

"Vast intention, exorcising evil spirits?" Looking at the description on the panel, his eyes showed contemplation.

Next moment.

He swung his sword.

A sword light burst out, splitting the rain curtain instantly.

"Surely contains an extraordinary aura!" Feeling the aura contained in his sword strike, he nodded immediately.

He could clearly feel that as the sword light sliced through the air, it carried a supremely Yang aura.

"Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword...Exorcise Evil..."

Looking at his panel, he murmured to himself again.

"It seems the traits derived from skill breaking limits have a very close connection with the related skills!"

Then, he closed the panel and resumed practicing his sword.

For the second trait derived from breaking limits of the Seven Star Demon Suppression Sword, he was not disappointed.

The first derived trait being Sword Heart Clarity was already highly satisfactory to him.
