For several days, Chu Nan has been comprehending the Cyan Mountain Dawn Sword and the Ten Directions Soul-Shocking Sword.

The Cyan Mountain Dawn Sword can allow Chu Nan to comprehend pure Sword Intent!

With Kui Guang's assistance, Chu Nan gradually explored some techniques, but fully comprehending them still requires some time.

To comprehend Sword Intent, Chu Nan needs a deeper understanding of Sword Skills so that he can perceive pure Sword Intent from various Sword Skills.

The difficulty of cultivating the Ten Directions Soul-Shocking Sword is no less than comprehending pure Sword Intent.

The Expanding Spirit Liquid has transformed Chu Nan's soul to an Extraordinary level, allowing him to surpass most Martial Artists.

The strength of a soul is also graded: Mortal, Extraordinary, Saintly Beginning, Saint.

Only a soul at the Divine Illumination Realm can cross into the Extraordinary level and practice soul-related Martial Skills.

Although Chu Nan's soul is comparable to the Divine Illumination Realm, cultivating the Ten Directions Soul-Shocking Sword remains challenging, as it requires the soul to constantly strengthen and Chu Nan's mastery over his own Power of Spiritual Sense to become proficient.

However, Chu Nan has a method for Soul Cultivation, the Wave-Turning Soul Forging Technique, and with the aid of the Spiritual Wave Drum, his soul improves slightly each day.

Yet this is still a drop in the bucket when it comes to comprehending the release of the Soul-Shocking Sword.

To motivate Chu Nan to grasp the Ten Directions Soul-Shocking Sword, Kui Guang directly made him wear the Broken Divine Armor.

This armor is crafted from a large amount of precious materials, making it extremely sturdy and heavy.

Wearing it, Chu Nan feels like a big tortoise, with the 8,100-pound weight of the Broken Divine Armor making his body cumbersome; it took him two full days to adjust, but it's hard to fully utilize his strength.

In addition, Kui Guang has placed restrictions on it, and Chu Nan can only succeed by completing the first stage of the Soul-Shaking practice of the Ten Directions Soul-Shocking Sword.

But mastering the technique to attack others' souls using Spiritual Sense is much more difficult than controlling Spiritual Power.

Chu Nan feels it will be a long time before he can take off this Broken Divine Armor.

Fortunately, although the Broken Divine Armor is heavy, it fits closely to his body, so once he wears clothes over it, it's impossible to tell with the naked eye that he is still wearing armor.

Otherwise, Chu Nan would really look like a tortoise.

Chu Nan repeatedly gathers his Spiritual Sense and stabs it into the void.

If he can focus his Spiritual Stones into a single point and form it into a complete sword shape, it would count as a successful first stage of cultivation.

But this step is extremely difficult; every attempt only results in clumping his Spiritual Sense rather than forming it into a sword shape, which is still far off.

If successful, Chu Nan would become a sword in both hand and heart, going into battle to kill with no defense possible for opponents.

With an Extraordinary soul comparable to a Divine Light Realm Martial Artist, Chu Nan could be unstoppable!

In the blink of an eye, a few more days passed, and Chu Nan made some progress in his comprehension of the Unity of Heaven and Man in the Cyan Mountain Dawn Sword and his cultivation of the Ten Directions Soul-Shocking Sword.

But time waits for no one, and with the Qingxuan competition approaching near, he knew it was time to set off.

Packing everything needed, including the Spiritual Wave Drum, Flowing Light Golden Crow Vehicle, and Curse Killing Blood Vase, these are essential for Chu Nan now.

Upon arriving at the Cyan Profound State Capital, the Martial Artists there are even more formidable than those in Cyan Mountain County, and he must prepare sufficiently to deal with any unexpected occurrences.

Once everything was ready, Chu Nan took heavy steps toward the mountain gate of the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect.

No way around it, the 8,100-pound Broken Divine Armor is just too heavy, and every step requires a great deal of effort, leaving a deep footprint with each step.

Every few hundred meters, he would need to stop and rest; to completely mobilize the Broken Divine Armor, Chu Nan still needs much practice.

Fortunately, although walking is slow, at least the Broken Divine Armor isn't as conspicuous as a turtle shell.

But Chu Nan did not resent any of this; he knew such restraint was honing his Cultivation.

Recently, he'd advanced too quickly and needed external help to settle, which would allow Chu Nan to better master his power.

After wearing the Broken Divine Armor for several days, Chu Nan had clearly begun to find a greater ease in controlling his Cultivation. Even if he could one day remove the Broken Divine Armor, his strength would be considerably heightened even without an advancement in realms!

In front of the mountain gate of the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect, the Qingxuan competition, as an event of universal focus within the sect, had all the disciples and elders already standing orderly in two rows to greet the disciples heading to the Cyan Profound State Capital.

Jiang Yixing and Zheng Yao had set off early, earning countless looks of envy and admiration.

With the arrival of Chu Nan, it stirred waves of excitement, and some female disciples could not help their blushes and racing hearts upon seeing him.

The fact is, not long ago, Chu Nan had publicly defeated an Imperial Capital Yang Wheel Martial Artist, greatly elevating the reputation of the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect.

After all, looking across the entire Qingxuan Province, no sect could boast of defeating an Imperial Capital Yang Wheel Martial Artist using a Spirit Pill!

There was none at all; this was unique, belonging to Chu Nan and the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect as an honor.

Chu Nan walked slowly along the main road, masking gratitude with a smile under the numerous admiring gazes, occasionally stopping to wave at the gathered crowd, showing no sign of disdain due to his own power, instead displaying great kindness.

This earned even more admiration from the disciples; achieving such feats without arrogance, it was truly a boon for the sect to have such a leader!

Yet what they did not know was that Chu Nan's slow pace was entirely due to the heavy Broken Divine Armor, compelling him to walk slowly.

The stops to wave and acknowledge were also needed breaks for his exhausting body, with the waving merely a guise to mask his fatigue.

Nonetheless, Chu Nan bore no trace of contempt toward the fellow sect members who held him in reverence; he would stop to chat even without the Broken Divine Armor, though not as frequently as now.

A distance taking only a few breaths traversed felt he'd consumed the span of an incense stick, before joining Jiang Yixing and Zheng Yao.

Jiang Yixing nodded slightly on seeing Chu Nan, then commented, "Even after achieving such feats, you can humble yourself. I am lesser than you."

Jiang Yixing always held a sense of pride, often disdainful towards lesser talents. Seeing Chu Nan act as he did today was surprising and made him feel somewhat ashamed.

If someone more talented than himself could put aside his pride, how could he justify his own arrogance?

"Brother Jiang, you're too kind; you embarrass me." Chu Nan said with a smile.

Just then, Zheng Yao also initiated conversation with Chu Nan, "Junior Brother Chu, once we reach the Cyan Profound State Capital, the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect will rely on you for fame. You mustn't let your senior be disappointed then."

To this, Chu Nan replied with utmost confidence, "Senior Sister, rest assured. This time we will certainly secure a place in the top three, strive for second, and aim for first; we must spread the fame of our Cyan Mountain Sword Sect!"

Seeing Chu Nan's confident demeanor, Zheng Yao couldn't help but blush. She, too, had once been saved by Chu Nan, and his displayed prowess back then had left her deeply impressed.

Most importantly, the scene where Chu Nan stood unafraid of Imperial Capital Martial Artists for Gu Nianxue profoundly moved her, making her somewhat envious, wishing it had been her instead of Gu Nianxue.

A man willing to risk his life for you, which woman wouldn't be moved?
