Section 450: All Swords Return to the Sect

His flying sword carried a fierce Sword Intent, and it was destroying the bald creature’s flying swords as if crushing dry weeds and rotten wood.

The number of flying swords belonging to the bald creature became fewer and fewer, and its Sword Control Skill became increasingly difficult.

Finally, on the fifth day, Xu Ran’s dozens of flying swords formed a sharp cone, instantly piercing through the bald creature’s last defensive flying sword, and then went straight through its body.

Sss sss sss!

The bald creature disintegrated.

[Trial completed, number of defeats: 8]

[Reward: All Swords Return to the Sect (Initial Tier)]

A gray light flashed, and the bald creature reappeared.

The ninth trial was a Spell.

The bald creature’s body emitted powerful energy fluctuations.

It formed a Hand Seal with both hands, silently reciting an ancient Spell.

In an instant, various powerful energy attacks, flames, ice spikes, wind blades, and lightning... formed in the space and enveloped it overwhelmingly.

In Xu Ran’s ”consciousness,” the rules emerged: Learn and release the opponent’s Spell, whoever exhausts the other’s energy or defeats them first wins.

Xu Ran’s body also began to form a Hand Seal, starting to imitate the bald creature’s Spell and energy manipulation.

However, his initial Spell releases were crooked and awkward, greatly reducing their power.

The Spell is one of the most direct attack methods for Cultivators, requiring profound understanding and strong control over Heaven and Earth Energy.

The gray mark began to analyze the Spell released by the bald creature. It analyzed the energy composition, the frequency of the Spell, the combination of Hand Seals, and even the method of drawing Heaven and Earth Energy.

...

Xu Ran’s Spell releases became increasingly standard and powerful. The flames he released became hotter, ice spikes sharper, wind blades more rapid, and lightning more violent.

The bald creature’s Spell came in a wide variety and were impressively powerful.

But Xu Ran’s learning speed put it at a disadvantage once again. The Spell it released, Xu Ran could learn in an instant, then counterattack with greater speed and power.

”Is this a fundamental understanding of the Spell?”

”He’s not just memorizing it... he’s directly copying the Law!”

The remnants murmured to themselves.

Learning a Spell usually requires long periods of Hard Cultivation and insight, but this ”vessel” seemed to skip all processes and directly touch the essence of the Spell.

Xu Ran released an increasing variety of Spells, and their power grew stronger. He could even merge multiple Spells together to form even more powerful attacks.

The bald creature’s energy was rapidly depleted, and its Spell no longer posed a threat.

Finally, on the fourth day, Xu Ran’s body simultaneously released dozens of powerful Spells, forming a devastating energy torrent, completely engulfing the bald creature.

Boom!

The bald creature disintegrated.

[Trial completed, number of defeats: 9]

[Reward: Ten Thousand Laws Origin (Initial Tier)]

A gray light flashed, and the bald creature reappeared.

The tenth trial was an Array.

Under the feet of the bald creature, complex light burst forth, forming a powerful Array. This Array could enhance itself, weaken the enemy, and even directly launch an attack.

In Xu Ran’s ”consciousness,” the rules emerged: Within the designated area, whoever can lay down an Array faster and stronger to defeat the opponent wins.

Under Xu Ran’s feet, light also began to shine as he attempted to lay down an Array. But his initial Array glowed weakly, its structure unstable, soon collapsing.

An Array is an important auxiliary method for Cultivators, requiring profound understanding of space, energy, and Runes, along with mastery of complex array tactics.

The gray mark began to analyze the bald creature’s Array. It analyzed the structure of the Array, the combination of Runes, the method of energy flow, and the harmony with space.

...

Xu Ran’s Array became increasingly stable, and the light grew stronger. He was able to instantly lay down various small arrays for offense and defense.

The bald creature’s Array was exceedingly exquisite and ever-changing. It could adjust the Array according to the battle situation, giving Xu Ran a hard time.

But Xu Ran’s learning speed again drove it to despair.

Not only did he learn the bald creature’s Array, but he could lay down the same Array in a shorter time, even slightly enhancing its power.

”Instant Array? How is that possible!”

”Not instant... he’s instantly understanding all nodes and energy flow of the Array, directly manifesting it!”

The remnants exclaimed.

Laying down an Array requires time, the more complex the Array, the more time it takes. Xu Ran’s performance has surpassed regular instant cast, as if he is the Array itself!

Xu Ran set down more and more arrays, and the variety became increasingly rich.

The trapping Array, killing Array, defensive Array, Illusion Array...he could combine them as needed to form a strong array system.

The bald creature’s Array lost effectiveness before Xu Ran. Its Array barely formed before Xu Ran countered or destroyed it with a faster Array.

Finally, on the fifth day, Xu Ran’s body simultaneously laid down dozens of powerful killing arrays, surrounding the bald creature, then instantly activated them.

The roar shook the space!

The bald creature disintegrated.

[Trial completed, number of defeats: 10]

[Reward: Source of Ten Thousand Arrays (Initial Tier)]

A gray light flashed, and the bald creature reappeared.

The eleventh trial was Inscription.

On the surface of the bald creature’s body, densely packed gray Runes began to appear.

These Runes were like living entities, jumping and flickering, emitting powerful waves of Power.
