I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

For a long while, the silvery-white color in Xue Jing's pupils slowly faded away.

He gently exhaled a breath.

"Heaven's Will is like a sabre, unyielding," Xue Jing mused. "This Sword Intent, born from the Asura Blade, intends something far more profound."

Xue Jing observed the flowing silvery-white light on the Crouching Rabbit Sword.

"At present, this Sword Intent is only in its nascent form, not yet perfected, but it feels even more challenging to control than the Asura Blade," he continued.

He recalled being immersed in the artistic conception of the "Heaven's Will Saber," where he felt like the God of the Azure Sky, disdainful of all, indifferent to the myriad beings...

"Compared to the Asura Blade, which plunges one into an uncontrollable fury, the 'Divinity' of Heaven's Will Saber doesn't directly affect one's consciousness, yet it imperceptibly elevates me, making me feel superior to all beings..."

Xue Jing furrowed his brow slightly.

"The pinnacle of Old Martial Arts is fundamentally about the spirit, influencing the physical genes with the spiritual mind; the stronger the spirit, the more potent the body, hence, possessing an invincible heart can unleash an invincible fist..."

"If one has a heart that transcends all beings, naturally, one can wield a Heavenly Sabre that cuts through everything... But is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

"Would I still be myself then?"

Xue Jing couldn't help but ponder.

He then glanced at the [Meditative Visualization Lv6] on the panel, and his brow relaxed.

"Trust Ban; even if the Heaven's Will Saber attains perfection in the future, the level of [Meditative Visualization] will keep increasing, surely locking in my self, anchoring my original intent," he reassured.

Xue Jing settled down, twirled the Crouching Rabbit Sword in his hand, and said to himself:

"The Asura Blade has evolved into the Heaven's Will Saber, but at present, it still only possesses Sword Intent and lacks the matching techniques to truly unleash its power."

"However, the Hidden Dragon School's techniques are versatile enough to be used in combination."

He switched to holding the Crouching Rabbit with both hands, his eyes turned silvery white, his expression became indifferent.

He then activated Twin Lifes Defense, stimulated his Power, and the Dragon's Chant began.

Both arms began to show spiral depressions simultaneously.

He turned his head towards a small lake not far from the grassy area.

"Heavenly Sabre, Whirlwind Thunder!"

...

Pei Youguang stood by the lake, holding several flat stones, listlessly skipping stones across the water.

"Shoo—"

Though a martial artist, he threw with enough Power that the stone skidded across the water several dozen times, a rather skilled technique.

"Nice! A new record!"

He was invigorated, ready to continue.

"Youguang, stop playing, come help!"

Pei Tiancheng's call came from not far, and Pei Youguang could only scratch his head and replied "Yes."

The brothers were invited today by Ye Chenglin and a group of friends to North City Back Mountain for a barbecue party.

According to big brother Pei Tiancheng, the Ye family had been facing tough times recently... His father, a Governing Councilor, was heavily criticized, and with the "Great Council" soon to convene, it seemed unlikely he would retain his council seat.

Thus, they invited these younger generation friends today to strengthen ties, hoping for a remedy...

Pei Youguang didn't quite understand these matters, thankfully, he didn't need to.

Currently, his only task was to maintain a good relationship with Jing... or at least keep it as it was.

It was his father, who usually paid him no heed, who personally asked this of him...

Lately, his relationship with his father had improved quite a bit, even tentatively inviting him to live at home...

He understood that all this was because he had started having 'value' to the family.

Although it felt a bit peculiar to him that his value wasn't in himself but in his relationship with Jing...

"Let Second Young Master Pei play, it's just a barbecue, I can handle it,"

A girl assembling the grill said with a smile.

Another girl teased her, "Eh? You're so gentle towards Second Young Master Pei, do you have some thoughts?"

"We're all friends who've been through life and death, and there's that 'suspension bridge effect,' right? It's not strange to have feelings. Although Pei is a bit young, he's a good kid, and I support this!"

"Speaking of which, why didn't they invite that Xue this time?"

"Only Second Young Master Pei has Xue's contact, but he mentioned that Xue is busy with Martial Arts Practice, and it's not good to disturb..."

"I really want to see him again... I haven't properly thanked him before, sigh."

Pei Youguang, listening to the conversation, pursed his lips and threw one last stone towards the lake.

"Boom!!"

Suddenly, a sound like thunder exploded, startling everyone.

"Eh? Is it going to rain? That can't be, the weather forecast said it was going to be clear today."

"There are no rain clouds in the sky, either?"

Confused, everyone looked towards the direction of the sound.

At that moment, a silvery-white spiral dazzle rampaged across the lake.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"

Where it passed, the lake water reversed, adhering to it, and soon, a horizontal water tornado formed, roaring across the lake.

"Holy crap, what is that? A dragon sucking water?"

"Since when do dragons suck water horizontally?"

Everyone was dumbstruck.

And Pei Youguang, he just gaped at the hand he had just used to throw the skipping stone...

"Huh? Did I do that?"

...

Xue Jing looked at the land that had been plowed over and the agitated lake water, nodded in satisfaction at the power of the stroke.

"This strike has a touch of fantasy to it now..."

The union of Heaven's Will Saber with the Hidden Dragon School's Whirlwind Thunder technique had indeed produced an effect similar to 'Saber Qi.'

"What's this? Vacuum Slash? That's hardly scientific."
