Time flies in the world within the whetstone.
Jiang Wuyuan had no idea how long he had been there.
Maybe a month, maybe a year, or maybe many years.
Buzz—
Finally, a clear sword cry suddenly erupted from Jiang Wuyuan.
In the sword tomb, countless swords stuck in the ground trembled at the same time, as if excited or celebrating.
Jiang Wuyuan suddenly opened his eyes.
His long, dark hair moved without wind, and his eyes shone with golden light.
During this time, the sword intent of his seniors helped him a lot.
Today's breakthrough is a natural outcome.
Sword Intent - Minor Success!
boom--
The intense sword intent soaring into the sky seemed to tear the heavens apart; its calm and restrained nature concealed an extreme sharpness.
Just like Jiang Wuyuan.
As his aura gradually subsided, Jiang Wuyuan stood up and bowed to the Sword Tomb once more.
After spending so much time together, these unclaimed sword intents seemed to have acknowledged his existence and would no longer harm him.
He also sincerely thanked these seniors who helped him.
Without lingering any longer, Jiang Wuyuan withdrew from the whetstone's space with a thought.
——
"Phew..." Finding himself back in the training room, Jiang Wuyuan slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, adjusting to his new body.
They exist as spirits within the whetstone, so returning to it suddenly feels somewhat unsettling.
I checked the time on the bracelet and found that only three days had passed.
It seems that the flow of time within the whetstone is not the same as that outside, which is quite similar to the Hidden Spirit Space.
Having become more reserved and composed due to his breakthrough in mindset, Jiang Wuyuan opened his bracelet and checked the messages that others had sent him recently.
First, there's Huo Ling; that kid went completely silent once he went into seclusion.
Jiang Wuyuan stared at the empty chat box, paused for a moment, and then sent him a message to express his concern.
Next up is Huo Qianshan.
Because of what Huo Ling had mentioned to him before, he sent a message to Huo Qianshan to inquire about his situation. Huo Qianshan said he was fine and told him to focus on his cultivation, and also to keep an eye on that kid Huo Ling.
Jiang Wuyuan naturally agreed.
Finally, there is Ruan Kongyin.
As the leader of the hunting party, he spends a significant amount of time leading his members on missions.
That day, Jiang Wuyuan and Ruan Kongyin parted ways at a fork in the road, and Ruan Kongyin went to the mission pavilion to accept a mission.
Now that we've seen news about Ruan Kongyin, she's probably already returned from the abyss.
Thinking about the less than 10,000 credits left on his student card, Jiang Wuyuan felt he urgently needed to complete a few tasks to make up for the expenses he had incurred during this period.
Especially—he can barely afford to go to the Blood Burning Tower for seclusion anymore!
Jiang Wuyuan sent a message to Ruan Kongyin asking if there were any missions he needed to go on recently. He left the dormitory, ate a hearty meal at the cafeteria, and then headed straight for the Battle Tower.
Although missions are also a source of academic credits, the income from the Battle Tower is significantly higher than that from the Mission Pavilion.
Jiang Wuyuan thought to himself, having earned 160,000 credits on his first attempt at the tower.
——
The smiling man was still sitting on the recliner at the entrance of the Battle Tower.
Jiang Wuyuan nodded to him, which was considered a greeting.
Shen Canghai waved his hand, signaling for him to get lost.
Jiang Wuyuan then stopped bothering them and went directly into the Battle Tower.
A flash of white light appeared before his eyes, and Jiang Wuyuan arrived at the second floor of the Battle Tower.
"Welcome, challenger. You are about to face your second test. Are you ready?"
A familiar voice rang out, and Jiang Wuyuan nodded: "Ready."
"The second test - climbing the ladder."
Accompanied by the sound, nine layers of white jade steps suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Wuyuan.
There are nine steps, each half a meter high. After climbing to the top, you can directly reach the third floor.
"start."
Without hesitation, Jiang Wuyuan stepped onto the first step.
boom--
An immense pressure poured down, but this was not enough to stop Jiang Wuyuan.
Using the Qiankun Technique to suppress the boiling blood and qi within his body, Jiang Wuyuan once again stepped onto the second level.
It was different from what I had imagined.
The moment he stepped onto the second floor, it felt as if he had entered another dimension.
Instead of nine flights of stairs, what lies before me is—
A dining table.
Jiang Wuyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and before he could react, a gentle female voice suddenly came from behind him: "Xiaoyuan is back, come sit down and eat! I just made braised rabbit, it's delicious."
Jiang Wuyuan paused slightly as he drew his sword, then turned his head to look at the figure that was gradually fading from his memory.
She is his mother.
The woman's face beamed with happiness as she brought out a pot of fragrant rabbit meat from the kitchen and placed it on the table. "I'll go call your dad. Quick, go wash your hands first."
Jiang Wuyuan stared intently at her figure, and upon hearing this, he gave a blank reply.
The woman was pleased with Jiang Wuyuan's response. She took off her apron, tossed it on the chair, and walked towards the study, saying, "Honey! Come out for dinner!"
"Don't shout, don't shout, I know." Just then, a tall and strong man walked out of the study and appeared calmly in Jiang Wuyuan's eyes.
The two people who sheltered him from the wind and rain in his memory appeared in front of him again.
So vibrant, so beautiful.
Jiang Wuyuan once thought that he would never forget his parents.
However, as time went by, he grew up and had many things to consider every day, constantly striving to improve his abilities.
He simply didn't have time to dwell on the past.
