"A Genius in some sense. No, he is a Genius now."
Kong Mingan evaluated in his heart.
From the transformation of Ji Juechen's Spirit from an unremarkable ordinary longsword to its current black longsword, which has already reached the AdvancedSpirit level,
his grandfather had obviously figured out a method to fuse Spirit Metal with Tool Spirit, thereby improving the quality of the Tool Spirit.
And if Ji Juechen were to further slightly improve his Physique with the "Blue Silver · Immortal Herb" series, he would have no more Bottlenecks, at least until he reached Super Douluo, if not Limit Douluo.
Possessing such pure "Sword Intent" and having resolved his InnateAptitude issues, Ji Juechen's future is bound to be immeasurable.
However, what Kong Mingan was most interested in at this moment was his "Sword Intent" and the specific details of the Spirit evolution technique.
Kong Mingan was observing when, at a certain moment, Ji Juechen suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing like a sword.
The next moment, he stood up, his right hand firmly gripping the black longsword on his lap.
And just as he rose, the extremely restrained Aura around him suddenly changed, transforming into a sharp, pure Sword Intent that rippled outwards.
At the same time, six optimally matched spirit rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black—rose from beneath his feet.
The black longsword in his hand seemed to be infused with a Soul; the sword body hummed, its color shifting from a deep, pitch black to a pure, flawless snowy white, with an inner radiance.
Immediately after, the six encircling spirit rings did not continue to float beside Ji Juechen but rapidly shrank, transforming into six streams of light that were successively embedded like brands onto the spine of the snowy white longsword.
With each spirit ring embedded, the sharp Qi emanating from the longsword surged.
And when all six rings were in place, the sword seemed to come alive; a terrifying sword pressure permeated the area, subtly distorting the surrounding Energy environment, and even Ji Juechen's figure gradually blurred under the distortion of the sword pressure.
Undoubtedly, this was the Ring Embedding Method.
This was something he had directly requested from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School after the cooperation with them was confirmed.
In addition, there were also some ancient texts treasured by the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School for thousands of years, as well as various methods they had explored for Spirit evolution.
Of course, he hadn't meticulously reviewed these materials; he had simply had them uploaded to the "Spiritual Pivot" database as reference materials to enrich the database and make them readily available.
As long as one had sufficient authority within the "Spiritual Pivot," these materials could be freely accessed.
However, he hadn't expected to see it here, and Ji Juechen seemed to have even made some personal modifications to it?
Kong Mingan's interest was piqued; without hesitation, he took a step, and spatial ripples engulfed him.
Then, in the next moment, his figure appeared directly within the testing ground, standing not far from Ji Juechen, whose Aura had reached its Peak.
The experimental personnel nearby were startled by the sudden intrusion; some instinctively moved to press the alarm to call for guards, but upon seeing that the newcomer was Kong Mingan, they all stopped their actions.
Kong Mingan looked at Ji Juechen, whose eyes were like drawn swords, and extended his hand in invitation:
"Come."
Ji Juechen frowned slightly, seemingly puzzled.
But the next moment, his pupils contracted sharply.
Beside Kong Mingan, five spirit rings—silver-white, silver-white, blood-red, blood-red, and dark-red gold-patterned—appeared in sequence.
A terrifying Aura, vast as an abyss and completely unlike that of a Spirit King, descended with a roar, instantly filling the entire testing ground.
Ji Juechen's gaze paused slightly, but the next moment, an unprecedented excitement bloomed within him.
His Sword Intent, already condensed to its extreme, surged wildly again with the fluctuation of his emotions at this moment, reaching another Peak!
The enhancement of Sword Intent on strength, to some extent, depends on the user's state of mind.
In short, it is "idealism."
For Ji Juechen, who had always desperately sought powerful opponents to test his sword, Kong Mingan's appearance was nothing short of a pleasant surprise.
And it was this emotion that caused his "Sword Intent" at this moment to ascend to its most Peak state in his entire history!
There were no superfluous words, nor complex Moves.
At a certain critical point, Ji Juechen moved.
Or rather,
the sword in his hand moved.
"Buzz—!"
A clear, melodious, yet tearing sword cry, filled with the will to sever all, suddenly rang out!
All restraint transformed into the most extreme burst in this instant!
Vast power was compressed to the tip of the sword, creating a tangible storm as it cut through the air, then explosively detonating within this small testing ground, isolated by an Energy barrier!
Chaotic Energy currents raged wildly, and dazzling light engulfed everyone's vision.
Xu Tianzhen had also arrived at the observation deck at some unknown point, unconsciously gripping the railing, her deep purple eyes unblinking, staring at the arena with a hint of tension.
A moment later, the turbulent Energy and light gradually dissipated, and the situation in the arena became clear.
Two figures still stood opposite each other.
Ji Juechen's sword-wielding hand hung naturally, trembling slightly, and fine beads of sweat seeped from his temples.
The snowy white longsword in his hand had also reverted to its original black appearance, and the six spirit rings embedded in the sword body naturally detached, their light dim.
Kong Mingan still stood in place, raising his hand and looking at the sharp spirit power that remained in his palm from the previous strike; after a careful look, he clenched his hand, allowing that spirit power to completely dissipate.
Raising his head, Kong Mingan looked at Ji Juechen and introduced himself:
"Kong Mingan."
Ji Juechen's body stiffened; he took a deep breath to suppress his body's fatigue, then likewise introduced himself:
"Ji Juechen."
With this, the two could be considered officially acquainted.
Ji Juechen paused, his eyes fixed on Kong Mingan, the Battle Intent within them not diminishing in the slightest, but growing even more fervent:
"Another round later?"
He truly is a Sword Cultivator.
Kong Mingan chuckled inwardly, then shook his head.
"Wait a little longer; recover your spirit power first."
He could tell that the previous sword strike had almost drained most of Ji Juechen's spirit power.
Ji Juechen nodded, not forcing himself, and immediately sat down cross-legged, beginning to meditate and recover.
Kong Mingan thought for a moment, then took out several herbs emitting strange Energy fluctuations from his storage spirit tool—they were precisely "Blue Silver · Autumn Water Dew" and "Blue Silver · Splendorous Golden Orchid."
He then handed the herbs to Ji Juechen.
Ji Juechen looked up, slightly puzzled.
Kong Mingan said calmly: "Eat them. They can make you stronger. You are not strong enough yet."
Ji Juechen silently looked at the Blue Silver · Immortal Herb, which were clearly extraordinary; after a brief hesitation, he took the herbs and directly put them into his mouth, beginning to silently refine them.
Kong Mingan nodded slightly, beginning to anticipate what level Ji Juechen's "Sword Intent" would reach after his strength increased again.
Just then, a steady voice, filled with a contented smile, sounded from behind him:
"How was it?"
