Chapter 105: Sword Intents Part 1
On the First Floor of Immemorial Paragon Tower;
"I don’t understand. Why did you try to discourage him? Isn’t it normal to awaken the Sword Intent at any realm?"
Jenny gave Xue a confused look and asked. This was the reason why she felt anxious.
Sword Cultivation thrived with the combination of other cultivations, but it could also improve on its own.
Sword Intent didn’t require Tyler to open his sea of consciousness, just like how it didn’t require him to reach the Treasured Body Realm to use Sword Control.
"That’s only for the God Realm. This is a Lower Realm. Don’t forget about the conflicting ideas of Blood Sword Scripture and Eternal Spring Sword Scripture."
Xue answered with a cold tone.
"He is not an idiot. Doesn’t he know which one to trust more?"
Jenny sneered.
Xue nodded.
"I don’t deny that. So, that’s not the reason why I tried to discourage him. It was to test his intentions."
"Intention?"
"Upon learning about the tower, he has a strange confidence in himself, a confidence that he will not die."
"This kind of confidence is deadly. As his teacher, I can’t let him walk on this path. So, I wanted to test his intention."
Jenny asked.
"So, did his answer satisfy you? Oh wait, you are not fuming in anger. Why am I even asking such a stupid question?"
"I am angry."
"Huh?"
"His mentality hasn’t changed. Of course, he is smart enough to understand his situation, and his reasoning is also good."
"But that mentality hasn’t changed. In fact, this only makes things bad. Because if something happens to people around him, he will start taking bigger risks."
"How big are you thinking?"
Jenny narrowed her eyes and asked.
"Fighting a Sage with the strength of a Grandmaster!"
When Jenny heard that, she froze.
The Sage and Grandmaster had a gap that couldn’t be filled no matter what kind of weapon the Grandmaster held.
In other words, the Grandmaster would die if he faced the Sage. After all, Sages could only be dealt with by other Sages or above.
Thinking about it, she felt glad that Tyler wasn’t some idiot. Then again, if he was an idiot, he wouldn’t have realized that kind of truth.
Yes, Truth!
She considered it a truth because the tower genuinely disliked Tyler. That’s why it allowed her to release that small portion of her power.
Its intention wasn’t to help Tyler but to use her powers to retaliate against Tyler.
But the moment Tyler used that Soul Explosion Technique, the tower realized the truth.
It didn’t know if Tyler could be resurrected using the Time Technique, but it knew for sure that it was going to be destroyed
That’s why, despite seeing Tyler’s previous attitude, Jenny no longer held any grudges against him.
Especially after tasting the benefits.
Even now, she was only using a clone to keep an eye on Tyler.
After all, if Xue made a move, she could essentially destroy the tower, which would harm Tyler.
Thinking about that, Jenny enviously glanced at Xue.
She had to rely on dual cultivation to surpass her current strength, while Xue managed to do that just by listening to Tyler.
Although she understood it had a lot to do with Xue herself rather than Tyler, his words did act like a fuse.
Without his words, it might have taken her a powerful enlightenment.
After all, the original ideas wouldn’t come from nowhere. Those who did produce original ideas were all geniuses.
To say Jenny hated dual cultivation would be a wrong statement. She hated dual cultivation with a man she didn’t even acknowledge.
More importantly, she also had to share this man with other women. With her pride and experience, these restrictions turned into hatred.
Jenny seriously hated Tyler until she tasted the benefits of dual cultivation. But in her mind, it didn’t have to be Tyler.
It could’ve been anyone as long as it was the user of the Harmony of Nine Phoenixes Technique.
She looked at Xue’s face and sneered.
"It seems like you have also accepted your fate of being his dual cultivation partner."
Xue didn’t care about her remark, but she did explain.
"I only accepted him as a student. Unless I get stuck in the future, I will not consider dual cultivation."
Hearing that, Jenny sneered.
"I heard your previous conversation. You are already planning on having a baby with him. You think you can fool me?"
Xue gave her a glance and said.
"I never said I didn’t want to have sex with him. After the moment he helped me improve, he stole my heart."
Jenny froze upon hearing that. Only then did she remember Xue was a swordsman, a complete and true swordsman.
She focused on swordsmanship and nothing else.
Her inability to improve her swordsmanship became her inner demon.
In a normal beauty-and-a-hero story, a hero saves beauty from danger and wins her heart.
But in this case, Tyler helped her improve and won her heart.
"Tsk!"
Jenny wanted to make a snarky remark, but a word wouldn’t come out of her mouth.
The corner of Xue’s lips rose as she turned her attention towards Tyler’s battle.
At this moment, Tyler was covered in blood, but his eyes were sharper than before.
His sword energy was more refined, and his movements were smoother.
Every time the opponent released a water dragon, Tyler could deflect it and parry it until the water dragon lost all of its energy.
During this battle, Tyler realized something.
While the water dragon was powerful, it was made out of True Mana. Without proper control, it would easily collapse.
And since the priest wasn’t a true Grandmaster, his control over the True Mana was severely lacking.
It could cause a lot of destruction, but it couldn’t last long.
That’s why Tyler, despite being covered in blood, could fight the water dragon.
His movements had reached such a grace that every movement he made with the sword parried the water dragon.
’I can feel it.’
Tyler thought to himself while blocking the water dragon.
’It’s coming out.’
He started concentrating his mind into something else, a power that resided inside his mind.
But there was something surprising about his mind.
There wasn’t just a single ball of energy. There were two.
One was a silver ball while the other was a red ball.
The existence of the red ball surprised Xue. She never thought Tyler would be able to create this.
But she forgot something.
Visualization!
Tyler genuinely believed that if he lost the people around him, he would turn into a madman.
He genuinely believed this because in this world, Elena and Alfred were the only people who gave him a genuine sense of belonging.
After all, Tyler wasn’t a normal kid.
He was an adult soul born in a cultivation world where death was the most common thing.
Because he feared death so much, he also understood that with his current capabilities, a thought could turn him from a normal person into a demon.
Combined with the fact that he killed over eight hundred people in less than five minutes, his body absorbed all of the resentment from the surroundings.
Blood Sword Intent was born out of a person’s willingness to kill the opponent and the resentment of the opponent.
These two were the ingredients.
Tyler didn’t lack the resentment since this city was full of that.
He also didn’t lack the willingness to kill since he could visualize his future after the death of Elena and Alfred.
This was a burden of being a modern-transmigrator.
If it was a past-transmigrator, they wouldn’t know much about the classic trend of the world.
For example, in the cultivation world, it was normal for an old man to be a powerful cultivator; it was normal for the protagonist to have powerful parents; it was also normal for people to call parents if they couldn’t win.
One of the trends that Tyler hated the most was losing his family members to promote the protagonist’s growth.
From the story perspective, that was normal. But if he were the protagonist, he didn’t want that to happen.
He would rather have everything remain the same than go through such a tragic growth.
That’s why Tyler could imagine himself turning into a demon if he lost Elena and Alfred.
That’s why he also fulfilled both conditions to awaken the Pseudo Blood Sword Intent.
And, at this moment, both were about to be born out of his sea of consciousness.
’I can feel it. Come on! Come on!’
Tyler gritted his teeth, his sword barely blocking the two massive water dragons coming from both sides.
Splash! Splash!
Both water dragons managed to push his arm back, forcefully grazing him from both sides.
The blood flowed like a river, but Tyler didn’t collapse, nor did he panic because he could feel it.
Tyler closed his eyes. Two dragons moved back towards him, but he didn’t move his eyes.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
