Ten Paths of the Devil Sword

After several exchanges, -1 damage numbers kept appearing above Mu Jiuge's head, turning his face pale.

He could not believe that the swordsmanship he had always been so proud of was as feeble as a child waving a sword before this man.

"Die!" At the final moment, Mu Jiuge could no longer hold on. He reached out and unleashed the Berserker skill, Earth Shattering Slash.

A fiery red blade materialized, sweeping along the ground in a crescent arc toward Proud Sword.

At the sight of this, Proud Sword's pupils contracted sharply. He swiftly darted aside, narrowly evading the blow.

"Lu Wu, one of the inheritances in the Spirit Summoning Hall has fluctuated!" Bei Li, who had been eating, suddenly said with a grave expression.

"Hm?" Lu Wu raised his head and looked at Bei Li in confusion.

"Come on, let's take a look!" With that, Bei Li's consciousness entered the divine artifact. Seeing this, Lu Wu also sent his divine sense into it.

The battle between Mu Jiuge and Proud Sword continued. Once Mu Jiuge realized that he was no match for Proud Sword, he finally could not resist using his skills. His pride would not allow him to lose.

Yet what he had not expected was that Proud Sword's sword moved with his body. Even while dodging skills, he could still strike with his sword at crucial moments.

Faced with such a terrifying opponent, Mu Jiuge found the fight increasingly difficult. Seeing his health nearly depleted, he began to panic, and his swordsmanship fell into complete disorder.

Proud Sword, however, remained cold and stern. The longsword in his hand moved as naturally as an arm, continuously slashing across Mu Jiuge's body.

Ding! You have killed Player: Mu Jiuge

When the notification appeared, Mu Jiuge's face was filled with unwillingness. He slowly collapsed to the ground, then turned into black smoke and dispersed.

Proud Sword was also somewhat shocked. During the duel, he had discovered that Mu Jiuge's swordsmanship was utterly ordinary, even too awful to look at in his eyes. He did not resemble a swordsmanship expert at all.

He had initially been deeply disappointed, but when Mu Jiuge used his skills afterward, he was stunned.

He could clearly sense that the surrounding energy had been stirred when Mu Jiuge unleashed his skills, which he found somewhat unbelievable.

Someone with such terrible swordsmanship could actually stir the energy of heaven and earth while swinging a sword. In his view, that should have been impossible, yet it had truly happened.

Just as Proud Sword was puzzled by this, a notification appeared. Then he felt a majestic force descend upon his head.

All-Region Announcement: Congratulations to Player Proud Sword for comprehending Sword Heart and obtaining the hidden class: Ten Paths of the Devil Sword

Lu Wu and Bei Li were both greatly surprised by what they saw.

Under Bei Li's settings, some hidden classes within the Spirit Summoning Hall required special conditions to trigger.

Because these Hall of Heroes spirits still retained fragments of consciousness, Bei Li's settings allowed them to choose their inheritors independently.

Moreover, since the Hall of Heroes had truly been built within the Divine Artifact Space, the heroic spirits could fully perceive the Players. Yet this was the first time a heroic spirit had resonated with a Player and triggered the divine artifact's settings, directly activating an inheritance.

"What kind of power is this?!"

Proud Sword's face was filled with shock. He could clearly feel a supreme power of the sword circling above his head.

Feeling that overwhelmingly tyrannical power, Proud Sword's lips trembled, and his face was filled with fascination.

This was a power he had never possessed, yet the ultimate sword path he had pursued all his life.

Proud Sword slowly extended his hand, wanting to touch the power above him. At that moment, the power suddenly poured into his body.

At the same time, the divine artifact activated, datafying all the sword path inheritances.

Then, a figure slowly appeared before Proud Sword—an elderly man carrying nine spirit swords on his back.

Then the class panel for Ten Paths of the Devil Sword appeared.

Ten Paths of the Devil Sword:

Class Background: To avenge his father's murder, Sword Sorrow devoted himself to comprehending the sword. Yet limited by his talent, he repeatedly came close to death, while his enemy's swordsmanship grew ever stronger. The progress of his own swordsmanship simply could not keep pace with his enemy's improvement. In such desperate circumstances, Sword Sorrow secluded himself for thirty years to comprehend the sword, swearing never to leave the mountain until he had comprehended a peerless sword path.

Thirty years later, Sword Sorrow emerged from the Cliffs of Desperation with nine swords on his back and killed the enemy of his former grudge in a single exchange.

Sword Sorrow's Words: If talent is not enough, make up for it with swords. If one is not enough, then use two. If two are not enough, then use three. I comprehended the sword for thirty years and created Ten Paths of the Sword. This tenth sword is myself!

Class Description: Carry nine spirit swords, which can grow alongside your level. Comprehend the deepest sword path; slash heaven, slash earth, slash enemies!

Class Weapon: Special class, cannot equip weapons

Class Growth: No attribute bonuses, and cannot learn any Berserker skills

"Ten Paths of the Devil Sword... Ten Paths of the Devil Sword!" Proud Sword stared blankly and muttered to himself.

"No, where did that power go?! Where did it go?! Come out!"

Feeling that the power had vanished after entering his body, Proud Sword roared unwillingly.

Then he suddenly turned to look behind him, only to discover nine spirit swords of different colors floating behind his back.

"Grow alongside my level..." Proud Sword glanced at the class panel again and immediately realized something. He turned and ran out of the underworld.

Watching Proud Sword sprint away, Lu Wu and Bei Li looked at each other, unable to believe that this inheritance had been obtained by a level 0 Player.

What the two of them did not know was that because the inheritance had been datafied, Proud Sword had nearly thought that this supreme inheritance had disappeared.

After realizing that only leveling up would allow him to continue drawing out the power of the ten demonic swords, Proud Sword began his journey of leveling, hunting monsters, and comprehending the sword.

After experiencing Sword Sorrow's Ten Paths of the Devil Sword, Proud Sword felt that his chance for revenge had come. That was the true supreme sword path. He believed that as long as he comprehended Sword Sorrow's sword path power, Ruthless would definitely be no match for him!

Moreover, Sword Sorrow's sword path had been created for revenge, and his enemy had likewise possessed talent far surpassing his own. How similar that experience was to Proud Sword's.

Just as Sword Sorrow had said, if the enemy's talent far surpassed one's own, then use two swords, three swords. Sword Sorrow's sword path was exactly what he had been seeking.

Perhaps Proud Sword himself did not know that it was precisely because his Sword Heart was so similar to Sword Sorrow's that it had resonated with Sword Sorrow's heroic spirit, which bestowed upon him the inheritance of his lifetime.

At that moment, Proud Sword found a goal in the game. His formerly dispirited mindset was swept away, and his nearly shattered Sword Heart condensed once more.
