"Awakening successful!"
"Sharpness (Awakening: Inch-Realm Force Field)!"
A force field?
Xu Xiaoshou was slightly stunned when he saw the name of this awakening.

But this awakening direction seemed somewhat vague.
Something like an "xx Sword Body" had not appeared. Instead, he had gotten an "Inch-Realm Force Field"...

Xu Xiaoshou went dizzy for a moment. "What's going on?"
He raised his hand and examined it closely, only to discover a translucent, membrane-like layer around his arm.
"This is the force field?"

The "sword light" filling his own Inch-Realm Force Field, however,
