Saber Dao Prodigy

"Congratulations, Dao Master. This talent evolution was successful. You have obtained the Bright Yellow Grade Talent—Saber Dao Prodigy!"

[Talent: Saber Dao Prodigy]

[Rank: Bright Yellow Grade]

[Description: You are a once-in-ten-million Saber Dao Prodigy. You possess an innately powerful talent for the saber that draws countless eyes!

In your hands, countless saber techniques will become incomparably simple. Your comprehension of any saber technique will advance at lightning speed, allowing you to achieve shocking results in a short time.]

"Saber Dao Prodigy! A saber talent found only once in ten million people—this is the talent I evolved this time?"

At the sight of this talent, boundless light surged in Lin Yi's eyes.

One had to know that after the stacking of the two major talents, "Martial Dao Genius" and "Saber Dao Paragon," he had already possessed an exceedingly terrifying gift in the saber.

With the enhancement of the Extreme Strength Realm added on top, Lin Yi estimated that his original talent in saber techniques had already faintly surpassed the Crimson Grade Talent level.

And now, with another Bright Yellow Grade saber talent stacked on top, while he might not be able to rival those Saber Dao Paragons who appeared only once in a hundred million people, he could absolutely rival Saber Dao Geniuses who appeared once in tens of millions!

But just how formidable was a Saber Dao Genius who appeared only once in tens of millions?

Clang!

With a thought, Lin Yi raised his hand and immediately drew a long saber from the weapon rack beside him.

The saber was snow-white, its cold aura chilling to the bone. In the night, it seemed even more piercingly frigid.

Without delay, Lin Yi swung the cold saber and began practicing the Fourth-Rank Martial Art, Full Moon Star Saber.

Whoosh!

Within the martial cultivation room, streams of water-like Saber Light blossomed through the air.

At times, they resembled a bright full moon; at times, a heavy star; at times, they looked like a waning moon that radiated a grim chill...

For a time, full moons, stars, waning moons, shattered stars—one strange phenomenon after another, formed from snow-white Saber Light—appeared throughout this small martial cultivation room.

And on the Attribute Panel in Lin Yi's mind, as he continuously practiced his saber, the cultivation progress of Full Moon Star Saber under the martial arts section steadily rose.

[Martial Art: Full Moon Star Saber (Beginner, 1%)]

[Martial Art: Full Moon Star Saber (Beginner, 2%)]

[Martial Art: Full Moon Star Saber (Beginner, 10%)]

[Martial Art: Full Moon Star Saber (Beginner, 20%)]

Inside the martial cultivation room, Lin Yi practiced madly, the long saber in his hand continuously moving according to the records in the manual.

In the blink of an eye, he practiced without pause until dawn.

At this moment, the progress of Full Moon Star Saber on the Attribute Panel abruptly changed.

[Martial Art: Full Moon Star Saber (Beginner, 87%)]

"87%!"

Seeing that number, even Lin Yi found it hard to believe.

"In one night, I cultivated for less than five hours, yet my progress in Full Moon Star Saber has surged from 1% to 87%."

"If I cultivate for another hour—no, half an hour—wouldn't I directly reach Minor Accomplishment?"

"My talent really is... terrifying!"

A deep shock flashed through Lin Yi's eyes, but he could not stop the smile from spreading across his face.

To cultivate a Fourth-Rank Martial Art from Beginner to nearly Minor Accomplishment in a single night—even if he already had a solid foundation—if this news spread, it would likely be enough to shake all of Dongshan Prefecture.

After all, Fourth-Rank Martial Arts were truly difficult, so difficult that even the former Lin Yi had found them troublesome.

Even among Fifth Grade Martial Artists, there were probably not many experts who could cultivate a Fourth-Rank Martial Art to Great Accomplishment, much less a Seventh Grade Martial Artist like himself.

But now that he possessed the "Saber Dao Prodigy" talent, Lin Yi was confident that he could cultivate it to Great Accomplishment within two months, or perhaps even less.

As for one year from now, when the Tianshan Sect held its disciple recruitment examination, he was confident that he could even cultivate it to the Perfection Realm!

By then, his cultivation would reach the peak of Sixth Rank, his Extreme Strength would reach Minor Accomplishment or even Great Accomplishment, and his Fourth-Rank Martial Art would also reach Perfection.

With such a lineup, even if the Martial Arts Academy disciples participating in next year's Tianshan Sect examination were brimming with geniuses, Lin Yi had absolute confidence in securing a place for himself!

"I'll eat breakfast first, then rest for a while. After that, I'll continue cultivating and strive to bring Full Moon Star Saber to Great Accomplishment as soon as possible."

With that thought, Lin Yi was filled with motivation. He then headed toward the Martial Arts Academy cafeteria.

And so, in the days that followed, Lin Yi's life became very peaceful.

Because he already had Five Thousand Taels of Silver and ten Tiger Tendon Leopard Blood Pills, and because his status as a Profound-grade Genius gave him a certain discount when buying pills at the Myriad Phenomena Tower—

As long as Lin Yi spent carefully, he did not need to worry about pills for the time being. He could devote most of his energy to cultivating martial arts.

Thus, with the combination of many powerful talents and the aid of pills, Lin Yi's martial skills, Power Exertion Realm, and Martial Cultivation all advanced by leaps and bounds.

And amid such rapid progress, another month and a half passed in the blink of an eye.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

That day, inside a martial cultivation room at Guangling Martial Academy, the sounds of weapons colliding echoed through the air. Two teenage figures were continuously exchanging blows across the floor.

One wielded a saber, while the other held a Greatsword.

The youth with the Greatsword had a pale face, his muscles trembling all over. It seemed as though he could barely hold onto the Greatsword in his hand.

Meanwhile, the saber-wielding youth wore a calm expression. The long saber in his hand moved with effortless ease, as if he were taking a leisurely stroll through a courtyard. With only casual turns of his blade, he left the Greatsword youth scrambling, as though he might lose to the saber-wielding youth at any moment.

Finally, after they had exchanged over a hundred moves.

Whoosh!

The saber-wielding youth slashed out, cutting through the air. The Greatsword youth failed to defend in time.

The next moment, when he came back to his senses, he discovered that an icy long saber had already been placed against his throat.

"This..."

Feeling the cold saber beside his neck, Wang Kai's Greatsword drooped powerlessly to the floor. He could not help but smile bitterly.

"Lin Yi, you're really becoming more and more terrifying. Only a month and a half has passed, but I feel like you've cultivated for a year and a half!"

"Clearly, when you and I fought on the arena a month and a half ago, I could still force you to fully unleash Extreme Strength. Only after several hundred moves did I narrowly lose to you."

"But now, you haven't even unleashed Extreme Strength, and I can't last two hundred moves against you."

"Tell me honestly, just how strong are you now? Could you already rival a Fifth Grade Martial Artist?"

"Heh heh, secret."

Lin Yi chuckled, then looked at Wang Kai.

"So, are we continuing?"

"Forget it! I'm done!"

Wang Kai repeatedly shook his head.

"You're too fierce. Sparring with you two or three times a day is fine, but any more than that is purely asking for a beating. I don't have a masochistic streak, so let's call it here for today. We'll fight again another day."

"Oh, right! I was so absorbed in our fight that I nearly forgot to tell you something."

"This morning, when I had just arrived at the Martial Arts Academy, I happened to run into Teacher Sun. He asked me to inform you that after lunch today, you should come with me to the Dean's study to see him. Apparently, he has something important to tell us."

"Oh, something important? What major matter could the Martial Arts Academy have?"

Lin Yi was somewhat curious.

"I don't know either, but it probably isn't anything bad."

At this point, Wang Kai smiled.

"After all, the Martial Arts Academy's hopes of getting disciples into the Tianshan Sect next year rest entirely on the two of us."

"Under these circumstances, the Dean treats us like treasures before he even has time to spare. Why would he do anything harmful to us?"

"In any case, we'll know everything once we see the Dean later."

"Alright!"

Lin Yi said.

"Then let's each practice a little longer first. After we eat, we'll go to the Dean's study together."

"Alright!"

Wang Kai nodded as well.
