Commandery Princess

Lu Zhen tilted his head back and swallowed the Supreme Pure-Heart Dao Pill in one gulp.

His soul turned clear and tranquil in an instant.

Lu Zhen felt the world around him change.

His powers of comprehension soared to an inconceivable height.

Scenes of each clash of energy from when Leng Qiu had sparred with him in the underground training ground flashed through his mind.

"So that was it."

"Using one's own True Intent to forcibly alter the flow of energy nearby..."

Lu Zhen murmured to himself.

That thin layer of window paper that had stumped him for so long tore at a touch beneath this terrifying surge of comprehension.

The Second Layer of True Intent: Manifestation!

He had broken through.

But it was not over yet.

Only the tip of the Supreme Pure-Heart Dao Pill's medicinal power had begun to dissolve.

His insights into the Ice-Fire Tide and the sword intent forged in battles to the death fused wildly under the pill's influence.

Manifestation! Alter the flow of energy and bend heaven and earth to one's will.

A night slipped quietly by.

"The Second Layer of True Intent, Manifestation." Lu Zhen murmured, "And I've already reached a profound level."

The power of this fifth-grade Dao Pill was terrifying indeed.

With a thought, he brought up the Panel.

[Star River Sword Art (lower eighth grade) Lv.6 (Second Layer of True Intent) (50 billion/100 billion)]

"Still fifty billion short of the Third Layer of True Intent?" Lu Zhen's gaze sharpened.

He still had more than seventy billion General Experience on the books.

"Add points."

Fifty billion General Experience vanished in an instant.

His True Intent, which had only been able to alter the flow of energy around him, underwent a qualitative leap.

``` [Consumed 50 billion General Experience.
