While Others are Leveling Up, I Alone Will Cultivate Until Mahayana Before Making My Move
Chapter 113 - 105: Sharpening the Sword for Ten Years, The Demon-Subduing Pass Enemy-Slaying Sword!

Su Xing's short-term goal was to kill that damn Zong in the Divinity Transformation Stage, then inherit his legacy.

But it wasn't easy to achieve this; that damn Zong's strength was at least equivalent to a Martial Emperor and he had lived for a thousand years with too many life-saving tricks. Su Xing might end up caught off guard and fail miserably.

Therefore, Su Xing estimated that he needed at least Qi Refining to Divinity Transformation plus Body Refinement to the Divine Strength Realm and also had to be adept at offensive methods to have confidence in taking down that damn Zong.

To achieve this goal, Su Xing had to simulate multiple times to accumulate his foundation.

And now, with his Purple Talent for Sword Obsession along with this "Sword Canon General Outline," Su Xing undoubtedly saw hope.

Never mind mastering the Earth Sword; if he could even master the first part, the Human Sword, as the general outline suggested, making him invincible among mortals, Su Xing would have confidence in defeating that damn Zong.

Of course, to be safe, his strength and realm still needed some improvement.

Su Xing thought so and continued to simulate.

[In the ninth year, after you failed to refine the Divine Strength Pill, you devoted all your efforts to cultivation.]

[You practiced the general outline of the Sword Canon daily, gaining new insights every day, and your swordsmanship progressed rapidly.]

[That same year, due to having ample demonic beast flesh essence and taking the Origin Martial Pill daily, your cultivation level advanced to the ninth layer of the Origin Martial Realm.]

[In the tenth year, your understanding of the sword deepened, but you knew that effort leads to results. You didn't aim too high or pursue so-called Sword Intent or Sword Qi; instead, you focused on perfecting every sword move and action.]

[That same year, due to the abundant spiritual energy in the Spirit Field Blessed Land, your Qi Refining cultivation further advanced, and you reached the third layer of the Nascent Soul Stage as a cultivator.]

[In the eleventh year, after ten years of practicing swordsmanship, you became thoroughly familiar with the four basic types of sword techniques and had perfected dozens of basic sword moves. You were no longer satisfied with the most basic swordsmanship and wanted to practice deadly sword techniques!]

[You knew well that the path of the sword was meant for killing, whether men, demons, or any enemies. Practicing basic moves for ten years without learning deadly techniques would never lead to greater improvements.]

[In the twelfth year, at your strong insistence, you joined the Demon-Subduing Pass army, becoming a border warrior.]

[The top echelons of Great Xia initially blocked you in every way because they believed your identity was too important to risk in the Demon-Subduing Pass, and the Pass did not need your strength.]

[But you understood that killing enemies was not for others but to hone your swordsmanship. Eventually, with your persistence, the Great Xia military agreed to let you join the Demon-Subduing Pass and kill enemies yourself.]

[To ensure your safety, the Great Xia military assigned several Heavenly King level experts and one Martial Emperor level expert. Their orders were that you should not face any danger as long as they were alive.]

[You weren't worried about your safety because you knew that legendary expert Luo Shuying was constantly watching you on the battlefield. Unless a Legendary level foreign race acted personally, you wouldn't be in life-threatening danger.]

[You joined the Demon-Subduing Pass and, to ensure your swordsmanship had ample practice, disguised yourself and started as the most ordinary soldier, recklessly fighting on the battlefield.]

[Your strength was enough to kill demonic beasts of the Heavenly King level, but having no combat experience, you decided to start with weaker enemies.]

[In your first month at the Demon-Subduing Pass, you slew 36 Grandmaster level demonic beasts, 178 Master level demonic beasts, and countless others below the Gold level!]

[In the second month at the Demon-Subduing Pass, you slew 60 Grandmaster level demonic beasts, 270 Master level demonic beasts, and countless others below the Gold level!]

[In the third month, with your military merits, you became a Chiliarch, commanding a thousand men.]

[But you didn't care about any of this; you only wanted to continuously fight strong enough enemies to hone your swordsmanship.]

[In the fourth month, the number of demonic beasts that died by your hand was countless. You grew unsatisfied with killing Grandmaster level demonic beasts and set your sights on Demon Kings.]

[Initially, due to insufficient combat experience, even though you could win by relying on your overwhelming strength, you still won rather miserably.]

[But as you fought continuously, your understanding of the "killing sword" improved. You began delivering fatal strikes, without any hesitation.]

[In a month's time, you killed seven Demon Kings! With your military merits, you became a Ten Thousand Commander at the Demon-Subduing Pass, even leading two Heavenly King level Profession Users.]

[In the fifth month, you remained obsessed with battle and refining your skills. That month, the number of Demon Kings who died by your hand exceeded ten!]

[In the sixth month, your remarkable achievements caught the attention of the foreign race, which sent six Demon Kings to surround and kill you.]

[With one person and one sword, you fought the six Demon Kings for an entire day and night. When the other warriors found you, the ground around you was covered in the shattered remains of Demon Kings and rivers of blood.]

[In this great battle, you were also heavily injured, with a wound over a foot long on your abdomen. Reluctantly, you retreated from the front lines to recover.]

Upon seeing this, Su Xing's expression turned serious.

"Yes! I had always focused on improving my realm and strength but neglected my practical combat abilities and battle experience..."

"In this situation, facing weaker enemies is one thing, but when encountering enemies of comparable or even greater strength, I would definitely be at a disadvantage!"
