Chapter 147: Chapter 123: The Rune Blade, Piercing the Soul

Translator: 549690339

The power of the Light King Blade Technique is generally impressive, what people value most is the profound and mysterious Heart’s Eye.

As Jack Clark’s limit enhancement cultivation method reached its peak, his consciousness seemed to explode, scattering into countless thoughts around him, the intangible matter vanishing into the depths of the void.

At the same time, Jack’s True Strength flowed from his dantian, following some unfamiliar routes, each circulation becoming increasingly powerful, and his aura sharp and intimidating.

Whenever an invisible breeze came within a meter of Jack, a tearing sound could be heard, as the sharp aura surrounding him sliced through it.

Suddenly, Jack’s thoughts scattered across the depths of the surrounding space began to shrink rapidly.

Boom! A sound like the opening of Heaven itself exploded in the depths of his mind. A vast Sea of Consciousness gradually took shape in the void.

In this seemingly empty consciousness space, Jack’s immense mental power began to condense, eventually forming a rune that looked like a combination of both text and a knife, thanks to the special “strength” it brought back from the void.

As the rune condensed, a surge of information flooded into Jack’s mind.

“Blade of Void Cutting, formed by the combined mental and spirit power, possessing the ability to annihilate all illusory forces.”

A blade cutting through the physical body, a heart cutting into the soul?

In a soft murmur, Jack slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was incredibly sharp, and the air around him subtly ripping apart as his eyes moved across it.

Feeling the changes occurring within him, Jack’s eyes revealed a hint of astonishment.

After this limit enhancement of his sword skill, his realm naturally broke through to the Late-stage Third Layer Heaven, his True Strength doubling in intensity and becoming more refined.

In addition to the breakthrough in realm, the meridians throughout his body expanded and became more tenacious, able to withstand more powerful bursts of True Strength.

However, the biggest gain for Jack was his change in mental power, which became more acute under the influence of the rune.

Moreover, if anyone dared to attack him with a spiritual intention, activating the Blade of Void Cutting Rune would instantly annihilate their invading forces.

Of course, the annihilation had its limits.

If the opponent’s mental or soul intent was much stronger than Jack’s, the rune would certainly shatter.

Aside from that, Jack’s newly developed intuition granted him an almost sixth sense, making him even more perceptible to his surroundings.

For example, right now.

As if pondering something, Jack turned his head towards the distant left, where a few flashes of light suddenly appeared, followed by an extremely fast approach.

With the arrival, an oppressive, strong aura filled the air.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! In the blink of an eye, three figures, emitting either red or blue glows and exuding Sixth-level Heaven auras, landed nearby.

“We detected the presence of a Mutated Beast around here.”

“Strange, there’s no trace of the beast, didn’t it come ashore?”

“Hey, have you seen any powerful Mutated Beasts around here?” The several figures swept their electric-like gazes across the surroundings before finally landing on Jack.

As the flame flickered, Jack recognized one of the figures and unexpectedly said,”… Teacher Jerrold.”

Teacher Jerrold West, with his imposing figure, was also somewhat surprised. He looked at Jack standing on a remote reef rock and asked, “Student Clark, what are you doing here?”

As they spoke, the three figures crossed dozens of meters in just a couple of flashes, landing on the reef rocks below. Seeing this, Jack also leaped down from above.

Jerrold West enthusiastically introduced, “Let me introduce you. These two are also teachers at Los Angeles Martial Height.”

“This is the genius from South Sky Martial Height 1 mentioned, the one who took care of our freshmen during their time at the Koroya trial.”

The other two teachers’ gazes warmed considerably upon learning that Jack had been helpful to their freshmen in Koroya.

Jack politely greeted, “Nice to meet you, teachers.”

One of the middle-aged teachers laughed, “No wonder he’s a genius from South Sky Martial Height! With your Late-stage Third Layer Heaven cultivation at such a young age, it’s truly impressive.”

Jack’s breakthrough had just happened, and his aura was on full display, so the three teachers could clearly see his Late-stage Third Layer Heaven realm.

“Oh, that’s nothing compared to the expertise of you three teachers,” Jack said humbly.

This time, Jerrold West, puzzled, asked, “Oh, by the way, student Clark, why are you here so late?” The other two teachers were also curious.

After all, normal people wouldn’t be standing on a reef by the sea in the middle of the night.

Facing this question, Jack already had an answer prepared, “Recently, I’ve been stuck in the Middle Phase of the Third Layer Heaven and felt quite frustrated. Then, 1 suddenly thought about coming to the seaside.”

“Maybe the boundlessness of the sea can help me relax my frustrated mind.”

“Unexpectedly, I had an enlightenment while observing the unity of the sea and sky in the evening, so 1 started to cultivate here, just breaking through to Late-stage Third Layer Heaven a while ago.”

“Ah, so that’s what happened.”

The three teachers were amazed, not expecting Jack’s breakthrough to stem from a mere glimpse at the sea. Although it had much to do with him being stuck at the peak of the middle period, his talent was still astonishing.

With a feigned innocence, Jack asked curiously, “Speaking of which, Teacher Jerrold, why did you suddenly come here?”

“We received an alert from the school’s safety center, stating that the Light Wave Detector detected a high-energy Mutated Beast in this coastal area, so we rushed here to investigate.”

The Light Wave Detector was a special device that combined energy and invisible light waves to detect the energy fluctuations of all individuals in the vicinity of the city.

As opposed to cultivators who could conceal their auras, Mutated Beasts constantly emitted powerful fluctuations that were often ten to dozens of times that of cultivators at the same level, making them easy to identify.

As for why the Heavy Armored Beast’s Third Evolution hadn’t activated the Detector during their previous encounter at the Mist River, it was simply because the creature was too weak at the time and was masked by the river.

At this moment, Jack Clark thoughtfully said, “So, the surging waves in the front were due to a powerful Mutated Beast lurking underwater.”

“Oh? Student Clark, have you seen that Mutated Beast?”

Jack Clark nodded: “Yes, it didn’t come ashore, but it caused the waves far away and showed part of its body. It’s probably because I picked up this Blood Crystal on the beach.”

As he spoke, Jack Clark opened his palm, revealing a blood-red stone the size of a fist, still covered with some sand.

“… You actually picked up a Blood Crystal, what luck.” Looking at the blood-red stone, Jerrold West and the others were at a loss for words, apart from being envious.

They came to the beach for a walk, accidentally made a breakthrough to the late-stage Third Layer Heaven, and even picked up a high-grade resource that was worth dozens of Contribution Points during their walk on the beach.

Jack Clark humbly said, “I was quite surprised too.”

Previously, Jack Clark was considering how to explain the origin of the Blood Crystal, since some things can’t be hidden from those who are genuinely concerned.

He didn’t expect to meet Jerrold West and the others, now they were his witnesses.

As for whether they would be covetous, Jack Clark was not worried, a few dozen Contribution Points wouldn’t cause them to do such a thing.

“Student Clark, it’s late, and it might not be convenient for you to go back. Would you like to stay at Los Angeles Martial Height for the night?”

“Thank you, Mr. West.” Jack Clark didn’t hesitate.

That night, Jack Clark stayed at Los Angeles Martial Height. The next morning, there was even a school car that sent him to the train station, leaving him somewhat embarrassed by their hospitality.

When he returned to school, Jack Clark told Lori Parma about what happened last night.

“You just had a breakthrough to the late-stage Third Layer Heaven and also picked up a Blood Crystal.” Looking at the Blood Crystal on the desk, Lori Parma shook her head with a bitter smile.

That luck…

Then, Lori Parma pondered, “Your breakthrough speed is faster than I imagined, but that’s also good, the probability of approval will be higher.

“Teacher, what needs approval?” Jack Clark paused slightly.

Lori Parma shook her head: “It’s nothing, just go on with your own business.”

Although puzzled, Jack Clark still nodded, took the Blood Crystal, and went straight to the Logistics Department.

“Hello, I found a Blood Crystal, and 1 want to know how many Contribution Points it can be exchanged for.” With that, Jack Clark put the Blood Crystal on the counter, and the staff member inside quickly took it over.

This Blood Crystal was useful for Mutated Beasts, but not for humans. It didn’t have any effect on the attribute page when he held it in his hand.

There was no need to keep it under these circumstances. Jack Clark planned to sell it to the school in exchange for some Contribution Points to use later.

Hello, classmate. This Blood Crystal has excellent quality, and according to your authority, the recovery price is worth 40 Contribution Points.”

It’s actually worth 40 points?” Jack Clark was surprised.

The staff member nodded, “Yes, this Blood Crystal has excellent quality, containing a powerful and hot attribute, so its price is much higher than ordinary Blood Crystals.”

Suddenly, Jack Clark felt a bit regretful. If he had known that these Blood Crystals were so valuable, he would have given one less to the Single-horned Tiger Whale.

With this 40 points, plus the 30 points from killing the Blood Envoy, he had accumulated a total of 70 points, making up a quarter.

Despite the regret, Jack Clark went to a private room in the ‘Internet cafe’ on the thirty-third floor, closed the door, entered his Student ID.

“Identity Verification Passed…”

“Please relax, student. The Secret Method Yingshen will begin data transmission…”

As Jack Clark chose to redeem the Yingshen, a stream of data and images were transmitted into his mind through a special memory light beam…

The Sword Armor Flame Beast was detected even when it was only staying at the seaside for a minute by Light Wave Induction.

Although psychologically prepared, Jack Clark was still a little surprised.

To avoid accidents when the Sword Armor Flame Beast evolved for the fourth time, Jack Clark felt that he needed to study a method to hide his aura.

Just in time, he needed it too, while he would consider learning Weapon Casting Secret Skill after breaking through the Four Layer Heaven.

As for whether the method to hide the aura of his main body during cultivation would work for the Avatar, he didn’t have to worry. Even if it couldn’t be fully practiced, it would still have some effect like the Angry Elephants Trampling the Sky.

“I never expected that Spirit Power and Qi Blood could be used this way.” After a long while, Jack Clark, who had completed the Secret Skill Inheritance, closed the computer.

Jack Clark closed his eyes slightly, allowed the Secret Skill information to circulate in his mind, and then the thought echoed in his mind: “Consume 20 attribute points, strengthen the Secret Method Yingshen.”

As Jack Clark’s voice fell, the 32 remaining points on the attribute page turned into 12.

At the same time, an invisible force led a majestic amount of spirit from the Sea of Consciousness, fused with the Qi Blood, and gradually formed a rune-like imprint.

However, compared to Elephant’s Fury and the Blade of Void Cutting Rune, the ‘Hidden’ rune formed by merging Qi Blood and spirit was much simpler.

When this Blood Qi Hidden Rune was completed, it came to Jack Clark’s chest and integrated into his body, instantly spreading out as an invisible ripple to wrap around his entire body like a membrane.

Underneath this invisible Qi membrane, the invisible pressure that Jack Clark’s body emitted, even after being repressed, gradually disappeared.

A surprised look appeared in Jack Clark’s eyes: “So that’s how it is, these Secret Skills aren’t ‘Cultivation Methods,’ but runes simulating certain abilities.”

These Secret Skills were formed by combining powerful mental intent with Qi Blood, condensing into ‘runes,’ which could be activated to exhibit their effects without relying on the human body’s meridian circulation.

So, theoretically, the Sword Armor Flame Beast could also practice this method.

Thinking of this, Jack Clark was excited, but he didn’t bother to go out, simply sat in a chair, and concentrated his attention on the Sword Armor Flame Beast in the distant sea.

Gurgle, Gurgle!!

Lying on a coral reef at a depth of 200 meters beneath the sea, the Sword Armor Flame Beast blew out a string of bubbles, and a serious human-like look appeared in its golden vertical pupils.

Then, a trace of delight slowly emerged as it was really feasible, although the progress was slow….
