Divine King of Honour

At night, the lake wind howled.

The deck was already barely populated, but Xu Nian had not returned to his own cabin.

He was enjoying the tranquility here.

Stars above, waves below.

The lake wind brushed against his body, giving him a feeling of exhilaration.

At that moment, Xu Nian pondered a question—what is "force"?

Previously, Chen Tiansheng had demonstrated the use of "force" before him.

Yet he still couldn't figure out what "force" truly was.

"Whoosh!"

A gust of wind blew past Xu Nian's temples and rustled his sleeves.

"Huh?"

Xu Nian's spirit was shaken; during that instant, he felt as if his soul had touched something.

But the inspiration vanished quickly, and he was unable to grasp it.

Xu Nian wasn't regretful; instead, he sat cross-legged at the bow of the boat, closed his eyes, and allowed his heart to completely immerse itself.

The sound of wind near his ears gradually disappeared, and the roaring lake sound also faded away, leaving Xu Nian's mind fully immersed in the scenic ambiance.

Force is the power of heaven and earth.

Wind possesses wind force; powerful storms can destroy everything in their path.

Water has its force too; surging rivers can form floods capable of easily destroying a city.

Everything in the world has its force and using this force can achieve unexpected effects.

"Haha, I finally understand!"

Xu Nian suddenly opened his eyes, and with a blink, his figure appeared on another part of the deck, leaving a residual image at his previous location.

That's right, Xu Nian had just used the wind force, which allowed his speed to reach a terrifying level.

Now, with the wind force, Xu Nian's Illusion Fascinate Trace directly broke through to the Realm of Divine Transformation.

In an instant, Xu Nian was able to leave two residual images in different places, undoubtedly doubling his speed from before.

Moreover, Xu Nian's comprehension of force was not limited to this.

He suddenly leaped, jumping off the deck.

Yet eerily, Xu Nian did not fall into the lake but instead walked on the water, stepping across the surface.

If anyone had been there, they would have been too shocked to speak, "Walking on water."

Probably only Marquis Level masters could achieve that?

In fact, Xu Nian could do this because he utilized the water force, borrowing it to hover over the surface.

Theoretically, if Xu Nian could harness enough wind force, without reaching the Marquis Realm, he could also walk on air.

But Xu Nian had only just stepped into the threshold of force; his comprehension of force was not nearly enough.

In the future, as Xu Nian's understanding deepens, the feats he could accomplish would become increasingly surprising.

This was already terrifying, grasping the threshold of force at sixteen years old.

This might be unprecedented in the entire Tianhen Continent.

One should know that some people, throughout their lives, can never achieve Man and Sword as One, let alone force.

Xu Nian jumped with one leap, returning to the deck.

The sudden enlightenment was like a divine stroke for him.

Next, he only needed to gradually integrate the use of force into his sword, hammer, and even fists—his attack power would significantly increase.

With a thought, a Xuan Iron Sword appeared in Xu Nian's hand.

Xu Nian held the sword with both hands, continuously performed Sword Slashes, and repeated the motion.

While performing Sword Slashes, Xu Nian thought about how to use wind force to make his sword faster.

Since his body skill was adequate, his swordsmanship was as well.

He could also harness the wind force to enhance the power of his sword.

Xu Nian relentlessly performed sword slashes, and although each stroke seemed ordinary, with every slash, a bit of wind force fused into his swordsmanship.

With each stroke, his skill improved, which delighted Xu Nian.

However, his peaceful cultivation environment was soon disrupted when he recognized the young couple he had seen during the day approaching him.

Even though Xu Nian didn't think these two could perceive the secrets of his swordsmanship, he still ceased his sword movements.

After all, comprehending such power could shock the common folk; it was better to keep it hidden.

"I watched your fight today. A three-star Battle Sect defeating a Seven-star Martial Sect—you have great talent and strength. How about joining our Wuji Sect?" the woman in the white dress coldly asked as she approached Xu Nian.

"Sorry, I'm not interested!" Xu Nian bluntly refused.

These two approached him without even introducing themselves and immediately asked him to join the Wuji Sect, which greatly annoyed him.

Xu Nian's answer seemed to surprise the woman in white, causing her eyebrows to furrow slightly.

"Kid, you—" Chu Lin began angrily but was stopped by the woman in white.

"Do you already belong to a Sect?" she inquired.

"No!" Xu Nian crisply responded.

"Then why do you refuse?" the woman in white grew increasingly astonished.

In her view, the young man should have been ecstatic at the invitation.

Instead, he was not only indifferent but also flatly refused.

Many longed to join the Wuji Sect but couldn't, and here she was, being refused.

"Why should I join?" Xu Nian asked lightly, smiling.

The sense of superiority from these two was too strong; they acted as though everyone was desperate to enter their Sect.

The woman in white, taken aback by Xu Nian's counter-question, grew angry, her usually impassive face coloring slightly, and said, "Joining the Wuji Sect, you would receive unimaginable resources and guidance from the strong. I've observed your cultivation just now, and frankly, you're merely toddling like a child—completely ineffective."

Xu Nian just laughed at this.

His sword moves, intended to merge with wind force, were seen as child's play by her?

"Sorry, I'm still not interested!" Xu Nian answered with a light chuckle. Your adventure continues at My Virtual Library Empire

"You looking for death? Being invited to join the Wuji Sect is an honor, and here you are getting cocky. Do you think you're something special?" Chu Lin was furious and about to attack Xu Nian.

Xu Nian's grip on his Xuan Iron Sword tightened as he prepared to defend himself.

Yet, he was stopped once again by the woman in white.

"We didn't come to fight. If we wanted to, we could kill you with one move. I came here to tell you, hope you don't waste your talent, or you'll regret it later," she said before turning around and leaving.

"Kid, I hope you don't regret this. Even if you beg me, I won't allow you into the Wuji Sect," Chu Lin sneered, following the woman in white.

Xu Nian watched the disappearing duo, shaking his head helplessly.

Kill him with one move?

If it really came to a fight, it's not certain who would kill whom.

Xu Nian didn't dwell on it and continued to immerse himself in merging his swordsmanship with the wind force.

Dawn soon arrived, and the deck was becoming crowded, making it unsuitable for further cultivation.

Xu Nian decided to return to his cabin, sheathing his sword.

"Ah... help..."

But just then, a scream rang out.

Xu Nian quickly turned around only to see a huge snake tail curling around a middle-aged woman, pulling her into the lake.

Xu Nian's expression instantly turned grave as he rushed to the deck's edge, peering down using the Gray Dragon Eye.

He saw a hundred-meter-long white giant snake coiled under the large ship, with six fan-like wings on its back, and the woman being swallowed whole.

The Six-winged Ice Crystal Viper had appeared!
