Zhang San, please behave yourself!-Chapter 826 - 762: Blade Intent Three Stages
As Zhang San tightly gripped the spear in his hand.
Which was the Mo Blade.
The tremors on the Mo Blade became even more intense.
Evidently, the spear also wanted to test this would-be "companion" and see just how capable he was.
Though he was in the Spiritual Platform Realm, the spear couldn’t help but marvel; this young man indeed had some skill.
This young man’s might far exceeded cultivators of the same realm.
Even in its era, it had never seen anyone possess such immense might.
Although still inferior to Cangjie’s might in robustness.
But in terms of magnitude, it was even comparable to Chi You, who cultivated with three Seas of Wheels back then.
Could this kid really be a child of destiny?
Zhang San had initially thought he could suppress it with his might alone, but he never expected the spear’s resistance to be so fierce.
After all, it was one of the Twelve Superior Demons, although perhaps outdated in the current era.
But in Zhang San’s view, this was simply because it hadn’t cultivated much since becoming a supreme demon, content to idle in its corner.
Yet the development of the All Things Path regarding weaponry in this world was nothing like back then, making it seem weaker.
However, as a member of the Twelve Superior Demons, it couldn’t possibly be weak.
Thus, Zhang San began to unleash the Thunder Method, hoping to suppress it through the Thunder Method.
The spear was just about to "submit," ending its test for Zhang San, but it never expected this person would ambush it.
Yet this tingling sensation... felt so good!
Zhang San discovered that after using the Thunder Method, the Mo Blade no longer transmitted vibrations resisting him.
Though there was still a slight tremor, for reasons unknown, Zhang San felt there was a hint of pleasure in these tremors.
Zhang San merely assumed this was joy from finding a companion worthy of recognition.
However, in the next moment, the Blade Intent within Zhang San’s body resonated uniquely with the Mo Blade.
Zhang San slightly closed his eyes, feeling the collision and fusion of two distinct but somewhat similar Blade Intents.
And the spear within the Mo Blade was equally astonished.
Blade Intent, back when it was first born, wasn’t everywhere, but was generally a strong companion.
But after Chi You’s defeat, Blade Intent and War Intent weakened, while other intents began to emerge.
Literary Intent, created by Cangjie, combined text and runes to enhance the Rune Array, powerful enough to subdue an army with a single word.
Sword Intent, birthed in the Spring and Autumn era, required nurturing by a gentleman’s spirit, with the sword used not for slaughter, yet capable of destroying anything.
Even when the spear was worshipped by that tribe here, it couldn’t find many who could understand Blade Intent.
At that moment, the spear felt like a relic of an old era, discarded by this world.
Yet it never thought it would feel Blade Intent within this new companion’s body.
And it wasn’t a rudimentary Blade Intent.
Now, already in a joyful mood, coupled with the resonance of Blade Intent, the sympathy magnified its Blade Intent and significantly elevated Zhang San’s Blade Intent.
At this moment, the surrounding endless blood-red sand transformed into sharp Blade Intent, merging into Zhang San’s body.
Yet Zhang San was unaware of everything happening around him.
All Zhang San could sense was his Blade Intent seemingly being completed bit by bit.
Previously, his slash could unleash formidable might, but only because his enemies didn’t possess Blade Intent while he did.
Having is naturally better than not having.
But now, Zhang San could clearly perceive the evolution process of Blade Intent from nothing to something, and feel the innate, overwhelming power within it.
Is this the true Blade Intent?
As Zhang San wielded the Mo Blade, he slashed toward the sky within the Secret Realm.
At that moment, Zhang San realized his Blade Intent elevated directly to the Three Stages.
A swift slash carved a rift in the Secret Realm.
Zhang San slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the rift in the Secret Realm, then back at the Mo Blade in his hand.
Now merged within the Mo Blade, the spear taunted, "Kid, with my help, you’ve only reached Three-Stage Blade Intent. That’s not enough!"
Zhang San curiously asked, "Is there a higher level of Blade Intent beyond the Three-Stage Blade Intent?"
"Of course!"
The spear’s voice was filled with pride.
"When I was first born, I received the laws of this world, gaining Four-Stage Blade Intent! Since then, many have obtained Blade Intent, but none have surpassed Four-Stage. Perhaps, Four-Stage Blade Intent is the limit of this world!"
In truth, there’s something the spear hadn’t told Zhang San.
Even now, it couldn’t unleash Four-Stage Blade Intent in this world, only a slightly stronger Blade Intent than the Three-Stages.
The laws of this world had changed, thus hindering its Blade Intent.
However, regarding this matter, Spear felt it was better not to tell the young man.
After all, that would make it seem as though he truly had been abandoned by this world.
Although he had guarded the tribe’s tomb within the secret realm for so many years, he wasn’t too keen on venturing out into a world that had already changed so much.
Yet, he didn’t want to be looked down upon by his companions, especially someone so young.
"Fourth Stage Blade Intent, huh? It seems I still have room for improvement."
Zhang San smiled, and flew out of the secret realm with his Mo Blade.
As soon as Zhang San emerged, Spear gathered the entire secret realm.
Though this secret realm was not large, it was a space that Spear had carved out with his own power.
Now that he was leaving, he naturally had to take his things with him.
With the secret realm disappearing, the once desolate land full of sparse, withered, and twisted trees suddenly transformed into a burial ground filled with dead trees and broken weapons.
At this moment, Spear suddenly exclaimed, "Why is there still such a force within your body?"
Zhang San asked, puzzled, "What power?"
"Path of Calamity! Aren’t you a human race Cultivator of the Imperial Path? How does your body have the power of the Path of Calamity? And it’s... it’s... Aggressive Warfare!"
Zhang San immediately explained to Spear how he obtained this power.
"It doesn’t matter! How you obtained it doesn’t matter! What matters is that this power is useless to you but very useful to me! Give this power to me, and then I can transform you!"
"Aggressive Warfare, this Calamity, once it acts upon the Emperor, Generals, and Ministers, is a massive disaster! But if it’s upon Martial Artists, it’s an affirmation and enhancement of their own weapons. This capability is just right for us!"
Zhang San had previously thought about extracting and separating the Calamity Position of the Path of Calamity within him after he and his third senior brother finished constructing the framework of Dominion over the Six Paths.
After all, as a lower Calamity, I have to unleash Calamity Power every time I use my abilities.
Yet this particular Calamity really couldn’t gather any significant Calamity Power.
After all, I, Zhang San, never start wars just to gain something!
Even though as Zhang San gave the Calamity Position power to Spear, he suddenly realized that this time he had brought Li Shangfa and the others to wage war against the Thirty-Six Nations of the Western Regions.
But this was a defensive counterattack!
This was a righteous war!
How could this be called Aggressive Warfare!
Right!
Exactly!
Meanwhile, as everything around changed, Li Jing, Hu, the Immortal Monarch Who Treads Snow in Search of Plums, and Baili Niezhen rushed over.
"Zhang San, you’re out!"
Zhang San brandished his Mo Blade and smiled, saying, "Come! Let me introduce my new companion. One of the Twelve Superior Demons of the All Things Path, the first Iron Weapon forged by Chi You, now named Spear! After all, Spear and Lance are the mainstream weapons now, so even though it entered my Mo Blade, the name is still Spear!"
Everyone immediately greeted the Mo Blade in Zhang San’s hand.
From the moment Zhang San emerged, they all sensed something seemed different with his Mo Blade.
"Do you also have a superior demon by your side?"
Zhang San laughed, "Of course, this is Hu, a newly promoted one of the Twelve Superior Demons of the All Things Path, and currently the only one known who obtained a superior demon position without being bestowed by the Master of All Things."
"Hmm? The superior demon position is automatically granted by the All Things Path, not needing bestowment by the Master of All Things!"
Hearing this from Spear, everyone present froze for a moment.
"But now almost all superior demons have been granted the superior demon position by the Master of All Things! Did you all originally obtain it purely on your own?"
Zhang San asked curiously.
Spear coldly replied, "If even the superior demon position needs to be bestowed by the Master of All Things, rather than obtained through the All Things Path, then it only indicates there’s an issue with the All Things Path. While it may not be a major problem, it’s certainly not a minor one either."
Zhang San was speechless at Spear’s roundabout reasoning, so he chose to ignore him.
And Spear also felt there was nothing more to talk about with everyone.
Then, the massive Mo Blade gradually shrank until it was about the size of a key, hanging at Zhang San’s waist.
Zhang San asked Baili Niezhen, "How are Wang Ziteng, Li Shangfa, and the others doing now?"
"Master, in the past two weeks, they have already conquered all the remaining countries of the Thirty-Six Nations of the Western Regions! They should now be carrying the Letters of Surrender from the Thirty-Six Nations and are on their way back to Julong Pass. Considering the time, they should be arriving soon."
Zhang San couldn’t help but frown, asking, "In just two weeks?"
"Yes! Master, this time you entered the secret realm and stayed for a full two weeks."
Hu added from the side, "When we severely damaged the Chyiou Flag, we came to you and waited outside the secret realm for two weeks."
Only then did Zhang San realize, that perhaps when he was comprehending Blade Intent before, he hadn’t felt the passage of time.
In reality, it took a full two weeks for his Blade Intent to reach the Three Stages.
"So, it’ll soon be the third day of the fourth month! Let’s go, we have a big task to do!"
Spear curiously asked, "What big task?"
"Kidnapping a woman!"
