Chapter 257: Slaughterous Sword Will, Formed!

The night grew darker.

After Yan Cangtian escorted Ling Feng back to his residence, he returned to his medicinal herb garden.

He was prepared to conduct in-depth research using the donkey's hair.

Ling Feng could only pray for the gods to protect this alchemy fanatic.

"While it's still dark, I should refine the Sword Enlightenment Stone."

Ling Feng took out the seven-inch Sword Enlightenment Stone and immersed his spiritual consciousness into it. He was immediately overwhelmed by the pure and vast sword will inside.

Compared to the faint sword will he sensed in the sword monument during the entrance exam, the sword will he felt through the Sword Enlightenment Stone was not just a bit stronger, but tenfold or more!

"Such pure sword will. I wonder how this Sword Enlightenment Stone was formed!"

Ling Feng's mind surged with excitement, but he quickly calmed down.

Now was not the time for excitement; absorbing the insights of swordsmanship from the Sword Enlightenment Stone was the priority.

Buzz!

Within his sea of mind, the sword embryo of the slaughterous sword will seemed to have sensed the surging sword will and became unusually excited.

It was like a hungry baby sensing milk.

As time passed, the sword embryo continued to condense, becoming denser and purer, and the form of the sword blade became more apparent.

Ling Feng had reason to believe that if he had enough Sword Enlightenment Stones, he might be able to elevate the slaughterous sword will to a considerable level.

According to the Devil Instructor, Leng Jianfeng, swordsmanship was divided into three realms.

Sword will, sword force and sword domain!

Each realm was further divided into five stages: beginner, novice, advanced, perfection, and great perfection.

Ling Feng had only condensed a sword embryo, known as half-step sword will. He hadn't even reached the stage of a beginner.

Once he entered the beginner stage, with the nature of the slaughterous sword will, his sword will could easily rival ordinary advanced sword wills.

Ling Feng focused his mind and seemed to enter a mysterious canyon in his mind.

The canyon seemed to be split in half by a spiritual sword, with a surging river flowing through it relentlessly.

...

The next day.

The men residing in the Tianshu East Court got up early to fetch water and freshen up, but each of them had dark circles under their eyes, as if they hadn't rested well.

"What's going on? I thought I was the only one?"

Ouyang Jing noticed that all the brothers in the courtyard had dark circles under their eyes and couldn't help but ask, "Did you all have nightmares too?"

"Yeah, I've been having nightmares all night since the second half of the night. It's terrifying!" Feng Mo complained while washing his face with cold well water. "I dreamt of a serial killer, man. He slaughtered city after city, country after country, all covered in blood!"

"What you saw was nothing!" Ouyang Jing recalled with lingering fear. "I saw nothing but bones and flesh everywhere! And at the top of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood stood a figure with a fluttering cloak."

"Who was it?" they all asked in unison.

"Hehe, I couldn't see his face clearly, but with that kind of carefree and unruly, elegant and extraordinarily beautiful face... I'm afraid it could have only been me," Ouyang Jing said shamelessly.

Since he managed to win over Zhou Yun, his thick skin had only gotten thicker.

"Continue lying!" Zhou Kai rolled his eyes, looking disdainful.

"Hehe, I misspoke. Of course, that extraordinary man must have been you, my esteemed brother-in-law, Brother Kai!" Ouyang Jing ingratiated himself with a smirk.

"Seriously, my nightmare was even scarier than yours. That guy had millions of beasts and billions of spirits kneeling at his feet. At the peak of all of the spirits, a great demon king held a long sword and with a wave, crack, crack, millions of heads fell!"

He Yiming swallowed hard, still shivering as he recounted the nightmare.

"Exaggeration!" Everyone gave him a disdainful glance and turned to Jiang Xiaofan. "Xiaofan, tell us honestly, what nightmare did you have?"

"Um..." Jiang Xiaofan scratched the back of his head. "I'm not as eloquent as you guys. I also had a nightmare, but it wasn't about a serial killer. It was about a very frightening figure standing behind me. The aura was so intense that I couldn't sleep all night.

"But..." Jiang Xiaofan paused and continued, "I constantly felt that the aura was somewhat familiar, and that figure seemed a bit like someone we know."

"Now that you mention it, it did seem familiar."

Feng Mo and Ouyang Jing nodded. "It did seem familiar."

At that moment, the door in the middle of the courtyard opened, and Ling Feng stepped out, noticing everyone was there. He smiled faintly and greeted them by saying, "Good morning, everyone!"

"Hmm?"

In an instant, all eyes were on Ling Feng. They exchanged glances and then nodded in agreement. "Yes, it was him!" They all said in unison.
