C15 The Third Extreme Intent, Sabre Box!

Three days had passed since the battle at Huthwaite. Bai Le had noticed an uptick in high-order law enforcement officers patrolling his neighborhood. Since the resurgence of Spiritual Qi and the rise of vicious beasts, the world had been in disarray, with many sinister factions seizing the chance to wreak havoc. Collectively, these groups were known as the 'evil path.' Their members possessed bizarre talents and twisted minds, representing the most extreme elements of instability within humanity. There had been numerous attempts by these organizations to assassinate young prodigies.

As such, Bai Le found himself under the vigilant watch of law enforcement. But for now, those concerns were beyond his reach. His daily routine remained unchanged: disciplined physical training and meticulous practice of his martial techniques. The martial path was arduous and unending. Possessing the Intent Blade was not a source of pride for him, but rather a driving force that spurred him onward.

At 17, not yet 18, Bai Le still had the opportunity to awaken his latent talents. He was still a tyro, with boundless potential waiting to be tapped. After a full day of rigorous training, Bai Le, drenched in sweat and panting, reveled in the exhaustion. He savored a Dong Kui Fruit and fried up two slabs of iron hoof buffalo beef. "Ah, that hits the spot," he sighed contentedly.

Full and satisfied, Bai Le lounged on his balcony chair, gazing out at the city as night fell, his thoughts adrift. Despite his loneliness as a transmigrator, he felt an inexplicable sense of belonging here. A warm sensation emanated from his palm—the Intent Blade resonating with him. "My friend, you're eager for a good fight too, aren't you?" he whispered.

In recent days, his Intent Value had increased by six points, now sitting at 79. The higher the Intent Value, the more vibrant the Intent Blade became, twinkling mischievously in response to Bai Le's words, its silver-white glow enchanting.

"Ha, no need to rush. Soon, we'll venture into a much grander realm," Bai Le chuckled to himself. The martial examination results were due to be released in half an hour—a moment countless candidates were anxiously awaiting.

After a brief rest, Bai Le opened his eyes and moved to his computer to check his scores.

Examinee: Bai Le

Total Score: 741

Score Breakdown: Innate Talent (150), Martial Skills (150), Aptitude (150), Physique (91), Willpower (100), Combat IQ (100)

Provincial Ranking: 1

Aside from a 9-point deduction in Physique, he had achieved perfect scores across the board—a total of 741 points! Such a score was unprecedented, not just in the province but in the entire history of the martial examination. Without a doubt, Bai Le was the undisputed champion of this year's martial exam.

Achievement: Martial Champion

Achievement Rewards: Increase in Intent Value Limit by 20, Recovery of 20 Intent Value points

Additional Rewards: Ascending Book x1, Sabre Box, Famous Saber Soul 'Leaping Dragon Gate'

Grade A Achievement Mission Completed.

The rewards were incredibly generous. Bai Le, managing to contain his excitement, examined them closely. His Intent Value limit had been raised by 20 points and had recovered by 20 points, meaning his new Intent Value limit had jumped from 100 to 120.

The higher the Intent Value's upper limit, the more formidable the Extreme Intent becomes, and the longer the Intent Blade lasts.

With the 20 points restored, the current Intent Value is now 99/120.

The Ascending Book has been mentioned before, so no need to elaborate.

Bai Le used it straightaway to enhance his Hannya Technique levels.

Having these two rewards was already quite the boon.

But to his surprise, there were two more impressive rewards in store!

Sabre Box (Intent Blade, Extreme Intent).

The third Extreme Intent had arrived, joining the ranks of Soul Devouring Slash and Thunderclap Bomb!

Sabre Box (Unlocking the 'Famous Saber Soul' feature).

Based on the host's achievements, corresponding 'Famous Saber Souls' are awarded.

These 'Famous Saber Souls' are stored within the Sabre Box, with a maximum capacity of six.

Each 'Famous Saber Soul' can only be used once.

Upon summoning the Intent Blade, the host can equip it with the appropriate Saber Soul.

Each Saber Soul boasts unique traits and aesthetics, offering a comprehensive boost to the Intent Blade.

However, it's a one-time use for each Saber Soul.

He opened the Intent Blade panel to take a look.

Intent Blade (Low Order)

Intent Value (99/120)

Extreme Intent: Soul Devouring Slash (1st Layer / 3rd Layer), Thunderclap Bomb (1st Layer / 3rd Layer), Sabre Box (1st Layer / 3rd Layer).

Next Level (0 Beast Spirits / 10,000 Beast Spirits)

Techniques: Hannya Technique (2nd Layer / 13th Layer), Wind Breaking and Flame Separating (2nd Layer / 6th Layer).

Sabre Box (Saber Soul Storage): Maple Leaf Stop (S), Huthwaite (C), Leaping Dragon Gate (A).

Bai Le had unlocked three achievements, each corresponding to a major Saber Soul.

Maple Leaf Stop was the achievement for a high beast kill rate.

Huthwaite was the achievement for defeating Murong Lianjie and Wang Doukun.

Leaping Dragon Gate was the achievement from this year's martial examination!

"Sabre Box..."

Bai Le was particularly fond of this Extreme Intent.

It gave him the thrill of amassing the world's renowned sabers!

What's more, he could admire his collection of Famous Saber Souls in the Sabre Box without even summoning the Intent Blade!

Eager to try, Bai Le commanded.

"Sabre Box, open!"

In his room, a virtual projection of the mechanism appeared and unfolded.

Three renowned sabers materialized before Bai Le, resplendent like a peacock's tail.

The Maple Leaf Stop, with its golden hues interwoven with bright red.

The Huthwaite, shaped like a white waterfall.

The Leaping Dragon Gate, where a koi and dragon entwine around the loft.

The trio of sabers shone brilliantly, their glow casting a kaleidoscope of colors.

Setting aside all else, this Extreme Intent was sheer perfection.
