Chen Ping's Sword

Three years passed in the blink of an eye.

When Chen Ping opened his eyes once again on the third level of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, he felt infinite emotions welling up in his heart.

Back during the class selection competition in Class 5, Grade 3 of Qinghai First High School, naturally, there was no suspense.

With just three moves, he turned Class President Huang Zhiming into a complete mess.

No matter how much effort the opponent put in, faced with Chen Ping, who had experienced countless battle formations and seen numerous masters, he was as naive and laughable as a child.

Afterward, Chen Ping swept through the class, using Meditation-level Spiritual Power to guide Star Essence Body Refinement, mastering all seventy-two sets of fitness exercises to perfection.

Three days later, with all elite students gathered, Chen Ping stood alone as the champion, with no one able to challenge him.

The entire school was shocked, and major prestigious schools scrambled to recruit him.

The reason was actually quite simple.

At that time, the external battlefield was tense, and the Star Empire urgently needed talented individuals from the younger generation who could take charge and turn the tide of battle.

For this purpose, they were willing to lay out military tactics nationwide, conducting strict selection processes, concentrating vast resources on a few individuals to cultivate formidable masters.

In such a severe situation, while those excelling in cultivation were not overlooked, compared to those who could defeat stronger opponents and remain unbeatable within their realm, the cultivation talents seemed somewhat lacking.

In terms of Realm, as long as one is willing, naturally, there are Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and various auxiliary means to enhance it.

However, techniques cannot be rushed; without the process of being forged through a thousand trials and immersed over time, generally speaking, skills cannot reach high levels.

This was the reason why, as soon as Chen Ping made a move, he attracted attention from all sides and was regarded as an extraordinary talent.

Can you imagine, just one simple thrust could evoke an impression of infinite possibilities?

Not only was there no one in the entire school who could withstand the power of that single sword.

Even instructors who came for recruitment with Soul Emergence-level capabilities found themselves unable to resist this intricate thrust without relying on bodies as strong as steel, even with their Ultimate Skills.

When Chen Ping consecutively executed eight swords using the "Basic Eight Techniques," slashing each of the eight instructors at the neck,

everyone lacked even the strength to be shocked.

Looking at Chen Ping was like witnessing a divine being.

There was nothing more to say.

The facts spoke louder than words.

Everyone knew that once this student named "Jiang Fan" caught up in cultivation, when his opponents could no longer rely on their Realm and physique to block his attacks, this one man and his sword would become the most brilliant edge on the battlefield and a nightmare for the enemies.

"Cultivation must proceed without any regard to cost, utilizing the nation’s power to the fullest to nurture him."

As the Venerables from the three academies at the Manifest Saint level came forward, offering terms to recruit this student, who was only at the first level in Meditation’s spiritual achievement, the grand occasion finally came to a close.

Chen Ping accepted the invitation from Ms. Qiu, the principal of the Royal Star Academy, becoming a proud freshman and learning the Star Observation Method.

Within just three short years, his spirit reached endless heights, breaking through to the Soul Emergence level.

During the school anniversary celebration, he defeated all talented students from thirty-six major schools and, under the public eye, felt a connection with the stars, breaking through to the Manifest Saint Realm.

For a moment, a rainbow bridge appeared in the sky, accompanied by the illusionary shadows of dragons and phoenixes celebrating.

Faintly, the cries of myriad demons could be heard.

In the midst of all these complex emotions—of jealousy, reverence, excitement, and sadness—Chen Ping’s soul transformed into a colossal silhouette as vast as a skyscraper, gathering Star Essence Power that was infinitely compressed into a Dharma Aspect.

At this moment, he finally perceived that gateway.

Leaping into the void, his spirit rippled like water waves, passing through a layer of seven-colored light flow, returning anew to the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

"The only regret is not having found Ji Mingyue, Han Xiaoru, and Fang Qingzhu, nor knowing whether they are doing well or if they might be in danger?"

Over these past three years, besides diligently cultivating day and night and battling against talented challengers, Chen Ping also spent a fortune sending out various messages in search of three uniquely spirited girls."

For instance, Han Xiaoru, with her pure and straightforward nature, approached matters head-on; disagreeing with something would lead her straight to conflict, truly a heroine among women.

Such a characteristic female student should have been easy to find.

But precisely because she was so easy to find, he located about a thousand of them, each with her own unique background, making it entirely unclear which one’s soul she might be hidden in.

Chen Ping knew that once they entered this world and became veiled by their original personality and memories, they would no longer remember the slightest bit of their true selves and would solely live according to their original trajectory, learning, growing, and fighting.

Even if he were to stand before them and directly reveal their true identities, they would refuse to believe it.

It was the same situation with Fang Qingzhu and Ji Mingyue.

Finding them was no better than not finding them.

Chen Ping later even spread his Primordial Swordsmanship and Celestial Heart Bright Moon Sword martial arts far and wide under a self-created name.

Yet not one of the girls ever sought him out.

Thus, he understood that the so-called Soul Refinement trial ultimately relied on their own efforts.

No matter how much help he wished to provide, it was beyond his capability.
