[Sword Dao Points: 24]

Su Xing pushed open the door to his room, walked a few steps to his bedside, and sat on the floor, leaning against the bedframe.

Dusk was approaching, casting a dim light over Su Xing. As he sat beside the bed, a crimson flying sword silently materialized, floating before him.

The Sparrow Sword had changed dramatically from its original form. Its crimson hue had deepened, and the once-plain blade was now far more ornate.

Crimson birds now adorned its surface, appearing to circle a giant egg along the length of the blade.

Just like the Black Sword’s transformation,

the Sparrow Sword was also continuously evolving toward its final form.

It wasn’t just the Sparrow Sword’s appearance that had changed; its power had undergone an earth-shattering transformation, as if it were a completely different weapon.

Previously, the Sparrow Sword’s power had been somewhat lacking. Only when paired with "Qi Sword Stance" could it finish off an opponent or launch a sneak attack. But now, its power was in no way inferior to the Black Sword’s—it was even more formidable! More piercing!

Its only drawback was that the Sparrow Sword wasn’t as sturdy as the Black Sword. If an enemy managed to grab it, they could easily crush it to pieces.

However, the Sparrow Sword was a flying sword coalesced from energy. Even if it were shattered, it wouldn’t stop Su Xing from summoning a second or a third, so it wasn’t a major issue.

This enhancement to the Sparrow Sword

greatly increased Su Xing’s combat effectiveness.

Now, not only was Su Xing’s direct combat prowess formidable, but he also had the Sparrow Sword for sneak attacks, making him impossible for his enemies to defend against.

If Su Xing were to face Cao Qing again, he was confident he could win far more easily than before. All it would take was a single burst from the Sparrow Sword to effortlessly claim his opponent’s head.

At this thought,

Su Xing’s gaze gradually shifted to his Spirit Sword skill.

’Breaking Spirit Sword through to Lv. 6 brought such a significant improvement. I wonder how much of a boost I’ll get from advancing it to the next stage.’

Besides,

the benefits of upgrading Spirit Sword

weren’t just limited to these two swords.

Su Xing could feel that his physical body had hit a bottleneck due to the limitations of his current realm.

’As long as I can break through to the fifth tier and advance Spirit Sword to the next level, I’ll be able to shatter this bottleneck.’

’My physical strength will see an explosive, all-around increase. My overall power will likely multiply several times over in an instant.’

[Spirit Sword lv6 (Max)]

The light blue text on the system panel was tranquil, yet full of temptation.

The glowing blue system panel floated silently before Su Xing, seeming to brighten the dim room. His gaze remained fixed on [Spirit Sword]. Taking a deep breath, he murmured,

"System, add the points!"

As his voice fell, a confirmation window suddenly popped up on the system panel reflected in Su Xing’s pupils.

[Sword Saint Profession System]

[Sword Dao Points: 24]

[Add all Sword Dao Points to Spirit Sword? Yes/No?]

That was right. A Tier Four Sword Skill required twenty-four Sword Dao Points to level up once, equivalent to two or three days’ worth of Su Xing’s income.

While that didn’t seem too bad, the requirements for the fifth tier and beyond would surely become increasingly harsh. The slowing pace of advancement was an unavoidable fact, which made Su Xing value every single power-up even more—especially this one.

"Yes."

Su Xing said with a nod.

The Sword Saint Profession System’s confirmation window vanished in an instant.

Immediately, his Sword Dao Points plummeted. The original twenty-four points were instantly depleted, leaving only a solitary 0, a testament to Su Xing’s latest advancement.

Then,

the words [Spirit Sword] on the system panel began to blur.

The blur was like a twitching distortion. After an unknown amount of time, the text finally stabilized, revealing its new form.

[Your profession skill "Spirit Sword lv6" has advanced to "Profound Sword v1"]

"Profound Sword?"

Su Xing murmured, seeing the new name.

Simultaneously, within Su Xing’s abdomen,

a third sword appeared in an instant, joining the Black Sword and the Sparrow Sword.

This sword was not thick, heavy, and black like the Black Sword, nor light, thin, and red like the Sparrow Sword. Instead, it resembled a stream of fluid—a blue sword that looked as if it were condensed from liquid.

Its formation was different from that of the Black Sword and Sparrow Sword.

The Black Sword had first appeared as a hilt, becoming more complete with each level up. The Sparrow Sword, on the other hand, had started as a flawed item that gradually became whole as its level increased.

This new sword,

Su Xing could sense, was complete from the very beginning. And yet, for some reason, it gave him a distinct feeling of "weakness."

’This "weakness" is probably what future "Profound Sword" upgrades will address.’

Once he figured this out, Su Xing didn’t dwell on it. ’I don’t know why it’s called Profound Sword, but since it’s an upgrade, it has to be stronger.’

Abandoning the train of thought, Su Xing held his breath and focused, bracing for the painful influx of information that was sure to come.

Sure enough, within moments, an unbelievably massive stream of information slammed into Su Xing’s brain.
