“Nine Swords of Flying Star!”

Adams was unable to contain his excitement as he picked up the book in the box.

In this world, the only way to become a powerhouse was to cultivate, and the opportunity was right in front of him!

Adams then took out the photography equipment and pressed the play button based on his previous experience.

A virtual image flashed and Master Charlie suddenly appeared in front of Adams.

“I am Charlie Houston. It is a pleasure to meet you, my successor! Although I am no longer able to see you with my own eyes, I am still elated for this moment!” Master Charlie was extremely amiable as he spoke calmly.

Although he knew that the person before him was just a virtual image, Adams still bowed deeply to show his respect for this powerful cultivator.

Master Charlie continued, “If you are already a cultivator, then you can straightaway start practising the Nine Swords of Flying Star that I’ve created over my entire lifetime. If you haven’t become a cultivator yet, listen carefully! Heaven and Earth have always been filled with three types of incompatible energies: Extreme Yang spiritual energy, unpredictable elements, and extreme Yin and evil demonic energy. The demonic energy within can disturb one’s mind and magnify one’s inner demons. It could turn a cultivator into a monster that is half human and half demon. Therefore, they have been strictly forbidden for use in cultivation. If discovered, they will become the enemy of the entire human race! Spiritual energy and elements are the key to becoming a warrior or a mage. When ordinary people begin cultivating, they have to meditate to sense the energy between Heaven and Earth and then store the energy within their bodies before they can become a cultivator. If one has a higher affinity for spiritual energy, they are suited to become a warrior. If their affinity for elemental energy is higher, then they are suited to become a mage. Therefore, they need a bit of talent!”

Adams faltered upon hearing this, and he hurriedly closed his eyes to begin meditating. However, he wasn’t able to sense anything. He couldn’t help but sigh dejectedly, “Impossible, why can’t I sense anything? Can it be that I don’t have any talent at all?”

Realising that he was just a joke after putting in so much effort, Adams could not accept this outcome!

Master Charlie paused for a moment before continuing, “Of course, if you want to sense the primordial energy through meditation, you will need some assistance in the form of the Crystal of Heaven and Earth that can greatly enhance your senses. I have already prepared one for you. It’s in the quantum ring, with many of my other collections inside. I’m leaving everything to you!”

“Tsk, why didn’t you say so earlier? Master Charlie, you’re being naughty!” Adams felt like he was on an emotional roller coaster as his emotions reached the peak again. Eagerly, he took out the quantum ring from the box and put it on to examine it.

As soon as he saw the amount of storage in the ring, Adams was stunned because there were 10,0000 ten-by-ten metre independent compartments in the ring. Compared to the crude elementary quantum ring on his hand, they were poles apart!

Then, Adams checked on the items in the ring. Other than the Crystal of Heaven and Earth that Master Charlie had mentioned being placed in one compartment on its own, the rest of the items barely filled up one compartment. Apart from some materials and weapons, there were also bottles and jars with unknown uses.

Adams was too lazy to examine the items inside. Raising his head up, he said to the virtual image in front of him, “High-end goods are indeed different! This ring alone is a very precious gift. Thank you, Master Charlie!”

“Eh? Master Charlie, why are you still here?” Adams suddenly noticed that Master Charlie’s projection hadn’t ended even after he had finished explaining how to cultivate. This intrigued Adams.

The image of Master Charlie was silent for a moment before he said with a sigh, “Hah, I really hope you won’t wait until this moment to hear what I have to say next!”

“Holy f*ck, there’re post-credit scenes?” Adams exclaimed in surprise. At the same time, he was looking forward to what Master Charlie would say.

“In actuality, after you practice the Nine Swords of Flying Star, you will slowly realise that this unique martial arts technique actually has another special ability. After you have utilised more of it and experienced more martial arts techniques, you will be able to automatically integrate the essence of other people’s martial arts techniques into your own sword techniques, thereby countering other people’s martial arts techniques. In this way, the Nine Swords of Flying Star will become more and more complicated, and at the same time, it will also become increasingly more powerful. Ultimately, it will become the nemesis of almost all martial arts techniques!

“This is also the reason why I created the Nine Swords of Flying Star. However, this kind of behavior is not tolerated by almost all Cultivators. As long as someone discovers the uniqueness of the Nine Swords of Flying Star, you will face great danger. Therefore, I suggest that you do not reveal that you are a cultivator or conceal your identity as a warrior. Wait till you’re as strong as me before you reveal your strength. At that time, no one will dare to criticize you!” Master Charlie said in mild embarrassment as him saying so much was as good as encouraging his own successor to secretly decipher the martial arts techniques of all the warriors!

Adams let out a sigh from the bottom of his heart and said, “The older, the wiser! I really didn’t expect Master Charlie to have such a sly side to him. Impressive!”

In fact, Adams already had the same idea as Master Charlie after hearing about the uniqueness of the Nine Swords of Flying Star.

Learning the Nine Swords of Flying Star meant that he had a skill that could be stacked infinitely. Therefore, if he wanted to maximize its power, he had to develop it on the sly!

“Ahem! Ahem!”

In the projection, Master Charlie coughed twice before continuing, “I’m sure you’ll think that I’m very sneaky, but I have to tell you that doomsday is coming. Survival is the only kingly way! Work hard, my successor!”

With Master Charlie’s final words, the projection came to an end, leaving Adams to mull over Master Charlie’s words.

When doomsday arrives, survival is the only kingly way!

After Adams repeated his words, he took out a bright fist-sized crystal from his quantum ring. This was the Crystal of Heaven and Earth used to sense primitive energy.

What followed next was the first step to surviving doomsday – Becoming a cultivator!

Adams hugged the Crystal of Heaven and Earth with both hands as he sat on the ground and entered a state of meditation, sensing the changes in his surroundings.

Soon, as Adams’ senses became more and more sensitive, he realised that he didn’t need to open his eyes to see many different-colored and different-sized spots of light floating around him.

Among them, the fist-sized golden specks were the largest in numbers, followed by the dark purple specks. The fewest were the specks of light that were as small as ants.

These golden energy specks that Adams had the highest affinity with, were none other than the pure Yang spiritual energy!

As Adams’ thoughts shifted, the surrounding spiritual energy began to rush into his body. His body was like a quantum ring, opening up a space that was connected to his thoughts. No matter how much spiritual energy he absorbed, it could not be filled up. Finally, it amassed into a golden ocean!

Adams abruptly opened his eyes. A dazzling golden light burst forth from his eyes before it slowly dimmed, leaving only a fine golden line around the edge of his pupils.

This proved that he had already stepped onto the path of a cultivator and had successfully advanced to become a level-one warrior!
