True Solution of the Sword Dao

"Sword of the Void, the ultimate awakened state based on the Ye Family bloodline. Forsake the body, forsake the soul, and turn wholly into a sharp sword, cutting through everything," Ye Yuhua said softly as she sat quietly across from Lin Fei.

"Is this what you achieved after breaking through to Class B?" Lin Fei sat opposite her.

Ye Yuhua nodded slowly, "Yes, this is also the primary reason why I could become an elite disciple throughout the Stellar Domain. No second sect can compare to the might of the Stellar Domain. That I can stand above the talents of countless planets and become an elite of the main hall is because of this."

"Does the Sword of the Void have any special attributes? When I wielded it, I felt a special kind of strength that seemed to be magnified through constant twisting and flowing, augmenting my power," Lin Fei seriously lacked understanding of what was known as the strongest sword in the Stellar Domain.

Ye Yuhua bowed her head slightly and said, "I possess the Cutting Attribute, which can easily sever anything facing me without obstruction, as long as the opponent’s strength doesn’t surpass twice the energy you’ve used to activate it."

"Cutting Attribute?" Lin Fei frowned.

"Yes, no matter what kind of power is infused into my body, it will automatically transform into the most suitable form for cutting. From the moment you took possession of me, I will forever follow by your side. Never leaving, never forsaking," a trace of shyness flashed across Ye Yuhua’s face, but she quickly suppressed it. This was the power of the transfer of the Sword Canon contract—Lin Fei had become the most important person in her heart.

Lin Fei fell silent for a while, as if digesting the information he had suddenly received.

The room became quiet.

After a while, Lin Fei spoke again.

"Let’s go, let me test how keen you truly are."

Ye Yuhua nodded gently, stood up, and walked towards Lin Fei. Gradually, her body turned ethereal, and finally, she completely transformed into a delicate longsword several meters in length, hovering in front of Lin Fei.

Lin Fei gazed quietly at the Sword of the Void.

The blade stretched over four meters, almost extending from one end of the room to the other. Its body was slim and narrow, about the width of two fingers put together. It had a silvery hue, with a fine blood groove running down the middle.

The hilt lacked a handguard, just a handle. If one’s hand were to slip forward, it would be easy to cut oneself.

Clink!

The Black Demon Sword suddenly appeared in Lin Fei’s hand and was unsheathed in an instant.

Lin Fei looked at the Black Demon Sword in his hand, then casually brought it down in a slash towards the Sword of the Void.

Crack!

A pitiful scream erupted from the Black Demon Sword. It broke into two halves from the middle. Crimson blood slowly seeped out of the break, like a wound.

The broken sword fell to the ground, writhing as if alive.

"What I cut through wasn’t the blade..." Lin Fei said, frowning.

Ye Yuhua’s voice echoed directly in his heart.

"My lord, the blade of the Sword of the Void represents cutting; anything it touches will be severed automatically, unless the opposing power is greater than what you used to wield the sword."

"My swordsmanship does not require such a long sword. My strength does not require you, a Class-B mighty being, to turn into a sword. Perhaps I will need it in the future, but not now," Lin Fei said calmly.

He flicked the Sword of the Void with his finger.

The longsword rolled, bursting into countless silver light spots that swiftly coalesced into Ye Yuhua’s figure.

"My lord. Whenever you need me, I will be at your disposal," Ye Yuhua said respectfully.

Lin Fei, as if he heard nothing, pushed the door and left.

Exiting the Swordsmanship Club.

Lin Fei roughly estimated the augmentation Ye Yuhua could provide for him.

"If the Sword of the Void is in my hand, my speed combined with the Cutting Attribute should significantly increase my strength. It’s regrettable, however, if Ye Yuhua as a Class-B warrior acts alone, the help would not be much more than this small augmentation. I am just at the entry level of Class B, and even with the augmentation, I would only reach the peak of Class B’s combat power, unable to leap to Class A in one stroke, thus it’s meaningless. What I can handle, I can do so more easily with the Sword of the Void; what I cannot, I still won’t be able to, even with it.

"Now is not the best time for me to hold it."

He suddenly recalled the words of the previous Stellar Domain Master.

"What you need to do now is to find the direction of your own Sword Dao. Persistence without drive is meaningless."

The night streets were empty, with only occasional cars speeding through the middle of the road.

From addressing the Fire God Cult followers to the Blood Sacrifice resurrection of Ye Yuhua, then returning to the Swordsmanship Club, it was already past one in the morning.

Lin Fei had purposefully used a Divine Artifact duplicate to go home as a cover. He didn’t need to worry about the situation at home.

"Sword Canon, does everyone have their own path?" he suddenly asked the Sword Canon Space.

"Please specify your key question."

Lin Fei smiled faintly.

"Does everyone keep walking the path of their own choosing?"

"Key meaning unclear, question cannot be answered," the Sword Canon’s cold voice echoed in Lin Fei’s mind.

"Because of certain reasons, I lack perseverance, I’m afraid that one day in the future, I’ll cower and fear due to my own choices. The path already taken has no value in turning back. Otherwise, it’s just repetition and a waste of time. That’s why I’m hesitating and undecided now."

Lin Fei stopped in his tracks, stood by the roadside, and quietly watched the vehicles speeding past.

"Maybe I need to go through the basics again from the beginning..." He sighed gently, turned, and walked in the direction of the middle school.

*****************

Bright sunlight streamed through the window, forming a golden beam. It made every speck of dust in the air utterly visible.

The crisp chirping of birds came from outside. The temperature was unusually warm.

Lin Fei slowly opened his eyes.

"I haven’t slept this comfortably in a long time," he said, half-sitting up. The indicator light on his phone on the bedside table was still blinking.

"Ever since I got the Sword Canon, it seems I’ve never had a good night’s sleep. Most of the time, even my dreams are filled with automatic cultivation. After I acquired the Dream Eater Divine Artifact, because I could learn and control everything in my dreams, I was reluctant to use it for sleep, so I had even less complete sleep. I didn’t expect to be able to relax completely today."

He felt somewhat melancholic. This life gave him an abnormal sense of reality, a tangible feeling, as if he had returned to the beginning when he was just an ordinary person.

With an effortless motion, he removed the Barrier around him, and Lin Fei slowly got out of bed and stood up.

"My Lord," the voice of the golden robe rang out in his mind.

"What’s the matter?"

"Regarding the organization’s reward and punishment system problem. If we want to truly consolidate gold, the other council members’ opinion is to establish a complete reward and punishment system. Each member needs motivation, the drive to gather their own strength to help others. They are asking for your opinion."

"My opinion?" Lin Fei’s mind flashed through countless pieces of information, and he quickly decided on a plan. "We can use a similar model to the Tower of the Dark Night and Tower of Glory, issuing tasks to members, with the task publisher offering their own payment condition, and those who wish to accept can do so voluntarily, with the organization providing a platform for public certification. We’ll take a fee for this service. Also, if there’s any threat to the organization, all members must contribute most of their strength. Otherwise, they will be treated as traitors and killed.

"These are my thoughts. You can reply to them on my behalf. They can handle the specific details."

He didn’t care about such trivial matters; as long as he kept increasing his own power, everything else would naturally develop in a good direction. Presumably, the other A-level old monsters wouldn’t care about the benefits of these small systemic loopholes either.

"Now we just wait for the battle for Elisa’s Gate to begin. Everyone is on high alert. How much time is left?" Lin Fei asked.

"About a month. The specific news is that anyone with Elisa’s mark can choose up to ten people to be teleported into the battle. Regardless of location, those with the mark can automatically open a Teleportation gate," explained the golden robe.

"A month’s time...that’s enough," Lin Fei said softly, breaking contact with the golden robe.

He quickly put on the clothes he took from the nightstand, took out his phone, and to his surprise, there was a text message. The sender’s name was a foreign one.

Lin Fei frowned slightly and opened the text message. It was a string of English.

"Dear Lin, sorry for the sudden message, but you’re the last resort I can think of now. I’ve got a big deal here, and I need your help. If successful, we’ll gain uncountable wealth and power. I wonder what your opinion is?"

Lin Fei closed the message and swiftly deleted it.

"William, it’s actually him."

He contemplated for a moment, then made a call to Lu Jun to check with Shueisha’s Intelligence Department on the Kaisrunk Group in the United Kingdom.

The Kaisrunk Group was set to be William’s future inheritance and ranked within the top thirty of the global Fortune 500, though their actual assets and wealth were much more substantial than that.

"Now William is actually seeking my help, which clearly indicates that the family conflict has reached a critical point—or even a state of desperation—to remind him of an outsider like me," Lin Fei quickly concluded. "Getting involved now should be the best time to gain the most substantial benefits. It just so happens that I also need a lot of funds now."

"I’ve found it," Lu Jun’s voice came through the phone.

"The Kaisrunk Group’s main shareholder, Kais Justine, passed away on the fifteenth of last month due to illness. His eldest son, William Justine, and second son, Soram Justine, have begun to fight over their father’s shares and wealth. It is said that William Justine has survived three assassination attempts, each by the skin of his teeth, though his right ear was blasted off by a sniper rifle. Although the family struggle seems harmonious on the surface, following a legal course, the contest behind the scenes has escalated."

"Got it," Lin Fei hung up the phone and was silent for a while.

"Still too few usable people..." he murmured, his eyes closing slightly.

He instantly entered the Sword Canon Space.

As soon as he entered the space, the prompt voice directly rang out.

"Space Evolution Degree has reached the critical value. Upgrade now?"

Lin Fei did not immediately answer.

"I need to revive someone, is there enough energy for another person’s revival?" (To be continued. If you enjoy this novel, feel free to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
