Devour: Can you also draw entries from clone projection worlds?

What about your own weaknesses?

You thought about the problem again, but still couldn't figure it out.

It's not because you have no flaws, but because you haven't been truly "seen" by anyone yet.

The biggest advantage of being invisible is that no one knows where your weakness lies, because you have no presence at all.

You pick up the axe and keep chopping wood, not caring about any flaws or imperfections, just finish chopping the wood first.

Another winter has come. You sit in the old spot on the back mountain, watching the distant mountains covered in white snow. This is the sixth time you have spent winter in this world.

Six years is neither a long nor a short time. Since your second projection, you have almost re-entered the threshold of first-class. You are still in the early stage of first-class, but you are just a "transparent master" with ten white entries and one green entry.

You didn't expect that your cultivation speed would drop so much after you stepped into the first-class category.

Fortunately, it will be the seventh year in a few days, and you can continue to draw entries. You're mentally planning where to draw this time.

The experience from the first six draws tells you that the keywords you get are closely related to the context in which they are drawn.

The inscription I drew on the back of Mount Hua was "Early to bed and early to rise," which was quite ordinary; the inscription I drew in front of the cliff of reflection was "Photographic memory," which was interesting; and the inscription I drew at Liu Zhengfeng's house was "Heart of stone," which would be very useful in a critical moment.

The skill I drew in Fuzhou City was "Danger Perception • Beginner", which was very useful; the skill I drew at the Songshan Sect Alliance Conference was "Insight into the World • Beginner", which was simply divine; and the skill I drew while accompanying Linghu Chong on the Cliff of Contemplation was "Knowledge of People • Beginner", which had quite good potential.

Of course, compared to the same white entries, the quality has not improved in the slightest.

Following this trend, you should find a place more important than the Songshan Sect Alliance Conference, and more unique than the Cliff of Contemplation, to draw your seventh time.

What place is more important than the Songshan Sect Alliance Conference?

After thinking for a while, a place popped into my mind: Blackwood Cliff.

The place where Dongfang Bubai died, the headquarters of the Sun Moon Cult, the place where the world's strongest warrior perished in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.

The "importance" of that place should be no less than that of the Songshan Sect Alliance Conference.

But the question is, what can you do there?

Blackwood Cliff is the headquarters of the Sun Moon Cult, heavily guarded. You can't easily sneak in. Even if you do get up there, it would be risky for your top-notch skills if you were discovered.

You shook your head, suppressing the thought. You can't go to Blackwood Cliff, at least not for now; it's too dangerous.

[Then let’s settle for the next best thing, which place is both important and safe?

You thought about it for a long time and came up with a place: the Lin family's old house in Fuzhou.

The hiding place of the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual is the source of all stories in the world of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.

That place is just as important as Blackwood Cliff, and it's also very safe.

The Evil-Repelling Sword Manual has been taken away by Yue Buqun, and the Lin family's old residence is now an empty house with no one to guard it.

You can go there to extract entries without being discovered, and it won't affect the plot.

It's practically perfect.

You stood up, brushed the snow off your clothes, and started walking down the mountain.

It took you several days to get from Huashan to Fuzhou. You didn't travel very fast along the way, since you had plenty of time.

Fuzhou city hasn't changed much from a few years ago; it's still the same street, the same shops, and the same people coming and going.

The Lin family's old house is even more dilapidated than it was a few years ago. The lanterns at the entrance are long gone, a layer of dust has settled on the door panels, and thick moss has grown on the steps.

You pushed open the half-closed door and went inside. The courtyard was overgrown with weeds, the tables and chairs in the main room were crooked, and there were several mouse footprints on the altar.

You walk through the main hall to the Buddhist hall at the back. The Buddhist hall is not large, with a Buddha statue in the center. The incense burner in front of the Buddha statue is empty.

You looked up at the roof, where the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual used to be hidden, but now there's nothing there.

You found a corner in the Buddhist hall, sat down, closed your eyes, and did not meditate or practice any exercises. You simply sat quietly, feeling the atmosphere of this place.

A family that lost its entire members, a place coveted by the entire martial arts world, and a sword manual that drives countless people mad.

The "importance" of this place lies not in how grand or bustling it is, but in how many people's desires, ambitions, and bloodshed it has borne.

You stayed at the Lin family's old residence for three days, practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard during the day and meditating in the Buddhist hall at night. On the third night, you opened the entry extraction interface.

[After seven years, the entry selection process begins...]

[Host detected in the core area of ​​the storyline, "Fuzhou City • Lin Family Old Residence", the origin of the "Evil-Repelling Sword Manual" incident...]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the green entry: Sword Heart Clarity • Initial]

[Effect: Significantly enhances understanding and control of swords. Increases the ability to perceive the sword's "movement" and "intention" more clearly, resulting in faster, more accurate, and less strenuous strikes. Guaranteed 50% increase in learning speed for sword techniques.]

[Note: This entry is upgradable and can automatically evolve into a higher quality entry after certain conditions are met.]

[Current Quality: Green Rare]

You stared at this entry for a long time, stunned.

Green! Finally, green!

The unexpected surprise makes you want to scream with excitement, but the combined effect of ten years of hard work through two projections forces you to hold back, only repeatedly confirming in your mind: "It's not white, it's a rare green keyword?!"

"Sword Heart Clarity • Beginning" greatly enhances one's understanding and control of the sword, making sword strikes faster, more accurate, and less strenuous, and guaranteeing a 50% increase in sword learning speed.

If this thing were placed in the world of Swordsman, it would be like having a cheat code, an outrageously overpowered cheat code.

Others practice swordsmanship by relying on a master's instruction, time to hone their skills, and their own understanding and comprehension.

When you practice swordsmanship, with the blessing of "Sword Heart Clarity," your learning speed will increase by at least half.

In addition, with the 30% growth speed bonus from the "Body Refining Genius" skill, your sword training efficiency is at least twice that of others.

More importantly, it describes "the perception of the sword's 'movement' and 'intention'" in a very mysterious way, referring to the sword's movement and intention.

You don't quite understand what it means, but you feel that you will understand when you actually use it.

You carefully put the entry away and let out a long sigh of relief.

After seven years, you finally got a green-level entry, and you even drew it yourself at the Lin family's old house. This shows that your initial judgment was correct: the more important the scene, the higher the quality and effect of the entry is likely to be.

You didn't get to Blackwood Cliff, but the Lin Family Old House scene already drops green rare stats. What about Blackwood Cliff? Can it drop blue or even purple stats?

Suppress this thought, don't think about it for now, just keep it firmly in mind for the time being, and focus on making good use of what's in front of you first.

Immediately, you couldn't wait to start testing the effects of "Sword Heart Clarity • Initial".

He picked up his sword and casually used the move "Welcoming Guests from the Pine Tree," the first move in the basic sword techniques of Mount Hua. He had practiced it thousands of times and could perform it with his eyes closed.

But this time, it felt different.

The moment the sword is drawn, you feel the change. It's not that the power has increased, nor that the speed has increased, but that the sword itself has become more "obedient".

In the past, when you drew your sword, you were the one directing it; the sword was merely your tool.

Now, when I draw my sword, it seems as if the sword can anticipate where I'm going to stab. The trajectory of the sword is smoother, the force is applied more smoothly, and the vibration of the sword is much less when I retract it.

This is not an illusion!
