The ability of "Blade Intent" is actually a special skill that players of the Blademaster profession unlock upon reaching Lv30, and its function has three aspects.
First, it increases all damage dealt by the Blademaster by 30%. Second, it causes the Blademasterās attacks to include mental will damage, no longer being purely physical blades. Third, which Wang Zhifan only discovered after mastering this ability, Blade Intent causes the Blademaster to awaken a special effect according to their own will.
For example, the special effect Wang Zhifan just awakened in the Profound Mysterious Secret Mansion was the Slaughter side effect, Destruction: Targets harmed by your Blade Intent have extreme difficulty recovering from injuries or resurrecting in any form unless the strength of the existence causing this effect far exceeds yours.
This special effect can be simply understood as prohibiting healing and resurrection, which can be very effective against specific types of enemies, and Wang Zhifan feels it is good enough.
Itās also noteworthy that, because the special effect of Blade Intent is related to the personal will of the Blademaster, it is not actually fixed but can change with the Blademasterās cultivation realm, and even relates to the Blademasterās personal mindset. It can be considered a dynamic growth ability.
"Blade Intent doesnāt appear on my panel as a skill right now; it seems to be classified under the Cultivation Technique category, similar to my Dream Me Avatar, Dream Splendor Blade Light, Dreaming Entry, Dream Breaking, Dream Transformation Grand Thousand."
Looking at the panel heās called up before him, Wang Zhifan becomes increasingly aware of the profound significance represented by "Great Dream Saber Scripture Lv5." It appears as only a few words but represents more than half of his strength as a Blademaster, implying a series of skills he possesses. Itās fair to say reaching this level was far from simple, a result of personal effort complemented by external advantages.
While pondering, he releases a Dream Me Avatar to the current bedroom, then effortlessly manipulates this avatar to pass through walls, through the villa, reaching the flowerbed beside the manorās front.
Then he sees himself controlling this avatar to perform an operation he could never manage before:
This avatar slowly bends down, reaches out to pick a pink begonia from the flowerbed, and holds it in his hand, then looks at the flower in his hand and begins reciting a poem, "Flowers will bloom again one day, but youth never returns."
While this action may seem insignificant to others, for his avatar, itās a significant advance because he can now control it to construct a physical form and even speak normally, no longer the previously easy-to-expose mute illusion form.
"Although using these two abilities increases the consumption of power allocated to the avatar, the progress brought by the level advancement of Great Dream Saber Scripture is meaningful, allowing me to perform more operations in the future. The mysterious and bizarre nature of the Great Dream Saber Scripture will become more evident."
With a simple experiment of the new ability of the Dream Me Avatar, Wang Zhifan retracts it back into his dream. Though he knows his avatar has also gained significant improvements in other aspects, like enhanced combat power, heās too lazy to test it. There will be plenty of opportunities later, or rather, they will soon be here.
"Itās time for the daily dungeon run. I havenāt given myself much leisure time these past few days, so letās make a good mess in the dungeon."
Wang Zhifanās attitude toward dungeons has now shifted to this form; he no longer sees dungeon runs as mere practice but returns to the original intent of the game, treating them as a way to entertain himself. Those who donāt understand him might think heās grown arrogant, but those who do know heās adjusted to an optimal state.
"Spirit is very replenished, the meal prepared by Yali and Yi Lin yesterday was rich, not hungry at all right now, and the reserves in the space are well-stocked... seems I just need to change into gear and Iām set."
Although he treats the dungeons in the transcendent game as entertainment, Wang Zhifan remains careful, conducting a routine check of his preparations before initiating the dungeon, disappearing from the bedroom.
[Dungeon Objective: Choose and join any side among the Chaotic Realm of 48 Countries and help that country defeat others to achieve dominance.]
[Note: The punishment barrier mechanism will be lifted during this dungeon.]
[Detected as a VIP player, initializing your dungeon identity...]
[Your dungeon identity is set as: The New King of Feng Country.]
[The New King of Feng Country: Feng Country is one of the small countries in the Chaotic Realm of 48 Countries. Recently, the royal family of Feng Country unexpectedly perished, leaving no legitimate heir. You are recognized by Feng Countryās ministers as the sole descendant of the royal family and hastily ascend the throne.]
In a blink, Wang Zhifan finds himself in a large hall with a primitive, even somewhat coarse appearance. This hall is made entirely of soil and stone, with a mud floor and whitewashed walls, featuring a somewhat ancient style.
He is currently sitting on a somewhat uncomfortable yellow wood chair, facing a slightly bowed, standing elderly man in gray robe around sixty years of age, who appears somewhat worried. Further in front, by the hallās entrance, stand two armored guards.
"Great King! The Xin Family has rebellious intentions. Please be vigilant and do not leave the royal hall lightly."
