Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Oasis opened his eyes. He could feel the surge of power within him, his body now brimming with strength and vitality. "I feel like I've regained all my strength," he thought, flexing his fingers and rotating his healed shoulder.But a pang of regret hit him as he remembered Kaze no Kagutsuchi, his trusted sword, left behind in the valley.The realization stung, but he knew he had to let it go for now. "Too bad I lost my sword," he muttered to himself, his thoughts drifting back to the battle.Shaking off the regret, Oasis focused on the time he had within the Celestial Garden Sphere."I’ll be in here for two years, which is just two days outside," he mused, the oddity of time in this space both a blessing and a challenge.He clenched his fist, determination surging through him. "I have to get stronger by the time I leave this place."The weight of his mission bore down on him."I'm too weak for the mission. A lackey almost killed me; then wh

Wasting no time, Oasis moved inside the building. He boiled more vegetables, quickly eating to regain some energy, and then he sat down to study the Heavenly Slicing Technique.As he read through the manual, the intricacies of the technique began to unfold before him.This was not just a sword technique, nor was it bound to a single element.It was a method of manifesting mana into razor-sharp strings that extended from the fingertips, capable of slicing through anything when mastered.The technique was versatile, adapting to the elemental affinity of the user—whether fire, water, wind, or any other element, it would mold itself accordingly.The more Oasis read, the more he understood the profound potential of the technique.His mind began to form a poem, capturing the essence of what he was learning:Strings of mana, born from thought, Fingers weave what steel cannot. Elemental threads, sharp as a blade, In silence, they dance, in shadows, they wade.Fire’s sear or water’s grace, Win

"Huh? I can’t catch it… What kind of force is this? But this brat’s strength should only amount to the Tabula-Rasa Realm," he thought, his mind racing as the dagger closed in on him.At the last moment, Rurik tilted his head slightly, the dagger whizzing past his ear by a hair’s breadth."You missed, brat!" he mocked, a grin spreading across his face as he continued his charge.!!!But then, he noticed something that made his blood run cold."Huh? What is this string attached to my dagger?" Rurik thought as he glanced down, noticing a thin string of mana connected to the weapon that had just passed him.He looked back at the dagger, which was still moving, and then back at Oasis, who was now veering to his left.Oasis’s speed was terrifying, leaving Rurik struggling to keep up as the young martial artist’s movements blurred.The mana string, still attached to the dagger, was being pulled taut as Oasis moved, leaving Rurik caught in the middle.Oasis's speed was terrifying, and Rurik c

After the meal, Oasis, the city lord Cedric Valen, Captain Garven, and the city lord’s son made their way to Lord Valen’s private office.The room was simple at first glance, but as Lord Valen tapped a button on the wall, a hidden door slid open, revealing a spacious chamber beyond.This room was clearly designed for strategic planning, with a large round table at the center.Upon it lay a massive scroll and a detailed map of the Dawnhail region, marked with key locations linked to their plans for dealing with the Crimson Hand.Oasis’s sharp eyes scanned the room."So, he's been preparing for this," he thought, impressed by the thoroughness of the setup.As they took their seats around the table, Lord Valen observed Oasis carefully."When I requested help from the Lunaris sect, I didn't expect them to send someone so young," the city lord mused silently, trying to mask his doubts."But this kid is fascinating—so calm and composed for someone who hasn’t even come of age."Breaking the

As they walked together toward the exit, Teves kept sneaking glances at Oasis, clearly impressed.Oasis’s unassuming nature made it easy to forget that he was the same young man who had justorchestrated an intricate strategy to bring down a powerful criminal organization.Teves, full of nervous energy, eventually worked up the courage to speak."You’re amazing, you know that?" he blurted out, his voice filled with admiration.Oasis smiled slightly, shaking his head. "I’m just doing what needs to be done."But to Teves, Oasis wasn’t just doing what needed to be done—he was a living embodiment of the hero he aspired to be.Back in Lunalith, within the Bluemoon Estate of the Lunaris Sect,Zane Bluemoon was walking gracefully along the newly expanded pathways, taking in the sight of bustling servants and disciples moving about.He noted the unfamiliar faces scattered around the estate. "Already new people? What’s going on here?" he mused, curiosity piqued.After a few moments, Zane arriv
