Breathe Will, breathe.
Swoosh!
Damn it! Wrong again! Breathe Will, breath.
Swoosh!
Sigh... Wrong again. That wasn't even close!
White was all Will could see, white was what was affecting Will, and white was all Will could think of. The snow falling around him made all of the vegetation fade away into whiteness, blanketed by a myriad of unending snowflakes.
Will was used to seeing snow; it should not have been much of a bother to him under normal conditions. But, unfortunately, he was not under normal conditions. All he had were his thin robes. He didn't even have shoes to cover his feet.
Comfort makes one lose focus, besides, I need to connect with my surroundings. Okay Will, again, breathe.
After breathing in slowly, Will grasped the rusty katana in his hands and swung forward.
Swoosh!
The sheer speed of the strike caused the very air around the young man to tremble. Any normal master of swordsmans

GulpWill couldn't help but swallow some saliva when he saw what the quest was. He had long been aware that the system would give out 'Quests' on special occasions from time to time, but he would never have thought that the first quest he got would be so difficult.True Strike!Boom!That phrase was deeply embedded in Will's mind, for it was a technique from the Solitary Sword Sovereign cultivation manual. However, it was at a stage that was so profound Will could only understand the technique's name. He barely understood anything else.The manual had given Will a plethora of information, and Will could barely make sense of it. It wasn't just difficult to understand, it also felt as if it wasn't in order. Techniques that were more powerful than the true strike itself were much easier to understand, yet simpler techniques like the true strike were sometimes more difficult to understand.This information was given to Will in the form of
Solitary Sword Sovereign True Cultivation
Will could sense it, but he also could not touch it. He could feel it but he also felt as if it wasn't there. It was both tangible and intangible at the same time. Such was the existence called the Soul.Minutes turned into hours, hours turned into days and days turned into weeks. All Will did was meditate constantly. The originally boring and mundane activity had turned into a realm of new discoveries for Will.Nearly every day he was discovering something new about his body. Something he didn't know about or didn't think was possible. It took time, but eventually, Will was finally able to accomplish one of his objectives. He was able to control some of his Soul Force!He felt like a child learning how to ride a bike, except he had never seen anyone ride. All he had ever done was hear that it was a mode of transport.Such was exactly the situation Will was facing.Since he had no teacher and barely any knowledge, all Will could do was fumble a

Sword Intent. Will wasn't quite sure what this was, or what it could do. All he knew was that this was necessary for a true strike to occur. According to the SSS manual, a true strike needed three things; technique, intent, and qi. Will was first polishing his technique because as far as he was concerned that was the easiest to do. However, it was also the most time-consuming.The only way to improve one's technique in Will's situation was to practice. So for who knows how long, Will had been doing ten thousand repetitions of the same sword strokes over and over again. Seasons came and went. As far as he could tell this was the third time it was snowing, so Will was guessing that he had spent three years practicing.It wasn't all boring. As soon as Will started to practice, Modus started sending Will some 'guests'."Roar!"A deafening roar echoed out across the snowy flatlands. It was so violent that the trees nearby Shook's and the snow that had collecte
Solitary Sword Sovereign A New Challenger Arrives!
For the past few years, Modus had been sending Will opponents in the form of beasts almost every day. Modus had not revealed himself to Will, and no matter how much Will asked he never got a response. They were all E+ and all quite powerful. Will had nearly been caught by the jaws of death quite a few times already.At first, he had been quite reliant on bloodlust and radiant energy. Healing himself from life-threatening wounds every day. However, as his experience and yuan increased in quality so did his ability. Assuming a year has four seasons; Will estimated that it had been at least six seasons since he had last used bloodlust and three seasons since he had last used radiant energy.Although he didn't need bloodlust Will still got injured, even till today, however, he wanted to avoid relying on the crutch that was radiant energy knowing he could heal himself from nearly any injury made Will careless in battle. Will did not want himself to get used to such a style

...[Helios Warhawk: A messenger of doom toward most creatures, it has incredible speeds and a near impenetrable defense. Feeds on water type creatures and has long range fire attacks. Is one of the rulers of the E rating and is the strongest E+ creature within the skies.Rating: E+Class: Sector Boss (Multiple)]"Oh fuck me." Will could not help but sigh in resignation."High defense, high speed, virtually immune to water type attacks, is a long-range creature. It's like it was designed to fight me! Fuck you Modus!"The bird was not that large. Normally that would be a good thing but in this situation, it was a problem because it made for a much more difficult target to hit. For flying creatures, the smaller it is the more mobile it becomes.As Will was busy cursing, the Warhawk stopped its flight and calmly positioned itself right above Will. Due to the fact that it was an intelligent creature, it was possible to show expressions just
Solitary Sword Sovereign Intent
Once the remnant flakes of snow had settled, Will stood up and a lot of damage was visible on his body. Blood was dripping from the corners of his mouth and his chest showed three massive diagonal gashes that were revealing bloody flesh underneath.If I had not put up the water wall up in time that would have been the end of me.It wasn't as if Will did not see signs of the bird moving. Due to his dual mind ability, Will had no blind spots in his vision. Every single minute movement the bird made from a little ruffle on its stony skin to a flicker of its fire mane was clearly visible to Will and was being processed. Unfortunately, even if he could see the attack coming, his body could not react in time.Luckily I can move water faster than I can move my body.Will quickly covered his frontal wounds with ice to stop the bleeding and looked at his opponent. It was not polite enough to wait for Will to attack. Will could tell with one look that it was getting
Solitary Sword Sovereign Truly Sharp!
As he stood there on a ground blanketed in snow Will had a sudden thought, an epiphany if you will. Killing intent was the aura his body released when he intended to kill a bit. The more he intends to do so, the more killing intent his body would release. It was because of this that Will came upon an idea.Killing intent is for when you want to kill something. Swords were made to kill. In other words, sword intent should not be much different from killing intent, right? Ah...wait...no it can't be that simple. Killing is the connection, but sword intent itself has to be unique.As Will's mind kept going through a multitude of thoughts, he released the restraint he had placed upon his killing intent. Due to the fact that he was still unfamiliar with such actions, Will couldn't control how much killing intent leaked out, but this was merely for a fraction of a second. This was not his intention, but it was very beneficial for him because it stopped the movements of the He

..."Woah!"With an abrupt shout, Will woke up from the land of dreams. He could barely remember what had happened before he had lost consciousness, so he looked around to see what had occurred.As he started to take in his surroundings, Will felt something he had not felt in a long time; fatigue. Not fatigue of the body, but the fatigue of the mind. All of his 64 minds could barely concentrate on anything at all right now. Let alone think, he could barely even take in his surroundings.As he was lying down, Will's weak mind decided to simply cultivate, to recover the lost mental energy that had been launched. After cultivating for what seemed like many hours, Will's mind finally achieved its prime state. He started to remember what had previously happened.After he had killed the Helios Warhawk, even though exp had entered his figure, his body had started feeling weak all of a sudden.

Getting Ready
Swoosh!A humanoid silhouette was sliced in two instantly, its body parts falling to the ground as if they had been lifeless, to begin with."Hah."Next, to the body, a young man sighed in relief. He was of a medium build, less than average height, with dark hair, brown eyes, and a light brown skin tone.Normally a person his age should be filled with the vigorous nature of youth, however, this young man appeared somewhat more mature. His heaving chest and deep breaths revealed that he was tired.His expression displayed indifference, his faced hardened by constant battle. He was brandishing a sword, the edge of the blade covered in blood.Surrounding him, there were approximately 50 or so corpses littering the floor."Damn, these guys didn't give me enough experience! These demons are too weak; I just wasted five minutes for nothing!"After muttering to himself the man, returned his katana to its scabbard and checked his body, to ensure he was all in one piece. He was pleased with th

...As Will traversed the tunnel, he met a variety of different monsters, each troublesome in their own way. Yet, despite their formidability, each time Will fought he would adapt and achieve victory. The same applied even for the last batch of creatures he had to fight. Humanoid creatures that had blades as arms and an eel-like head. They were called gagan and had an E+ rank. Despite their rank, one was not that much for Will to handle, and a group was also easy to deal with.The Gagan were humanoid both in form and in nature, their team battle tactics were worthy of praise as far as Will was concerned. Their ability to use spaces and their communication was uncanny. All Will heard was something akin to squealing. Nevertheless, these squeals were definitely more than they seemed. The Gagan did not have any extra abilities besides having a tough exterior and being very nimble.Their blade-like limbs made for effective weapons, but there was no weapon that could pose less danger to Wil

What a Man Does for Big Butt's...
...The first opening was an important event, particularly because it determined ones future cultivation path. Many warriors did countless hours of research and searched for areas with the most ideal locations for a breakthrough. Some even had so many resources they had access to places where world energy was so dense it liquefied.Since one's first opening decided their future path, it was crucial. Will had used his first opening to comprehend not an ability, not a technique, but an intent, and from one of the five constitutional base elements at that! Such an achievement was absurd. This had without a doubt meant that Will's path along the Dao of water would be smooth sailing if he trained hard enough. Little did Adelda know that Will did far more than just understanding a bit about water intent...At some point, Will had opened his eyes and had walked out of the water. His eyes were shining with incredible vigor and his entire temperament had changed. Aside from the obvious bruises

...Spiritual veins were veins that transported energy from the pores on the skin, to and all around the body. Meridians, on the other hand, were broad valve-like checkpoints that existed in the complex network of spiritual veins. There were actually thousands of spiritual veins, but only 20 of such meridians.Places, where spiritual veins intersected, were called acupoints. One could freely operate one's acupoints to assist in directing energy, but meridians were different.There were two types of meridians, called the Eight Gates and the TwelveDoors, respectively.How many meridians you had unsealed at birth was a measure of your cultivation talent. Especially your Gates: the more you trained, the more Doors you could open. The number of Gates however never changes, you are stuck with that number for life.In the beginning, Will had six Doors that were unsealed and five unsealed Gates.Each of the Doors was trait less and thus

At the bottom of the lake formed at the base of the waterfall, was an underwater cave. Within that cave was a young man, dutifully training his sword technique. This cave did not exist when Will first arrived here; he had dug it out to make it his temporary home.The creatures above ground were far too strong for him to fight constantly. Will had no idea where Modus had sent him, but he knew this was definitely a higher level area. The average creature here could easily give the Storm Wolf King a good fight.Thus Will decided to create a hideout for him to rest after a good day's adventuring. The inside of the cave was large, about 800 meters in diameter. The entrance to the cave itself was not that large and was usually frozen shut. Will would only create an opening while he was leaving or entering.Within the cave was a small lake with a somewhat large patch of land in the middle. From above the ground, it looked like the letter O with the water constant

.."Fuck off!"Swoosh!It took nothing more than an instant, and yet, at that moment, a creature with an E+ rating was beheaded by Will, its existence passed off as if he was swatting a fly.Will was running with all his might. He had been moving so fast that he could barely tell what the creature was. Even the usual notification that the system gave hadn't reached his eyes. All he had seen had been a weak, furry, humanoid obstruction, so he had taken care of it.With a frantic expression, Will ran forward as fast as he could within the jungle. From time to time he would come across a 'powerful' creature, but like the ape-monster from before, it would be greeted by Will's sword and sudden darkness.Will did not care who or what he ran into. Be it a creature, trees, rocks or any other obstruction within his path, he would merely swing his sword and make way. All his focus was on trying to make sure he was going in a straight line.

Splitting The Earth
...As Will heard Modus mention intent, he could not help but gulp. This is what he had been waiting for. He more or less understood energy, so Modus' explanation on that was Will's secondary objective. His real target was to hear Modus talk about intent. However, thanks to his explanation Modus had answered a few of the questions that had been pestering Will. Yet, even more, questions were created."Intent is very difficult to describe or explain, especially to those who have not yet experienced it. However, luckily you have quite an experience with it already. It's just that you did not realize It." said Modus with a cheeky grin.At this point, Will had more or less recovered quite a bit so he was able to sit up straight. Even as he sat up, his eyes and focus never stopped payingattention to Modus."Wait...could it be bloodlust?" said Will with some uncertainty."Exactly! Well done. To be honest you were very close to that conclusio

...Under normal circumstances, if one were to be compared to an animal, one would be offended or displeased to some extent. Modus had done the exact same thing to Will, and had compared him to a dog no less!Despite this seemingly cruel comparison, Will realized that Modus had been quite generous in implying that he was a dog. As far as Will was concerned even if he had been called an ant Will would still have felt that Modus was justified. Such was the gap between an Immortal such as Modus and Will."This is indeed a difficult question, thus in order to solve that problem the system was created. We, the intelligent, would forcibly teach you, the dog, how to read and write. For that to happen we have to make you evolve first. That is the purpose of the system. To speed up the evolution of mankind across the universe and bring out its true potential."After a while Modus had revealed what Will felt few people would know. This was without doubt valuable info
