My Sword Intent Can Be Infinitely Improved

Chapter 227 - 227: Just Deduce the Entire Closed-loop World (2)

“Your strength will be further enhanced, and perhaps you can be of some assistance tonight,” the old Daoist said, taking out seven pills.

[Qi Refining Pill – First Layer] Status: Temporary

Level: First Stage, Four Dimensions

Quality: Low-grade

Function: Unlocks the cultivation level of the first layer of Qi Refining after consumption

Limitation: Effective only within the duration of “Closed -Loop World: Survive

One Day.”

Receiving the pills from the old Daoist, they all consumed them and immediately gained the power of the first layer of Qi Refining.

At the same time, they received a new task: to hunt down a Level 2 Qi Refining boar demon.

According to Cao Tianle’s past experiences, as long as they can bring back the heart blood and demon core of the Level 2 Qi Refining boar demon, their strength will once again be elevated.

In Su Yang’s perspective, a new karma thread emerged at this time, indicating that the Level 2 Qi Refining boar demon had reappeared.

Exiting the room of the injured old Daoist, the group began to discuss how to deal with the Level 2 Qi Refining boar demon.

“Before, we always suffered casualties when dealing with the Level 2 Qi

Refining boar demon because our mana is limited. We can only use one spell. Now, with an extra person, maybe we won’t experience casualties again,” Cao Tianle spoke with excitement.

Losing one person less would make a significant difference in a major battle. It increased their chances of survival.

But Su Yang looked somewhat strange. Limited mana?

“Do you mean you have to slowly recover your mana?” Su Yang couldn’t help but ask, making Cao Tianle smile bitterly, “Sovereign Su, you may not know, but right now, we only possess the power of the first layer of Qi Refining. So, the capacity and recovery rate of our mana are both at the level of the first layer of Qi Refining. You’ll understand if you try it.”

Su Yang felt a momentary expenditure of his sword intent, which was then replenished, and he couldn’t help but wonder if he was somehow different.

So, could he use sword techniques limitlessly, just like in the outside world?

At the first layer of Qi Refining, his sword intent would be at LVI. But even with limitless use of LVI sword intent, it shouldn’t be sufficient to contend with a second layer of Qi Refining.

At this point, Su Yang had an idea. It seemed that as long as he could grow a little in this closed-loop world, he could start dominating.

Using LVI sword intent to deal with the most powerful beings might not work, considering the vast gap in power between a Level 6 Qi Refining demon and a LVI sword intent.

Even if he could use sword techniques limitlessly, it would be pointless if he couldn’t break through the defenses of a Level 6 Qi Refining demon.

Dealing with the most formidable demons might not be feasible, but in this closed-loop world, his growth would be rapid. There wouldn’t be any mission segments that could hold him back; he could bypass them all.

Take, for example, the task of dealing with the Level 2 Qi Refining boar demon. Cao Tianle and his group might need to devise various strategies, be cautious about mana consumption, and so on.

Would Su Yang need to consider all that? Under the influence of limitless sword techniques, a mere realm difference hardly counted as a disadvantage.

“Alright, I understand. But I might be a little different from you.”

“Everyone’s circumstances are different. A slight difference is perfectly normal,” Cao Tianle replied with a smile, not too concerned.

Different?

A slight difference is perfectly normal, but how much of a difference could there be?

After the conversation, they set off once again towards Bai Mang Mountain.

Although there were still four karma threads pointing to events in the Liu Family Village, Su Yang didn’t rush to explore them. According to Cao Tianle, there would be a two-hour window after they killed the boar demon, during which the injured old Daoist would refine the boar demon’s heart blood and demon core to create pills that would boost their strength. They would have two hours to explore freely.

During this time, Su Yang could take the opportunity to investigate the other four karma threads pointing within the village.

With a clear plan in mind, the group quickly continued their journey. After walking for some time, they arrived at the Wild Boar Forest on Bai Mang Mountain.

Because Cao Tianle and the others had acted here many times before, they were very familiar with the area and easily located the Level 2 Qi Refining boar demon’s location.

After pinpointing its location, Cao Tianle began to plan tactics. However, Su Yang straightforwardly said, “This is too troublesome; let’s just go ahead and attack.”

“I’m a little different from you guys, and I should be able to take down this Level 2 Qi Refining boar demon single-handedly.”

“Uh… Su Daoist, it’s better not to act recklessly in situations like this. After all, if we fail, we’ll waste another day,” Cao Tianle advised, slightly concerned about Su Yang’s words.

The others also didn’t have much faith in Su Yang’s idea of single-handedly taking on a Level 2 Qi Refining boar demon. In battles between human cultivators and demon beasts at the same realm, human cultivators usually weren’t at an advantage because demon beasts had extraordinarily sturdy bodies. Human cultivators in the Qi Refining stage often had limited mana and their spells were less potent, to the point where they couldn’t even break through the skin of a demon beast at the same realm.

In this situation, they naturally didn’t think highly of Su Yang’s idea of single-handedly taking on a Level 2 Qi Refining boar demon.

Su Yang didn’t explain further and simply unleashed a series of Thunderous Roar attacks. Although LVI Thunderous Roar had limited power, it was still sufficient to easily shatter a tree..
