Speaking of which, he had just experienced an intense battle in the sword mark space. In reality, it was a battle of consciousness. The flow of time was completely different from what he had perceived, and it had only taken him less than a second.
After the first battle, Lin Huang did not immediately choose a target for the second battle. Instead, he summarized the experience of the first battle.
"As I expected, the opponents in the sword mark space are the best among their peers in terms of Sword Intent and Sword Skills. I estimate that they are at least at the level of a four-star monster, and their talent is comparable to that of an average Protoss.
"The depth of the sword mark should have nothing to do with strength. It might be related to the nature of the Sword Intent and the individual's personality.
"However, I was able to use brute force to win the first battle. This means that this trial does not have a strict combat style. As long as I can win, I can use any Sword Dao technique. I don't need to use a corresponding method to break the opponent's techniques one by one.
"However, the stronger the opponent, the harder it is to use brute force to break the opponent's technique. After all, my Sword Dao and combat strength have been suppressed to the same level as my opponent. It's a competition of Sword Dao accumulation, combat experience, and combat thinking. I'm only slightly stronger than my opponent.
"In the following battles, it's best to break the opponent's techniques one by one. This is also a process of accumulating combat experience and training combat thinking. After all, a battle of consciousness, even if it lasts for ten days to half a month, will only take a moment outside. It won't take up much time. "
After concluding, Lin Huang looked up at the sword mark on the cliff.
The hairline sword mark that he had used to clear the stage no longer emitted any Sword Dao aura.
He quickly chose his second target.
It was an extremely deep sword mark, as if the tip of a blade had been inserted directly into the rock wall. It was at least twenty to thirty centimeters deep.
After probing it with his Divine Telekinesis, Lin Huang's consciousness was once again dragged into the sword mark space.
This time, Lin Huang's opponent was a man with an extremely sharp aura, like an unsheathed sword.
This man's attack speed was extremely fast, and he was extremely good at stabbing.
This battle lasted for more than half an hour in the sword mark space before Lin Huang finally killed his opponent.
It was not because his opponent was strong enough to fight with Lin Huang for half an hour, but because Lin Huang considered that he also had many stabbing sword moves, so he had been secretly learning his opponent's sword skills during the battle.
After a round of battle, Lin Huang had indeed gained some benefits. After all, his opponent specialized in this area.
In the subsequent battles, as long as Lin Huang encountered a Saber Intent that interested him, he would do the same. He would let his opponent display their Saber Skills and Saber Intent to the extreme, learning what was suitable for him from his opponent.
Fortunately, after each battle, as long as Lin Huang's consciousness returned to his body, the fatigue in his consciousness would instantly disappear.
This was probably a special effect that Swordfiend Abyss bestowed upon trial-takers.
After every battle, Lin Huang didn't really need to rest, but he would still close his eyes for a while to digest what he had learned from the battle before starting the next battle.
Just like that, it took him about four hours to complete more than a thousand Nuance trials.
When the final Nuance trial ended, Lin Huang vaguely felt that his Saber Dao, which had not improved in a long time, seemed to have improved a little.
Although it was extremely weak, his Saber Dao was already close to peak level-6. Just a little bit of improvement was already very impressive.
After spending another half an hour digesting what he had learned from more than a thousand trials, Lin Huang finally opened his eyes and looked at the level-2 Consonance sword marks.
Looking around, he saw that the Consonance sword marks were slightly fewer than the Nuance sword marks. There were more than eight hundred of them.
Lin Huang locked onto one at random and probed it with his Divine Telekinesis.
The next instant, his consciousness was dragged into the sword mark space again.
This time was different from before. Lin Huang felt that his suppressed Saber Dao had been slightly unsealed, but it was only at the level of a perfected level-2 Consonance sword mark.
Some of the Nuance sword skills that he couldn't use previously were also unsealed as his Saber Dao level increased.
Lin Huang could even clearly feel that the power of his sword skills had increased correspondingly.
With more than a thousand Nuance trials from before, the opening of a new checkpoint made Lin Huang feel more comfortable.
He still chose the previous battle style calmly. As long as he encountered a sword skill that he was interested in, he would give his opponent the chance to use it to its fullest before killing them.
After more than eight hundred battles, Lin Huang spent another three and a half hours.
Actually, the battles didn't take up much time. The main thing was that he spent a lot of time digesting the battles.
However, the time spent was worth it.
After the Consonance trial ended, Lin Huang could clearly feel that his Saber Dao had improved a little.
The third level-3 Illumination sword mark only had about six hundred marks.
The fourth level-4 Oblivion sword mark only had about four hundred marks.
The fifth level-5 Shattering Void sword mark only had about two hundred and eighty marks.
Clearly, the higher the level of Saber Dao, the stricter Great Heaven's selection.
When he reached level-5, he spent more than three hours in each battle. Some of them even took more than six hours. On one hand, his opponents were getting stronger and stronger. On the other hand, his opponents could show more and more things, which was more and more nutritious for Lin Huang.
Fortunately, no matter how much time was spent in the sword mark space, it didn't affect the time outside.
However, the time taken for Lin Huang to digest the battles was getting longer and longer.
He spent a total of two days and two nights to digest the battles in the fifth level.
After two days of digestion, Lin Huang could clearly feel that his sixth level Saber Dao was almost at the final level of perfection.
"Just a little more and I'll reach perfection of Heaven Tier!" Lin Huang looked at the remaining sword marks on the rock wall. There were only 121 sword marks there that exuded the aura of the sixth level. "I probably won't need to wait until the sixth level trial ends for my Saber Dao to reach perfection."
Lin Huang was getting more and more excited. He had even temporarily thrown the final purpose of the trial to the back of his mind and was completely immersed in the process of the trial.
Glancing at the 121 sword marks, Lin Huang quickly locked his eyes on one of them.
It was a line from a poem: "The golden sword is dressed in white jade, and the light shines through the window at night."
"Interesting. You'll be the first one."
Lin Huang grinned and checked it with his Divine Telekinesis.
After consolidating his body in the sword mark space, Lin Huang finally didn't feel the suppression from before.
He had completely unleashed his Saber Dao, and all his sword skills and Sword Dao techniques had been completely unsealed. Even his combat strength had been restored to his imperial-level rank-9.
Just as Lin Huang was wondering what kind of opponent he would encounter, a notification suddenly popped up before him.
"Due to the unique cultivation route of the participant, although you're only imperial-level, the actual strength of the Divine Power in your body is almost equivalent to a rank-9 Heavenly Fate (Virtual God rank-9). Therefore, in this checkpoint, all Sword Dao possessors' combat strength has been set to rank-9 Heavenly Fate. "
"Alright then …" Lin Huang had no objections to that.
If his opponent had the same combat strength as him, he might be able to kill them with a single swing of his sword. It would be even easier than the level-5 checkpoint.
Previously, he had been suppressed to the same combat strength as his opponent. This time, it was finally his opponent's turn to accommodate his combat strength.
The level-6 Sword Dao, Heavenly Fate, was different from the previous five levels. It was a huge gap.
The difference between level-6 and level-5 was almost the same as the difference between Sword Dao true meaning and Saber Dao.
Level-6 Sword Dao could only be significantly elevated by mastering mythical-level sword skills. Even pseudo-mythical-level sword skills had a very limited effect on Sword Dao.
Therefore, very few sword cultivators below virtual god-level could break through to level-6 Sword Dao. This was because powerhouses below virtual god-level did not have Divine Power in their bodies, so they could not cultivate mythical-level sword skills.
Of course, this did not mean that it was absolutely impossible for sword cultivators below virtual god-level to elevate their Sword Dao to level-6. There were also powerhouses who had mastered enough sword skills below mythical-level to slowly break through the limits of level-5 Sword Dao.
However, it was almost impossible to do this without mastering tens of thousands of sword skills.
The mastery here did not simply mean learning them. Instead, it meant mastering them thoroughly, thoroughly understanding these sword skills, and reaching a flawless state where there was no room for improvement.
Therefore, there were very few sword cultivators below virtual god-level who had mastered level-6 Sword Dao. Even if they had reached level-6, it was almost as difficult as ascending to the heavens if they wanted to improve.
Lin Huang was already able to use Divine Power at imperial-level because he had a cheat code. He had also mastered more than ten mythical-level sword skills and hundreds of pseudo-mythical-level sword skills.
Now, he had gone through thousands of pure sword cultivator battles in the Swordfiend Abyss, and only then was he close to completing level-6 Sword Dao.
If it were any other imperial-level, forget learning mythical-level sword skills with Divine Power, even buying a pseudo-mythical-level sword skill that did not require Divine Power would probably bankrupt them.
