Cale balled his hands into fists causing his muscles to produce a powerful crackling sound. ”I have reached the mid stage of the Immortal-Class level in one go, but why do I feel that I can defeat Duke Shutra with only one sword strike?” Cale muttered to himself in confusion.

A small fairy appeared in front of him and she was looking at Cale as if he was a rare specimen. ”Truly a frog at the bottom of a well. Of course, it is very easy for you to defeat Duke Shutra with your current strength.

Aside from advancing two levels in a row, you were also able to give birth to the Advance Form of Sword Intent, the Heart of Sword. Not just that, you were also able to form your Nascent Soul when you are only an Immortal-Class level expert. So even ten Duke Shutra is no match for you...” Asteria said with glittering eyes. She was now looking at Cale more favorably. Now she was very sure that Cale was destined to walk the path towards godhood.

Cale listened attentively to Asteria, but he did not understand some of the terms she spoke, causing the latter's beautiful face to twitch. ”You should buy some sword skills to match your Sword Intent. I want to recommend a sword skill to you, and I am wondering if you want to hear it...”

Cale knew that she only baiting him to spend his Black Coins, but she was also right. He indeed needed a sword skill to match his Sword Intent. Besides, he already gained its advance form for free. So it was already a bargain for him. Cale then calmly glanced at Asteria. ”What is it, Asteria?”

Asteria smiled and waved her tiny arms. After doing that, several holographic prompts appeared in front of Cale.

* Sacred Guiding Sword

- 50 000 000 000 Black Coins

* Heaven Defying Sword Slash

- 60 000 000 000 Black Coins

* Devil Arcanum Sword Movement

After seeing the last prompt, Cale frowned. ”Asteria, what is this Crystal Coin? It's the first time I'm seeing this.” It was indeed the first time Cale saw a different form of currency from The Black Market, so he was a bit surprised.

Asteria smiled and patiently explained. ”Cale, one billion Black Coins is only worth one Crystal Coin. So that means, the Devil Arcanum Sword Movement is equivalent to one hundred and fifty billion Black Coins.”

Cale's eyes widened in surprise after hearing her answer. ”That much? So that means, this Devil Arcanum Sword Movement is a top sword skill...” Cale muttered silently.

Asteria's eyes flashed for a brief moment. 'It's not just a top sword skill, but the best one I have in my memory. The one I showed you was only the first three movements from the whole twelve sword movements. Even with your current comprehension ability, you are still unqualified to see the rest of the movements. Unless... If you pay the right amount. Hehe!'

Cale checked his remaining balance and there was only a little more than one hundred and fifty billion Black Coins. It was just enough for him to buy the sword skill, but he will be broke after buying it. 'Asteria definitely did this on purpose. This little girl... Since when did she become this crafty?'

”I can read your mind, Cale. Hmph!”  Asteria coldly harrumphed in disp_l_e_a_s_u_r_e.

”I was just kidding... Come on, get that skill for me.” Cale gritted his teeth and felt a slight pang in his heart. 'My one hundred and fifty billion Black Coins is gone just like that...'

Asteria's countenance immediately brightened. She smiled sweetly and did not even ask Cale if he wants to cancel his purchase.

”This little girl...” Cale did not know whether to laugh or to cry after seeing the instant change in Asteria's attitude. He just sighed silently while looking at the outline of a black spiritual sword hovering in front of him. It then penetrated deeply inside Cale's head, causing him to clutch his head in pain.

”Grr!” He kneeled down on the ground with both hands on his head. His face contorted in pain, but he persevered and gritted his teeth. He produced muffled roars and he kept on punching the ground to divert his pain sensors. His hands became bloodied and his eyes turned bloodshot.

Zero and Wenren Wushuang wanted to come near him to check his condition, but they were stopped by Asteria who decided to show herself. If not, then both men might die from Cale's Sword Intent alone. ”Don't worry about him. After this bout of pain, his strength will once again experience a qualitative leap.” She said to both men coldly.
