His first step to imbue his body with Battle Intent as a type of weapon was extremely difficult but safety was number one priority.

He roughly dispersed the Battle Intent into equal parts within his body and tested it on the depths of the cave.

A light struck to the wall caused it to collapse but Dean could feel an intense pain in his shoulder.

Using this clue, Dean formulated the idea to practice on first perfecting the form of basic techniques.

Whether it was his form hurting him or not imbuing enough Battle Intent, he would now be confident in his decisions to execute it.

There was eventually a mining area where Dean would just knock down the cave's wall in the hopes of practicing the Battle Intent imbument while trying to look for any rare metals.

This training overall took 5 months and Dean was only able to find some common metals with no injuries sustained.

The first training made the training to saturate his body with Battle Intent much easier but Dean was now bored knowing that he only had a month left to do some sort of training.

It couldn't be the type of training that was meant for long term as he needed to do some sort of improvement within a month.

Skipping through the pages, Dean found that some of the ideas he had was also noted down but they had much more details.

An example was using Battle Intent to form a weapon.

A noticeable factor that deterred most users was the cost to create the weapon was not at all worth it when you could simply use a plain iron weapon to substitute it.

The explanation for that was that the iron weapon acted as a mediator between the Battle Intent to form rather than expending energy to create a mediator using Battle Intent.

Such an explanation was confusing to Dean but there was a simplified note from a different senior.

Using an iron weapon allows the user to coat it with Battle Intent instead of creating a form by scratch, saves much more Battle Intent.

Dean continued reading to find that another condition to do this technique was that they must have a strong visualization of the specific design they want to create.

This meant they couldn't be vague on the idea on how sharp the blade should be or how well curved it was, they must have a clear idea on the design.

It was very unlikely for Dean to completely master this technique within a month, especially since he already had a weapon of his own that he could use.

There were many other techniques that really did catch his attention with how powerful and interesting they were framed.

One was to completely change the energy and essence within the person so that only Battle Intent would act as Qi or Mana.

The process consisted of creating a seed of Battle Intent and slowly nurturing it until it could start devouring the energy and trading it into Battle Intent.

Eventually, the user will breathe and exhale Battle Intent fueled by the body itself and can increase cultivating speed by using external energy such as Mana.
