Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener

While Sterl was still pondering, a surge of information flooded into his mind.

After absorbing this information, a look of realization appeared in his eyes as he understood what was happening.

The Land of All Beings, as a sacred place for technique practitioners, was certainly not as simple as it seemed.

In addition to evolving different levels of Trial Seekers based on the entrant's technique level, there was another ability: to accelerate comprehension and cultivation.

The stronger one's technique ability, the stronger the benefit would be. In other words, the more one could accept the enhancements, the greater the effect of those enhancements.

Sterl then grabbed his greatsword from beside him and gently waved it in front of him.

In an instant, dozens of figures holding greatswords quickly materialized around him. Their movements mirrored his perfectly, but every figure's swing of the greatsword carried a different sword intent.

Soon after, the figures shattered abruptly, breaking into countless fragments that merged into his body. At that moment, his mind and body were flooded with dozens of sword-swinging memories.

It felt as if, in that brief instant, he had swung the sword dozens of times in a row.

"I see now!"

After discovering this function, excitement filled Sterl's face.

If the blurry figure that had killed him time and time again earlier was using practical combat to sharpen his swordsmanship, now, this was enhancing his understanding and mastery of swordsmanship.

Every time he swung the sword, it was as if he had swung it dozens of times, and these insights were identical to those he had gained from his own sword swings.

This was equivalent to making his swordsmanship cultivation speed increase by dozens of times!

At this moment, he recalled Nightmare Overlord's powerful swordsmanship and the vast array of sword techniques he had developed on his own.

This function, if used to develop his own unique sword techniques, would be a perfect enhancement!

Each time he swung the sword, it was as if dozens of swordsmanship experts at his level were exploring and refining the techniques together with him, reducing the years or even centuries of painstaking training into an instant!

And this was clearly not the Land of All Beings's limit. If his swordsmanship rank were raised to Nightmare Overlord's level, the cultivation effect for swordsmanship might increase thousands or even tens of thousands of times!

Calming the surging emotions inside him, Sterl gripped his greatsword and immersed himself in the cultivation of the Land of All Beings.

By the time his mental and soul energy had been exhausted, his swordsmanship level had risen from Swordsmanship Specialization (Technique · Passive, Lv30) to Lv34!

[Swordsmanship Specialization (Technique · Passive, Lv34)]

Increases sword-type weapon attack power by 77%, nerve reflex speed +34%, dynamic vision ability +12%

After one round of cultivation, his swordsmanship level increased by a full four levels.

Both the attack power of sword-type weapons and his nerve reflex speed, as well as dynamic vision ability, had seen noticeable improvements.

Moreover, the enhancement to his swordsmanship was permanent and passive, a power that was now fully integrated into his own abilities.

This only deepened Sterl's growing interest in swordsmanship.

For the next few days, aside from his daily evolution, all of his remaining energy was devoted to cultivating swordsmanship.

By the end of four days, after all the limitations of War Soul Resonance had been completely evolved and eliminated, Sterl's Swordsmanship Specialization level had skyrocketed to Lv42!

Don't think that an eight-level increase was insignificant. Even Swordsmanship Specialization required immense time and effort to master.

For a typical swordsmanship genius, moving from level 34 to level 42 would take at least ten years, if not more.

Normally, even with the help of Land of All Beings, Sterl's cultivation speed wouldn't have been this fast.

But let's not forget, he had absorbed the swordsmanship remnants of Nightmare Overlord, gaining a wealth of swordsmanship insights. The cultivation in the Land of All Beings had greatly accelerated his ability to absorb and transform those insights, making this level of improvement quite normal.

Sterl opened his eyes. After his mental power had mostly recovered, he turned his attention to the War Soul Resonance secret technique.

After undergoing five rounds of evolution and enhancement, all the restrictions on War Soul Resonance had disappeared, but the effects of War Soul Resonance had changed slightly after the limitations were lifted.

He furrowed his brows and studied it carefully, only to find that, compared to before, War Soul Resonance had actually weakened somewhat!

Though the restrictions were gone and it was no longer constrained by the Skullbrave Clan bloodline, its power was now only around 70% of its original strength.

This was not what Sterl had hoped for.

Whether for solidifying the War Demon identity or fighting against the Dream Spirit Empire, the importance of War Soul Resonance was unquestionable.

The former was not a major issue. What truly troubled Sterl was the current strength of the Dream Spirit Empire.

Since the Dream Spirit Empire had sealed away the Nightmare Overlord, War Demon, and the main pillars of the Nightmare Legion, it had dominated all of Dreamland.

Nearly 40,000 years had passed since then, and in all that time, no one knew just how deep the Dream Spirit Empire's foundation had grown.

If he were to leave the Eternal Light world as War Demon, there was no doubt that the Dream Spirit Empire would launch a full-scale assault on the Land of Nightmares. Not only would they aim to eliminate this final hidden threat, but they would also ensure his complete destruction, erasing this former nightmare forever.

In this world, only a legion could resist another legion, which meant that the strength of War Soul Resonance was absolutely crucial.

However, right now, the effect of War Soul Resonance was not only weaker than before, it had actually been diminished. This was undoubtedly a serious setback that could not be allowed to stand.

Sterl immediately checked his attribute panel, and fortunately, the "+" symbol next to War Soul Resonance had not disappeared, indicating that the arcane skill still had the potential to be further enhanced.

Seeing this, he breathed a small sigh of relief.

He decided that before taking any real action, he would first push War Soul Resonance to its peak. If the strength met his expectations, he would strike with overwhelming force, sweeping everything aside.

However, if he couldn't return it to its original effect, then he would have to think long-term and focus on cautious development.

Shaking his head slightly, he sat down again, continuing to cultivate and refine his swordsmanship while waiting for the cheat to refresh.

Days passed.

On the fifth day, the effect of War Soul Resonance had recovered to about 85% of its original strength, and Swordsmanship Specialization had increased by 3 levels.

On the sixth day, the effect of War Soul Resonance reached 90%, and Swordsmanship Specialization rose by another 4 levels!

On the seventh day, the effect of War Soul Resonance was restored to 99%, and its potential still hadn't been fully exhausted. Furthermore, on this day, Sterl entered a rare state of sudden enlightenment in the Land of All Beings. The swordsmanship remnants of Nightmare Overlord were rapidly absorbed, and his swordsmanship level surged directly to Lv58!

On the eighth day, the effect of War Soul Resonance was fully restored to 100%, and it even surpassed its previous limits, with its strength increasing by nearly 10%! At the same time, Sterl's Swordsmanship Specialization had reached Lv60. Upon reaching level 60, the potential of Swordsmanship Specialization was exhausted, and he had touched the wall and the limit—he would need to break through this limitation to continue improving.

...

In the Land of All Beings, Sterl gripped his greatsword with his left hand, while his other arm had vanished. In front of him stood a figure of similar stature, holding a nearly identical greatsword.

However, the same greatsword, in Sterl's hands, was just a decent weapon, while in the figure's hands, it carried a unique grace, almost as if it were an extension of the arm itself.

Sterl continued to recall the hundreds of clashes he had with the figure. Since reaching Swordsmanship Specialization Lv60, he had reached the limit of Swordsmanship Specialization.

Once he hit the limit, no matter how much more he cultivated, he couldn't reach Swordsmanship Specialization Lv61. The only way to continue improving was to break through the rank limit and advance Swordsmanship Specialization to Swordsmanship Grandmaster to keep progressing his technique ability.

So, after entering the Land of All Beings, Sterl switched from the auxiliary cultivation mode to the combat mode.

The figure manifested by the Land of All Beings had a physique similar to his, but its swordsmanship level was Swordsmanship Grandmaster Lv10.

Facing a Swordsmanship Grandmaster at level 10, his Swordsmanship Specialization at level 60 looked impressive, but in actual combat, the difference was like an insurmountable chasm.

In fact, it was even more brutal than the first time he entered the Land of All Beings, where he had been slashed mercilessly.

However, after hundreds of "deaths," Sterl gained many new insights into swordsmanship. Every time he died, a part of Nightmare Overlord's swordsmanship soul was absorbed by him.

By now, he could clearly feel that he was just one step away from breaking through that final boundary.

All other thoughts were pushed aside. Right now, there was only the sword in his hand and the seemingly invincible opponent before him.

At that moment, the figure moved again. Though their physical strengths were identical, in the opponent's hands, the heavy greatsword seemed as light as air.

Before Sterl could react, the greatsword had turned into a flash of cold light, rapidly closing in on him.

"Kill!"

Sterl gritted his teeth, his eyes locking onto the opponent's form through the streak of cold light, then a heavy sword intent surged violently from his body!

It was none other than the ability derived from his Swordsmanship Specialization—Heavy Strike!

Thwip!

The greatsword pierced through his chest, shredding his heart, but Sterl felt an unprecedented calmness and determination deep inside.

The experiences and insights gained from Nightmare Overlord were rapidly internalizing.

Then, astonishingly, despite the greatsword's penetration, Sterl, with the Mountain effect of Heavy Strike, swung his own greatsword down with earth-shaking force. In the effect of Body Buff, his form didn't retreat a single step!

The cold light flashed, and the figure's chest was slashed, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound. But the next moment, Sterl lost consciousness as his head was severed by a single sword strike.
