Chapter 81: White Fang, The de God (1)


    --- Chapter 78 ---


    ck-Corner Region experienced another wave of a surprise recently.


    All the factions within this chaotd suddenly agreed with each other to renew the ck Ranking with a small tournament, which determined things in the future. The winner shall acquire 30% of thend and several rare mines.


    However, people saw this tournament as more than that.


    The reward sure is mouth-watering, and no one wouldn''t deny that, but people are more curious about the actual cause of this sudden tournament.


    People spected about many things.


    Yet the most popr guess is rted to the new leader of Beast Taming Gate, Bai Ya.


    The appearance of this man is like a storm approaching and sweeping over the ck Corner Region violently.


    He defeated Beast Taming Gate''s former leader and other factions'' leaders, adding them to his loser counts.


    Who wouldn''t be shocked by such an achievement?


    On the Dou Qi Continent, a talent like Bai Ya is hard to find and usually dies young. Regardless, this bizarre man pushed through and climbed through ck Ranking as if it was nothing for him.


    A spark has grown into a zing me in the ck Corner Region.


    Meanwhile, the person in question was enjoying the noon and drinking a fruit smoothie.


    Baek Ain sat in Lan Rou''s backyard and released a sigh of relief because the condensation of the 5-Star Dou Emperor Realm went well. And He might even reach 6-Star Dou Emperor soon.


    However, Baek Ain liked to take things slowly.


    Going fast does not always give the best result.


    And to be fair, Baek Ain only took three days of rest as his skill would be rusty if he keptzing around like this.


    Usually, Baek Ain didn''t take any rest out of anxiety, but everything has been going well in thest ten days.


    After finishing the smoothie, Baek Ain grabbed Severed Light from his inventory and walked to the quiet part of the backyard. He faced a willow tree and started swinging his de gently.


    Baek Ain closed his eyes and solely focused on refining his swinging technique, making it smoother with each second. Even though he has upgraded de Intent(F) to de Intent(A) with an upgrade stone, he still feels itcks something.


    It''s cliche, but Baek Ain believed to be one with his de, he needed to find a meaning behind it.


    It''s not as simple as using powerful dou techniques.


    Powerful dou techniques are easy to be imperfect without a firm foundation.


    [Sixth Sense]


    [Parallel Thinking]


    Baek Ain immersed himself in the Severed Light.


    What''s the intent?


    It was the belief of someone to reach a near-perfection stage.


    A weapon made with intent. To ughter and protect.


    ughter enemy.


    And protect loved ones.


    After living in this world for almost a year, Baek Ain changed hismon sense to match the cultivation world''s standard. Of course, he doesn''t be a mindless cultivator with high moral ground and arrogance.


    Then, what''s the de?


    ...


    ...


    Two dayster.


    Lan Rou, Yi Xian, and Yafei watched Baek Ain swinging his de tirelessly under a bright sun. He seemed to enter a state of enlightenment and ignored everything around him.


    Even when Yi Xian and Yafei tried to call Baek AIn, Lan Rou quickly closed their mouths so they didn''t disturb him. It is a one-in-a-million chance for Dou Practitioner to gain such a state.


    "Something is changing," Yafeimented with a frown.


    "But I don''t know what it is."


    "For a second... Ain released a faint sharp aura from his body."


    "Really? I couldn''t feel anything." Yi Xian scowled solemnly.


    "Nice." She stared at Baek Ain''s sweaty back and saw his back muscle with great interest, leaving Lan Rou speechless. Yafei shook her head because Yi Xian was the mostid-back person she ever met.


    Even though Yi Xian might appear haughty near Baek Ain, that''s just how she expresses her feelings for him. For anyone else besides her fellow sister soon-to-wives, she''s as cold as an ice statue.


    Lan Rou sighed and added, "You two are ying too much with your cultivation."


    "That''s why you could only sense the surface of Baek Ain''s cultivation."


    "We are not as maniac as you two in cultivation..." Yafei returned casually.


    "Yes. As simple as that." Yi Xian nodded in agreement.


    "..." Lan Rou.


    "Anyway, since you''recking in your Cultivation Sense. The faintness of Baek Ain''s de way is hard to grasp."


    "Ever since training under me, Baek Ain''s choice of weapon has always been a de. He picked the weapon and started running around the field, training his dou techniques alongside it."


    "As if it was his lifeline."


    "It''s been almost a year. All those experiences umted and concentrated into what Baek Ain is now."


    "And what is this exactly?" Yafei pondered while squinting her eyes.


    Lan Rou closed her eyes and answered, "Intent."


    "Intent?"


    Nodding her head, Lan Rou opened her eyes and added, "A state where one''s body, soul, and spirit be one with something."


    "As for Ain''s case, it''s de Intent."


    "Soon, Ain will be a master capable of shing through a mountain, sea, and sky with a gentle wrist flick. You two should train more if you don''t want to let Ain down."


    "We know." Yafei and Yi Xian rolled their eyes. They also felt anxiously bitter, knowing Baek Ain would be too strong and forget about them in the future.


    "Still, you know a lot of things, huh? Senior Sister Rou~!" Yi Xian teased Lan Rou while hugging her right arm.


    Lan Rou bashfully blushed and answered, "I learned one or two things after bing Miteer Family''s shadow guard."


    "Maybe you should try it once, Yi Xian."


    "No, thanks." Yi Xian immediately refused.


    "Hmm?"


    They felt intense pressure from the backyard and saw Baek Ain open his hazel-gold eyes. He looks iparably handsome for some reason, having this sharpness around him.


    [Ding! de Intent(A) has experienced a great change]


    [de Intent(A) >>> de Intent(S)]


    [You have attained a few perks]


    ["Spirit de."]


    ["Mind de."]


    [And "I''m the Bone of my de."]


    Cough! Cough!


    Baek Ain choked on air when hearing thest perk and wondered if this was a joke.


    [It''s not a joke] Aliciamented lightly.


    [To achieve de Intent(S), you have to be one with your de through three steps]


    [Body, Spirit, and Soul]


    [Don''t be confused by Spirit and Soul because they are inherently different]


    [Soul is innate, someone one should possess from the beginning of creation]


    [Meanwhile, Spirit is Will, something one should obtain and sharpen as they gain more experience]


    [Congrattions, host. You''re one step closer to bing "de God."]


    "de God..." Baek Ain mumbled, liking the title.


    It''s simple but overpowering at the same time.


    Baek Ain calmed himself and stared at Severed Light, feeling the de''s connection with him. He smiled because there was a faint invisible aura around Severed Light''s edge, increasing the sharpness by miles awaypared to before.


    Even a Dou Ancestor or maybe Dou Venerate will have a tough time fending Baek Ain''s de intent.


    Well, that''d be for the tournament.


    Baek Ain encased Severed Light into its sheath and gently ced it on his belt, not wanting to let it inside the inventory anymore.


    "Hi, there." Baek Ain turned around and noticed his lovers'' astonished looks. "Are you three ready for the party?"
