Kent stood inside the Sword Tower with a bewildered expression. New elents had appeared, but what shocked him the most was the information displayed before him.
He had received the requirents he needed to fulfill to beco a Sword Saint, and they were far from easy.
There were only three, but each one was far more challenging than he had hoped. He even questioned whether it was this difficult for everyone trying to ascend to the rank of Sword Saint.
The answer, however, was no.
While others attempting to beco Sword Saints could take a decade or even several decades to complete their trials, his path alone might take far longer.
But Kent didn't have the luxury of ti.

⟪ Congratulations on becoming a Grandmaster Swords. You will now receive 2 tis the speed of understanding when practicing the sword ⟫
⟪ Your Sword Qi and Sword Intent have gained a boost. You currently have 5/9 Master over Enhance Sword Qi and Sword Intent.⟫.
⟪ All forms of sword attacks using Sword Qi and Sword Intent will gain a 30% boost in attack power ⟫
*****
Although the rewards for becoming a Grandmaster swordsman seem weak, he has, in fact, beco much stronger and more dangerous. Thanks to the support from his won, every hour is a boon for him.
Additionally, his understanding of the sword has improved greatly after mastering all 10,002 sword techniques, which played a major role in his highly advanced comprehension of how to wield his sword.
But it didn't stop there.
Beyond his understanding of the sword, he now possesses a much deeper understanding of how to execute skills and techniques perfectly.
In fact, what the Gate Master called perfect when he executed the true form of the [24 String Weaving Strike] sword skill appeared flawed to him.
Now, Kent has beco soone driven by an unquenchable thirst to chase perfection on the path of the sword. He craves perfection, and as it turns out, his next requirent will push him even further.

⟪ You have 6 months to complete all three requirents, else you will lose access to your Sword intent and Sword Qi for 10 years ⟫

Kent was shocked beyond comprehension. He simply couldn't fathom how sothing like this could be achieved within three years.
"Gaia, tell this won't be asured using the ti in the tower," Kent asked imdiately, his tone laced with urgency. This was the most critical question.
A day on the outside equaled 24 days inside the tower, so he needed clarification.
[The Master shouldn't worry. Just as your age is not affected by the ti spent inside the tower, the duration will also remain unaffected. So, while you have six months on the outside, you will have 4,320 days, which is approximately 11.83 years inside the tower.]
"Good to know," Kent sighed.
'Eleven years... That's how long I have to beco a Sword Saint,' Kent thought, his expression hardening with determination. He knew he had to take this seriously.
The first requirent was incredibly difficult, and the last two were not walking in the park either.
He needed to master all 10,002 sword plays using only his mind, and if that wasn't challenging enough, he also had to achieve seven enlightennts.
"Gaia, what is this enlightennt thing? This is my first ti encountering it," Kent asked. He could sense it was sothing profound and important, so he asked early to prepare accordingly.
[Enlightennt is the most important part of every swordsman's journey. In fact, any swordsman who has not encountered or gone through enlightennt before cannot be deed a true swordsman.
In the sword path, sword enlightennt begins when one becos a Sword Grandmaster. At the Grandmaster stage, one's understanding of the sword starts to grow. In the path of the sword, they might reach a level of understanding that forces them to enter the stage of enlightennt.
At this stage, they must undergo at least three instances of enlightennt before breaking through to the Sword Saint stage. Gaining enlightennt is entering a state where your understand will undergo a qualitative change]
"Wait a minute. Only three? Then why am I required to do seven?" Kent asked, frustration creeping into his voice.
He didn't know why he felt that way, but deep down, he could tell that attaining enlightennt wouldn't be easy. So why seven for him and only three for everyone else?
[The keyword there is at least. Seven is for master. This ans, in so cases, the number can vary, especially since there are thirteen Sword Enlightennt stages, each with its own unique nature.]
"...Unbelievable," Kent sighed, shaking his head.
Aside from the enlightennt, Kent also had to upgrade his sword qi and sword intent to the Profound stage, as well as advance his sword body to the Silver stage.
He was currently at the Copper stage/rank. Thankfully, he now had body cultivation to rely on. But still, the requirents were just too strict.

'At this stage, I wonder what kind of requirents I'll face when becoming a Sword Sage...' Kent smiled to himself and made a ntal note to use his charm to fill his large bed with beauties.
Having beauties to spend ti with when he was tired from training would, without a doubt, make things much simpler and easier.
"Then how about the sword bridge?" Kent asked.
[For that, you have to cross it. Like in the description, you must defeat the 13 swordsn. But you must know this: the 13 swordsn are asured based on how much progress you should have made at a given point in ti.
So, let's say you have mastered 1,000 swordplays and moved your sword qi and intent to 7/9; the swordsman you will be facing will be asured using this tric.
However, it will also be asured based on the tower's expectations and so other unknown variables.]
"So in other words, the tower is going to fuck up," Kent laughed, staring daggers at Gaia, who was looking at him with an expression that said, "I have no idea this is going to fuck up."
Kent just sighed.
He moved and appeared before the Sword Bridge, which stretched many miles across the landscape.
It was a large sword filled with Sword Will, the sa will coming from the Sword of Enlightennt, infused with the 10,002 swordplays.
"So all I have to do is keep mastering the swordplays and then I can walk across this bridge, right?" Kent asked, and Gaia nodded.
Sothing told him he shouldn't dare step on it if he didn't want to experience true pain. He could only relax and wait for the mont when he could contend with it.
"I guess I will start challenging core disciples now... This will make things much easier for when I face this bridge," Kent made his plan.
If only he knew that when Gaia ntioned there would be so unknown variables, one of the variables was the fact that the 13 swordsn would all have Sword Saint-level understanding and mastery...
He is screwed...
