Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao

*****************¶¶*****************

Arthur had comprehended the intent finally and had decided to only use his sword intent to resist the pressure of the sword stairs.

He was already on the sixth step and by his calculations, the pressure from the sword intent of the sword sheath would increase every three steps.

That means that at the seventh step he would face third rank sword intent, and he would be using only his second rank sword intent to resist.

'I might have to suffer a little,' Arthur didn't mind it though.

'But now that I have comprehended the intent of sword, it would be easier to go further.'

Sword Intent was something one of his soul clones had comprehended to a very high level in the past.

So even though their memories were removed taking their understanding of intent with them, their soul still understands intent.

It was just like how your body remembers performing a certain action but your mind has lost its memory. This is one of the reasons that allows Arthur to comprehend intent much faster than any other.

*Step!*

Arthur stepped on the seventh step and indeed the sword intent pressure did increase.

*shring*

Arthur could almost hear the sound of a sword slashing at him, with the intent to annihilate his existence.

It was at this point that Arthur was sure of his hypothesis.

'This is not just sword intent. It has fused other intent within it!'

Arthur did the same thing he did in the previous steps and closed his eyes, immersing himself in the sword intent's pressure.

'Comprehend...'

"Hmm, how do you think it would take him to advance this time?" Elder Londes who was watching from the side asked.

The other Elder thought for a moment before speaking, "Comprehending intent is not so easy. The fact that he had been able to achieve rank two sword intent in such a short span is already commendable."

"So he might take twice as much as the time he spent to comprehend up to rank two sword intent, and it could take longer," he concluded.

"Hmmm, I think so too, Maten," Elder Londes agreed.

"But..." He continued

"But what?" Elder Maten asked.

"Why do I have this feeling that he might just do it much faster instead of going slower?"

"How can the be possible, he can't - ?!"

While they conversed Arthur had climbed to the next step; the eighth step.

At this point, only Zaith was ahead of Arthur and was on the night step, and if he moves a step further he would have completed this test.

"Ngh..." Zaith groaned silently.

'I am at my limit! I have only comprehended up to third rank slaughter intent!'

Zaith's Slaughter intent was not powerful enough to help him resist the pressure at the tenth step.

Even on the ninth step, he was giving it his all.

While Zaith was in a dilemma, he heard a footstep by his side and turned his head to see Arthur at his side.

'Invincible...he made it this far. As I expected but...' Zaith looked closely and found to his dismay that Arthur didn't look like he was having a hard time at all.

'He looks just as leisure as when he was on the first step, and...this feeling...sword intent?!'

"You knew sword intent already?" Zaith asked skeptically, afraid of an assumption he had.

"No, I just learned it," Arthur was so casual saying it that he broke Zaith's heart without knowing.

"You...you.. learned it on the spot?"

"Yeah, sure. It wasn't that hard anyway. Now I am already at the third rank," Arthur smiled triumphantly.

Even he had no idea why he was acting this way. He felt like a child trying to show off his achievements to his peers.

Although he had a few goals in mind for acting like this, one of them was to befriend this young man whose last name is Asura.

'He really did it?!'

Zaith's cold look was gone and only surprise filled his eyes. He had never seen anyone comprehend intent so fast before.

But then again he recalled a popular saying in the cultivation world.

'There are mountains above mountains...indeed.'

'But...I will not lose!'

Zaith returned to his cold look and ignored Arthur focusing on the next step.

He decided to learn something from Arthur and closed his eyes too.

'Rank Four Slaughter Intent...I was not that far from comprehending it back then at that wretched place,' Zaith was going to attempt to increase his slaughter intent.

Arthur saw this and smiled a bit, and then he focused on his own comprehension.

'Now that I am on the night step, I can vaguely sense a multitude of other intents within this Sword Intent,' Arthur's expression became serious at that.

From what he perceived from the Sword Stairs sword intent, it was like someone fused other intents together with sword intent being the leader and core of this fused intent.

This discovery gave Arthur the idea of fusing his intents when he had the chance.

'But I feel like this isn't the true power of this sword intent,' Arthur trusted his instincts a lot, mostly because of having the Fate Stone in his soul.

So Arthur decided to ignore the other intents that came with the sword intent

'I will focus on just the sword intent alone for now.'

Meanwhile, Elder Londes and Elder Maten looked at each other trying to control the surprise in their eyes.

"Did you see that?"

"Yes, I did...he reached the next rank even faster than when he first started."

"This boy...if I wasn't sure before then I am sure now," Elder Londes looked at Arthur with a glint in his eyes.

"He might be the one," Elder Maten said.

While Arthur and Zaith were getting all the attention, the other participants were struggling on the third steps and below.

"Damn, this is so hard!"

"Yeah, I don't understand how those two are doing it so easily."

"Are you guys seriously trying to understand geniuses?"

"Geniuses? I am a genius too, just so you know...well, I was back in my clan."
