Origin Lust Sword System



After Cyrus's explanation, Eve was very impressed with this method and urged him to show her. As someone with Sword Wisdom, as long as she saw anything related to the sword, she'll know whether it was worth all those praises or not.

Cyrus was also counting on this exact thing. He never practiced this method since no one had ever tried it, and his weapon by choice was not a sword either.

But with Eve, he'll know the moment he performed the Element Splitting whether it was just a sham.

"First, we need to allocate the elements to each strike of the Hymn of Awakening I'm going to perform. If I followed the colored figures system had shown me, then the first strike would be Water, followed by Fire and Earth.

"Since these are basic elements, then let's fill the gaps with basic elements; the fourth strike will be wind, then wood, metal, lighting, dark, and light."

After deciding on the reaming elements, Cyrus entered his stance, and without hesitation, he performed the first strike, but this time, the lust sword was covered in a blue sheen.

The moment he slashed his sword at a straight angle, a beautiful note rang, and the next moment, a clear and clean cut appeared on the ground.

"Oh, it's working, Cyrus! You finally performed the first strike at 93% proficiency! So that missing component was Water Element! I think I missed it because I don't know anything about elements, nor is there anything about elements in the memory set of the hymn. Do you think Elder System wanted us to figure it out ourselves?" Eve clamored in ecstasy.

Cyrus's lips rose in a smile, "It seems I need to show you more things to bring out the full potential of Weapon Wisdom. It might be a training-type ability. Let's continue!"

He was also quite thrilled to break that barrier finally, and without hesitation, he performed the second movement with a red sheen over his sword. Without stopping, the light on his sword changed again as he continued to perform.

"Wait!"

However, Eve stopped him at the sixth strike.

"What? Don't tell me it's not working?" Cyrus frowned, but he could clearly feel a strange feeling rising in his heart as he continued to use different elements with each strike.

"No, the first three strikes are all over 91% now, but the next strikes are still the same. However, now I noticed something else, use the wood element at the fourth strike and then the Wind element at the fifth as for the sixth, the metal element is not suitable for it as well." Eve gave her assessment.

"So, you're suggesting it's like some unique element sequence? No wonder the system chose those figures in certain patterns. Alright, let's continue and tell me what element to switch or change entirely. We'll continue until we find the entire sequence." Cyrus stated resolutely before he started again.

This time, Eve let him perform the entire sequence and then corrected him again and gave him a new sequence. Surprisingly the elements Cyrus chose were all compatible, and just their sequence needed to be rearranged.

After getting rid of the errors with Eve's help, he finally managed to perform the entire strike set at over 91% proficiency which gave Cyrus a strange sense of quench to continue doing the same thing tirelessly.

The perfect sequence turned out to be Water, Fire, Earth, Wood, Wind, Lighting, Metal, Light, and Dark!

With this sequence, Cyrus immersed himself in training, and the results were quite terrifying as his proficiency was now finally starting to climb slowly but surely.

The Element Splitting Method was really working with the Hymn of Awakening, and not only was it working, but Cyrus was starting to notice more things he had overlooked before.

Like he noticed faint intent from each strike of those hymns, and the more he tried to understand them, the more he felt a strange desire arousing in his heart. As he continued to follow the feeling, his sword strikes started to become blurry and faster until they seemed to be merging.

He also lost the concept of time while chasing after that feeling.

"Boom!"

All of a sudden, Cyrus was sent flying, and the Lust Sword in his hand suddenly got unsummoned. He snapped out of his daze state, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

"What happened?" Cyrus was bewildered, and almost instantly, Cyrus felt empty, thirsty, hungry, palpitation of heart, exhaustion…

All sorts of feelings attacked him all at once, and he almost felt someone had cast multiple spells on him as he found himself short of breath and sweating.

"[Warning! The system strongly suggests not practicing the Hymn of Awakening anymore! The user had spent four days practicing the Hymn of Awakening and finally reached 97% proficiency which is the limit of what the User can achieve during practice!]

"[Please find a battle to practice further, or you'll destroy yourself if you continue to practice like this. The sword is made for killing, and only that is a way for truly mastering it, especially the Lust Sword!]"

Cyrus was bewildered because it was the first time the system had interfered in his sword practice, and it clearly wasn't joking with him. Furthermore, a hint of fear rose in his heart when he thought about almost draining himself without even knowing it for four straight days!

Without hesitation, he vanished from his spot and reappeared in his Ruler's Sanctum right before the mask and wore it.

Suddenly, gray energy started to envelop him, and he started to recover his weak body, which now seemed to be like a dry leaf. He had a feeling that if he didn't consume some sort of energy, he might die; he was that empty!

The reaming destruction energy in the mask was still enough to create over 100 more pills, but now, Cyrus's body greedily absorbed it as he finally started to recover.

Within ten minutes, all the mask storage was empty, and Cyrus finally felt alive. He could also sense the recovery effect of the sanctum was also helping him rejuvenate his condition.

Although his Qi was still not anywhere to recover, the danger was passed, and now he can normally recover within a few hours.

"Just how in the world has this happened? Because of the element splitting or the hymn? I'm more inclined toward thinking it was the latter by the system's warning. Eve probably tried to wake me, but even she wasn't able to reach me in that state. Well, at least now the system finally revealed the true way toward 100%. I need to kill, just as I suspected. I can't get any SP, no matter what. Even the LXP has a leeway, but the SP is like ironclad law which has no loophole…"

Cyrus's eyes shone with killing intent as he was already planning on searching for the answer to his predicament on the battlefield if he hadn't found it with element splitting.

Now he knew it was essential to do it and start recovering since it was more important before he could figure out what happened in four days.

Five hours later, Cyrus was fully recovered, all thanks to the Ruler's Sanctum, and he could feel a small change within himself, but he couldn't put a finger on it. So he stopped dwelling on it and first opened the system interface to see if he had some notification that he had missed, and there was.

'So, she passed.' Cyrus knew it was Rita and was happy for her.

Then he closed off the interface and swept his sense over the dimension, and people were still busy cultivating while some were replenishing their energy or finding a bathroom.

Then he finally checked on the temple, and it was a pleasant surprise because not only was Hilda already in the midst of her breakthrough, but the three girls were also awake and successfully breaking into Qi Foundation Realm.

Leo and Leona were already in the mid-stage while Carla was at the peak of the Early Stage and very close to entering the next realm, which was not a bad result.

Furthermore, Leona was already undergoing the Temple Deacon trial while Leo and Carla were planning the same thing with their newfound courage and prowess.

As for Rita was moving toward the next stage of the Qi core realm at a terrifying rate.

Cyrus's lips curled up in a content smile, "It seems everything is on track, so leaving this place alone for some time won't pose any problem!"
