He held a sword in his hand, his expression cold.

As soon as he appeared, countless people recognized his identity.

"Wind Sword Saint, ranked third on the leaderboard!" the passerby shouted out the other person's name, and then saw the other person staring at the person who had called out his ranking with a murderous look.

His original name is now lost to history.

However, from the very beginning, his name was Qi Sui Zhang Feng Sword Saint. Of course, there was a separator between each character, indicating that the name was not meant to be a single string.

As his strength grows, he will remove a separator, then remove the order of a word, and gradually eliminate the prefix in front of his name.

Thus, everyone learned of his ambition.

He wants to become a 'Sword Saint' step by step.

However, at this moment, a list was released, and he, who aspired to become a sword saint, was ranked third.

However, the top two spots on the list have never appeared.

He thought to himself, "He's probably just a braggart."

Later, the Sword of Fortune appeared, and Nemus, the fictional demon—more commonly known as the Sword Saint of Fortune—became widely known.

Everything about him gradually became just a third.

All the stories that people used to talk about, everything about his name, are now forgotten.

Even when it's mentioned, it's only said that he's still three steps away from becoming a true sword saint.

That's why he's standing here today.

"I am now called the Third Sword, and I am here for only one thing: Nemus!"

"Come out here, let's have a match!"

"A contest of pure swordsmanship!!!" The third swordsman gripped his sword tightly, surveying everyone around him.

"I will prove that my sword is no less powerful than yours!"

But the opponent he was looking forward to, Nemes, did not appear.

Instead, one by one, the swordsmen raised their swords and charged into the circle.

Looking at these people, they also looked down on themselves, as were the swordsmen who used Nemus's so-called Sword of Fortune.

A flash of killing intent crossed the Third Sword's eyes.

"Since you won't come out, then I'll kill all those who use your swordsmanship." As he finished speaking, a stream of energy swirled around his sword with each breath.

A vast array of wind swords appeared, and with a single swing of his sword, countless streams of air transformed into deadly blades.

Faced with this gust of wind, someone stepped forward at this moment.

Forrest!

This was someone who was previously only at the bottom of the list, and not even a member of a noble family of the Iron Race.

But at this moment, they rushed to the front.

At this moment, he naturally exuded the air of a 'master'.

The sword in his hand also changed from an ordinary sword to a black sword.

As he swung his sword, the originally murderous whirlwind sword energy was softened the moment it made contact.

It's as if countless leaves are rustling, or as if you're sitting in your own yard on a leisurely afternoon, undisturbed and free from any noise.

The wind became a gentle breeze that caressed people.

Forrest was not surprised that he had succeeded with a single strike.

Of course, I still feel a bit like I've been transported to another world.

However, the reality is that only a month has passed.

Upon discovering the value of the Sword of Fortune, he immediately handed it over to his family and then used it as an instructor to teach countless people who wished to learn how to wield the Sword of Fortune.

During this process, he felt his luck was constantly increasing.

The power of swordsmanship grew stronger, and the understanding of the sword deepened.

Not long ago, he inexplicably reached a score of ten.

Before this, he was just a useless cultivator, and was judged to be destined to be a Black Stone Seed for life.

But now, my fate has inexplicably changed.

After the family conducted research for some time, they came to a conclusion.

That is the Sword of Fortune; Nemus definitely referenced the Fairy's Historical Number Extraction Ritual.

The boost to his luck was somewhat similar to how historical trends propel people forward.

At the same time, the large-scale gathering of goods also, to some extent, formed a kind of ritual.

He happened to be caught up in Nems's scheme and played a role in the process, thus completing the ritual.

Although the historical numbers were not extracted in the manner of a historical ritual, they were optimized and changed.

As he said this, Forrest was startled by the greed that gleamed in the eyes of the old men in the family.

However, he quickly realized why they were greedy.

Even a piece that participates and plays a certain role can obtain this benefit.

So what will Naim, as the center of this fortune, gain?

However, those old fogies soon abandoned their greed. In their words, they understood the limits of their abilities and stopped seeking death.

They then placed their bets heavily on Forrest.

They not only provided him with a large amount of resources to help him advance in the Steel class, but also began to promote Forrest.

They don't have the guts to offend Nemus and fight against the fictional demon or the Sword Saint of Fortune, but they have plenty of guts to use the other party's scheme to gain some benefits for their own people.

So, some time ago, Forrest completed his final transformation—he entered the third stage of the Sword of Fortune and realized his own fortune—the Forest Pavilion.

Specifically, this manifests in two abilities.

The effect of the first stage, "In the Forest," is to 'soften' incoming attacks.

As Forrest withstood the gust of wind from the third sword strike, more and more swordsmen rushed into the circle.

Meanwhile, in other parts of the surrounding area, circles also emerged from the ground.

Some people appeared near the eastern suburbs.

Two more pairs of eyes opened on one of the faces, and finally a low growl of hatred escaped.

"Nemus!"

Chapter 345 Bubble Fish? Jin Sheng!

When Nemus saw the floating circles, he immediately connected them with the Holy Son Completion Ritual that the mastermind had sent to Sword Saint Nemus.

Meanwhile, among the swordsmen in the circle, some also exuded a special aura.

This includes the Crimson Flame One that Nemus saw last night.

There are quite a few people like this.

But they weren't the only ones who changed.

From the nearby woods, a commotion erupted, and then a large number of animals rushed out.

In the sky, large flocks of birds chirped and flew towards this direction.

Then, as if controlled by someone, the flock of birds landed precisely in a circle.

The same was true for the beasts; they rushed towards another circle.

Meanwhile, within a certain circle, many seeds began to germinate and grow into various kinds of vegetation.

This is part of the Son's Instrumentality ritual.

"Differentiation!" The central idea of ​​this ritual is to use the differences between different things to filter out the differences in the test subjects.

Then, by using these differences, we can identify the similarities.

Ultimately, the similarities and differences are used to transfer what is in the 'material' to the individual at the center of the ritual.

This helps the central individual to complete themselves and become a true holy child.

Naims reviewed part of the process and was basically certain that there were no problems.

Of course, Nemus couldn't possibly believe the mastermind behind it all.

The complete ritual is in the hands of the other party, and if the ritual is modified, its function may change.

As different powers can be applied to holy children and materials, they can naturally be applied to other things as well.

Therefore, Nemus never set his sights on this so-called Holy Son Instrumentality ritual.

Even if he were to use this ritual, Nemus would choose to arrest the mastermind behind it, gather relevant information, and then conduct the research and hold the ceremony himself.

Instead of cooperating with such secretive individuals with unclear motives.

Just as Nems was pondering, a group of people appeared not far away.

The leader was a burly man who wore a mask and a cloak.

Standing in a circle where no other living beings were present, he said, "Please do not panic."

"This is nothing more than a cooperation ceremony we reached with a fictitious agreement."

"The next few circles will complete the differential screening."

"Then three absorption circles and four material circles will appear."

"In each absorption circle, the survivors can obtain the individual traits of other material circles to complete their abilities."

As soon as the masked man finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but look at the circles on the ground.

White light shone around the circle where the sword fighting competition was taking place, the circle where the masked men were, and another circle.

The area around the birds, beasts, vegetation, and an empty circle was now illuminated by a red glow.

"Of course, the more individual life forms there are within the circle, the fewer traits they can be allocated."

"If there is only one person inside an absorption circle, then he can use it to condense a powerful property."

The masked man's words were sincere yet seductive.

Then a contract appeared in his hand, containing exactly what he had said.

He dripped a drop of his blood onto the contract, then released it, and the contract transformed into a special power that merged into the circles.

"Furthermore, Lord Sword Saint of Fortune, I have already shown my sincerity, and the other circle is also reserved for you."

"It's time for you to appear." The masked man then bowed slightly towards an empty space.

The light in that area shifted, and the Sword Saint Nemus appeared there, followed by some people from the Fictional Agreement.

The Nemus at this moment was vastly different from his previous Great Knight attire.

He was dressed in a black robe, and his originally dark brown hair had now turned into a dark gold, medium-length style.

With the Forest Sword at his waist, he exuded an aura of power, as if he were at the center of the world.

Upon seeing Nemus appear, the masked man slightly raised his head, revealing a smile beneath the mask.

"Not bad perception... Bubble Fish." Nemus twirled a strand of his rather long, dark golden curly hair behind his ear with one finger and then spoke.

The masked man froze, and behind Nems, the equally burly 'Jane' stepped out at that moment.

"Ah Yue!"

"Are you really going to use Xiao Hei as material?" Jane's gaze seemed to have the power to penetrate, piercing through the other person's mask.

The masked man looked at his former companion, smiled, and took off his mask.

He was another experimental subject who escaped from the orphanage. Like Jane, codenamed Little White Pig, and Rosalind, codenamed Blackie, he also had an experimental subject's codename—Bubble Fish.

Of course, he had long since abandoned that name and no longer used the nickname he had given himself in the orphanage—Yue.

"My name is now Jin Sheng. I will make up for my shortcomings and become a true Golden Saint."
