Deep within them lies a desire that is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

And once this desire is confirmed, one gains astonishing ability to act.

If I had encountered this kind of person earlier, I might have gained another great general under my command.

However, it is precisely because they are of the same kind that...

Nems was fairly certain that if he tried to recruit the other party now that they had made up their minds to act, even if he revealed his true identity, the other party would absolutely not change their mind.

It's like, even if Nemus were given the chance to return to Earth with all his power, he would absolutely not choose it.

Even if he were to return to that 'magic-free' world with his incomplete divine essence, and become the only 'god' among nearly 10 billion people in that world, making success much easier, he would not change his will.

He has already decided on the path he is on and set his goals, so he will definitely walk on it firmly.

If he is like that, then so is the warden.

and so……

For those of the same kind who walk different paths, the best approach is to utterly destroy everything they have.

Nems glanced at the departing carriage.

He then turned and left.

It's almost certain that tomorrow's swordsmanship competition in the eastern suburbs will be the moment the opponent launches their attack.

The scale and intensity of the battle at that time will not be small.

I need to familiarize myself with the spells and at the same time find a way to slightly improve my physical fitness.

Otherwise, if their strength is insufficient and they reveal their true capabilities, they might have to silence everyone involved, which would be too embarrassing.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Sword Saint Nemus was also making final arrangements for the battle.

Their goal was very clear: to find the mastermind behind the scheme and eliminate them.

Then, take advantage of the opportunity to seize one of the other party's objectives for this trip—"the Sin Soul".

Then, they would seize the opportunity to get rid of those kind and lovely teammates from before.

Let them die a worthy death.

Arrange them one by one.

Time is passing by little by little.

Saint Nemes did not sleep that night, but instead met up with Agnelli and Emerald.

He led a group of men, disguised slightly, and headed to the eastern suburbs.

Furthermore, several days ago, many church members had already secretly infiltrated the eastern suburbs.

They were among the last group of people to infiltrate the area.

Meanwhile, in the eastern part of the city, there are also many clergy members on standby.

They would rush to the eastern suburbs as soon as the signal was given.

However, they will also guard against the enemy's attempt to lure them away from their base.

All we can say is that, so far, the church has made all the necessary preparations to deal with any potential turmoil.

Chapter 343 Unexplained Abundance of Resources?

Although it was the middle of the night, the eastern suburbs were unusually lively.

The swordsmen are still waiting for tomorrow's match.

However, in the middle of the night, some swordsmen couldn't stand each other and started fighting ahead of schedule.

All I can say is that when you have a hammer in your hand, everything looks like a nail.

After practicing the Sword of Fortune, every swordsman can feel their strength greatly improved.

The most obvious effect is its destructive power.

Their swords originally had limited destructive power. Regardless of their previous stats, in most cases, they could only rely on physical strength to wield their swords.

But things are different now. Most of those who are confident in participating in the competition have already reached the second stage, Xing Tian Yun.

They have found an element they are familiar with, and through their own luck, they can interact with this element, thereby greatly increasing the power of their swordsmanship and also enabling them to 'cast spells' to a certain extent.

As soon as Nemus and his men arrived, a battle was already underway.

One man's sword had flames dancing on it, while the other man's sword had flashing lightning.

"It's the Thunder Swordsman, ranked thirty-sixth, and the Crimson Flame Warrior, ranked thirty-ninth!" The onlookers were still able to recognize them.

After all, those who arrive here in the middle of the night are mostly people who are passionate about swordsmanship.

They themselves may find it difficult to make up their minds to practice swordsmanship diligently, or they may simply have limited talent, so they become particularly enthusiastic about those who are exceptionally skilled in swordsmanship.

Nemus casually asked about the identities of the two people and why they were fighting. A man dressed as a swordsman watched intently as the lightning sword and the fire sword clashed, and quickly provided information.

"The Thunder Swordsman came from the Thundercloud Whale that was previously under the command of the Thunder Church."

"In March, I came to Azure Whale under the guise of traveling, and there I met the Sword Saint of Destiny who spread the sword technique revolution of the Sword of Destiny..." When he talked about the Sword Saint of Destiny, his expression became even more fanatical.

"It was precisely because of his out-of-town identity that he wasn't on the swordsman rankings before, so he chose to defeat the Crimson Flame Warrior."

"And for some unknown reason, the Crimson Flame Warrior's swordsmanship improved dramatically during this period, so he came looking for revenge."

As Nemus listened and observed the fight between the two, his eyes narrowed involuntarily.

"Both of them have gone astray," he thought to himself, but didn't say it aloud.

Both of them have the same problem: they are too flashy.

Or rather, most practitioners of the Sword of Fortune are making the same 'mistake'.

Perhaps because they had little prior experience with elements, when they were able to absorb elements through their abilities, they all focused on the elements themselves.

How to better drive the changes of the elements, and how to make one's swordsmanship and sword moves stronger under the influence of the elements.

In Nems's eyes, they were obviously putting the cart before the horse.

The swordsmanship of the Sword of Luck focuses on luck, and the attribute of luck determines that this is a swordsmanship that requires accumulation.

If that's not enough, people will go to great lengths to express various elements, and that's what potted plants are all about.

It looks beautiful and exquisite, but its actual power is hard to achieve.

Furthermore, if they waste too much energy on these things, it will become much more difficult for them to advance to the third stage, given their natural talent.

"So this is the top forty swordsmen on the Azure Whale?" Agnelli frowned as he watched their swordsmanship.

It wasn't because the Thunder Swordsmen's swordsmanship was too good, but rather too bad...

They had been Nemus's teammates before and had witnessed Nemus's swordsmanship.

“You probably overestimate all swordsmen,” Nemus said, shaking his head. “The difference in talent isn’t just that you’re a little worse than me, or I’m a little worse than that person.”

“The fictional demon has a strong talent for swordsmanship. My learning ability is slightly better than his, but I can’t develop a similar swordsmanship.” Nemus was telling the truth.

The Holy Son's talent is largely inherited from the 'Saint,' who possesses an unreasonable ability to learn.

Even among saints, most of them find it difficult to create top-tier swordsmanship.

"Our swordsmanship talents are focused in different directions."

"If we say that my talent and his talent are each 95, then the talent of the second-ranked person on the swordsmanship list is only 50 in our eyes, which is not even a passing grade."

This is reality: a sword saint who appears only once every few years, whose swordsmanship talent is worlds apart from others.

The Azure Whale is too small.

Even on a global scale, there are very few people whose swordsmanship talent can match Nemus's.

Furthermore, individuals have different fortunes and experiences.

Very few people are able to unlock their full potential.

It's quite possible that someone with a perfect swordsmanship talent might just be a child who can't even afford to eat, and never even have the chance to pick up a sword.

He starved to death before he could even develop a fraction of his talent.

Nemus's gaze then gradually focused on the Crimson Flame.

In terms of talent, the Thunder Swordsman's talent score is around 32, indicating good potential development.

That Crimson Flame user was far inferior, with a talent score of only 26, and judging from some of his sword-wielding habits, he wasn't very skilled in swordsmanship.

However, in this battle, the two were evenly matched.

"He received external assistance, which enhanced his perception and utilization of elements..."

"It's physical modification, and the methods of this modification..."

"As expected, the mastermind behind the scenes also intervened in these swordsmen and made certain arrangements."

Nemus currently has no idea what use this modified swordsman will have.

It's normal for an opponent to be unable to withstand even a single strike from his swordsmanship.

The mastermind behind this, Golden Seed, must understand this. If that's the case, why would they waste energy and resources transforming people that even these 'cannon fodder' couldn't do?

"So, is this competition in the eastern suburbs really just a tactic to stall me?" Nemus couldn't help but think, raising an eyebrow as he carefully observed the people around him.

Then it was discovered that the personnel were indeed very complex.

The members of the fabricated agreement, church infiltrators, various nobles, and those who genuinely wanted to learn swordsmanship.

Of course, there are also those behind the scenes.

Nemes discovered that the last type of person was far more numerous than he had imagined.

"Does he have that many resources?" Nemus couldn't help but start to think about this question.

Whether it was the three Red-Eyed Brothers before, or these modified swordsmen now.

They all require an investment of resources.

Just like Nemus's whale-transformed troops, there are still not many qualified ones.

Naim's mind shifted, and he couldn't help but re-examine these people.

As I gradually gained a clearer understanding, time also gradually passed.

As a ray of sunlight fell, a new day began.

It also signifies that the battle is about to begin!

Chapter 344, Part 3?

As sunlight pierces the darkness.

The sound of whales rang out, waking everyone from their sleep.

The exciting swordsman battle has begun.

There were no organizers, and there was no fair competition.

Nemes and his group came to see it last night.

In an open space in the eastern suburbs, a huge circle was drawn.

Next to the circle stood a wooden sign with the relevant rules printed on it.

Entering the circle after the whale's call in the early morning signifies participation.

The one who ultimately stands is considered the best swordsman in Azure Whale City.

Apart from that, there are no other rules.

Nemus could see many swordsmen waiting for this battle outside the circle.

The moment the whale's cry rang out, some people rushed into the circle.

But the next moment, everyone felt the 'wind'.

Then a sword aura formed by wind shot past, forcing countless swordsmen who were preparing to enter the circle to dodge.

Taking advantage of this moment, a person dressed in hemp clothing and holding a sword appeared in the circle with a single step.
