"Nan Jin, my dear junior sister, have you passed the sixth level test of the Deep Sea?"

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother. Not yet... but after fighting A-009, I vaguely sensed the existence of some 'origin,' so it shouldn't be long before I break through."

"It's normal for power-type extraordinary beings to advance more slowly. Take it one step at a time, don't rush, and be steady."

"..."

Luo Er, Zhong Wei, and Nan Jin chatted for a long time.

Gu Shen's consciousness entered the Jingzhe dreamland. Obviously, there would be a "long" free time next, which could be used to exchange ideas on extraordinary cultivation.

"Junior Sister Nan Jin." Luo Er asked with a smile, "I heard from the teacher that you withstood A-009's attack?"

"It's a complicated situation, hard to explain in a few words."

Nan Jin shook her head. "Actually, it can't be considered withstanding... If A-009 had continued to rampage, I would have died then."

At the critical moment, A-009 stopped attacking.

She looked at the sleeping boy on the chair, her eyes complicated... She had wanted to save Gu Shen, but at the critical moment, Gu Shen saved her instead.

"If I remember correctly, the last time we met was in the Capital District, right? Back then, you weren't even as tall as me, holding a knife, squatting in the corner, stubbornly like grass in a crack... And now, you're already a person who can stand alone."

Senior Sister Luo gestured, quite emotional.

"Draw your knife against me."

Then, she put her hands behind her back and said, "Let me see how much you've improved in the past few years."

"Senior Sister..."

Nan Jin's heart stirred.

This was an excellent opportunity.

Senior Sister Luo's strength was very strong. Besides the teacher, no one was more suitable to be her sparring partner!

"Okay."

She didn't hesitate and directly drew the long knife from her waist.

After fighting A-009, she always felt like she was missing something... Now was the best opportunity to hone herself!

With a "buzz," the wind in the training ground flowed backward at this moment. Sharp knife *gang* (qi of the blade) seeped out from the patterns engraved on the long knife like flowing water, and thousands of silver rays floated in the air, then formed a vortex and began to rotate.

In the silent training ground, an invisible pressure slowly descended—

Zhong Wei smiled and took two steps back, sitting on a long chair with Gu Shen. He leisurely watched this scene. Above his head, thousands of strands of heavy pressure falling with the knife's momentum came to the sky above the long chair, immediately melted away like ice and snow, and were easily resolved.

Senior Sister Luo's ponytail fluttered in the wind.

She stood in place plainly, looked at the knife domain Nan Jin was currently displaying, and frowned slowly... Why was this knife domain so familiar?

That's right.

She remembered that the profiling scene on the rooftop was very similar to the present. The means Gu Shen used to awaken his extraordinary abilities and counter-kill the power-type extraordinary being were exactly the same as Nan Jin's knife domain.

"Is it a coincidence?"

There was no time to think about it.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the knife—

Luo Er looked up, and the overwhelming silver-white knife *gang* surged like a tide, like an angry sea, almost completely submerging her.

The entire underground training ground was swept by the knife *gang*. The copper walls and iron walls and huge glass mirrors were all shattered, like brittle shells peeled off by waves. The knife *gang* formed a tornado.

In the violent tornado, only one long chair was not destroyed.

Zhong Wei watched this good show with his cheek in his hand, with appreciation and regret in his eyes.

Nan Jin's eyes were full of high fighting spirit, and she raised the battle knife high with both hands. Although she was a woman, she was like a god with the power to split mountains. Countless silver rays gathered into a line and slashed "slowly" towards Senior Sister Luo—

This move was extremely powerful.

But it was too slow. If it was a decisive battle on the ground, the opponent could easily escape.

But now it was underground, and... her opponent was Senior Sister Luo.

Luo Er would not dodge, nor did she want to dodge.

Since she let Nan Jin make a move, she had a 100% certainty that she could take this move.

As the vast knife light descended, Senior Sister Luo still did not move a step. She just stared at the hot and dazzling knife light, seeing every inch of the internal structure clearly... Then, she raised a hand.

At this moment, time seemed to slow down.

The iron skin debris rolling around the periphery of the knife qi tornado turned into mechanical arms with the control of Senior Sister Luo's five fingers. If someone opened a mountain, she would divide the sea.

"Rumble—"

After Senior Sister Luo made her move.

Countless, furious knife *gang* wandering in the air dissolved at an extremely fast speed. Every time it resisted an inch, Nan Jin could feel her willpower and physical strength being consumed at an extremely fast speed.

She held the knife with both hands, pulled open her stance, and the hem of her windbreaker was blown open by the blasting air, almost parallel to the ground. Nan Jin's low roar was drowned in the void knife sounds. The carvings on the silver knife were more brilliant than ever. In the process of confronting "Senior Sister Luo," she felt even greater pressure than A-009. The knife was only a little distance away from hitting Senior Sister...

But Nan Jin could not complete the final "resistance" with all her strength.

In the end, even pressing down one centimeter became a luxury.

A hair's breadth away was like a chasm.

"Crack!"

The silver knife made a crisp sound, blooming a crack, but still could not move forward.

A little more.

A little more...

Nan Jin had no intention of giving up.

The last bit of distance!

Break it! Shatter it!

Before she ran out of strength, the silver knife successfully broke through and slashed to the end.

...

...

"Drip."

A drop of sweat fell on the ground, splashing out crystal fragments.

Nan Jin stared at the sweat sliding down her cheek and the knife fragments shattered on the ground, her heart full of joy.

Her knife... was delivered.

Although Senior Sister Luo was unharmed and still calm, her standing position was different from before.

If you were careful, you would notice that Senior Sister Luo had moved a step to the side, and the place where she originally stood was chiseled out with a sharp knife *gang*.

Pieces of broken iron skin were driven by strong and stable mental strength and restored, like paper being smoothed by fingers, and stuck back on the inner wall of the training ground.

"You are stronger than I thought. Breaking through the sixth level of the Deep Sea is only a matter of time."

Luo Er raised her hand, and the broken blade also flew into her palm, gathering into a complete substantial battle knife.

Everything returned to normal.

"This move, did you comprehend it while fighting A-009? Not bad, the lethality is very strong." She came to Nan Jin and handed out the battle knife, "But in terms of subtle control... you still lack something. If you can perfectly control every strand of knife intent, this knife will be enough to hurt me."

"..."

Nan Jin silently noted her senior sister's guidance.

"Perfectly controlling every strand of knife intent is too harsh."

Zhong Wei stood up and said solemnly, "Junior Sister, your knife already has the meaning of 'origin'. Among your peers, not many people should be able to do this. Don't be too strict with yourself."

Nan Jin, who caught the long knife with both hands, felt a slight change in weight. The tip of the knife seemed to be missing a section.

She was slightly startled.

The entire training ground was restored by Senior Sister Luo's mental strength, but the pit where she originally stood still existed, and a section of the blade was inserted there.

"Let the tip of this knife... be a souvenir and leave it here. You know, there are only a few people in the entire Tribunal who can hurt me."

Luo Er stood on tiptoes, patted Nan Jin's shoulder, and praised seriously, "It's not easy for you to do this. Zhong Wei is right, don't be too strict with yourself. Sometimes stopping is also a kind of cultivation."

The teacher sent a message telling herself.

Nan Jin has been working very hard to cultivate in the past few years. There is nothing wrong with wanting to become stronger, but everything has a process, and gradual progress is in line with the laws of nature. Those who shine brightly from the beginning are always easy to burn out the power of their lives.

"Thank you..."

Nan Jin just shook her head and didn't say much, neither accepting nor refusing.

"Unknowingly, it's been more than four hours."

Zhong Wei stroked his chin and murmured, "Gu Shen hasn't woken up yet..."

According to Senior Sister's profiling results, Gu Shen should be a mental-type extraordinary being.

Four hours of comprehension time is not very long. It is difficult to comprehend the Jingzhe Breathing Technique. There are many geniuses in the Tribunal who take seven or eight hours to comprehend it.

But for the highly anticipated S-class, it's a bit long to not comprehend Jingzhe in four hours...

If this news spreads, it may have a negative impact on Gu Shen's review.

As a dream caster, Luo Er can still sense some trends in the dream world... She released her mental power to investigate and found that Gu Shen's spirit was very relaxed at the moment, and he didn't look like he was comprehending Jingzhe at all.

"This kid sounds... like he's snoring?"

Zhong Wei was a little dumbfounded.

Then, the soothing mental power slowly condensed, a sign of waking up.

"Four hours... thirty-nine minutes..."

He glanced at the time.

"As an 'S' class mental-type extraordinary being... it's a bit slow."

Compared horizontally among mental-type cultivators, this result is too mediocre.

"It doesn't matter, as long as he comprehends it, I used eight hours back then." Luo Er raised her eyebrows. "Gu Shen has a long way to go."

Her face showed a serious expression, and she said seriously, "Remember, today's events must not be spread. The comprehension time of Jingzhe may affect the Tribunal's review results."
