The Exalted Warrior novel Chapter 2040

The seconds ticked by and the only constant was the pitch-black darkness. It was not hard to imagine what would happen when the war between Dual Sovereign Pavilion and Muddled Origin Clan finally began.

Although he did not plan to join the frontline, sooner or later he would have to for the sake of contribution points. What kind of trials would he have to face at that time, he was not sure himself, the only thing he could do was to continuously improve his cultivation.

Only when he was strong enough then he would be able to protect himself in the war. Even if he were to encounter dangerous situations, with enough power, he would survive. That was why, through gritted teeth, Fane persevered on with training even though he was both mentally and physically exhausted.

After condensing the fourth Soul Sword on the sixth day, he immediately began to condense the fifth Soul Sword. He planned to use the remaining time to complete the condensation of the fifth Soul Sword. He kept performing hand seals and the surrounding soul-shockwave continued to crash over him like a tidal wave.

Days passed and on the twelfth day, two-thirds of the fifth Soul Sword was already condensed but the same problem resurfaced as his spirit energy became unsustainable again. His spirit energy was so dried up that his true energy was running dangerously low too.

After several days of training, he constantly invoked the true energy in his body. Destroying the Void was a weapon of the soul attribute but when it came down to it, he would need to invoke his true energy too. Similarly, condensing the Soul Sword required his spirit energy to be supported by his true energy.

Over time, there was not much true energy left. Taking another soul-penetrating pill would solve the insufficient spirit energy but not the depleting true energy. Without the support of the true energy, he would not be able to condense the fifth Soul Sword with the remaining time.
