As Huang Wen's gaze fell upon the name "Sword Saint Dugu Jian," the next moment, all of Sword Saint Dugu Jian's attributes appeared before Huang Wen's eyes.
"Character: Dugu Jian."
"Essence: 208 points."
"Qi: 450 points."
"Spirit: 61 points."
"Skills: Saint Spirit Sword Art (Third Layer, First Layer: Sword One to Sword Eighteen; Second Layer: Sword Nineteen to Sword Twenty-two; Third Layer: Sword Twenty-three)."
"Equipment: Peerless Sword (Sword length three feet nine inches, weighs about eight catties, golden hilt, this sword is incomparably sharp, can cut stone and break metal, can cut hair blown by wind, a legendary weapon)."
"Evaluation: Dugu Jian is worthy of the name Sword Saint. Although he is old and his physical quality is not as good as when he was young, his Qi and Spirit have made great progress, creating his own Sword Twenty-three, which is neither alive nor dead, and his primordial spirit is almost invincible."
"Special Note: The first layer of the Saint Spirit Sword Art is an extraordinary-level sword art, the second layer is a legendary-level sword art, and the third layer, Sword Twenty-three, has the power to break through the epic barrier. However, when used, the primordial spirit leaves the body, and the physical body will have no active defense capability. Therefore, you must protect your physical body. If your physical body is destroyed, you will only be able to exist as a spirit."
"Special Note Two: Sword Twenty-three will use spiritual power to create a sword heart hell that condenses the law of the sword and slow down the surrounding space-time, while being immune to attacks other than spiritual power. However, after this sword, spiritual power will be completely exhausted."
"Do you want to integrate the abilities of Sword Saint Dugu Jian?"
Huang Wen looked at the various abilities of Sword Saint Dugu Jian before him, his eyes shifting slightly. It could be said that Sword Saint Dugu Jian was the simplest, yet also the most complex, character he had ever drawn.
He was simple because his skill bar was the shortest; even Ip Man's skill bar had one more than his. However, Sword Saint Dugu Jian's entire cultivation was focused on swordsmanship, so a short skill bar was normal.
And the complexity of Sword Saint Dugu Jian's panel was because he was the first character to come with equipment. After all, Ip Man couldn't carry a wooden dummy, and the God of Gamblers couldn't carry a deck of cards, right?
Moreover, Sword Saint Dugu Jian was the first character in the character draw to have a special note. This had never appeared before, which showed how special Sword Saint Dugu Jian was!
"His essence is far inferior to mine. After all, he never underwent physical enhancement, and his entire cultivation was focused on swordsmanship, so it's reasonable," Huang Wen commented after examining Sword Saint Dugu Jian's panel.
"However, his Qi and Spirit are both stronger than mine, especially his Spirit. It's truly unexpected. He is indeed worthy of being the one who created a sword art where the primordial spirit leaves the body. But, is this 'law of the sword' the key to breaking through the epic barrier?"
"Law? I wonder what it's like. Integrate!" A hint of anticipation flashed in Huang Wen's eyes, and he immediately chose to integrate Sword Saint Dugu Jian's character attributes.
As Huang Wen's words fell, he could clearly feel his essence strengthen slightly, but his Qi and Spirit made rapid progress, especially his Spirit, which increased by nearly four times!
Subconsciously, Huang Wen glanced at his character panel and clearly saw his enormous progress.
"Host: Huang Wen."
"Essence: 1957 points."
"Qi: 847 points."
"Spirit: 82.4 points."
"Under Indestructible Diamond Divine Art state, Essence, Qi, and Spirit are at the maximum of 9999 points. Under Silly Girl state, an additional 1500 points of Essence, 150 points of Qi, and 15 points of Spirit are added. Silly Girl's power can allow attributes to break through the epic barrier, but without the power of laws, power of the same level is inferior to power containing the power of laws."
"Just by using my own Essence, Qi, and Spirit to activate the Indestructible Diamond Divine Art, I have already reached its limit. Perhaps in the future, the Indestructible Diamond Divine Art will be used less and less…" Huang Wen couldn't help but ponder as he looked at his character panel.
"What a pity, Silly Girl's power is still a bit short. Even with her enhancement, it's not enough to reach the epic level. Ten thousand points, even without considering the qualitative change of laws, is equivalent to ten legends. And now, let me properly seclude myself and comprehend this 'law of the sword'!"
"Silly Girl, tell Bell that I'm going into seclusion and won't be able to pick her up or drop her off for a while. Tell her to focus on her classes, and I'll go see her after I come out of seclusion…"
As soon as Huang Wen finished speaking, he directly closed his eyes. He had no intention of taking out the Peerless Sword, because Sword Twenty-three was the same with or without the Peerless Sword. This was a sword of the primordial spirit, and the Peerless Sword couldn't help.
Moreover, Huang Wen wasn't going to fight; he just wanted to comprehend the "law of the sword" within Sword Twenty-three, to understand the gap between himself and the epic level.
However, what Huang Wen didn't expect was that this seclusion would be much longer than he had imagined. Originally, he thought this seclusion would only last three to five days at most, but he didn't expect to be in seclusion for a full three months!
During these three months, many things also happened. First, after Bell received Huang Wen's message, she initially just pouted, but when she realized Huang Wen hadn't appeared for many days, Bell became worried.
Fortunately, although Huang Wen was in seclusion, Silly Girl did not stop operating. Silly Girl told Bell that Huang Wen was safe and sound and was in seclusion, and even sent a video to Bell, which finally put Bell at ease.
During this period, two more people moved into the Wing Chun martial arts hall: Bruce Banner and Betty Ross. That day, after listening to Huang Wen's words, Bruce Banner went to Betty Ross to confess, telling her everything.
Facing Bruce Banner's heartfelt conversation, Betty Ross sighed softly and finally spoke of her concerns during this time.
The main reason, of course, was still the Hulk. Betty Ross felt that she not only loved Bruce Banner but also liked the Hulk. The sense of security the Hulk had given her when he saved her was something Bruce Banner could not provide.
This was originally a good thing, but Betty Ross felt as if she had betrayed Bruce Banner and fallen in love with someone else, so she began to deliberately distance herself from Bruce Banner, also to distance herself from the Hulk.
"Master said that the Hulk is actually another me. You've only fallen in love with another personality of me. What's wrong with that?" Bruce Banner was also stunned when he heard Betty Ross's words, but he quickly thought of something and explained with a smile to Betty Ross.
"Really?" Betty Ross's eyes were slightly red, and she looked at Bruce Banner with some disbelief. When she saw Bruce Banner's firm gaze, they kissed passionately.
"Roar! Hulk!" Bruce Banner's excitement caused the Hulk to emerge, and then Bruce Banner quickly suppressed his heartbeat and embraced Betty Ross. It could only be said that there was a reason why Bruce Banner became the Hulk.
