Luo Fan seemed tireless, swinging his battle blade again and again.
His exertion of force at this moment was like ocean waves, layer upon layer, stacking one after another.
He realized that the "Ninety-Nine Thunder Blade" also had something in common with waves.
The "Ninety-Nine Thunder Blade" was an upgraded version of the "Ninefold Thunder Blade."
The "Ninefold Thunder Blade" was originally a way of increasing power through the application of hidden force.
However, because the Thunder God had only obtained a small amount of incomplete information from the ruins,
each layer of his hidden force only contained seventy percent of his maximum power.
Furthermore, it couldn't be applied to speed and defense.
Although one could use this power in the legs to enhance speed, it was far from multiplying the force.
And the way hidden force was applied was just like waves upon waves crashing onto the shore.
The "Ninety-Nine Thunder Blade" worked in the same way.
Luo Fan began to combine the momentum of waves with the "Ninety-Nine Thunder Blade."
Although the "Ninety-Nine Thunder Blade" carried the word "Thunder," it could actually be cultivated with any attribute.
"Thunder Blade" merely meant that the speed of the strike had to be like falling lightning, fast as a flash.
Luo Fan began to perform one strike after another of the "Ninety-Nine Thunder Blade."
Unknowingly, the force he exerted began to increase gradually.
After swinging the battle blade countless times, he closed his eyes and began to feel the surrounding waves.
No one knew how much time passed before he suddenly opened his eyes.
In the next instant, he swung his blade with full power.
With that strike, he directly cut apart the waves before him.
If that strike had been aimed at a person, the opponent would have felt as if they were struck by multiple raging waves at once.
After Luo Fan unleashed that strike, he suddenly came back to himself.
He realized he was still on Misty Island.
Even his posture hadn't changed; he was still sitting cross-legged on the ground.
The sea and waves he had just seen were completely gone.
However, at this moment, everything that had just happened remained vividly clear in his mind.
He stood up and drew his battle blade.
He walked to the lakeside and swung a full-force strike toward the front.
"Pa!"
As the blade struck the water's surface, the lake was actually split open, leaving a gap.
The lake water was parted by that one strike.
Not only that, Luo Fan also noticed that the water level of the lake had dropped slightly.
That strike just now, aside from its terrifying sharpness, even carried a pressure like raging waves.
That moment had actually been very brief.
Now, the gap that Luo Fan had split open was refilled by the lake water.
In addition, he also discovered that the lake water surged outward like ocean waves, crashing toward the distance.
Because of the thick fog shrouding the area, Luo Fan couldn't see what lay far away.
However, he had no time to care about that now.
At this moment, he was overwhelmed with great joy.
He was completely certain — that strike just now carried an artistic conception!
His blade technique had reached the realm of artistic conception!
That strike just now was as if it carried endless raging waves.
That was why the entire surface of the lake had been pressed down for an instant.
Just then, he noticed that on his system template, his power amplitude had become 10!
The first nine forms of the Ninety-Nine Thunder Blade had actually reached perfection.
Not only that, the remaining layers of the Ninefold Thunder Blade had also reached perfection.
[Mission: Achieve mastery of the Ninefold Thunder Blade at the level of Transcendence. Reward: Complete version of "Ninety-Nine Thunder Blade", Comprehension +400]
He quickly created a mission.
However, when he thought of all the missions he had failed to create before, his heart ached.
Because of those missed missions, he had lost at least several hundred, maybe even a thousand points of comprehension income.
That was a reward that could double his comprehension!
Thinking of this, Luo Fan felt even more sorrowful.
At this moment, he only wanted to increase his mission quota as quickly as possible.
Right now having only four was truly too few.
If he had enough mission slots, he could directly create a large number of proficiency missions.
After all, he would definitely complete them sooner or later.
That way, he wouldn't miss out on rewards.
Unfortunately, he suspected that the mission quota would only increase when he broke through to a higher major realm.
Thinking of this, he became even more eager to reach the Planetary Level.
He stood up and moved around a little.
Now his power level had reached tenfold, and his blade technique had reached the realm of artistic conception.
So now, he could go and collect all the plant spirits.
Soon, he had collected all the plant spirits except for the nine willow trees.
Now, only those nine willow trees were left.
He came to stand before the nine willow trees and first created a mission.
[Mission: Collect eight Thousand-Year Willow Hearts and one Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Heart. Reward: 10 tons of Wood Spirit Liquid, 1 kilogram of Azure Wave Marrow]
The moment Luo Fan saw the reward, he was overjoyed.
He hadn't expected that this time he would actually be rewarded with Azure Wave Marrow.
It had to be known that Azure Wave Marrow was used for Planetary-Level warriors to cultivate.
If an apprentice-level warrior frequently used Azure Wave Marrow, they would almost certainly be able to break through to the Planetary Level.
Of course, Azure Wave Marrow couldn't compare to Wood Bud Crystals.
A single Wood Bud Crystal could let a peak War God-level expert break through to the Planetary Level.
But as for Azure Wave Marrow, it required long-term use to possibly help a warrior break through to the Planetary Level.
Used in that way, its cost-effectiveness was relatively low.
Moreover, even though the medicinal effect of Azure Wave Marrow was mild and very suitable as a drink or for cultivation,
that was only for Planetary-Level warriors.
For apprentice-level warriors, they couldn't use too much at a time.
Generally, 1 gram per use was already the limit.
However, 1 kilogram of Azure Wave Marrow was no small amount.
This was enough for Luo Fan to cultivate from breaking through to the Planetary Level all the way to Planetary Level Three.
In addition, Luo Fan had just looked at the effect of the Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Heart.
The reason this mission's reward was so generous was mainly because of that Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Heart.
Among all the plant spirits on Misty Island, this Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Heart was considered the most valuable.
Its effect was that, after being taken by a ninth-level apprentice warrior, there was a chance to break through to the Planetary Level.
Of course, the broader the brain domain, the harder it was to break through to the Planetary Level, and the lower the chance.
However, even so, this was still extremely precious.
It was also for this reason that Azure Wave Marrow appeared as part of this mission's reward.
Luo Fan did not hesitate. He directly took his battle blade and stepped into the attack range of the nine willow trees.
At once, the nearest willow tree swung countless willow branches at Luo Fan like whips.
Luo Fan looked at the overwhelming willow branches before him, his expression completely unchanged.
He swung his blade at the branches.
In the next instant, all the willow branches were severed.
Those severed branches were still slowly regrowing.
However, that willow tree immediately retracted all of its branches.
It, too, had a certain instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm.
But Luo Fan did not intend to let it go.
He struck again, completely cutting down that willow tree.
Luo Fan didn't immediately collect the Thousand-Year Willow Heart inside, but continued walking toward the other eight willow trees.
Very soon, Luo Fan had cut down all of the willow trees.
Having comprehended the Intent of Raging Waves and reaching tenfold power output, even the Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Tree was no match for him.
