What an unconventional approach. This method is almost impossible for anyone else to replicate—only he could do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Morris's speculation based on Daniel's previous performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the moment Daniel's strength improved, he quickly resonated with the sword scar. That was why Morris had such a guess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this technique was something almost no one else could achieve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for Daniel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if others wanted to imitate it, they simply couldn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because it required one to level up in such a short time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who said that simply leveling up would allow someone to trigger the sword scar?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel could do it...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only because he was special.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for how exactly Daniel resonated with the sword scar, Morris wasn't sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were as simple as leveling up to achieve resonance, then Thousand Suns Hall wouldn't remain such a small force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morris looked at Daniel again, his expression complicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had almost...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had almost rejected someone with monstrous talent in both forging and magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Morris couldn't help but want to slap himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After spending all these years in Artisan's Sanctuary...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had grown too arrogant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were in the past, he might have actually taken a look at Daniel's talents, as Dixon had strongly recommended, before making a decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of rejecting him outright without even meeting him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dixon had insisted on vouching for Daniel back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why he had agreed to the condition—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Daniel ranked in the top ten of the Enlightenment Competition, he could enter Artisan's Sanctuary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Morris let out a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation wasn't too bad yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was still acceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, all forty contestants had taken their turns, leaving their own sword scars on the Blue Stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the later participants, only one managed to surpass the first young man, achieving just over two and a half inches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another contestant exceeded three inches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the rest?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had essentially failed completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it was Veya's turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Daniel's encouraging gaze, Veya took a deep breath and stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She picked up the sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, through her conversation with Daniel, Veya had gained a deeper understanding of sword intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few breaths later—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of sword light streaked across the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Veya's sword sliced through the Blue Stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the numerous sword scars left on the stone, hers was particularly striking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked deeper than the three-inch scar left by the previous contestant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Veya herself was shocked by what she had done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had never imagined that she could achieve this result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The best score so far?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course—except for Daniel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, Veya had only aimed for the top ten, expecting a result of around two inches deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But never in her wildest dreams did she think…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her strike would reach over three inches!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Veya knew her own capabilities well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she had relied solely on herself, she never would have been able to achieve this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key factor was Daniel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren't for Daniel's insights during their conversation…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he hadn't answered her questions about sword intent…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She would never have achieved this level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel's guidance—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just this one lesson alone…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could easily be considered a true inheritance-level technique in Thousand Suns Hall!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Blue Jade Guild behind Thousand Suns Hall might take an interest in Daniel!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Veya looked at Daniel with a complicated expression and softly said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only she knew how much Daniel's guidance had truly helped her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A truly surprising result!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Thousand Suns Hall official looked at Veya's sword scar and sighed in admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he knew…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real genius was still yet to take action!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel had not made his move yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone at the scene knew that once Daniel attacked, their own performances would become meaningless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just moments ago, when Daniel was leveling up, the sword scar on the Blue Stone had reacted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of them were fools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all felt it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which was why…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hurried to take their turns before Daniel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, if they had to go after him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They might as well give up on competing entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one wanted their martial hearts shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So everyone rushed to strike before Daniel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel didn't mind at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still had some insights to share with Veya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let them go first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Veya…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Getting second place was good enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, after Daniel had finished teaching…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The forty contestants had all completed their turns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, only one person remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daniel, right? It's your turn now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Thousand Suns Hall official called out his name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He actually had a good impression of Daniel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Daniel had not rushed to strike first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had waited for everyone else to finish before making his move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Daniel had gone first, the later contestants might have lost all confidence and dropped out immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't just about losing—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Discover more stories at My Virtual Library Empire\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was about public humiliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel's score was definitely going to be terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he went first, the other contestants would hesitate to even try.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some might withdraw from the competition just to avoid embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By letting them go first, the competition remained intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the only thing people would remember from this Enlightenment Competition was:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A monstrous genius appeared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if Daniel had gone first?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The story would have been different:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A monstrous genius appeared, and everyone else foolishly challenged him, only to be humiliated one by one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, the order of events was crucial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this, the Thousand Suns Hall official felt a growing sense of curiosity and respect for Daniel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All eyes were on Daniel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was eager to see—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This genius who had leveled up mid-competition and resonated with the sword scar…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of result would he achieve?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the watchful gazes of the crowd, Daniel took the sword from Veya's hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the Blue Stone, observing the various sword scars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, without much thought, he casually found an empty spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And swung his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the most ordinary, unremarkable sword strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a normal person could have done it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no special effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just a simple, honest sword strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment his sword landed—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Blue Stone…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Split in half like tofu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the cutting surface was smooth as a mirror!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Thousand Suns Hall official saw this scene—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And completely lost control of his facial expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he had no idea how to react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Enlightenment Competition had been held many times before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deepest sword scar ever recorded was nine inches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one had ever gone beyond that—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the sword intent contained in the original scar was capped at nine inches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only way to surpass that limit…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was if someone's understanding of the sword's rules surpassed the original creator of the scar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Daniel…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't just surpass nine inches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cut the entire Blue Stone in half!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was beyond anything imaginable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Thousand Suns Hall had acquired this Blue Stone, something like this had never happened before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The official stood there, completely stunned—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no idea what to do next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How was it even possible for the Blue Stone to be cut in half?!\u003C\u002Fp>",1268,"2026-06-06T15:56:16.256Z",1,"novelbin.me","73b4a351bb01210ff71ac225b44a6a80d797da977cdc4e854f8c40b64efb23fb","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-398","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-396",734,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-cover.jpg"]
