But I shall definitely say a few words before we begin our grand quest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First of all, all of you chose to come here on your own will. No one forced you. You came for different reasons. Power. Money. Revenge. Survival.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t care about your reasons.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What matters is what you become from this point forward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rai watched silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valentina smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adonis raised his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And from his grasp, the Time Dilation Disk appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment it manifested, the air itself seemed to tighten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The recruits felt it. Something was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the reason you’re here.\" Adonis said, holding it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Murmurs spread among the young recruits:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What could it be?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have no idea. But our lord is really cool, don’t you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, he is dashing and handsome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring their whispers, Adonis continued,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Inside this domain, time flows differently.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their attention focused on him instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"While the outside world moves normally...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You will train here, grow, and break your limits. And when you step out...you will no longer be the same people who walked in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The recruits erupted at once:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"God! That’s definitely a legendary artifact. Where did our lord manage to get it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck. This is insane. We can grow faster than our peers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought our lord was just a disgraced noble with abundant money to splurge, but this changes everything. He is really serious about us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wonder what kind of rewards I will get if I perform well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Adonis lowered his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From this moment onward, you are no longer abandoned talents.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are the foundation of the Shadow-Blood Legion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air trembled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Adonis finished speaking, the atmosphere inside the underground base shifted completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hesitation in the recruits’ eyes slowly faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In its place, something new was born.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hunger. Determination. And a burning desire to rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adonis lowered his hand, and with a subtle motion, the Time Dilation Disk activated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, a faint green light expanded outward, spreading across the entire underground facility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz! Buzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Roman clock symbols rotated slowly in the air before dissolving into an invisible domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing seemed to change at first. But soon they saw time moving super slowly outside the Time Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adonis turned his back to the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rai. Valentina.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stepped forward instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Divide them,\" Adonis commanded. \"Based on their current level, talent, and Sword Soul compatibility.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rai nodded immediately, his earlier hesitation gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valentina’s crimson eyes gleamed with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is going to be fun, Adonis.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within minutes, the recruits were separated into groups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some had decent foundations. Some were completely raw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But all of them had one thing in common: Potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The training began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang. Clang. Clang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clashing swords echoed through the underground hall. Footsteps thundered against the stone floor. Heavy breathing, frustrated groans, and sharp commands filled the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rai took charge of one section.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your stance is wrong,\" he snapped at a young swordsman. \"If you can’t even stabilize your footing, you’ll never land a proper strike.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy gritted his teeth and adjusted himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Again,\" Rai ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steel clashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rai did not show mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Faster. Stronger. Sharper. If you hesitate, you will die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone was harsh but effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The recruits under him began improving rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Valentina moved like a shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elegant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deadly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked between her minions, her presence alone making them surrender.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relax your grip,\" she said softly to one vampire girl. \"A stiff hand leads to a slow blade.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl swallowed nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-yes, my lady.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valentina suddenly moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a single motion, she disarmed the girl and pressed a finger against her throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valentina smiled. \"You see?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her ruby eyes glowed with a mystical charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are alive because I allow it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fear and Respect. Both grew instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her minions trained with unnatural intensity, driven by their blood connection to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the center of it all stood Adonis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He observed every movement, every flaw, every potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasionally, he stepped in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A recruit lunged at him.Whoosh...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adonis didn’t even move his feet. With a simple motion, he redirected the blade and knocked the boy down effortlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your speed is lacking,\" Adonis said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy gasped for breath, staring up at him in awe. \"Yes, My Lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. Try it again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy stood up immediately. This time he was faster, stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, still not enough. Adonis corrected him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one complained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they could see it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were improving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the domain, hours stretched endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweat soaked their clothes. Their muscles screamed. Their hands trembled. But no one stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because everything they needed was here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Food was provided at intervals. High-quality meals rich in nutrients. Clothing was replaced when torn or soaked. Weapons were repaired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And most importantly...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ether Cores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each recruit was given controlled access to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Energy flowed through their bodies, accelerating recovery and strengthening their foundations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The results were terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What would normally take months was happening in hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sword Arts became sharper. Movements became faster. Reactions became instinctive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rai noticed it first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This progress will incur all those top-notch Academies jealousy if they were to see this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He watched one of his recruits execute a clean thrust that would have been impossible for him just hours ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re evolving too fast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valentina licked her lips slightly, clearly enjoying the sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is what happens when time bends in your favor and when your master is a living God.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At one point, Rai approached Adonis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Adonis, do you realize what you’re doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adonis glanced at him, smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rai continued, \"We’ve trained nearly 60 hours inside, while outside only 3 hours had passed. If this continues...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adonis finished his sentence calmly, \"We’ll have an army, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rai shook his head, \"No. Not just an army. A terrifying army.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hours turned into what felt like days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fatigue still existed. Pain still existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But something stronger had replaced doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Belief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each recruit began to understand that they were no longer abandoned. They were being reforged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the edge of the training ground, Adonis stood silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His golden eyes reflected the scene before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clashing blades. Determined faces. Unyielding effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the birth of something dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His lips curved in an evil arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait for me, mother dearest. I am going to destroy everything they had built on your corpse. Brick by brick. I am going to take every one of their lives, be it in the name of justice, or slaughter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1122,"2026-05-30T07:20:36.276Z","2026-06-01T04:30:37.594Z",1,"novelbin.me","a095b15195a18a50ddaabc99c12c92ecf6d188a023eed66a55be4184fd2d5701","sss-rank-harem-sword-my-lustful-life-with-legend-chapter-99","sss-rank-harem-sword-my-lustful-life-with-legend-chapter-137",200,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsss-rank-harem-sword-my-lustful-life-with-legend-cover.jpg"]
