Chapter 633: Chapter 622: Almost

Holding the Blood River Sword, Wen Wen arrived at an open space and began practicing sword techniques.

The power of Dark Matter was naturally activated, condensing into pure black Sword Qi that flowed around the Blood River Sword and then circulated back into Wen Wen’s body, forming a perfect cycle that slowly enhanced Wen Wen’s strength.

For Wen Wen, the role of Dark Matter Power had always been somewhat awkward. It was generally not needed in regular combat but was decisive in determining Wen Wen’s limits. This power was Wen Wen’s own Superpower, which could only control more formidable strength if strong enough itself.

According to Jin Kela, when Wen Wen’s own power level reached the Disaster True Sequence, he would be able to activate the state of Calamity Prison Supervisor outside the Sanctuary, becoming an actual Catastrophe-Level Expert.

The power Wen Wen could use through the Sanctuary was basically limited to the Upper Sequence Level. To further enhance his power, apart from practicing swordsmanship and other combat techniques, the only way was to elevate the level of Dark Matter.

Wen Wen was very eager to make the power of Dark Matter stronger, but the advancement of a superpower user was never an overnight achievement. Seen from a temporal perspective, his progress was already remarkably fast.

If he could use the opportunity provided by his initial grasp of the Blood River Sword’s power to break through to the Mid-Sequence Realm, it would be more than beneficial for Wen Wen.

Initially, the sword techniques Wen Wen practiced were just some basic chopping, slashing, and stabbing actions. Afterward, it was the sword techniques from Nameless Swordsmanship and Xun-Style Sword Technique, and finally, he began practicing the most challenging move from Nameless Swordsmanship, the "Dragon Slayer Style"!

This move was a technique developed by a Swordsman Containment Officer predecessor to slay the malicious dragon of Qi Ling Mountain. After Wen Wen became proficient in controlling several previous sword techniques, he had also studied this move, but had never been able to properly execute it. However, now that he grasped the Blood River Sword, this move was no longer an obstacle!

Indeed, as Xun Ying said, only after owning his own sword could Wen Wen’s Sword Dao further refine; otherwise, his previous level had already been the limit.

Wen Wen, continuously wielding the sword, gradually entered a strange state, and within this state, his understanding of Dark Matter Power and sword techniques improved rapidly.

The power of Dark Matter seeped out from his body, forming ethereal black silhouettes that practiced swordsmanship with Wen Wen, as if demonstrating all sword techniques at once.

Immersed in his state, Wen Wen did not notice that three Central Administrators had quietly appeared in a corner of the hall, sneakily watching him.

Jin Kela, watching Wen Wen, said, "Among us, I was the first to awaken. The first time I saw him, I thought he was just lucky, having accidentally activated the Sanctuary."

"Later, seeing him take control of the Sanctuary, I thought he was the chosen successor of the Sanctuary, but now, seeing the true form of his superpower user strength, I suspect..."

The Light of Life Nivea, a spark flashing in her eyes, said, "Do you suspect that Wen Wen is that person reborn?"

Jin Kela nodded and said, "I have imagined many possibilities—reincarnation, soul splitting, parasitism... descendancy. In any case, given that power, they must be connected, otherwise I wouldn’t have recently gone out to help him."

With a slight smile, Nivea looked at Wen Wen as if she remembered something, and the green glow on her body became more active.

Living Water Spirit Isweet interjected, "I don’t know what you are expecting, but you should know, that might not necessarily be a good thing."

Jin Kela and Nivea were startled; Isweet was right, it might not necessarily be a good thing.

Nivea sighed and said, "Let’s not talk about that. Do you think he can break through to the Mid-Sequence Realm this time by using this opportunity?"

The three were silent for a moment, then said simultaneously:

"Almost."

After practicing continuously for ten hours, Wen Wen finally stopped; a slight steaming of the black power evaporated the sweat on his body.

"Almost... just a little bit," Wen Wen said, scratching his hair in frustration.

In those ten hours, he had tried numerous times to push the power of Dark Matter to a new realm, but each time he stopped abruptly at the threshold, unable to take that step.

Wen Wen sighed and said, "It’s really like a greedy snake trying to swallow an elephant. Although I’ve made significant progress this time, I’m still not satisfied... To cross this threshold, apart from persistent effort, the only way is to capture another prisoner from a thousand years ago, but where could those guys be?"

The last time he caught Aker Aru, the Sanctuary had provided feedback that allowed Wen Wen’s Dark Matter Power to increase significantly, otherwise this time he wouldn’t have even neared the threshold. So, capturing another prisoner would allow Wen Wen’s Dark Matter to enter the Mid-Sequence Realm!

Speaking of Aker Aru, since he was captured by Wen Wen and brought into the Sanctuary, Jin Kela had taken him somewhere, purportedly to grow Other Shore Flowers. Wen Wen only hoped that when Jin Kela needed fertilizer, he would come to him, and not prepare farmyard manure anymore...

...

Containment Officer meetings were convened normal every week, and the vast majority of the Containment Officers would attend.

Wen Wen did not attend every meeting, just occasionally wearing the standard robes of the meeting, he would blend into the group of Containment Officers to observe their developmental status directly.

Periodically, Wen Wen would recruit one or two superpower users as Containment Officers, so now the group of Containment Officers had nearly eighty people, considerably larger than the initial scale, but spread across the entire Capital District, it still seemed sparse.

As the scale of Containment Officers expanded, the work of establishing Surveillance Points was also proceeding methodically. Wen Wen had left Surveillance Points in over thirty cities in the Capital District, which could issue commands to local Containment Officers through these points.

These more than seventy Containment Officers, many of whom were originally not strong, even considered marginal figures in the Superpower World, had gained a certain fighting capacity through mutual exchanges at meetings or by purchasing Superpower Items from stores.

Like Lin Huan, now in front of Wen Wen, selling opulent gold Amulets, he had undergone a qualitative change through the Sanctuary.

He was no longer just a minor superpower user who could scare Monsters but a formidable Containment Officer who could bring terror to Monsters.

In the Monster community of his city, he had become a terrifying legendary figure; every night, he searched the city for Monsters, giving those creatures a sensation of accelerated heartbeats.

And his manufactured Amulets had been upgraded; they could now genuinely confer blessings and alleviate disasters for ordinary people and defend against certain levels of supernatural attacks.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to promote these things at a Containment Officers meeting...
