Floating Island - Triple S Talent

In the ant monster\'s right hand was a long, sharp, gray sword, seemingly made from the bones of a long-dead monster. Another frightening aspect of the monster was its pointed beak, 30 cm long. Lein was curious whether the bone sword was sharper than its beak.

Lein checked the status panel of the ant monster.

[Sword Ant Warrior]

- Attributes: STR +1000, INT +1000, AGI +1000, RES +1000

- Skills: (Basic Swordsmanship), (Heart Cleaving Slash), (Steadfast Sword Heart)

"What the..."

"Only 1000 points on average?"

Lein couldn\'t believe the status of the monster in front of him. Weren\'t 1000 points on average too low?

"I can crush this ugly ant with my bare hands," Lein said dismissively.

His sword was one of the biggest contributors to his strength. He actually considered the sword in his hand to be an ordinary sword, but it turned out to be very powerful. The sword alone contributed 1600 points to Lein\'s status. Now, looking at the monster in front of him, even without the Holy Sword, he could slice it into 100 pieces.

"Let\'s go..." Lein shouted in his mind.

With just one leap, he reached the side of the ant monster.

Slash...

Thud... thud...

The ant monster was easily and quickly sliced in half before it could react. The top part of the monster lay lifeless on the grassy ground.

[Successfully killed (Sword Ant Warrior), obtained core altar]

Soon, the monster\'s entire body shattered into pieces of white light and vanished. However, a box-shaped object appeared where the ant monster\'s body had disappeared.

Lein picked it up and opened the information panel.

(Core Altar) Soul altar fragment x1

"It seems this is used to form the core," Lein muttered.

Sshhh...

"Someone\'s coming," Lein said in his mind, his instincts alerting him to approaching danger.

Sure enough, another ant monster appeared, moving very quickly. But to Lein, its movements were a bit slow. This time, it wasn\'t just one ant monster; there were 10 of them.

[Sword Ant Warrior]

- Attributes: STR +1100, INT +1100, AGI +1100, RES +1100

- Skills: (Basic Swordsmanship), (Heart Cleaving Slash), (Steadfast Sword Heart)

"Increasing by 100 points, huh? Alright, come here," Lein was slightly surprised to see the monster\'s points had increased by 100 each. But he wasn\'t afraid; he approached the monsters coming toward him.

Clang... zing...

Lein\'s Holy Sword clashed with the ant monster\'s bone sword.

Slice...

Thud...

[Successfully killed (Sword Ant Warrior), obtained core altar]...

"So strong."

Lein saw the bone sword in the ant monster\'s hand break, split in two.

Argh...

The ant monsters behind didn\'t stay idle; they attacked and approached Lein with hostile gazes.

Lein moved forward again, targeting the right group of monsters. First, he slashed horizontally in front of him, then his sword shadow followed, slicing the three frontmost monsters. Next, Lein ducked his head and slashed upward from below, cutting down the remaining ant monsters.

Slash... slash...

Lein\'s slashes were like a sword cutting through water, effortlessly and silently. The ant monsters appeared panicked and fearful, but they could do nothing. The person before them seemed intent on their deaths.

Slash... slash...

[Successfully killed (Sword Ant Warrior), obtained core altar]...

[Successfully killed (Sword Ant Warrior), obtained core altar]...

In just a few simple moves, Lein wiped out the ten ant monsters effortlessly.

As usual, Lein collected the core altars that had dropped from the ten monsters. He deliberately didn\'t duplicate them now because he wanted to observe the entire trial process. Besides avoiding the emergence of important items, his main goal was to give his sister, Nita, an idea of the core formation trial.

Not long after the ten ant monsters died, another wave of ant monsters appeared, more than 100 of them. Their average attribute points increased to 1,200.

Argh... arr...

A hundred ant monster soldiers came as if going to war, appearing very coordinated and more intelligent. Some had already activated their main skills, making their auras stronger.

But in the face of Lein\'s absolute power, he easily destroyed each group of approaching monsters. Lein didn\'t even use any skills, only relying on his swordsmanship.

[Successfully killed (Sword Ant Warrior), obtained core altar]...

[Successfully killed (Sword Ant Warrior), obtained core altar]...

Two minutes passed, and all 100 sword ant monsters were dead.

After collecting the dropped core altars, Lein saw a different type of monster appear.

Wolf-like monsters with 10 cm long, sharp fangs. The wolves had very white, slightly thick fur, making them look beautiful. However, their sharp red eyes made them look fierce.

[White Lake Wolf]

- Attributes: STR +2000, INT +2000, AGI +2000, RES +2000

- Skills: (Wolf\'s Fury), (Death Gaze), (Intermediate Swordsmanship)

"Jumping straight to 2000?" Lein muttered softly.

A hundred wolf monsters with an average of 2000 attribute points, and a hundred sword ant monsters with an average of 1300 attribute points.

"Hmmm... it would take time to finish off all these monsters," Lein said while calculating efficiency in his head. He had 53 minutes left, so he had to act quickly.

Lein immediately activated one of his sub-skills to speed up the process of killing the monsters in front of him.

(Sword Aura) Activates a sword aura for 5 minutes, increasing damage and attack speed by 60%.

- Level: 50 (40,300/216,750,000)

- Base Power: +500%

- Rarity: Rare

- Cooldown: 1 minute

- Requirement: Tier-2, Swordsman

Sword Aura was one of Lein\'s skills that increased attack speed. Additionally, he had leveled up the skill to level 50, consuming over 21,000 high-grade Insight Stones.

"I\'m coming..." Lein muttered to himself.

Lein\'s body disappeared and reappeared without warning in the middle of the monster wave. He then performed several spinning slashes, cutting down every approaching monster.
