Dual Cultivator with a cultivation system Chapter 586 586: Ch-585: Sword Phantom

Upon hearing Du Hai's words, even Tian Xue along with the Tian Family's other leaders couldn't restrain themselves from widening their eyes, staring at him in utter shock, as though encountering him anew.

"Is it true, Tian Chenyu?" Tian Xue inquired with a grave tone.

"Yes, I have comprehended Sword Intent. It is solely due to the family's protection," Wang Ming responded.

All those in attendance drew sharp breaths involuntarily, viewing him as if he were some monstrous entity. Then, grins spread across their faces after catching Wang Ming's concluding remark, fully grasping its intent. A prodigy of this caliber—had he emerged beyond a supreme Eternal Family like the Tian Family—would've been crushed without mercy, regardless of being an Eternal.

"No need for excessive courtesy. Take a seat, and let's talk." Tian Xue was on the verge of proceeding when the senior-most elder blocked his path and interjected swiftly.

This sly old fox!

Tian Xue grew irritated at the interruption of his speech. He recognized the elders' scheme—they aimed to curry favor with the prodigy Tian Chenyu, pulling him into their camp later on. Witnessing this, even Du Hai couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Furthermore, with Tian Chenyu unmatched, it was inevitable for every Tian Family member to shower him with attention.

"Disciple Chenyu, come over here. I wish to inspect if you possess a Weapon Phantom, and should you have one, I'll assist in awakening it," Du Hai declared. Wang Ming's gaze flickered. From the inherited memories, he recalled that phantoms represented manifestations of Sword Intent. An item in the system shop had caught his eye for awakening his weapon phantom, yet it cost roughly a million Dual Cultivation Points.

Du Hai's statement prompted the elders to compose themselves and retreat to their positions.

"Thank you, Master," Wang Ming expressed as he advanced.

"Take this and swallow it. It's a Phantom Detection and Awakening Pill," Du Hai remarked, casually offering a violet pill. Wang Ming eyed the pill in his grasp with a spark of interest and inwardly tsked. Never thought I'd encounter this pill outside the simulation. Hopefully, it triggers the phantom's awakening here in reality too.

The instant the pill met Wang Ming's tongue, his frame trembled violently as an alien force stirred deep inside him.

[Heavenly Sword Body is reacting strongly]

[Heavenly Sword Body is attempting to awaken hidden Sword Phantom]

[Heavenly Sword Body has awakened the Dragon Phantom]

Roar!

A torrent of sword intent exploded from Wang Ming's form, accompanied by a mighty roar. Subsequently, a golden dragon's phantom materialized right behind him.

Bang!

"This..." Du Hai sprang up abruptly, eyes bulging in astonishment. He wasn't alone; everyone else in the chamber mirrored his shock.

"D-Dragon Phantom!" an elder stammered.

"Heavens, never imagined he'd manifest the fabled phantom," Tian Xue uttered, rendered speechless.

"Hah, who would've thought I'd enlist such a genius," Du Hai chuckled.

Wang Ming glanced at the dragon looming over his back, equally stunned. Tian Chenyu's knowledge informed him that the Dragon Phantom ranked among the elite, on par with the Phoenix Phantom. These duo stood as the scarcest weapon phantoms, with odds of one in ten billion for sword cultivators to summon them—figures so minuscule they'd turned into mere myths in the actual world.

"Excellent, excellent. Here, accept this. It's a hidden sword art from the Immortal Sword Sect, reserved solely for core disciples. Since you've entered the sect, you're eligible to master it," Du Hai stated, flinging a scroll his way.

"Thank you, Sect Master," Wang Ming replied courteously.

[Immortal Phantom Strike]

[Rank: Mythic]

[Description: This technique utilizes the Sword Phantom of the host. The strength of the Sword Phantom depends on the sword comprehension of the user rather than his cultivation.]

"Immortal Phantom Strike."

Without drawing a sword, Wang Ming invoked the technique. The 50-meter dragon reemerged, grew solid, and lunged with jaws wide to chomp the boulder he'd marked outside.

Boom!

The boulder exploded in fragments, sword intent lingering amid the debris. All sensed the intent ravaging from within, akin to countless tiny blades assaulting internally.

"What? You've mastered it already?" Tian Xue blurted, stupefied.

"Worthy of a Dragon Phantom bearer," Du Hai remarked without surprise, eyeing Wang Ming approvingly.

Wang Ming gave a nod and summoned his status panel.
