Three Months Before Exams

This world which was host to many cultivators who can split the oceans and tear the skies was divided into five continents and four forbidden zones. These four forbidden zones were overflowing with dangers, but also treasures that caused the minds of many to be filled with greed.

But, these forbidden zones were ruled by the rulers of the five continents, causing many greedy cultivators to think twice before ever stepping foot in the four forbidden zones. The beings who ruled over the five continents were all the Leaders of the top five Sects.

Each of these sects ruled a continent for itself, but there were always many arguments between sects causing many people to wonder if war may break out in the next 1,000 years.

The five sects were split into three factions.

The world-famous sect, known for being the most powerful, the Sword Art Sect, represented the Neutral Faction. They were the only sect in the world to not care about any of the matters that took place in the Mortal World.

Then there was the Righteous Faction. This faction consisted of the Heavenly Body Sect and the Sky Splitting Sect. The Heavenly Body Sect, as its name suggests, focuses more on Atomic Cultivation, and all had incredibly strong bodies. Though, if Saber knew about them, he'll be shocked to realize that their way of cultivation differed greatly from his body cultivation.

On the other hand, the Sky Splitting Sect fully focused on different weapon techniques and had a mixture of Sage and Atomic cultivators. With the combined efforts of these two sects, the Righteous Faction was on a whole, only a few notches weaker than the Sword Art Sect.

Last, but not least, was the Demonic Faction which consisted of the Demonic Cult, and the Bursting Flowers Sect.

Let's first start with the Bursting Flowers Sect. As one could guess from hearing its name, the Bursting Flowers Sect was a dual cultivation sect that uses the other sex as cultivation resources and steals their cultivation using their dual cultivation techniques.

Because of this, they were labeled as Demonic and lustful fiends, and because they weren't the strongest, they had no choice but to join the Demonic Cult, forming the world-famous Demonic Faction.

Now, on the other hand, the Demonic Cult was completely different from all the weaklings mentioned before. Shockingly, and not yet known to the rest of the world, their true strength was even comparable to the Sword Art Sect as they bided their time and awaited a proper moment to unfold their plans!

(Location: Outer Court, Demonic Sect)

Located inside a dimly lit room inside of a rather small building, one can see the sleeping figure of a male. He had pale-looking skin, long blue hair, and seemed to be 6,1 or 6,2 in height. Hovering over him was a drop of dark red blood that released a black mist in its surroundings.

It had a weird smell. If death had a smell, then this would be it. Suddenly, the dark mist oozing out of the drop of blood stopped, and with a quick flash of light that could momentarily blind most, a figure of Adrianna then appeared in view.

She was hovering over the sleeping male's body as she, with clear wrath and anger written on her face, placed her finger on the forehead of the male. Soon after, his figure abruptly and frighteningly turned to that of a skeleton as Adrianna's appearance changed into that of him.

Thereafter, her fingernails turned longer and sharper as she stabbed into the male skeleton's skull and yanked out a shimmering golden ball. Similar to Saber, she also swallowed it without hesitation as her...no, his eyes lit up with a dangerous light.

"From now on, my name is Seth, and I shall get my revenge!!" (S)he said with conviction. The skeleton soon after turned into ash as the Demonic Cult had just found a genius ready to shift the balance of the world along with them.

The countdown for this world began...soon, only chaos and death will remain!!

(Location: Inside Black Ring)

"Oh my, it seems that he truly is special. To be able to last this long, to be able to absorb all nine. Only my 6th disciple was able to do it, and he went on to wipe out billions of creatures before he was eventually killed three times."

The mysterious person said while his eyes which were shrouded by a bright gold light gazed at Saber's lying and unmoving body with coldness. Though he seemed to be happy and pleasantly surprised, he still had a level of indifference comparable to even Saber.

"Well, since he has the highest level of bloodline, this tower will also give him the highest levels of training." He said, soon after, a bright light shot out of the top of the tower as Saber's body disappeared and reappeared in a 10-meter room.

Saber's unmoving body then shook slightly!

After a few seconds, it shook once more, but this time, it was noticeably more violent!

Veins began bulging as his naked body was laid bare for all to see. Multiple veins could be seen bulging on his lower back area thereafter, a foxtail that was a mixture of gold, white, and a darkish blue formed.

Saber's ears also lengthened and took a shape similar to elves. On top of his head, a darkish blue fox ear also took form as the nails in his fingers and toes lengthened along with his canines.

His eyes then shot open revealing a pair of dark blue that had a golden vertical line in the middle splitting it apart.

As these changes happened, they instantly disappeared as Saber weakly got up. He watched at his palms in shock as he felt an incredible abundance of energy.

"What are you doing, it is time to train!"

A voice resounded in Saber's sensitive ears that had reverted to his normal human transformation as Saber couldn't help but say.

"Hey, what training? I am quite strong already!" He said, his voice filled with annoyance as he rubbed his ears.

Tsk!

The mysterious person clicked his tongue in annoyance as he replied. "You are strong?! Haha, don't make me laugh, as you are right now, once someone like even Adrianna doesn't become too arrogant and uses the technique I taught her, then she'll be able to easily kill you.

Even if you are currently a Nascent Soul cultivator, you are incredibly weak compared to others of this realm, and I am not even comparing you to the ones outside of this world!"

The mysterious person's cold words made Saber's arrogance immediately drop two notches as he then heard the mysterious person continue.

"According to my calculations, in the outside world, there is only 1 month before the Inner Sect exams for this so-called Sword Art Sect.

But, that will be enough time to improve you immensely since, as a perk of being a nine-tailed fox, the flow of time in every level of this tower is three times faster than the last.

For example, the first floor where your blood fusion took place had the same flow of time as in the Sword Art Sect, but this room here flows three times faster.

As of this moment, you'll be training the art of the Sword with a few androids for the next three months!"

He said, right after, an android appeared in front of Saber and threw a normal black metallic sword toward Saber as his harsh training then began.
