After contemplating for a moment, he named the Mana technique,

Overwhelming Sword (Silver ranked Mana Technique): Created by Sword Apprentice: Sage Yuan.

Mana techniques, in the Realm of Spirituality was a term foreign to all players now. But as levels increased and they start learning the operation principles of Mana, they become so important.

Mana techniques, are techniques executed solely with Mana, and they are normally powerful than skills of the same Tier.

Normally, learning a Mana Technique is difficult for players. And it's even note difficult to create one. Mana techniques are a way for players to improve their Mana control!!

Mana control is one of the stringent requirement to reach higher Tier 4, Tier 5 and even Tier 6, which shows how important Mana control is. With Mana techniques being a way to improve Mana control, they become highly sought after by players.

Mana techniques were just like combat techniques. So long as you can power them with mana you can keep executing them infinitely in combat and the power they exhibit isn't any inferior to skills and might even be stronger!

Xuan Yuan casted all thoughts aside and focused on the Guardian who was climbing out of the wall with less than half of his HP.

After acquiring Mana control, Xuan Yuan could passively gather mana around him to burn his Flames and his appearance right now resembled that of a deity of Fire, full of confidence and Majesty. Now, he was confident of killing the Guardian.

Xuan Yuan raised his sword again and a frightening storm of Mana manifested around the sword. He swung the sword again, and a pillar-like blade of light flew at the Guardian exterminating everything in its path.

Boom!! The hall trembled as the blade of light struck the Guardian who executed another defensive skill to block it. But the outcome was just as expected. The blade of light destroyed the small defense and pierced right through his body and left a deep gash on the wall behind him.

The Guardian coughed up blood as his HP dropped to zero and he slowly disappeared into white light which entered into Xuan Yuan's body.

As Xuan Yuan chose to get promoted, he felt the Mana around him increase sharply as his body underwent a qualitative transformation.

After the promotion was successful, Xuan Yuan examined his player tab.

Xuan Yuan closed his tab and shifted his gaze to the purple treasure chest floating quietly at the spot where the Guardian was standing before.

Previously the system said he'd be rewarded based on how long he managed to resist the Guardian for. But after defeating him, that means he was stronger than the Guardian and received an Epic Treasure chest.

The Player that managed to resist his Trial Guardian the longest did so for additional 2 mins and received a Silver rank treasure chest. That was the first time a silver treasure chest appeared and it was rumored that he found a Silver ranked weapon of his class.

Treasure chests have a fixed chance to drop items of their rank and about 10% chance to drop an item one rank above them. For the Epic Treasure chest in front of Xuan Yuan there's a 10% chance that it may drop a Semi Legendary item or even a Legendary item!

At the thought of that, Xuan Yuan was practically drooling so much that saliva dropped on his armor. He rubbed his palms and silently said his prayers.

'God! I know I've been a sinner but I beg you to help me this once, let me obtain something good even if it's just a Epic item. I'll be eternally grateful if you help me!' He prayed...

As the Epic Treasure chest was opened a purplish glow spread to the surrounding blinding Xuan Yuan for a moment before dimming and the item in the chest came into view.

'Holy Shit!' Xuan Yuan exclaimed as he looked at the pitch black sword in the chest flashing strands of electric arcs.

'Epic rank Sword!!' Xuan Yuan was dumbstruck as he took the sword out of the chest. 'Father God! You're really amazing! Thank you lord! Thank you Father!'

He nearly went crazy as he looked at the black sword in his grasp! An Epic sword! A weapon capable of making other swordsmen commit suicide in envy...
