Alex stopped his Sword Aura. While he did learn it, it was a bit too strong for him at the moment to continue keeping it active without throwing it out.
Also, he was certain that he was still going to need a lot of practice to use it multiple times.
The amount of mental strain alone used up by his Intent to create Sword Qi around him would be a lot for him now.
'Well, it's only been a month since I entered anyway. I have a lot of time,' Alex thought.
Once the Sword Aura disappeared, he stood up and walked forward. He got closer and closer to the 10-meter mark that he was told by Pearl.
He had not yet seen the gorge or whatever that lied around it. Until now, he had only been explained that.
So, Alex decided to see it for himself and took his first step into the unknown.
Intense Intent assaulted him the moment he did. He was not the one the Intent was targeting clearly, but even then it was hard to not be attacked by it.
