He Ao quietly observed the knight's sword in the wooden case. In his "Spiritual Vision," the sword itself did not possess a particularly strong "transcendent power," but scattered "twisted patterns" faintly lingered on those intricate runes.
The proportion of transcendent power contained within the sword was not especially high.
He Ao reached out, grasped the hilt of the knight's sword, and lifted it.
The moment he did so, he felt his soul touched by some force, and countless pale-purple lights flowed from the guard of the hilt, spreading like water entering a river, quickly filling the intricate runes on the hilt.
At the same time, numerous chaotic and distorted thoughts flooded into He Ao's mind: greed, jealousy, resentment...
These twisted desires surged like a tide, filling He Ao's brain, inundating his body, and assaulting his will.
He Ao's expression remained unchanged, as he lowered his head, looking at the knight's sword in his hand.
