A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5164

He remained rooted to the spot, his chest heaving as a tidal wave of power surged through his body, and joy blossomed in his heart. He knew he had just broken through a towering barrier: his sword intent had climbed to a brand-new height.

Blades kept crossing, and with every breath, Jared’s understanding deepened. He discovered that sword intent was not merely destructive strength; it was a communion with heaven and earth, with rivers, forests, and life itself. The golem’s varied techniques were nothing less than physical expressions of that very communion.

In one particularly ferocious clash, the Dragonslayer Sword rang out in a clear, joyful cry and erupted in brilliant light—the first time the weapon had reacted so since acknowledging Jared as its master. He understood at once: as his comprehension soared, so too did his sword’s latent power. From that moment, he no longer regarded the fight as a struggle for survival, but as a rare chance to temper himself. With each exchange, he shattered another personal limit, letting fresh insight flow into his swordsmanship until his style was transformed beyond recognition.

Everett watched from the edge of the hall, thunderstruck. Never in his life had he seen anyone face such mortal peril while still leaping from plateau to plateau of enlightenment. Staring at Jared’s back, he muttered to himself, This man is destined for greatness the rest of us can only imagine.

Time slipped by. Jared’s sword intent swelled to a fearsome realm; each sweep of his blade seemed fused with sky and earth, and the very space around him trembled whenever he attacked. Though the golem’s art remained formidable, it could no longer hem him in as it once had. Then, gathering every revelation he had harvested so far, Jared unleashed a single stroke that blazed across the hall like a river of stars. The stone guardian met it with all its strength, yet the cosmic torrent crashed through and split its granite flesh with countless cracks.
