Sparring for several hours in the most intense conditions was sothing that was rather tiring, yet at the sa ti, it was rather beneficial for him. Arcturus rarely had the opportunity to train with the Dinsion Empyrean under such high duress but in rather a safe environnt and conditions.
It was sothing unprecedented because normally, when he was using the Dinsion Emyprean, he was using the Super-High Risk Primal Psyker Ability only when he was fighting against the enemy that he wanted to kill.
Due to the destructive and sotis even unpredictable nature of the Dinsion Empyrean, Arcturus was refraining from using the Super-High Risk Primal Psyker Ability in the sparring matches, as such a thing could be pretty dangerous.
Right now, the only person whom he could spar using the Dinsion Emyprean was Jeniael, who, due to possessing another Super-High Risk Primal Psyker Ability Holy Judgent of God, was able to nullify the effects of the Dinsion Empyrean.
Thus, it was relatively safe to use the Dinsion Empyrean in the sparring.
Or rather, during the sparring season with Jenaiel, due to the Holy Judgnt of God, there was at least so guarantee that if the Super-High Risk Primal Psyker Ability Dinsion Empyrean caused so too-great damage or went out of control, Jenaiel would be able to stop it.
This could happen, even though the possibility of such a thing was relatively low, though nothing was guaranteed. Arcturus, while attaining pretty high control over the Empyrean Power, still knew that if they put too much power into the Dinsion Empyrean and created too much of the Empyrean Power, it would go berserk.
[Proficiency with the Skill Nuclear Chaos Formula has been increased by 5%.]
After their sparring season ended, both of them sat on the ground and began ditating and recovering their Psionic Energy. Appropriate rest after the sparring season was equally important because if not, one could suffer various injuries from the training's aftermath.
Thus, Arcturus sat down cross-legged as he controlled the Psionic Energy in his body through the Nuclear Chaos Formula as he was achieving the perfect circulation of the Psionic Energy within his body.
[Proficiency with the Skill Nuclear Chaos Formula has been increased by 7%.]
[Proficiency with the Skill Nuclear Chaos Formula has been increased by 8%.]
[Proficiency with the Skill Nuclear Chaos Formula has been increased by 4%.]
[Proficiency with the Skill Nuclear Chaos Formula has been increased by 3%.]
After around half an hour, Arcturus felt that he had completely recovered from the sparring season, and his Psionic Energy Reserves were already back at their full capacity. However, he already felt pretty tired and didn't really want to continue in the sparring season using their Super-High Risk Primal Psyker Abilities.
Looking at the ti they had, he knew that they still had a few hours until the dinner, so he proposed to Jeniael to fight purely using their sword skills. When it ca to swordsmanship, this was an area where Jeniael was lagging behind Arcturus a lot, in fact.
And he wasn't just talking about the Basicis as she was terrible in the basics from his viewpoint as soone who was nearing the Grandmaster Realm in the Basic Swordmsnashi which was right now on his list.
Arcturus set a personal goal for himself: to reach the Grandmaster Realm in Basic Swordsmanship as soon as possible. That way, he could progress leaps and bounds in the other Sword Styles that he was practicing and using trendously in an extrely short ti.
As his master told him, once soone beca the Grandmaster in the Basics, they would be able to decipher any Sword Style in record ti and learn it like it was their own from the start.
This was also the reason when he saw the question shortly before his transmigration; he chose only the Basic Swordsmanship and not so other overpowered Skill or Ability that would make him strong right from the start.
Even in this world.
There were countless powerful people, Psyker and Psionics, that could destroy entire worlds when they wished. Warriors who were so powerful that they won were killed even if they got thrown into the sun or a black hole in the Cosmos.
But what is the number of people who achieved the Grandmaster Realm in the Basics of the Weapon Arts?
Those could be counted on one hand, most ironically.
Even in the Androda Galaxy, there are only three of them.
He would be the next one to reach the Grandmaster Realm in the Basic Weapon Arts and thus, he had decided that he would try teaching others.
It was rather a good strategy because through teaching the others, he would be propelling further his own understanding of the topic, while at the sa ti, he would maybe find the answer to reaching the Grandmaster Realm in Basic Swordsmanship.
His own Basic Swordsmanship was stuck at the Level 10 Master - 100%, and he was just one step from breaching the barrier and becoming the Grandmaster, but the thing wasn't that easy, or there would be many more Grandmasters of all kinds.
Yet their kind was extrely scarce.
"Adjust your posture. You are too aggressive in this stance."
Arcturus was correcting Jeniael's stance and moves as he was walking around her while she was performing so basic katas. They were starting low and slow, with the most basic moves at the start, and would be moving onto so more advanced basics later.
Still, as he was basically the peak Master in Basic Swordsmanship, Arcturus was able to see many holes, weaknesses, and even so dangerous habits in Jeniael's combat style with a sword, no matter what sword style she was using or if she was using just basic slashing and cutting.
Nothing like that could escape his trained eye.
Now that he had been doing this for the past half an hour, he realized that teaching others was a pain in the ass, but at the sa ti, he could feel that his insight into Basic Swordsmanship was beginning to increase.
Right now, as he could pass down his knowledge, he needed to co up with a way how to pass it, which led him to ponder how to best explain and execute the various moves and katas, which then once again led to a deepening of the understanding about Basic Swordsmanship.
[Understanding of the Skill Basic Swordmanship has been increased.]
[Barriers between the Level 10 Master - 100% and Grandmaster Realm in the Skill Basic Swordsmanship have started reducing.]
Just as he was about to execute another move to Jeniael, he received a ssage from the system, which elated him with happiness because he had finally made so progress with the Basic Swordsmanship.
He knew that if he continued on this path, then within a few months, he would be able to achieve the Grandmaster Realm in Basic Swordsmanship rather easily. This would finally give him an edge above approximately 99% of people in the Cosmos as the number of the Grandmaster was trendously low.
Another thing would be that, with the Grandmaster Basic Swordmsnaship, he would progress at lightning speed in the Sardau Star Sword and Godslayer Sword Style, which would be imdiately translated to the real, raw power.
[Host has co into contact with the Essence of the Sword.]
[Host has beco Enlightened.]
[Enlightenet is in the progress.]
Suddenly, Arcturus felt like a bolt of electricity shot through him as he stopped in his tracks and gripped his sword, and started slashing into the air. However... this ti, the slashes were more elegant, and even Jeniael looked at the man because this was different from the previous ti when he was fighting.
His gaze was almost unresponsive, and it seed like he wasn't present... at least spirit-wise, because the only thing that mattered was the sword in front of him. Jeniael knew that these were almost textbook-like symptoms of the Enlightennt, which was very rare.
She couldn't help but be jealous a bit that he had achieved Enlightennt because it was sothing that everyone strived for, but more than 90% of all professionals would never experience it in their entire lives, even once.
Such rare cases it was.
Jeniael knew that right now, the only thing that she could do was to remain silent as she sat down on the ground and decided to wait until Arcturus was done and the Enlightennt had passed and he would be present spirit-wise.
Unfortunately for Jeniael, Arcturus's Enlightennt lasted for more than three hours, until the effects of the Enlightennt started to weaken, and the clarity and spirit returned to Arcturus's eyes.
After several monts, Arcturus felt that the Enlightennt had ended, and Arcturus subconsciously felt that he had obtained a lot from the Enlightennt that he had encountered during the teaching.
His master was right.
So of the greatest things that one encountered in life ca at really unexpected tis and places.
[Host has comprehended the Esse of the Sword.]
[Host has embarked on the Way of the Sword.]
[Skill Basic Swordsmanship Level 10 Master - 100% has progressed to the Grandmaster Realm (Transformation Progress - 1%).]
[Once the Transformation Progress on Basic Swordsmanship reaches 100%, the Host will enter the Grandmaster Realm in the Basic Swordsmanship.]
After the Enlightennt had ended, Arcturus skimd through the reports from the system.
In fact, he didn't really expect that he would encounter the Enlightennt at this point in ti, right now, but it seed that he indeed obtained a lot from this entire endeavor.
He imdiately opened the status screen in an instant, because he felt that this ti, he encountered a really trendous amount of luck. He wanted to observe the changes imdiately due to the notifications from the system.

He could see that his Skills were rather progressing on the side of their proficiency, but the most important thing was right now was the Basic Swordsmanship that was changed from the Level 10 Mastery - 100% to the Grandmaster Realm (Transformation Progress - 1%).
According to the system's explanation, once he completed the transformation process, he would officially step into the realm of the Grandmasters. Technically speaking, if he got Grandmaster Realm in Basic Swordsmanship, it was only a matter of ti until he achieved the Grandmaster Realm in so other Sword Style.
This was another reason why many strived to achieve the Grandmaster Realm in the Basic Weapon Arts.
Once soone reached this degree of mastery in the Basic Weapon Artrs, then it was almost guaranteed that with enough ti, they would reach the Grandmaster Realm in more advanced weapon styles.
He was delighted by this because this was probably the most significant power-up that he had ever experienced since his transmigration.
When he cald down, he looked around the dojo and noticed that Jenaiel was already nowhere to be seen, though when he looked at the clock, he noticed that it was already pretty late and that the dinner would probably be soon enough served.
He then went back to the main manor as he went to take a shower before dinner.
***
Main Manor, Dining Room
When it was evening, it was finally ti for the dinner, as both Arcturus and Jeniael were both hungry, and there was a feast prepared for them, from the corpse of the Twin-Horned Boar that they had hunted down previously.
There was an enormous amount of food prepared for them in a variety of cooking styles, and there were more than thirty dishes prepared for them, while almost twenty were prepared from the Twin-Horned Boar that the two of them hunted.
The feast was luxurious and big, which was only needed for them, as both of them needed a lot of calories to sustain their needs. The taste was very good, considering the fact that the food was repeated by the androids, but alas, he didn't have ti to obtain a good chef...
Not to ntion, there were almost no top-notch chefs on the Ziras IV.
What would they be doing on the distant industrial colony planet like the Ziras IV in the first place?
The entire dinner went in a more calm and silent manner as neither of them was in the mood for any talks, and both of them were famished from training and fighting for the entire day, as the physical exercises that they were doing were pretty exhausting.
For so reason, Jeniael was observing him attentively for the entire ti of the dinner, but he dismissed it as he was too lazy to actually care about what she wanted or didn't want to say.
Not his problem.
After finishing the dinner, both of them went their way, as Arcturus once again went to the drawing room, sat on the sofa in front of the fireplace, and started reading a book. This was his common practice that he was repeating on the every single evening.
Together with a cup of hot chocolate that was actually worth several cups due to its size, he really liked the hot chocolate. It was one of his favorite drinks in cold environnts, as the androids also prepared his favorite snack for him, a cheesecake.
"Jeniael, be please silent... I am focusing on the book, if you will."
Arcturus said when he heard sothing move behind him, and he could hear that Jeniael had arrived and was going to annoy him once more. This was already becoming a matter of every day when at, every evening, she was trying to disrupt his reading ti.
Just for her entertainnt.
Sensing her hands on his head, he looked around in annoyance as he felt that he had almost experienced a small heart attack.
When he turned around, he saw there Jeniael standing almost naked, sans white stockings, panties, and bra. She had a toned stomach as her muscles were visible, giving her the appearance of the amazing warrior from the Greek myths.
The most notable feature was probably the runic tattoo that she had across her entire body, and he even noticed that she had her nipples pierced.
It seed that soone was a pretty rebellious kid.
