At this moment, Ye Fan examined the attributes of the sword:

"Now it's a god-tier sword!" Ye Fan exclaimed in awe. "But why is the new sword name my own name?"
Seeing this, Ye Fan was momentarily stunned.
"And what's up with these evolution points? There's still a field for them, but no indication of how many are needed for the next upgrade."
He continued muttering to himself, curiosity filling his eyes.
"Never mind, I'll figure it out later. Let's try the transformation first!"
At that moment, Ye Fan's thought triggered the system's response:
[Insufficient energy points for transformation]
"Are you kidding me?!" Ye Fan cursed in frustration.
[Transformation requires 100,000 energy points to maintain for one day]
The system prompted once again.
"100,000 energy points just to maintain it for a day?"
"Damn! It's not easy to gather 100,000 energy points!"
"When will I be able to stay in human form permanently!?"
Ye Fan grumbled again.
[At nine-star divine grade, transformation will no longer require energy]
The system replied.
"So, I need to become a nine-star divine weapon?"
"But how do I advance to nine-star? The system doesn't show how many evolution points are required for the next upgrade!"
"Is there some new feature I'm missing?"
Ye Fan pondered aloud.
Before long, his system panel transformed once again.
A series of skill icons appeared before him, though most were grayed out, as if waiting to be unlocked.
"Does this mean I need to learn these skills and reach a certain level before I can evolve again?"
"Damn, this is starting to feel like an MMORPG—one system after another!"
Ye Fan cursed under his breath.
Initially, when he saw the final evolution prompt, he thought he wouldn't have to worry about gaining evolution points anymore.
It turned out that only his sword body had undergone the final evolution.
In other words, the sword's current state and name were now fixed, but that was all.
Ye Fan was left speechless.
Learning new skills was essentially just another form of leveling up.
"But without enough evolution points, I can't even start learning these skills."
"Plus, it looks like the skills branch into different paths—unlocking one leads to a higher-tier skill, like advancing through different classes."
"Whatever, I need to gather more evolution points and figure this out."
Ye Fan sighed.
"Zhang Yuanji!!!"
"Come out here!!!"
Suddenly, a thunderous voice echoed from the distance.
Hearing this, Zhang Yuanji's eyes narrowed in response.
He quickly flew into the air, looking toward the source of the voice, and saw a large group of martial warriors rapidly approaching from afar!
It was his master and others from the sect!
Zhang Yuanji's expression changed drastically upon seeing this.
Could it be that they discovered what happened earlier!?
It had to be!
In that instant, Zhang Yuanji swiftly retrieved Boundless—no, it was now named Ye Fan—and held it firmly.
"They want to take my divine sword!?"
"I'd rather destroy it than let them have it!"
Zhang Yuanji gripped Ye Fan tightly, his voice cold.
Even his master had arrived, clearly aware that the sword Zhang Yuanji had previously shown was a fake.
It wasn't the true divine weapon!
But now, after experiencing Boundless's immense power and witnessing its tribulation firsthand, there was no way Zhang Yuanji would give it up!
Anyone who tried to take his sword would die.
Even his master would not be spared!
"Destroy me?"
At that moment, Ye Fan's voice resonated from within the sword.
The sword… spoke?!
Zhang Yuanji's eyes widened in shock upon hearing it.
White light radiated from the sword's blade, and in the next moment, a humanoid figure began to form.
Apart from the transformation mode, Ye Fan had just discovered another feature: Sword Spirit Mode!!!
