Chapter 365: The Essence of the Sword! (2nd Update)



"Your sword momentum..." Ye Changfeng's mind echoed with the way Xiang Beifei had just wielded his sword. His swordsmanship had also reached a pinnacle, within the alliance, his sword made him an absolutely strong force among God Refining stage martial artists! But even the most powerful swordsman would reach a bottleneck. If one cannot break through oneself, then their swordsmanship would advance not an inch further! Ye Changfeng was currently at this stage. However, the sword Xiang Beifei had just displayed seemed to directly break through the veil that had bound him for many years, enlightening his entire being! He had never taught Xiang Beifei to use the sword in this way! But what Xiang Beifei had clearly displayed was the momentum of the Heavenly Sword Nine Traces! And it was even stronger than his own sword momentum! Is this what they mean by "the student surpasses the master"? Could it be— He looked at his system interface: [The system has detected that Xiang Beifei has improved the Heavenly Sword Nine Traces, the power condensed from this sword momentum is extremely profound! Evaluating…] [Xiang Beifei's swordsmanship is very peculiar, the potential contained in his sword momentum is too great, temporarily unable to estimate the enhancement it can bring to the host. Preliminary judgment, there is still more room for improvement!] [Xiang Beifei assisted the host in improving and feedback of sword Qi, sword Qi value +300,000] [The sword momentum has been recorded, please focus on comprehension, host!] He actually improved it! Ye Changfeng was utterly shocked! "Mr. Ye, I have finally understood the essence of the sword," Xiang Beifei said. The Ronin Sword in Xiang Beifei's hand swung gently in front of him, the blade trembling slightly as if it split all the dust in the air in two. "What is it?" Ye Changfeng asked urgently. The lad hadn't been seen for several months, yet he had cultivated such a powerful Sword Intent! Could it be that he had been comprehending my swordsmanship during his months of secluded cultivation? Yes! How else to explain the rapid progress of his swordsmanship? Ye Changfeng was quite moved for a moment! This youngster had finally seen the light, remembering my swordsmanship. Silent until magnificent! These past few months, he must have put a lot of thought into secretly studying the Heavenly Sword Nine Traces, how else could he have reached such a realm? But has he really grasped the essence of swordsmanship? If so, then… then I must consult him! Ye Changfeng anticipated eagerly! "The ultimate essence of the sword, is for—" Xiang Beifei held his sword horizontally as starry light burst forth, radiating sharp brilliance from his entire being, resembling a Supreme Swordsman despising the world, slicing through all phenomena with one strike! "Coolness!" Xiang Beifei declared aloud. Ye Changfeng: "..." Coolness... coolness? Ye Changfeng was petrified! He never expected Xiang Beifei to blurt out such words! "No wonder Mr. Ye likes using the sword so much, with its chilling brightness, coolness personified! Every time Mr. Ye displays his swordsmanship, his figure is so cool, it's captivating!" Xiang Beifei praised. Those words…were pleasing to the ear! Ye Changfeng adjusted his glasses slightly and stood up a bit straighter in midair. Every time he drew his sword, his mind was as calm as still water, and his movements were ethereal. Not even his hair fell into disorder. "When a sword is struck, it doesn't matter if the power is strong or not; what's important is that it must be stylish! The wielder of the sword should perform every move with smooth naturalness, their form floating effortlessly," Xiang Beifei said as he once again swung his sword, his entire being seemingly merging with the blade in his hand! "If the technique of the sword strike isn't handsome enough, then the swordsmanship is rendered meaningless!" Xiang Beifei said with gravity. These words were enough to make one spit blood! However, as Ye Changfeng watched Xiang Beifei's swordplay and pondered over his words, it was as if a great door in his mind had been flung open, and sudden clarity dawned before him! He suddenly realized that Xiang Beifei was not wrong! How could one ensure that their sword's momentum is handsome and imposing? Only by reaching the realm where the sword and the person were fully integrated, a seamless natural state! When the sword in hand fully becomes an extension of one's body, the swordsmanship performed will have no obstructions; each move will flow effortlessly, naturally forming intent. Sword Intent, directed by the heart; Sword Qi, following the blade! A single thought, and Sword Qi could shatter the void, claiming the head of an enemy miles away! If one could reach this realm, which swordsman wouldn't be dashing? Therefore, those who learn the sword must lay the groundwork for handsomeness! Hearing Xiang Beifei's words, Ye Changfeng suddenly had a moment of epiphany, even beginning to evolve Xiang Beifei's Sword Qi in his mind! To make the sword stance even cooler, one must solidify the sword in hand and elevate one's Sword Intent to a Supreme, flawless state. Otherwise, if an opponent caught any flaw and disrupted the sword momentum, striking them down to the ground, how could the swordsman maintain their coolness? ... "Alright, I've just realized this bit of momentum in swordsmanship. I haven't figured out how to perform the rest in a cooler way. I'll help you study it some more when there's a chance, haha!" Xiang Beifei spread his hands apologetically towards Ye Changfeng. Ye Changfeng's face twitched: "..." You've only realized this bit of sword momentum? Do you know how hard it is for ordinary swordsmen to advance further along the Sword Dao? Just grasping a bit of Sword Qi is enough to greatly enhance one's strength, yet you're just… just haven't figured it out? Ye Changfeng felt utterly thrown for a loop. "Awoo!" At that moment, the Kylin, tough-skinned and hard-fleshed, quickly climbed out of the crater and glared at Xiang Beifei with fury. Xiang Beifei put away the Ronin Sword, then looked at the Kylin before him and rubbed his knuckles: "To deal with this sort of creature, fists are faster." The Kylin flicked its tail, still smarting from where Xiang Beifei's sword had hit its rear. It would not be a Kylin if it didn't take revenge. It let out a roar towards Xiang Beifei as a vortex wrapped around its body again. But once again, Xiang Beifei took a step forward— Whoosh! Before the Kylin could react, he had already landed behind it, his fist emitting explosive flames as he smashed it directly onto the Kylin's forehead! Bang! The Kylin, once so defiant, now crumpled like a broken sandbag as Xiang Beifei's punch sent it flying into the ground, creating another thunderous crater! The Kylin only felt dizzy, its entire beast form functioning poorly. That punch had given it a concussion. As it tried to scramble up, it suddenly felt its tail caught by someone, and then, uncontrollably, it was lifted into the air! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Clutching the Kylin's whip-like tail, Xiang Beifei swung it around in the air several times, as if wielding a meteor hammer, then smashed it left and right, carving the ground with gullies and leaving the Kylin dizzy and Ye Changfeng's mouth continuously twitching. Boom! After a brutal round of pummeling the Kylin, Xiang Beifei finally stomped its head down into the ground. "Now, I've finally confirmed the extent of my strength," Xiang Beifei stated calmly while standing on the Kylin's head, brushing the dust off his clothes. It turned out that he was at the God Refining middle stage!
