After Sun Muqing finished speaking, Ye Yu stopped and asked, "What is the essence of swordsmanship?"
Ye Yu's question made Sun Muqing laugh angrily and said, "I don't even know how you cultivated to your current state. Didn't the person who helped you open the sword source tell you?"
Ye Yu said awkwardly: "Senior Sun, no one helped me open the sword source. Until now, I have been exploring it myself."
As soon as these words came out, Sun Muqing was stunned. He never expected that no one would help open Ye Yu's sword source. How could this be possible? He was definitely an innate sword cultivator.
After all, the years are there, I have experienced a lot, and I have encountered a lot of strange things, so I did not continue to ask. After all, everyone has secrets, but I am more curious and appreciative of the young man in front of me.
After thinking for a while, he said to Ye Yu: "Since no one told you, I will tell you. Although I am not a sword cultivator, I believe you should understand the principle that one method can be used to master all methods. I have also been exposed to sword cultivators. , I learned from them that sword cultivators do not have as strong bodies as martial cultivators, but their attack power is much higher than that of martial cultivators."
"Martial arts cultivators pay attention to the ability to conquer ten levels with one force. Any martial arts tricks and tricks will pale in comparison to absolute strength. However, the essence of sword cultivators is completely different from that of martial arts cultivators. It may have something to do with the different cultivation methods. "
"Sword cultivators pay attention to the word "quick". They believe that the only martial arts in the world is "quick". As long as you attack quickly enough, you can strike first and strike first. This can make up for the shortcomings of weak defense, and high-speed attacks, with the speed bonus, can , the attack power will also become more powerful, enough to kill people easily without taking action."
"Even if the opponent is not killed, a quick attack can give you enough time to dodge or attack again. This is very similar to the concept of an assassin, but there is an essential difference. The swordsman will no longer choose to escape when he misses, but will move forward bravely. The attack is like the sword in his hand, it will not stop killing until it is destroyed."
"There were martial arts cultivators who wanted to imitate sword cultivators and increase their shooting speed. As you can imagine, they ended up in failure. The differences in the systems lead to differences in the energy produced by the cultivation. The martial arts cultivators' martial arts are full of richness and continuity. With extremely strong defense, it is difficult to increase one’s speed to the ultimate level.”
"On the other hand, the sword power of a sword cultivator is full of destructive power and strong explosive power, but it does not have high continuity. Therefore, the explosive power of the sword power is used to perform high-speed attacks to make up for all shortcomings. Under high-speed attacks, The power of the sword is continuous, and even if there is a break in the attack, it will be difficult for the opponent to capture it."
"But this is only for sword cultivators below the Sword King level. After reaching the King level, they can open up the connection between themselves and the outside world, so that their meridians form a small Zhoutian, and the spiritual energy is endless. This is also the key to the King level being able to control the air. The sword After cultivators reach this level, the continuity of sword power is compensated and becomes more powerful, which is why sword cultivators surpass those of the same level of martial arts cultivators."
Originally, its attack power and speed are much higher than those of martial arts cultivators, and it makes up for some of its weaknesses. It's really scary. Even if there is still the problem of weak defense, you have to beat it first.
Sun Muqing's words gave Ye Yu some direction. When he thought about it, this was indeed the truth. When he paid off to others, he relied on the destructiveness and elemental properties of the sword's power, without thinking about the inner things at all.
It's easier said than done. After repeated attempts, I found that wanting to burst out at high speed actually consumes a lot of sword power, but it's still acceptable.
Seeing the changes in Ye Yu's cultivation, Sun Muqing nodded secretly and said: "This kid's talent is really abnormal. I just talked about it casually, and he can find the trick. Although he is very immature, as long as he gets started and practices hard, he will definitely be able to master it. .”
Ye Yu, who was immersed in practice, didn't realize that Sun Muqing had left. He didn't wake up from practice until the evening. At this time, Sun Muqing had come back, and even prepared a table of food and asked Ye Yu to eat with him. Ye Yu was already ready to go back. Yu stayed and returned to the academy after it was completely dark. After all, after eating, the two of them played chess. Even though there was nothing to teach in chess, Ye Yu still lost more than he won, and even he They all doubted whether the opponent deliberately let the opponent down in those games.
Two months passed quickly like this. Ye Yu went to see Sun Muqing every day without hesitation, practicing, chatting, and playing chess. Although he did not have the title of master and disciple, he had a relationship between master and disciple. Sun Muqing felt uncomfortable being called senior, so he simply asked Ye Yu to call him "senior". He is Mr. Sun, and he calls Ye Yu a bastard, not as a curse, but after getting acquainted with Ye Yu, this kid is really a bastard, he acts like a fool when playing chess, I think he wants to say that, but he can't bear to do it, at least he takes himself as his own. Only relatives do this.
Suddenly one day, Sun Muqing said to Ye Yu seriously: "You have a good grasp of the essence of kendo Kuai. Practice more and don't slack off. This is just the basic essence of kendo. There are many other essences that you need to understand by yourself. This is As a martial artist, I can't help you."
"Although your combat power has increased several times, you are still at the peak level of a swordsman. If you don't break through, you will always be able to defeat cultivators below the Martial King. If you don't have the strength to fight against the Martial King, you'll be lucky enough to save your life. If you can't break through, you still can't. It has something to do with the fact that you don’t have the sword cultivation method. This method can help you quickly get through Xiao Zhoutian. It would be too dangerous to explore on your own."
"I don't recommend you to try it. I don't have any skills in sword cultivation, but I have seen the basic sword skills. I know a thing or two about how the sword drawing technique works. However, this skill is incomplete. There are only eight meridians and acupuncture points. As for the running chart, even if you practice it, it is not enough to achieve a breakthrough. You need to open nine acupoints on your own, which is considered a small success before you can break through. After that, you will advance every time you open nine acupoints."
"It is not until thirty-six acupoints are opened that one can break through and become King of Wu. From King Wu to Emperor Wu, one needs to open seventy-two acupoints to achieve the Great Zhoutian. I can leave the technique to you, but I hope that after you have opened eight acupoints, , don’t forcefully search for the ninth one, try to find the complete exercise operation chart, if there is no other way, join the Swordsmen Guild, there will be what you need." After that, Sun Muqing taught the exercise to Ye Yu.
After obtaining the technique, Ye Yu sat down directly in a circle and made a breakthrough in the first meridian point orifice. As soon as he started to run the technique, the surrounding spiritual energy gathered towards Ye Yu, and his Baihui point formed a cyclone. Sun Muqing was amazed. Although he had come into contact with sword cultivators, and those sword cultivators were extremely powerful, it was impossible for them to practice in front of him. This was the first time he had seen them.
The reason why Sun Muqing was surprised was that although he knew that sword cultivators and martial arts cultivators were completely different, and the locations where spiritual energy was stored were different, the martial artist's lower dantian was also commonly known as the dantian, while the sword cultivator was indeed in the upper dantian, where the sword source was located between the eyebrows.
The first acupuncture point was opened very smoothly. It didn't take long for the technique to be opened successfully. In an instant, a powerful aura came out of Ye Yu's body, the sword source flickered, and the power of the elements approached Ye Yu. At first, Sun Muqing's face did not change. Knowing that after the fire element appeared, the destruction element also appeared, he was a little surprised. It was not over yet. Another elemental power approached. Sun Muqing was solemn. The elements generally appeared from low to high, and the destruction element was already at the highest level. Now, what is the elemental power behind it?
"Could it be?" Sun Muqing was moved.
