Chapter 545: From One to the Extreme
Feng's sword seems simple and unpretentious, but it is full of value.
Until now, due to the limitation of soul cards, Feng has not been able to fully exert his full strength in battle.
He has never used sword intent at all.
Currently, Yu Cang has not yet made a soul card that can embody Feng's sword intent.
Theoretically, Feng could definitely use this ability, which was once understood and applied forever, directly in the real world, but - just like now, it would definitely lead to the malicious targeting and expulsion of the world.
Once Feng is hit by the world's malice, it will probably be difficult for him to return to the Blue Star world again.
The malice of the world is everywhere under the star realm, but it is somewhat different in each world.
The Star Realm has its own worldly malice, while in each world, it is related to various factors such as the Star God of each world. Although there are some differences, they are all similar and the same thing.
However, if you are struck by the malicious power of the world on Blue Star, you can still go to another world, but if you are struck in the star realm... then you will probably have to wander in the chaos forever.
Feng now has absolute trust in Yu Cang. He knows that Yu Cang will not let the world's malice fall on him.
Turning around, Feng nodded to Yu Cang, and then he took the initiative to enter the death cooling state and returned to chaos.
Tai Hina: “…”
She slowly lowered her hand and moved the tip of Jie Emei's sword away from her throat.
She stretched out her hand towards Gu Jieshuang. Blood was still flowing from the wound, and she did not use her ability to stop the bleeding.
"Draw out your sword."
"mine……"
Gu Jieshuang stretched out her hand, paused subconsciously, and then firmly grasped the hilt of Jie Emei's sword.
The touch of blood seeped into her palms... This was the blood of a god.
Taking a deep breath, Gu Jieshuang slowly drew out the crystal clear sword.
"--sword."
Buzz!
Gu Jieshuang's hair moved without wind. She lowered her head and brushed the sword of Jie Emei with her hand to wipe away the blood. It seemed that something was about to sprout in her body.
Tai Chu withdrew his hand and looked at Gu Jie Shuang with anticipation in his eyes.
The trouble she had just caused was made up for by Feng, and in a very clever way.
Taichu's sword intent was too powerful and absolute. That kind of sword intent that calculated all possibilities would have a devastating impact on someone like Gu Jieshuang, whose swordsmanship had not reached the pinnacle.
Even other mythical sword intents are not as exaggerated as Tai Yan.
All chances of victory were destroyed. Even the most determined warrior would find it difficult to remain unshakable after facing such a force.
At this time, Feng appeared just in time. He demonstrated the way to victory and made Tai Hina, the seemingly invincible god, bleed.
Once a god bleeds, he is no longer a god.
Gu Jieshuang's previous eighteen attacks were indeed very strong as she became stronger with each defeat, but this also meant that she had reached an extreme, and this state could easily develop into a dead end.
Tai Chu brought Gu Jie Shuang into this state, and Feng broke it directly with one sword strike.
In fact, as long as there is a swordsman of the same level present, he can do something similar, and Gu Jieshuang will not be completely affected by Tai Chu's sword intent, but Feng's "killing intent" is particularly suitable.
The way of killing is to kill and injure. It doesn't matter whether your sword strikes are perfect or not, as long as the goal is achieved.
Feng's murderous intent was naturally not so shallow, but in this simple fight, it was enough.
Gu Jieshuang's problem is that he pursues perfection and limits too much, but there are not so many perfect sword moves... or rather, they are not so easy to come up with.
With Gu Jieshuang's level of swordsmanship, even if he swung a "perfect" sword, it would actually make it more predictable.
When facing Taiyan Sword Intent, perfection is a weakness. Only by mastering "imperfection" can one be qualified to fight it.
Feng can do this easily.
So... now, Gu Jieshuang has just experienced a crisis of shattered sword heart, which is equivalent to breaking down and then rebuilding. Is it possible for him to take this opportunity to directly comprehend the sword intent in his heart?
Tai Hyun was so excited that she didn't care about the wound on her palm.
Buzz!
Gu Jieshuang's heart gradually began to ring with the sound of swords, and it seemed as if something was breaking out of his body...
However, seeing this, Tai Hina sighed and shook her head.
Still doesn't work.
Gu Jieshuang's... accumulation is still a bit weak.
Although he has understood the meaning of his sword, he still cannot use it.
Perhaps, the time is not right yet.
…
Yu Cang, who was watching this scene, said in his heart:
"Feng, what happened just now?"
"It's too early for Gu Jieshuang to understand Taichu's sword intent." Feng explained, "Too much is as bad as too little."
Yu Cang seemed to understand something: "So this is why you didn't teach Gu Jieshuang before?"
"That's right. Contacting an insurmountable teacher too early will only shape Gu Jieshuang's swordsmanship and prevent him from developing his own skills."
"I think you've said this before."
"...Is that so." Feng's voice was a little confused.
"Of course, not a single word is wrong."
This is what Feng said when he first met Ning Xingyi.
Now it seems that this is indeed the case.
Chaos is a special place, so it's normal that Feng can't remember such a small thing.
"...But it's okay now. Gu Jieshuang already has his own sword intent, and his sword art is almost complete, so some contact is not a problem."
"I see, that's good." Yu Cang felt a little relieved. "Then... do you want to spar with Tai Chu?"
Feng has always been looking forward to a battle between equals, but the previous ones... seem very unsatisfying now.
"No need." Feng said, "Taichin doesn't want to fight with me."
"oh?"
"Kendo isn't everything to her. There's no point in sparring with someone who has no desire to fight."
"……All right."
…
Feng is right.
Although Tai Chu was surprised by this mysterious swordsman, he only regarded him as a soul card or a comrade-in-arms of Yu Cang. He had no intention of competing with him and was not curious at all.
In fact, Taichu now uses his sword power more to study banned cards.
"call……"
Gu Jie Shuang let out a long breath, and she waved her hand gently. All the bloodstains on Jie'e's eyebrows disappeared without a trace, and the sword became crystal clear again.
"Thank you, senior."
Gu Jieshuang clasped his fists.
Tai Chu: "...No need to thank me, thank Di Chang'an and that swordsman instead."
In fact, she was asked by Di Chang'an to give Gu Jieshuang guidance, and it was Feng who came to cover for her when things almost went wrong. She was really embarrassed to take credit for it.
Gu Jieshuang said solemnly, "I have benefited a lot from fighting with you, senior. I must express my gratitude."
If she still can't understand the situation now, she is very slow.
Just now when he came out of the Starry Sky Vision Area, he was so nervous that all his attention was focused on Tai Chu, and he didn't even notice Di Changan who was standing next to him.
He was so focused on the battle that he didn't notice it. Now, if Fengdu didn't notice him walking past, it would be too outrageous.
Add to that the two identities of a mythical swordsman and a card banner...it's obvious who it is.
"...Then I'll take it."
Taichu agreed for the time being.
"Take this card first."
Tai Chu took out a soul card and handed it to Gu Jie Shuang.
After the battle just now, Tai Chu has recognized Gu Jieshuang and believes that she is qualified to learn his sword skills.
So, Taichung is also very generous.
…
Soul Card Name: Sword Intent·Taiyan
Category: Spell Card
quality:??
Attributes: Empty
ability:
[Sword Enlightenment]: The actual quality of this card is related to the user's understanding of Taiyan's sword intent. The highest quality can be Mythical.
[Derive One]: When this card is placed face down on the field, the user can lock onto a target and instantly calculate its future trajectory based on known information. The user can change the locked target at any time.
[Excited at the Extreme]: When this card is activated, it locks onto a target and enters a Death Cooldown. During the Death Cooldown, its movement trajectory is continuously calculated. During this time, you can disconnect the Soul Card instead of paying Soul Energy to use it. The Soul Card's Death Cooldown ends when the target dies or leaves range, or when the user's Mental Stress reaches a high level.
…
The method of making Sword Soul Cards has existed for a long time, and Tai Chu has naturally mastered it.
Therefore, before coming here, she had already stored a trace of her sword intent into the soul card and made it into a related soul card.
Her sword intent is actually not complicated. It is just calculation and deduction.
It's just that when the calculation is taken to the extreme, it has the ability to make the fake look real, or even make the fake look real.
"This..." Gu Jieshuang turned around and looked in Yu Cang's direction.
Di Chang'an nodded to him, and seeing that Yu Cang didn't say anything, Gu Jieshuang took a deep breath and took the soul card.
"Thank you, Senior!" Gu Jieshuang said seriously, "I will definitely comprehend this Soul Card carefully and will not let your sword intent be humiliated!"
"Don't be too happy too soon." Tai Chu said, "I know you have the means to comprehend the sword intent, but my sword intent is not something you can use just by comprehending it."
Gu Jieshuang was stunned: "Ah? Senior, what do you mean...?"
"What Tai Yan can calculate, you can actually calculate yourself. Tai Yan simply eliminates the time you spend calculating, but the information required for the calculation needs to be discovered by you, and the brainpower consumed must also be provided by you."
"Is that so?"
"And precisely because of this characteristic, Tai Yan will consume a large amount of your brainpower in the moment of battle, which is not something an ordinary person can withstand. Even more so, if you use this sword intent against an overly powerful opponent, the huge amount of possible information will instantly burn your brain and destroy your consciousness - you should be able to realize the consequences yourself."
"Huh? Doesn't that mean..." Gu Jieshuang blinked, "If I'm too weak and can't sense any information from the enemy, then there's no danger in using this sword intent?"
Tai Hina: “…That’s what I said.”
But at this time, let's not use this sword intent.
If the enemy senses the characteristics of the sword intent, then they will deliberately degrade themselves and allow a large amount of their information to be captured by you... but they will still explode you.
"In short, don't use [Excitement] unless absolutely necessary."
[Yan Yu Yi] is fine, it can be canceled at any time, and the calculation range is not that exaggerated, so the danger is not too high. But [Xing Yu Ji]... after it is turned on, the calculation of the target will continue, and may even exceed the user's own limit. If you are not careful, something really bad may happen.
This ability is extremely powerful when used on the same level or slightly higher, but it will become a burden if it is too high.
"Next, I will follow you for a while. You can ask me any questions you have. How much you can comprehend before reaching the Longevity Tent depends on you."
Gu Jieshuang nodded quickly: "I will try my best."
"Um, Senior Taichu." Yu Cang stepped forward. "There were many misunderstandings before. I hope Senior will forgive me. If you want to get any answers from me, we can continue."
"No need." Tai Hina's expression remained calm. "Since you're unwilling to write a banned card, I won't force you. I hope that your first real banned card creation is because you have to do it."
She had chosen the path of a card banner because she was framed and forced to do so. Now... naturally she would not force others.
Tai Hina stretched out her hand, the wound on her palm had healed, she put on her hood, and her voice returned to the tone of AI dubbing.
"Let's go... I heard you've figured out how to make banned cards harmless. We can talk about it on the way."
"ah?"
Yu Cang was stunned for a moment, but soon understood - Tai Chu was probably referring to his summoning of the spirit beast.
Well... actually that's still far from banning the card harmlessly, but since Tai Chu said so, Yu Cang could only agree.
He was also looking forward to learning something from Tai Hina.
"Emperor Chang'an." Tai Chu said, "I will take him away. I will remember your favor."
"Don't worry."
"Let's go." Tai Hyun turned around.
"Let's go...?" Yu Cang blinked.
"What else?" Tai Hina said matter-of-factly. "Go to the airport and take a plane to the border—do you expect me to teleport you there?"
…
Yu Cang and his companions greeted Di Chang'an, and then left with Tai Chu.
Last in line.
Wen Renge looked at Tai Chu's back and took a deep breath.
Two myths...
This was the first time in his life that he had seen such a grand scene.
He had thought that as long as the myths took action, there would be a scene of heaven and earth collapsing, but now... if he was not mistaken, from the moment the two myths appeared and talked... they both seemed to tacitly acknowledge that Yu Cang was on equal footing with them?
Moreover, the swordsman summoned by Yu Cang injured the leader of the Undead Village?
What a magical plot!
He couldn't figure out Taichu and Feng's intentions, he only knew that Feng stabbed with his sword, Taichu was bleeding immediately, and was almost killed by the sword!
No, buddy.
When they were in the college league, the gap between them was big, but it was not to this extent.
Did he travel through time, or was Yu Cang reborn?
This is really...
Wen Renge lowered his head and glanced at his palm.
He also has to find an opportunity and find his own chance.
What he could rely on at level five, whether it was natural spirits or skills, was no longer considered strong at level six.
