"So that's how it is!" He Lin sighed after hearing it, then thought of something and laughed.
"Teacher Wang Li told me when I first entered school that I should practice hard to exchange for a family inheritance?"
Li Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"This is actually the wish of most people. It's also a custom that has been formed over thousands of years. That's why it's difficult for the aristocratic families to ban it. My master is the most determined member of the common people faction, so you and I have no choice. We can only be common people factions, do you understand?"
"I see. Isn't that what I always do?"
"Yes, that's true. Well, I've been talking for a long time. I'll go and clean up and then go back. You can practice with peace of mind. After this incident, no one in Bishui City should bother you anymore. Your merit points and other things will naturally be of use to you."
After saying that, Li Yu flew away on his flying sword.
"Interesting, so that's how it is."
Herlin muttered to himself
"The struggle between the two factions is the main trend at this moment. Are the demon cultivators just a minor sideline?"
…
Li Yan appeared and asked
"That is, Miss?"
"Yeah." He Lin was interrupted and replied in a cold tone.
"Is the young lady already a swordsman?"
"Do your own thing and don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked."
"Yes." Li Yan's tone was full of excitement.
…
The Bishui City returned to peace again, and He Lin returned to seclusion and practice.
Tongfu Inn became the most unique inn in the civilian area. No one dared to cause trouble here. Even two people with a life-and-death feud would not dare to fight when they came to Tongfu Inn, and would only dare to fight after they left.
Li Yan smiled proudly behind the counter.
…
After eight days of seclusion, He Lin was promoted to the highest level swordsman.
"So this is what a max-level swordsman is. When the artistic conception mist is full, it will transform and condense into a liquid state. The sea is originally a liquid state, so this corresponds perfectly to the sea's form."
As the artistic conception mist continued to pour in, the concentration of the artistic conception mist continued to increase, the pressure on the upper dantian continued to increase, the sword intent began to be continuously compressed, and its size began to shrink, but correspondingly, the sword intent became more condensed, and the speed of absorbing and transforming the source energy became faster.
The soul is miraculously unaffected, as if it is in another dimension.
"At this rate, in three months at most, the artistic conception mist will condense into a liquid state. Then I can prepare to advance to the level of Sword Master."
…
The next three months were uneventful. He Lin reached the Great Perfection of Sword Master, just one step away from breaking through and becoming a Sword Master.
When he was originally a swordsman, he saw that Li Yu only took five or six years to be promoted to a swordsman, and he thought he might not be able to do it. Unexpectedly, the golden finger suddenly became powerful, and the training efficiency was particularly good, even perfect. It only took about a year for him to be promoted from a swordsman to a swordsman.
This speed is really...even thinking about it makes me feel scared.
She's actually even faster than her sister, who was born with a sword spirit and was a true disciple. If word gets out, I wonder if it will cause a sensation?
However, it seems that their cultivation talent does not focus on the speed of cultivation, but on the height of the cultivation level. Therefore, they were given corresponding status in advance.
It is very simple to become a swordsman. All you need to do is compress the sword intent to the extreme, turn it into a sword intent seed, and plant it in your soul.
Although the soul is also in the space of the upper dantian, the sword intent and the soul seem to be in different dimensions and have no intersection.
"So the sword training system uses compression to elevate the sword's will?"
Reach the same dimension as the soul, and then merge with the soul. The sword training system is ultimately about training the soul.
This is more similar to the wizard training system. The only difference is that wizards cultivate mental power when they are apprentices, soul power when they are one to three stars, and consciousness power when they reach a certain stage above four stars.
The sword-training system, however, first cultivates the body, which is the sword body realm; then cultivates the qi, which is the sword qi realm; and finally cultivates the spirit. This includes the artistic conception, sword intent, soul, etc., all of which fall under the category of "spirit".
The sword training system has an additional process of "training qi". Unlike the wizard training system, which directly trains the body and spirit, it starts with the dual cultivation of "body" and "spirit".
This also made it more difficult to enter the wizard training system. Before he traveled through time, the database statistics showed that on average, only one in a thousand people successfully awakened and became a wizard apprentice.
The success rate of the sword cultivation system, however, is much higher. Given sufficient resources, anyone can advance to the level of Sword Apprentice, one-third to Swordsman, and one-tenth to Sword Master. However, the success rate for Sword Masters is much lower, at only one percent. On average, only one out of every one hundred Sword Masters can reach the level of Sword Master.
The above data assumes sufficient resources. The reason there are so few Sword Masters is because age limits are enforced when advancing to Swordsman. Even with sufficient training resources, one cannot create a Sword Master.
That's why sword masters are so rare. Furthermore, the Sword Sect doesn't encourage them to remain in the secular world. A wealthy family can only leave one sword master without potential to guard the family, while the rest remain within the Sword Sect.
Of course, in reality, cultivation resources are not sufficient, so this probability will be greatly reduced! However, this is also the reason why there are so many noble families and so few wealthy families.
There are also many powerful families with ancient heritage who clearly have the inheritance of a swordsman-level family, but do not have a swordsman, and thus are downgraded from a powerful family to an aristocratic family. For example, the Qian family of Bacheng, from which Qian Yu came, and the Hong family of Hongcheng, from which Hong Qi came.
The transition from swordsman to sword master is a hurdle that has stumped countless talented swordsmen. It primarily involves the soul. Swordsmen who can't observe soul space are left scratching their heads at this point, relying only on talent and luck.
It's like trying to hit the bull's eye with a dart in the dark. If you can see, you might be able to do it with practice, but without seeing, the difficulty level rises significantly.
At this time, even if one has the inheritance, it is not certain that one can be promoted to Sword Master. This is the reason.
But for Fang Helin, this step is the simplest one.
The visibility and controllability of soul space was his strength when he was first reborn into the Origin World. This talent, combined with the consciousness chip, allowed Herlin to quickly create the extraordinary profession of wizard and quickly advance.
What's more, I am now many times stronger than I was then, and my consciousness chip has been upgraded and updated for several generations.
Therefore, it is not a difficult thing to plant the seed of sword intent into the soul.
Moreover, it was the soul, not the consciousness, which made Herlin less concerned. He traveled through time with his consciousness, and when he left, it was also his consciousness that left. Therefore, he did not care about the soul and body of this world, as he could not take them with him anyway.
This makes it more free and easy, and is more in line with the essence of kendo practice.
