"field?"
Shangwu nodded.
"My sword intent has become nearly perfect, surpassing my teacher. Even Teacher Lu could not give me any advice after that."
"So I have always been searching for the path beyond sword intent."
Shangwu picked up a standard longsword and brandished it a few times, sending out several sword energies like ghosts.
He then pulled out a chopstick, which also released sword intent. After that, he tried various things and was able to release sword intent directly with each one.
In the end, he could still exude sword intent even when he only used his fingers as swords.
Everyone was dumbfounded by this flashy scene.
After all, Shangwu switched to other weapons, and the attack power of his sword intent was significantly weakened.
"You've all noticed, haven't you? The sword intent's power is greatly reduced after losing the longsword itself." Shang Wu sighed, "That's why I said my sword intent is close to perfect; it's just missing this one thing."
“So…” Han Jisheng raised his hand: “What does this have to do with the field?”
"Good question."
Shang Wu let out a long breath: "I have tried to release sword intent without relying on any external object, not even myself."
"Although I failed, I also succeeded once."
Shang Wu said slowly, "You should remember that time too, it was about compensating for the training ground."
Qi Jie's eyes were filled with resentment: "So, it wasn't damaged during our daily training that we did, it was you?"
Shang Wu said awkwardly, "I didn't expect it to be so powerful, it flattened the training ground."
Ye Bufan's face darkened: "Is this why you want our team to pay compensation together?"
"Ahem." Shangwu quickly changed the subject.
"That time I came into contact with the existence of a domain. At that time, I felt like I was the king of the domain, and I could release countless sword energies in an instant!"
"At that time, it was just a thought, but the power of each sword aura was several times more terrifying than what I am releasing now, which destroyed the entire training ground."
After a pause, Shangwu sighed, "Unfortunately, it only happened that one time. I've tried to enter that state many times since then, but I've failed every time."
Ye Qianqing clapped her hands and applauded for him.
Others applauded him in agreement.
It can only be said that he is the man who allowed Kaitian Academy to send his family members directly through the back door.
Not only has his sword intent surpassed that of the academy's teachers, but he has also perfected the theoretical knowledge of the path to becoming a King and a Venerable.
He had only briefly experienced the realms that only Venerables could access during his martial arts era.
A swordsmanship genius, terrifyingly so!
"Good luck, good luck."
Shang Wu was a little shy in the face of the crowd's generous applause.
"As you all know, I was weak for a long time after I experienced it."
Han Jisheng suddenly realized: "Oh! So that's how it is!"
Qi Jie frowned: "What about the premium goji berries I brought you? Were they useful?"
Ye Qianqing raised an eyebrow: "No wonder Ling'er was like that during that time..."
"Cough cough cough!"
Shangwu quickly coughed, indicating that they couldn't continue broadcasting if they kept talking.
"Okay, anyway, I hope you don't push yourselves to be so nervous."
Shangwu's gaze fell on Ye Bufan: "Old Fan, your ability to condense energy and complete the path to becoming a Grandmaster is basically confirmed. However, you still need to comprehend the essence of the King realm yourselves. Pushing you too hard can easily cause problems."
Ye Qianqing pondered, "I have a question. Body tempering, strengthening the five internal organs, and even the domain you mentioned can all lead to a surge in combat power, but as far as I know, the realm of intent doesn't seem to have much of an impact on combat power."
“I also have some doubts about this.” Shangwu nodded: “So I’m not sure if artistic conception can complete the process of becoming a king.”
He spread his hands helplessly: "After all, as far as I know, there are indeed kings who have comprehended the essence of the art."
“I consulted them, but they couldn’t give me a clear answer either. It seems that the artistic conception is dispensable for the title of king.”
"but…"
Shangwu paused for a moment: "I've noticed that all of these titles of kings have one problem."
"What?"
"Without exception, they all grasped the essence only after being granted the title of king; they had not grasped it before that."
"Perhaps this is the key."
As he spoke, he looked at everyone except Ye Bufan.
This principle is similar to the exercise of the five internal organs.
After they broke through to the Grandmaster level, their efforts to train their internal organs yielded significantly less improvement than Ye Bufan's.
"Possibly." Ye Qianqing nodded in agreement.
"Alright, that concludes the lesson. get out of class dismissed!"
Shangwu clapped his hands, also cosplaying as a teacher.
"Then let's start the dinner party."
Ye Bufan stood up and joked, "Shangwu, you'll be on a mission for a while, and our Disaster Relief Team will be short-handed. We'll have to have a farewell dinner."
"No thanks, I don't want to plant a flag." Shangwu said with a dark face.
"Let's go, we'll just have a get-together and that'll be over." Qi Jie put his arm around his shoulder and pulled him away.
"I wasn't full yet." Han Jisheng followed.
The shadows of the group playing around stretched long in the afterglow of the setting sun, gradually fading into the distance.
...
"An interesting theory."
Ye Qianqing recorded Shangwu's mini-lesson and sent it to Dean Mo, who, after much deliberation, also forwarded it to his superiors.
Finally, it landed in front of Cao Guangxing.
He acknowledged Shangwu's courage to question the cultivation system created by his predecessors.
But whether it's right or wrong, Cao Guangxing couldn't do anything about it.
After all, he devoted all his energy to the work of the city lord for the sake of Hualong City, and had little time for cultivation.
It was definitely not because he lacked talent that he decided to become the city lord.
Now he can only be considered an ordinary person with a slightly stronger physique.
"The artistic conception..."
Shangwu hadn't had much contact with those who had been granted titles of nobility, so Cao Guangxing used his access privileges to take a look, then raised an eyebrow.
"There was one who grasped the essence of the art before he was even made a king."
This person is a well-known figure among those who have been granted titles of nobility, and is also known as the number one person below the Venerable One.
"Artistic conception, could this be the reason for his extraordinary combat power?"
Cao Guangxing seemed to be thinking about something. This person was not in Kaitian City, nor in Hualong City, but in another Zhenjiang City!
The other party also has a heavy burden, so let's wait until things in District 11 are settled before asking them.
"Martial spirit, oh martial spirit."
This is a rare talent, but at the same time…
The scene shifts to Cao Guangxing, where several documents are hanging.
Xu Ruiling, Yu Rui, and... Qin Sheng.
Watching the video of the martial arts exam, the image clearly started to shake as the cult members appeared, but it still captured the collapse of the stands not far away, where Xu Ruiling was at the time.
Cao Guangxing skillfully paused the video; a white shadow was stuck on the screen, very blurry.
"Aren't you overthinking it?"
He looked at the white shadow and muttered to himself.
After all, according to Luo Hongxia, the rat he saw in the alien beast circle was completely black, not the white shadow in the picture.
"Let's test the waters a little, so we don't let them slip away."
...
Little mouse: I remember when I was little, I was so white (T_T)
