Chapter 1582: Not Fighting for Sword Intention
True words are not beautiful, and beautiful words are not true.
The good do not argue, and those who argue are not good.
Those who know do not gamble, and those who gamble do not know.
The wise man does not accumulate. The more he gives to others, the more he has; the more he gives to others, the more he has.
The way of Heaven is to benefit but not to harm.
The way of a sage is to act without contention.
This is the origin of the name of the sword of non-contention, which comes from a passage in the ancient scriptures.
Do things without fighting. People with ability do not need to fight, and things will naturally fall into their hands, because others can't do what he can do and can only give things to him.
The realm of Jiuyang also has some of this meaning, pursuing one's own cultivation without being moved by external things.
After seeing Jiuyang's realm, Zhou Wen gained a better understanding of the sword's meaning of non-contention.
"Three thousand sword intents are simply too many. If you want to comprehend the true meaning of all of them, let alone a mortal like me who only has a hundred years of lifespan, even if you can live for a thousand years and comprehend one kind a year, that's only one-third. Besides, it's impossible to comprehend the true meaning of one sword intent a year. In the future, just comprehend a few of them casually. You can't pursue perfection like Jiuyang. The saying in the ancient scriptures is absolutely right, 'Those who know do not gamble, and those who gamble do not know.' Although my three thousand sword intents are not weak, Jiuyang's realm is much higher than any of the three thousand sword intents." Zhou Wen thought to himself.
Because the essence of the realms was too similar, Zhou Wen borrowed and verified it, and soon made a great breakthrough in the sword intent of non-contention.
"Let's try and see how my sword intent is." Zhou Wen's sword moves changed, and he actually used a state of mind similar to Jiuyang's. It was the non-contentious sword intent that he had just broken through.
Jiuyang, Carlos, and Shenluo's eyes focused at the same time. They all realized that the changes in Zhou Wen's sword moves were surprisingly similar to Jiuyang's boxing techniques.
"You actually want to imitate Jiuyang's technique and artistic conception. That's too idealistic. Such a realm cannot be achieved in a short period of time. Especially with Jiuyang's pursuit of details, it is not possible to just learn the appearance. You will end up trying to draw a tiger but end up drawing a dog." Shenluo snorted inwardly.
Carlos was also a little confused. Zhou Wen's actions seemed a little too rash.
It's true that you, Zhou Wen, are a genius, but Jiuyang is also a genius, and a top-level genius at that. It's a bit arrogant of you to want to use the unique skills that Jiuyang has practiced for so many years in just a short while.
But the ensuing fight between the two left both Carlos and Shenluo dumbfounded.
The knife in Zhou Wen's hand still had no sheath, but he had already switched from defense to offense. During the battle with Jiuyang, the two's techniques and realms were almost more than 90% similar.
The key point is that Zhou Wen actually managed to tie with Jiuyang and was not at a disadvantage at all.
"Could it be that... there really is such a genius in this world..." Carlos widened his eyes and muttered to himself in disbelief.
"What do you mean?" You Kai on the side did not understand. He only saw that Zhou Wen was no longer defending blindly, but his offensive was not very strong and was very ordinary.
Carlos smiled bitterly and said, "Yukai, do you think I'm a genius?"
"Of course you count. If you are not considered a genius, there will be no geniuses in this Federation. Although you do not have the royal body inherited from your family, your talent, your aptitude and your comprehension far exceed those guys with royal bodies. I still remember that it took John two months to practice the energy skills. You only practiced for a while and you are much stronger than him." You Kai said.
"Then what do you think, if it takes me 10 to 20 years to practice something, someone else can learn it in just a few tens of minutes? Do you think it's possible?" Carlos asked again.
"Of course this is impossible. Anyone who can do this, no, I shouldn't say people, it's simply impossible for humans to do it. If they can do it, they are not human at all." You Kai said.
"But that guy just now, he did it." Carlos smiled bitterly again.
"Who? What did you do?" You Kai was stunned and asked in confusion.
"Jiuyang's talent is not worse than mine. I believe that his cultivation level is also obtained through hard work. If it were me, it would take the same amount of time. However, in just a short battle of twenty to thirty minutes, Zhou Wen has learned his level and can fight on par with Jiuyang." Carlos said.
"This is impossible? Could it be that Zhou Wen already knew those things and is only using them now?" You Kai guessed with an expression of disbelief on his face.
Carlos sighed and said, "I hope so, but it's obvious that his realm is still improving. He must be still in the process of understanding. I always thought I was a genius, on par with anyone in the Federation. Even An Tianzuo, I only regarded him as a goal to learn and catch up. But after meeting Zhou Wen today, I suddenly felt discouraged, even a little desperate."
"Don't think like that. There must be a reason. There can't be such a genius among humans. Something must have gone wrong. We can find the problem. Don't give up..." You Kai was suddenly a little panicked. Carlos is the most promising one in the Capet family. If he gives up, it will undoubtedly be a fatal blow to the Capet family.
Carlos said, "Don't worry, I'm not some greenhouse flower that hasn't experienced any ups and downs. Even if Zhou Wen is truly such a genius, I won't give up my goal. I just feel a little emotional."
"That's good." You Kai heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Carlos looked normal, but he was still confused.
If it is really as Carlos said, then Zhou Wen is too scary.
Shen Luo was far more surprised than Carlos and You Kai. They didn't know much about Jiuyang, so they were just guessing.
However, Shen Luo knew a lot about Jiuyang. Among so many saints in the Temple of the Sun, only Jiuyang was recognized by the guardian of the Sun God and obtained the holy object of the Temple of the Sun.
Although everyone is a saint in name, Jiuyang, who holds the sacred object of the Sun Temple, is actually the Son of God of the Sun Temple.
Shen Luo himself was in a similar situation. He knew very well how much it would cost to become the Son of God who held the holy objects.
Jiuyang has been practicing hard since he was a child. His achievements are the result of accumulation over the years. Even Shenluo has to admit that in terms of martial arts realm, he is not Jiuyang's opponent.
Jiuyang's level is even difficult to imitate and learn, because it is not just about hard work, but also requires extraordinary talent.
Such a talented and extremely hardworking person had his best ability imitated by others in a short battle, and the combat power he displayed was not inferior to Jiuyang. This was simply unbelievable for Shen Luo.
"This Zhou Wen seems to be much more terrifying than expected. No wonder Lord Saint sent me to assist Jiuyang. It turns out that Lord Saint has foresight. Such a guy must not be allowed to grow up, otherwise he will become a great enemy of my holy land." There was a murderous look in Shen Luo's eyes, and he had already decided to kill.
