Chapter 281: Teaching (3)

He paused.” The next step is to anticipate the enemy’s attack! Before the enemy’s attack arrived, you already knew the position of the attack and the actual situation. The deeper the realm of anticipating the enemy’s attack, the greater the advantage you had when fighting with the enemy.”

“Anticipate the enemy’s preemptive attack…”

Chen Daoxuan secretly guessed the meaning of the other party’s words.

It was just that the phrase ‘anticipating the enemy and taking the initiative’ was too general. Chen Daoxuan could not understand the true meaning of this sentence at all.

However, after the white-robed Daoist finished his instructions, he did not continue to explain. He just pulled Chen Daoxuan to fight again and again.

Fortunately, both of them were cultivators. Even if they could last for months or even a year in a battle of this level, it would not matter.

Time slowly passed.

Two days later.

Accompanied by repeated failures, Chen Daoxuan finally found something different.

In his sea of consciousness.

He could clearly” see ” the Taoist in white’s every sword that was about to attack him. After ” seeing” this scene, the pressure on Chen Daoxuan’s body suddenly disappeared.

He thought of the arrival of the gods and the first opportunity of the enemy.

With the two combined, Chen Daoxuan’s time under the white-robed Daoist’s hands skyrocketed.

One hundred swords, three hundred swords, five hundred swords…

In the end, as Chen Daoxuan’s realm of predicting the enemy’s first move became more profound, he found that he could actually fight back and forth with the white-robed Taoist in front of him, not losing to the other party at all.

In the training hall.

The two sword lights collided wildly, cutting through the air. Even the space around the two of them rippled.

The two of them fought from the sky to the ground, and then from the ground to the sky.

The two of them would sometimes separate and attack with flying swords from afar. Sometimes, they would fly together and fight in close combat.

Any of the stones on the training hall would be left with a bottomless dent if they were hit by any of the sword qi.

Fortunately, this was the space of consciousness. No matter how much the two fought, the damage caused would be restored after the battle. Otherwise, after fighting for so long, the dojo would have long become a pile of ruins.

As Chen Daoxuan fought, his mood became better and better, while the white-robed Daoist’s expression became more and more solemn.

As Chen Daoxuan became more and more proficient in his sword sense and his ability to predict the enemy’s attack, he found that as long as the enemy’s attack did not exceed his endurance limit, he could block it.

The white-robed Daoist’s cultivation, realm, and magic tool were all exactly the same as his. Theoretically speaking, the other party could not take him down at all.

“Boom!”

The two of them collided again, then flew apart and faced each other in the air.

Looking at Chen Daoxuan in front of him, the white-robed Daoist finally revealed a trace of satisfaction in his eyes.”You passed.”

Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan’s face lit up.

In these three days, who knew how many times he had been abused by this white-robed Daoist.

Every time, he would defeat him with a few strikes, no more than ten strikes at most.

The two of them had the same cultivation and realm, and their magic tools were exactly the same. Logically speaking, such a situation should not have happened, but Chen Daoxuan could not defeat the other party.

Especially close combat!

The white-robed Daoist’s close combat strength was simply terrifying, completely subverting Chen Daoxuan’s worldview.

Although he knew that with the enhancement of his body refinement cultivation, cultivators wouldn’t be too weak in close combat, he didn’t expect them to be so strong.

After all, in his original opinion, no matter how powerful a cultivator was in close combat, how could they compare to a flying sword controlled by divine sense?

One had to know that flying swords were controlled by divine sense, so they were naturally in the realm of the sword.

And in close combat, if one couldn’t completely unify their body, true essence, and spiritual sense, they simply couldn’t reach the level of the sword.

In this way, even if the upper limit of a cultivator’s melee attack was higher, it was difficult to say whether it could match a long-range attack.

Chen Daoxuan was originally inclined to not be able to win.

In his opinion, his melee attack limit was 60, and although his ranged attack limit was 55, his spiritual sense was much faster and more flexible than his.

How could a melee fight against a ranged fighter?

However, the white-robed Daoist completely overturned his understanding.

The other party used an ironclad truth to tell him that divine sense was not necessarily faster than hand, there were even faster than divine sense.

In the brand new training hall.

The white-robed Daoist’s cold gaze softened a little, and then it returned to its cold state.

He waved his hand.

A figure identical to Chen Daoxuan appeared beside him.

“This is you from three days ago.”

The white-robed Daoist pointed at” Chen Daoxuan ” beside him and said,” Now, let’s see how big the gap between you and your original self is.”

“Yes.”

Chen Daoxuan nodded eagerly.

The white-robed Daoist retreated to the side.

The “Chen Daoxuan” that he had conjured was the same as three days ago. He attacked with two streaks of starlight.

Chen Daoxuan, who was holding a sword with both hands, was extremely calm in the face of such an attack.

Clang! Clang!

Two crisp sounds rang out.

The two streaks of starlight returned to the original appearance of the Flying Snow Sword and the Cheng Ying Sword, and flew out.

Chen Daoxuan himself was relaxed as he walked toward the “phantom” in the distance.

Seeing this scene, a hint of panic flashed across the face of the illusory Chen Daoxuan, but it was quickly suppressed by the other party.

He controlled the flying sword again and attacked Chen Daoxuan.

This time, the flying sword rippled with a faint layer of ripples. Clearly, the other party had already used the spatial sword intent.

However, Chen Daoxuan still used two extremely precise strikes to send the flying swords flying.

“Full of loopholes, too weak!”

Chen Daoxuan shook his head.

In the next moment.

With a flash of light, he flew toward the illusory body that was standing in the air.

Just like him three days ago, the first thing the other party thought of was to escape and use his flying sword to stop Chen Daoxuan.

Chen Daoxuan waved his right hand, and the flying sword was accurately sent flying by him again. It was as if the illusory flying sword had collided with his immortal sword.

Not only that.

Chen Daoxuan even borrowed the flying sword’s attack to increase his speed.

The illusory body was distracted by controlling the flying sword, so the speed of the flying light was already a little weaker. In an instant, Chen Daoxuan caught up.

Shua!

In the sky, a sword light flashed.

The illusionary body was obliterated into powder by Chen Daoxuan’s immortal sword. With Chen Daoxuan’s attack strength as high as 60, his four-layered flesh and blood body could not withstand it at all.

He flew back.

On the training ground, the white-robed Taoist saw Chen Daoxuan return and nodded.””This is your improvement over the past three days.”

“Thank you for your guidance, Senior!”

Chen Daoxuan bowed and said sincerely.

He finally knew that the original him was actually so ” weak”.

It was said that after a cultivator reached the third level of sword intent, they were qualified to create their own sword scripture. Chen Daoxuan felt that if his original sword technique had reached this level, he would have been able to combine it with his sword realm and create his own sword scripture.

At that time, his strength would definitely soar again.

A sword cultivator creating a sword scripture meant that he could unleash 100% of the strength of his current realm.

One had to know that no matter what kind of sword intent it was, under the same realm, there was actually no difference in power.

There was no such thing as a 2.7-fold increase in the power of the second level of the Rain Sword Essence, but the space sword essence that had just reached the first level had a 3-fold increase.

The reason for this was because…

It was because cultivators could not display the strength that their sword realm should have.

An inappropriate example.

Comprehending sword essence was like discovering a path.

The difference between the main sword intent and the branch sword intent was in the length of the path.

However, the sword essences of the same realm had the same length.

The reason why the increase in power was different was because the sword intent that had just been comprehended was like a path that had just been discovered. However, it was not complete, but blocked and incomplete.

The self-created sword scripture was to remove all the blockages on this path and repair all the flaws until it was completely for his own use.

In other words.

Chen Daoxuan’s second level of Sword Essence of Rain had a great degree of blockage and incompleteness, while the first level of Sword Essence of Space had a much smaller degree of blockage and incompleteness.

This was also the fundamental reason why the power of the Rain Sword Essence was not as strong as the Space Sword Essence despite the difference of one realm.

Once Chen Daoxuan created his own sword scripture based on these two sword essences, it would mean that he had renewed these two paths and completely made the two sword essences for his own use.

At that time, the power of the Silk Rain sword essence would definitely increase exponentially.

This was also the reason why Zhou Mubai’s ranking on the Purple Prefecture Sons of Heaven Rankings soared after he created his own sword art.

Normally speaking, a sword cultivator would only be able to do this when they reached the third stage of sword intent.

This was because it was usually only at this level that the accumulation of sword xiu would be enough for him to create his own sword scripture.

“19769th participant, congratulations on passing this trial.”

Before Chen Daoxuan could react, the white-robed Daoist pointed at his glabella again.

Instantly, countless information surged into Chen Daoxuan’s sea of consciousness.

As this information surged into his sea of consciousness, Chen Daoxuan felt a splitting headache coming at him.

The last time he had this feeling was when he received the Soul Setting Divine Light inheritance..
