Chapter 369: Understanding Sword Techniques (2)
aid; once they tried, everything would be clear.Le Yueren was about to test it here directly, but was stopped by Xiangyao. The reason given was that the place was too small for a proper test of Le Yue...Chapter 369 Comprehending Sword Techniques Part 2
That's right, when Xianyao saw the position of the sun, if it was still on the seventh day, then that would mean the sun had gone back. But how could this happen The only explanation is that a new day has started, but he doesn't know which day it is.
That's why Xianyao asked. Now things are interesting; it turns out to be already the fourth day. These ten sword techniques have made him think for more than three days. Is it possible that not only his cultivation progress has slowed down in this land, but also his comprehension ability has weakened
Xianyao didn't know that what he saw were actually the strongest and most difficult to learn sword techniques. An ordinary person wouldn't be able to learn ten of them in four days, or even four years or forty years.
Simply put, the time he spent has made all the sword talent geniuses worldwide feel ashamed until death, including Li Yihun who believed himself to have unparalleled wisdom.
If Li Yihun knew this situation and believed it was true, then he wouldn't dare say "My wisdom is unmatched in the world" again.
However, he wouldn't believe it because he felt that even with his wisdom, it took him ten years to learn ten sword techniques, but not truly mastering them. How could he believe Xianyao mastered all of these ten sword techniques within just four days
No, he absolutely would never believe this point, forever!
"Then you guys continue your journey and can still get good results!" Xianyao didn't talk much with Niu Jian et al., only asking them to keep going.
Yin Ruoxi et al. naturally thought the same way; they would do this without saying anything, at most organizing here for a while. But it seems that they don’t have any intention of organizing here either. If not for meeting Xianyao, they wouldn't even stop.
However, Yin Ruoxi had some questions she wanted to ask Xianyao!
"How did you choose this path How long have you been here" Yin Ruoxi asked.
"I chose this path because it's the safest and simplest one. As for how long I've been here, that doesn't matter much. You guys continue your journey; anyway, the time you take to reach your destination is far less than mine." Xianyao smiled but didn't seem to answer any questions.
"..." Yin Ruoxi was silent for a moment and looked at Xianyao before deciding to leave without continuing her questioning.
In her feelings, Xianyao wouldn’t say anything more. Rather than wasting time here, it would be better to arrive at the Huáng Pú family sooner; that's more important to them.
They are not like Xianyao and Loner Star who came merely for some practice killing qi. They all come bearing their own or their families' futures on their shoulders; there can't be any jokes here.
Soon, Yin Ruoxi et al. left and disappeared from Xianyao's sight range. Among them, only three people bid farewell to Xianyao: Niu Jian and the two sisters of Yin family. However, their natures are different; the two sisters were just being polite, unlike Niu Jian who was genuine.
"A-jian, why are you so enthusiastic about that Xianyao You seem to have only met him once."
Yin Ruoxi found it strange and wondered why Niu Jian had such enthusiasm. From her understanding of Niu Jian, she hadn’t seen him act this way towards strangers before. Although he sometimes acts generously and is easy to befriend, the feeling was different.
"Brother Xianyao is a good person; he taught me quite a few things," replied Niu Jian.
"What did he teach you" Yin Ruoxi asked curiously.
Niu Jian wanted to open his mouth and answer, but suddenly remembered what Xianyao said. He should think twice before doing anything and consider the consequences of each action. He felt that this sentence couldn't be spoken.
"I can't say; it's a secret between men!"
"..." Yin Ruoxi was silent, while Yin Ruo Shui found this matter amusing and laughed on the side. She never thought Niu Jian wouldn’t tell her something, as this had never happened before.
This stupid bull actually wants to keep secrets from me! What did that person teach him
Yin Ruoxi felt very frustrated but didn't show it…
Returning to Xianyao's side, he still sat on the stone by the riverside. His behavior seemed a bit strange; why was he always here He should have gone with Loner Star to Huáng Pú family, right After waiting here for five days before and now another four days passing, there has been no sign of him leaving.
From Xianyao's actions, it can directly exclude the possibility that Loner Star got lost. If Loner Star were lost, then Xianyao wouldn’t stay in one place but would search for him.
Xianyao doing this has only one reason: he’s waiting here for Loner Star!
Loner Star should be busy with something important; since there's nothing Xianyao can help, all he could do is wait here.
But what exactly is going on here Is there anything that Xiaoyao can't help with
The answer to all this can only be known when Lone Star appears. For now, the only thing to do is wait!
However, waiting doesn’t mean one has nothing to do. There are still many things that can be done while waiting. Right now, Xiaoyao is doing something—taking out some books from his bag and reading them.
Since entering this land, Xiaoyao has been collecting books, putting any unread ones into his backpack—the one he made himself, the large leather satchel with high capacity.
Because of this, more than half of the space in Xiaoyao's leather satchel is filled with books. This amount is what remains after selling all the finished reading books; otherwise, several leather satchels wouldn't be enough to contain them.
The books that Xiaoyao has collected so far are mostly ordinary ones, occasionally including a few secret manuals and secrets. However, Xiaoyao isn’t in a hurry about this situation because currently collecting these is relatively ordinary; comprehensively understanding this land is the most important thing at present.
To understand something, one must start with the basics. Regardless of whether it's intelligence or martial arts techniques, all start from the fundamentals.
At this moment, Xiaoyao has already organized more things than when he first arrived, having a much more comprehensive understanding of this land.
For example, this land is also a continent called Holy Continent. On the Holy Continent, there are countries, sects, and clans, each with their own rankings!
The country consists of an empire, three super great powers, dozens of major powers, and countless small nations.
Sects are divided into righteous and evil factions, each having the top ten sects. This ranking is re-evaluated every decade, with a chance for any sect to take over if it has enough strength.
Of course, righteous and evil factions don't mix. Righteous factions don’t need explanation; as for evil factions, they are not everyone’s enemy but rather roles that the righteous do not recognize.
Although they aren’t recognized by the righteous, many countries tolerate their existence. Sometimes, evil sects can be more powerful and better fit into a country's machinery than righteous ones, unless it is an already corrupted faction; such would never be tolerated at least in the public eye.
The reason why righteous factions don't object to this situation is simple: they cannot outmuscle nations. In the Holy Continent, countries are the major forces—large and super great powers far surpass sects’ strength. So there’s no need to mention those one and only empires.
Within a country's power lies the elite of various sects, even if not the very top-tier elites, their numbers still exceed the quality advantage in quantity. Generally speaking, sects won’t oppose countries since it would lead them to being besieged and basically eradicated.
Nations usually don't bother with sects either; most sects have high status, making few dare offend them because these sects can cultivate a large number of elites who hold important positions in the country.
Of course, this applies to thriving sects. Those that have declined will be forgotten no matter when or where they are.
The places Xiaoyao has encountered so far are mostly major power levels; he hasn’t met anyone from super great powers or higher yet. That includes the people who came for Huáng Pú Family, most of whom were only at the level of major powers and hadn't reached super great power.
This doesn’t mean they don’t exist; it's just that such individuals are rare, and Xiaoyao hasn’t encountered any yet!
The clans here are basically similar to sects. Like Huáng Pú Family, if there is a difference, it’s that clans rely on internal family competition for continuity, while sects follow the simple rule of survival of the fittest.
Continuing to read books...
Xiaoyao read one book after another and organized them into the already-read section, preparing to dispose of them later. His reading speed was still as fast as ever; he could skim a page in one glance even if it wasn’t as fast as flipping through pages at once.
Just when Xiaoyao was focused on his book, another visitor arrived!
"What’s going on here Is this route popular" Xiaoyao felt puzzled and greeted the person coming over courteously before continuing to read.
Greeting someone is polite, but Xiaoyao had no interest in talking with them; he also believed they wouldn’t bother him since they were busy with their "competition."
However, when he noticed these people weren't heading forward but coming toward him instead, Xiaoyao put down his book and looked at the visitors.
The number of visitors wasn't large; there were only two, both beautiful women who walked straight up to Xiaoyao while staring at him.
"Could it be that my charm is too great, making them fall for me at first sight" Xiaoyao thought to himself. This could explain why they approached him. Otherwise, why would they come over
Asking for directions wouldn’t be possible either since these people should have been well-prepared before coming here; it’s unlikely they would make such an elementary mistake.
If the reason is love at first sight, then that's even less likely. Therefore, there must be something fishy going on... (To Be Continued), let me handle it instead!'"This... indeed, if Xuanya were to meddle, those being treated would certainly feel rather uncomfortable.Furthermore, as Daoist Indestructible said, the people being treate...
