Chapter 71: Simplifying The [Twin Weaving Technique]

Translator: TYZEditor: Pranav

The [Twin Weaving Technique] was created by Master Han Yuqin when she was nineteen years old.

Rome was not built in a day, and she did not become a master overnight. Without in-depth knowledge and innate talent, one would not be able to become a master. All the historical masters had displayed exceptional innate abilities and had stood out from the masses when they were young.

Nineteen years was an age at which most people were still studying in the Induction Ground, yet at this age, Master Han Yuqin had already created her own unique weaving technique. Such talent was indeed jaw-dropping.

During this period of time, Ai Hui had a deep impression of her. He had displayed great admiration for her on more than one occasion.

In theory, the [Twin Weaving Technique] was not really complicated. Its design was simple yet ingenious, which brought about an aesthetic balance to it.

Of course, the word ”simple” was relative to different individuals; this technique far surpassed Ai Hui’s current powers and knowledge.

The process of trying to understand the [Twin Weaving Technique] had broadened Ai Hui’s perspective. To him, there were countless obstacles present in the simple steps of the [Twin Weaving Technique].

However, he did not give up.

Whenever he encountered an obstacle, he would think about how to solve the problem. No one guided him; he needed to solve every obstacle he encountered himself. Moreover, he had a weak foundation and did not have much knowledge on elemental energy. If it were another person in his position, they would not know what to do at all.

Luckily, Ai Hui had used the powers of the sword embryo to view Senior Mingxiu’s demonstration that day.

Every movement of Senior Mingxiu and all the details of the flow of the elemental energy had been firmly engraved in his mind, and this played a significant role in helping him comprehend the [Twin Weaving Technique].

When Ai Hui truly understood and digested the principles behind the [Twin Weaving Technique], he benefitted greatly from it. Master Han Yuqin’s masterwork contained techniques and ideas on elemental energy that were extremely new to Ai Hui, who previously knew nothing at all.

The benefits of such spontaneous thoughts were extremely precious.

Ai Hui, who was in deep thought, was not thrilled at the benefits he received; instead, he was filled with endless agony. He had finally solved a problem with great difficulty, but before he could even rejoice, a tougher problem arose.

When he fully comprehended the principles behind the [Twin Weaving Technique], he realized that he could not even use it. His current base level was far below the basic base level requirement for this skill; he calculated that the minimum elemental energy level that was needed for this technique was the fourth palace.

He had not even activated a single palace.

However, he did not intend to give up just like this. He was a practical individual and did not forget what his goal was. That goal was to successfully weave elemental cloths!

In fact, this was not the first time he had encountered such a situation.

When he was in the Wilderness, he had been placed in many similar circumstances. When he did not have a grass sword, he would make a wooden sword; he was fine with anything as long as it could be used. When he was in the swordsman school, he did not have any bookshelves to place and arrange the swordplay manuals, so he had picked up scrap wood and had made them himself.

Due to having a pathetic amount of resources, poor people would always encounter various difficulties in their lives. It was a case of robbing Peter to pay Paul—using worthless materials flexibly to create something usable.

One could say that this was the poor person’s wisdom. Even though it was not efficient, it was still usable.

In Ai Hui’s hands, the [Twin Weaving Technique] changed beyond recognition.

When an elemental energy needle left one’s body, their elemental energy would quickly deplete, so Ai Hui attempted to reduce the distance between the elemental energy needle and his finger. Eventually, the distance between the elemental energy needle and his finger had shrunk to only two centimeters. Although it did not appear graceful and elegant, it could still be used, and for a rookie like Ai Hui, it was instead much easier to control.

For someone like Ai Hui, who had little mastery over elemental energy, it was impossible to make two elemental energy needles react to each other. Hence, Ai Hui thought of another method, which was to coordinate his hands and eyes. Even though elemental energy may be sensitive, it was still easier for Ai Hui to control his muscles and coordinate his hands instead.

Of course, it was impossible for Ai Hui to harmonize his elemental energy like what Senior Mingxiu had done.
