Chapter 371 – Intellectual Sword (Part Two) (2/2)
“The greatest feature of the Star Condensation Realm is the existence of the Star Domain. If one wanted to break through it, perhaps they would use an even greater cultivation level to forcefully suppress it, use sword energy to crush it or use enough true essence to forcefully attack one point. Your level of cultivation is not enough, and the true essence output from your sword moves is also not enough. Even if your dagger is sharp enough, it is unable to enter the world of someone else.”
Su Li glanced at Chen Changsheng’s dagger. He said, “Fortunately, most of the Star Condensation experts have undeserved fame, and their Star Domains are far from perfect. They all have weaknesses and flaws. If the opponent does not move, perhaps he can use his level of cultivation and bearing to cover up the weaknesses and flaws, but once he starts moving, they can definitely be seen. As a result, what you need to learn the most right now is how to see the weakness of an opponent in the Star Condensation realm.”
Chen Changsheng thought about the battle in the morning and said, “Just like how you saw through Xue He’s flaws?”
“Correct, but if you really wait for the opponent to move and then see it, it will often be too late. As a result, according to your current cultivation, the best method is to calculate beforehand, and choose a few locations even if you have to guess.”
“How do you calculate?”
“Age, cultivation, body strength, body state, the move that has the highest chance of being used, the features of their Star Domain, how much true essence, background sect or school, customs that they follow, features of the geography, eating habits, marital status, number of children…”
“Senior, what has it got to do with their marital status and the amount of children they have?”
“Those who are married will obviously be slightly less courageous, and their body strength will be slightly weaker.”
“Then what about the number of children?”
“If they just had a kid, that person will definitely be powerful and difficult to defeat, because he would have too many things that he is attached to and unwilling to let go of.”
“What if he has seven children?”
“That person will also be very terrifying, because it is very possible that he doesn’t fear death.”
“...so speaking of it this way, being married for too long will make you extremely fear death?”
“You speak typical words of the inexperienced and those that lack knowledge. Just what is terrifying about the opponent? I fear that you think of suicide every day.”
“...Senior, we are talking about important stuff, so please stop making trouble without reason.”
“Who’s the one making the trouble?”
Su Li indeed was not causing trouble. He gave Chen Changsheng thirty-seven detailed examples. No matter if it was age, cultivation, body strength, body state, background sect or school or skin tone, they all carried importance in battle. According to what he said, if Chen Changsheng was able to learn this sword style, he would be able to see the flaws of a Star Condensation opponent very easily.
The sword style did not have any moves, and did not require certain levels of true essence or cultivation. It only required intelligence and great abilities in calculation, giving the sword-user an all-seeing mind that could see through the world. As a result, it was called the Intellectual Sword.
The night passed slowly and the stars remained in the sky. Su Li treated the sword as a brush, writing and drawing on the ground by the lake. He explained the connections and changes that these things that seemed completely unrelated could bring. Chen Changsheng slowly accepted the ideas regarding the Intellectual Sword, and listened with great attentiveness and seriousness. His mind constantly thought quickly, unwilling to miss a single sentence or even a single word.
Finishing the explanation of the Intellectual Sword, Su Li lay down between the two furry deer and started sleeping.
Chen Changsheng sat by the lake. He did not sleep because he could not sleep.
Before his eyes were a series of densely packed words and extremely complicated calculation processes.
He was good at forcefully memorizing things. However, his ability in this aspect was really ordinary.
Without enough intelligence, how could he learn the Intellectual Sword?
He was unable to grasp this sword style that seemed easy but was actually extremely complicated.
Just at this moment, he suddenly thought of that Lady Chujian. There seemed to be white clothes drifting on the surface of the lake before him. If it was her who had extreme talent in the area of calculating and deducing who came to learn this sword style, she probably would have learned it very quickly.
