Chapter 12: Dual Swordsmanship (1/2)

Qin stayed silent for a moment. After a while, he opened his mouth ”When I was small, my godfather used to tell me a story. It was about a swordsman. He said that swordsman was invincible because he had nothing but the sword in his heart.”

”For him, food is a sword, water is food, blood is a sword, and even cultivation is a sword. He used to raise his hand and thousands of swords fall from the sky. He used to float and travel the world in a single word. When I was small, I was fascinated by that story.”

”For me, swordsmanship is just more than path. Because it is the only force that pushes towards cultivation. If you ask me to be an ordinary dual cultivator, I will choose to be an ordinary swordsman. If you ask me to be a devil dual cultivator, I will choose to be a devil sword cultivator.”

”But, I have never found the answer. I spent more than six years in a Tan family, becoming their servant. I had many chances to cultivate their cultivation technique. But, I rejected every single thing. Because when I thought about swordsmanship, I see the world without a limit.”

”But, if I will be locked by the limit of those cultivation techniques, why should I choose them? I know I am not a talented genius for swordsmanship. I trained sword, saber, spear, knives, dagger, hammer, halberd, knuckles, and every other weapon I could get only to find that I didn't have a talent for anything.”

”That's why I set my mind to become a swordsman. Because I don't want to live with the regret of choosing the wrong weapon. After all, a weapon is your life partner. Sorry if my answer disappoints. I am fascinated by dual cultivation but my path belongs to swordsmanship.”

”If I can, then I will only use dual cultivation for faster cultivation.”

After speaking, Qin decided to stay silent. He knows he rejected something that he might regret. Why would he regret it? Because he doesn't want to die. If he dies now, how can he become the great swordsman?

Claire stayed silent for a long time. It is hard for her. Because she has spent her time with a person that doesn't have fixed motivation to do things. He does have a goal but his goal and dreams often change by his own view about the world.

But, the person in front of her is dead set on being a swordsman. Suddenly, the corner of her lips rose as she spoke ”Then, how about you become the Dual Swordsman?”

”I heard about that. Using two swords does improve my strength during the battle but I don't have the right martial art for that.” Qin shook his head and answered. But, Claire hurriedly ”I think you didn't understand this.”

”I am not talking about two-handed swordsmanships. I am talking about the sword in your hand and a sword between your legs. That's the Dual Sword Cultivation that I am talking about.”

At this moment, not only Qin even the entity inside his body looked at her speechlessly. Suddenly, Claire's eyes turned serious as she explained ”I know there is no such thing as being cruel to a man and not to a woman. But, there are ways to be cruel with a man and also woman without killing her.”

”You can use the sword in your hand to fight the man and use the sword between your legs to fight the woman. You haven't seen the world. If you can become a true dual cultivator, you can inflict pain in pleasure and pleasure in pain.”

”You can train both swords. I know I made a mistake trying to dictate your path. But, you have to accept the fact that you have a Dual Cultivation Body and your path has already made a turn. You can't return to your original path even with that bl....”

Suddenly, Claire felt chills on her back and forcefully stopped her words. Qin noticed it and just when he tried to ask, she shook her head and said ”I can't dictate your path. So, you can choose the path as you like. Dual Sword Cultivation is just my advice. You can take it or throw it on the dustbin. It doesn't matter to me.”

”And, remember you can't enter this place once you are in danger. Because if it the strong personal, he can attack you through this space. But of course, you can grow an entire world inside this place. But...….” After that, Claire paused.

”But what?” Qin was excited upon hearing this function of this space.

”But, you need to build everything physically. How about we walk out for a moment?” Claire said as she turned around and walked away. Qin hurriedly followed her. As they walked out, Qin found himself a garden.

There were lots of trees and flowers around. It was a cold night and the moon was shining in the sky.

”You can bring people and even start your own kingdom. But, remember only bring the people you trust. This space doesn't have any defensive or attack ability. That's why you need to be careful of everything you do.” Claire explained as she waves her hand towards the view in front of his eyes.

”Now, you should probably return and try to find an Essence Vein. If you can find it, I can help you convince it to move inside this world. Once you have Qi Vein, you don't need to go out and cultivate. Of course, as I said, don't try to use this space as a tool to escape from the battles.” Claire continued.

”What is an Essence Vein?” Qin curiously asked. He had heard of Essence Stones but this was the first time he heard about Essence Vein.
