Eternal Sword

Chapter 39: Burning Wood (Please collect and read)

Chen Tang asked: "If one can cultivate to the ninth level, what level of power will one reach?"

"The power of the ninth level is almost the same as that of the lower eighth level, and can reach the level of opening a five-stone bow." said the mountain guest.

Chen Tang seemed to be thinking about something, and murmured softly: "So, if you practice to the extreme, it will be difficult to find an opponent at the same level."

"good."

The guest in the mountain nodded and said, "This is only the most direct benefit for you. There are many indirect and even subsequent effects. You are not at a high enough level at the moment and cannot experience them."

"The ultimate state can not only raise your upper limit in this realm, but also give you unlimited possibilities for future achievements!"

Chen Tang pondered and said, "Now I am practicing the Subduing Tiger Fist, and I feel that my strength is increasing slowly. If it continues like this, how long will it take to reach the ultimate state?"

"It may take three to two months at the fastest, or a year or two at the slowest."

"It takes that long?"

Chen Tang frowned slightly.

After more than two months, he reached the ninth rank.

In fact, this cultivation speed is already quite terrifying.

But after all, he started late and is a little older, so naturally he wants to progress as quickly as possible.

The guest in the mountain seemed to see what Chen Tang was thinking and said, "Of course, this is just your step-by-step training. If you can get other opportunities, you may be able to reach the ninth level faster."

"Other opportunities?"

Chen Tang could tell that the guest from the mountain seemed to have some hidden meaning in his words, and he couldn't help but become more thoughtful and asked, "Senior, do you mean..."

"Don't you have an old man at home? Do you let him eat and drink for free at your house every day?"

The mountain guest said with a smile: "If you can learn some skills from him, it will be of great help to you."

Chen Tang said: "I can see that the fat old man has some skills, but I feel that he is definitely not as good as the senior, so I didn't learn from him."

The mountain guest laughed and said, "You don't have to flatter me, I have heard too many such words."

After a pause, the Shanzhongke said, "That old man is indeed quite capable. In some aspects, there are not many people in the world who can surpass him."

After getting the approval of the guest from the mountain, Chen Tang had already started to think about how to trick the fat old man when he returned.

Suddenly, Chen Tang remembered something and took out the book "Thirteen Styles of Swift Sword" from his arms and said, "Senior, I got a book of sword techniques at the foot of the mountain before, but the old man at home said it was worthless. What do you think of this sword technique?"

"Thirteen Styles of Quick Sword?"

Shan Zhongke took it, flipped through a few pages and threw it on the ground, sneering: "This kind of rubbish is worthy of being called a sharp knife, what kind of thing is this, it pollutes my eyes!"

Chen Tang's eyebrows drooped instantly.

It turns out that he revealed a secret book that is not even as good as a blank slate.

The fat old man was just complaining, but the mountain visitor started to scold him without any mercy.

The mountain visitor suddenly reached out and picked up a thin piece of ice from the side of the cave. He held it in his hand as if he was holding a knife.

"You keep an eye on it."

The guest in the mountain said lightly.

Chen Tang's heart trembled, realizing that the man in the mountain was about to take action, and he looked over attentively.

After the time travel, although he spent most of his time practicing in the snow-capped mountains, the Mountain Man did not teach him anything except the Subduing Tiger Fist, nor did he reveal any of his skills.

Now, it was the first time that Shan Zhongke took the initiative to take action.

The guest in the mountain reminded him, "You should enter the state of divine illumination and take a look."

"what?"

Chen Tang was slightly startled, but without thinking too much, he directly entered the state of divine illumination.

The whole person became extremely focused, with his mind concentrated on his eyebrows. His perception of the surroundings instantly became extremely clear, as if everything had slowed down.

Under his gaze, the man in the mountain took action.

To be precise, that's not called a move.

It seemed to have moved only slightly.

It seemed as if the mountain visitor held the knife in his hand and slashed forward.

Chen Tang was not sure. He did not see clearly.

The only thing he was sure of was that the book "Thirteen Styles of Quick Sword" suddenly caught fire!
Chen Tang exited the state of divine illumination, looked at the book in front of him that was about to turn into ashes, and subconsciously asked: "Senior just made a move, right?"

"Do you see clearly?"

The guest in the mountain said calmly: "This is a sharp knife."

Chen Tang was stunned.

What did he see clearly?

In the state of divine illumination, it is impossible to tell where the mountain visitor is moving or not, and cannot see his movements clearly.

Under normal circumstances, if the man in the mountain drew his knife, he wouldn't even notice it!

Could a person's swordsmanship be this fast?
"Why did this book suddenly catch fire?"

Chen Tang asked again.

The guest in the mountain said, "Because the speed of this knife is fast enough, if it hits next to it, it will be set on fire."

"What kind of swordsmanship is this?"

"The wood-burning knife."

Chen Tang's heart moved. This name sounded familiar. He had heard it in his previous life.

I didn’t expect that I would actually witness it with my own eyes in this world!

More importantly, the knife used by the mountain guest just now was not a real iron knife, but an ice knife.

The secret book is burning, but the ice blade is not melting. What kind of control is this?

"Can I learn this sword technique?"

Chen Tang blinked and asked expectantly.

"of course can."

The guest in the mountain said: "To be precise, this is not a sword technique, but a method of practicing the fast sword. Although you have the state of meditation and your comprehension is very high, if you want to practice the "Burning Wood Sword" successfully, you must spend time and energy to practice hard."

Chen Tang nodded.

He has a high level of comprehension, so he learns things quickly and can grasp the essence of the moves more easily.

But if you want to achieve something, you have to keep honing your skills.

The guest in the mountain said, "There are nine levels of the Burning Wood Sword. If you can practice and strike nine swords in a row in one breath, you will reach the first level. The second level is eighteen swords in one breath... The ninth level is eighty-one swords in one breath."

Chen Tang was secretly shocked when he heard this.

In one breath, about three seconds, he swung his sword eighty-one times. What does that mean?
It may only take a few tenths of a second to strike with a knife.

Chen Tang digested it for a while before asking, "Senior once said that there are four levels of martial arts in the world: form, transformation, spirit, and intention. Does the Burning Wood Sword also have this distinction?"

The four realms are to know its form, understand its changes, grasp its spirit, and comprehend its meaning.

The mountain guest had told him this on the snowy mountain.

The mountain guest said: "The first six levels of the burning wood sword are still just the realm of a sharp sword. Only when you reach the seventh level, the burning of objects, and the eighth level, the burning of the sword, can you reach the level of mastering its spirit."

"If you can cultivate to the ninth level, you will understand its meaning. Everything will burn when the sword passes through it!"

"These are too far away from you. You should practice the Burning Wood Sword to the first level first."

The guest in the mountain said: "The reason why I taught you the "Burning Wood Sword" is, on the one hand, because among all the swords in the world, the Burning Wood Sword is the fastest. On the other hand, this is also the sword technique that suits you best."

"Senior, are you talking about cooperating with the meditation?"

Chen Tang's heart moved and he asked.

Shan Zhongke showed his appreciation and said, "You are very smart to have thought of this. If you can make some progress in your practice of the Burning Wood Knife, combined with the Divine Illumination state, this will be your greatest killer move!"

"A burning wood sword under the divine light, let alone the same level, even if it is one or two levels higher than you, it is not certain that you can escape unscathed."

Chen Tang felt a surge of heat in his heart when he heard this.

In this way, the power of meditation can be maximized!
