Xiao Chen was in a daze. After all, Qin Feng's swordsmanship was the strongest he had ever seen. He thought that his understanding of swordsmanship was close to the peak, but compared to Qin Feng, there was still a big gap.
While Xiao Chen was in a daze, Qin Feng, who was practicing his swordsmanship, stabbed his sword toward Xiao Chen without any warning.
Qin Feng did not use any cultivation in this attack. He only used a pure swordsmanship attack. Seeing that Qin Feng's sword was piercing toward him like the peak of a mountain, Xiao Chen instinctively moved his mind. The Dustless Sword instantly appeared in his hand and collided with Qin Feng's long sword.
The tip of the two long swords collided fiercely. At the same time, neither of them used any spiritual power.
After the collision, Qin Feng did not choose to stop. Instead, he stabbed his sword again. Seeing this, Xiao Chen did not show any weakness and also counterattacked.
At the lakeside, Xiao Chen and Qin Feng were locked in a fierce battle. Of course, both of them were purely competing with swordsmanship. However, as time passed, Xiao Chen gradually fell into a disadvantageous position when it came to swordsmanship.
Compared to Qin Feng, Xiao Chen's understanding of swordsmanship was indeed a little lacking. This was undeniable.
Even if they did not use their cultivation, Qin Feng could still rely on his own understanding of swordsmanship to gradually gain the upper hand.
However, even if he was at a disadvantage, Xiao Chen still benefited a lot. Originally, in the Great Thousand World, Xiao Chen's swordsmanship could be said to have reached a plateau.
After all, as a swordsman, Xiao Chen could be considered to be at the top of the Great Thousand World. No one could surpass him in terms of pure understanding of swordsmanship, including those Sovereigns.
Because there was no opponent in the Great Thousand World, Xiao Chen's swordsmanship had improved very slowly in recent years.
This was something that could not be helped. When anything reached a peak, it would become extremely difficult to improve and break through again. After all, it was too difficult to surpass the peak.
However, now, Qin Feng's appearance was like telling Xiao Chen that his swordsmanship was far from reaching the peak. In addition, with a sword master like Qin Feng, Xiao Chen could clearly feel that his swordsmanship was improving rapidly.
This was like many things that one thought were perfect suddenly became not so perfect.
There were mistakes and loopholes, because only in this way would there be room for improvement. However, if one thought that something was perfect and there were no loopholes, it would be the most difficult to improve it.
Just like Xiao Chen before, he was unable to find any major mistakes in his own swordsmanship. Under such circumstances, it would be very difficult for Xiao Chen to improve his swordsmanship. It could even be said that it was impossible for him to do so.
However, now, as he fought with Qin Feng, Xiao Chen found that, or rather, Qin Feng pointed out many loopholes in Xiao Chen's swordsmanship.
Originally, it should have been perfect, but under Qin Feng's sword, there were loopholes.
As a result, Xiao Chen naturally had the most intuitive feeling. He sighed in his heart, "It turns out that my swordsmanship still has so many loopholes."
The battle did not last long. After about 15 minutes, Qin Feng took the initiative to stop his movements. Seeing this, Xiao Chen did not continue to attack, although he felt that it was not enough.
Qin Feng's long sword was sheathed. His face was calm as he looked at Xiao Chen without the slightest expression.
"Your talent is not bad, but your understanding of swordsmanship is not enough."
This was the first time that someone said that his understanding of swordsmanship was not enough. However, Xiao Chen did not refute this. He knew that Qin Feng was telling the truth.
This was because Xiao Chen had sensed from the very beginning that Qin Feng had already gone easy on him during the fight. Otherwise, he would not have been able to hold on for so long.
Moreover, rather than saying that they were exchanging pointers, it was better to say that Qin Feng was giving him pointers. After all, with Xiao Chen's current strength, he was far from qualified to exchange pointers with Qin Feng. Regardless of whether it was the understanding of swordsmanship or the cultivation realm, there was a big gap between Xiao Chen and Qin Feng.
Hearing Qin Feng's words, Xiao Chen cupped his hands and bowed. "Thank you, senior."
Although Qin Feng looked about the same age as him, Xiao Chen still respectfully addressed him as senior. Regarding this, Qin Feng did not say anything. He turned around, looked at the lake in the distance, and said faintly.
"The monk said that you came from a universe called the Great Thousand World?"
"Yes." Hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded and replied.
"The Great Thousand World, how is it?"
"It can't be compared to the Primordial World and the Great World."
Qin Feng was also curious about the Great Thousand World. Therefore, he asked. Xiao Chen also answered truthfully. Compared to the Primordial World and the Great World, the Great Thousand World was indeed not comparable. It was the result of being completely crushed in all aspects.
Hearing Xiao Chen's answer, Qin Feng's expression did not change much. After a moment of silence, he said faintly.
"Do you know how many realms there are?"
The realms of swordsmanship? Xiao Chen had never heard of this before. Seeing this, Qin Feng did not wait for Xiao Chen to reply. He let out a breath of turbid air and continued.
"At the initial stage of swordsmanship, comprehending the way of swordsmanship, becoming one with the sword, having the sword in the heart, no sword in the heart, and the way of swordsmanship is divine."
Qin Feng said slowly. Hearing Qin Feng's words, Xiao Chen frowned slightly. Xiao Chen had indeed never come into contact with the realms of swordsmanship. However, after hearing Qin Feng's words, Xiao Chen had a slight understanding.
At the initial stage of swordsmanship, comprehending the way of swordsmanship, becoming one with the sword, having the sword in the heart, Xiao Chen could understand what these meant. However, there was no sword in the heart, and the way of swordsmanship is divine. Xiao Chen did not know what it meant.
Seeing that Xiao Chen was frowning and deep in thought, Qin Feng continued.
"Your current realm should be having the sword in the heart, but you have not reached the state of having no sword in the heart."
"Senior, please enlighten me." Hearing this, Xiao Chen cupped his hands and bowed.
He did not feel that it was a shameful thing to ask Qin Feng for advice. After all, Qin Feng was stronger than him. Moreover, Xiao Chen did not have a sword in the heart. If a sword cultivator did not have a sword in the heart, then what was he cultivating?
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Qin Feng threw the sword in his hand to the side and said slowly, "Having no sword in the heart is not giving up, but having no self. Only by having no self can one reach the peak and comprehend the true essence of swordsmanship."
Following Qin Feng's words, Xiao Chen could clearly feel that there was no longer any sword aura around Qin Feng's body. It was as if he was not a sword cultivator at all. However, as soon as he finished speaking, the originally calm surface of the lake seemed to have been cut by a sword. The entire lake was instantly split into two. Seeing this scene, Xiao Chen was stunned.
