On the same day, the news that Jian Wushuang had completely comprehended the first and second sword scars left behind by Palace Master Xuan Yi spread throughout Gumen.
Upon hearing the news, those who had thought that Jian Wushuang was too arrogant and conceited were immediately dumbfounded.
Never in their wildest dreams had they imagined that Jian Wushuang's talent in the Way of the Sword would be so high.
Now that they thought of Jian Wushuang's actions over the past half year, no one dared to say that Jian Wushuang was conceited.
There was a fine line between confidence and conceit!
If Jian Wushuang hadn't reached this step in half a year, or if his future performance had been mediocre, it could have been said that he was conceited. But now, Jian Wushuang had used reality to give those people a hard slap in the face.
Clearly, he had made this choice with absolute confidence.
Who would dare say that Jian Wushuang wouldn't be able to comprehend the third sword scar in half a year?
And once he did, Jian Wushuang would become Palace Master Xuan Yi's personal disciple. With Palace Master Xuan Yi's personal guidance, his future achievements would be limitless.
"Palace Master Xuan Yi!"
Many disciples of Gumen were filled with envy toward Jian Wushuang.
Palace Master Xuan Yi had an extraordinary status in Gumen and was very special.
Gumen, as a top sect, was able to surpass the three titans to a certain extent largely because of Palace Master Xuan Yi's existence.
There were many experts in Gumen who were skilled in various weapons, but Palace Master Xuan Yi was the only one who had been able to establish the Sword Palace.
Everyone in Gumen knew of Palace Master Xuan Yi's tyrannical and mysterious strength. To be able to become the disciple of such an expert was an extravagant dream for many disciples. Unfortunately, Palace Master Xuan Yi's standards were too high.
When they saw that Jian Wushuang wanted to become the disciple of Palace Master Xuan Yi, the experts in Gumen were not optimistic. Because the standards were too high, even if Jian Wushuang could reach them, it would take an extremely long time.
But now, Jian Wushuang had only used half a year to become an in-name disciple. This ability was indeed enviable.
The next day, the Sword Gauntlet opened.
Palace Master Xuan Yi personally gave a lecture, and all disciples who had comprehended the first sword scar rushed to the Sword Gauntlet.
Within the Sword Tower, some disciples of the Sword Dao were sitting cross-legged on the empty ground, and at a glance, there were only a little over 20 people.
Jian Wushuang was also sitting among the crowd.
Before long, Xuan Yi, dressed in a white robe, appeared at the top of the Sword Gauntlet.
Once Xuan Yi appeared, the Sword Gauntlet immediately quieted down. Xuan Yi glanced at the crowd below and nodded slightly. Then, he began his lecture.
"The sword is mainly used for killing!"
"The sword's edge can stab, the sword's edge can slash, the sword's back can block, and the sword's body can flick!"
"It can be said that the sword is the middle of all weapons. It can attack and defend, and it is the most comprehensive and balanced!"
"The Sword Principle is the Way of Killing. It is broad and profound!"
"The Sword Soul is the beginning of the Sword Principle. Awakening the Sword Soul is only the qualification to comprehend the Sword Principle. In other words, no matter how strong the Sword Soul is, it is still not considered as crossing the threshold of the Sword Principle!"
"The true Sword Principle is based on the Sword Heart!"
…
"Sword Heart?" Jian Wushuang listened carefully.
The Sword Principle taught by Palace Master Xuan Yi was completely different from that of Vice Palace Master Nie and Vice Palace Master Ling Yu.
The Sword Principle taught by Palace Master Xuan Yi was from simplicity to complexity. It was equivalent to the process of a tree gradually evolving from the most ordinary sapling into a towering tree.
It was very profound and complicated. Jian Wushuang and the many disciples present could not understand all the things that Xuan Yi taught. However, they only needed to understand part of it and benefited a lot.
Every word from Palace Master Xuan Yi seemed to contain a special magic that pointed directly to the essence of the Sword Principle. In the Sword Gauntlet, all the disciples were fascinated by his lecture, including Jian Wushuang.
Palace Master Xuan Yi lectured for a full day and night.
"The Great Way of the Sword starts from shallow to deep, and then from deep to shallow."
At this point, Palace Master Xuan Yi finally stopped.
Most of the disciples who were listening to the lecture below were immersed in comprehension. After a while, they woke up one after another.
When they woke up, their faces were filled with surprise and regret.
They were surprised because this lecture pointed directly to the essence of the Sword Principle and benefited them a lot. They also came into contact with many things that they had never thought of before. It was much better than listening to Vice Palace Master Nie and Vice Palace Master Ling Yu's lectures.
Regrettably, Palace Master Xuan Yi rarely lectured. He usually only lectured once a year, and sometimes only once every few years. The opportunity was too rare.
"Jian Wushuang!" Palace Master Xuan Yi looked down.
Jian Wushuang, who had just woken up from his comprehension, heard Palace Master Xuan Yi's call. He immediately stood up and walked forward.
"Palace Master Xuan Yi." Jian Wushuang said with a trace of respect.
"I left three sword scars outside the Sword Tower and set the rules. Now that you have completely comprehended the second sword scar, from today onwards, you are one of my nominal disciples," Palace Master Xuan Yi said.
"Disciple Jian Wushuang pays his respects to Master."
Jian Wushuang immediately knelt down in front of Xuan Yi and respectfully kowtowed three times to Xuan Yi.
"Get up." Xuan Yi waved his hand.
Jian Wushuang immediately got up.
"You come with me. Everyone else, you can leave." Xuan Yi said.
Immediately, the disciples in the Sword Tower dispersed. Jian Wushuang followed Xuan Yi to the second floor of the Sword Tower.
Jian Wushuang and Xuan Yi sat face to face at a long table. Xuan Yi looked at Jian Wushuang with a gentle smile on his face.
"From the moment you began to study the three sword scars I left, I knew I would have one more disciple, but I didn't expect it to be so soon." Xuan Yi smiled faintly. "In the whole Gumen, or even the whole Firmament Territory, you have left the second sword scar behind in half a year. Perhaps only you, who has the Strongest Sword Soul, can do it."
Hearing this, Jian Wushuang's heart skipped a beat.
"Master, you know?" Jian Wushuang looked surprised.
After he came to the Eternal World, he had never exposed his Strongest Sword Soul in front of anyone. Even in the Firmament Territory Feast, when he fought with Gong Chao, he only used 80% of his Sword Soul Power. He did not use his full strength because he did not want others to know that he had the Strongest Sword Soul.
He thought that he had hidden it well.
Unexpectedly, Palace Master Xuan Yi had known that he had the Strongest Sword Soul for a long time.
"The first time I saw you, my Sword Heart throbbed a little. At that time, I knew your Sword Soul was extraordinary."
Xuan Yi smiled and began to explain. "But at that time, only my Doppelganger went to the Firmament Territory Feast, so I could not be sure that you had the Strongest Sword Soul. It was not until you came to the Gumen that my Original Body saw you that I was sure you had the Strongest Sword Soul that all Sword Principle Warriors would be jealous of!"
