Lan Xiner waited for four whole months.
On this day, the door to Ye Chen's room was finally opened.
"Gongzi Ye."
Lan Xiner welcomed Ye Chen as soon as he appeared in the living room. This time, Uncle Lin did not follow behind him.
"Miss Xiner."
Ye Chen nodded with a relaxed look on his face.
Lan Xiner observed Ye Chen's expression and saw that he seemed to be in a good mood. She thought to herself, 'Did his swordsmanship improve again? How terrifying. But this is great. Asking him for advice now should have a high chance of success!'
Lan Xiner gestured with her hand and said, "Gongzi Ye, I've already arranged a seat for you. Sit here."
"Okay."
Lan Xiner probably had a favor to ask of him, and it was most likely related to swordsmanship. Ye Chen did not reject her. Kindness must be repaid. She let him board the Blue Leaf, which was a favor, even though she had accepted a fee.
After eating and drinking, Lan Xiner looked at Ye Chen with her big blue eyes. "Gongzi Ye, I have a presumptuous request. I hope you'll agree to it."
"Say it!"
Ye Chen waited for her to continue.
"I want Gongzi Ye to teach me swordsmanship." Lan Xiner went straight to the point.
Without changing his expression, Ye Chen said, "Everyone's swordsmanship has its own style. The profoundness it contains is also different. The fusion points are also very different. I don't dare to teach you, but I can give you some pointers. Before that, let's go to the training field. Show me your swordsmanship."
"Gongzi Ye agreed?"
Lan Xiner did not expect things to go so smoothly.
"Let's go!"
Ye Chen stood up.
"Okay, okay!"
Lan Xiner quickly stood up and led the way.
...
On the training field, Lan Xiner performed the Illusion Swordsmanship and looked at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen asked, "What's the name of this swordsmanship?"
"Illusion Swordsmanship."
"Illusion Swordsmanship! Nice name. " Ye Chen continued, "Your Illusion Sword Art contains the water profound and the light profound. Using the effect of water, you can make light refract or deflect to cover up the true location of your attack. However, you've been pursuing perfection too much, and you've neglected the practicality. There are some areas that don't need to be changed. If you change too much, it will not only waste your Zhen Yuan, but also waste opportunities and reduce your lethality."
Ye Chen's eyesight was very sharp. Lan Xin 'er's Illusory Sword Art could easily make people intoxicated, as if they were in a dream. If an ordinary sword artist encountered this sword art, they wouldn't even know how they died. However, ordinary sword artists were still ordinary sword artists. It didn't mean that all sword artists would be bewitched. On the contrary, a truly powerful sword artist would easily defeat Lan Xin' er by exploiting the flaws of the sword art.
In other words, Lan Xin 'er's sword technique could only be used to bully the weak. Against the strong, she would lose very quickly.
This was a sword technique that bullied the weak and feared the strong.
"Then how do we change it?"
Lan Xiner asked.
"Very easy. You and I just need to practice for a while."
There were some things that couldn't be conveyed with words. Normally, when a master taught his disciple, there were two steps. One was to teach by example, which meant that the master would first speak, and then personally teach.
Lan Xin 'er nodded, "Be careful. Illusory Sword Art's first movement, Illusory Heart."
Lan Xiner's great sword was a light blue, top-grade great sword. Its blade was extremely thin, like a blue stream of water. When it sliced through the air, it created circles of light blue ripples. Along with the appearance of the ripples, the position of the sword refracted, making it hard to tell which angle she was going to attack from.
Ye Chen didn't use force to break the technique, since that would be meaningless. He took out the Demon Slaughtering Sword and pointed it at the center of the ripples. Splash! It was like the sound of flowing water. The ripples were completely messed up, and so was Lan Xin 'er's sword art. In the next second, Ye Chen's sword pierced through the messy ripples, and the tip of the sword was only a hair away from Lan Xin' er's forehead.
"The flaw of this move is that it isn't focused enough, and it changes too early."
"Actually, you can deal with changes by not changing. The moment you exchange blows with your opponent, you can create many changes. That way, even if your opponent discovers your flaw, he won't have time to deal with it and will instantly fall into a disadvantageous position."
Ye Chen's own sword arts usually turned complicated into simple. This was because of his high level of sword arts, but it didn't mean that Ye Chen didn't know sword arts with many changes. Any set of sword arts actually had many changes, and within the changes, there would be more changes. However, no matter how many changes there were, it was just a process, and the goal was the same: to defeat the opponent.
"Is that so?"
Lan Xin 'er's ordinary sword pierced over.
Ye Chen raised his sword to meet the attack.
Ding!
The moment the two swords clashed, Lan Xin 'er's sword art produced countless changes. Ripples spread out, enveloping Ye Chen.
"Not bad. You seem to have learned it long ago?"
Ye Chen stretched out his left hand, and two of his fingers clamped the tip of his opponent's sword.
Lan Xin 'er was shocked. Even her sister had to take the changes of this sword seriously, but Ye Chen could easily clamp it?
"My sister taught me this, but she could only modify the first move. She couldn't modify the second move, because she couldn't connect it with the rest." The Illusory Sword Art only had two moves. The first was Illusory Heart, and the second was Illusory Dream. If she performed only one move, it wouldn't be complete. This was because this Illusory Sword Art was a powerful sword art that Lan Xin 'er had obtained from a mysterious mystic realm. It was called Illusory Heart Illusory Dream. Due to the high cultivation difficulty of the Illusory Heart Illusory Dream, Lan Xin' er had separated it into two moves. Although each move only had one-tenth of the essence, at least she could perform it.
"Don't worry. Your sister couldn't modify the second move because her modification of the first move wasn't thorough enough. The moment she fought with her opponent, her sword art would produce many changes. If her opponent blocked it, she could continue to produce many changes, and she could perform it endlessly. In this way, she would have finished accumulating power."
The first move, Illusory Heart, was actually used to accumulate power for the second move, Illusory Dream. If she didn't accumulate enough power, she wouldn't be able to perform the second move. This was also why Lan Xin 'er didn't use the first move that her sister had taught her, and still used her own first move. After all, only by performing two moves in a row would she be able to display the greatest power to deal with a stronger opponent.
It was very difficult to produce so many changes in a row. However, it wasn't a problem for Ye Chen. If he used 100% of his power for the first attack, he would use 90% for the second attack, 80% for the third attack, and so on. This way, he could accumulate power and make his opponent tired.
Under Ye Chen's guidance, Lan Xin 'er finally completed the modification of the first move, Illusory Heart. She could produce the Illusory Heart three times in a row, although it wasn't perfect.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
On the martial arts field, Lan Xin 'er stabbed at Ye Chen with her sword. After it was blocked by Ye Chen, ripples spread out, and the dreamy second sword stabbed at Ye Chen's right shoulder. Ye Chen's wrist shook, and the Devil Slayer Sword easily blocked the second sword. The ripples continued to spread, and the third sword came, stabbing at the center of Ye Chen's eyebrows. Each sword was faster and more dreamy than the one before. If it was another swordsman whose strength was not as strong as Ye Chen, but who was stronger than Lan Xin' er, he would have already been defeated. In such a short period of time, it wasn't important whether he could see the flaw or not.
"Illusory Dream!"
The third sword was blocked. The light blue sword in Lan Xin 'er's hand drew a circle. As this circle formed, the light blue ripples that had yet to dissipate silently collapsed, turning into a misty blue rain that completely enveloped Ye Chen. This misty rain was dreamy and illusory. Even if he closed his eyes, he could feel the beauty that didn't exist in this world. It was as if this blue misty rain not only enveloped his body, but also his soul.
However, who knew that hidden behind the blue misty rain was a fatal blue sword light. It blended into the misty rain and quietly approached.
Chi!
The blue misty rain separated, and the sword light collapsed. At the same time, another extremely sharp sword light burst forth, heading straight for Lan Xin 'er's face.
Ah!
Lan Xin 'er was so scared that she took three steps back.
Ye Chen smiled, put away the Devil Slayer Sword, and said, "The first move is almost done. However, to perfect it is not something that can be done in a day. It requires time and effort. Now, let's start with the second move … hmm?"
Ye Chen suddenly felt the Blue Leaf pause for a moment.
"We've arrived at Firebird Planet." Lan Xin 'er closed her eyes. When she opened them, she was a little annoyed.
"We've arrived so quickly?"
Ye Chen was a little surprised. He and Lan Xin 'er had only stayed in the martial arts field for a dozen days. Adding the three months and four months before that, they had only been there for a total of eight months. When the Blue Leaf began to travel through space, it was 600,000 lightyears away from Firebird Planet.
Lan Xin 'er explained, "The speed of a Heavenly Monarch Warship is three times that of a King Warship. In eight months, it is exactly 600,000 lightyears."
"So that's how it is. May I know the price of a King Warship and a Heavenly Monarch Warship?"
If he had enough source stones, Ye Chen wanted to buy a Heavenly Monarch Warship.
Lan Xin 'er said, "Warships are divided into different sizes. From small to large, they are small warships, medium warships, and large warships. A small King Warship costs about 3,000 to 5,000 source stones. A medium King Warship costs 10,000 to 15,000 source stones. A large King Warship costs 30,000 to 50,000 source stones. As for a Heavenly Monarch Warship, the price is about 50 times that of a King Warship. For example, a small Heavenly Monarch Warship costs 150,000 to 200,000 source stones. A medium King Warship costs 500,000 to 700,000 source stones. A large King Warship costs 1.5 million to 2 million source stones."
"So expensive!"
Ye Chen was a little shocked. He naturally knew the value of source stones. It was not an exaggeration to say that one source stone was equivalent to tens of thousands of top quality spirit stones. In this way, a small King Warship would cost more than 100 million top quality spirit stones. A small Heavenly Monarch Warship would cost more than 5 billion top quality spirit stones. It was an astronomical figure.
Moreover, this Blue Leaf was a medium Heavenly Monarch Warship, and its price was much higher than a small Heavenly Monarch Warship, costing more than 15 billion top quality spirit stones.
"That's natural. Above Heavenly Monarch Warship is the Emperor Warship. The cheapest small Emperor Warship costs more than 30 million source stones. The defensive cover of an Emperor Warship can withstand continuous attacks from a sixth layer Heavenly Monarch. A peak Emperor Warship can even withstand continuous attacks from a seventh layer Life and Death King."
