"Yeah, this guy's wood mentality is not bad. It has a thorny feeling to it!"
"Eh? Whip? That's right. The wood mentality can represent many things, such as big trees and thorns. It can also represent vines. Vines are very soft, and with a whip, it would have a huge destructive power."
"The thickness of wood is not the same as the thickness of soil. It is more holistic."
There were around four hundred people participating in the tea gathering, and more than forty of them had mastered the wood mentality. Although all of them had mastered the wood mentality and had already reached the limit, the wood mentality of each one of them was different and not the same.
While they were sparring, Ye Chen would carefully observe the wood mentality contained in their martial arts, gradually perfecting his own, preparing for the ninth movement of the Green Lotus Sword Arts.
No matter how powerful Ye Chen's sword intent was, the lack of killing moves would always be a problem. Therefore, he had to learn the ninth movement of the Green Lotus Sword Arts. With this move, he would have three killing moves, which would be more or less enough for him at the moment.
As he observed more and more, he learned more and more. Ye Chen suddenly reached out his right hand, using his fingers as a sword to practice.
Shoo!
Shoo!
Shoo!
Without using Zhen yuan or sword intent, Ye Chen was just practicing calmly, as if he was drawing a pattern in the air. However, after dozens of fingers, a change occurred. Wherever Ye Chen's fingers passed, the air seemed to be sliced by an extremely sharp sword, making a swishing sound. Later on, an extremely faint finger light appeared on his fingertip. This finger light had nothing to do with anything else; it seemed to be the sharpness of Ye Chen's body. The sharpness of his fingers was condensed from the sharpness Qi.
"What is going on?"
Tuo Baku and Mu Lingfeng looked at Ye Chen with shock.
They were sure that Ye Chen did not use his Zhen yuan or sword intent, but where did that finger light come from? It was so sharp, indescribably sharp, as if its very nature was sharp.
His palm lightly patted the table, and the small teacup jumped up. Tuo Baku flicked the cup with his finger, and it shot out without a sound, passing by Ye Chen.
Coincidentally, Ye Chen's finger tapped on the teacup.
Time seemed to freeze for a moment. An extremely thin and sharp gust of wind shot out from the back of the teacup, leaving a small hole in the pavilion pillar.
On the other hand, the teacup was not damaged at all, and the tea inside did not spill out.
Grabbing the teacup with his left hand, Ye Chen took a sniff. It smelled nice, so he handed it over to Tuo Baku.
Tuo Baku caught the teacup and hurried to check it, then again. Eventually, he lifted up his head and said with confusion, "No holes?"
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Of course there are no holes."
"The holes on the pillars of the pavilion?"
"That hole was caused by my inability to control my sword intent."
"Strange!"
Tuo Baku still could not figure it out. If it was made by the sword intent, then it would not be possible for it to reach the pillar through the teacup. But if it was not made by the sword intent, then the hole on the pillar would not have formed in the first place. Both of them were impossible, so which one was more possible?
"The edge of the sword … It turns out that I am still missing the gold mentality!"
By observing other people's wood mentality, Ye Chen's understanding of the wood mentality was quite deep. He had already seen the beginning of the ninth movement of the Green Lotus Sword Art. Therefore, he became interested and started to practice it with his fingers instead of his sword. As he trained, he forgot about the wood mentality and the ninth movement of the Green Lotus Sword Art. He sank into that kind of understanding of the sword. Since he had always been using the sword to fight against his enemies, and the sword was made of metal, it was naturally sharp. Therefore, his sword arts had always been sharp as well. But without the sword, he realized that he still lacked the sharpness, the edge of the sword.
Until then, he finally understood how sad it would be for a sword artist to not learn the gold mentality, since no matter how good the other mentalities were, they would not be as sharp as the gold mentality.
The gold mentality was like the bridge between the sword artist and the sword. With this bridge, the sword artist would be able to push their edge to the extreme and show the power of a sword artist. On the other hand, without this bridge, the sword artist would always be separated from the sword, and would not be able to burst out the extreme attacking power.
"Although I have only understood it now, it is not too late!"
Ye Chen let out a breath as his eyes landed on the small hole in the middle of the pillar.
The hole was indeed created by the sword intent, but it was attached to the sharp Qi. The sharp Qi was formless and intangible, and the sword intent itself was also formless and intangible. Once it reached a certain level, it would be able to affect reality, which was why it had become formless and tangible. The two did not combine before going through the teacup, which was why the teacup did not shatter. After going through the teacup, the sharp Qi and the sword intent combined and immediately left a small hole on the pillar.
This finger attack contained all of Ye Chen's sharpness.
But it was still far from enough.
"The ninth movement of the Green Lotus Sword Art is already showing signs. Next, I need to learn the gold mentality. I almost know where I should go in the future."
The famous sword artists all had their own paths, which were their own sword arts. For a long time, Ye Chen's sword arts had not been very clear, and he only knew how to walk on it. But now, he had found his own sword arts. It might be full of thorns, but once it was completed, he would be the number one on it. He would be able to compete with the ancient sword kings, and it would also allow him to step on the higher path of the sword emperor.
Sword emperor!
What was the sword emperor?
The king of the sword, the number one in all of history.
No matter how powerful the ancient sword king was, he was only a sword king, not a sword emperor. The reason why he could not be called emperor was because he could not compete with the other emperors of the same generation, and was forced to call himself a king. Although there was no limit to one emperor, it was still extremely hard to become the sword emperor. Ye Chen had already prepared for anything.
Clenching his fists slightly, Ye Chen could feel his blood boiling.
Boom!
The qi waves on the stage shot up into the sky, shaking the entire pavilion slightly.
Ye Chen looked over and realized that it was Sikong Sheng who had entered the arena.
His opponent was very powerful. He was the number one young warrior in the Fire Swamp Region, and his power was not weaker than the number three warrior in the Thunder Region, Yin Zongli.
The two exchanged dozens of attacks. The sky-high qi waves had nowhere to go, and they kept shooting up into the sky.
"Lose!"
His opponent performed a profound sense martial art, attacking toward Sikong Sheng heavily.
Sikong Sheng was not scared at all, and he also used his profound sense martial art to fight back.
Boom!
A mottled light ball exploded, and Sikong Sheng backed out quickly without being wounded at all. However, his opponent did not know what had happened to him, but his body was frozen right there as he took the attack head on, puking out a mouthful of blood.
"Eh? Sikong Sheng's profound sense martial art is a bit strange."
Ye Chen had seen through it immediately. It was not that the number one young warrior in the Fire Swamp Region did not want to back out, but he could not. That fist attack from Sikong Sheng seemed to have some kind of connection with the ground, using the endless gravity to freeze his opponent, forcing him to not be able to lift his feet for a second, forcing him to take the attack head on.
