Ferdinand knew that Fang Xingjian was very talented. If he was not talented, how could he have transitioned into a Windstorm Sword Hero? How could he have transcended sound at the age of sixteen?
However, he had never thought that Fang Xingjian would be able to give him pointers on spear arts.
However, the scene before his eyes had shattered his common sense. The force that Fang Xingjian had struck onto his body was not only extremely accurate, but had also flowed through his vital energy, blood, and tendons, without causing any damage to his body in the slightest.
What was even more terrifying was that this force was exactly the force that he had wanted to unleash with his earlier spear technique. Not only was it powerful, it was even more perfect, and the control over his vital energy and blood was even more suitable for his body. It was as if he had practiced this move for tens of years, and could be used as a standard by Ferdinand. Even he himself could not perform it.
He looked at Fang Xingjian in astonishment and asked, "You've practiced this Hundred Blossoms Spear Technique before?"
"I've never practiced spear arts before." Fang Xingjian's longsword pierced out lightly, and accompanied by a terrifying whistling sound, it was as if a huge dragon had pounced out, causing the air before him to explode, releasing a crisp sound like that of a bomb.
Feeling the compressed air blowing on his face, Ferdinand was even more astonished. He pointed at Fang Xingjian's longsword and said, "This … This is the move from earlier?" However, he had after all practiced spear arts for over twenty years, and could immediately sense the minute differences.
"There are minute differences between swords and spears. The distance of the attack, the weight of the weapon, and the differences in the moves. However, just from that thrust earlier, there are many similarities." Fang Xingjian said, "The reason why I used my longsword to perform the spear technique from earlier was because I understood the force in that move. Knowing how to circulate the force makes things much easier."
"Knowing how to circulate the force makes things much easier?" Ferdinand looked at Fang Xingjian with a different gaze than before. It was because he recalled what his grandfather had once told him.
"Ferdinand, there's a type of genius in this world. No matter what martial technique is in their hands, they'll be able to master it the moment they learn it, and master it the moment they use it. It's because they've grasped the circulation of the human body's force. Therefore, all Nurturing techniques and Training techniques are no secrets to them, and they can even modify their moves according to the human body, displaying martial techniques that are most suitable for them. They have already reached the point where they have reached the same level of strength and are proficient in everything they learn. Once you meet such a genius, you must absolutely not become his enemy. If you have already become his enemy, then immediately run away and never go back. "
Ferdinand looked at Fang Xingjian, already treating him as a super genius who had the same level of force as him. He said respectfully, "It's been hard on you to guide me like this."
Fang Xingjian did not mind the change in his attitude, because with his strength and talent, it was natural for him to be respected.
This was especially so after he had obtained the Unparalleled Sword Intent. Ordinary physical moves were no longer secrets to him, and he could find the similarities between sword techniques. No matter what kind of move or technique it was, he would be able to see its flaws with just one look, and would be able to execute it with just a few exchanges.
Of course, this was not because he had really learned the technique, but because he could imitate the same force movements he had seen in sword techniques.
Just like the jab of a fist, the thrust of a longsword, or the thrust of a longspear, they were all the same. Or the slash of a blade, the slash of a sword, or even the hack of a staff, they were all similar in terms of force exertion.
Fang Xingjian's sword arts, because of the Unparalleled Sword Intent and his talent in the world's number one sword arts, had already reached the same level of force. Therefore, he was able to imitate other blade techniques, staff techniques, and even palm techniques and fist techniques, and execute the same force exertion.
Even if he were to learn other types of martial techniques now, he would be able to pick them up very quickly. However, this would be equivalent to starting all over again, and there was clearly no need for this.
Moreover, because his Nurturing and Training techniques covered almost every inch of his flesh and blood, even if he were to learn other types of martial techniques, it would only be a waste of time.
However, if he were to use such means to guide others, it would be too terrifying.
Therefore, for the next hour, Ferdinand continued to perform various spear techniques — Nurturing, Training, and even Killing techniques — to attack Fang Xingjian. Each time, they would be easily countered by Fang Xingjian. Fang Xingjian then pointed out the flaws in his martial techniques, and in the end, he would send a force through his body, allowing him to slowly digest the meaning behind it.
"So that's how it is, so that's how it is. I've always thought that my Hundred Blossoms Spear Technique has already reached perfection, but I don't know why I'm still unable to reach level 10 after so long. It's because I'm lacking that little bit of energy from the beating of the atrium. However, the atrium is inside the human body, and is extremely fragile and delicate. If one were to circulate energy here, the slightest carelessness would result in internal injuries, or even death. "Only you, Xingjian, who has reached the realm of Interlinked Forces, would be able to grasp the circulation of my body so easily, and even be able to demonstrate the power to the standard."
Ferdinand looked at Fang Xingjian in astonishment, his gaze filled with a sense of exhilaration. Under Fang Xingjian's guidance, he was able to find the most accurate circulation of force in an instant. To a martial artist, this was an extremely satisfying experience.
It was just like a high school student doing physics questions, with someone explaining to him the correct solution process as he did so. There was no need for him to think about it in detail by himself.
Hearing Ferdinand's words, Fang Xingjian nodded and said, "When practicing martial techniques, both Nurturing and Training techniques have to pay great attention to the standard of the movements, as well as the correct circulation of the muscles, vital energy, and blood. "Only by doing so will one be able to increase the maximum potential, gain the most experience points, and achieve the best training results. "Otherwise, not only will it be twice the effort, it will also cause harm to the body."
Ferdinand nodded in agreement, "It's the same for Killing techniques. Regardless of whether it's sword arts or spear arts, in the end, one still needs to perform the most basic moves such as thrusting, flicking, pointing, and parrying. "Even when Knights are fighting each other, once they enter into close combat, other than the extraordinary power of Killing techniques, the physical strength of the Killing techniques is also very important. If one is able to perfectly control one's force while practicing the Nurturing techniques into one's Killing techniques, one would be terrifying in close combat."
When he said the word 'terrifying', Ferdinand took a long look at Fang Xingjian, thinking that the current Fang Xingjian was truly terrifying.
Early the next morning, Ferdinand brought Carter, who was also cultivating spear arts like him, along with three other Knights from other classes. All of them were seniors from the same academy as him.
Ferdinand called out to Fang Xingjian, "Xingjian, see if you can spar with our three seniors and give them some guidance."
The corners of Fang Xingjian's lips curled up slightly as he said calmly, "Each of you just have to provide me with a sword arts manual that the academy doesn't have."
Although these Knights practiced spear arts, with their status and influence, it would not be difficult for them to find a sword arts manual that the academy didn't have.
Moreover, they had already heard of Ferdinand's request and had brought it here today.
After keeping the manual, Fang Xingjian walked out slowly, took Lilia's longsword, and said to the three of them, "All of you can attack together."
The three of them knew how strong Fang Xingjian was. How could he not be strong when he had challenged six Prefectural Champions in a row? However, they still had some doubts about what Ferdinand had said about Fang Xingjian being able to give pointers to other people's saber, spear, staff, and rod techniques after he had reached the same level as Force.
'Even if you, Fang Xingjian, have great talent and unparalleled speed. But to be able to reach the level of being proficient in other types of martial arts … what kind of realm would that be? Could someone who had only practiced the sword for less than a year achieve that? They strongly doubted this.
Hearing Fang Xingjian's words, they exchanged a glance and nodded secretly.
"Then I'll be counting on you to give me some pointers."
The next moment, three beams of cold light lit up, like three flood dragons overturning the seas and rivers, tearing through the atmosphere, bringing with them the smell of burnt metal. With the prowess of meteorites descending from the sky, they pierced toward Fang Xingjian.
