Her speed really did increase. Although she couldn't tell exactly how much faster, it had increased by at least ten percent.
Don't underestimate ten percent. When one's speed reached its limit, it was extremely difficult to increase it by even one percent, let alone ten percent.
Sometimes, a one-thousandth increase in speed could allow two opponents of similar strength to easily suppress the other.
Moreover, it was only ten percent.
Nicole could feel it herself. Her speed had increased by ten percent, and her overall combat power had increased by at least a third.
This was definitely a huge increase. Her realm hadn't increased, but her combat power had increased by a large margin. If word got out, how shocking would that be?
Most importantly, this was just a few casual pointers from someone else, who wasn't even her teacher.
She was stunned. Looking at Wang Xing, her entire being was filled with admiration.
Could it really be so magical?
No wonder Yin Haojun said that Sendai Gakuin was a magical place. Otherwise, how could even a sweeper have such good eyesight?
This really was a holy land for cultivation. Unfortunately, she wasn't a student of the academy.
"What's wrong? Are you surprised?"
Wang Xing smiled. "Actually, this is nothing. You already have this kind of power. It's just that you haven't been able to develop it."
Nicole nodded. She felt that Wang Xing was right.
Wasn't this just her own strength? Her cultivation didn't increase. This was just her own potential being unearthed.
"Senior, what's next?"
Nicole looked at Wang Xing longingly. She wanted to improve even more.
She had finally met someone who could give her pointers, and the effects were so good. Regardless of whether he was a sweeper or not, she couldn't let him go.
"Okay, I'll continue to talk to you." Wang Xing put down the broom. "After you've grasped the most suitable way to wield the blade, you'll have to develop a habit. Yes, a habit. No matter when, what kind of enemy you're facing, and where you are, you'll be able to wield the blade like that. This is easy to say, but not easy to do. This is because it requires a lot of practice to develop this habit. In the end, this way of wielding the blade will be engraved into your body, memory, and even your soul, making it a part of you. "
Nicole tried it out. Sure enough, if she didn't concentrate fully, it would be very difficult for her to wield the blade like that again.
Sometimes, he would only succeed once in a hundred attempts.
Sometimes, if one couldn't calm down, they wouldn't be able to succeed even once.
Habits were important.
With this thought in mind, she looked at Wang Xing with even more admiration. It seemed like a simple principle, but it contained great wisdom.
"After you get used to it, it's the method of exerting force."
Wang Xing continued, "You've grasped the best way to swing your saber. Every time you cut something, you'll be able to cut it accurately and quickly, but your strength hasn't increased."
Nicole was startled. She shook her head and said, "It's very difficult for me to improve my cultivation in a short period of time. How can I increase my strength?"
Hearing this, Wang Xing laughed.
"If my cultivation doesn't increase, my strength won't increase? Who told you that? "
"I …"
Nicole thought about it carefully. It seemed that no one had told her about it before. It was just her own assumption.
This was common sense.
"How about this? I'll give you a very common example. Sometimes, when a person was on the verge of death, he could unleash an attack that far exceeded his cultivation level and successfully kill his opponent. At that time, do you think that person's cultivation level would increase? I don't think so. But why would his strength increase by so much? Isn't this a power that's contained within his body? "
Nicole was completely dumbfounded. She was completely speechless.
She had experienced countless battles. She knew too many examples like this. Sometimes, it wasn't just humans. Even those Flying Serpents would be able to unleash power that far exceeded their own when they were on the verge of death.
"What's going on?"
"To put it simply, when a person is on the verge of death, their spiritual will, physical strength, divine power, blood, and everything will fuse together with their weapon. Of course, it's not just their weapon. They will fuse together and form a rope. Naturally, their strength will increase by a lot. You can think of it this way. There are countless types of power within a person's body. When you unleash an attack, some of these powers might be in a dormant state. Some might not be of help to you at all, and might even hinder you. In the end, how much power will you be able to unleash? "
Nicole thought about it carefully. It really did make sense.
However, she still didn't quite understand. Thus, she asked, "Senior, when you say that some powers are in a dormant state, I can understand. But when you say that they're hindering me, that's impossible, right?"
"Impossible?" Wang Xing laughed. "It's very possible. Among the powers that are hindering you the most is the power of the spirit. Let me give you another example. When you're facing an enemy that you can't reach, like me, and if I'm the Headmaster of the Academy, and I ask you to draw your sword against me, even if you dare, how much of your strength will you be able to unleash? "
Nicole's expression changed slightly. She had brought herself into that situation.
If the person in front of her was the Headmaster of Sendai Gakuin, she definitely wouldn't be a match for him. He might be able to reduce her to ashes with a single finger.
If she knew that she was no match for him, would she dare to draw her sword? And even if she did, how much of her strength would she be able to unleash? Why was this? It was because she had fear in her heart. She was afraid. Wasn't the power of her heart dragging her down?
"Senior, I understand now."
At this moment, Nicole bowed respectfully to Wang Xing. She had learned a lot from his words. "You're telling me that no matter who or what kind of enemy we're facing, we cultivators should charge forward without fear. Every slash should be like our final struggle."
Wang Xing nodded in satisfaction. He looked like a child who could be taught.
"Senior, please continue."
"If I continue, it'll be a little too deep." Wang Xing thought for a moment. "When a person completely grasps all the strength in their body and abandons the complicated methods of drawing their sword, leaving only the simplest move, the most suitable move for them. If they continue to practice this move, they'll be considered to have reached the entry level of the Sword Dao."
Entry level?
Nicole was dumbfounded. After doing so much, this was only considered entry level?
She thought that it was enough for her to master the Sword Dao.
"Forget it. Don't bite off more than you can chew. You'll have to reach the entry level first. When the time comes, I'll tell you how to cultivate from here on out." Wang Xing waved his hand. It was obvious that he didn't want to continue.
"Senior, what you said makes sense." Nicole thought about it. She knew that she was still a long way from reaching the entry level. Indeed, she shouldn't bite off more than she could chew. "Senior, can I ask you for advice in the future?"
"Well, it's not impossible. However, I'm just a sweeper. You've seen it for yourself. "
"No. Although you're a sweeper, your understanding of the Sword Dao is several times better than mine. So, I have a presumptuous request. I'd like to be your disciple. "
"Be my disciple?" Wang Xing was stunned. He smiled and said, "I'm a sweeper. Look carefully."
"I know. I don't mind." Nicole thought for a moment and was very sincere.
"Interesting. There's actually someone who's willing to be an academy sweeper's disciple. Alright, I'll accept you as my disciple. However, I still have some self-awareness. I'll just accept you as an in-name disciple. "Wang Xing thought for a moment. He seemed to be in a good mood.
In-name disciple?
Nicole still didn't know the difference between an in-name disciple and a disciple. She immediately bowed to Wang Xing.
"I actually have a disciple."
Wang Xing murmured. He couldn't help but smile.
Very interesting.
Disciple? In-name disciple?
Hmm, not bad.
