"Yes, because of you." Chi Ban Nakayama looked at Xiao Bing and asked, "Have you ever used a sword?"
"Well …" Xiao Bing hesitated for a second and said, "I haven't."
"Hmm."
Chi Ban Nakayama said, "The reason why spiritual tools are called spiritual tools is that, compared with treasured tools, they have already developed a spiritual connection with their owners. Therefore, when a spiritual tool is newly created, there must be a person who can develop a spiritual connection with the spiritual tool. I am going to forge one for you, but I have never seen you use a sword before, so I don't know how to start. After studying for so long, I finally understand this. Sigh, people say that I am a master of forging tools, but in fact, I still need to slowly explore the way to forge spiritual tools."
Xiao Bing was enlightened and said, "I see. You mean, I have to show you how I use a sword, right?"
"Yes." Chi Ban Nakayama said, "Don't you have eight swords? Why don't you show me one of them? Some people have a strong and fierce way of using a sword, while others have a flexible way of using a sword. Everyone has a different feeling towards a sword, and the feeling of using a sword is also different. I have to know your way of using a sword, so that I can forge a spiritual tool that truly belongs to you."
"Okay, I can do it anytime. I will show you now."
Xiao Bing's body had completely recovered now, and he couldn't wait to move his hands and feet. Xiao Bing went back to his room, took out a spiritual sword and walked out. Standing in the middle of the yard, all the people in the Xiao Mansion knew that Xiao Bing was going to perform a sword dance, so they all gathered around and started to watch.
Chi Ban Nakayama stood at the door of the forging room, looking at Xiao Bing. Xiao Bing cupped his hands and said, "Old Mr. Chi Ban, I will show you my incompetence!"
Xiao Bing held the spiritual sword and said in a low voice, "Spiritual swords, since I brought you back, I haven't used you even once. Today, I will let you dance with me!"
The spiritual sword made a sound, and then Xiao Bing began to wave it in his hand. Everyone was shocked to see that the whole yard was filled with Sword Qi, and the long sword surrounded Xiao Bing like a skynet. The power of the spiritual sword was great, but Xiao Bing could control it well. He could restrain the Sword Qi without hurting people. This skill had reached the state of being able to restrain and release it at will.
Many people were cheering. Red Rose said, "I've never seen Xiao Bing use a sword. I didn't expect his swordsmanship to be so good and exquisite!"
Chi Ban Nakayama was watching as well, without taking his eyes off Ji Hao, without saying a word.
After Xiao Bing put the sword back into the sheath, a series of cheers came from all directions. Xiao Bing happily looked at Chi Ban Nakayama, waiting for his praise.
Unexpectedly, Chi Ban Nakayama shook his head, turned around and walked into the tool-crafting room. Xiao Bing followed him in confusion. The others didn't know what was going on, so they left one after another.
Xiao Bing followed Chi Ban Nakayama into the tool-crafting room and asked, "What's wrong, Mr. Chi Ban? Is my swordsmanship not good enough?"
"No, you've never used a sword before, but the swordsmanship you showed just now was very exquisite. Even a powerful swordsman might not be able to use a spiritual sword so easily."
Xiao Bing asked curiously, "But I think you …"
Chi Ban Nakayama said, "I shook my head not because your swordsmanship is not exquisite enough, but because you're not a swordsman. No matter how good your swordsmanship is, it's useless if you're not a swordsman."
Xiao Bing asked curiously, "If I use a sword, am I not a swordsman?"
Chi Ban Nakayama sighed and said, "A swordsman who uses a sword is not necessarily a swordsman, and a swordsman who doesn't use a sword is not necessarily not a swordsman. This is the mystery of being a swordsman. A swordsman can hold no sword in his hand, but have a sword in his heart, this is a state of being a swordsman. A swordsman can hold no sword in his hand, but have a sword in his heart, this is also a state of being a swordsman. A swordsman can hold a sword in his hand, but also have a sword in his heart."
Xiao Bing listened and nodded. At this moment, Chi Ban Nakayama looked at Xiao Bing with a slightly regretful look and said, "But you're different. Although my martial arts are not as good as yours, I know too much about the compatibility between a person and his weapon. You can hold a sword in your hand, but not have a sword in your heart. This is not because of your swordsmanship, it's because you're not a swordsman. Even if you hold a sword in your hand, it will only be a weapon to you, and will never become your soul, understand? "
Xiao Bing knitted his eyebrows and pondered carefully. At last, he nodded and said with a sigh, "I understand. You're right. The sword is indeed not my soul."
At this moment, the long sword in Xiao Bing's hand let out a sad buzzing sound again. Xiao Bing couldn't help but look at the sword in his hand, gave a bitter smile and said, "I'm sorry, I failed you."
"You're not to blame. You're not a swordsman, this can't be changed. But it doesn't mean that you don't put your heart into your sword."
Xiao Bing sighed and said, "But ever since I got them in the Heaven Mountain, I've made up my mind to treat them well."
"I know." Chi Ban Nakayama looked at Xiao Bing and said, "You're a good person, even to the spirit swords. But there are some things that can't be forced. For example, if you don't love a person, but just like that young girl, plus she loves you very much, if you insist on accepting her, even if you reluctantly accept her, there won't be a tacit understanding between the two of you, and it'll be very difficult for the two of you to collide with each other."
"This is actually the same. You have these ten spirit swords, and you think that you can't bury them. Since you have them, you should be responsible for them. But I believe that you can treat them well, but it'll be very difficult for them to really collide with each other. This is actually the biggest waste for them. And for you, forcibly carrying some weapons that can't really reach 100% compatibility with each other, although it can also improve your fighting capacity, it can't make the most of its power. Instead, it will bury their true value."
Xiao Bing frowned and asked, "Then what should I do?"
Chi Ban Nakayama said in a calm tone, "If it's my advice, it's to give them to their real owners."
The long sword in Xiao Bing's hand let out a few buzzing sounds of protest. Xiao Bing frowned and said, "Give them to someone else?"
"Yes." Said Chi Ban Nakayama, "To everyone, a spirit sword is a supreme weapon, because spirit swords have already gained intelligence. With your power and the help of your spirit sword, your fighting power will definitely improve largely. But, do you really feel good about it?"
Xiao Bing thought for a while. Just now, when he was practicing with the sword, Xiao Bing indeed didn't feel good about it. He couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Chi Ban Nakayama said, "Give the spirit sword to someone else, this is unimaginable to anyone. No one would make such a decision. To be honest, if it were me, I would never do it either … Now, I am just a bystander, that's why I can say this so simply. So, it's all on you."
Xiao Bing nodded and said, "I understand. Old Mr. Chi Ban, you should take a good rest in the next couple of days. It's not too late to forge those two swords. I'll take them back first."
"Okay." Chi Ban Nakayama agreed. He watched Xiao Bing leave the crafting room, sighed and murmured to himself, "Although what I said just now was from my heart, I'm afraid that no one in the world can accept it. Giving the spirit sword to someone else … Eh, can I do it myself? How could I say that? "
Xiao Bing took the spirit sword back to his room, held it in his hand, and gently stroked it with the other hand. The long sword let out a buzzing sound, as if it was saying something to Xiao Bing. Xiao Bing smiled and said, "I know what you mean. You don't want to leave. Don't worry, since I brought you back from the Sky Mountain, I will be responsible for you. I won't let you die in the future. At least, I will let you show your true value, and let you find true happiness."
Xiao Bing smiled and hung the spirit sword back on the bed. At the same time, he kept recalling what Chi Ban Nakayama had said in his mind. Xiao Bing thought to himself, "Yes, I'm not a real swordsman!"
Xiao Bing decided to put the matter of the spirit sword aside for the time being. He decided to solve this matter later. Now that his strength had been fully restored, if it weren't for the bet between Gao Fei and Tokugawa Benxi, Xiao Bing would have gone to Tokugawa Benxi immediately to teach this old man a lesson and let him know his limits. Xiao Bing always felt like a tiger being bullied by a dog when he fell to the plains.
But now was not the time. Gao Fei and Tokugawa Benxi still had to fight after all. This time, Xiao Bing did not intend to help him secretly. In the last battle between Tokugawa Benxi and Gao Fei, Xiao Bing could tell that Gao Fei was only a step away from breaking through to the half-step Heavenly Master Realm, and now it was estimated that Gao Fei had already broken through.
While Xiao Bing was thinking, Maggie suddenly shouted, "Brother Bing, Brother Fei is back!"
Damn it! Speak of the devil and he will appear!
Xiao Bing immediately got out of bed and rushed out of the room happily. Then he came to the living room and saw Gao Fei sitting and greeting everyone one by one. Although he was a cold person, he was still very kind to these people in the Xiao Mansion. He did not put on any airs, and he also had some feelings of a normal person.
Seeing Xiao Bing come out, Gao Fei's eyes fell on Xiao Bing and he said with emotion, "Boss, your strength is really fast. I'm really not as good as you!"
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "You're too polite. In fact, your real combat power is stronger than the realm on the surface."
Gao Fei shook his head and said, "But I can't cross realms to defeat an Empyrean powerhouse at the half-step Empyrean Realm. But I believe that I will catch up with you sooner or later. Boss, next time I fight with Tokugawa Benxi, I hope you won't help me secretly. "
Maggie's eyes widened and she asked, "Did Brother Bing help you that time? Brother Bing is so handsome! "
Xiao Bing said with a wry smile, "Don't listen to your Brother Fei's nonsense. When did I help you?"
Gao Fei didn't argue, but said, "I want to have another match with the boss!"
