"Young Master, what is the most powerful sword technique here?" Chu Dazhi asked curiously.
Chu Li said, "The Sword of Understanding."
"Sword of Understanding …" Chu Dazhi thought for a moment before shaking his head. He had never heard of it before.
He looked at Zhou Hange.
Zhou Hange shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Chu Li said, "The Sword of Understanding … This one."
He took out a secret book and handed it to the two of them.
The two of them looked at the cover. The words "Sword of Understanding" were written neatly. It did not look like a sword manual, and there was no murderous intent on it.
However, this secret manual was exceptionally thick. It should be the thickest secret manual on this shelf. It did not look like a sword.
"Is this one sword?" Chu Dazhi laughed. "I think it's more than a hundred swords."
Usually, sword manuals were one page per move. How many moves were there in a sword technique could be roughly guessed by looking at the thickness of the sword manual. Whether it was complicated or simple, one could tell with a glance at the thickness of the sword manual.
This Sword of Understanding was definitely from another sect's sword manual.
When the disciples of the Crouching Bull Mountain read the secret manuals of other sects, they only flipped through them with the intention of referencing them. They would not really put in the effort to cultivate them, as the gains would not make up for the losses.
If he had the time, he might as well practice the Crouching Bull Mountain's magnum opus. His cultivation would be smooth and powerful.
Even if they tried to cultivate the foreign sect's secret manuals, they would usually cultivate the simpler ones. Simple yet powerful, that was their goal.
Hearing the name of the Sword of Understanding, it was likely that many disciples would go and cultivate it.
However, after seeing the thickness of this sword manual, it was likely that no one would really want to practice it. They could not afford to waste their time, as it was enough for them to practice two of the Crouching Bull Mountain's antique studies.
"Is this a sword?" Zhou Hange asked curiously, "So thick?"
Chu Li said, "There are one hundred and eight styles, and you'll have to combine them into one. Only then can you be considered to have mastered it."
"Oh my, this is too difficult." Chu Dazhi shook his head. "One hundred and eight swords. No one will practice this kind of sword technique."
"Young Master, is this sword technique really that powerful?" Zhou Hange asked curiously.
Chu Li nodded. "It's better than the Crouching Bull Mountain's sword technique."
"Then let's try it out." Zhou Hange smiled.
Chu Dazhi said, "Is he that powerful? “
Chu Li nodded. "As long as I can master it, its power will definitely surpass the sword technique of Crouching Bull Mountain."
"Haha, then let's practice," Chu Dazhi said excitedly.
He could imagine that after he mastered it, he would surpass his peers and receive the admiration of his peers.
Zhou Hange flipped through it and frowned.
Chu Dazhi snatched it over and said, "Let me see."
Zhou Hange glared at him and turned to look at Chu Li. "Young Master, this sword technique is too complicated!"
Chu Li nodded. "Start with the most complicated parts and cultivate to the most simple."
"Sigh …" Zhou Hange sighed. "I'm afraid I can't learn it."
Chu Dazhi's brows furrowed even tighter.
Chu Li glanced at the two of them and smiled. "This sword technique isn't meant to be practiced by just anyone. Both of you take a look at it twice. If you can remember the sword form, you can practice it. If you can't, then forget it."
One hundred and eight forms did not sound like much, but each form was extremely complicated. It could be evolved into three hundred and twenty-four forms, or six hundred and forty-eight forms. Then, it could be slowly compressed. Two forms into one form, four forms into one form, and finally, the final form.
This sword technique wanted to include all the sword forms in the world within it. It was ambitious.
However, this sword technique was only suitable for people with photographic memory. Without photographic memory, it would be a waste of time and effort. It would be difficult to memorize so many sword forms, let alone using them against an enemy.
Chu Dazhi flipped through it twice and tried his best to memorize it.
After flipping through it once, he vaguely remembered more than ten forms. However, after flipping through it the second time, there were only about ten forms left. His mind was in a mess.
He passed the secret manual to Zhou Hange. "Brother Zhou, take a look."
He rubbed his forehead and shook it hard. His eyes were still in a daze.
Chu Li shook his head. This sword technique was not suitable for him.
After flipping through it twice, Zhou Hange was also in a daze. He only remembered ten forms. He had no choice but to return the secret manual to Chu Li. He said helplessly, "No wonder no one cultivated it. It's impossible!"
Chu Li said, "Let's go eat."
Chu Dazhi said, "Young Master, have you memorized it?"
Chu Li nodded. "Yes, most likely."
"You can really remember it?" Chu Dazhi widened his eyes in disbelief.
His face was like a pancake, and his eyes were small. When he widened his eyes, it looked extremely comical.
Chu Li said calmly, "Why would I lie to you?"
"This is too shocking." Chu Dazhi shook his head. "I don't believe it."
"It's up to you whether you believe it or not," Chu Li said.
Zhou Hange laughed. "It's hard to believe, but since Young Master said it, it must be true. Brother Chu, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Chu Dazhi said, "I don't believe it. How can anyone memorize it so quickly?"
Chu Li glared at him. "Frog in a well."
"Young Master, if you really memorize it, I'll listen to you in the future," Chu Dazhi said.
Chu Li said indifferently, "If I can't memorize it, you won't listen to me?"
Chu Dazhi grinned.
Zhou Hange said, "Young Master, don't listen to his nonsense."
Chu Dazhi scoffed. "I'm not talking nonsense!"
Chu Li nodded. "If that's the case, then practice it once."
"Really?" Chu Dazhi was surprised.
He originally thought that with Young Master's arrogant personality, he would not care about him.
Chu Li said, "I'll let you know how high the sky is. Don't think that you're very powerful!"
"Alright, let's see!" Zhou Hange laughed.
They brought the sword manual to a moon-shaped door. After passing through it, they arrived at a martial arts hall.
Half of the martial arts library was a library for the secret manuals, and the other half was a martial arts hall. They could read and practice at the same time, which was very convenient.
The martial arts hall was about two hundred square meters, and it was covered with red mud. It was hard with a hint of softness, and it was very comfortable to walk on.
Weapons were displayed on the walls. Other than swords and knives, there were also all kinds of strange weapons.
There was no one in the hall. After the three of them entered, Chu Li began to practice the one hundred and eight sword techniques.
Zhou Hange and Chu Dazhi stared at him without blinking, afraid that they could not see clearly.
After practicing, Chu Li sheathed his sword and glanced at him. "How is it?"
"Not a single bit off!" Zhou Hange praised.
Chu Dazhi quickly asked, "Young Master, how did you do it?"
"It's not difficult to have a photographic memory," Chu Li said. "If I can do it, then I can do it. If I can't, then I can't. It's just like how tall you are and how big your eyes are. It's all natural."
When Zhou Hange heard Chu Li's words, he almost laughed out loud.
Chu Dazhi hated it when people mentioned his eyes. His face was too big, and his eyes were too small, which made him feel ashamed.
Chu Dazhi knew that Young Master must be taking this opportunity to take revenge. He could only grit his teeth and bear with it. "Young Master, if you have any orders in the future, I will listen to them."
"No orders?" Chu Li said.
"Yes." Chu Dazhi nodded.
Chu Li nodded. "That's good. Let's go."
Relying on martial arts alone was not enough. He needed a stronger ability to make them feel inferior. Only then would there be no jealousy, only admiration. Only then would he be able to completely subdue them. This was the first step he took.
