Lou Xiaoyi wasn't sure how bad the internal and external Swordsman's collision would be.
Was it a bloody nose or a swollen face? Or was it a serious injury? This was one of the advantages of being in a big sect. As long as you didn't die on the spot, you could always be saved!
But even if the physical injuries could be saved, what about the psychological trauma? He could only bear it himself. If he could walk out of it, there would be a new world. If he couldn't, then everything would be over.
In these ten years, his methods were basically no different from when he first came out of the dome seven years ago. The only difference was in the Ten Swords Execution. However, he had only reached the fifth level of this set of ten levels of swordsmanship. His inferior skill in formations was undoubtedly exposed.
In terms of the power of the sword formation, of course, it was better than the Four Seasons Swordsmanship. However, if one considered the enhancement of the Sword Spirit to the Four Seasons Swordsmanship, the Ten Strikes Swordsmanship would never be able to catch up with the Four Seasons Swordsmanship. This was the qualitative change brought by the Sword Spirit to the flying swords!
However, he was indeed very different from seven years ago. Seven years ago, he was only a beginner in various skills. But now, it was different!
Because of his instinctive familiarity with the stars, his Big Dipper Star Scripture could now draw power from more than fifty stars. Moreover, the number of stars he could draw in every year was increasing rapidly. This also meant that his speed of absorbing the spiritual essence of heaven and earth was getting faster and faster. It had long surpassed the effect of using the Spirit Gathering Array. This was the characteristic of the pure Taoist skills. As long as one was talented in this aspect, the later stage would be faster and faster!
The Swordsman was incomparably sharp, but in terms of cultivation speed, depth and purity, it could never be compared with the orthodox Taoists. This was the real foundation of the Taoists. Therefore, no matter how strong Xuanyuan was, it could never replace the position of the orthodox Taoists!
In the past ten years, his cultivation had successfully entered the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment stage. This was the credit of the orthodox Taoist skills. When one was suitable for it, the progress would be very fast and there would be very few bottlenecks!
The progress of his main cultivation technique was fast, and the other supplementary cultivation techniques were naturally not slow either. Just like his escape technique, Starlight Traction, no matter which direction he escaped in, there would be at least a dozen stars that he could borrow strength from. This made his escape technique more and more graceful, and also more and more strange. It was as if he was a marionette controlled by dozens of invisible strings, constantly changing!
The Purple Micro Star Body was not a body cultivation technique that focused on strengthening a cultivator's body in certain aspects. Although it did provide earth-shaking changes to a cultivator's body, this sort of change was within the normal scope of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. There were many other body cultivation methods that could achieve this point, and even surpass it in some aspects!
Its greatest use to Lou Xiaoyi was that it provided a platform that was more suitable for the Star System, allowing him to achieve twice the results with half the effort with the other Star Cultivation Techniques!
This was also what he valued the most!
Needless to say, under the strong support of the Big Dipper Scripture and the Purple Micro Star Body, Lou Xiaoyi's spiritual power had made great progress in the past seven years. Although he did not have much contact with other cultivators, he was still unclear of the extent of his spiritual power. But in his opinion, if the white-robed Swordsman were to follow him again, he should be able to easily find his position. He would no longer be at a loss and be at a loss as to what to do!
To a cultivator, one's combat power was not something that could be improved by learning a certain sword technique or a certain special secret technique. It could only mean that one had more means to deal with special situations!
The foundation of a cultivator's combat was always mana, spiritual power, escape technique, and body! In the future, when one's cultivation level increased, there might be Dao Realm and so on … But to a Foundation Establishment cultivator, these four things were the most important. Then there was the Swordsman's sharp teeth!
Unfortunately, the current Lou Xiaoyi was only a tiger cub. His mouth was filled with only one tooth – Four Seasons!
The Ten Dang Flying Swords tooth had just grown out from his gums. It was a little loose and not sharp enough. It could not be torn apart …
Overall, Lou Xiaoyi was already very satisfied. In terms of the period of ten to twenty years, one could only cultivate one flying sword. It was impossible to cultivate ten layers of sword formations. Normally, one would choose seven layers. Those who could cultivate eight layers of sword formations were extraordinary geniuses. But even then, they would not be able to defeat his five layers of Four Seasons and Sword Spirit!
He did not have many tricks up his sleeve, but at the same time, other people were not much stronger than him. This was also a fact!
According to the rules of the External Sword, a cultivator could choose three other techniques after every ten years, regardless of the type. To Lou Xiaoyi, it was meaningless to choose another sword technique now. He could not even understand the sword formation of the Ten Strikes City, so he was afraid that the other techniques would not be any better!
However, he liked the Cloud Turtle Tower very much. He liked the support technique. From his point of view, he already had a few offensive techniques. Close combat, flying swords, and soul fighting techniques. Now, it was time for him to create a defensive technique. The Xuanyuan Swordsman focused on offense and not defense. However, Lou Xiaoyi did not think so. There was no harm in making his skin thicker. The ability to attack and withstand attacks were equally important!
After cultivating for ten years in Xuanyuan, he was no longer the newbie he used to be. He walked into the sea of techniques with more confidence and calmness. Although he did not do it deliberately, his unique combat style had already been built up. The only thing he lacked now was some flesh and blood.
After spending a few hours in the Cloud Turtle Tower, he realized that the defensive techniques of the Swordsman mainly focused on a few aspects. Substitution, damage reduction, displacement … This was in line with the fighting style of the Swordsman. Because they were always moving at high speed, no matter if it was an internal sword or an external sword, the most effective way to defend was to use one's own speed to prevent the opponent from hitting. This was the first principle!
Therefore, it was not recommended to use one's body to withstand attacks! This was because once the body was hit, it would immediately affect the attacking rhythm of the flying sword. This was unacceptable to the Swordsman!
Substitution was to use the Sword Puppet to withstand the damage. However, in the Foundation Building stage, the Sword Puppet could not withstand all the damage. Only in the later stages of Jin Dan or Yuanying would the Sword Puppet have the effect of substituting one's life.
Other than the Sword Puppet, one could also use the Puppet Talisman or some other special equipment. However, they had a common problem. It was not easy to refine them. Furthermore, it required a long period of nurturing before it could fuse with the body. Once there was danger, it would automatically substitute for the body.
Damage reduction, as the name suggested, was to withstand the damage. However, through some kind of secret technique, the damage would be reduced to a certain extent and the body would be able to withstand it. It was the path of exchanging damage for life!
The Damage Reduction Technique was a pure technique. It was best used when combined with a Body Cultivator's technique. It was very flexible. However, there was a disadvantage. The user's ability to withstand the opponent's ultimate move was limited. If the user made a wrong judgment, the damage would not be reduced and the user would be sacrificed!
Displacement was a technique to transfer the damage to a mysterious space. It was a very clever defensive technique. The user would be unharmed. However, the prerequisite was that the user had to have a different space!
How could a mere Foundation Building stage cultivator find a portable space big enough to withstand the power of the opponent's technique? There was no need to even think about a storage ring. A micro-space that could collapse with a fart was completely meaningless!
