Chương 92: War God’s : — Chapter 92 - His Spear Technique Mastery Has Already Reached Return to Simplicity!

"My eight hundred life force points... got one-shot?" Lord Tong snapped back to his senses, stared at the wall of scrolling comments, and fell silent. He knew. When that strike came at him, his heart had quailed. He'd lost the ability to defend himself. But. Even as a near-graduate of Tiandu Capital Martial University, he was completely baffled by that utterly domineering blade technique, a strike so overwhelming that the sound alone could shake the spirit and seize the soul. What blade art was that?

"I don't think I've ever seen anyone at Capital Martial University use a blade art like that?" Completely dumbfounded, he looked around at the other spectators. His gaze landed on the big guy, Blade Lord. As DouNai's number-one streamer in the martial arts section, Blade Lord specialized in blade techniques. Except his style leaned toward the bizarre, demon-blade path. The polar opposite of that supremely domineering blade art just now.

"Blade Lord, what blade art was that?" He sent a message. Blade Lord wore a deeply contemplative expression. Only after a long moment did he reply:"Tiger Fiend Blade Art. Also called the Three Blades of the Tiger Fiend."

"It's an advanced battlefield martial art archived by the military. Mastering this blade art requires extremely demanding conditions and an exceptionally high level of mental resolve."

"But its power is undeniable. It can rival some of the weaker superior-grade martial arts."

"It's just... for a Second Realm martial artist to actually execute it... that's downright ghostly." Hearing this, Lord Tong sucked in a breath. Whoa, damn. He felt like he'd heard of it before. Tiandu Capital Martial University was brimming with talent, and there were certainly students there who trained in blade arts. When some third- and fourth-year seniors began preparing to cultivate blade arts, they would all start considering different schools of blade techniques.

Among them, the 'Selfless Tyrant Blade' school was one many blade practitioners revered. And that school required the advanced martial art 'Thoughtless Blade Art' as the foundational starting point. Or else... One could train in an advanced blade art more suited to the Tyrant Blade school, namely, this so-called Tiger Fiend Blade Art. At this thought, Lord Tong turned toward his older sister and called out:"Sis, you should know this blade art, right?" His sister was a third-year.

She had plenty of classmates who trained in advanced martial arts. She'd definitely know a lot about this.

"Your sister not only knows about it, she also knows that at Azure Dragon University, no one has ever managed to fully master this blade art... Back when she challenged Azure Dragon University's arena tournament alone, she saw countless students training in advanced blade arts. Even if one or two could beat her by a move or half a move, none of them were practicing Tiger Fiend Blade Art."

"There were one or two who could kind of grasp it, but their execution was missing something."

"If there were even one or two who could perform it with such perfection in both form and spirit, then they probably wouldn't have just beaten her by one or two moves..." Before Form Like a Crane could speak, her qipao-wearing best friend beside her covered her mouth and laughed lightly.

"This Cao thief is getting more and more interesting. And the most interesting part isn't even the blade art itself."

"It's that with just over a hundred life force points, he can still perfectly execute an advanced martial art with both form and spirit so flawlessly embodied." If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

"I wonder what kind of talent this person has, for his physical strength to already be this terrifyingly powerful."

"That freaking awesome?" Lord Tong was stunned, then let out a sigh of relief.

"Sister Xu, so what you're saying is, me getting one-shot doesn't really have much to do with me?"

"It's purely that he's way too strong."

"You can think of it that way." Hearing this, Lord Tong pointed at the comment barrage and declared with full confidence:"See? I told you it had nothing to do with me. Those idiot commenters keep saying I suck. If you're so good, why don't you come up here and try?"

"All you do all day is run your mouths?" The barrage instantly went berserk, spamming the 'clown' emoji. Beside him, Blade Lord was thinking: This kid's really got something, the way he stirs up show effects by clashing with the comment barrage.

"..." The others. At that moment, that Cao thief spoke:"Did you gain any insights about the Swimming Dragon Sword Art?"

"Huh?" Lord Tong heard this and thought for a long time.

"Maybe a little... I feel like when I executed the final move, I didn't treat the sword in my hand as part of my own body? So, the dragon didn't swim, the dragon's cry didn't ring clear. It lacked some spirited vitality."

"Not bad." Wang Xian nodded. He's got some martial arts talent after all.

"Thanks for the expert pointers, I think I've gained some insight!" Lord Tong chuckled.

"Right, could you also give my sister some pointers? She's got a very important competition coming up soon, and her spear technique still feels like it's missing something."

"Your sister..." Wang Xian looked toward that Form Like a Crane. He had a fairly strong impression of her, a martial artist who trained in spear techniques, with what should be very high talent. And besides...

"Your sister shouldn't be lacking people to give her pointers, right?" Wang Xian said. A genius like her would have plenty of teachers to guide her.

"Not so." Lord Tong shook his head.

"The spear technique my sister trains in is... rather special. It's not that no one can teach her, but those who can are only a bit better than her in skill. She wants to take the next step... wants to improve through combat..."

"There was someone giving her pointers originally, but they've been busy lately..."

"Among her peers, very few are better than her..." Wang Xian pondered this. If nothing unexpected, this Form Like a Crane's advanced spear technique had probably already reached Peak Mastery. To take a further step, to reach Return to Simplicity... it really would be hard to find anyone who could teach her. If there was still someone who could give her pointers, then that person's spear technique skill would have to be exceptionally high.

"I have a small condition," Wang Xian said. Form Like a Crane walked over.

"What condition?"

"You should have plenty of martial artists around you who are above Third Realm and know advanced martial arts, right?" Wang Xian asked. The latter gave a slight nod.

"Would it be possible to invite a few up every day to spar a round with me?" Wang Xian finished, then added, "Preferably ones who've trained in different martial arts." At these words, the group all turned their heads to look at him. What did he mean? Looking to get wrecked? Only Blade Lord wore an odd expression.

'This guy still wants to train the Guarding Defense Art! He wants to max out all advanced martial arts through the Guarding Defense Art and cultivate the Guarding Defense Stance?' That's completely insane! Even online, if you don't set the virtual degree to the highest level, approaching the intensity of real physical combat, training the Guarding Defense Art would have no effect. After all, you had to genuinely withstand the power of advanced martial arts.

If you didn't feel the force of advanced martial arts, how could your body adapt?

'Pure self-torture! Even if his body can take it, can his willpower take it?' High-intensity combat. Doing it for a day or two might be fine, but every single day? Who could endure that?

"It's doable..." Form Like a Crane frowned slightly.

"It's just that your body might not be able to handle it... Martial Way No Gap virtual duels also massively drain your willpower. And you've probably set the virtual degree to max. When an advanced martial art lands on you, the pain it causes, your real body will feel it just the same."

"It's fine." Wang Xian waved a hand.

"Just send them." Using advanced martial arts to temper the Guarding Defense Art. As long as the other side could bring enough people, then over the 2-month summer break, with some exotic beast fighting at the end, that would be more than enough to train the Guarding Defense Art to perfection. That way, at university, advanced martial arts would pose no threat to him. He could handle them with ease. In real life, the only place to find so many people who knew advanced martial arts was at a university.

But it was summer break now, and all the university students had gone home. No chance there. Online, however, there were plenty of opportunities. Randomly matched martial artists definitely wouldn't have the same high proficiency in advanced martial arts as students from top universities. So the effect on training the Guarding Defense Art would naturally be even better.

"Fine!" Form Like a Crane looked at him and took a deep breath.

"Then shall we fight now? I'll suppress my life force to match your level, and stick mainly to basic spear techniques."

"No need," Wang Xian shook his head.

"What do you mean?"

"If you want to refine your spear technique to Return to Simplicity, you actually don't need my pointers," Wang Xian said.

"What you need is simply to see the view from the Return to Simplicity level."

"With your comprehension, as long as you see it, you'll definitely gain insight. Fighting is unnecessary." The group heard this. What did he mean by that?

"Advanced grade and below, what spear technique martial art do you want to refine?" Wang Xian said flatly. Form Like a Crane sucked in a sharp breath. Goosebumps rose all over her body. Only Lord Tong looked completely lost.

"Sister Xu, what does the expert mean?" The qipao-wearing best friend narrowed her eyes and said in a low voice:"What he means is, any spear technique martial art your sister names, at the advanced level or below, his mastery of it has already reached Return to Simplicity."

"Your sister only needs to name it, and he can execute it right in front of her."
