Terra Su thought about it more and more, feeling that it was feasible. He simply sat down on the ground, closed his eyes, and began to simulate it in his mind.
While Terra Su was digesting the benefits he had gained, Julian Xue was bored, staring blankly at the sky.
No matter how precious these insights into swordsmanship were, they were of no use to Julian Xue, who felt like he was listening to a foreign language.
After a long time.
Terra Su suddenly opened his eyes, his body unfurling as the Moon Slayer sword at his waist was unsheathed.
Swish!
The sword vibrated, and the Waves Stacking Slash was unleashed.
As the sword slashed out, it burst forth with two beams of cold light, one thick and one thin. The thick beam was the sword itself, while the thin one, like a thread, was a white True Essence energy.
“It’s Sword Qi!”
Ling Fang, watching from the side, gasped in shock.
His view of Terra Su changed completely. Initially, he thought Terra Su was just an ordinary upper division student passing by.
But now, he wondered where this genius had come from, managing to condense Sword Qi at the eighth level of the Condensing Origin Realm?
As far as he knew, even the most talented swordsmen needed to reach at least the first level of the Transforming Realm to start condensing Sword Qi. If someone could condense Sword Qi by the tenth level of the Condensing Origin Realm, they would undoubtedly be considered a prodigy.
Yet, this student had condensed Sword Qi at the eighth level. Was he a monster?
Moreover, Ling Fang couldn’t be sure if Terra Su had condensed Sword Qi after listening to his own insights into swordsmanship.
If that were the case, it would only prove Terra Su to be even more of a prodigy, considering that his words were unfiltered and spontaneous, something even Ling Fang himself might not have understood in his youth.
However, Terra Su understood and absorbed the insights for his own use.
What surprised Ling Fang even more was what happened next.
As Terra Su continued to wield his sword, the Sword Qi, as thin as a needle, grew larger, longer, and thicker, eventually becoming as thick as Terra Su’s sword.
This meant that Terra Su had successfully condensed the Sword Qi.
In future battles, once the Sword Qi was unleashed, Terra Su’s sword’s lethality would double.
And this was just one Sword Qi. A swordsman could unleash up to ten Sword Qi at once, with immense power.
After condensing ten Sword Qi, a swordsman could begin to comprehend Sword Intent, meaning ten Sword Qi were the foundation of Sword Intent.
However, those were concerns for another time. Terra Su had only condensed his first Sword Qi, far from ten.
“Thank you, Mentor Ling.”
Terra Su cupped his hands in sincere gratitude towards Ling Fang.
Condensing a Sword Qi before reaching the Transforming Realm was something Terra Su hadn’t anticipated.
Ling Fang’s words were not just about condensing a Sword Qi; the insights within would benefit Terra Su for life, making his path in swordsmanship smoother than others.
If Terra Su could ultimately comprehend the Sword Soul in this lifetime, Ling Fang’s explanation today would account for at least half the credit.
Because he had pointed Terra Su towards a feasible path.
This path was the fusion of soul power and swordsmanship.
Previously, Terra Su had never heard of anyone taking this path, and even the Sword Emperors of the past hadn’t mentioned such a method.
But after today’s simulation, Terra Su felt that this path should be feasible.
This was undoubtedly great news for Terra Su, who excelled in soul power as an Alchemist. If he could integrate soul power into swordsmanship, it would maximize his strengths.
Terra Su already had a solid foundation in swordsmanship theory, which laid a strong base for him to walk this path.
At this moment, Ling Fang was also astonished. He had never seen such a talented student who could grasp the true essence of swordsmanship from a brief conversation and then condense Sword Qi.
To be honest, Ling Fang had not expected Terra Su to truly understand, as he had merely been pouring out years of accumulated insights with no outlet.
Unexpectedly, Terra Su not only understood but quickly condensed a Sword Qi.
Condensing a Sword Qi was one thing, but the key was that Terra Su was only at the eighth level of the Condensing Origin Realm!
This was an unparalleled genius in swordsmanship!
Such a genius happening to walk into his little hut was truly a stroke of luck.
For a moment, Ling Fang felt deeply gratified. His insights into swordsmanship had helped a genius comprehend a new realm, which was a great achievement for him.
“Mentor Ling, I have some questions about swordsmanship that I don’t quite understand and would like to ask for your guidance,” Terra Su said with a smile.
“Oh, sure, feel free to ask me anything,” Ling Fang nodded instinctively, eager to share his knowledge with such a talented swordsman.
“My question is…”
Terra Su began to ask questions, and Ling Fang immediately provided his explanations.
Gradually, Ling Fang sensed something was off, as Terra Su’s questions were incredibly precise, each one targeting the core, and each one enlightening Ling Fang as he explained.
In the end, Ling Fang’s eyes shone brighter and brighter, his mind filled with new insights into swordsmanship that he had never had before.
These insights were all sparked by Terra Su’s questions, and Ling Fang couldn’t believe they were without deeper meaning.
He even suspected that Terra Su’s questions were meant to help and guide him in thinking in the right direction.
At that moment, Ling Fang cupped his hands towards Terra Su and sincerely said, “I dare not call myself your mentor anymore. Your accomplishments in swordsmanship far surpass mine. From now on, let’s interact as equals. You’re always welcome to come and discuss swordsmanship with me.”
Hearing this, Terra Su knew that his questions had indeed greatly benefited Ling Fang.
In fact, Terra Su’s questions were tailored to Ling Fang’s current situation. Rather than seeking answers, Terra Su was helping Ling Fang address some issues in integrating swordsmanship with soul power.
