C48 The Attitude of the People Towards the New Cultivation Method Changed Greatly

"How did Jiang Que manage that?"

"It seems impossible. That sword is just a piece of metal with terrible toughness and strength."

"How on earth could Jiang Que inflict such a deep, half-meter wound on the Gold Python with a mere metal sword?"

"Truth be told, comparing the toughness and strength of that iron sword to the Gold Python's scales is like comparing paper to steel."

"How could a sheet of paper possibly slice through steel? Is it possible that the Flame Mountain Tribe's clansmen unintentionally infused the iron sword with Spirit Ore during forging, exponentially increasing its strength?"

"That's not plausible. Even the sharpest alloy sword would at most leave a scratch on the Gold Python's scales."

In front of their screens, the audience was in disbelief at what they had witnessed.

They had all surmised that the cultivation method Jiang Que had developed must be exceptional, perhaps even several times more potent than the Flying Blade Spell.

This was, after all, a cultivation method Jiang Que had created during his Spirit Release Stage.

Yet, nobody anticipated that Jiang Que's new cultivation method would enable him to slice through the scales of a level 20 Gold Python with an incredibly weak metal sword.

"No, the sword isn't the key factor here."

At last, someone figured out the cause.

"Rewatch the video, this time at a speed ten times slower than normal."

"Jiang Que didn't even fully approach the Gold Python. He launched his attack from a distance of three to four meters."

"The iron sword never actually made contact with the Gold Python. The scanner revealed that what truly inflicted the wound was an energy similar to a sword blade, formed in the aftermath of the sword's slash. It cleanly cut through the Gold Python's scales."

"Is that so?"

With those words, everyone promptly reviewed the previous footage.

The results left them all in awe.

"It really is true! The new cultivation method Jiang Que has created is nothing short of miraculous!"

"The energy resembling a sword blade is incredibly potent! Despite what the scanner indicates about its strength, it's not that formidable!"

"The energy may not seem strong, but in terms of solidity and sharpness, it surpasses the iron sword by more than ten thousand times."

"And it's precisely for this reason that even the formidable defenses of the Gold Python crumble before this sword's strike."

Jiang Que has developed a completely new attack cultivation method that defies traditional classification as a cold weapon technique, as its effectiveness is independent of the sword's material. Even the finest alloy blade pales in comparison to this method.

However, it's not accurate to say the sword's material is irrelevant. The scanner revealed that the Spirit Power coursing through the iron sword caused significant wear and tear on the material. Had Jiang Que wielded a lower quality wooden sword, it likely wouldn't have withstood the Spirit Power and would have shattered.

Conversely, if Jiang Que were to use a top-quality alloy sword, it would not only facilitate the unobstructed flow of Spirit Power but also accelerate its speed within the blade.

This cultivation method is truly extraordinary! Only a man as remarkable as Jiang Que could have invented it.

I find myself suddenly eager to learn this new technique!

Everyone's perspective shifted dramatically.

It was unforeseen that Jiang Que's innovative cultivation method would produce such a wonder. With a single sword strike, he effortlessly inflicted a half-meter deep wound on the Gold Python. Achieving this feat would be challenging even with several enhancements to the Flying Blade Spell.

The audience, previously indifferent to the new technique, now found themselves overwhelmed with the urge to master it.

In the canyon, following his successful hit, Jiang Que didn't press his advantage against the Gold Python. Leveraging the speed of the Cloud Stepping Spell, he momentarily withdrew from the fray.

He swiftly contemplated potential refinements to his sword technique. "Firstly, the synergy between the Cloud Stepping Spell and my swordsmanship needs work. Secondly, the Sword Qi only reached a distance of about four meters, whereas, at my current Energy Condensation Stage Level 6, it should extend to at least six meters. Lastly, I need to hone my swordsmanship further. My last strike, while powerful, lacked agility. Against an opponent with quick reflexes, my attacks could be easily evaded."

After identifying these areas for improvement, Jiang Que accelerated once more, treating the Gold Python as a training partner to refine the weaknesses he had just identified.

Terrifying sword wounds began to appear on the body of the Gold Python that dominated the entire canyon. By the time the Gold Python drew its last breath, its body was covered with scars. Half a month ago, Jiang Que was still unable to defeat the Gold Python. But now, he had effortlessly slain the creature. Moreover, while dispatching the Gold Python, he managed to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of his cultivation method.

"Damn, this cultivation method is so powerful, and there's still room for improvement?"

"Wait, did you all catch Jiang Que's summary? He mentioned that at Energy Condensation Stage Level 6, his Sword Qi could extend up to six meters?"

"Doesn't this imply that as his level increases, the reach of his Sword Qi will also expand?"

"The major drawback of this cultivation method is the need to be close to the enemy, unlike firearms that allow for long-range combat."

"If the range of the Sword Qi extends with higher levels, could this cultivation method eventually rival the Flying Blade Spell? If an enemy is within his sight, he could strike."

"It's astounding enough that this new cultivation method is incredibly potent, but it's also capable of long-range attacks."

"I haven't mastered the full Cloud Stepping Spell yet, and here's another formidable cultivation method emerging."

"Don't worry. If all goes well, once the average strength of the Flame Mountain Tribe's clansmen nears or reaches Spirit Release Stage Level 1, Jiang Que will surely teach them the complete Cloud Stepping Spell to boost their collective power."

"This new cultivation method is also at the Spirit Release Stage Level 1 and will significantly enhance the clansmen's strength. Jiang Que is likely to make it public."

"If things progress quickly, it might just take about a month. Even if it's slower, we're looking at roughly a month and a half. We just need to be patient."

"That's reassuring. With that said, I should go buy a sword. An alloy blade will undoubtedly surpass an iron sword in power."

The audience in the live stream went from concern to elation as alloy swords crafted from various materials sold out across multiple e-commerce platforms.

"Jiang Que has once again created a miraculous cultivation method!"

"While many believed Jiang Que's new cultivation method was constrained by the times, he showed us the true meaning of being the greatest genius in the history of the Human Race!"

"Alloy swords are flying off the shelves, sparking a buying frenzy thanks to Jiang Que's innovative cultivation method!"

"Following the Cloud Stepping Spell, the Human Race is eager to master another powerful cultivation method! Unfortunately, they'll have to wait."

"We will be inviting renowned economists and experts in alloy materials to provide live analysis on the economic impact of the new cultivation method, as well as how alloy materials enhance it. Stay tuned!"

News media outlets have swiftly updated their headlines in response to the new cultivation method, sending human society into a whirlwind of excitement once more.

Yet, the true significance of this new cultivation method's emergence remains unknown to all.

The military's Marshal wasted no time in convening an urgent meeting.

Races throughout the Milky Way are also deliberating and studying the potential effects this new cultivation method will have on the Human Race.
