C18 Epiphany

As night fell, Yang Junyi returned to his temporary inn after a day of cultivation.

Sitting at the table, Yang Junyi held a brush and started to reflect on today's training.

Today, he tried integrating the 'Fast, Accurate, and Vicious' skill into the movements of the Basic Sword Technique. However, the results were not what he had expected, and he had many problems.

First was his speed. Perhaps it was because he had just come into contact with the light sword, but Yang Junyi's movements when using the light sword were stiff and slow, without the slightest feeling of fluency.

"After all, this is my first time coming into contact with the light sword, so it's normal to have many flaws. Basic sword skills are not hard to grasp, and as long as I spend time practicing, persevering, and training it to the bone, it will form instincts. At that time, my speed will also increase. This is the so called Familiarized Proficiency! "

After calmly analyzing his own situation, Yang Junyi finally found a way and a direction to work hard.

"Is' accurate 'just referring to the hit rate?"

Having solved one problem, Yang Junyi once again fell into contemplation of the next problem.

It could be said that Yang Junyi had been researching the true profound meaning of the "Quasi-character" character during today's practice. This was the reason why the scene of the attack aimed at a single point appeared in Yi Nan Qin's eyes.

Just as Ainanqin had thought, Yang Junyi had also discovered the problem: an attack that was too obvious was a suicidal move.

In a battle, the situation was constantly changing. Wu Ning who specialized in a single point of attack would cause the enemy to increase their defense or entrap the enemy.

Thinking of this, Yang Junyi felt a headache coming on. He realized that he had entered a dead end. "If I don't specialize in this, how can it be so effective?"

"But if you specialize in just a little bit, then your plan of attack is too obvious, and you've fallen into a disadvantage!"

"Drop Water Piercing Stone, Drop Water Piercing Stone …" Yang Junyi muttered to himself. Suddenly, he bitterly smiled, "The reason why raindrops can penetrate rocks is because rocks do not have a countertrap. If the rocks strengthen their defenses, in order for the raindrops to work even harder for a thousand years, they might not be able to pierce rocks. Not to mention that in battle, every minute can determine life and death, and the outcome, how can that idiot give you that much time?"

Yang Junyi heaved a long sigh of relief. He rubbed the Great Yang Acupoint, trying his best to relax.

He felt as if he had completely confused the three words "quick, accurate, and ruthless" with "water droplets piercing a rock".

First was the 'fast, accurate, and ruthless' spell. Yang Junyi tried his best to recall the novels he had read in his previous life and the attacks of those swordsmen in the movies, such as Thirteen …

After a long time, Yang Junyi's confused voice rang out in the quiet room.

"One strike kill!"

Almost all swordsmen who used quick swords had one thing in common: they all had the same assassin's ability to kill in one hit.

The difference between a swordsman and an assassin was that a swordsman's sword was executed in a frontal battle, while an assassin's sword was executed in a sneak attack. There was a qualitative difference between the two.

What puzzled Yang Junyi was, "Why were those swordsmen able to kill with a single sword strike? How did they break through the enemy's defenses?"

Perhaps some would say that because their swords were fast enough, before the enemy could react, they had already grasped their fatal weakness and dealt a fatal blow.

That is true.

However, the problem with Yang Junyi was that if the enemy was stronger than him, even if he managed to grasp the opponent's weak point, he would still be able to unleash a swift sword attack. However, this strike was unable to effectively break through his opponent's defense?

This was the real point.

It was also the real reason why Yang Junyi had switched to a lightsaber instead of throwing his broadsword.

Could it be that in the novels and movies from his past life, those fast sword swordsmen had all met opponents whose strength was lower than theirs?

Was there no enemy that was stronger than him?

Yang Junyi was absolutely confident in his abilities. But how did the elders of the Swift Sword Sect kill an enemy stronger than them with just a single strike?

This was the answer Yang Junyi wanted to find!

Yang Junyi had a premonition that the answer lay between "quick, accurate and ruthless" and "water drops piercing a rock".

However, Yang Junyi was stuck in a dead end because of these two questions.

His tangled thoughts were like two giant beasts colliding in his mind. For a whole four days, Yang Junyi did not leave his room and sat motionlessly in front of his desk. He looked exhausted and dispirited, as if he had lost his soul.

On the evening of the fifth day, when the first rays of the morning sun shone through the window onto Yang Junyi's disheveled hair, sunken face, and bloody mouth, a spark of light flashed from the depths of his lifeless eyes before finally bursting out with a blinding light.

"Hahaha …" "I finally understand …"

"Accuracy is the grasp of timing and the control of the battle. One has to be sensitive enough to seize the weakness of the enemy in that instant and use his sword in time to break through the enemy's fatal point with lightning speed. With absolute speed, although one breath of time is short, it is still enough to evolve into an offensive attack with ten thousand swords.

"A breath of time is a thousand years long. One sword is hidden with ten thousand swords, and ten thousand swords return to their point. It can break the defense of the world!"

After a hearty laugh, Yang Junyi collapsed onto the table with a "boom" sound, fainting on the spot.

According to the jargon of the profession, Yang Junyi almost went berserk, and did not eat or drink for a whole five days. Even as a Stage Seven Brass Cultivator, Yang Junyi was not able to withstand it.

If not for Yang Junyi's timely enlightenment, he might have either died from the backlash of his battle qi or gone insane.

"… …"
