Great Brightness Slash

In the past, Fengyun might not have understood why he had been able to kill his opponent with a single strike.

But having just experienced the Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth realm not long ago, he sensed traces of the feeling from that strike within the slash he had used to kill the black-clad assassin.

The feeling was faint—so faint that he even wondered whether it had merely been an illusion.

Yet when he targeted the Earth Scorpion and followed that feeling to slash again, he sensed it once more.

Faint—extremely faint!

But he was utterly certain that his feeling was not wrong!

Although he still did not know how to draw upon heaven and earth, he knew that perhaps he did not need to think too much. He only needed to keep slashing, slashing, slashing—follow his heart and cut down every enemy, continuously deepening that feeling.

Perhaps he could once again unleash that Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth strike and comprehend the Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth realm!

"It's like that strike just now. The moment the thought arises, I gather a massive amount of battle qi. No matter how strong or weak the enemy is, even if it is merely a Level 2 magical beast like an Earth Scorpion, I will not hesitate to expend battle qi and strike!"

"I shall name it—Great Brightness Slash!"

He felt that his talent was inferior to Lin Lei's. He had studied Healing Spell and Light Shadow Slash for five or six years, yet had failed to develop anything like Rhythms of Light or Light Wave!

Still, being able to follow his heart and use the lingering insight from Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth to create a move like Great Brightness Slash was not bad. He remembered that the protagonist of Snow Eagle had started out by following his heart, ultimately creating a World True Intent!

Lin Lei was even more confused, but it did not matter. He had his own private tutor—Grandpa Delin of the ring, Delin Kewote!

Whenever he did not understand something, he could simply ask the old man for an explanation.

Delin stroked his beard and said, "How should I put this? I don't even know whether to call Little Yun a genius or say that he knows how to give up!"

Lin Lei asked curiously, "A genius? Knows how to give up? What do you mean?"

Delin smiled helplessly. "A true genius, after experiencing that strike, would surely rack his brains thinking over and recalling it, then keep swinging his blade and testing through trial and error."

"Supplemented by life-and-death tempering, perhaps within a few years, he would unleash several more Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth strikes amid deadly battles. After accumulating enough experience, he would naturally reach the Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth realm!"

Delin's expression grew slightly solemn. "If that genius were already at the Level 9 Peak, then one especially profound moment of insight might even allow him to directly reach that realm and break through into the Saint Realm."

"But that is for a true genius. Those lacking sufficient talent would either die during that process, or exhaust every effort only to gain no further insight at all!"

"And Little Yun likely gained some insight while killing that enemy just now, sensing once again the feeling of Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth from when he wielded that previous strike!"

"That is why he decided to cast everything aside and pursue only that feeling as he swung his blade!"

"Fighting with his blade in this manner is naturally extremely powerful!"

"Compared with constantly thinking things through from every angle and testing through trial and error, completely giving up thought, pursuing one's own feelings, and relying on instinct to unleash an immensely powerful blade technique—is that not knowing how to give up?"

"It is just that doing so is rather short-sighted!"

"But that cannot be helped. Little Yun is too young. Young people are prone to making such mistakes!"

Lin Lei asked curiously, "Grandpa Delin, I think this is pretty good!"

"Although Brother Yun's strike just now did not reach the Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth realm, it was still very powerful. What is wrong with that?"

Delin said irritably, "The path of a warrior lies in advancing bravely and diligently. If one does not advance, one falls behind. What he is doing may seem to strengthen him, but it is also equivalent to giving up the opportunity brought by that Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth strike!"

"I previously said that after reaching Level 9, he would have a chance of entering the Saint Realm within thirty years. That was because of the opportunity from that strike. Even if only faint lingering traces remained, with his comprehension, there was still a great chance that he could unleash that strike again in the future and enter the Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth realm!"

"But now, he has transformed the opportunity from that strike into this decisive and domineering Great Brightness Slash. Though it has enhanced his strength, unless he advances rapidly and comprehends the Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth realm through this blade technique in a short time—"

"Otherwise, as time passes, if he wishes to comprehend Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth again in the future, the lingering benefits of that strike will have long since become nourishment for Great Brightness Slash!"

"It may even form a Knowledge Barrier if he studies this blade technique too deeply, becoming an obstacle to his comprehension of the Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth realm!"

"After all, what a warrior needs to comprehend Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth is breadth—the capacity to embrace all rivers. An extreme pursuit of power is not necessarily a good thing!"

At this point, Delin could not help shaking his head and sighing. "What a pity that Little Yun is only Level 5 now, rather than Level 9. He cannot seize this opportunity and advance rapidly."

"After thirty or fifty years, it will all be too late!"

"Even if he once comprehended the Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth realm, the passage of time and the influence of Great Brightness Slash will have worn that opportunity away almost completely!"

Lin Lei frowned. "Does it have that much of an impact?"

Delin stroked his beard. "Sigh... it does have that much of an impact!"

Lin Lei was deeply affected by those words and immediately intended to warn Fengyun. However, Delin, seeing what he intended, stopped him. "Don't do anything foolish. Do not remind Little Yun!"

Lin Lei froze and asked in confusion, "Grandpa Delin, why won't you let me remind Brother Yun?"

Delin continued with a smile, "Although what Little Yun is doing is not ideal, it is still far better than those warriors who fail to comprehend anything at all."

"For a warrior of his age, any gain is a good thing!"

"After all, the Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth realm is something warriors should only consider once they reach Level 9. It is not something a low-level warrior of Little Yun's age should pursue!"

"Even Control Over Self is not a realm Little Yun should have reached at this point. What this child needs most right now is accumulation—learning Combat Skills to broaden his horizons, truly improving his physical condition, and increasing his battle qi!"

"It is only because Little Yun is too talented and reached the Control Over Self realm at such a young age that we feel he should be making breakthroughs and comprehending the more profound Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth realm!"

"But for Little Yun as he is now, pursuing realms too fervently is truly not a good thing!"

"After all, he is too young and has experienced too little. Comprehending more profound realms also requires a sufficiently rich foundation."

"And Little Yun's foundation..."

"Do you think that little Light Shadow Slash of his counts as a rich foundation?"

"Though I'm not a Saint Warrior, from my conversations with those warrior friends in the past, I know how difficult it is for warriors to comprehend Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth!"

"The more Combat Skills one learns, the deeper one's foundation becomes, and the easier it is to reach this realm."

"Even so, there are those with a weak foundation, few Combat Skills, and insufficient life experience who still comprehend Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth and reach the Saint domain!"

"But there are far too few people like that. Every one of them who can accomplish it is a true super genius!"
