Comprehension, Part 1

Once he can comprehend the Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth, he will have the foundation to become Saint Warrior and the hope of immortality.

Given his current relationship with Lin Lei, once he reaches the Saint Realm, he can easily find a place to lie low for two or three thousand years, waiting for Lin Lei's powerful back to return. Then he can have whatever he wants.

However, he made no progress in this regard. The only thing he could do was keep following his heart and swinging the Great Brightness Slash, hoping that one day he could strike that Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth slash again.

But after hearing Lin Lei's words, he felt a faint flash of inspiration in his mind. He felt that if he could grasp this inspiration, it would greatly promote the improvement of his strength.

But he just couldn't grasp that inspiration!

In his haste, Fengyun simply drew his Light Shadow Blade and began practicing his swordsmanship by the river.

He liked to practice his skills at Brady's blacksmith shop when he had free time, and he liked to go to the Monster Mountain Range for Monster Trial from time to time. This was because it allowed him to stay away from the organization and the infighting as much as possible, and to calm his mind.

Gradually, using cultivation to calm his mind became a habit for him. Therefore, when he was in a state of agitation, the first thing he thought of was practicing his sword.

After practicing basic sword techniques, including Phantom Slash, Light Shadow Slash, Illusionary Slash, and Sun Slash, I finally discovered that the Great Brightness Slash was the one that suited my taste best.

However, the Great Brightness Slash consumed too much of his battle qi. After only a few swings, he felt his battle qi was greatly depleted and could only unleash a series of Light Shadow Slash.

But even after his fighting spirit was exhausted, he still couldn't grasp that spark of inspiration.

From the moment Fengyun began forging his sword, Lin Lei could tell that Fengyun had probably gained some kind of enlightenment. After confirming his guess with Grandpa Delin, he became even more anxious and protected Fengyun.

But even now, he noticed that Fengyun seemed to have exhausted his fighting spirit, yet he was still swinging his sword with all his might, as if trying to grasp something, but ultimately he couldn't grasp anything at all. He knew that Fengyun's enlightenment this time had probably failed.

Feeling melancholy for his friend's unfulfilled desire, Doehring chuckled and said, "Lin Lei, although Little Yun didn't seize the opportunity to break through, it's really not a big deal."

"Whether you are a warrior or a mage, the longer you cultivate, the more insights you accumulate, and you will naturally encounter similar situations when you finally unleash your full potential."

"Failure is normal!"

"However, failure does not mean there is no gain. His foundation and understanding will be strengthened, and after accumulating a few times, he will naturally be able to break through when he encounters such an opportunity again."

Lin Lei felt much better after hearing this, and he planned to use this excuse to comfort Fengyun later.

But as he watched, he noticed that Fengyun had started using Healing Spell again.

He unleashed nearly twenty Healing Spell in succession, employing a variety of techniques.

It must be said that although Fengyun of Light Magic only learned one Healing Spell, he used Healing Spell in a very creative way.

He can perform whole-body treatment, local treatment, internal treatment, condition recovery, physical recovery, and even gather the energy of the Healing Spell in his palm without dissipating, using it as Illumination Spell.

But even after Fengyun's magic was exhausted, he still couldn't grasp that elusive glimmer of light.

Lin Lei initially thought that Fengyun had a breakthrough again when he suddenly started using Healing Spell, but when he saw that Fengyun had run out of magic power and his furrowed brows did not relax at all, he knew that Fengyun had failed once again.

Not wanting Fengyun to be discouraged if things continued like this, Lin Lei was about to go over and comfort him, but Doehring's voice suddenly came from his mind. "Don't go over there!"

Lin Lei paused in his steps, looking at Doehring with a puzzled expression, only to find a hint of seriousness in Doehring's gaze as he looked at Fengyun.

Lin Lei was puzzled. Fengyun's fighting spirit and magic power were exhausted, and he was completely still. Why did Grandpa Delin show a completely different expression than before?

He looked at Fengyun in confusion, only to find that although Fengyun was not moving, Dark Element were faintly gathering around his body.

As time passed, the dense Dark Element surrounding Fengyun coalesced into a black mist. Then, these Dark Element condensed into a giant hand—a first-level Dark Magic, the Shadow Hand.

However, the moment the Shadow Hand condensed, it immediately dissipated, then condensed again behind Fengyun, only to dissipate once more.

And so, the Shadow Hand kept gathering and dissipating around Fengyun, but its number kept increasing and its size kept expanding.

Before long, countless large and small dark purple hands converged into a sphere, centered on Fengyun.

These spherical palms swayed and moved back and forth in the wind, like a fish swimming left and right with the current, or like a seaweed dancing in the wind.

Lin Lei glanced at it and felt only that it was evil and eerie!

If these Shadow Hand weren't semi-transparent, with Fengyun smiling faintly at their center, Lin Lei might have turned tail and fled, getting away from this thing that made him extremely uncomfortable both physically and mentally.

Fortunately, this strange situation did not last long. The sphere composed of numerous Shadow Hand dispersed into a cloud of black mist that firmly enveloped Fengyun.

A quarter of an hour later, the black mist gradually dissipated, revealing Fengyun, who was pale-faced but full of smiles.

Lin Lei was delighted to see this, knowing that the strange situation must mean that Fengyun had made some progress. Just as he was about to step forward, he saw Fengyun draw his Light Shadow Blade again, stand silently by the river for a moment, and then swing the blade at the river again.

He simply swung his sword without using any Combat Skill, which was Lin Lei's initial belief.

But as he looked around, Lin Lei noticed something was wrong. He discovered that white fluorescence was slowly gathering on Fengyun's blade.

He had been training with Fengyun for quite some time and knew very well that it wasn't Fengyun's Radiant Battle Qi, but simply the Light Element gathered on the blade.

Then, gradually, the Light Element gathered on the blade accumulated to a certain extent and were unleashed in the form of Battle Qi Slash. Although the power was not strong, it was continuous.

However, among these Battle Qi Slash, there are occasionally one or two that are exceptionally powerful.

Upon closer observation, Lin Lei discovered that every time such a powerful slash occurred, Fengyun would apply a wisp of Radiant Battle Qi to the blade beforehand.

As the Fengyun shifted from ordinary sword swings to Light Shadow Slash, and finally to the Great Brightness Slash.

Lin Lei felt increasingly familiar with the way Fengyun used a wisp of battle qi to draw upon a large amount of Light Element to unleash a powerful Combat Skill.

It wasn't until Fengyun Yun completely depleted his barely recovered fighting spirit and stopped swinging his sword that Lin Lei suddenly realized, "Isn't this how magic is cast?!"
