As for this martial competition between the Eastern Region and the Northern Region, it was not only the Eastern Region and Northern Region that attached great importance to it—Lin Bai was taking it very seriously as well.
He seemed to have rediscovered a certain feeling from the past: he liked organizing all his methods and abilities before a battle.
"I have quite a lot of methods at my disposal, but that creates a major problem: if you bite off more than you can chew, you'll choke!"
"The more Mystic Arts and Dao Arts I cultivate, and the more abilities I master, the more disorganized I become."
"This has both advantages and disadvantages in actual combat."
"The advantage is... with so many methods at my disposal, I have many more possibilities and can deal with my opponent's techniques more effectively."
"But the disadvantage is... when there are too many things, they can easily disrupt my thoughts on the battlefield, preventing me from making the best response in an instant!"
When fighting a martial artist at Bu Junfeng's level, victory or defeat was often decided in the flicker of lightning and spark. Once he revealed even the slightest flaw, Bu Junfeng could very well seize it and defeat him.
Lin Bai had no choice but to reorganize his methods and abilities.
"I have fully comprehended the sword techniques of the fourth stage of Azure Lotus Swordplay. There are five techniques in total: Mountain Shifting, Sea Filling, Star Chasing, Moon Snatching, and Carefree Wandering."
"But at the same time, after discussing the Dao at Heaven Sword Peak, I perfected Crimson Lotus Swordplay from Azure Lotus Swordplay!"
"Crimson Lotus Swordplay consists of four techniques: Crimson Lotus Zhu Xian Sword, Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire Slash, Crimson Lotus Myriad Sword Seal, and Crimson Lotus Sword Domain!"
