Meng Zhao's framework was profound, his organization vast. Compared to it, the system Yan Congke had constructed merely drew out one part of that immense framework and turned it into a path he could see and touch.
The complete advancement of Sword Toes could be called the Sword Body, while the path Yan Congke had built at present was, at most, Sword Fingers.
Of course, this was all Yan Congke's own thinking. With his years of accumulated swordsmanship, attainments in the sword path, martial wisdom, and the three secret sword techniques, the path he had formed would most likely succeed.

Sword Fingers, however, were vastly different. Once the Sword Meridian was formed, sword qi could be released from all ten fingers at will. Whether in power, flexibility, or the sword techniques formed from sword qi, it would all be exceedingly formidable.
Seeing Yan Congke so utterly absorbed, Meng Zhao nodded and quietly departed.

He had merely
