Sword Intent Comprehension

"Tribal Chief!"

Seeing Yi Chen return.

Luo Ge and the other tribespeople were all cautious, not daring to ask too many questions.

"It's been dealt with. Carry on!" ✥

Yi Chen waved his hand.

"It's been dealt with?"

"That Poison Wolf was killed by the Tribal Chief?"

For great Taiwan books, visit Taiwan Novel Network—it's super convenient.

"As expected of the Tribal Chief. A Ferocious Beast that so many of us couldn't do anything about was dealt with effortlessly the moment the Tribal Chief stepped in."

"I knew it. The Tribal Chief is the reincarnation of a god. How could there possibly be a Ferocious Beast he couldn't defeat?"

"That Poison Wolf was simply courting death. It insisted on wasting the Tribal Chief's time and making him come deal with it personally!"

After their brief shock, Luo Ge and the tribespeople immediately became excited.

Flattery and praise rang out without end.

Making the viewers in the Live Stream Room sigh with emotion.

Whether it was the Interstellar Era they lived in or the Barbaric Era of Exile Planet.

Brown-nosing had always been one of the most important ways of currying favor with the strong.

Yi Chen smiled and returned to The Valley alone.

All along the way, he pondered the matter of creating a sword technique.

By the time he returned to The Valley, quite a few chunks of Iron Ore had already been piled outside the Spirit Mine Warehouse.

The High Priest was directing people to Smelt the Iron Ore into molten iron.

Before long, they would likely be able to begin forging Iron Swords.

He entered the Wooden House.

Yi Chen did not rush to cultivate.

Instead, he sat cross-legged on the wooden bed, thinking through the process of creating a sword technique.

First, he still had to comprehend Sword Intent.

The problem was, how was he supposed to comprehend Sword Intent?

Creating a sword technique seemed different from creating the Cloud Stepping Art.

When creating the Cloud Stepping Art, he could study and observe the patterns of the wind and the movements of birds and beasts, thereby improving his understanding of speed.

But when it came to sword techniques, he seemed to have no clue where to begin.

After pondering for a while, Yi Chen rose and left the Wooden House.

Little Golden Ball, which had just lain down and was preparing for a blissful nap, immediately sprang up and hurried after him.

Although its status had risen considerably, it knew full well that it had not yet earned the right to protest against Yi Chen suddenly leaving again just after returning.

He made his way into the southern forest.

Yi Chen casually snapped off a branch and tried swinging it a few times.

Whoosh! Whoosh! The wind howled without end.

The soft branch swayed from side to side.

Beside him, Little Golden Ball jumped down from Yi Chen's shoulder, picked up a small branch as well, and began swinging it with convincing imitation.

The branch was rather thick. When Little Golden Ball swung it, it was as stiff in its hands as a wooden stick.

Yi Chen gained an insight.

Even branches differed in toughness, and their power and form were therefore completely different.

Sword Intent was clearly the same.

It was speed, sharpness, elegance... a force formed from all kinds of traits.

Without the slightest hesitation, he held the branch in hand, closed his eyes in contemplation, and tried to seek out and ponder the mysteries of Sword Intent.

From time to time, he would slash or thrust with the branch in his hand, each movement bringing him different realizations and inspiration.

"Th-this... this looks like a sign that Yi Chen is about to create a New Cultivation Method?"

"That's right. Yi Chen must have gotten some new inspiration and be planning to create another cultivation method."

"My god, why does it feel like creating New Cultivation Methods is as easy for him as eating and drinking? Every few days, he gets another burst of inspiration and another idea?"

"The complete Cloud Stepping Art still hasn't been taught, and now another cultivation method is about to appear... I'm starting to hope he runs out of ideas early and can no longer create new cultivation methods."

"I feel the same way. Before we can even get our hands on one cultivation method, another one appears out of nowhere. It's enough to leave people so hungry for it that they can neither sleep nor eat."

"Don't panic, everyone. Yi Chen is definitely heading down the wrong path this time. His New Cultivation Method is bound to be a dud."

Someone said confidently, "Judging from Yi Chen's actions, as well as his request for the High Priest to mass-produce Iron Swords, the cultivation method he wants to create is undoubtedly one that uses Iron Swords."

"Can the power of cold weapons possibly stand shoulder to shoulder with thermal weapons?"

"That's absolutely impossible!"

"Yi Chen was born and raised in the Barbaric Era. He has never seen the power of thermal weapons, so he doesn't know that history has long since proven cold weapons to be an obsolete kind of weapon."

"His research should actually remain focused on the Flying Knife Art, which closely resembles thermal weapons."

The moment those words were spoken, the viewers in the Live Stream Room immediately came to their senses.

"Indeed. Even in the era of cold weapons, there was the saying that an inch longer meant an inch stronger. The Flying Knife Art is a means of ranged attack, so it clearly has a greater advantage over cold weapons."

"What Yi Chen should be doing is researching how to increase the attack speed and power of the Flying Knife Art, rather than abandoning the root to pursue the branch and studying cold weapons that can only be used in close combat."

"What a pity Yi Chen hasn't realized that as long as Ranged Attacks are fast enough, their power can be increased."

"He only knows that when dealing with the Green Leopard, he had to use over a hundred Thorn Fruits to slowly wear it to death, and that this was less destructive than directly chopping an Iron Sword into the Green Leopard's vital spot."

"But he doesn't know that if the Thorn Fruits could move another one or two times faster, their hardness would actually let them pierce through the Green Leopard's skull and kill it instantly."

"Put that way, there really doesn't seem to be anything to worry about."

"I just hope that after God Yi creates this New Cultivation Method and discovers that it is less powerful than the Flying Knife Art, he won't be too depressed."

"Don't worry! How could a genius like Yi Chen become discouraged because of one temporary failure?"

"An occasional failure will only become fuel for his progress. I hope he fails a few more times, then once the complete Cloud Stepping Art has been taught, he can create an incomparably powerful New Cultivation Method in one vigorous push."

"Right, right, right! Once the complete Cloud Stepping Art has been taught, Yi Chen can sum up his failures and create an even stronger cultivation method!"

The tens of billions of viewers in the Live Stream Room were all relieved.

Because in everyone's minds, no matter how powerful cold weapons became, they could never surpass thermal weapons.

And the Flying Knife Art was the existence most similar to thermal weapons.

The New Cultivation Method Yi Chen was creating would surely be a huge disappointment.

Normally speaking, considering the interests of all humanity, they should have hoped more that Yi Chen could create a powerful cultivation method.

Rather than hoping that Yi Chen would waste his time because his line of thought was wrong, or even run out of talent and never again have any inspiration or ideas for creating cultivation methods.

But clearly, interests were one thing, while emotions were another.

The viewers in the Live Stream Room were more worried that before they had even learned the complete Cloud Stepping Art, another powerful cultivation method would pop up and their little hearts would not be able to take it.

As for whether, as the viewers imagined, Yi Chen was taking a detour by creating a cultivation method that used cold weapons, only Yi Chen himself knew.

"Eh, look at the news! Hurry, look at the news!"

Just as everyone was celebrating the possibility that the New Cultivation Method Yi Chen was envisioning might be worthless.

An announcement posted on the Federal Government's official website caught the public's attention.

It spread through the entire Milky Way at an astonishing speed.

Even the upper echelons of races hostile to the Human Race received news from their spies at the very first moment.
