Individual Competition Top Thirty-Two (2)

Ye Qingcang didn't like naming the moves he developed.

The name is too plain and unadorned, which is indeed a bit of a disservice to the corresponding martial arts. After all, it was his painstaking work at the time, which combined his insights at the time. It was not something he made casually to appease anyone. It deserves a proper name, both in terms of sentiment and reason.

But if the name is too high-sounding, frankly speaking, it's a bit presumptuous and gives people a frivolous feeling. If it also has the same name as other martial arts techniques, then it's really embarrassing for whoever is weaker.

It's like using a wood-chopping axe.

If you insist on giving it a grand and impressive name, that's fine too. For example, you could call it the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Great Extinction Slash, or any other name fabricated by piling up fancy words. It's all acceptable, since you're the creator of this technique. If you think it's worth it, then it is. However, whether it deserves the name in the eyes of others is another matter. If, at this moment, another extraordinary person who has also cultivated the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Great Extinction Slash comes to compare their swordsmanship with yours, who can guarantee that the other person's Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Great Extinction Slash won't actually God of Destruction the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?

This is what they call "Li Kui bumping into Li Gui" (a derogatory term for a con artist).

Whether it's true or false, you can tell at a glance.

What's fake will always be fake.

Moreover, the more advanced a skill is, the easier it is to pronounce its name.

As long as it's easy to shout, that's fine.

Because ultimate skills are generally used in battle.

To boost one's own reputation.

And there is a slight chance of intimidating the opponent.

Even when practicing at home, very few people would shout it out in a childish way.

As a result, many unique and extraordinary skills emerged.

Like the Strange Sword Technique developed by Ye Qingcang.

This set of swordsmanship is not much different from the basic swordsmanship, and even the moves are the same. Only the details have been modified to facilitate the exertion of power and to enhance the artistic Artistic Conception of this swordsmanship.

Without evoking Artistic Conception, it appears quite ordinary.

It's not even as good as basic swordsmanship.

At least the basic sword techniques are smooth to perform.

While the Strange Sword Technique can be performed smoothly once mastered, it always seems to occasionally stutter.

It's like when the videotape gets stuck while watching a movie.

That feeling of being stuck in the middle.

It makes one feel heartbroken.

However, this sword technique has the most incredible bonus: it affects the flow of time!

Therefore, for learners, the entire learning process is quite painful. They need to observe Ye Qingcang from an outsider's perspective, find a frequency that they can accept in this variation that is sometimes stuttering and sometimes smooth, then adjust their stable frequency to a chaotic frequency, and then through continuous practice, adapt to and master one of the chaotic frequencies, which can be considered as the beginning of swordsmanship.

In this way, from the perspective of onlookers...

This sword technique doesn't deserve a name at all.

Even basic sword techniques are better than that.

At least it won't disrupt the user's own rhythm.

It is important to understand that in any battle, mastering the overall rhythm of the situation is equivalent to securing victory, while mastering one's own rhythm is equivalent to making oneself invincible. If a person cannot even master their own rhythm, they will not win a single battle even if they fight a hundred battles, unless their opponent also cannot master their rhythm.

Therefore, others are too busy trying to grasp the rhythm.

But you're disrupting the rhythm here?

But then again, the key to the Strange Sword Technique lies in this rhythm!

First, disrupt your own rhythm.

In this way, I'll be in a state of confusion first, and you won't need to worry about controlling me anymore.

The random frequencies are beyond my control.

It doesn't matter who comes, whether it's you or anyone else.

Neither is possible.

Secondly, mastering this rhythm.

If your frequency becomes chaotic, your opponent won't be able to figure it out. According to the usual routine, you would block this sword strike horizontally, but your chaotic frequency means that you can change your move at will during this sword strike. Even you yourself don't know how this sword strike will be swung, so your opponent will have even less chance to predict it.

In this way, just like in a movie, when the opponent is enjoying it, it suddenly stops. That feeling is enough to disrupt the opponent's rhythm in an instant, causing the opponent to subconsciously lose their composure.

Even if things don't get chaotic, don't rush.

Combined with the Artistic Conception.

That is, the sword is imbued with chaotic spiritual energy.

It's like a movie that, in addition to stuttering, also has speed-up and slow-down changes. One line of movie dialogue is playing at normal speed, the next line of movie dialogue is suddenly slowed down tenfold, and the next line of movie dialogue is suddenly sped up tenfold. Just when you think that's it, there's another stutter, or even stuttering is interspersed among these frequency changes.

This is the complete Strange Sword Technique.

A strange-looking sword technique that is strange to use and strange to kill opponents. In short, it is strange yet ordinary. Although its name is not as appealing as the "World-Destroying Sword Twenty-Three", its actual combat effectiveness is stronger.

In this way, when the opponent is careless upon hearing the name of the Strange Sword Technique, a swift sword strike slows down time in the opponent's area by a hundredfold. Then, with a strange sword technique that ignores the influence of the flow of time, the opponent's life is easily taken. Only the opponent knows how they died. To onlookers, it is merely that you handed the sword in a strange posture, and the opponent did not react in time before it was over.

Is it well-known?

Not loud at all!

Are the moves effective?

It's really useful!

This kind of "playing dumb to fool others" tactic is quite common in Ye Qingcang's hands, and it is also loved by many students in the Blue Tyrant Academy.

So, that last strike Nameless.

The student who fell to the ground didn't ask the name of the North Wind Saber.

This blow shattered his confidence.

certainly.

Confidence is like bone.

Don't be afraid of a broken bone.

Even if you break a bone, you're not afraid.

Once it's fixed, a plaster cast will be put on, and you'll need to rest for a while. Your body's healing abilities will automatically repair these injured areas.

If the students of the Blue Tyrant Academy don't even have this basic self-healing ability, they are not worthy of joining Blue Tyrant Academy and would have been eliminated long ago.

Most of them came from ordinary families.

Besides hard work, I have nothing.

Dignity has long been crushed to pieces.

This is still the consequence of having the Spirit Hall backing them up.

Without the Spirit Hall, in Dou Two, Soul Master like Huo Yuhao, who entered Shrek Academy, was reduced to the point of having to sell grilled fish to survive. In Dou One, this would be unbelievable even to wandering Soul Master, because wandering Soul Master below the Soul Ancestor could receive a monthly subsidy starting at one Gold Soul Coin by registering with the Spirit Hall. Soul Master at the Soul Ancestor level, if they joined the Heaven Dou Empire, would start as a nominal baron, becoming nobles. With the help of a couple of small merchants, they could live a life of luxury. And those Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Master like Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, Feng Xiaotian, and Lei Dong, even if they come from commoner backgrounds, are talents that the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire are vying for. If they choose to join the military of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, they will start as regimental commanders with more than a thousand men. Whether they can march or fight is not important. These positions are for chiefs of staff and many other staff officers. Starting from company commander, all nominal military commanders are judged solely on their strength. Knowing strategy is a bonus, but not knowing it is taken for granted. In short, this is the mainstream destination for graduates of the Advanced Soul Master Academy.

To put it bluntly.

The wandering Soul Master has no worries about food and clothing.

Weary from their journey, yet carefree and joyful.

Professional Soul Master hold a prestigious position.

Both appearance and substance are presentable; nothing is lacking.

Someone like Huo Yuhao, if thrown into Dou One, might live a life of extravagance and debauchery, I can't guarantee he'd be living it up, but as for the food, if each of his three meals consisted of one meat dish, one vegetable dish, one soup, and one bowl of rice, he could eat one plate and throw the rest away without ever spending it all.

This demonstrates just how vast the gap between the rich and poor is.

These students from the Blue Tyrant Academy.

More than 95 percent of them have experienced hardship.

Who hasn't lost?

There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding!

But the one who laughs last laughs best!
