Chen Fan's own insights were helpful in improving Thunder Method, but they were far inferior to the effect of triggering an enlightenment through his idle-training talent.
His comprehension of the Dao of Lightning was only at the Dao Fruit level, while his Sword Dao had already reached the second level. Naturally, his own speed of comprehension and cultivation in sword arts far surpassed that of cultivating Thunder Method.
For him, the best decision was to complete his sword art sooner, free up an idle-training slot, and begin idle-training Thunder Method as early as possible.
"However, if I do this, the speed at which Thunder Method improves will slow considerably before I complete Black Tortoise Sword. I hope the subsequent Thunder Curses descend a little more slowly..."
The risk Chen Fan had to bear was not particularly great, while freeing up an idle-training slot early would be of far greater help to him. This small risk was worth taking.
