Sword Dao Chen Xin
Jun Xuehan looked Ning Fengzhi up and down. Although he had met Ning Fengzhi twice, this was the first time they had actually met in person.
Ning Fengzhi looked just like an ordinary person, with his long black hair casually draped over his back. He appeared very relaxed and unpretentious, without any arrogance befitting someone in a high position. Instead, he exuded a gentle aura.
"Sect Master Ning, you flatter me. With my talent, I'd barely rank second among the younger generation on the continent," Jun Xuehan said with a smile, her tone calm.
Ning Fengzhi was taken aback by Jun Xuehan's words, but he quickly recovered and said slowly, "I have lived for decades and this is the first time I have seen a prodigy like you. I have never seen anyone more outstanding than you among the younger generation."
"Among my generation, Haotian Douluo Tang Hao is a towering mountain, giving me a sense of looking up to him. No one in my generation could compare to him. And among the current generation of young people, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call you a towering mountain, someone that all the young people look up to. But I'm very curious, who is the person who would willingly make you rank second?"
Ning Fengzhi's voice carried a hint of curiosity. Jun Xuehan's talent was undeniable. Among the geniuses he knew, no one could compare to Jun Xuehan, which was why he was curious about who could make such a prodigy willingly settle for second place.
It's important to know that Soul Master are the noblest profession on the continent, and every Soul Master possesses their own pride. The pride and arrogance of geniuses, however, surpass even that of ordinary Soul Master.
Jun Xuehan's claim of barely ranking second among the younger generation speaks volumes about his pride and arrogance. Yet, he willingly places himself below someone else, suggesting that the person in first place possesses qualities that make him feel inferior; otherwise, how could they possibly subdue such a prodigy?
"That was a light." Jun Xuehan's voice was very calm, without any ripples.
"Light?" Ning Fengzhi's eyes showed confusion; he couldn't quite understand what Jun Xuehan meant by that.
Chen Xin was also somewhat surprised by Jun Xuehan. He and Ning Fengzhi were both very curious about who the number one person Jun Xuehan was talking about was, but now Chen Xin couldn't understand what Jun Xuehan meant either.
Only Xue Qinghe, seated in the main seat, knew the meaning behind Jun Xuehan's words. However, his face displayed the same expression as Ning Fengzhi's.
As for Ning Rongrong, she still looked somewhat unhappy. She didn't care at all about what they were saying.
Jun Xuehan looked at them and showed no intention of explaining. Instead, she turned her gaze to Chen Xin and said slowly, "I have heard that Senior Sword Douluo has a very deep understanding of the sword. I wonder if Senior Sword Douluo has ever comprehended the realm of intent?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xin couldn't help but look Jun Xuehan up and down, and asked softly, "You actually know about the realm of intent?"
Jun Xuehan nodded slightly and said, "I know a little, but the concept of 'intention' is too ethereal and intangible. That's why I wanted to ask Senior Sword Douluo if he has reached the realm of 'intention'."
Chen Xin seemed to have become somewhat interested and said, "Indeed, as you said, intention is too ethereal and intangible. If I hadn't already comprehended the existence of intention, I would have doubted whether intention even exists."
"It's truly remarkable that you, at such a young age, understand the concept of meaning."
Chen Xin's voice carried a hint of emotion. Few people on the mainland knew about the concept of "intention," and even fewer could reach the level of "intention."
"Senior Sword Douluo has already reached the level of intent. I would like to have a contest of intent with Senior Sword Douluo. I wonder if Senior Sword Douluo would agree?" Jun Xuehan's silver eyes quietly gazed at Chen Xin, waiting for Chen Xin's answer.
[This belongs to the realm of intention. I hope to gain some insights during my competition with Chen Xin, and thus reach the realm of intention.] Jun Xuehan thought to herself, but her expression remained completely calm.
He is currently at the Half-step Intent Realm. Just one more step forward and he will reach the realm of intent. But this one step is like an insurmountable chasm, keeping him outside the door of intent.
Chen Xin has already reached the realm of intent, and competing with him will inevitably bring some insights. It's just unknown whether these insights can help Jun Xuehan reach the realm of intent.
Hearing the voice echoing in his mind, Xue Qinghe was somewhat surprised. Jun Xuehan actually planned to use the Sword Dao Chen Xin to accumulate his insights in order to break through to the realm of intent. It was truly remarkable that he could come up with such a thing.
Chen Xin is a level 96 Super Douluo. He doesn't even need to lift a finger; he can completely suppress Jun Xuehan simply by relying on his aura. There's no way he can win.
Even though Jun Xuehan is a prodigy, prodigies still need time to grow. And the current Jun Xuehan is undoubtedly the type who has not yet grown up.
"Could it be that you have also reached the realm of intention?" Chen Xin looked at Jun Xuehan with surprise in his eyes.
Since Jun Xuehan was able to propose a contest of artistic conception with him, it means that even if Jun Xuehan has not reached the realm of artistic conception, he has touched upon it; otherwise, he would not have made the proposal.
The problem is that Jun Xuehan is so young, yet she has already encountered and even reached the realm of "Intent". How powerful must her comprehension be?
"I haven't reached the realm of intention yet, but I'm only half a step away from it," Jun Xuehan said calmly, without any concealment.
Because the essence of artistic conception doesn't need any concealment. To those who don't understand it, even if one uses artistic conception, they still won't understand.
But to someone who knows, it's easy to spot as soon as they make a move.
"The younger generation is truly formidable," Chen Xin exclaimed, then nodded slightly and said, "It's a contest of artistic conception. Since I entered the realm of artistic conception, I haven't encountered anyone who can reach that level."
"Although you haven't truly reached the realm of intention yet, it's already quite remarkable that you've touched upon it at such a young age."
"I agree to your suggestion of a contest of artistic conception. Neither of us will use Soul Power; we will only use artistic conception to compete. What do you think?"
Chen Xin did not hold back her praise, and when she looked at Jun Xuehan, her gaze was filled with admiration.
