Li Changfeng smiled slightly upon hearing this, cupped his hands, and said, "I must thank you for your guidance, senior! Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to comprehend it so easily!"
Upon hearing this, the elderly man in his sixties waved his hand and said, "The master leads you through the door, but the cultivation depends on each person. You have to figure all this out yourself. What I have done is nothing!"
Li Changfeng smiled faintly upon hearing this, "Senior! I have now achieved the initial stage of preparation, but there is still one point I don't quite understand!"
The elderly man, slightly surprised, said, "Then tell me!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "Senior! Can this deliberate sword strike only be unleashed once? Although this strike is extremely powerful and can kill most experts, it might still be able to withstand the attack from a truly strong opponent. Wouldn't that mean..."
The elderly man rolled his eyes at Li Changfeng. "Who told you to unleash all your Sword Intent in one strike? Sword Intent can only get stronger, not weaker. This is the second step you need to reach to advance your Sword Intent! Think back to how you initially built up your power!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng's expression turned serious, and he cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, senior! I understand!"
The elderly man nodded upon hearing this. "You have two months left before you undergo your final trial!"
Li Changfeng was visibly surprised upon hearing this. "The final trial! What kind of trial is that?"
The elderly man chuckled softly, "You'll find out then!"
After saying that, he disappeared directly onto the lake without giving Li Changfeng a reply.
Seeing this, Li Changfeng gave a wry smile, "It's like this again..."
Afterwards, Li Changfeng began to comprehend the Sword Intent once more. "The Sword Intent will only get stronger and stronger! If I unleash most of the sword intent in one Sword Intent, and then condense the Sword Intent again in the second strike, and continue to accumulate it, then the Sword Intent might become stronger and stronger!"
"If that's the case, the Sword Intent condensed each time must be extremely strong!"
After thinking it over, Li Changfeng his trial. His expression was cold and stern, and he looked like a powerful swordsman waiting to draw his sword. He slowly took out the Yama Sword, gently gripped the hilt, and suddenly pulled it out, unleashing a sharp and domineering sword light.
A deep sword mark appeared on the lake's surface, splitting it in two. The intense Sword Intent prevented the two halves of the lake from rejoining for a long time, demonstrating its immense power!
Then, Li Changfeng unleashed another sword strike, but this one was unremarkable, containing only a strong sword intent, and could not possibly achieve the same powerful Sword Intent as before, causing the entire lake to merge back together.
Seeing this, Li Changfeng sighed slowly, "Right now, I can only do the basics! To make each sword strike stronger than the last, I need to practice more!"
Half a month later.
Li Changfeng practiced his swordplay countless times on this lake, but as before, he could only unleash a single, charged strike. Subsequent sword moves were far from reaching his previous level, and only occasionally could he gather some Sword Intent in the second strike!
Although the progress is not significant, he is now condensing his Sword Intent faster and faster. In the past, it took him three hours to condense his Sword Intent to the limit, but now it only takes one and a half hours, which is almost half the time!
Li Changfeng slowly exhaled, concentrated his mind, and once again drew his sword towards the lake. After an unknown amount of time, Li Changfeng exhausted all his true energy and physical strength, and lay on the ground, his head throbbing slightly.
Concentrating on his sword strikes not only depleted his physical strength and inner energy, but also greatly exhausted his mental energy. Soon after, Li Changfeng fell asleep in less than a breath.
The next morning.
Li Changfeng was awakened by a ray of intense sunlight. He slowly opened his eyes and immediately felt a rumbling stomach. He had been too tired to eat anything the day before and had fallen asleep right away. He quickly started a fire, grilled a few large fish, and began to eat them heartily.
"Momentum! It shouldn't be just a simple Sword Intent, but rather a kind of aura, a kind of power! If I maintain this state of 'momentum,' will each sword strike only become stronger and stronger?"
Li Changfeng wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth, hurriedly ran to the lakeside, and attacked again. A powerful and domineering sword Sword Intent suddenly erupted. With a light tug of the Yama Sword in his hand, a powerful and domineering Sword Intent suddenly cleaved the entire lake in two.
Then, he unleashed a second sword strike, slashing out a sword beam containing a portion of the Sword Intent's power. He then unleashed a third sword strike, also containing a portion of the sword's Sword Intent, which slammed into the lake, forcefully splitting the lake apart in three breaths. Its power was extremely domineering!
Seeing this, Li Changfeng was overjoyed. "Success! My idea was correct! I will practice diligently from now on and I will definitely be able to break through to the realm of Sword Intent!!"
Half a month later.
Li Changfeng slowly stood on the shore, his entire aura absorbed into his body, standing there like an ordinary person. Some ordinary grandmasters could not even detect the strong Sword Intent hidden within him. A gentle breeze slowly blew his clothes.
Suddenly, Li Changfeng opened his eyes, his whole being exuding a murderous aura like a sword drawn from its sheath. He swung the Yama Sword in his hand, unleashing a violent and domineering sword Sword Intent that split the entire lake in three breaths before it could reassemble, its power extremely strong!
Then, he unleashed a second, third, and fourth sword strike in quick succession, each strike extremely powerful, stronger than the last. Li Changfeng maintained this Sword Intent, splitting the entire lake apart for a quarter of an hour before it slowly merged back together.
Li Changfeng slowly sheathed the Yama Sword, a long-awaited smile appearing on his face. "I've finally entered the realm of Sword Intent!"
Li Changfeng can only unleash one-third of his sword's Sword Intent now. He maintains this one-third of his sword's Sword Intent and gradually strengthens it. Each strike will only become stronger and stronger until he reaches his limit.
However, don't underestimate this small third of the Sword Intent. This third of the sword Sword Intent is more than twice Heavy Sword, No Edge!
This is the Sword Intent that Li Changfeng can maintain. If the Sword Intent drawn is too strong, he will not be able to maintain and continuously strengthen the Sword Intent. He has only initially mastered the Sword Intent.
If he could maintain the full force of his Sword Intent strike, then his Sword Intent technique would have reached perfection. This was an idea that Li Changfeng had figured out during his practice!
