After handing the Time Character to Ying Liexiong, Ye Chen began comprehending the Guard Character.
Ye Chen had already grasped seventy to eighty percent of the Guard Character's essence. Only the final twenty to thirty percent remained. Once he comprehended that portion, the Guardian Sword Stance would also reach the level of a perfected supreme defensive sword technique.
Within the Guard Character's strange space, the figure practiced defensive sword arts over and over. Each time it performed a defensive sword art, Ye Chen gained new insights.

Previously, when Ye Chen used Apex Decay, the Colorful Sword Light formed a massive sphere of light to protect him. Now, when he used the Guardian Sword Stance, the Sword Light changed from tangible to intangible, from colored to colorless. Yet once someone entered the range of the Guardian Sword Stance's sword momentum, they would lose control of themselves. Sword force surged everywhere, making it impossible to distinguish truth from illusion. It was ten or even a hundred times stronger than the enormous sphere formed by the Colorful Sword Light.
