Absorbing energy is difficult, but using it is easy.
Li Xingkong fired several Shotgun Spell at the already cleared land. He had used this before; it was incredibly effective as a substitute for tilling the land. It was powerful, not only turning the soil deeply but also over a wide area. It could turn over an entire acre of land in just a few Shotgun Spell.
After a few spells, the ground beneath his feet changed color. The land, which had been uncultivated for years and had become hard and dry yellow soil, was turned yellowish-red by the Shotgun Spell.
It's more efficient to use magic. If it were a human, it would take several hours. Even if a machine came, it would only take ten minutes.
However, looking around, there were still dozens of acres of weeds to clear, which would be quite a lot of work.
Is there any magic that can help with weeding?
Having grown accustomed to the convenience of using magic, having him manually weed is indeed far less efficient than using magic.
After standing aside and thinking for a while, Li Xingkong had a new idea.
He found a rather nice-looking stick from the surrounding ground, about a meter long. If he were a child, this stick would have been his dream stick, because it could spark a martial arts contest among a dozen or so friends.
When we were young, who didn't dream of wielding a sharp sword and sweeping away ten miles of rapeseed flowers with a single stroke?
Li Xingkong has now embarked on cultivation. While thinking about how to weed, an image of himself as a child, randomly hitting things with a stick, inexplicably appeared in his mind.
At that moment, with a swing of the stick in my hand, I imagined it would unleash a Sword Qi that would slice through everything.
Upon this thought, an idea suddenly struck Li Xingkong.
Yes, now that he has Magic Power, using them as Sword Qi is a piece of cake.
The biggest problem with magical energy being outside the body is that it requires the assistance of Spiritual Qi to control it.
But once the Sword Qi leaves your hand, you don't need to control it anymore. As long as you shape the Magic Power structure well when you swing the sword, it will just be a Sword Qi as soon as it leaves your hand.
Although in terms of practicality, this thing is completely outclassed by Shotgun Spell in every aspect.
Its range is not as wide as that of Shotgun Spell, its distance is not necessarily as far, and its Shotgun Spell is also average.
But it's cool.
Does strength even matter? Being handsome is something that lasts a lifetime.
Especially at times like this, while Shotgun Spell are powerful, they're not very good at cutting; a single Shotgun Spell won't clear the grass.
With that thought in mind, Li Xingkong gripped the wooden stick in a sword-wielding posture, channeling his Magic Power into his hands, and fixed his gaze on a patch of land in front of him that had not yet been cleared of weeds.
"Get out of here!"
He lowered his body, swept his hand horizontally, and the wooden stick swept across his front like a sword.
Controlling the output of Magic Power, a winding sword Sword Qi shot out from the top of the wooden stick, but unfortunately, it only flew forward less than half a meter before dissipating into the air.
Although the triggering was unsuccessful, it wasn't without effect; the fact that it had an effect proves that his idea was valid.
He is capable of unleashing Sword Qi.
However, he still needs to make some adjustments to the shape and power of this Sword Qi.
Although adjusting the Magic Power structure was somewhat tedious, Li Xingkong enjoyed it immensely.
Interest is the best teacher. When a person is interested in something, they will completely ignore the difficulties and hardships involved.
Take writing a novel, for example. Some people can sit for a whole morning and not be able to produce 800 words, while others can write 4,000 words in an hour. Although there is a difference in literary skills, it is not significant. The biggest difference lies in two words: interest.
When you're interested, you can do anything quickly.
Li Xingkong used this field as his testing ground, taking a few steps every now and then and unleashing a Sword Qi, the power of Sword Qi was gradually increasing.
From initially only being able to let a few leaves hang down, to being able to cut down a jujube tree as thick as an arm with a single Sword Qi, it didn't take long.
They played around and messed with the weeds all over the place, making it take even longer to clean up this patch of land.
However, correspondingly, Li Xingkong had also mastered this sword Sword Qi.
This move is somewhat similar to the Greatsword Draw of the Sword Master in a certain DNF game. After Li Xingkong thought he had mastered it, he was eager to try it out.
He no longer bothered to clear away the weeds and debris scattered throughout the field; now, he was an invincible swordsman.
Li Xingkong slowly walked to the edge of another field and assumed a sword-drawing stance.
The surrounding air seemed to quiet down, completely still, without a breath of wind.
Li Xingkong's eyes were fixed only on the patch of weeds in front of him.
In his eyes, these weeds seemed possessed by demons, baring their fangs and claws, lunging at him.
The heavens and earth were solemn, the sun and moon were dim, and he was a chivalrous knight who had been caught alone in the siege of demons.
But he showed no fear; his gaze was unwavering, and a slight smile played on his lips.
"Come!"
With a swift swing of his sword, Sword Qi radiating brilliant white light rose from the ground.
The Sword Qi formed a ring, flying outwards and continuing to expand.
The horde of demons that had rushed forward were all cleaved in two and fell to the ground after the Sword Qi swept past.
The Sword Qi Sword Qi to sweep across the distance, five steps, ten steps, fifty steps, until it slowly disappeared after about eighty steps.
Once the Sword Qi dissipated, Li Xingkong, who was still posing in place, finally stopped and began to examine the results of his sword strike.
The effect was excellent. With this sword strike, the Sword Qi flew nearly 80 meters, and in the area where the Sword Qi passed, all the weeds and saplings were cleanly severed, as if they had been cut by a knife.
Not bad, the power is decent, and the key is that its cutting ability is very useful.
With the help of this Sword Qi, weeding will be like adding wings to a tiger.
Most importantly, this thing is so much fun! In modern society, there are very few places where you can let loose and have fun like this.
Let alone in the city, even in the village, he would have to avoid people if he wanted to use magic. It's nothing like how easy it is now.
As Li Xingkong swung his Sword Qi, streaks of sword energy were unleashed. What was originally thought to be a time-consuming and laborious task of weeding 50 acres of land was quickly cleared in less than half an hour by the Sword Qi energy.
But Li Xingkong clearly hadn't had enough fun yet; after weeding, he still needed to till the soil.
Shotgun Spell? Let whoever wants to play with them do. Now I'm the Great Sword Saint, and I'm going to use Sword Qi.
Firearms are barbarian tools.
Although he used Sword Qi to plow the land, the efficiency wasn't that much worse. After all, Li Xingkong's physical strength far exceeded that of ordinary people. Even if he used his bare hands to dig, it would be faster than several agricultural tractors.
Most importantly, cultivation also emphasizes a balance between work and rest. He has clearly encountered something enjoyable that allows him to relax, and if he's going to play, he should play to his heart's content.
Learning should be enjoyable, and playing should be enjoyable – this is the normal mindset for learning. Learning under forced control will only make people gradually lose interest in learning.
