“Have you finished looking through it?” asked Bennett.
James straightened himself and looked at Bennett who had a smile of delight on his face. He nodded and said, “Yes, I’m done.”
“Now, tell me what you’ve learned after reading it once.”
James contemplated for a momet and opened his mouth. “This swordsmanship technique is extremely profound. It’s not just a simple technique and can be divided into two parts. The first is swordsmanship, and the second is about using one’s energy to control the sword. The key is to be able to move at blinding speeds. One’s swordsmanship has to be rapid for the energy’s speed to increase in turn. The sword acts as a medium for True Energy to become Sword Energy. The Thirteen Sword Realms represent the Thirteen Sword Energies.”
James explained his understanding of the techniques recorded in the book.
He was not able to articulate everything precisely, but he had a rough grasp of the concept.
“That’s right.”
Bennett stood up with his hands crossed behind his back and said, “There is a prerequisite before you can practice the Second Sword Realm. That is, you must enter the fifth rank and have potent enough True Energy that will allow you to wield your sword energy. You also hit the nail on the head about the speed requirements and how it relates to the way you increase the speed of your Sword Energy.”
Bennett raised his hand, and an iron sword lying on a rock in the distance suddenly flew over to him.
Having caught the sword in his hand, Bennett’s aura changed drastically.
In that very moment, he looked like a martial god with an aura that threatened to dominate the world.
Suddenly, he moved and swiftly swung his sword in the air.
Whoosh!
Sword Energy morphed along with the sword, causing Thirteen Sword Energies to form beside the sword instantly.
James watched the display carefully.
Bennett was incredibly fast. Despite being at the peak of the fifth rank, James could barely follow his movements and only managed to see an afterimage of the dazzling Sword Energy.
“Your energy controls your sword, and your sword controls the Sword Energy. This prevents it from dissipating. Wherever you point your sword, the Sword Energy will strike. This is the ultimate sword technique,” Bennett explained as he moved as quick as lightning yet with the fluidity of water.
He stopped his movements in a position where his sword was pointed horizontally toward the distance.
Suddenly, Thirteen Sword Energies burst forth and hit an artificial hill a hundred meters away.
The ten-meter-tall artificial hill was immediately reduced to rubble on the ground.
“Did you observe carefully?”
James shook his head in a daze. “I-I couldn’t see clearly.”
