After grasping level one sword intent, Austin stopped practicing the Illusory Swordsmanship.
By practicing it, he mainly achieved two important things.
First, when he used this swordsmanship, he could shoot about fifteen beams of sword radiance. Each sword radiance required some vital energy.
Since Austin had mastered the Golden Sun Scripture, the vital energy in his body was much stronger than that of the cultivators on the same level. Furthermore, the vital energy stone in his elixir field stored huge amounts of vital energy which came from the Celestial Energy Ginseng.
Now he had enough vital energy to shoot fifteen streaks of sword light. However, in addition to vital energy, the cultivation was also based on the cultivator's degree of understanding and application of it. Hence, despite the fact that Austin could only shoot fifteen beams of sword light, the progress he had made was already considered remarkable.
After all, he had just begun practicing this swordsmanship skill several days ago.
The level one sword intent was the second achievement he gained from the swordsmanship.
Sword intent was not based on the cultivator's vital energy or his martial arts skill level. It totally depended on the cultivator's talent. Only if he was very gifted could he understand the intent of the martial arts skill, so it was impossible to grasp the sword intent by hard practice alone.
After summarizing what he had learned in the past few days, Austin suddenly heard Evan and Herbert shout outside.
That was when he realized that he had been cultivating for about four days straight already, without even eating or drinking.
Even so, he was delighted with the improvement he had achieved in the past few days.
He cleared his throat and said, "Come on in!"
Evan then immediately walked in the room, but Herbert was a little hesitant. He had only taken two steps when he suddenly stopped.
"Tin, are you sure we can come in? Is there no danger in the room?" Herbert asked.
Austin rolled his eyes.
Herbert cleared his throat to hide his embarrassment, and then eventually followed suit into the room.
"Tin, what kind of swordsmanship is you exactly practicing? It's so powerful! Just look at my head. You have shaved off a piece of my scalp! If I was unable to shrink my head in time, your sword would have sliced past my neck."
Recalling that moment, Herbert couldn't help but shiver with fear.
Austin said with a smile, "It's your fault. How could you break in when a cultivator was practicing! Don't forget this lesson and never make the same mistake again."
Herbert didn't protest, what Austin said was the truth. It was extremely dangerous for a cultivator to be disturbed when he was in the middle of practice. It might slow down his cultivation progress or, worse, disrupt his concentration which could cause a deviation of the energy flow in his body.
Fortunately, what Austin had been practicing was swordsmanship and not vital energy refining formula when Evan and Herbert broke in. Otherwise, his practicing progress would have been affected.
.. .. ..
"Sorry, Tin! We got too excited and totally forgot all about it."
Evan was clear about the severe consequence too. Seeing how serious Austin looked when he spoke, he realized that he and Herbert had been too rash.
"Well, forget it.
