Chapter 179 - 179 Swordsman’s Three Realms (1)
The so-called “one with the sword” realm that Chu Kuangren mentioned just now was actually only the first realm of a swordsman and the beginning of the path of a swordsman.
There were a total of three realms for swordsmen.
The first realm emphasized on “being one with the sword in your hand and the sword in your heart”. At this realm, one could combine all their attributes through the use of the sword, causing each of their attacks to be an all-out attack!
The second realm paid attention to “the Enlightened Sword Heart, where the sword was absent in one’s hand but present in one’s heart.” At this realm, one was no longer restricted to the sword or objects. Plants, grass, bamboo, and rocks could be used as swords, and even flying flowers and leaves could injure people.
After reaching this realm, every attack of his could cause multiplied damage that came from the total attributes of his body. It was equivalent to every attack of his being a skill!
The third realm focused on “losing the sword in one’s hand and heart and suppressing others without martial arts.”
Lin Feng found it somewhat difficult to understand the last realm. Even in the teachings Chu Kuangren had imparted to him just now, there was only this one sentence.
Lin Feng thought for a moment. Could it be that the last realm meant that at this highest level, just by standing there, no one would be able to think of resisting?
How powerful was this? It actually made the enemy not even have the intention to fight.
Lin Feng was somewhat shocked. Then, he looked at Chu Kuangren. The other party said that he was half a swordsman. Then, what realm was the other party at?
When Chu Kuangren saw Lin Feng come back to his senses and look at him, he understood what Lin Feng wanted to ask.
He smiled and said, “Stop looking at me. Since I said that I’m half a swordsman, it means that I haven’t even reached the first realm.”
Lin Feng was somewhat stunned when he heard this. “Teacher… you’re not joking, right?”
Chu Kuangren laughed angrily. “Do I have to joke with you about such things? Also, do you think it’s easy to become a true swordsman?”
Only then did Lin Feng react. That’s right. Just the first realm of a swordsman, becoming one with the sword and integrating all attributes, seemed to be a huge hurdle.
“The first realm is becoming one with the sword. You need to integrate your various attributes. Just this step alone has blocked too many people. Otherwise, why would you have to have an SSS level talent to have a chance to become a swordsman?” Chu Kuangren explained to Lin Feng.
“This is because all SSS level talents are all-rounded professionals. Only all-rounded professionals can understand all their attributes better and better integrate all their attributes. However, SSS level talents are too rare.”
Lin Feng thought for a moment and asked, “Then Teacher, you’re not an SSS level talent, right? Then how many attributes have you integrated?”
At this point, Chu Kuangren said proudly, “Four. Other than my vitality, my other attributes have already been integrated.”
Lin Feng took a deep breath. Chu Kuangren said that he was half a swordsman, but to be precise, he could already be called a half-step swordsman because as long as Chu Kuangren integrated the last attribute, he would become a true swordsman.
Moreover, Chu Kuangren was not an SSS level talent!
“Then Teacher, in other words, actually everyone has a chance to become a swordsman?” Lin Feng could not help but ask.
Chu Kuangren shook his head. “That’s true, but do you know how long it took me to integrate the four attributes?”
Before Lin Feng could answer, Chu Kuangren said, “I spent tens of thousands of years to integrate four attributes, and I’ve been stuck on this last attribute for tens of thousands of years.”
Lin Feng’s heart was instantly in turmoil because Chu Kuangren’s words contained too much information.
First of all, it was not difficult to tell from Chu Kuangren’s words that Chu Kuangren was at least tens of thousands of years old. However, how many years of history did the human race on the Blue Planet have?
It had only been more than two thousand years since there were accurate records. It had to be known that it was only 2130 now, but Chu Kuangren was already tens of thousands of years old. What did this mean?
This meant that Chu Kuangren was not a human of this era!
The human race Lin Feng was currently a part of was not the first generation either!
In that case, where did those humans go in the era Chu Kuangren was in? Since Chu Kuangren was now in the Divine Realm, were the others also in the Divine Realm? Who created the Divine Realm?
There was also the most important question. Why had he transmigrated?
Lin Feng could not help but think of the divine level aura he had sensed in the boundary realm previously. Were those divine level experts from Chu Kuangren’s era? Was Xiao Yaozi among them?
“Not only that, but when integrating one’s attributes, the higher the attribute, the more difficult it is to integrate. Of course, this doesn’t mean that it’s much easier for ordinary people to directly choose to become swordsmen. This is because they can’t even understand and control various attributes at the beginning. How can they possibly integrate anything?” Chu Kuangren continued.
Only then did Lin Feng react. That’s right. Chu Kuangren had already spent such a long time and was still stuck at the last step of becoming a swordsman. Wouldn’t it be even more difficult for others to become swordsmen?
Chu Kuangren looked at Lin Feng’s shocked expression and smiled. “Alright, you can calm down now. You have to know that I didn’t even tell that kid Zhou Tiansheng about this.”
Lin Feng came back to his senses and nodded stiffly.
The information he learned today was indeed too shocking. Although Lin Feng wanted to know more, he also knew that Chu Kuangren would not tell him anything else.
