Chapter 1922
"On the contrary, the fact that you can force me to draw my sword proves that you are very strong."
Ye Li gently shook her head, untied her high ponytail, and let her long black hair cascade down like a waterfall, gleaming softly under the lights of the training ground.
"Although I suppressed my elemental energy level to the peak of Star Radiance, I only used the Wind Law and the first level of the Destruction Law."
She tilted her head slightly, a strand of black hair slipping from her shoulder, adding to her cold and aloof beauty. "But, after all, I am an immortal being."
The same first law, but the power I unleash on it is completely different from the power you unleash on it.
She paused, her red lips slightly pursed, as if carefully choosing her words, before adding:
"If it were me at the peak of my star power fighting you back then, I might not be able to beat you."
Xu Jingming was taken aback, never expecting that this aloof senior sister would evaluate him in such a way.
Ye Li's eyes flickered slightly as she looked him up and down, then she continued:
"Your combat strength is formidable, and your mastery of lightning and the laws of destruction is exquisite, but..."
She frowned slightly, a hint of doubt appearing between her willow-leaf-shaped brows: "You've studied too many different things."
The elementalist's ranged bombardment, the martial artist's close combat—which path will you choose?
This was precisely what surprised her the most.
Having already learned such a wide variety of skills, Xu Jingming was still able to master all of them to perfection.
If someone specializes in just one area, how strong would they be?
I want them all.
Ranged attacks are effective against groups of enemies, while melee attacks excel at one-on-one combat.
Different situations call for different fighting styles.
Xu Jingming grinned.
"Oh?"
Ye Li raised her eyebrows and her red lips curved into a faint smile. "This road is not so easy to walk."
You're only at the Star Rank right now, so there aren't many combat skills you need to master, and it's not too difficult yet.
Once you reach the Star Realm and the Cosmic Realm, you'll find that there simply isn't enough time, and it's difficult to manage both simultaneously.
She crossed her arms, which accentuated her full curves beneath her black battle suit, but her tone remained aloof.
"I have confidence in myself," Xu Jingming said with a smile.
joke.
As long as there are enough source points, he will not encounter any bottlenecks.
"Speaking of which, what path do you take, Senior Sister?" Xu Jingming looked at her with some curiosity.
"At our level."
There isn't much difference between the two approaches; the only difference lies in how the rules are applied.
Ye Li said softly, "If I had to say, I would say that I take the path of a martial artist who focuses on close combat."
"I guess so."
Looking at the black longsword hovering behind Ye Li, Xu Jingming was not surprised.
"Your marksmanship is good, but you haven't reached the level of 'gun intent' yet."
If you reach this level, your close-quarters combat will become even stronger.
Ye Li carefully looked Xu Jingming up and down with her beautiful eyes.
Martial artists are different from elementalists; the most important quality for a martial artist is physical strength!
As a peak-level immortal being, she had seen countless geniuses.
Xu Jingming's physique was the strongest she had ever seen in the Star Radiance Rank.
Moreover, the other party has not yet cultivated the "Source Core Secret Manual". If he succeeds in cultivating it, Xu Jingming's physique will be further strengthened!
Xu Jingming's only weakness in the martial arts path at present is his poor marksmanship.
"Gun intent?"
Xu Jingming was taken aback. "What is that?"
"It's hard to explain to you in words."
Upon hearing this, Ye Li gently raised her hand, and the black longsword slid into her palm like a swimming fish.
The moment she closed her fingers, the entire training ground fell into absolute silence.
The chirping of insects, Ye Li's breathing, and even the sound of air particles moving thirty kilometers away all disappeared.
Xu Jingming's pupils suddenly contracted.
He didn't sense any sign of Ye Li using elemental energy or laws!
"Okay."
Ye Li gave a soft shout.
As the sword was raised, it left an invisible trail.
The moment the sword tip reached its highest point, Xu Jingming felt every cell in his body frantically sending him warnings!
Even though the sword was still hanging several meters away, he felt a sharp pain in his throat as if a blade was pressed against it.
"This is......?"
Xu Jingming's Adam's apple bobbed as he realized that swallowing had become difficult.
"This is intention."
Ye Li's sword tip turned slightly, and countless sword marks suddenly appeared in the air!
"It is not a law, not primal energy, but a resonance between you and your weapon."
She suddenly swung her sword backhand, and the black blade blurred and disappeared during the strike.
Instead, there were 327 cyan sword beams that seemed to pierce through the heavens and earth!
Xu Jingming felt a chill run down his spine.
Those sword beams, seemingly chaotic, precisely avoided every single strand of his hair.
The nearest sword beam grazed past his earlobe, but did not harm him in the slightest.
"The same applies to the intent of the spear."
Ye Li sheathed her sword, and all the strange phenomena vanished instantly:
"Your marksmanship is good; you've clearly put in the work."
But you should have noticed that marksmanship is just marksmanship; it's the application of various weapon techniques.
After reaching perfection, all skills are integrated and mastered, but one cannot go any further.
The next stage in marksmanship is to comprehend the 'intent of the spear'.
As Ye Li finished speaking, Xu Jingming felt utterly shocked.
Perhaps it's because his original teacher, Lu Wen, and his senior brother, Jess, both followed the path of elementalists.
So he had no idea that above marksmanship, there was actually a realm of marksmanship intent!
"Generally speaking, regardless of the type of weapon, one begins to come into contact with it at the Star Rank."
You're at the peak of your career right now, so it's not too early to get involved.
The academy's secret manual repository contains three manuals: "An Introduction to Spear Intent," "The Difference Between Law and Intent," and "Weapon Resonance."
You have 50 points as a reward for clearing the Star Abyss Death Realm.
These three manuals aren't expensive for you; you can buy them for around 20 points.
With these secret manuals, you should be able to grasp the essence of the spear within a century.
Ye Li pointed it out.
Xu Jingming then came to his senses and felt somewhat embarrassed:
"I've used up most of my points, so I guess it will be a while before I can buy these manuals again."
"It's gone so quickly?" Ye Li was somewhat surprised.
"I'm planning to go to the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Realm. I've used most of my points to buy equipment."
Xu Jingming explained.
"Going to the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Realm? I definitely need to upgrade my equipment."
Ye Li raised her hand to open her smartwatch, operated it briefly, and then spoke:
"I transferred 30 points to you. You can pay me back whenever you have extra points later."
hum~~
Xu Jingming's smart arm guard vibrated slightly, and sure enough, he received a message that 30 points had been credited to his account!
"Thank you so much, Senior Sister!" he quickly said.
This Senior Sister Ye Li appears cold as ice, but she is actually warm-hearted beneath her cold exterior.
"You're welcome. I also hope you can improve your strength as soon as possible."
Ye Li turned around, her long, slender legs swaying as she walked out. "Let's go. I'll guide you through the cultivation of the 'Source Core Secret Manual' next."
Seeing this, Xu Jingming quickly followed.
