Chapter 74: Chapter 38: Be a Human, Not a Ghost! (Revised)

Bing Shangxue also gave a wry smile, speaking gently, "Fang Che, to put it simply, your entire foundation, no matter what aspect you cultivate, is exceptional, and it automatically transforms into the perfect direction without any adaptation."

"That is to say, if you choose the saber, then as you cultivate the saber, your channels, qualifications, and innate talent will all transform into an Innate Tao Bone, an Innate Heavenly Blade Body. This is the utmost extreme physique for sword training!"

"And it’s the same with sword training."

"If you train with the spear, then naturally your whole body will automatically morph into that kind of unstoppable sharp formation."

"After evaluating and analyzing you, we only realized after summarizing your recent cultivation for three days..."

Bing Shangxue’s eyes blazed, "You are actually dabbling in the four great king weapons of Sword, Spear, Saber, and Halberd!"

Fang Che was shocked.

He suddenly looked up.

He truly hadn’t expected that the gaze of these four instructors would be so penetrating!

He was just beginning, following the Infinite Scripture’s accompanying training in Sword, Spear, Saber, and Halberd, and had not been training for long.

And he hadn’t shown it.

Yet these four instructors, through various performance analyses, had seen through this.

To think that even Fang Che himself, and even stronger beings from his past life, couldn’t detect it under the cover of such a perfect Cultivation Technique!

One can only marvel, a Gold Medal Instructor is indeed a Gold Medal Instructor!

The saying "each has his specialty" really does make sense.

"Sword, Spear, Saber, Halberd, the top four of the Cloud Weapon List."

At this point, Li Changkong’s face darkened slightly.

As everyone knows, the ranking of Sword, Spear, Saber, Halberd has now changed to Spear, Sword, Halberd, Saber.

Wei Wo Zheng Sect’s White Bone Shattering Dream Spear Duan Xiyang has already taken the top spot.

Sword of Love Breaking is now second.

Thinking about this, it felt like a heavy stone was pressing on his heart.

Li Changkong composed himself before continuing, "The four great king weapons are difficult to master. So our suggestion is to choose one to specialize in."

Fang Che furrowed his brow, "What does the instructor mean?"

"Based on our evaluation of your talent, if you fully dedicate yourself to Martial Arts and aim for the stars with single-minded focus..."

Li Changkong’s lips moved slightly, he hesitated to speak.

Duan Zhongliu and Bing Shangxue, along with Bao Feiyu, all signaled him with their eyes not to continue.

But Li Changkong still hesitated for a moment, then said, "If you give it your all, at levels below Martial Elder... you can manage... two to three."

Fang Che frowned and silently nodded.

"But for higher levels, you need to specialize in your destiny weapon."

Li Changkong solemnly said, "Although none of us have reached that level, some theories can be imagined. For instance, Shattering Dream Spear Duan Xiyang, Sword of Love Breaking, Snow and Flute, Senior... At their level, it’s a return to the basics."

"A spear is just a spear, a saber is just a saber."

"Their battle, if seen from the front, seems no different from ordinary martial masters’ moves; but the various forces of heaven and earth, various spatial turbulences, and various vortices... are all cancelled out by each other."

"To put it more clearly, do you think Snow and Flute Senior and Duan Xiyang really only use a saber and a spear in their whole lives, and not anything else? That’s impossible, right? Their mastery in other weapons must also be at the peak!"

"But, if Duan Xiyang uses a saber against Snow and Flute with the Sword of Love Breaking, Snow and Flute, even within three moves, can defeat Duan Xiyang!"

"In other words, if Snow and Flute uses a spear against Duan Xiyang, then Duan Xiyang, with the Shattering Dream Spear, could even kill Snow and Flute within a single move!"

"Do you understand now?"

Li Changkong asked.

"I understand!"

Fang Che slowly said, "Thank you, Instructor."

"What did you understand?"

"I understood, even if there are myriad paths in front of me, there’s only one path that belongs to me."

Fang Che slowly said.

"Yes."

Li Changkong showed a relieved smile.

"So if you want to practice multiple weapons, we don’t object, but you must choose one as your destiny weapon!"

"And that, you decide on your own, you don’t need to tell us. For example, if you choose the saber, while also practicing the Spear, Sword, Halberd, you can normally use the sword, keep the other two as your trump card, but nobody knows that your saber is the ultimate killer!"

"And if you switch your destiny weapon to any other weapon, it’s the same."

"This can be your own secret, the four of us don’t need to know."

Li Changkong said seriously, "Remember, it’s a secret that belongs only to you."

Fang Che nodded repeatedly.

Bing Shangxue clenched her teeth and added, "Fang Che, remember this phrase."

Fang Che said, "What phrase?"

"Jianghu is perilous, with invisible enemies; once your destiny weapon is out, it’s a matter of life and death!"

Bing Shangxue gritted her teeth and whispered this phrase that was even somewhat taboo.

"Secrets can only be known by yourself! No matter who you face!"

Fang Che’s face became serious, "I have remembered!"

He stood up, bowed deeply, "Thank you, four instructors!"

Bing Shangxue and others all smiled with relief.

This method of cultivating a hidden trump card is the perfect path to cultivation, but very few can achieve it.

Everyone knows that always hiding your ultimate move is the best way in Martial Arts.

But not everyone’s talents are so astoundingly brilliant.

The so-called trump card must be revealed when one’s strength is inferior to protect one’s life.

But once revealed, exposed, there is no trump card left.

Not everyone possesses Fang Che’s exceptional talent.

It’s too difficult!

Even geniuses like Mo Gan Yun and Ding Jie Ran absolutely cannot achieve this cultivation of a hidden trump card.

"But you must remember, the so-called trump card, ultimate move, is only applicable before reaching the Martial Elder stage!"

"Once you surpass that level, the opponents you face will almost all have a sharp, discerning eye and hiding your strength and backup plans becomes a joke. It’s easy to be counter-killed by an opponent weaker than yourself if they are fast enough, even preventing you from using your ultimate move."

"Yes, student remembers!"

"Of course, that realm is far from you, even we have not reached it; it’s just a future concern, when you actually reach that level, you will naturally remember. At that realm, against an uncertain enemy, always remember this phrase: even when a lion fights a rabbit, it uses all its strength."

"I’m just setting down these words in advance; you will naturally remember them when the time comes."

Li Changkong spoke gently.

A sense of respect arose within Fang Che.

This Gold Medal Instructor, who claims not to take disciples or act as a mentor but only as an instructor, was now imparting a life-saving teaching that would benefit his students for centuries to come.

He had even considered his students’ survival centuries into the future.

"Thank you, Instructor! I will engrave the Instructor’s teachings in my heart for life."

Bing Shangxue stepped forward, helped Fang Che to his feet, and gently straightened his collar, softly saying, "Fang Che, you are a good student. The teacher only hopes that in this life... do not waste your youth, do not waste your life as a person, no matter when, where, or the environment you’re in, always remember..."

She paused for a moment, softly saying, "To be a human, not a ghost!"

"To be a human, not a ghost!"

Fang Che muttered the phrase, deeply moved.

The four instructors, despite knowing his identity was suspect, had not changed their intentions towards their students.

In fact, they were even more enthusiastic.

They were striving to help their students walk the right path; for those students who went astray, upon seeing the signs, their first actions were to desperately pull them back!

Even if it took all their strength and they still couldn’t fully bring them back, they wanted to leave a piece of beautiful bond in the students’ hearts, not allowing them to be completely consumed by darkness.

Fang Che understood completely.

Thus, he was genuinely moved.

"To be human, not a ghost, the student remembers. Forever remembered!"

Fang Che solemnly promised.

Li Changkong smiled, breaking the somber mood; he did not want Fang Che to feel like he was being preached at because of Bing Shangxue’s words.

That sort of feeling was quite deadly.

So, some words were better left mentioned only briefly.

"Fang Che, you practice the Sword, Spear, Saber, Halberd because of the four masters of the Cloud Weapon List, right?" Li Changkong asked.

"Yes."

Such a thing was too obvious, no need to deny.

"Then do you know why it is only the Cloud Weapon List, and not the Cloud Masters List?" Li Changkong’s gaze shimmered as he asked.

"Ah? There’s such a distinction?"

Fang Che was truly surprised.

He had never heard such a thing in his previous or current life.

"Of course, the Cloud Weapon List is just about the mastery of weapons; each selected weapon is outstanding and ranked in the list. However, a Masters List cannot be established because no one can accurately measure each master’s energy. Especially in a world so vast, there are too many masters who avoid the world and never show themselves, not to mention meeting and competing."

"So... the Cloud Weapon List alone proves nothing."

"Like our Guardians, the predecessors who founded the Guardians are also still alive."

"Like the True Sect, do you not know that there must be a Sect Hierarch if you don’t know anything else? Is Shattering Dream Spear Duan Xiyang the Hierarch?"

A jolt as if struck by lightning went through Fang Che: "No."

"So why isn’t Shattering Dream Spear the Hierarch?"

Li Changkong asked.

"Because, he’s not as strong as the Hierarch!"

Fang Che let out a breath.

This issue, so evident, yet he had never considered it before.

Including the countless people in the world who acknowledged Shattering Dream Spear Duan Xiyang as the number one master of the True Sect.

Yet everyone had overlooked that the True Sect must certainly have a Hierarch.

And this Hierarch, must be a presence greater than Duan Xiyang, to make Duan Xiyang willingly submit and bow!

Li Changkong sighed, "Yes, so Shattering Dream Spear Duan Xiyang is only the chief of the True Sect."

Fang Che’s voice was somewhat strained as he said, "Who is the Hierarch of the True Sect? Does Instructor know?"

......
