Chapter 343: Chapter 343: Asura Swordsmanship

"Boy, I see you’ve heard all this and still don’t have much of a reaction. You’re a bit ignorant in this regard, aren’t you?"

"When the Azure Dragon was alive, it was capable of performing Space Jumping Divine Abilities. Now, even though it has only a Dragon Soul left, in theory, this capability should still exist. Even if it’s weakened a bit, it will definitely manifest itself in your Demon Slaying Sword."

Ge Qing paused for a moment, then continued, "If this old man is not mistaken, once you repair this sword, it should possess the ability to tear through space."

At this point, Chu Feng’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

He was truly shocked.

He had not expected there to be so much to it.

It turns out that the inherent abilities of a Heavenly Divine Weapon are somehow connected to the capabilities of the Sword Spirit.

Items capable of tearing through space are extremely rare.

Because space is shadowless and formless, visible yet intangible. The space is as vast as your heart is. Trying to tear it apart is almost impossible.

Even for Sword God Level powerhouses, the idea of tearing through space is but a pipe dream.

If Chu Feng’s Demon Slaying Sword truly has this ability, that would be amazing.

In future battles against enemies or venturing into dangerous terrains to claim treasures, the ability to tear through space will definitely be greatly useful.

In combat with formidable enemies, a simple sword slash that tears through space can catch the enemy off guard, sucking them into a space rift. Or in some perilous places, tearing through space to make a quick escape.

Of course, this would definitely require a deep understanding of space!

"Alright, here are the steps for repairing it, as well as the required materials and techniques. You figure out a way yourself." Ge Qing tossed over the Repairing Method that he had written. Though it was a mere slip of paper, in Ge Qing’s hands, it seemed to possess a life of its own.

It deftly flew into Chu Feng’s hands.

This effortless technique of tossing, which displayed just the tip of the iceberg of Ge Qing’s immense strength, was truly remarkable. To make the light piece of paper fly accurately into Chu Feng’s hands without being shattered by Sword Qi required extremely adroit skills and techniques.

After receiving it, Chu Feng saw that it listed three steps: first to repair the sword body, then the internal talisman array, and finally the Sword Spirit.

The sword body is foundational, much like laying a solid foundation when building a house. If you don’t prioritize its repair, everything else is meaningless.

Imagine, if the foundation is not stable, and you start decorating the house above it. No matter how well you decorate it, it is useless. Because it might collapse at any time, turning everything into ruins, leaving nothing but debris.

Therefore, the first step is to repair the sword body.

This is also the most important task at hand to ensure that the Demon Slaying Sword does not sustain further damage during battle or, worse, get completely destroyed.

"The materials needed to repair the sword body can mostly be exchanged for at the Sect. You can give it a try!" Ge Qing gave Chu Feng another piece of advice.

"That’s fantastic, thank you, senior!"

Chu Feng was overjoyed, hoping that the twenty thousand Merits he had just earned could be exchanged for the needed materials.

Because many of the Sect’s higher-grade materials must be exchanged for Merits and are not for sale to the public.

Zang Jianfeng, that fool, must be crying himself into a faint in the restroom by now. The Merits he painstakingly accumulated over the years were all gifted to Chu Feng.

"Do you still want the Asura Swordsmanship?" Ge Qing presumed Chu Feng’s Merits to be few. Perhaps Chu Feng had just enough to exchange for that particular Sword Control Technique since Chu Feng had only joined the Sect for a year.

Earning that many Merits in such a short time was already quite a feat.

"Yes, of course I want it!" Chu Feng still had 500,000 silver taels, so he could just donate silver to exchange for Merits. Even though this was somewhat uneconomical, it could be done.

After all, that silver came easily.

"Since you already know which cultivation technique you need, there’s no need to go back in. Just wait!" Ge Qing immediately found the original version of the Asura Swordsmanship and then transmitted the technique to Chu Feng.

...

Transmitting the technique was not troublesome and was quickly completed.

Having acquired the Asura Swordsmanship, Chu Feng couldn’t wait to start learning it. Unlike the Sky-reaching Sword Cultivation Skill, it merely teaches you how to control the sword to ensure the strongest killing power is unleashed.

Both techniques involve slashing with a sword, but without using the Asura Swordsmanship, you could at most cut through one steel plate. If you use it, you could cut through two steel plates, or even three.

You really don’t know until you learn, and it’s a shock when you do.

I never imagined that sword control could be more complex than expected. It involves multiple elements.

Channeling Sword Qi to wield a Divine Weapon is only the most basic. However, even this basic aspect is very profound. For example, when using the sword for defense, you need to time it precisely so that all of the Sword Qi flows to the point of impact at the exact moment your treasure swords clash.

That way, you can ensure that the limited sword Qi erupts at the point of impact, thereby greatly enhancing your defense.

Similarly, when attacking an enemy, if you channel the sword Qi too early and reveal the sword light prematurely, it’s wasted.

Calculating the right moment to burst forth with Sword Qi just as you are about to strike the enemy can double the efficacy of your attack.

Moreover, generally speaking, a Sword Cultivator’s sword meridians will have at least three channels.

This means that there are also at least three channels of Sword Qi that can be activated.

The power unleashed by consecutively activating three channels of Sword Qi versus activating all three channels at once, is different.

If you make the three channels of Sword Qi spiral as they surge into the sword, the destructive power of the sword light can be further enhanced.

...

In short, this Sword Control Technique contains countless methods and tricks that need to be honed continuously in actual combat, after learning them, to truly apply what has been learned.

How to use Sword Qi to better wield a Divine Weapon is just the basics.

The more advanced techniques involve infusing Evil Qi and Killing Aura into the sword body and sword light, significantly increasing the sword light’s lethal power. That is the core of the Asura Swordsmanship.

Chu Feng had just cultivated the Condensing Evil Secret Technique and had also been afflicted with the Ancient Demon Death Curse, so he needn’t worry about lacking enough Evil Qi.

Wherever he went, he was like a moving Evil Qi gathering array, automatically drawing it in.

After refining it with the Condensing Evil Secret Technique, it could be transformed into Evil Qi that could be used automatically.

"Having learned the Asura Swordsmanship, my combat power could at least double. My chances of winning against Qiu Tai in a spar have also increased." A gleam of wisdom flashed in Chu Feng’s eyes.

Due to only having a few short hours, it was impossible to elevate his Cultivation Realm.

Practicing this kind of auxiliary Combat Skill was actually a very good choice. It could be mastered in a short time.

After leaving the Sword Pavilion, Chu Feng didn’t immediately return to his residence but went to the Sect’s shop to exchange for materials needed to repair the Demon Slaying Sword.

"Hey, Brother Chu, you’re here! Please come in!"

The shop attendants, who are usually quite aloof, greeted Chu Feng with smiles and bows from a distance. This tremendous change was something that Chu Feng still found hard to adapt to.

If it had been in the past, they probably wouldn’t have given Chu Feng a second glance.
