Chapter 1070: 487: Evil Genius!

"No need, I’ve already memorized it all," Lanling said.

Dina had been about to demonstrate the first move of the Gale Style Blade Skill, but upon hearing Lanling’s words, she froze mid-pose with an expression of utter disbelief.

Though the Gale Style Blade Skill was simple and straightforward without any fancy flourishes, the angles of each knife stroke, including the blade angle and the tip angle, were extremely precise.

When Dina had earlier mentioned that it would take ten days to completely memorize the entire set of moves, it was already a great overestimation of his talent.

Yet, unexpectedly, Lanling claimed he had memorized it.

After a long while, Dina murmured, "How is this possible?"

Lanling said, "When someone has an exceptionally high spiritual talent, they can truly have a photographic memory."

Dina said, "Still, I must demonstrate and explain it. Even if the angles are memorized, the execution’s power still needs to be precise, as does how each part of the body generates force, and so on."

Actually, Lanling had not only memorized the angles but also the power behind each stroke.

This might sound incredible, as power is invisible and intangible, so how can it be memorized?

Indeed, it’s possible. By observing the speed of the strokes and the sound of the wind breaking, one can calculate the power.

As for how each body part generates force, that’s even simpler – by observing Dina’s body posture, one can tell which parts of her body are exerting force. Many subtle details can reveal this.

Lanling originally wanted to say there was no need, that he had already mastered it.

But that would create a sense of distance and dampen the enthusiasm, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

Then, Dina began to explain and demonstrate each move. Even though Lanling had said he’d memorized all the angles, she explained each one with crystal clarity.

After explaining the angles, she explained the power behind the strokes and which body parts to engage.

She spent a full three minutes on each move.

By the time she finished demonstrating all one hundred moves, five hours had passed.

Despite believing that Lanling wasn’t lying, Dina still found it hard to believe he had mastered the entire Gale Style Blade Skill in just one go. After the explanation, she handed a practice wooden knife to Lanling, saying, "Why don’t you give it a try?"

Lanling nodded, took the wooden knife, and stood in front of the wooden post.

He took a deep breath and then fiercely slashed out.

"First strike, second strike, third strike..."

Lanling’s blade moved like a whirlwind, swiftly slashing the wooden dummy in front of him.

Then, Dina watching from the side was completely astonished!

Because every move Lanling made was correct: the angles, the power, even the body parts exerting force were absolutely precise.

And the marks left on the wooden dummy were also impeccable.

At this moment, no words could truly convey the shock in her heart.

She was already a genius; in such a tough training environment, she became a Demon Warrior at merely seventeen and is now an Eight-Star Demon Warrior.

But in front of Lanling, she understood what true genius was.

A real genius invokes total shock, leaving one with only one thought: How is this possible?

Of course, due to the gap in cultivation.

Dina could complete a hundred moves at her fastest speed in just twenty seconds, while it took Lanling about three minutes.

After three minutes, Lanling completed the entire set of Gale Style Blade Skill.

Struggling to hide her amazement, Dina said, "That is truly... breathtaking!"

Lanling asked, "What’s next?"

Dina had originally planned to take ten days to get Lanling to master the entire sword art, but Lanling had grasped it in less than half a day.

Therefore, all the trials had to be brought forward.

Dina said, "Next, we’ll train for strength and speed."

She then walked up to the wooden dummy and said, "These two training methods are different. You saw me complete 3,600 strikes in an hour, executing the Gale Style Blade Skill thirty-six times. This was to practice power – not seeking speed, but ensuring each strike is delivered with full force, unleashing all the body’s energy."

Lanling nodded.

Dina continued, "Next, I’ll practice speed, watch carefully."

She spread her legs apart, knees slightly bent, gripping the knife with both hands, took a deep breath, and then slashed out fiercely.

Incredibly fast, the knife in her hand became a blur, transforming the Gale Style Blade Skill into the Ink Splash Blade Skill.

Extremely, extremely fast.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Lanling, standing beside her, could also feel a wild wind whipping around.

The sound of the knife striking the wooden dummy was almost continuous, sounding like a prolonged note.

Yet Lanling saw clearly that even at such a high speed, Dina’s every strike landed on the exact same marks, without any mistake.

One minute later.

The blustering whirlwind of ink splashes came to an abrupt halt.

Dina stood with her knife sheathed.

In one minute, six hundred and ninety strikes!

That’s to say, she chopped eleven times per second.

Truly incomparably fast.

Dina exhaled deeply and said, "When practicing speed, you can start with a lighter knife and gradually move to heavier ones. I have a complete set of wooden knives here, from light to heavy, all made for me by my foster father, and I can give them all to you."

"You’re lending them to me," Lanling corrected.

Dina said, "There are only two hours left until dawn. Do you want to sleep for a bit or continue practicing?"

Lanling replied, "You haven’t finished your ten thousand strikes yet, I will meditate at the side."

Dina nodded and said, "Today, I will make a wooden dummy for you to practice with."
