129: Chapter 108: Monstrous Genius, Conquering the Sword Master!_2 129: Chapter 108: Monstrous Genius, Conquering the Sword Master!_2 “Let’s drop the subject, it only adds to one’s troubles,” Sword Master Bi Xiao sighed and said, “However, as someone who has been through it, I must advise you that no matter how high your martial skills are, they’re useless.

You can’t beat an army, you can’t beat overwhelming power and influence.

Unless, you can reach the level of the Dragon Emperor.”

“Yes, thank you for the guidance, Sword Master,” Suo Lun said.

“What brings you to me?” the Sword Master asked.

“I wish to learn swordsmanship from you,” Suo Lun said.

“Why learn swordsmanship?” the Sword Master asked.

“To defeat Gui Qinshao,” Suo Lun said.

The Sword Master narrowed his eyes at Suo Lun, then nodded and said, “You have decent talent.

If you focus entirely on the Sword Dao, you might be able to defeat Gui Qinshao in about a decade or so.”

What Sword Master Bi Xiao said was based entirely on Suo Lun’s own bloodline talent and spiritual perception because, in this world, no one knew of Yao Xing’s existence.

Suo Lun coughed and said, “I…

In ten days, I will duel with Gui Qinshao to determine the winner.”

“Cough, cough, cough…” After hearing this, the Sword Master almost choked on his own saliva, breaking into a violent coughing fit.

Suo Lun hurried forward to pat him on the back.

Once the coughing subsided, Sword Master Bi Xiao pointed outside and said sternly, “Get out.”

If it weren’t for his status as a grandmaster, the Sword Master really would have flattened Suo Lun with a slap at that moment.

This damn fool, what does he think the Sword Dao is?

Starting from zero, he actually wants to defeat Gui Qinshao, who has been practicing swordsmanship for over a decade, within ten days.

Does he think all the sword practitioners in the world are idiots and useless?

Suo Lun said, “And the duel will use only swordsmanship without Dragon Force, to compare the ‘Disaster of Nine Swords’ sword technique.”

“Get out,” Sword Master Bi Xiao said.

“If you don’t leave now, I’m going to start hitting people.”

Although Calamity Nine Swords isn’t suitable for actual combat, it is the supreme sword technique for comprehending the essence of the sword; it’s the most difficult swordsmanship in the world.

Now, Suo Lun was actually claiming that within ten days, he could defeat Gui Qinshao.

Sword Master Bi Xiao, who considered himself to have unparalleled talent, also took a full three years to achieve a minor achievement with Calamity Nine Swords.

Because this sword technique is not about the surface movements or skills, but about understanding the internal meridians’ force fields and balance.

Fuming, the Sword Master said, “Get out, I have nothing left but the Sword Dao.

Whoever dares to defile the Sword Dao is my enemy.”

Suo Lun did not leave but instead kneeled on the ground, earnestly saying, “Please believe me, I am very serious, and I hold a sacred reverence for the Sword Dao.

I am even prepared to risk my life to learn this sword technique.

In real-time, I have ten days to learn it, but in the Spiritual Illusion, I may need three years, five years, or even more.”

At these words, Bi Xiao lowered the cane he had raised, astonished, and said, “Learn swordsmanship through Deep Meditation Skill?”

“Yes,” Suo Lun replied.

Bi Xiao looked at Suo Lun for a while, then shook his head and said, “That’s even more impossible.

Do you know whose exclusive domain the Deep Meditation Skill is?”

“I know,” Suo Lun replied.

“It belongs to the Dragon Temple, to those grand spiritual monks.

They think real-time is insufficient, so they enter the Spiritual Illusion Realm, slowing time down by ten times, twenty times, or even more.

Then, in the slowly ticking Meditative World, they study real-world problems.”

“Do you know how old I was when I finally learned meditation?” Sword Master Bi Xiao asked.

“I don’t know,” Suo Lun shook his head.

The Sword Master said, “I was fifty-nine.

Only after my beloved woman died, devoid of any worldly concerns, was I able to master the Deep Meditation Skill.”

Sword Master Bi Xiao continued, “What you spoke of, learning swordsmanship through meditation to defeat Gui Qinshao, is theoretically possible.

Because in the deepest levels of meditation, ten days can indeed become ten years.

However, in my current realm, ten days in the Meditative World is at most one year.

So, your so-called sword learning through meditation is a hundred times harder than defeating Gui Qinshao himself, understand?”

“I understand,” Suo Lun said.

Of course, he understood.

The Deep Meditation Skill was almost the most advanced method of cultivation in this world.

Only the top mental power specialists could achieve it.

Indeed, it was practically reserved for those grand monks of the Dragon Temple.

For Suo Lun to try and use the Deep Meditation Skill to defeat Gui Qinshao was like a dispute between two villages, where one decided to develop nuclear bombs to obliterate the other—a difficulty a thousand times greater than the conflict itself.

However, what was nearly impossible for others might be a piece of cake for Suo Lun.

Because he had Yao Xing!

If one needed to cultivate Dragon Force or amplify their own strength, meditation would be useless.

If, in a duel, Suo Lun were to use any other sword technique, he would undoubtedly lose.

Because even if he perfected the sword technique to the highest degree, if he wasn’t as strong or as fast as Gui Qinshao, even without Dragon Force, he would surely lose.

However, what Suo Lun spoke of was to duel with the swordsmanship of the Calamity Nine Swords, and moreover, without using Dragon Power.

On the surface, this seemed to hugely favor Gui Qinshao.

However, the characteristic of the Calamity Nine Swords was that the second move would definitely defeat the first, and the ninth would surely defeat the eighth.

This was determined by the intrinsic force field of the swordsmanship itself; the higher the level of the move one learned, the deeper the understanding, the certain the victory.

So as long as Suo Lun mastered the ninth move of Calamity Nine Swords, he would definitely win.

Otherwise, with his insidious intentions, how could he possibly propose a wager he couldn’t win?

What Suo Lun needed now was the guidance of the highest sword Dao grandmaster, and then, in the Meditative World, he needed to train and comprehend for five years, eight years, or even longer.

…

“Sword Master, it just so happens that I possess an extremely bizarre talent for meditation, allowing me to easily enter the deepest level of meditation.” Suo Lun said, “Thus, ten days in the real world can become five years, eight years in the Meditative World—I can do it.”

Sword Master Bi Xiao’s eyes widened as he hissed, “That’s impossible.”

It was absolutely impossible; the Deep Meditation Skill was the most profound and mystical training technique in this world.

Without decades of stringent refinement and reaching a state of utter indifference, like still water in an age-old well, one simply could not enter into meditation.

Thus, no one in this world could successfully learn Deep Meditation Skill before the age of forty.

Once someone did master meditation, their Sword Dao achievement would skyrocket.

Because, extending time by dozens or even a hundredfold in the Meditative World to comprehend the Sword Dao was incredibly overpowered and buggy.

Suo Lun didn’t speak, simply closing his eyes.

“Yao Xing, block out my mind, my spiritual power, everything from the outside world, any stray thoughts in my mind, and let me enter the Meditative World,” Suo Lun said.

“Yes,” Yao Xing replied.

Then it released a strong Dragon Power, spiritual power, completely shielding Suo Lun’s mind, and isolating him from the outside world.

Quickly, Suo Lun entered the Meditative World.

Following that, Yao Xing located those parts of Suo Lun’s brain that were emitting distractions, and again released spiritual power to block off this region of the brain.

Subsequently, Suo Lun entered a deeper level of meditation.

Bi Xiao reached out to check Suo Lun’s breathing, and then pressed on his heart.

The breathing got slower and slower, and the heartbeat followed suit.

In the end, he seemed as if he had died.

Because when a person enters a deep Meditative World, only part of the brain remains active, and almost all bodily functions stop.

Thus, the body’s energy consumption drops to a fraction, even to one percent, of its usual rate.

Hence, the heartbeat got slower and slower.

In the end, Suo Lun’s heartbeat was barely less than ten beats a minute.

This signified that he had entered a very deep level of meditation.

Sword Master Bi Xiao was completely shocked.

In this world, to have someone so young and to enter the Meditative World so effortlessly, and even deeply, without any drugs, any techniques, and just closing his eyes to meditate as simply as sleeping, like drinking water or eating food, was unheard of.

This brat was a genius, a one-in-a-century kind of genius.

Even his mere existence seemed unreasonable.

Suo Lun’s performance had completely overturned Sword Master Bi Xiao’s perceptions and thoughts.

Given this, Suo Lun learning the Calamity Nine Swords in ten days and then defeating Gui Qinshao could become reality.

Sword Master Bi Xiao looked at Suo Lun’s handsome, even bewitching face, murmuring to himself, “You, you are a freak of nature.”

Then, he gently patted Suo Lun and said, “Wake up, I’ll teach you ‘Disaster of Nine Swords’.

I am also waiting to witness a miracle from you.”
