The Biggest Secret!_2 131: Chapter 109: Learning Swordsmanship, Godspeed!

The Biggest Secret!_2 No wonder there was no so-called sword manual for this swordsmanship; it could only be passed down from person to person.

He was now highly doubtful about who could have created such a technique.

This person must be either a genius or a freak.

Suo Lun said, “I simply can’t remember it, because every repetition is different.”

“Exactly, that’s the Calamity Nine Swords,” Bi Xiao said.

“Otherwise, how could it be the most difficult swordsmanship in the world?

Because every repetition is different.”

Suo Lun said, “Although every time the surface moves of the sword seem different, the feeling they give is the same.

It’s as though a piece of music is being played with different instruments, or as if it’s played in different musical keys.”

“Right, so to learn the Calamity Nine Swords, one must comprehend,” Bi Xiao said.

“Merely learning the surface moves is useless; you must understand it with your heart and spiritual power.”

“How can I comprehend it?” Suo Lun asked.

Bi Xiao said, “First, find the core within the sword technique, find the pattern in these changes.”

Suo Lun asked, “Then how do I find the pattern in the changes?”

“Keep watching, keep watching, keep watching,” Bi Xiao said.

“Even though every repetition is different, it can’t keep changing forever.

In fact, this sword technique has a total of ninety-nine variations, and after ninety-nine variations, it begins to cycle again.

Now, I will perform all ninety-nine variations for you to memorize vividly.”

“Yes!” said Suo Lun.

Bi Xiao said, “Prepare yourself mentally, just memorizing these ninety-nine variations will take a very long time, and the lower your spiritual talent, the longer it will take.”

Then, Suo Lun concentrated all his spiritual power and watched Bi Xiao without moving.

And so, the demonstration was repeated, over and over.

Ninety-nine variations made one cycle.

After the ninety-nine variations had ended, four hours had passed.

If he continued like this, it would take at least three to five days to completely memorize all ninety-nine variations.

And Suo Lun had only nine days left.

After the first cycle of ninety-nine variations, Bi Xiao said, “I’ll continue to demonstrate the second cycle.

If your spiritual talent is high enough, perhaps you can memorize it completely in five days and find the pattern within it.

As for the remaining time, it may not be enough to fully learn this sword technique, even in deep meditation.”

“No need, I’ve memorized it all,” said Suo Lun.

Bi Xiao said in astonishment, “That’s impossible.

Even the person with the highest spiritual talent needs to cycle through several times to find the pattern, and the shortest time required would be four to five days.”

Could Suo Lun really memorize the ninety-nine variations in just one cycle?

Of course not.

But he had Yao Xing.

Yao Xing possessed a kind of forced memorization, just like a video recorder, which imprinted the entire scene forcibly into Suo Lun’s brain, then let him review it continuously.

It was as if the things a person’s brain couldn’t remember in one go could be stored at once on a computer hard drive.

After recording all ninety-nine variations of the Calamity Nine Swords, Suo Lun entered the deep level of meditation once again.

In the Meditative World, time was slowed down countless times.

He watched the ninety-nine variations of the Calamity Nine Swords over and over, again and again.

Dozens of times, hundreds of times, and finally, after more than half a month had passed in the Meditative World, he had completely memorized the ninety-nine variations.

Then, he began to sense the pattern of these variations.

This would take an even longer time, just like a large cluster of numbers in reality, thousands of them, appearing entirely disorganized at first glance.

But, after thorough research, one might discover a certain pattern hidden within.

Once that pattern was discovered, everything became clear.

It was as if one had grasped the codebook for telegrams, and no matter how difficult or complex the encrypted message was, it would be deciphered in an instant.

Comprehend, comprehend, comprehend…

Bi Xiao could have simply told him the answer, because the core of the Calamity Nine Swords did have a clear answer.

Finally, in the Meditative World, Suo Lun also closed his eyes.

He overlaid the shadows of the ninety-nine variations’ sword movements.

Then, he removed all the figures from the scene, leaving only the swords.

Next, he removed all the swords, leaving only the tip of the blade.

Nine moves, eighty-one styles, multiplied by ninety-nine variations.

This meant that the tip of the sword had pierced the air over eight thousand times, leaving more than eight thousand points in space.

When these eight thousand points were connected, they surprisingly formed a single character.

Upon seeing this character, Suo Lun’s entire body began to tremble.

From the depths of his heart to the top of his head, he was utterly horrified.

Because, the character is ‘Ling’!

Yes, it’s the ‘Ling’ from Lanling!

Is this a coincidence?

Or is there another reason?

The entire Calamity Nine Swords, nine moves, eighty-one techniques, ninety-nine variations, a full cycle, turned out to be a ‘Ling’ character written by the tip of the sword in the air.

Suo Lun immediately woke up from his meditation and said to Bi Xiao, “Is the core of Calamity Nine Swords simply about writing the character ‘Ling’?”

Bi Xiao nodded and said, “That’s right, you’ve only spent half a day and you’ve realized this—it’s truly astounding.”

Suo Lun’s voice trembled as he asked, “Who created this sword technique?

And why does it involve writing the character ‘Ling’?”

Bi Xiao said, “It’s a mystery; there is no manual for this sword technique, nor is it known who created it, or even how it was passed down.

All we know is that it’s the most flamboyant, as well as the most difficult sword technique, and it was passed down just like that.

But the person who created this technique made it so intricate and flamboyant, not as the primary goal.

It seems their purpose was merely to convey a single character to everyone—’Ling’!”

Suo Lun’s heart quivered violently once again.

Could ‘Ling’ be himself?

That can’t be right.

“No one knows the reason.

It’s the biggest mystery in the entire Martial Path World for over a thousand years,” continued Bi Xiao.

“No one knows what the creator of this sword technique really wanted to convey.”

Suo Lun asked, “Are there subsequent levels to this technique, like a second or third layer?”

Bi Xiao replied, “There are said to be, but…

they have been sealed by the Dragon Temple.

Only the first layer has been circulated so far.”

At that moment, Suo Lun’s entire being was shaking.

Could this all just be happenstance?

Or could it be that the creator of this sword technique was indeed trying to find him?

What were they trying to tell him?

And could the information they wanted to provide be contained in the second and third layers of the sword technique?

But no matter what, this mystery would have to wait to be unraveled later.

Right now, the most important thing was to learn the complete Calamity Nine Swords in the shortest time possible and then defeat Gui Qinshao.

Putting aside all other distracting thoughts, Suo Lun once again entered meditation.

Having already figured out the core pattern of the sword technique, he could now move on to practical training.

In the Meditative World, Suo Lun practiced over and over again.

And then he realized just how difficult and extreme this sword technique really was.

Because it was completely against biomechanics.

Every movement, every technique required understanding the inner flow of muscles and air, the inner sword intent first.

Otherwise, forcing it would lead to only one result—ruptured muscles and veins.

Suo Lun deeply felt that the creator of this sword technique had to be the most powerful genius in history, a genius ten times, a hundred times greater than Suo Lun himself.

Not to mention that they had hidden their message within the sword technique, but the key point was how incredibly difficult and intricately mysterious it was.

No wonder Bi Xiao had said that once someone mastered this technique, all other swordsmanship would be a breeze for them.

It’s also no wonder that, although this sword technique was not suitable for combat and was more fit for performance, it became the standard by which swordsmanship was judged—and why countless people went crazy for it.

Suo Lun reflected and practiced simultaneously.

Once, ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times, a hundred thousand times…

In the Meditative World, time rapidly flew by.

One month, half a year, one year, two years, three years…

The first move completed, the second move completed, the third move…

And in reality, days also passed by, one after another.

Suddenly, one day Suo Lun opened his eyes.

There was now just three days before his duel with Gui Qinshao.
