The Raindrop Scripture was based on the meaning of 'water droplets pierce through stone'.
The sword technique was dense and endless, like the rain falling from the sky. The sword was like a downpour, making it difficult for the enemy to dodge. And when it came to defense, it was even more impenetrable…At the same time, when thousands of raindrops gathered in one place, they could erupt with an extremely terrifying power. Even ordinary raindrops could penetrate stone, and the power condensed by the raindrops formed by each sword was naturally invincible.
"This [Raindrop Sutra] is indeed profound.”Ning nodded, then picked up the second book, the [Big Dipper Secret Manual].
The " Big Dipper Secret Manual " was a part of the legendary " Big Dipper Sword Manual ". It was divided into seven sword styles, namely, the seven styles of Dubhe, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Epsilon, Mizar, and Waving Light. These seven sword styles all had the power to trigger the fourteenth chapter of the stars, like the Waving Light Greedy Wolf Sword that was filled with a monstrous fiendish aura, or the gentle Tianquan Wenqu Sword...
The sword technique was mysterious and unpredictable, and it was both offensive and defensive.
"Good swordsmanship." Ning sighed in amazement as he read, then picked up the third abridged book.
[Thunderflame Sword Remnant]. This was a book that the ancestor of the Ji clan had acquired by chance when he was wandering the vast lands and training himself. It had been burned to the point where only a small portion of it remained. The name of the book was indistinguishable, and only two words could be made out: Thunderflame! And among the sword techniques, only three complete sword techniques could be found.
Each attack was an attack, and when it was unleashed, it was as if thunder and earth had collided. In terms of offensive power, it was unquestionably the number one sword art of the Ji clan! Just the three remaining sword techniques alone were able to rank among the top five sword techniques. Clearly, this unknown complete sword technique…was definitely far superior to the other four sword techniques.
However, although its advantages were obvious, its disadvantages were also very obvious. Because it was an incomplete move…there were only three moves, so it was not coherent. At the same time, the three moves were all offensive moves, and there were no defensive moves at all. How could an expert not have a defensive move in battle? Therefore, very few people chose this sword technique.
"I really want to see the complete version of the Thunderflame Sword.”Ning couldn't help but sigh. The Cage
"If it's the complete version." The nearby Yichuan said," This will be the undisputed number one Immortal Fiendgod secret art of Swallow Mountain.”
Ning nodded, then picked up the fourth abridged book.
Strictly speaking, the << Illusion Demon Book >> couldn't be considered a sword technique because as long as one comprehended the true intent of << Illusion Demon >>, they could similarly execute Illusion Demon Saber Technique, Illusion Demon Spear Technique, Illusion Demon Staff Technique…It was a set of extremely sinister and powerful Immortal Demon secret techniques that used illusions to conceal the true technique. The enemy would often die before they could even see clearly.
This set of wondrous techniques walked a sinister and bizarre path.
"This doesn't suit my personality." Ning was the first to reject the [Illusion Fiend Book]. Choosing a secret art that suited one's taste was very important. A sword-art that completely contradicted one's personality…no matter how profound it was…it would be twice the effort and half the effort required to train in it. Ning naturally rejected it.
"Mm. This final book was also the foundation of our Ji clan.”Ning flipped through the [Melody of Ten Thousand Swords].
The [Melody of Ten Thousand Swords] could be said to be the most complex of the five sword-arts. It was far more complex than the [108 Swords of Tiangang and Earthfiend] which Ning had once trained in. However, although it was complex, if one truly mastered it, the [Melody of Ten Thousand Swords] could be refined into three major sword-arts:[One Sword, Ten Thousand Shadows],[Ten Thousand Swords Return to One], and [Melody of Ten Thousand Swords].
……
Ning closed his eyes as he pondered.
In terms of grandeur, the most complicated, or perhaps the simplest, was the Melody of Ten Thousand Swords.
In terms of being sinister and mysterious, it was the << Fantasy Demon Book >>.
On the most moderate, should be "Beidou Secret Book."
In terms of defense, the strongest was the Raindrop Sutra.
In terms of attack power, the most mysterious one was the [Thunderflame Sword].
"First, I'll get rid of the Demon Fantasy Book. It doesn't match my nature!”Ning pondered."The [Big Dipper Secret Manual] is a part of the [Big Dipper Sword Manual]. In terms of offense, it isn't the strongest, in terms of defense, it isn't the strongest, and in terms of exquisiteness, it isn't the strongest…it's mediocre in every aspect, but it's not bad in every aspect. But in a battle between experts, the advantage is extremely important! The Big Dipper Secret Manual was also rejected.”
"There are only three books left. The 'Melody of Ten Thousand Swords',' Waterdrop Sutra', and 'Thunderflame Sword Fragment'.”
"The Raindrop Sutra is a must!" Ning pondered.
The Raindrop Scripture was like an endless rain. It was the most defensive of the five sword techniques.
Defense was even more important than offense in a fight!
In his previous life, Ning had watched many sports competitions. Those boxing belt winners, mixed martial arts champions, and so on were all extremely skilled in defense and evasion. Even in football and basketball, there was a saying that defense was the best. The offense looked beautiful…but the real victory still depended on defense.
Different types, but the logic was the same!
In a life and death battle, defense was equally important. When faced with an opponent stronger than oneself, the one who was killed could only try his best to defend. If one's defense was strong, there was a chance of survival. As for those who had stronger attacks, once they encountered an even stronger opponent and their attacks could not deal with the other party, they would be finished.
"Defense is to protect your life. He had to protect his own life first before taking the lives of others. Moreover, this is the ultimate art that my father relied on to become famous. With my father's guidance, my progress will be even greater. This Raindrop Sutra is a must-have.”"As for the [Thunderflame Sword] and the [Melody of Ten Thousand Swords]…"”
"Yes, the [Thunderflame Sword]!" Ning quickly made his decision.
If an ordinary person could only use a single sword, Ning would probably choose between the [Raindrop Sword] and the [Melody of Ten Thousand Swords].
However, since he was a dual-wielding sword user, he already had the [Raindrop Sword] for defense. In that case, he would choose the [Thunderflame Sword], which had the strongest offensive power. The [Thunderflame Sword] had a flaw in that it didn't have any defensive sword moves, but to him, it was a dual-wielding sword, so it wasn't a flaw at all. And since he had already chosen the Raindrop Sutra, he was also eager to have a powerful killing move.
"[Raindrop Sutra] and [Thunderflame Sword].”"The [Raindrop Sutra] is extremely skilled in defense. Although the [Thunderflame Sword] is only a remnant of the three techniques, it is an incredibly powerful killing technique.”
"In addition, my [Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens] has Divine Lunar Tattoos and Divine Solar Tattoos. Once I break through to the Xiantian level, I'll be able to control fire and water. Water corresponds to the [Raindrop Sutra], and fire corresponds to the [Thunderflame Sword]. I believe it will also be helpful to my sword art.”
"Defend, we have to defend it flawlessly!"
"Attack, attack like a volcano erupting!
"I have two swords, one for defense and one for offense. Or defend with both hands. Or attack with both hands. Everything is up to the heart!" Ning's mind was filled with countless thoughts. He had an incomparably clear idea of his future battle path. He knew very well…that only by having a clear path for his future growth could he avoid detours and grow faster!
In war, strategy was more important than tactics.
For personal growth, there was a saying that the path was more important than hard work.
With a clear route, he would advance a little every day. In ten to twenty years, he would reach a high point. And without a clear path…if one blindly worked hard, it was very likely that one would be walking on the same spot, or even regressing instead of advancing!
……
He spent more than two hours carefully reading through the five abridged books. The candle, which was as thick as an arm, had already burned halfway. Yichuan and Snow were still waiting, occasionally whispering to each other.
"Father, Mother." Ning suddenly said.
"Hmm?" Yichuan and Snow both turned to look, and Yichuan said," Have you chosen?”
Ning nodded.
"Ning 'er, what did you choose? One or two?" Snow asked.
"I chose two." Ning picked up the two abridged books."One is the [Raindrop Sutra], and the other is the [Thunderflame Sword].”
"Raindrop Sutra? Thunder Fire?" Yichuan nodded slightly. As the number one expert of the Ji clan of the West Prefecture, he, who had never had any outstanding battle achievements since his son was born, was an even greater deterrent. This was because no one knew how powerful the current Yichuan was…but it couldn't be denied that ten years ago, Yichuan had already been the number one expert of the Ji clan of the West Prefecture.
How sharp was his vision?
"Yes, sure." Yichuan nodded.
"Father, please give me some pointers." Ning said hurriedly.
"No rush." Yichuan shook his head." I do have some insights into the [Raindrop Sutra], but you've never trained in it. Even if I told you about it, you wouldn't be moved. Only after experiencing many life-and-death battles and training will I be able to truly move you.”
"Tomorrow morning, I'll give you the entire [Raindrop Sutra] and [Thunderflame Sword]. When the time comes, you can practice it in front of me. As long as the sword technique and posture are not wrong, it will be fine.”Yichuan nodded." Three days from now, you will begin your true battle. The usual sparring sessions are too gentle. You need to engage in a true battle of life and death.”
Ning was puzzled.
"Father, didn't I experience slaughter?”Ning couldn't help but say,"Back then, when you were certain that my sword-arts had reached the first level and that I had established my foundation, you were still in the same state as me. Didn't you ask me to fight some death row prisoners and kill a lot of them?”
He still remembered the first time he had killed someone. His entire body had trembled uncontrollably. Although he was not afraid, he could not help but tremble. According to what his father had said…apart from a few people who were born to kill, most people would act like this when they killed someone for the first time.
He had calmed down after killing dozens of death row prisoners.
"What you did wasn't killing, but training your courage.”Yichuan shook his head." You fought against some condemned prisoners, and all of them were weaker than you. How could this be called a life and death battle? Three days later…I will arrange for you to fight with real demonic beasts. They are all powerful demonic beasts that have reached the peak of the Houtian realm.”
"Demon?" Ning's face changed.
"Those imprisoned yao will go crazy for food and survival, and they won't show any mercy.”Yichuan looked at his son." In an enormous cage, fighting one-on-one with a monstrous beast. This is a 'cage battle' that all the important disciples of our Ji clan must experience. These disciples of the Ji clan who have received the best training, roughly half of them, have died in the cage.”
Half?
Ning was shocked, but he quickly calmed down. He knew that in this land, the women of the tribes and some of the slaves were very fertile, but the population hadn't changed much in the past several thousand years. Why? It was because countless tribes had to fight against the heavens, the earth, the great demons lurking in the mountains, forests, and lakes, and even other tribes in this cruel environment. Only a small number of them survived! Even if they were born into the Ji clan, they would still have to go through cruel trials, and those who survived would have to be elites.
It was precisely because the members of the Ji clan were all extremely powerful that the Ji clan was able to shake the world and become an overlord!
