Chapter 317 Yumin's Sword (Part )

At that time, there was even a sensational article among sword practitioners called "The End of the Sword Way". The author believed that the ultimate sword technique was about to appear and would soon be learned by everyone. By then, the competition between sword practitioners would become completely open, and the game would no longer exist. Winning or losing would depend entirely on who made a mistake first. She quoted classics, elaborated her views in detail from various angles, and successfully gained a large number of fans.

But just one year later, the author was slapped in the face. Sword practitioners soon discovered that the sword techniques that seemed to be becoming more and more similar could not be integrated in the end, and there was no such thing as a "sword technique to end all sword techniques". If two sets of such sword techniques were randomly selected for competition, and neither side made mistakes, the probability of either set of sword techniques winning was about 50%, and the reasons for winning were completely random, with no pattern to follow.

The unwilling sword cultivators conducted tens of thousands of tests, but apart from making the probability of winning each sword technique closer and closer to 50%, they did not obtain any meaningful results. Finally, they finally realized that the chaos effect had never disappeared, and its shadow always existed. The Ziwei algorithm could only solve a large number of rounds at a very fast speed, but it did not mean that it could nail the future on the tip of the sword.

Therefore, the competition among sword practitioners naturally turned to another direction - calculation speed.

When two sword cultivators compete, even if they use the same set of sword moves, the one who solves faster has a significantly higher chance of winning. This is very intuitive, because faster solving speed means being able to solve more options in the same amount of time, which means she can always choose the option that is better for the overall situation, and thus gradually overwhelm the opponent in one move after another.

Therefore, from this moment on, the importance of sword intent was elevated to an unprecedented level.

Sword intent is essentially an algorithm, of course, it often contains some "redundant" information that is completely irrelevant to the solution, but that the sword cultivator himself considers important. In the process of learning swordsmanship, sword intent will accumulate little by little in the sword cultivator's mind and naturally take shape. Therefore, everyone's sword intent is different. Some people's sword intent is simple and pure, some people's is extremely complicated, and some people's sword intent is even pieced together and extremely weird.

However, there is no direct correlation between the form and effect of sword intent. According to the experience of sword practitioners, as long as they persist in studying sword skills, sword intent will eventually achieve similar effects after a long period of accumulation and refinement. Some calculation speeds may be slightly faster, and some may be slightly slower, but this difference is so small that it can almost be ignored compared to the differences brought about by the quality of sword skills.

But now, there is no longer any distinction between good and bad swordsmanship among sword practitioners, and that slight difference in sword intent has become the key to determining victory or defeat.

But unlike sword moves and sword techniques, sword intent cannot be constructed directly. People named it "intention", which does contain the meaning of "it can only be understood but not expressed in words". But after a lot of attempts, sword practitioners came up with a method of cultivating sword intent by "feeding moves".

That is a method that uses a series of specially selected sword moves as materials, and allows sword practitioners to practice repeatedly in a certain order. After millions of sword moves, the sword intent may change in the desired direction. Although this change is still very random, and even the same moves have completely different effects on different people, almost everyone is doing it because it is the only method known to the people of the universe that can optimize the sword intent.

Until the Witch King's death, the fastest sword intent among the people of Xingzhou Yu appeared in Tang Yue's body, which was one of the important reasons why she could become the number one sword cultivator.

Contrary to what most people think, Tang Yue's swordsmanship is neither simple nor beautiful, and has nothing to do with words like exquisite and rigorous. If one has to describe it, it would probably be "ugly and weird" and "incomprehensible."

But it does work, and its solving speed is the fastest among starships.

Part of this sword intent has been infused into Tang Li's body. In the past few months, she has been learning how to use it. Now, it is finally time to actually use it.

Tang Li closed her eyes and concentrated on sensing the life furnace in her body. This should not be an organ possessed by a witch, but she not only had the blood of a witch, but also the blood of the people. Every citizen of the world had a life furnace, which was the source of life and the foundation for their cultivation.

A burning sensation appeared deep in the lower abdomen, which meant that the life furnace had begun to operate. Under the guidance of consciousness, the heat flowed to the back of the body, then extended up the spine and climbed upwards. When it reached the position between the two shoulder blades, it stopped rising and slowly flowed into the heart.

That was the part where the sword intent was stored. The life furnace supplied energy, and the energy drove the sword intent. Tang Li raised her hand and clearly felt something as if it was real coming out of her fingertips. She put her fingers together to gather the scattered sword intent and gathered it into an invisible sword. Then she swung her arm down, and the sword intent penetrated the bulkhead unhindered, crossed the sea of ​​clouds at a very fast speed, and disappeared on the eastern skyline. That was the direction of the "Herok" supply ship and the "Hyperion" whaling ship. A thousand nautical miles away, on the flat and wide deck of the supply ship, the crew were turning the crank hard.

"Open the cargo hold covers! Open all the cargo hold covers immediately!!"

At the urging of the first mate, the heavy steel plates slowly slid open to both sides, and a huge rectangular opening appeared on the originally flat deck, exposing the cargo hold at the bottom.

Suddenly there was a cry of surprise among the crew.

They never knew that in the largest cargo hold in the middle of the "Hurok", there was such a huge object lying.

"what is that?!"

"It's a sword...right?"

"A sword that's several dozen meters long? Wouldn't the person using it be a giant?!"

"I heard that it was the weapon of the second mate on the 'Moby Dick'. As for whether she was a giant or not, I don't know..."

"Ah! It seems to move!"

The discussion of the people stopped abruptly, and everyone stared at the warehouse below, where the huge sword was shaking, like a beast about to wake up, the heavy sword body hit the floor of the warehouse, making continuous noises. The amplitude of the vibration became larger and larger, and finally, the giant sword weighing dozens of tons slowly floated up.

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, the long sword slowly turned its direction, with the tip of the sword pointing obliquely towards the western sky. A few seconds later, the huge sword body suddenly disappeared. When everyone reacted, it had turned into a small dot on the horizon. After another moment, the loud sound of the sword blade breaking through the ether wind came from the distance.

……

Tang Li could clearly feel the magic power continuously flowing out.

Flying a sword requires energy, and for Yumin's sword practice, this energy comes from the life furnace. But she is only half Yumin at most, and the other half is the blood of the witch. When she tried to control the sword for the first time, a witch contract was automatically generated on her wrist. From then on, she could use magic power instead of the energy of the life furnace to drive the sword given to her by Tang Yue.
