nHe paused.” The next step is to anticipate the enemy’s attack! Before the enemy’s attack arrived, you already knew the position of the attack and the actual situation. The deeper the realm of anticipating the enemy’s attack, the greater the advantage you had when fighting with the enemy.”

n“Anticipate the enemy’s preemptive attack…”

nChen Daoxuan secretly guessed the meaning of the other party’s words.

nIt was just that the phrase ‘anticipating the enemy and taking the initiative’ was too general. Chen Daoxuan could not understand the true meaning of this sentence at all.

nHowever, after the white-robed Daoist finished his instructions, he did not continue to explain. He just pulled Chen Daoxuan to fight again and again.

nFortunately, both of them were cultivators. Even if they could last for months or even a year in a battle of this level, it would not matter.

nTime slowly passed.

nTwo days later.

nAccompanied by repeated failures, Chen Daoxuan finally found something different.

nIn his sea of consciousness.

nHe could clearly” see ” the Taoist in white’s every sword that was about to attack him. After ” seeing” this scene, the pressure on Chen Daoxuan’s body suddenly disappeared.

nHe thought of the arrival of the gods and the first opportunity of the enemy.

nWith the two combined, Chen Daoxuan’s time under the white-robed Daoist’s hands skyrocketed.

nOne hundred swords, three hundred swords, five hundred swords…

nIn the end, as Chen Daoxuan’s realm of predicting the enemy’s first move became more profound, he found that he could actually fight back and forth with the white-robed Taoist in front of him, not losing to the other party at all.

nIn the training hall.

nThe two sword lights collided wildly, cutting through the air. Even the space around the two of them rippled.

nThe two of them fought from the sky to the ground, and then from the ground to the sky.

nThe two of them would sometimes separate and attack with flying swords from afar. Sometimes, they would fly together and fight in close combat.

nAny of the stones on the training hall would be left with a bottomless dent if they were hit by any of the sword qi.

nFortunately, this was the space of consciousness. No matter how much the two fought, the damage caused would be restored after the battle. Otherwise, after fighting for so long, the dojo would have long become a pile of ruins.

nAs Chen Daoxuan fought, his mood became better and better, while the white-robed Daoist’s expression became more and more solemn.

nAs Chen Daoxuan became more and more proficient in his sword sense and his ability to predict the enemy’s attack, he found that as long as the enemy’s attack did not exceed his endurance limit, he could block it.

nThe white-robed Daoist’s cultivation, realm, and magic tool were all exactly the same as his. Theoretically speaking, the other party could not take him down at all.

n“Boom!”

nThe two of them collided again, then flew apart and faced each other in the air.

nLooking at Chen Daoxuan in front of him, the white-robed Daoist finally revealed a trace of satisfaction in his eyes.”You passed.”

nHearing this, Chen Daoxuan’s face lit up.

nIn these three days, who knew how many times he had been abused by this white-robed Daoist.

nEvery time, he would defeat him with a few strikes, no more than ten strikes at most.

nThe two of them had the same cultivation and realm, and their magic tools were exactly the same. Logically speaking, such a situation should not have happened, but Chen Daoxuan could not defeat the other party.

nEspecially close combat!

nThe white-robed Daoist’s close combat strength was simply terrifying, completely subverting Chen Daoxuan’s worldview.

nAlthough he knew that with the enhancement of his body refinement cultivation, cultivators wouldn’t be too weak in close combat, he didn’t expect them to be so strong.

nAfter all, in his original opinion, no matter how powerful a cultivator was in close combat, how could they compare to a flying sword controlled by divine sense?

nOne had to know that flying swords were controlled by divine sense, so they were naturally in the realm of the sword.

nAnd in close combat, if one couldn’t completely unify their body, true essence, and spiritual sense, they simply couldn’t reach the level of the sword.

nIn this way, even if the upper limit of a cultivator’s melee attack was higher, it was difficult to say whether it could match a long-range attack.

nChen Daoxuan was originally inclined to not be able to win.

nIn his opinion, his melee attack limit was 60, and although his ranged attack limit was 55, his spiritual sense was much faster and more flexible than his.

nHow could a melee fight against a ranged fighter?

nHowever, the white-robed Daoist completely overturned his understanding.

nThe other party used an ironclad truth to tell him that divine sense was not necessarily faster than hand, there were even faster than divine sense.

nIn the brand new training hall.

nThe white-robed Daoist’s cold gaze softened a little, and then it returned to its cold state.

nHe waved his hand.

nA figure identical to Chen Daoxuan appeared beside him.

n“This is you from three days ago.”

nThe white-robed Daoist pointed at” Chen Daoxuan ” beside him and said,” Now, let’s see how big the gap between you and your original self is.”

n“Yes.”

nChen Daoxuan nodded eagerly.

nThe white-robed Daoist retreated to the side.

nThe “Chen Daoxuan” that he had conjured was the same as three days ago. He attacked with two streaks of starlight.

nChen Daoxuan, who was holding a sword with both hands, was extremely calm in the face of such an attack.

nClang! Clang!

nTwo crisp sounds rang out.

nThe two streaks of starlight returned to the original appearance of the Flying Snow Sword and the Cheng Ying Sword, and flew out.

nChen Daoxuan himself was relaxed as he walked toward the “phantom” in the distance.

nSeeing this scene, a hint of panic flashed across the face of the illusory Chen Daoxuan, but it was quickly suppressed by the other party.

nHe controlled the flying sword again and attacked Chen Daoxuan.

nThis time, the flying sword rippled with a faint layer of ripples. Clearly, the other party had already used the spatial sword intent.

nHowever, Chen Daoxuan still used two extremely precise strikes to send the flying swords flying.

n“Full of loopholes, too weak!”

nChen Daoxuan shook his head.

nIn the next moment.

nWith a flash of light, he flew toward the illusory body that was standing in the air.

nJust like him three days ago, the first thing the other party thought of was to escape and use his flying sword to stop Chen Daoxuan.

nChen Daoxuan waved his right hand, and the flying sword was accurately sent flying by him again. It was as if the illusory flying sword had collided with his immortal sword.

nNot only that.

nChen Daoxuan even borrowed the flying sword’s attack to increase his speed.

nThe illusory body was distracted by controlling the flying sword, so the speed of the flying light was already a little weaker. In an instant, Chen Daoxuan caught up.

nShua!

nIn the sky, a sword light flashed.

nThe illusionary body was obliterated into powder by Chen Daoxuan’s immortal sword. With Chen Daoxuan’s attack strength as high as 60, his four-layered flesh and blood body could not withstand it at all.

nHe flew back.

nOn the training ground, the white-robed Taoist saw Chen Daoxuan return and nodded.””This is your improvement over the past three days.”

n“Thank you for your guidance, Senior!”

nChen Daoxuan bowed and said sincerely.

nHe finally knew that the original him was actually so ” weak”.

nIt was said that after a cultivator reached the third level of sword intent, they were qualified to create their own sword scripture. Chen Daoxuan felt that if his original sword technique had reached this level, he would have been able to combine it with his sword realm and create his own sword scripture.

nAt that time, his strength would definitely soar again.

nA sword cultivator creating a sword scripture meant that he could unleash 100% of the strength of his current realm.

nOne had to know that no matter what kind of sword intent it was, under the same realm, there was actually no difference in power.

nThere was no such thing as a 2.7-fold increase in the power of the second level of the Rain Sword Essence, but the space sword essence that had just reached the first level had a 3-fold increase.

nThe reason for this was because…

nIt was because cultivators could not display the strength that their sword realm should have.

nAn inappropriate example.

nComprehending sword essence was like discovering a path.

nThe difference between the main sword intent and the branch sword intent was in the length of the path.

nHowever, the sword essences of the same realm had the same length.

nThe reason why the increase in power was different was because the sword intent that had just been comprehended was like a path that had just been discovered. However, it was not complete, but blocked and incomplete.

nThe self-created sword scripture was to remove all the blockages on this path and repair all the flaws until it was completely for his own use.

nIn other words.

nChen Daoxuan’s second level of Sword Essence of Rain had a great degree of blockage and incompleteness, while the first level of Sword Essence of Space had a much smaller degree of blockage and incompleteness.

nThis was also the fundamental reason why the power of the Rain Sword Essence was not as strong as the Space Sword Essence despite the difference of one realm.

nOnce Chen Daoxuan created his own sword scripture based on these two sword essences, it would mean that he had renewed these two paths and completely made the two sword essences for his own use.

nAt that time, the power of the Silk Rain sword essence would definitely increase exponentially.

nThis was also the reason why Zhou Mubai’s ranking on the Purple Prefecture Sons of Heaven Rankings soared after he created his own sword art.

nNormally speaking, a sword cultivator would only be able to do this when they reached the third stage of sword intent.

nThis was because it was usually only at this level that the accumulation of sword xiu would be enough for him to create his own sword scripture.

n“19769th participant, congratulations on passing this trial.”

nBefore Chen Daoxuan could react, the white-robed Daoist pointed at his glabella again.

nInstantly, countless information surged into Chen Daoxuan’s sea of consciousness.

nAs this information surged into his sea of consciousness, Chen Daoxuan felt a splitting headache coming at him.

nThe last time he had this feeling was when he received the Soul Setting Divine Light inheritance..
