Chapter 266: Don’t Dare to Say That I Understand Everything

“There’s such a genius?” Yang Quan was slightly stunned.

A soul pet comprehending a soul skill was actually nothing.

After all, soul beasts of the ancient era could comprehend so many soul skills and inherit them generation after generation.

Modern soul pets’ intelligence had greatly increased, so it was not impossible for them to comprehend their own soul skills.

But could this Magnetic Sword comprehend such skills at such a young age?

Yang Quan felt another blow.

“You really only know a little about the Sword Dao?” Yang Quan felt that it was definitely because of Wang Che.

He was just being modest.

“The path of the Sword Dao is like the vast starry sky with billions of shining stars. I can only see the stars that are available to me,” Wang Che said. “I don’t dare to say that I understand everything.”

After all, he had not even transcended the Heavenly Tribulation in the end.

Yang Quan immediately felt respect for him.

“With those words, I feel that your cultivation in the Sword Dao is definitely above mine. I’ve learned something! My horizons were too narrow.”

“You’re welcome.”

Although Yang Quan was very arrogant, he was very talented at sword cultivation.

As expected of the son of the Edgeless Heavenly King.

“If there’s a chance next time, I hope to spar with you personally,” Yang Quan said.

“This…” Wang Che thought about it, “There’ll be a chance.”

Yang Quan nodded.

At this moment, Principal Gu and the Edgeless Heavenly King walked over together.

This meant that the speech was about to begin.

Yang Quan walked to the side and arrived beside the Edgeless Heavenly King. He was silent.

The Edgeless Heavenly King nodded slightly, feeling very satisfied.

Seeing that he was obedient and immediately restrained himself after the loss, the effect was obvious!

Wang Che also walked down.

The little caterpillar was still reading the storybook and was very engrossed.

When the Magnetic Sword won just now, it looked up for a moment and immediately continued reading.

“Brother Wang, our second soul pet hasn’t even been born, but your Magnetic Sword has already been trained to a thousand years?”

Kong Shijin covered his eyes and said, “My first soul pet has just reached the thousand-year level. Your Magnetic Sword is even faster than our first soul pet.”

Most of the new soul pets in the first year of agriculture had just broken through to the thousand-year level.

After reaching a thousand years, the breakthrough every hundred years would be slightly slower than before.

By two thousand years, if it wasn’t a rather difficult-to-nurture soul pet, it would probably need two months.

Typically, only in their second year could they nurture a two-thousand-year soul beast.

Because the second thousand years was also a hurdle that would be stuck for months.

If it was a rather difficult soul pet to train, such as the Glazed Green Luan or a King-ranked soul pet like the Heaven Slaying Sword Dragon, after reaching a thousand-year soul power cultivation base, the difficulty of training would increase greatly and the speed would be much slower.

Shen Mingluan’s Glazed Green Luan had just broken through two thousand years ago.

Wang Che estimated that the little caterpillar should only break through to two thousand years by the winter break at the end of the first semester of university.

After the students of the agriculture major planted their own soul plants, the resources would rise much faster, and the speed of soul pet cultivation would greatly increase.

Normally, when third-year students started training, the fourth-year students would train very quickly.

After graduation, if there was a ten-thousand-year soul beast, it would be very outstanding.

This was the Forest Academy.

If it were other top university students, the speed at which they trained their soul pets would be faster and the competition would be even more intense.

Perhaps some top university genius students might be able to train a two thousand year soul pet as soon as the first semester ended.

“I contracted the Magnetic Sword earlier.”

Wang Che smiled and said, “Moreover, when the contract was signed, the Magnetic Sword had a soul power cultivation of several hundred years. Yang Quan is quite strong. Moreover, I heard that he cultivated alone and did not enter any academy.”

“No matter how he cultivated alone, he’s still a disciple of a Heavenly King,” Yun Feimo said. “The resources are definitely different from ours. However, your Magnetic Sword can actually increase your soul power cultivation by so much. Defeating the Heaven Slaying Sword Dragon in one move feels very ridiculous.”

“How does it usually cultivate?”

Everyone was curious.

“It’s not a big deal. It can temper the body with lightning.” Wang Che thought for a moment and said, “The Thunder Soul Earth is filled with lightning. The Magnetic Sword is rather special. It can absorb lightning to temper itself. It’s much stronger than ordinary Magnetic Swords.”

“After returning from the Thunder Soul Earth, it has improved greatly.”

The few of them understood and pondered.

Some of them had actually guessed this explanation.

Wang Che explained the basic principles of the Divine Sword Lightning Control Scripture and did not speak nonsense.

“Alright, alright, listen to the Heavenly King’s speech!” Shen Mingluan smiled and said, “Not every Magnetic Sword is so special.”

Everyone nodded. They suppressed the shock in their minds and looked at the Edgeless Heavenly King in the center.

This was the first time Wang Che had seen the Edgeless Heavenly King.

From the appearance, it was a serious-looking middle-aged man.

He was wearing a black robe with white hair at his temples. There was a faint smile on his face and there was no sharpness in his brows.

He looked very casual.

‘Power over technique, the heavy sword has no edge.’

Wang Che nodded slightly. This Edgeless Heavenly King’s sword force was restrained, and his sword intent was hidden in his body. He was smooth and natural.

His Sword Dao cultivation should have already reached an extremely high level.

He stood there calmly without giving off a sharp aura. His every move looked casual, but he emitted a faint aura.

Everyone’s gaze involuntarily landed on him.

The content of the speech was quite interesting.

In conclusion, there were only a few words regarding the content of the Edgeless Heavenly King’s speech:

How should Contract Soul Masters cultivate themselves?

This was actually a very broad topic.

Humans could help soul pets train, develop various training plans, and develop various soul skills.

How could humans cultivate?

How could he become stronger?

Cultivating a martial soul was the most direct and fundamental way to increase one’s strength.

However, other than cultivating his martial soul, how could he improve himself?

The Edgeless Heavenly King did not mention anything about the battle just now.

He walked up to the middle stage and gave a simple introduction before starting the speech.

“We can increase our strength by cultivating our martial souls. However, other than cultivating our martial souls, how can we Contract Soul Masters increase our strength?”

“How can our bodies become stronger? Martial souls are a powerful force, but most of the time, if we’re not powerful enough, no matter how powerful a martial soul is, it can’t unleash its strength.”

“This so-called strength is not only in the body, but also in the mind.”

“I believe you’ve all learned the Soul Guiding Skill to cultivate your mental strength and soul power.”

“Then, how should we cultivate ourselves in daily life?”

The Edgeless Heavenly King explained.

“I cultivate the sword. Before I awakened my martial soul, I began cultivating sword techniques. In the beginning, I was only doing odd jobs in a Dao Arena.”

“I still remember that Dao Arena. It’s called the Heart Sword Dao Arena. It mainly trains sword-type martial souls. At the same time, the Dao Arena only recruits Contract Soul Masters with sword-type martial souls. When I was twelve, I knew that my parents did not have any sword-type martial souls.”

“But I liked swords. Later, in high school, I joined the Dao Arena and became a cleaner.”

“I watch those Contract Soul Masters use their martial souls to cultivate sword techniques every day.”

“At that time, I didn’t know what martial soul I would awaken. However, I thought that even without a sword martial soul, I would still need to cultivate sword techniques.”

“Therefore, I began to create a wooden sword. I began to cultivate my swordsmanship day after day, year after year. Every day, after school, I cultivated my swordsmanship. Every day, I would swing my sword 500 times.”

“In the beginning, it was very difficult to swing the sword a hundred times a day. I spent half a year barely reaching the level of swinging the sword 500 times a day.”

“When the Contract Soul Masters in the Dao Arena saw that I was so obsessed with the Sword Dao, they kindly dissuaded me at the beginning, saying that if I didn’t have a sword-type martial soul and didn’t awaken a sword-type martial soul, cultivating sword techniques like this would be useless.”

“At most, it could make you stronger than usual. Later on, they couldn’t be bothered.”

At this point, the Edgeless Heavenly King smiled and said, “I began to think that they were right, but I still persisted. It can’t be helped. I like to train in the sword.”

“It was not until the second semester of the third year that I felt that my swordsmanship had improved greatly. This was because I discovered that I could clearly see the situation when the Contract Soul Masters in the Dao Arena were practicing their swordsmanship. I could see all their moves clearly.”

“I even had one of the three illusions of life that I could defeat them.”

Many students smiled.

Wang Che listened quietly.

The Edgeless Heavenly King was talking about his own story, so it was definitely true.

All speeches were like this. With their own true stories, it was easier for people to develop feelings for each other.

“You might think it’s funny. I thought so too.”

At this moment, the Edgeless Heavenly King touched his wrist slightly and took out a wooden sword from his spatial soul device.

He gently waved his hand forward. There were no soul power fluctuations coming from his body.

A strange sword force seemed to condense in the air.

The space froze slightly.

However, the next moment, a sword scar more than ten meters long appeared on the ground in front of him.

Many students were stunned, then looked at the sword marks on the ground in shock.

He did not use his martial soul or soul power.

It could produce such a terrifying sword mark with just a light strike?

This…

After waving it, the Edgeless Heavenly King retracted his wooden sword and said,

“But later on, I did defeat a Contract Soul Master with my sword technique.”

“I trained in swordsmanship for three years and didn’t stop for a day. In those three years, soul pets and Contract Soul Masters under a hundred years couldn’t beat me. That year, I used this wooden sword to win the championship of the Enlightenment Cup when school started in the second semester of third year.”

“I didn’t use a soul pet.”

At this point, the Edgeless Heavenly King changed the topic, “Therefore, I want to tell you that in order to become stronger, other than cultivating our martial souls, we ourselves are also a treasure. Martial souls can allow our human combat strength to reach the limit.”

“But we also have our own limits.”

“I’m not asking you to train in the sword like me. You’re not interested in practicing sword techniques either. What I want to say is that you can train yourselves according to your own interests and hobbies. While cultivating your martial soul and training your soul pets, you can train yourself.”

“As a Heavenly King, I can teach you a breathing technique that’s used for daily training. Unlike the Soul Guiding Skill, which is used to cultivate soul power, this breathing technique can strengthen your control over yourself. It won’t make you stronger or increase the cultivation speed of your martial souls.”

“However, it can help you train better.”
