Chapter 296: Techniques - 296
"Congratulations. You have finished the introductory training. I now believe that you bear the necessary will to fight Yao Mun." Tian Ren spoke.
Guang Fu stood in front of him silently and still. He listened closely.
"Next, we will focus on offense. This is the most necessary aspect to defeat Yao Mun. His sacrificial ability only increases his offense as far as we know. In terms of defense, he should be considered average at his level." Tian Ren explained.
"I will teach you three offensive techniques. Hopefully, you will be able to kill him with these before running out of protection. In the case that you do not kill him, or at the very least, incapacitate him, then I shall teach you a self detonation technique." Tian Ren added.
He looked for Guang Fu's reaction, but Guang Fu did not react.
"I understand that you may be hesitant to self-destruct, but I can assure you, if you cannot kill him before the emblem stops protecting you, he will kill you. That may be the only thing I can 100% assure you of in this mission." Tian Ren spoke.
"I have a question." Guang Fu interrupted.
"Speak." Tian Ren responded.
"I have amassed a good amount of contribution points and still have some spirit stones. In the case that I die, I would like this wealth to be split among the mortal villages throughout the Heaven world." Guang Fu said.
He knew that even .01% of his wealth would be enough to completely change a village.
"Specifically, I would like a couple villages to receive a lot, as well as protection paid for with the money." Guang Fu added.
Without protection, the money given would be useless. Any wandering cultivator could steal it on a whim.
After a moment, Tian Ren spoke.
"Fine. It shall be so." He said.
Hearing Tian Ren's confirmation, Guang Fu was even more resolved than before. Whether he lived or died, he would be protecting his people.
"Let's start." Tian Ren said as he created a sword from lightning Qi.
Guang Fu held his yellow sword that he had chosen on the first day.
"First, the light space cutting technique. This technique's true power, the ability to cut space, can only be shown at the space shattering realm, or the void traversing realm if you're talented. Despite you not having a space affinity, this is one of the three best techniques for your nascent soul realm self in terms of offense." Tian Ren explained.
"In the battle, this should be the second technique to be used, if the other does not work." Tian Ren added.
It was very likely that this would be the 3rd best offensive move Guang Fu would learn in the training session.
"Hold the sword high above your head and close your eyes. We will work on a quick release version of this move, but you first need to be able to actually use it." Tian Ren explained.
Guang Fu followed Tian Ren's words and held the sword high above his head.
"Next, input light Qi into the sword, but only the edge of the blade." Tian Ren said. "This is also where you would normally move space Qi, but you obviously can't do that."
Guang Fu followed his instructions.
"Since this is your first time, use your imagination to imagine the thinnest possible line. This is the line that your sword will shoot out."
Guang Fu did as he said.
"...Finally, bring your sword down and release the line." Tian Ren said after a few more complicated instructions.
Guang Fu kept the thinnest line he could imagine in his head as he swung the sword down and released his Qi.
A thin, almost unnoticeable line flew towards Tian Ren. Tian Ren did not move as the line hit him.
He was completely unaffected, but the rest of the line traveled past him and hit a wall of the mountain. There was no explosion, but a thin line only travelable by water was created.
"Good. You have reached the initial stage of the technique. Over the next few years, we will increase the line's power and speed, as well as its release speed." Tian Ren said.
Guang Fu nodded with anticipation.
Over the next twenty years, Guang Fu trained nothing but that single technique. His cultivation speed did not slow down since most of the time in a day was used to cultivate.
Only after those twenty years did Tian Ren decide to perform a final test.
"This test will show if you have mastered the technique as far as you can in your realm." He spoke. "Regardless of whether or not you have mastered it, we will move on."
"Now, attack!" Tian Ren yelled.
Before half a second had passed, Guang Fu's sword was down and a line was flying. It hit Tian Ren and did not affect him at all, but the power was much greater than the first time.
"Well done. We will call that mastery." Tian Ren said.
"Next, another technique. This one should be the last move that you use. That is because it will sacrifice your sword." Tian Ren spoke.
After his words, Tian Ren grabbed a random sword from the rack and held it normally.
"I made this technique and called it the sword explosion drill. Simply put, you will quickly launch your sword in a rotating fashion. When it reaches the target, it will explode." Tian Ren explained.
As he did so, his hand that had been holding the sword at his side flung up and launched the sword straight into the air at a speed that Guang Fu could not follow.
After reaching 100 miles in the sky, the sword exploded in a condensed fashion.
"This will be a surprise attack. It should be fast enough to hit Yao Mun, but aim well." Tian Ren said. "Naturally, we will not be using the swords on the sword rack for practice. They are quite valuable and bring no benefit that a weaker sword cannot in practice."
As he spoke, a mountain of swords twenty feet high appeared from his spatial ring.
"When all of these swords are gone, we will move on to the next technique."
