CHAPTER 193: CHAPTER 297: TRAINING WITH WEIGHTS?

The "Strangulation" sword technique is certainly used as a killing move.

Only when encountering a formidable foe, or in a scenario requiring a fight beyond one’s level, is it a choice to risk everything. But if one uses such a killing move whenever meeting any somewhat strong opponent, it inherently doesn’t make sense.

Previously, Wang Junze did not encounter a terrifying genius like Jing Yuan, but rather a situation needing a level-breaking challenge, so the sensation wasn’t as strong.

But now, upon entering the Profound Moon Sword Sect and ascending the Sword Tier, Wang Junze gradually realized this point!

The Profound Moon Sword Technique is indeed a highly superior swordsmanship, so what if facing a disciple of the Profound Moon Sword Sect?

If the opponent also mastered the Profound Moon Sword Technique, then does it mean that even against opponents of the same tier, under such circumstances, the only way for him to risk it all is by using "Strangulation"?

If it’s just a one-on-one duel, Wang Junze is confident in claiming victory, but where are there so many opportunities for single combat?

If using "Strangulation" to risk everything becomes the only choice, then it only indicates that there’s a problem with his cultivation of the Sword Dao.

The Chess Swordsmanship, as such an outstanding Sword Dao legacy, shouldn’t have such huge flaws, so... it must be that there’s a misjudgment in his understanding of Chess Swordsmanship!

In that moment, countless thoughts flashed through Wang Junze’s mind.

Even the scenes of breaking through the Sword Array in the relic and Ascending Sword Mountain, and dueling with various Yijian Sect disciples, reappeared in Wang Junze’s memory.

Resolving sword techniques!

When he challenged in Sword Mountain back then, Wang Junze understood that the sword techniques of Chess Swordsmanship seemed to be just five moves, but in reality, they were ever-changing, requiring adaptation to different circumstances.

Wang Junze has been doing just this, whether initiating the game, making moves, or layout; these three swords have been evolved and split into many sword techniques by him.

Following this thought process, could not the sword technique of "Strangulation" itself also be decomposed?

When risking everything, explode with full force, but in other times, split the sword technique, sacrificing power to exchange for more frequent and simple minor explosions?

This of course is a thought process too, but Wang Junze vaguely feels that the solution isn’t just limited to this.

Because truly resolving and even ending sword techniques like "Strangulation" is exceedingly challenging.

At least with Wang Junze’s current strength and understanding of the Sword Dao, he fundamentally can’t achieve it.

So, he could only think in another direction.

Learn from the myriad schools, study the swordsmanship of the world...

Ye Piaoling’s words of advice to Wang Junze flooded back, causing a sudden stirring in Wang Junze’s heart.

The cultivation of Chess Swordsmanship is not only about the techniques themselves but requires studying more swordsmanship. Therefore... maybe one shouldn’t restrict their thinking to just the sword techniques of Chess Swordsmanship.

For example, to defeat an opponent cultivating the Profound Moon Sword Technique, it doesn’t necessarily mean using Chess Swordsmanship. What if one uses the Profound Moon Sword Technique against the Profound Moon Sword Technique?

The cultivation of Sword Dao should naturally be a gradual process.

At this moment, limited by strength, Wang Junze can’t make a breakthrough in Chess Swordsmanship, so he might as well temporarily set it aside and fully devote his thoughts to cultivating the Profound Moon Sword Technique. Once he truly comprehends the Profound Moon Sword Technique and then returns to resolving it, wouldn’t it be much easier?

Ye Piaoling said long ago that mastering Chess Swordsmanship is incredibly difficult, and to become truly successful, it’s even harder, possibly taking a lifetime to reach the peak of the Sword Dao.

This is also why Ye Piaoling said he shouldn’t be limited by sect and should join other sects for cultivation when given the chance.

Upon this realization, Wang Junze’s heart suddenly brightened!

No matter how gifted, cultivators inevitably encounter some bottlenecks in their journey.

Only through continuous practice and accumulation can one possibly break through bottlenecks and achieve new breakthroughs!

This is the true meaning of cultivation!

Refusing to face this difficulty head-on, only thinking about shortcuts, represents being trapped in a stubborn mindset.

Buzz!

The sword in his hand once again slashed out, yet this time Wang Junze temporarily set aside the contemplation of Chess Swordsmanship, investing all his focus into comprehending the Profound Moon Sword Technique.

And this transition brought the most direct change — Wang Junze’s speed in ascending the Sword Tier suddenly surged once again, even far faster than the previous fifty tiers!

This sudden change undoubtedly left everyone stunned!

"How is this possible?!"

In the crowd, a commotion erupted, many couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment,

This sudden acceleration fundamentally defied logic, completely beyond everyone’s understanding.

It can’t be that Wang Junze’s cognitive ability suddenly improved, right?

...

"Was he training under weight earlier?!"

With a gleam of insight in his eyes, even Zhou Dongfei couldn’t help being somewhat shaken.

A person’s cultivation talent naturally can’t abruptly improve, so the only explanation is that previously, Wang Junze hadn’t devoted all his focus to understanding the Profound Moon Sword Sect, but was also trying to grasp more elements.

This is akin to an ordinary person running with sandbags strapped excessively to their body, inherently increasing difficulty.

Once he suddenly frees himself from these constraints, his speed naturally soars!

"The relic!"

The woman also quickly reacted.

Wang Junze had entered the relic and obtained its legacy; just knowing this makes it easy to speculate the truth.

What they previously saw of Wang Junze’s pace in comprehending the Profound Moon Sword Technique on the Sword Tier did not represent Wang Junze’s true talent in the Sword Dao, but the opponent simultaneously attempting to deepen the understanding and insights of the legacy obtained from the relic while comprehending the Profound Moon Sword Technique.

Only this way could they be deceived, resulting in misjudgment of Wang Junze’s talent.

But... isn’t this guy overly arrogant?

On the Sword Tier, he dares to divert his attention to comprehend other Sword Dao legacies, and he indeed managed to do so, until he reached halfway up, only then finding it unsustainable and being forced to give up on other Sword Dao insights to fully comprehend the Profound Moon Sword Technique!

Truly the fearless ignorance!

Realizing this point, even Zhou Dongfei couldn’t help but chuckle wryly.

This sort of thing is really only something a person like Wang Junze, a maverick, could accomplish. No regularly guided cultivator would ever engage in such reckless deeds.

Moreover, earlier being ridiculed by so many, he completely disregarded it, not altering his thoughts because of that, such composure is too stable.

"No wonder Qingxuan said he lost to him in the relic while competing for the legacy... this guy, is remarkable! Looks like we really found a treasure this time!"

With a hint of a smile in his eyes, Zhou Dongfei laughed slightly.
