Chapter 22: Swordsmanship, Strength, and IAF

"All weapons have their own unique tricks and moves. {We don't write novels, we're just online text porters - familiarize yourself with the weapon itself, then hone your skills and moves.} Only when you are familiar with your weapon and master it proficiently can you know what moves to use against the enemy in battle, and know how to use them freely. However, this is only the first stage. ”

"I see, Al. What do you mean, I've already practiced the first stage to perfection? ”

"No, Haoran, your talents are far beyond my imagination. Only by completing the first stage, you can't even touch my side, you must know that the unlocking of my extreme power is directly proportional to the growth of your strength. Al praised Haoran and continued to explain: "Because in the first stage, no matter how well you practice the 'technique', when facing the enemy, you still need to think about the move first, and then rely on the body to use the move. And this process takes a while, and even if it is, it is not even a second. ”

Al's words seem to be drenched with cold water, and in the battle under the same hard conditions, the inner quality determines success or failure.

Al went on to explain, "When people do things, they think clearly before they start doing them, but fighting is completely different. If you think before you do it, and you think before you do it, then you will never be able to beat me. ”

"So am I in the second stage? What is the second stage? How many stages are there? Although Haoran has rich academic knowledge, when it comes to fighting at a higher level, he is still a toddler, but fortunately, Su Han "assigned" him a teacher.

"In my understanding, the consciousness of battle is divided into three stages, also called three levels. The first level is called the intention to come first, and what you have reached now is the second stage, where thoughts and actions occur at the same time. I was really impressed with your talent, but I didn't expect you to be able to 'move forward' in less than ten days. Haoran, what I admire more than your talent is your spiritual power and your heart! Most people learn to use weapons, learn how to fight, and stay at the first stage for the rest of their lives. This is because they have too many distracting thoughts in their minds, and their mental energy cannot be highly concentrated. Therefore, their actions are always governed by their thoughts. ”

After understanding Al's explanation, Haoran knew what the second stage was all about, and he instantly understood, "Al, is the third stage an action before the thought, when you are thinking about how to make a move, your move has already hit the opponent, and you care first." ”

Al nodded in approval: "So I said, you don't need to put any more effort into swordsmanship." Because, even if your swordsmanship reaches the extreme, it is useless. ”

"Huh!?" Haoran didn't turn a corner.

"For ordinary people, these three levels are very useful, and they are enough to study for most of their lives. However, people like you, there are benefits to learning, but they really don't need it. "Al has come to a god turn.

Haoran was even more puzzled: "...... me?" Which ...... Person? ”

"Hmph, hehe, back behind me."

Haoran obediently walked behind Al.

Al stretched out his left hand, and suddenly countless black particles gathered into his palm, condensing into a small bead the size of a fingernail, the pitch-black color seemed to be able to swallow all the light, "Just find a place to grasp it." ”

Seeing this, Haoran felt very bad, and immediately complied with a bitter face. Al was still standing in place, holding his left hand lightly, and then, with a smile, he half-turned his head and said to Haoran again, "Is it okay?" ”

"How is that possible!?" Haoran knows what El has in his hand, antimatter! The huge energy creates an "antimatter energy body", this antimatter will annihilate once it comes into contact with positive matter, and the two things will completely release all the energy and finally turn into light, the power of this reaction called "pure elimination" has no limit, as long as there is enough antimatter, it can completely destroy the positive matter of the same energy. In a word, this is a reaction that can turn everything into "nothing" in an instant. Once successful, there will be no remnants left, not even the slightest trace of which will ever be detected. Haoran lay on the ground, clutching the protruding rock, and screamed, "Do you want to sink all of North America?!" ”

"Look!" As these three words were spoken, Al turned his face, took a light breath, his chest bulged slightly, and the fingers of his left hand gradually converged towards the middle, and every movement seemed to have ten thousand powers.

Then, Al half-twisted his head with a smile, and as he watched Haoran, he suddenly let go of his finger and flicked the small black bead in his hand towards the mountain range in the distance, and in this moment, the air stopped flowing!

"Po~!" There was a soft sound, as if a balloon had been punctured, but Haoran knew that this was just the beginning. The Rocky Mountains are the main trunk of the American Cordillera Mountain System in North America, composed of many small mountain ranges, known as the "backbone" of North America, the main mountain range from British Columbia, Canada to New Mexico in the southwestern United States, stretching undulating, from north to south, running for more than 4,800 kilometers.

At this moment, the mountains in the distance are instantly volatilized! After performing the magic trick of the eraser, the strong vibration was accompanied by the energy that destroyed the world, the bright light that could not open the eyes, and the endless stream of particles spread out like wild horses in all directions, and no one could survive this catastrophe!

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" The violent earthquake was about to shatter Haoran's internal organs.

The roar continued, and the torrent of particles and energy swept in overwhelmingly, destroying anything it encountered, and seeing that it was about to arrive in front of him, Haoran could not avoid it at all, and the only one who could count on was El in front of him. Al stood motionless, letting the impact roar, just a few meters away from being engulfed, the power of destruction bypassed Al and continued to wreak havoc elsewhere, the torn earth invisibly drew the absolutely safe cone behind him, and by the time Haoran could open his eyes, he had been shocked and couldn't close his mouth: only two meters in front of Al had completely turned into a cliff, the sky was cloudless, the atmosphere was much thinner as if it was in a higher place, and the original stretch of the Rocky Mountains, Truncated by El, with a wave of his fingers!

"Hey, the power is locked by Su Han, can it only exert so many controllable levels?"

Haoran still opened his mouth wide, and he didn't come back to his senses in shock, not considering whether he had alarmed the United States, just a strategic-level force to change the landscape......

"Don't worry, I've controlled the force to minimize the impact of crustal changes, and below this direction is still a cliff, and below the cliff, the future is a new inland lake." Al clapped his hands, blocking out the non-existent dust.

"I ...... I'm not worried about this...... It's really ...... Too...... It's so powerful! Haoran couldn't say a sentence completely, "Or ...... First ...... See...... This level of ...... Strength...... Wield! ”

"Now you should understand why I don't use swordsmanship to fight the enemy, and I don't let you waste time on swordsmanship. Because I am the same kind of person as you, the kind of person who can naturally grasp a higher level, far beyond ordinary people! Al circled and finally landed in the center.

"Me? Can it be done? Although Haoran is a little confident, he is not blind to arrogance.

"Haoran, let me ask you: What is 'Tao'?" Before Al could reply, Al said to himself. "It's a law, an objective law that has existed since the birth of the universe, what is the universe? The upper and lower squares are said to be the universe, and the past and present are called the universe. To put it simply, the universe is the sum of all the space, space, ancient and modern time, this is just a general theory, to be precise, the universe is the general term of all space, matter, and energy. ”

"The world...... It's as beautiful as ever~ Countless stars and planets revolving around it, and galaxies with a large number of these stars are scattered throughout the starry sky. Bits of light spread across the endless space, dotting the darkness and making it seem less lonely. The occasional flickering dazzling light is due to a supernova explosion, which happens all the time and becomes the most dazzling protagonist of the pitch-black canopy. In addition to the galaxies that gather, the universe is also diffused with an infinite amount of gas and dust, some forming cloud-like nebulae, like layers of colorful thin veils. ”

"Of course, in addition to these celestial bodies that are visible to the naked eye, there are many things that exist but cannot be easily perceived. Dark matter, black holes, and so on, they can exist anywhere...... Countless celestial bodies move according to certain trajectories under the action of various forces, and these are all in accordance with the laws unique to the universe. From the smallest particles to the largest celestial systems, quarks, leptons, photons, galaxies, nebulae, and black holes are all under its rules. ”

"It is impossible to express its grandeur in words, just as it is impossible to confirm the reality of the world and observe everything about it with the naked eye. The infinite starry sky has existed for eternity, and it has always only obeyed the laws of the universe, and it will always operate like this if there is no interference from other external forces. ”

Speaking of this, Al changed the subject again, "Remember the sword sense I explained to you?" There is no reason why I disdain it, in the world of using swords, this is something that everyone pursues all their lives, however, between heaven and earth, is there a way of the sword, a sword, can it be preached? ”

Haoran's breathing became rapid, and his mind fluctuated violently. He forced himself to calm himself and wanted to calm himself down with deep breaths. Glancing at the one in his hand, Haoran thought for a while and replied to Al: "The sword was created by man and made after tomorrow. Since it is acquired, there is naturally no special 'Dao' in the universe to match it. ”

"Hehe, haha! I've seen countless idiots go after what doesn't exist, and even if there is, it's a clumsy imitation of a detour, not even an explanation. Al's face was quite impressive, and he waved his arm forward exaggeratedly, "You, like me, can easily get power, and with a little thought, you can take it one step further!" After all, 'martial arts' are the embodiment of individual will, and cannot replace or create objective laws. I'll give you this advice, Haoran, the lower the percentage of your swordsmanship in your strength, the better. ”

What does Al's last sentence mean?! Haoran's thoughts are flying, his swordsmanship can become more and more proficient, but his strength cannot all be reflected by it, the stronger the swordsmanship, the lower the proportion, and his own strength is naturally stronger. Thinking of this, Haoran made a grand decision to the black-toned youth:

"Al, I'm going to learn the Infinite Atmospheric Form!"

If there is an opportunity for direct learning, why go far and wide? Haoran even knows more about the characteristics than Alto.
