196: First Battle with Innate, Complete Sword Intention!_2
“`
No one expected that as soon as the two began to exchange blows, they would fight to such an extent.
Just like that, Lu Qing and Wei Shanhai attacked each other with rapid saber moves for a dozen or so breaths.
Suddenly, the sword light dissipated, and a figure retreated sharply backward.
He took a dozen steps back before stabilizing himself, looking ahead with a shocked expression on his face.
His clothing bore several noticeable rips.
“What, the old ancestor actually retreated?”
“Did Brother Lu Qing win?”
On the hillside, Ma Gu and Wei Zian couldn’t help but exclaim when they saw this scene.
The person who had retreated turned out to be Wei Shanhai.
“Sword intention…”
At this moment, the shock in Wei Shanhai’s heart was overwhelming.
He swallowed, watching Lu Qing in disbelief.
“Young Master Lu, have you actually stepped into the realm of sword intention, and fully comprehended complete sword intention?”
“Some days ago when practicing the saber, I happened to have an insight by chance.”
Lu Qing sheathed his war saber, his clothes intact.
“It’s really sword intention…”
Although he was somewhat prepared, Wei Shanhai’s heart still skipped a few beats when Lu Qing confirmed it.
“Using a Postnatal Realm body to comprehend complete sword intention, Young Master Lu, both you and your teacher possess a monstrous talent for Martial Arts.”
The elder doctor was capable of exhibiting a hint of the Innate Realm Intent even with the initial Cultivation of the Initial Innate Realm, and later he even comprehended the integration of water and fire to simultaneously cultivate dual systems of Innate True Qi, which had already shocked Wei Shanhai enough.
But Lu Qing was just as exceptional as his teacher.
He had managed to comprehend complete sword intention while still in the Postnatal Realm.
You should know that the realm of “Will” is extraordinarily mysterious.
Even seasoned Innate Realm Experts may not be able to comprehend their own unique “Will.”
Even he took decades after stepping into the Innate Realm before he gradually honed his own sword intention.
Yet Lu Qing, at such a young age and without even breaking through to the Innate Realm, had already grasped complete sword intention.
If this news were to spread, it would certainly send a shockwave throughout the entire Cultivation world.
What’s more important, Wei Shanhai vaguely felt that Lu Qing’s sword intention was even more mystical than his own as an Innate Realm expert.
In the last few dozen moves of the rapid saber exchange that had just occurred, he had been thoroughly suppressed by Lu Qing.
With his own sword intention driving his saber technique, he couldn’t find any flaws in Lu Qing’s saber technique.
On the contrary, his own moves were several times found flawed by Lu Qing, slashing his clothes.
Had it not been for Lu Qing’s mercy, he would have been injured by now.
“Senior Wei, would you still like to continue testing my strength in the Postnatal Realm?” Lu Qing asked.
“What’s the point of testing further?” Wei Shanhai said with a wry smile, “Judging by saber technique alone, I’ve been completely defeated by you.”
While saying this, Wei Shanhai’s heart still tasted some bitterness.
Before sparring with Lu Qing, he had been full of confidence.
He believed that although Lu Qing was an exceptional talent, rare in hundreds of years, he would hardly be able to withstand his Innate Realm Martial Consciousness.
Instead, it was he who ended up being defeated.
“Am I qualified to witness the power of the Innate Realm level now?” Lu Qing continued.
“Of course, you are.”
Wei Shanhai was, after all, an Innate Realm Expert, quickly adjusting his mindset and becoming serious.
“But Young Master Lu, I also must tell you, the power of the Innate Realm, compared to the Postnatal Realm, is entirely on a different level.
The Innate Realm cultivates Innate True Qi.
Using the heart and spirit as a guide to absorb Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi and refine it into Innate True Qi, which is extraordinarily mysterious and contains immense power.
The moves driven by this are shockingly powerful, far beyond anything the Postnatal Realm can compare to.
The same set of Martial Arts, when driven by an Innate Realm Martial Artist with Innate True Qi, can exert at least several times, or even dozens of times, the power of when they were in the Postnatal Realm.
The two cannot be mentioned in the same breath.”
“I understand,” Lu Qing said solemnly.
Wei Shanhai’s meaning was clear.
