Magic and Martial War God

Chapter 142: True Path Part 4- Sword Practice

"Remember this well! A sword is nothing but a tool. Only if you can use this tool with the Dao of Sword, you can be considered a true swordsman. Using the sword to attack is not the path of a swordsman, rather using the sword energy for the offense the true attack of the swordsman."

"If you want to be a swordsman, you need to control sword energy," Klink yelled at Jian Tian who was using his silver sword against the Lavanedo monster. This Lavanedo was five feet long with a lizard-like body, coated with magma.

It was releasing its fire tongue to fight against Jian Tian. But the problem was the number of Lavanedo. There were hundreds of them, and others were trying to besiege him, giving him no chance to fight back.

Hearing Klink's harsh yelling, Jian Tian felt even more irritating. But soon, he calmed down. He was trying to find the meaning behind Klink's words.

'Control the sword energy, using the sword energy to hurt the opponent, not using the sword.'

'Control the sword, I know how to control it but how is that going to help me?' Inwardly, Jian Tian shouted but he still released his sword energy. Wrapping sword energy around his sword, he began to attack the Lavanedo furiously.

"Now, divide the sword energy into half, do not use the sword. Condense the sword out of sword energy, create as many as you can control. The more control, more you condense, the more you condense, stronger your strength will be."

Seeing his disciple foolishly act, Klink shook his head and yelled at him once again. But no matter how much he yells, his face didn't show a single sign of anger. This was quite confusing because Rocky and James didn't understand whether Klink was getting angry at Jian Tian or not.

'Take back the sword, use sword energy to form an unreal sword, divide sword energy into many pieces, form different swords, and control them all. The control over the sword energy will determine how many swords can I condense? It will be hard, but I have to give it a try.' Jian Tian murmured in his heart.

Suddenly, he took back his sword and released the sword energy out of his body. This sword energy condensed around him, using his sword sense he began to control the sword energy and condense the sword.

"Roar" "Splash" "Kuek!"

But it seems harder than he thought. When he was about to condense the sword, he got hit by the fire tongue. This left a wound on his chest and disrupted his concentration. Fortunately, he was only pushed back a little and didn't fall on the ground.

"Jian!" Just when Rocky shouted and about to rush, Klink stopped him. Rocky saw the expression on his face and forced himself to stay down. He knows Klink won't let Jian Tian die, so why was he worried?

Jian Tian knew Klink wasn't going to help him, so he desperately began to condense the sword. It is said when you are near death, the power inside you blooms like a flower. Then, let it bloom.

'Control the sword energy, condense the sword. Sword is just a weapon, only sword energy is the true path of Sword Dao. But what is sword dao? What is Dao? Sword, is it just a weapon? No, the sword isn't just a weapon, it is the dao itself. But do understand the sword, you need to learn from the very beginning.'

'In the path of Sword Dao, sword energy is the beginning. Sword Dao is the Sword. A true swordsman understands the sword dao because he understands his sword. So what is my sword? What is my sword dao?'

'Is it the sword that transcends space-time? No, the teacher said a sword can break ten thousand daos. But what are daos? If space and time are daos, then if a sword breaks it will life extinct? No, if I want to break the space-time, I need to understand the sword dao.'

'Understanding the sword dao starts with the control of sword energy. If I can control my sword, then why would I extinct the life? So the path starts with control and ends control. Control, I need control my sword energy.'

"Sword Condense!" Jian Tian pours all of his sword energy in front of him. The sword energy was sharp, condensing into the golden sword, slowly from the hilt to the top, the golden sword was formed. This sword was half a meter long.

At this moment, his forehead was covered with sweat. Now he really understands the difference between him and Klink. He can barely condense a sword, while his sword energy was still full. Yep, if he can control his sword energy better then he can form around ten swords with his current amount of sword energy.

And Klink, his master can not only condense the sword but also kill an opponent within the blink of an eye. This was especially when everyone is still around him, and until the dead body falls on the ground, nobody can find it.

'Control the sword energy, condense the sword! Control the sword energy, condense the sword!'

"Sword Condense!" When the first sword was formed, he once again poured his sword energy out of his body to form another sword. Suddenly, he looked at the front and saw the Lavanedo rushing towards him.

"Humph!" The snort came out of his mouth while condensing another sword, his control over his previous sword had gotten weaker, but it was still enough to attack. The Lavanedo chose the worst way to attack since it saw Jian Tian completely defenseless, it used its claws, and more importantly, it was pouncing towards him

"Splash" With its body being completely defenseless, Jian Tian took full advantage of him. He controlled his sword and stabbed forward. The Lavanedo was in the air, completely immobilized, when the sword stabbed forward, it didn't get a chance to dodge and the sword pierced its stomach.

"Thud" "Roar" The moment it died and fell on the ground, another Lavanedo roared at him. Suddenly, the tornado made out of lava poured out of its mouth. This was also its strongest attack, and it is the reason why it is called Lavanedo.

Using lava instead of wind, like a tornado, only this beast is capable. Of course, higher-ranking Lavanedo can condense such Lavanedo with their claws. The lava tornado is known as Lavanedo.

"Heavenly Sword God Meridians! Sword Condense!" Seeing such an attack rushing towards him, Jian Tian didn't hide his last trick. When nine meridians were activated, an enormous amount of sword energy condensed into another sword. But the problem was the sword itself. Because it wasn't condensed by himself rather his meridians.

"Whoosh" "Slash" Using both of his swords, he also made his move. Moving his sword in the cross, his sword slashed the Lavanedo into four parts.

"Splash" "Splash" "Splash" "Splash" "Splash" "Splash" "Splash" "Splash" "Splash" "Splash"

Suddenly, dozens of swords condensed out of sword energy fly towards them. These swords were little different than those ten swords he formed while contending against the Martial King. Those words were a real deal, and a lot more powerful than these swords.

Seeing the bodies of Lavanedos falling on the ground, Jian Tian's expression froze. The power of Heavenly Sword God Meridians disappeared from his body. He turned back and looked at the face of his master, and got frozen.

He understood his master was very much disappointed in him. And he understands why? He shouldn't have used Heavenly Sword God Meridians. Originally, if it was normal time, he would have been excited. But now, he understands the mood of his master.

"Master, I am sorry. Please forgive me!" Before Klink could speak, Jian Tian kneeled in front of him and asked for forgiveness. His actions froze Klink for a moment. Although he was disappointed, he didn't want his disciple to beg for forgiveness like this.

"Get up!" But Klink still maintained his image as the master and hoarsely spoke.

"No master, only if you forgive me, I'll get up." Jian Tian stubbornly kept kneeling down. If his family would've seen this act, they might not believe it. Because previously, he had two main characters.

One, he was arrogant and two he was lazy. But after meeting Klink, Jian Tian not only understood he wasn't a top genius but also learns to work hard. Especially when he finds out Klink's age was not much different than him.

"Hush!" Klink sighed and his eyes softened. He slowly moved towards him, each step he took, dozens of monsters fell on the ground died, finally when he reached in front of Jian Tian, not a single beast was alive. He bent a little and patted Jian Tian's head, saying "Heavenly Sword God Meridians are your talent and you deserve to use it whenever you want."

"But when I'm training you, never use it unless I give you permission. Believe in yourself, belief in your master, even if you enter the depth of hell, I'll bring you back."

Although his voice was low, Rocky and James both heard him. James glanced at Jian Tian with an envious gaze. He had envy in his eyes because he also wants someone to rely on, a master that can say something like this.

It isn't just a female that needs someone to rely on, male and female, there is no discrimination. Every junior wants to have a master like him. As for Rocky, he was shocked because he didn't expect to hear something so emotional from Klink.

In his eyes, Klink was like a pure swordsman that thinks nothing but a sword. If it was a normal occurrence where he gains enormous sword talent, he might have been like that. But when he awakened sword path, he got guidance from a person that he can never forget.
