Sword Devil Also Dual Cultivates?

Chapter 78: Searching for Flaws

'I think this technique makes more sense. But for now, let's escape from here. On the way, transmit this technique to your brain. By the way, Qiao Fu can't hear you, right?' Qin nodded his head and asked.

"No, she can't. Although you have allowed her to hear and see through your eyes, she can only talk to your brain and hear your thoughts inside the room. But, she can't read your mind or even hear our conversation." Xiao Lan explained in his mind, making him relaxed.

'That's good.' Qin sighed a breath of relief. It's not that he doesn't trust her rather he just wanted to have a secret that no one knows at least not until he is strong enough.

"Alright, let's go back to the sect." Qin turned his head at Yue Bin and tilts his head. Yue Bin nodded her head and turned away.

The young man sighed and takes out a knife. He puts the knife near his neck but before he moved it, Qin catches his hand.

"What the hell are you doing? Come with me if you want to live."

Hearing his words, disbelieve appeared on the young man's face. He was sure that Qin wanted to kill him the moment earlier but even though he gave up, he didn't think Qin would keep him alive.

Of course, it's not that Qin had mercy on him. He was just making the best of this situation. If Xiao Lan hadn't suggested that technique, he would've left him there to suicide. He didn't want to make mindless puppets who can't express their own opinion.

He is a swordsman. Every mistake only makes him realize his weakness. A swordsman seeks defeat to improve. If he can't get defeated, he can't improve. That's why Qin hasn't got good enlightenment for his sword cultivation.

He has made good progress on other things but not for the sword. Of course, he won't fight Yu Family now because he still has some ways to improve his strength without revealing his true strength.

They returned back to the sect. On the way, he asked about the young man's identity. His name was Yu Tan. He was the son of the fifth elder which is the fifth brother of the family head. He was born without any talent for cultivation.

If it wasn't for the Yu Family, he wouldn't even be a cultivator. But he was handsome and thus his parents gifted him as a male pet to the Family Head's daughter on her eighteenth birthday when she created the Spirit Rank Talisman.

They just wanted to form a good relationship with her. Yu Tan didn't even have the right to refuse. If he doesn't agree, his parents would punish me or even castrate him. He knew his parents don't care about him.

He had already had two young brothers who were ten times more talented them him. And, even if they didn't have one, they can always have one in the future.

Hearing his story, Qin got the idea about these kinds of families. They only care about talent. But, they missed one thing. Although Yu Tan wasn't a genius, he was indeed a hard worker. Without any talent, he reached the peak of Qi Gathering Realm in four years.

And, not only was that he is also able to create the Profound Rank Middle-Tier Talisman. It wasn't too good but it wasn't bad either. Yu Tan also informed him about the tracking talisman in his body. And, this made Qin understand when he tried to suicide, he wasn't faking it.

If Qin hadn't stopped him, he might have really taken his own life. After reaching the sect, Yue Bin returned to the inner disciple court but he went to the restaurant nearby and booked the room for a single day.

He knocked out Yu Tan and asked Qiao Fu to destroy the tracking talisman. But, it took him ten times to convince her. Because she was too scared to come out in front of another male. She felt her body will dominate her mind.

But once she came out, her sword energy broke her Body Will and she successfully broke the tracking talisman. After she returned back to the mysterious space, Qin walked to the bed and sat crossed leg.

He woke Yu Tan up and took him back to the sect. He asked Yu Tan to stay in his room while he went to the Practice Ground. But, he spent half an hour inside the room, teaching many things to Yu Tan and also giving him a goal. He wanted to improve his swordsmanship and nothing could be a better place than this.

He paid the contribution points and reserved the practice ground. He had only one goal. To find out his own flaws. He didn't want to improve his swordsmanship here rather find his flaws. Once he does, he will enter the mysterious space and improve his swordsmanship.

He didn't try to find the flaws of another sword art. Rather, he focused on the Supreme Way of Sword. Because this book was literally flawless but his own swordsmanship was full of flaws. At least, this is what he believes.

He raised his sword and slashed down. His sword came with a speed that cut the air part. But, according to the Supreme Way of Sword, he mustn't rely on his physical body. He could understand why this book said such a thing.

Because the creator of this book was the man in the blue shirt. This man only cultivates sword, and nothing else. This is why for him, swordsmanship is everything. Qin found because he was relying on other things his swordsmanship wasn't improving.

But, this was also good. Because when you find your mistake, you can improve it. And, using the physical strength is considered a mistake from the viewpoint of the Supreme Way of Sword. So, Qin can start fixing this mistake.

But, he didn't fix it. Rather, he moved to another flaw. Because he knew how to fix this mistake. The next mistake was the same. To create more power, he relies on his physical body. He also knows how to fix it.

So, he looked for another flaw. This flaw was rather different. It was related to his Sword Belief. Because he wasn't using the sword belief as he should. He is only using his sword belief in the sword energy. But, Sword Belief can be used on everything.

And, from this, he found his major flaw that can't be simply improved with a single practice. He needed a sword, not just a simple sword rather a sword forged with his own blood. A sword that he should use in every battle, constantly using sword belief on it.

Except for the materials of the sword, the sword belief can also make the sword stronger. No, it can make a sword better. Because the sword material used to forge Xiao Lan was normal. But, it was entirely because of the man in a blue shirt that this sword was amazing.

That's why he felt invincible and lonely when he used Xiao Lan. This was the sword belief of that man. Invincibility! That man believe himself to invincible but that same belief made his life lonely. He can't find an enemy.

There is nothing that can excite him. His life is now full of loneliness. Because he is invincible. And, that's what Qin felt when he used the sword. Qin understood how others sword beliefs can affect you if your sword belief is not stronger.

It's all thanks to Xiao Lan who resisted that sword belief for Qin. Otherwise, Qin would have a hard time coming out of such a state. It was intoxicating. And, this was his other flaw. His Sword Belief was weak. Because he only uses it on his own sword energy.

His Sword Belief must grow and face several adversities with him. He hasn't tried to control and make others feel like how the man in a blue shirt made him feel. Only then, he could possibly improve his sword belief.

But, this wasn't the end of his flaws. He found another flaw. But, this wasn't related to the Supreme Way of Sword. It was related to Lightning Drawing Sword Art and Wind Splitting Sword Art.

Whenever he uses these techniques, he merges sword energy with it. That's not how a swordsman should play. Because for a swordsman, everything is a sword. So, he shouldn't merge the lightning bolt with sword energy rather he should inject his sword belief into the lightning bolt, completely transforming it into a lightning sword.

The same goes for the Wind Splitting Sword Art. He merges the sword energy with the wind rather than transforming wind qi into a wind sword. If he merges sword energy with wind, he must try to balance both which decreases the power.

But, if he uses the sword belief on the wind, he is not only giving the sword attributes to the wind but also keeping the wind attributes as originally as they were. This is what a swordsman does. Use a flower like a sword, it will be gentle like the flower.

Use the metal as a sword, it will be hard as the metal. These flaws made him realize just how far he is from seeking defeat. Only when he finds the flaws on his own, he can improve them. Otherwise, he will be left to the dust.

Now, it was time to improve his swordsmanship.
