Chapter 126: Using Your Body as a Sword
"Sister, why don't you think about it again? No matter what, your future is more important. I know that opening the meridians is not difficult for you, but if you don't have a superior method to open the acupoints, it will be extremely difficult to make progress."

As soon as Fang Xun returned to the gate of the courtyard, he saw Yue Liuli talking to Dongfang Que with a serious look on her face, and he felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Dongfang Que is really popular. Everyone wants to poach him."

Dongfang Que could only give an awkward but polite smile. Yue Liuli hadn't noticed Fang Xun was standing at the door yet, and she was still persuading him non-stop.

".Throughout history, there are countless people with extraordinary talents who were born in poverty and had no good teachers, but who were able to become famous for their extraordinary talents in the Tongmai realm.

But when they reach the state of awakening, they can only explore and measure the acupoints by themselves, and most of them eventually become possessed and die suddenly. Only very few people with amazing luck can cross this hurdle."

"Cough cough."

At this moment, a cough suddenly interrupted Yue Liuli's narration. The two immediately turned their heads to look at the gate of the courtyard, and saw Fang Xun walking slowly towards them. Dongfang Que finally breathed a sigh of relief.

'Xun brother is finally back!'

Yue Liuli suddenly felt embarrassed. She came to someone else's house to poach someone else's girlfriend and was caught red-handed by the man who did it. When Fang Xun saw this, he smiled and spoke to ease her embarrassment.

"Miss Yue, if Fang Man could have a good future, I wouldn't force myself to be this evil person."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Dongfang Que again.

"Master, are you going to drive Man'er away!!!"

Fang Xun's heart twitched, and he saw that Dongfang Que looked like he was about to cry.

Yue Liuli saw this and hurriedly said to comfort her, "Sister Man'er, you misunderstood. When you finish your studies and go down the mountain to gain experience, you can still come to find Master Fang."

Dongfang Que said pitifully, "But when I think about being separated from the young master, Man'er feels more miserable than dying."

Yue Liuli's face suddenly froze. She turned to look at Fang Xun, only to see that he just shrugged helplessly. She couldn't help but sigh with regret.

"Everyone has their own aspirations, and they cannot be forced. However, without a superior method of awakening one's mind, one will never be able to become a master. Sister, you still need to think about it more."

Fang Xun smiled when he heard this and said, "Miss Yue, you don't know that Jian Wuyi just invited me to fight with all my strength, and the reward is a superior method of awakening the mind."

"Ok?"

Yue Liuli was stunned for a moment, a look of surprise on her face. She immediately realized something and began to look at the young man in front of her again.

"He actually took the initiative to invite you and offered you a superior method of awakening your mind as a reward. It seems that he is finally going to have a breakthrough."

Now it was Fang Xun's turn to be confused, and Dongfang Que also asked directly in surprise.

"I felt it was very strange before. As far as I know, Jian Wuyi was promoted to Xiantian eight years ago. He was at the peak of Tongmai once he entered Xiantian. Why is he preparing to break into Kaiqiao now?"

If it were those mediocre and ordinary martial artists with open meridians in the martial arts world, it would not be surprising if they could not advance to the stage of opening their meridians in their entire lives, let alone eight years.

Although the awakening of the mind is not like the master of divine will, which is a chasm that has prevented countless people from being stuck at the peak of awakening throughout history and unable to cross the last step, it is not so easy to break through.

But for a super genius like Jian Wuyi, enlightenment is not a bottleneck at all. Eight years is too long to waste.

Just like Fang Xun, who had only broken through to the Xiantian realm three months ago, he was ready to make another breakthrough. Jian Wuyi's situation was strange no matter how he looked at it. He also looked at Yue Liuli with a puzzled expression, waiting for her answer.

Yue Liuli smiled and spoke slowly.

“Jian Wuyi’s situation is actually not a secret. It is said that when he was born, thousands of swords within a thousand miles came to worship him. At the age of ten, he was accepted into the Divine Sword Lake sect.

He did not practice the introductory technique and just focused on sword training. At the age of twelve, he broke through to the acquired state through his sense of vitality, and at the age of fifteen, he broke through to the innate state. He could have continued to break through within a year, but he did not do so. Instead, he started to sharpen his sword. "

"Sharpening the sword?" Fang Xun asked doubtfully.

Yue Liuli nodded: "Yes, it's just sharpening the sword. You have also seen Jian Wuyi. Did you find that he has nothing and no sword?"

Fang Xun immediately recalled it and found that it was indeed the case.

"Hasn't he already reached the state of 'forgetting the sword', so that even the falling flowers and leaves can become a sword?"

Yue Liuli laughed again when she heard his question.

"'Without a Sword' is not really stronger than 'With a Sword'. It's just that ordinary swords are really useless to him. However, if he has a master-level divine sword that suits him, Jian Wuyi will still be even more powerful."

Fang Xun immediately understood that he had thought wrongly, the Gold-type Dugu Qiubai's "no sword is better than a sword" was only relative.

The materials of weapons in the low-level martial arts world are far inferior to those in this world, and it is almost impossible for them to have spirituality. He defeated so many people in the martial arts hall, but only the sword "Listening to the Spring Rain in a Small Building One Night" had spirituality.

With Dugu Qiubai's realm, of course, he can "win without a sword", but if he could come to this world, he would definitely not refuse to own a peerless divine sword.

The ultimate magic weapons in the world of high martial arts are not only made of hard material, but can also unleash tremendous power even if taken by someone of low strength.

The so-called 'without sword' and 'with sword' are all relative. It's just that none of the swords in the gold-based martial arts can be worthy of Dugu Qiubai. To him, they are just decorations.

Thinking of Jian Wuyi's situation, Fang Xun immediately realized something: "You said before that Jian Wuyi was sharpening his sword. Could it be that he was tempering himself as a sword?"

Yue Liuli nodded, her beautiful eyes dazed for a moment.

"Yes, there have been peerless geniuses like Jian Wuyi who were born with sword bones in history, but none of them have the courage to temper themselves like a peerless sword like him."

Born with sword bones, his sword intent was inherently extremely sharp. After being tempered, it would only become more terrifying, but it also hindered Jian Wuyi's progress.

The overly powerful sword intent was a double-edged sword for him, hurting others as well as himself. If he rashly broke through, his body would not be able to withstand this terrifying sword intent.

Only by constantly honing oneself and enduring the pain of being tempered by the sword energy can a breakthrough be achieved when the body is strong enough to bear the sword intent.

After listening to Yue Liuli's explanation, Fang Xun couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Jian Wuyi is not only talented, but also has great perseverance. He spent eight whole years tempering his body with sword energy. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been in so much pain that he would rather die than live. But he persisted. I am no better than him."

Yue Liuli glanced at Fang Xun again and said with a smile: "Brother Fang, why do you have to underestimate yourself? Since Jian Wuyi chose you as his opponent before the breakthrough, it means that in his eyes, you are no worse than him. I am very much looking forward to the competition between you two."

"Haha, the outcome will be clear during the sword fight at Liujiantai in five days."
