She comprehended the sword intent two years ago and prided herself on her astonishing talent. However, that was merely her personal understanding; it was utterly impossible for her to instruct others.
After all, both knife intent and sword intent are realms of perception, a kind of understanding of knife techniques and sword techniques. They are not tangible objects, but rather extremely ethereal and elusive.
Moreover, each individual's understanding of knife and sword techniques is drastically different, leading to significant variations in the knife intent or sword intent that one comprehends.
One person's steps cannot be directly placed onto another person, so relying on guidance to achieve success is almost impossible.
Unless the person giving guidance has reached a peak level of mastery in the comprehension of knife or sword intent. At that level, it cannot be said that guidance is totally unachievable, but it will merely be a slight nudging from a master.
Yet now, Wang Qiming actually claimed that his knife intent was guided by Qin Chen, which deeply shocked You Qianxue and made her feel incredulous.
Unaware of You Qianxue’s astonishment, Qin Chen nodded, "Yes, it's good that you understand. You are hardworking and possess great talent, but due to your identity, there is an anger within you—a rage against the injustice of heaven and earth, a desire to break through the shackles of all things."
"This anger drives you forward, strengthens your will, and allows you to endure more pain on the path of growth, making your will even stronger."
"But you must also remember, anger is merely an emotion. It can push you ahead but cannot become your core source of power."
"The essence of knife intent is the realm of perception. As I just demonstrated with the killing knife intent or the destruction knife intent, both killing and destruction are realms of perception. You should comprehend this anger of yours and transform it, this unwillingness, this defiance against the laws of the heavens, into an entirely new realm, integrating it into your knife techniques, to become your unique knife intent."
"Do not simply rely on the insights of others!"
"Only by reaching this step can you be considered a true swordsman on the path of knife intent; only then can you be regarded as having truly entered the door."
Qin Chen earnestly taught, speaking eloquently.
Beside him, Wang Qiming nodded repeatedly, his eyes growing brighter.
Although he had some understanding, it paled in comparison to Qin Chen’s personal guidance. Now, Qin Chen's words felt like a sharp blade, directly piercing the essence of knife intent, greatly impacting him.
If just now, when Qin Chen revealed the two great knife intents, he opened a door in front of him.
Then at this moment, Qin Chen was laying down a path behind the door, a bright road leading to a prosperous future.
Of course, the path laid down by Qin Chen merely ensured that he would not go astray, giving him a clear direction on his journey ahead; as for how far he could truly go, it depended on himself and how much he could comprehend.
"The essence of knife intent is to comprehend and sense, to transform the realm, to integrate it into knife techniques, evolving into one’s own understanding of knife techniques, becoming a brand new power. What about sword intent?"
While Qin Chen was instructing Wang Qiming, You Qianxue was lost in deep shock, murmuring to herself.
Knife intent and sword intent seem different, yet they are interconnected.
Qin Chen's words could bring insights to Wang Qiming, and they also deeply moved You Qianxue's heart.
At that moment, she couldn't help but recall the sword intent that Qin Chen casually revealed on the Demon Ancestor Mountain, which shattered her sword moves. That kind of effortless display resurfaced in her mind, causing her heart to tremble involuntarily.
"What kind of person is he? Why does he possess such profound attainments in sword intent and such strength in knife intent? Moreover, he seems quite extraordinary in formations as well. How did he achieve all of this?"
