Martial Master

Of course, this is not because the Sword Control Technique itself is that powerful.

What truly makes the Sword Control Technique formidable is Qin Chen's soul power and true energy.

His soul power is more than ten times that of an ordinary person, capable of achieving soul condensation and form manifestation, effortlessly wielding flying swords to kill enemies, even simpler than activating bloodline power.

At the same time, his true energy is the true energy of the Nine Star Martial God Art, which far exceeds that of ordinary martial artists in terms of purity and strength.

The combination of the two leads to the ability to kill enemies in the blink of an eye, even at just the first level of mastery.

If other martial artists were to come, let alone penetrating the false mountain with a sword, even just making their sword float would be considered impressive.

Qin Chen even suspects that the ancient Southern Capital's inheritance is tailored to each individual's conditions, providing different techniques that fit each martial artist. Otherwise, how could the Sword Control Technique be so compatible with him?

Not satisfied with just linear attacks, Qin Chen urged his soul power, his sword pointing traced an arc in the void, then he pointed backwards.

Swish!

The sword light pierced the cave, the black long sword darting left and right, creating more holes in the false mountain at a speed that was by no means slow.

Next, Qin Chen frequently urged the mysterious rusted sword, even using it to display sword techniques.

This time, Qin Chen encountered difficulties. Although the mysterious rusted sword was very agile, executing sword techniques with it felt somewhat lacking compared to wielding a long sword directly. The techniques, although revolving smoothly, inevitably felt somewhat awkward and unrefined.

"Try using sword intent!"

Buzz!

Qin Chen activated his sword intent and immediately felt a mysterious connection with the mysterious rusted sword, causing the sword to float in midair, emanating a faint sword intent.

"Sure enough, it works."

Qin Chen was overjoyed.

"My soul power isn’t sufficient yet; I can only convey about sixty percent of the sword intent to the mysterious rusted sword. But that is still much stronger than the true treasure flying knife."

After several experiments, Qin Chen had a clear understanding.

Next, Qin Chen frequently pointed his sword, igniting bloodline power, sword Dao intent, and various sword techniques; he lost count of how many times he tried, until the false mountain in front of him was riddled with holes and collapsed with a loud rumble, finally sheathing his sword.

"My soul power is over ten times that of an ordinary person. Merely cultivating the Sword Control Technique to the first level already equates to the power of the second level. Of course, I cannot yet achieve the ability to move the sword with my heart, but it's already easy to command it."

"Moreover, the power of this Sword Control Technique is indeed much stronger than the flying knife true treasure, essentially allowing me to exert about seventy percent of my combat power."

Having seventy percent combat power is already terrifying. After all, when fighting with the sword, the body does not receive any attacks, which means Qin Chen is remotely controlling the flying sword against enemies. For martial artists not as fast as him, Qin Chen was already in an invincible position from the very start of the battle.

If the will of the ancient Southern Capital were to see Qin Chen mastering the Sword Control Technique so quickly, they would surely be astonished. Such speed, even in ancient times, few geniuses could achieve.

"However, my first level has not yet reached perfection; there are still some flaws in executing sword techniques. Facing top-tier masters, while I may be safe, killing them is not easy unless I step into the second level of moving the sword with my heart."

Qin Chen pondered.

The second level of moving the sword with the heart is still too distant. No matter how high his talent, it is impossible to master the second level of the Sword Control Technique in just one day.
