Chapter 651: Ordinary Disciples Just Aren’t Talented Enough

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

There were two paths.

One was to create his own saber technique and the other was to learn readily-available saber techniques.

The former had a higher upper limit, whether it was in terms of path insights or one’s explosive power in battle.

Anyone who was confident in their aptitude and talent would definitely choose the first path.

Wang Ye wasn’t sure about the others, but his four companions all took the path of self-creation, with Xian Yuyan being the most outstanding.

Her swordsmanship left a deep impression on him.

“With my talent and aptitude…” Wang Ye smiled confidently. “It’s better to learn saber techniques honestly.”

Stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade.

With readily available high-dimensional saber techniques that could be successfully cultivated, there was no need for him to spend so much effort in comprehending the path of the saber technique.

The lower limit of learning readily available saber techniques was higher, and the cultivation speed was also faster.

As for the upper limit…

At most, he would change it when the time came.

Moreover, he could limit break, so what was there to be afraid of?

“The saber techniques on the mountain walls of the middle mountain area are all high-dimensional ones, built on the foundation of the path of the saber. Plus, their realms are very high.”

Wang Ye walked down.

Along the way, he saw many saber walls, engravings, and even sculptures of entire saber techniques. They corresponded to the path of material.

He was currently in the fifth section of the middle mountain area, so the path of the saber of the saber techniques here was most likely at stage 5.

However, he did not know if they were beginner stage 5 paths of saber or the most powerful stage 5 paths of saber.

He returned to the middle mountain area’s first section and pondered.

“High-dimensional saber techniques and the path of the saber are essentially complementary, just like the Cosmic Energy Spell and cosmic energy. The higher the realm of one’s high-dimensional saber technique, the deeper one’s comprehension of the path of the saber. The higher the path of the saber’s stage, the stronger the high-dimensional saber technique, and the easier it will be to cultivate.”

This general knowledge of cultivation was recorded in the classics area.

Wang Ye knew the cultivation framework very well.

“My cultivation path of the saber techniques is different from theirs. Without a foundation, I might not be able to grasp an extremely powerful high-dimensional saber technique in ten years. The risk is very high. I should first ensure my lower limit and comprehend the path of the saber through an easier saber technique with a lower upper limit. Then, I’ll use evolution points to upgrade my path of the saber and comprehend high-dimensional saber techniques with higher upper limits!”

Wang Ye quickly sorted out his thoughts.

He had enough evolution points, so there was no need to risk everything.

There was only one chance to be an exchange disciple, so it was best to be steady.

Even if he couldn’t learn a second set of high-dimensional saber techniques in the end, he could at least step into the path of saber and master a set of ordinary high-dimensional saber techniques.

By relying on a sufficiently high-level path of the saber, he could also increase his close combat prowess by quite a bit.

Goal confirmed, execute!

After Wang Ye swept through the first section of the middle mountain area, he decisively entered the lower mountain area.

No one said that he had to comprehend it in the middle mountain area.

There were many people in the lower mountain area.

Apart from some of the Martial Extreme Dojo’s ordinary disciples, there were also many Undying Lifeforms.

It was much livelier than the middle mountain area.

Wang Ye explored the area and quickly determined his target area.

From the seventh to ninth sections in the lower mountain area, he could comprehend the path of the saber through any of the saber techniques.

The difference was the upper limit. Perhaps he would only have the stage 1 path of the saber after cultivating a saber technique to the peak, or perhaps he would already have stepped into the path of the saber once he mastered the saber technique.

What Wang Ye chose was the simplest and most unadorned saber technique that anyone could grasp easily.

The Hundred Refined Saber Technique.

It had a total of ten moves, with ten forms for each move.

From the first step in the lower mountain area’s first section, there were detailed descriptions and sculptures. They included a summary of the saber technique, ancient records, and everything else.

On each step, there were countless disciples’ cultivation marks and comprehension records.

It could be said that this was Martial Extreme Dojo’s most beginner saber technique, which led straight to the middle mountain area.

It was a compulsory saber technique for many disciples to comprehend the path of the saber.

“It’s most suitable for a student like me who has a poor foundation.” Wang Ye started from the first step of the first section and started learning from scratch.

It wasn’t difficult.

In less than a cosmic day, he had reached the first section’s ninth step.

There was no tenth step, nor was there a tenth statue, because this was the sum of the Hundred Refined Saber Technique’s first move.

By connecting all nine forms, one would be able to learn the first move.

It was very easy.

Wang Ye entered the second section.

With the saber intent and saber heart he had comprehended from cultivating the Reincarnation Slash Saber Technique, his journey was smooth.

In less than 10 cosmic days, he had returned to the seventh section.

At this point, the Hundred Refined Saber Technique gradually became more difficult.

Compared to the Reincarnation Slash Saber Teachniue, the Hundred Refined Saber Technique was on par with it in terms of the saber technique itself, saber intent, and saber heart.

Thankfully, the requirements to grasp it were not high.

Wang Ye quickly entered the eighth section.

The difficulty increased again, requiring a unity-phase saber intent and a perfect saber heart.

The cultivation of the Hundred Refined Saber Technique was like a staircase, from easy to difficult, explaining the meaning of “Hundred Refined”.

Ninth section!

Sublimity-phase saber intent and peak saber heart.

Wang Ye stepped into a realm of saber techniques that he had never reached before, and his comprehension became muddled.

However, this was what was so special about the Hundred Refined Saber Technique.

Even if he did not have much understanding and comprehension, he could rely on the previous tempering and practice one move at a time to naturally practice the Hundred Refined Saber Technique.

A cosmic year later.

Wang Ye stepped onto the ninth step of the lower mountain area’s ninth section.

In front of the saber wall, countless disciples and Undying Lifeforms were gathered, deep in thought.

Countless saber marks were carved on the saber wall, and countless insights were clear at a glance.

The last two steps of the Hundred Refined Saber Technique.

One was to master the ninth move and the other was to combine all nine moves into one, transforming it into the tenth move, Tempered Steel!

Practice! Wang Ye kept performing the saber technique and comprehending it.

It was not difficult to master the ninth move.

It was just that he hadn’t fully grasped the Hundred Refined Saber Technique, so he couldn’t unleash its full power.

The last tenth move was not difficult.

There were too many insights and too many saber marks.

The countless disciples and Undying Lifeforms in the surroundings were all cultivating.

Some of them had already reached the beginner stage, some were extremely proficient, and some had already comprehended most of it.

There were even some who had stepped into the path of the saber and were increasing the power of their saber techniques.

Observing, pondering, comprehending.

As Wang Ye performed the saber technique, he comprehended it.

His meridians became less clogged by the minute, and he felt more comfortable using the saber technique.

His performance of the saber technique became smooth, one slash after another, perfectly connected.

Until the end…

Boom! He naturally used the tenth move, Tempered Steel!

[Hundred Refined Saber Technique: j]

A light appeared in front of him and Wang Ye smiled.

Cultivation was easy and simple. Every step of the mountain seemed to be guiding him from the shallow to the deep.

But this was only the beginning.

It was easy to grasp the saber technique but difficult to master, and even harder to comprehend the path of the saber.

The surrounding disciples and Undying Lifeforms had basically learned all ten moves and reached the beginner stage of the saber technique, but not a single person here had truly reached the peak of stage 9 and comprehended the path of the saber.

“Ordinary disciples just don’t have the talent.” Wang Ye opened his interface.

[Do you want to spend 1,000,000 potential points to upgrade the Hundred Refined Saber Technique?]

[Yes.]

Upgrade!

Pa!

Wang Ye’s comprehension instantly increased.

Seven stages in a row!

By the time he came out of the space of consciousness, it was as if he had been cultivating in the lower mountain area for thousands of years and had reached stage 8 in an instant.

His mind was filled with his comprehension of the saber technique.

His cultivation of the Hundred Refined Saber Technique crushed the surrounding disciples and Undying-level experts.

[Do you want to spend 1 evolution point to upgrade the Hundred Refined Saber Technique?]

[Yes.]

[Your realm in the path of the saber is insufficient. Do you want to spend 2 evolution points to upgrade the Hundred Refined Saber Technique?]

Wasn’t it here?

He had been waiting!

Wang Ye’s eyes lit up and decisively chose yes.

[Evolution Points: 2556.8->2554.8.]

Peng!

In the space of consciousness, Wang Ye practiced the Hundred Refined Saber Technique for countless years.

The moment it was raised to its limit, he had an epiphany.

A small path in the high-dimensional heavenly path of material was pried open.

[Path of the saber: f]

It was as if Wang Ye had an awakening.

The path of the saber was the perfect fusion of saber heart, saber intent, and saber techniques.

It was not necessary to cultivate them to the limit. As long as one fused the three, one could find the entrance to the path of the saber and step into it.

The Hundred Refined Saber Technique was a complete path of guidance. Even disciples with mediocre talent could cultivate step by step.

There was no need to fuse the three either. By cultivating the three to the extreme, one could also open the door to the path of the saber.

Chi! Chi! Chi!

Wang Ye used the Hundred Refined Saber Technique again.

As soon as he did, even if it was just the first move, the feeling was already different.

The integration of the path of the saber allowed the Hundred Refined Saber Technique to enter a completely different high-dimensional level.

The surrounding disciples and Undying-level experts stopped. Their eyes flickered as they held their breath and watched Wang Ye perform the Hundred Refined Saber Technique.

As time passed, he was soon surrounded by layers of people.

This was the best teaching method for them, a ready template!

Pairs of eyes stared at Wang Ye, memorizing every detail of his movements like a textbook.

The path of the saber was everywhere, and when used in the stage 9 Hundred Refined Saber Technique, its power was astonishing.

Coupled with Wang Ye’s physical strength and origin power, his melee attack power increased exponentially.

Boom!

The tenth move, Tempered Steel, was the end of the saber technique.

All the disciples and Undying-level experts were amazed.

The perfect Hundred Refined Saber Technique had given them a deep lesson.

They looked at Wang Ye with admiration.

He was so powerful!

“Comfortable!” Wang Ye sighed.

Unfortunately, it was only a basic saber technique among the high-dimensional saber techniques.

Only the last move, Tempered Steel, could barely unleash the power of the stage 1 path of the saber.

On his interface, there was a flashing’+’ behind the Hundred Refined Saber Technique.

Wang Ye knew what it was.

Come on then!

Limit breaking was nothing. In any case, he had a lot of evolution points.

[Do you want to spend 10 evolution points to limit break the Hundred Refined Saber Technique?]

[Yes!]

Swoosh!

The disciples and Undying-level experts, who were still reminiscing about the mysteries of Wang Ye’s Hundred Refined Saber Technique, suddenly saw him move again.

They widened their eyes as they watched Wang Ye perform another move of the Hundred Refined Saber Technique after the tenth move. It was like a continuation, but its power was monstrous and violent, far surpassing Tempered Steel.

Was this a new saber technique?

No, it wasn’t.

It was still the Hundred Refined Saber Technique, but it was different. It was as if it had been tempered thousands of times and had reached a higher stage and realm.

But how was that possible?

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Was there an eleventh move to the Hundred Refined Saber Technique?

Boom!

Wang Ye’s violent and concise saber move shook the earth and mountains. Its power was astonishing, intimidating all the disciples and Undying-level experts.

The saber energy contained origin power, and it didn’t dissipate for a long time.

Limit break skill: Thousand Hammered!

“This move is not bad.” Wang Ye was satisfied.

Under the dumbfounded gazes of the disciples and Undying-level experts, he leaped and entered the middle mountain area, maintaining a “low” profile..
