Chapter 107 Knife and Sword
The sword fight ultimately ended peacefully thanks to the intervention of the Mind's Eye Blade.
Heart-Eye Blade—no, now he is revered by the martial arts world as the leader of the martial arts alliance.
After the world was at peace, he lost interest in mundane affairs and went back to that high mountain.
By this time, this unknown, remote mountain had acquired its own name, and a small town had formed at its foot.
The place where he practiced his swordplay was called Sword Peak, and the place where he trained his sword was known as Sword Ridge.
More than a decade of trials and tribulations passed in the martial arts world, but he devoted himself to honing his skills and delving into research, and he came to understand a truth.
That which is above form is called the Way; that which is below form is called the instrument. A knife is a sword, and a sword is also a knife!
Swords are neither good nor evil, but people are divided into right and wrong. Swords can kill, but they can also save lives!
Knife skills and swordsmanship are essentially one, depending on the person rather than the technique. At this moment, his realm has already encompassed and even transcended the struggle between knives and swords.
In the end, he actually integrated the sweeping, fierce, and powerful sword techniques with the elegant, unpredictable, and treacherous sword techniques, creating a unique martial art that was unparalleled in the world!
This martial arts manual is known as the 'Dual Kill with Sword and Saber'!
Bai Family Courtyard
A massive influx of information hit him, making Han Yi, who was already suffering from a hangover, feel like his head was about to split open!
Time seemed to slow down, and all sounds fell silent.
In Han Yi's mind, only scenes flashed by, and a unique aura emanated from him. It was a strange aura, possessing the weight of a mountain and the ferocity of blood!
Half of his body resembled a demon crawling out of a pile of corpses, as if he wished to annihilate himself and everything in front of him, a sight that tugged at the heartstrings.
The other half of his body resembled a golden-bodied deity cultivating atop a towering mountain, capable of crushing clouds and majestic mountains with a mere wave of his hand, inspiring awe and awe.
Two opposing forces clashed, intertwined, and then merged...
For some reason, this simulation took an unusually long time.
The journey was so long that Han Yi felt as if his brain had been stuffed with various fragments in a wooden mortar, with countless scattered snowflakes and scraps of cloth flying around in utter chaos.
After what seemed like an eternity, or perhaps a fleeting moment, Han Yi slowly opened his eyes after a brief period of dizziness.
His face was pale and weak. He took deep breaths of fresh air and touched the small jade Buddha beside him, which cheered him up a bit.
Then, a powerful aura surged forth from his body.
Bang!
Inside the room, in unseen corners, and through cracks in doors and windows, countless specks of dust were shaken out, instantly brightening the entire room.
Suddenly, a profound understanding of swordsmanship arose in his mind, and the basic saber techniques he had already mastered quietly merged with his swordsmanship, becoming inseparable...

A low-grade Xuan-level martial art!
Han Yi was slightly dazed. He had heard that the highest level of martial arts techniques practiced by the inner disciples of the 'Crimson Flame Sect' was only the upper-grade Yellow Rank.
Unexpectedly, the deduction of the basic mortal-level swordsmanship and the high-grade yellow-level Bai family swordsmanship resulted in such a significant improvement…
In the last simulation, the mortal-level Mountain-Crushing Fist and the low-grade Yellow-level Thunderclap Palm were used to derive the high-grade Yellow-level 'Thunderclap Palm Technique', but it was only a small-level improvement. This time, however, it was a leap across a whole new stage!
No wonder it took so long this time….
As for the new features of 'dual-wielding' – 'Concentration' and 'dual-wielding'…...
He could sense that the basic swordsmanship's swordplay and mental focus had merged into one, transforming into a new characteristic: synergy.
'Focus' is similar to the previous 'Mind's Eye' ability, but it seems to be a bit more powerful and is no longer limited to using a knife.
Although Han Yi's hands are empty now, it seems that he has grown a pair of invisible eagle eyes, which can observe any situation around him at any time, and can spontaneously fight back!
The 'dual-wielding' feature needs little explanation; Han Yi can now wield either a knife or a sword with ease and at his command.
He could even use both hands simultaneously, wielding the Bloodthirsty Sword in his left hand and the Armor-Piercing Blade in his right. Just imagining that scene is wonderful!
Let's take a look at my overall strength...
With bare hands, the previous '60~69' has been dramatically changed to '65~95'!
Although the defensive power has not changed much and is still effective in the mid-stage of Blood Refining, the attack power has increased significantly due to the comprehension of sword and saber techniques, and is now almost as powerful as that of a martial artist in the Meridian Opening stage!
In that case, if I were fully armed, wearing leather armor and wielding a Xuan Tie sword, could I temporarily match a martial artist who has opened the meridians with the help of external aids?
Han Yi pondered to himself, "The sect's minor competition is the day after tomorrow. After that, the inner disciple initiation ceremony will take place. Logically and emotionally, I have to show up..."
Thinking of this, Han Yi's eyes suddenly turned cold and sharp.
He thought of Elder Li. Although Elder Li probably wouldn't make trouble for him in such a big occasion as the sect's minor competition, he still had to be careful!
Elder Li, being a Pulse Stage Martial Master, has an overall strength estimated to be between 105 and 160...
Although I now have the initial strength to contend with those in the Meridian Opening stage, it's not enough!
Add more!
Then, another mysterious feeling emerged.
In that instant, even though he hadn't done anything, just thought about it a few times, something strange seemed to happen to his body.
The skin on the palms and backs of his fists gradually became rough, and then turned into calluses.
His arms, too, seemed to undergo some subtle adjustment in the silent kung fu practice; the muscles and bones became more coordinated and graceful, seemingly more suited to the application of fist and palm techniques…
Han Yi now resembles a martial artist who has diligently practiced fist and palm techniques for many years, with full and powerful muscles throughout his body.
