Chapter 667: Chapter 203 Regardless, you win! 【Two in One】_3 Chapter 667: Chapter 203 Regardless, you win! 【Two in One】_3 Dong Xiaoyan opened her bewildered eyes, feeling as if she understood yet did not fully comprehend.

The Cat Emperor took one look at her expression and understood. He let out a soft sigh, pulling out a chopstick from his Space Ring.

“Do you see it?”

“I see it.”

Crack.

“If you grab both ends with your hands and break it, it’s easy, right?”

“Of course.”

He took out another chopstick.

“If you use of the two hands to try to break it halfway, how much strength is needed?”

Following his demonstration, Dong Xiaoyan tried herself and said, “At least three times more force than before.”

“What if both hands are holding the middle part?”

The Cat Emperor held a chopstick in his hand, almost touching his hands together at the very middle, “How about breaking it like this?”

“To break it like this…”

Dong Xiaoyan took it and tried. Crack.

The chopstick snapped.

“Compared to before?” the Cat Emperor asked.

“The force used is dozens of times more. That’s the key difference!” Dong Xiaoyan’s complexion revealed astonishment.

“Exactly, this is the difference. Feng Yin’s blade utilises the exact same principle.”

The Cat Emperor held the chopstick again and demonstrated.

“You see, he uses a knife, but what he applies is always limited to a section of the blade. The rest just exists to maintain balance or to apply force, nothing more.”

“But using a blade in such a way requires great difficulty in timing, and to make matters even more challenging…”

The Cat Emperor sighed: “I estimate the force application point of this type of blade technique is probably the weakest and the most challenging to exert strength on the blade. This is how a powerful force is attached in an extremely ingenious way, hence enhancing its power, more than doubled…”

“Indeed, such blade control requires an incredibly refined technique.”

The Cat Emperor inhales deeply: “A blade technique like this… just a single move could be an unbeatable trick throughout one’s life in the martial world!”

Feng Yin, who was listening on the side, suddenly gained enlightenment.

Although he received the inheritance of Sky Opening Nine Styles and mastered using the manoeuvres within it, his own understanding was shallow. He knew how to use it but did not know the reasoning behind it.

Due to his lack of understanding of the technique’s principles, he only mastered the application of the technique. After the Cat Emperor’s explanation, although Feng Yin felt the essence of the Sky Opening Nine Styles should be above the Cat Emperor’s assessment, the basic principle should indeed be as such.

He also understood something else. That is, with the enemy he couldn’t beat with other blade techniques, he could defeat him with one stroke of the Sky Opening Nine Styles.

Why is there such a huge difference in the result when he used nearly the same amount of force?

So, that’s it! This is the truth!

After listening to the Cat Emperor’s explanation, Dong Xiaoyan pondered, then respectfully asked, “So, how exactly do we use it in practice?”

“Understanding such a technique lies in a moment of enlightenment and years of honing. It requires both talent and relentless practice. Even for me, I only grasp the concept but lack a thorough understanding.”

The Cat Emperor gave a bitter smile. The little girl’s ambition wasn’t small at all; she even wanted to master this unique technique!

“Of course, I want to master it since I’m aware of its existence!” Dong Xiaoyan was quite anxious.

“Everyone has their own unique talents, and personal circumstances too.”

Continued the Cat Emperor: “Some people use the knife for their whole life but never reach a high level of mastery. However, with other weapons they could easily attain perfection, such as the sword, spear, whip… or some people, just use throwing knives to reach such a realm.”

The Cat Emperor continued: “It’s said that a long time ago, there was a man who was an expert in using both the sword and knife, a renowned master in the martial arts world. Little known to others, his throwing knife skill was truly unmatched in the world!”

“For his knife, each strike was lethal, even for the martial artists whose skills were several levels higher than his, still couldn’t withstand.”

“This shows the display of talent in a particular aspect.”

The Cat Emperor paused and continued: “However, even that man himself could not explain why his throwing knife was so powerful. Throughout his life, he never managed to develop a complete theoretical technique. His disciples and successors were also known for their throwing knives, but none of them really reached his level. Or perhaps, it should be said that the throwing knife only became powerful and invincible when it was in his hand.”

“People like him who discovered and applied their talents well are rarely seen.”

Patting the hair of Dong Xiaoyan, the Cat Emperor said: “So, you shouldn’t try to go too far on this path. It is too vague, not even in sight. It’s better to focus on practising your inherited art, the orthodox way of cultivation. Perhaps, one day, when you have a flash of inspiration, you could comprehend something. Until then, don’t stray from your path. Once you’ve lost your way, it’s hard to return!”

“Because it’s not something you can find easily!”

“I understand.”

Seeing Dong Xiaoyan’s defeatist attitude, it was clear that she felt discouraged.

She simply couldn’t understand. Why could Feng Yin do it, but not her?

Could it be that his luck was so good that even she the Cloud Palace’s young lady wouldn’t compare?

“As of right now, who wins if I duel with him and he uses that blade?” Dong Xiaoyan reconsidered and asked.

“You would win! Definitely!”

The Cat Emperor was very sure.

“Really?”

“Of course, it’s true! Your level is much stronger than his. It’s far beyond what a technique can compensate for!”
