Sword Technique

Master Cedric Silver explained one by one about the basic sword techniques that he taught to the students in the Dragon Earth Tower. For the second technique, he explained that it was used to attack opponents. This technique combines the power of inner energy within the body with the aura of the sword held in their hands. However, this technique still uses a physical sword, which greatly affects the strength of the sword.

The third technique is a defensive and offensive sword technique. With this technique, cultivators can both attack and defend against enemy counterattacks. However, this technique will be very difficult to master for those with low energy and spiritual realms in martial arts. He explained that at least one must master martial arts techniques at the sixth heavenly level. If cultivators below that level force themselves to use this technique, there is a high probability of fatally attacking themselves.

In this Sword Technique, the most prominent is Galen Blackthorn, the friend of Julius. The young man is truly skilled in using sword techniques and channeling inner energy into the sword. Almost all the students and Masters there admired Galen Blackthorn's abilities. Only Julius saw it as nothing out of the ordinary.

 Julius himself could also be categorized as a talented student in sword techniques. Although not as good as Galen Blackthorn, Julius could be considered the second best among the students mastering sword techniques in the Tower of the Dragon Earth at the Academy of the Tower of the Gods. Master Cedric himself was truly proud to see the achievements of the students of the Tower of the Gods at the Tower of the Dragon Earth that he taught.

"Your swordsmanship skills are excellent. On average, the sword techniques you master after receiving lessons are above the quality of your senior predecessors. However, none of you have been able to awaken the sword spirit yet to make your sword techniques more lifelike. Maybe in the next training session, I will teach you how to awaken the sword spirit."

Master Cedric then concluded his teaching by giving motivation to the students. He reminded the new students to continue practicing diligently. Because there will be a competition held by the Academy's chairman. Of course, whoever wins will be very fortunate to cultivate in the Tower of the Gods under the direct guidance of the Academy's chairman.

After the training session ended, Julius and Galen Blackthorn didn't just stop there. They asked permission from the guards of the Dragon Earth Tower to continue training elsewhere. They planned to practice together on the new sword technique they had just learned. This was proposed by Galen Blackthorn so that Julius could have an advantage on one side even though his martial spirit realm was relatively low compared to the other students.

Julius and Galen Blackthorn went to a hill not far from the Dragon Earth Tower. There they began practicing sword techniques. In this case, Galen Blackthorn acted as the Master between them. Although it could be said that Julius excelled in sword mastery techniques. However, he didn't want to show it to his friend.

The sword technique in the Tower of the Gods was still below the level of the sword technique he mastered when he was Davis Max in his world. As the God of Light who possessed the universal light sword, of course, the highest sword technique was the one he used. Compared to the sword techniques he was learning now; it was still far behind.

 Julius has not dared to try the sword technique he once mastered in his new body. He worries that his body may still not be able to withstand the great power that emerges from that sword technique. If that were to happen, he would truly perish and forever disappear from the universe. This opportunity for life is truly utilized by the God of Light within Julius's body to undergo a process of rebirth and rise to become the highest god.

However, what Julius still doesn't understand is the current world he lives in. Until now, he has not met anyone who holds the rank of a godlike cultivator. Yet in the past, it was very easy for him to detect the presence of gods. Although at that time he was still within a human body reincarnated as Davis Max.

Galen Blackthorn began to demonstrate the sword technique he understood to Julius. To the eyes of an ordinary human, the sword technique displayed by the young man was indeed admirable. However, Julius's perspective was different; he could still see various shortcomings in his friend's mastered technique. Yet, he didn't reveal it and instead showed admiration to make his friend feel happy. But it seemed that Julius's demeanor could be read by Galen Blackthorn.

"Julius, I know you're actually a very clever cultivator. It's just that your physical condition doesn't support you to progress faster. I could see earlier that you were able to identify the flaws in the sword technique I possess. If you don't mind, would you tell me so that all the shortcomings I have can be addressed?" Galen Blackthorn sincerely asked for guidance from his friend.

"You praise me too much!" Julius replied with a smile to his friend.

 Julius then explained to Galen Blackthorn about some of the shortcomings of the sword technique practiced by his friend. He said that every rotation Galen Blackthorn made created a gap at the end of each rotation. There was an empty energy gap that didn't protect Galen Blackthorn's defense. If this were known by an opponent, it would undoubtedly be fatal.

Hearing Julius's account, Galen Blackthorn was half-believing, half-doubting. He then asked Julius to attack him as per his words earlier. Without any hesitation, Julius attacked Galen Blackthorn after he used the sword technique he had learned. After making several rotations in his attack, Julius exploited the danger of those rotations to strike at the empty point in Galen Blackthorn's defense.

Suddenly, Galen Blackthorn stumbled from the sword thrust performed by Julius. He was very surprised to find out that what Julius had said earlier was indeed true. Even though he had used all his strength to defend himself, it turned out that the sword technique he had learned from Master Cedric still had flaws. Instantly, admiration for his friend emerged in Galen Blackthorn's heart.
