God of Tricksters

Chapter 1424 Teaching

In the end, the Sword Saint chose to ignore them. He walked to the training ground and looked at the disciples of the clan.

He let out a sigh, but he still said, "All of you are training your movements. The repetitive movement that you practice here is the one that will help you the most when you're on a mission. Even when you can't move your body due to fear, your instinct will force your body to move. That's why you have to keep up with your repetitive training. It's boring, but it is certainly useful.

"However, you are lacking one thing when you're training. You look serious when you're swinging your blade, but you're lacking one thing! You don't have any intention in each swing!

"Even if you're practicing swinging, you have to imagine yourself in a situation where you need to make that swing. In that situation, you might be attacked by a hidden weapon, an ambush, or a normal attack, but you have to imagine that situation before swinging your sword.

"In that situation, what do you intend to do with that swing? Why do you need to know the intention behind each swing? It's simple…" The Sword Saint suddenly pulled out his sword and turned around, striking the pillar behind him.

*Bam!*

The sound was like an explosion. It wouldn't be weird if the pillar, as well as their building, was cut in half after that swing.

All of them were startled by that loud noise and tried to see what was happening.

To their surprise, nothing happened. Not a single thing was harmed.

The Sword Saint sheathed his sword and pointed at the pillar. "You need to know the intention behind each swing. If you don't intend to cut something, even with the most powerful strike, you won't cut anything."

"Oooohhhh!" The people were stunned. The impact and the sound should be enough to make them believe the building would be destroyed, but the Sword Saint truly deserved his reputation. They couldn't help but cheer after seeing such an amazing strike.

However, the Sword Saint added, "And if you intend to cut something, then your sword will be able to cut anything."

Suddenly, the air was slit open, showing a voice as if someone with Space Affinity was here.

They were dumbfounded right after.

The Sword Saint just cut the air and opened the void while his strike actually hit the pillar. It was completely beyond their comprehension as to how he could do this.

However, his words from earlier stuck in their mind. They were thinking about the intention of each swing. Whether it was in training or in a real situation, they had to know about it.

The Sword Saint felt this was enough and stepped back. Of course, after getting played by the Heavenly Sovereign so many times, the Sword Saint smirked and said, "That's right. The one who is the most excited to visit this clan is this friend here, the Heavenly Sovereign. I'm sure that he loves to teach you something."

"What?!" The Heavenly Sovereign widened his eyes in shock.

The Sword Saint finally made a smug smile as if telling him, 'You think you can do everything you want? I'll make you show something so that the children of this country can learn about it and steal your ability.'

The Heavenly Sovereign realized that the Sword Saint held a grudge.

"The Heavenly Sovereign, the 2nd strongest person in the world."

"This is… such a rare opportunity."

"I never thought that I would be able to see two figures in the top ten in the world with my own eyes. I'll brag to my girlfriend. She's sure going to be my wife with that."

"That guy just jinxed it."

Seeing their comments, the Heavenly Sovereign scratched the back of his head.

"What should I show to you guys… seriously." The Heavenly Sovereign sighed.

"Creative, Tranquil, Clarity, Initiative, Gentle Entrance, In-motion, Completion and Receptive are eight basic attributes. Creativity needs a tranquil heart. A tranquil heart needs clarity of purpose. Once you get clarity, you have to take the initiative and so on.

"You have all of them but never use them at the same time. Like the Sword Saint said, if you have the intention to cut someone, that person will be cut. You have to be creative in your path, have a tranquil heart, search for the clarity of your goal, take the initiative, and so on.

"When you try to do something, you have to ask yourself about all these eight attributes. When you do it, your path will be clear." The Heavenly Sovereign finished his simple lecture. "That's all."

"O-oh!" The people were confused by his lecture. After all, it was a bit too high level for them.

"Show them something, will you? A demonstration is the best…" The Sword Saint glared at the Heavenly Sovereign.

The Heavenly Sovereign snorted. "No way. You told me to teach them something, so I did just that. It was your fault, not me."

"Wha—" The Sword Saint was startled. To think that the Heavenly Sovereign would be this shameless. It certainly surpassed his imagination.

However, the Heavenly Sovereign didn't stop at that level. He actually presented Theo to them. "This guy here is the reason for our visit. Since he wants to visit his friend, why don't we also ask him to SHOW you something?"

He emphasized the word 'show' so that Theo couldn't do the same trick. As expected of the Heavenly Sovereign, he was truly sly.

"That's a good idea." The Sword Saint agreed. His daughter learned a lot from him. According to her, Theo was a good teacher because he was a good student. He knew what the student needed to understand the lecture and convey it. If Theo taught them, they would certainly gain something good.

However, they were trying to trick Theo into showing something. Obviously, Theo wouldn't comply. Of course, he would be too shameless if he rejected the suggestion, so Theo only smiled. "I don't mind showing something, but I won't hold any responsibility for what will happen after this."
