Chapter 51: A Fraction of Sword Intent

I changed 'elemental energy/force' (Yuan Qi + Yuan Li) into 'yuan force'.

The Sun family didn't come looking for trouble, but Ye Tian remained vigilant.
During this time, he inquired about the Sun family and had to admit their strength.
To Ye Tian, the Sun family was like a bag of EXP.
Yes, a bag of EXP.
This was because many warriors of the Sun family surprisingly possessed innate talent in swordsmanship, which was incredibly unbelievable.
Ye Tian had long known that his parents had the same special talent, and there was a certain chance for offspring to inherit such special talents. However, he never imagined the Sun family would go to the extent of internal marriages due to their obsession.
"My cultivation talent has already reached a top-level. Copying more high-level cultivation talents isn't very useful. Perhaps I should copy the Sun family's swordsmanship talent next. Maybe it can transform my sword talent, upgrading it to a high-level swordsmanship talent!" Ye Tian decided.
Twenty days later, Ye Tian found an opportunity and secretly copied the intermediate swordsmanship talent of Sun Feng, who was wandering around.
Unfortunately, this copy and fusion did not transform Ye Tian's swordsmanship talent.
Another month passed, and Ye Tian discovered another young member of the Sun family with intermediate swordsmanship talent. The youth was not yet fifteen years old and hadn't started cultivating, but his swordsmanship talent was copyable.
After successfully copying the youth's intermediate swordsmanship talent, Ye Tian fused it and upgraded his own swordsmanship talent.
Swordsmanship Talent: High-level
Looking at the high-level swordsmanship talent, Ye Tian was extremely excited.
This was a high-level swordsmanship talent, which could definitely allow him to perfect a bronze-level sword technique.
Once a bronze-level sword technique reached perfection, his combat ability would undergo a transformation like heaven and earth.
But to comprehend a bronze-level sword technique to perfection, one must reach the Sword Intent Realm.
Previously hindered by his swordsmanship talent, he had always been stuck at the realm of perfect sword momentum, unable to comprehend even a hint of Sword Intent.
But now, with his swordsmanship talent upgraded, Sword Intent could definitely be comprehended.
"Comprehend!"
Ye Tian, holding a sword, sat cross-legged, using the sword to comprehend the elusive Sword Intent.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!!!
In the world of his thoughts, the sword in his hand seemed to come alive, pulling him into a wonderful world.
This was the world of the sword!
Time slowly passed.
After an unknown duration, Ye Tian suddenly had a revelation, and his understanding of the sword realm instantly improved.
Suddenly.
A strand of Sword Intent appeared, manifesting on Ye Tian's body.
Sword Intent, the will of the sword, is the culmination of refining sword momentum to its peak, forming Sword Intent under the perception of the sword realm.
At this moment, Ye Tian finally entered the threshold, comprehending a strand of Sword Intent. Although still weak, he had indeed stepped into the realm of Sword Intent.
For the following days, Ye Tian focused on comprehending Sword Intent, setting aside other cultivation practices.
In terms of cultivation, he had already reached the pinnacle of an Elite Martial Warrior, with a physical strength of 100,000 jin. The next breakthrough would be to the realm of a Great Martial Warrior.
He didn't want to enter the realm of a Great Martial Warrior yet, as his progress was too rapid.
Although his physical strength had reached the limit of an Elite Martial Warrior, his body's tempering was not yet truly complete.
Ye Tian planned to temper his skin, flesh, bones, and blood once more, making his foundation more solid. He firmly believed this was beneficial; otherwise, blindly pursuing strength would ultimately lead to a shaky foundation.
Five days passed.
Ye Tian concluded his cultivation of comprehending Sword Intent.
"A fraction of Sword Intent, not bad at all!" Ye Tian exhaled and said.
There were detailed divisions within the realm of Sword Intent: starting from a fraction of Sword Intent, progressing to one-tenth, then to three-tenths for minor completion, seven-tenths for major completion, and finally, a full ten-tenths for perfection.
However, comprehending Sword Intent was extremely difficult. Even with his high-level swordsmanship talent, it was unrealistic to expect a rapid advancement in the realm of Sword Intent.
Ye Tian clearly felt that after reaching a fraction of Sword Intent, the speed of comprehension slowed down significantly.
For him at the moment, fully focusing on comprehending Sword Intent was not very cost-effective. A fraction of Sword Intent was sufficient for the time being.
"Let's cultivate the Bronze-level Shadow Kill and the Bronze-level Qingfeng Slash sword techniques!" Ye Tian decided.
He had already cultivated these two Bronze-level sword techniques to the peak of great completion, just a step away from reaching perfection.
Now that he had achieved Sword Intent, nothing could stop him from reaching perfection.
In just one day, Shadow Kill successfully advanced to the perfection realm.
Then, after half a day, Qingfeng Slash also stepped into the perfection realm.
Thus, Ye Tian mastered two Bronze-level sword techniques at the perfection realm.
That day, Ye Tian began to evaluate his combat strength.
"My physical strength has already reached 100,000 jin. With the high-level strength amplification, I can reach 1 million jin, equivalent to the ultimate strength of a Great Martial Warrior. If I add the sixfold attack power amplification of Qingfeng Slash, that's equivalent to 6 million jin. This is comparable to the attack power of a Grandmaster, and even a normal Grandmaster's attack power is not as good as mine. Additionally, my speed has reached 12 times the speed of sound, surpassing the limit of a Great Martial Warrior, probably equivalent to a Grandmaster's speed."
Ye Tian estimated that, except for a somewhat weaker defense, he was essentially equivalent to a Grandmaster.
However, although his defense was weak, he possessed a top-tier healing talent, so even if he got injured due to his weak defense, he could recover quickly.
"Even if I fight a real Grandmaster, I won't be any weaker!"
Ye Tian was extremely confident.
Of course.
Ye Tian had not yet encountered a suitable defensive talent. If he did, he would make up for this deficiency.
"According to calculations, in another month, I will be able to temper my entire body to the extreme, and then I can confidently advance to the Great Martial Warrior level!"
Ye Tian looked forward with anticipation to how much his combat power would soar when he became a Great Martial Warrior. Probably even many Grandmasters would struggle to withstand his strike.
The Sun family.
Over these months, the Sun family's business gradually expanded. They not only purchased many shops but also completely opened a resource supply line, establishing a foothold in Linhai Base.
At this time, Sun Feng eagerly approached his father, Sun Qinghe.
"Father, isn't it time to make a move against Ye Tian?"
Sun Feng asked urgently.
"Three days later, I will personally slay Ye Tian!" Sun Qinghe promised.
"Thank you, father!"
Sun Feng was overjoyed, already imagining Ye Tian's downfall, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
