Fantasy: I Am the Villain.

Chapter Twenty-Four: Laws

The figure formed from the gray mist patiently demonstrated the "Heartbreaking Sword Technique" to Bai Ke again and again, as if Bai Ke wouldn't give up until he mastered it.

Inside the system space training ground, swords flashed like lightning, and figures flew about, a sight that was almost too dazzling to behold. Bai Ke stared wide-eyed as he studied the scene closely, occasionally making some hand gestures.

This "Heartbreak Sword Technique" even comes with its own set of footwork, which is no less impressive than the Lingbo Steps.

However, this set of footwork is more ghostly. The Lingbo Weibu is based on the sixty-four hexagrams of the I Ching and tests the user's mental calculation and deduction abilities more.

It requires a great deal of skill in predicting the opponent's next move. Bai Ke has lived two lives, and in his previous life he was forced to study, so his mental math skills can be said to be far superior to his peers.

As for those seasoned veterans, they're not even in the same league. The spiritual power they've accumulated over time far surpasses anything Bai Ke received in his nine years of compulsory education.

As Bai Ke gradually integrates into this world, he also discovers that his experiences in his previous life are not entirely without benefit to him now.

For example, in their understanding of the sixty-four hexagrams of the Book of Changes, Duan Yu and Bai Ke obtained the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) on the same day. When Duan Yu was still using it unsteadily, sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't.

Bai Ke has grasped the essence of it all, and he was able to remain unharmed even amidst a hail of arrows. This is the benefit of mastering the theory of divination.

By mastering the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique), Bai Ke can always maintain the initiative and, whether fighting alone or in a group, always be able to occupy a safe position based on the situation.

Unless it's a large-scale, all-encompassing attack, simple melee combat poses no threat to Bai Ke now.

Compared to the mental calculation and deduction of Lingbo Weibu, the footwork in Anran Xiaohun Swordplay has a much narrower scope of application, only used for close-quarters combat.

It's best to use it in conjunction with the Heartbreaking Sword Technique, which emphasizes extreme close-quarters combat, like a shadow following you.

When you reach the highest level of mastery, you can even merge into the opponent's shadow, hearing thunder in silence—this is the essence of the Heartbreaking Sword Technique.

"I never imagined it was such a profound sword technique, actually involving the Way of Shadows. No wonder Bai Ke practiced it to the point of his soul collapsing."

It is important to understand that comprehending the laws of heaven and earth is not easy. It requires great perseverance, great opportunity, and unparalleled comprehension to directly comprehend a particular law.

Then, by taking advantage of the laws of heaven and earth that descended at that moment, one could directly advance their cultivation to the Nascent Soul realm. However, this method requires extremely high aptitude.

Moreover, leaping across multiple major realms, directly from an ordinary person to the Nascent Soul stage, places an immense burden on the body, and the pain during this process is simply indescribable to outsiders.

Therefore, no one has tried this method since it was proposed, and it is considered nothing more than an unrealistic and delusional fantasy.

Bai Ke knew that he wasn't the only one in the world with such extraordinary opportunities, so he dared not underestimate the heroes of the world and dismissed such talk as nonsense.

He knew his own limitations, and his father strictly forbade him from comprehending the laws on his own before his cultivation level was high enough.

After all, this law is the way of the universe, and if one's soul strength is insufficient, it is tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock or a moth to a flame.

The white swordsman encountered this situation earlier. I don't know where he got this sword technique from, but although it was incomplete, it was still possible to practice it.

As his cultivation progressed to a higher level, he unconsciously began to touch upon the path of shadows. By the time he realized it, it was too late to turn back.

That's why our protagonist was able to successfully be reborn in another body, and Holmes Bai Ke was also unintentionally inspired by the martial arts arena, and found the real reason for the original body's death.

"I have thought of it, but I'm only at the Nascent Soul stage, and my soul's origin isn't strong and perfect yet, so I can't comprehend the laws..."

Moreover, this Path of Shadows and the Heart-Rending Sword Technique clearly belong to the assassination path, which doesn't quite suit this young master's temperament.

When breaking through from the Nascent Soul realm to the Infant realm, one needs to comprehend a law in order to break free from the constraints of the Golden Core by harnessing the power of heaven and earth and truly give birth to the Infant.

Bai Ke's souls have not yet fully merged; he is still in the stage of strengthening his soul's origin. Moreover, due to the fusion of his two souls, his soul power is extremely condensed and powerful.

In addition, he had absorbed the essence of a fire dragon, so Bai Ke had an extremely high compatibility with the laws of soul and fire.

Because Bai Ke's soul had once drifted in the void for a period of time with the help of the system, although it was nearly destroyed by the turbulent spatial currents that raged in the void.

However, his soul also inadvertently absorbed some spatial essence, which greatly improved his immunity to spatial travel compared to ordinary people.

Otherwise, do you think space travel is so easy? Bai Ke has traveled through the void twice. Well, strictly speaking, counting the time he was possessed, he has already had three experiences of space travel.

Even ordinary people get carsick, seasick, and airplane-sick, so how could traversing space not have some side effects? It's just that Bai Ke's soul absorbed some of the space's essence, which is why he was so calm and unaffected.

Therefore, there are three paths of law suitable for Bai Ke to choose from: the path of soul, the path of space, and the path of fire.

It's not that he can't cultivate the Path of Shadow, but this world values ​​aptitude and talent. Anyone with common sense knows which to choose: achieving twice the result with half the effort or achieving half the result with twice the effort.

Bai Ke was no exception. He wasn't entirely clear about his talent in the Way of Laws, but he could vaguely sense that he didn't particularly like the Way of Shadows.

In fact, this is something that happens unconsciously after one's cultivation reaches a certain stage, and one will unconsciously show their biases on the path of cultivation in the future, which is commonly known as likes and dislikes.

Everyone has a different understanding and inclination towards the laws of nature, just as different people have different personalities.

We say that no two leaves in the world are the same. Some people like flames, which are passionate, surging, and radiant.

Some people prefer the serene beauty of frost, while others prefer the eerie silence of shadows; these differences can be reflected in their distinct personality traits.

Bai Ke felt that he disliked the Way of Shadows, which was actually his subconscious rejection of this principle.

He prefers the exhilarating, direct, and intense impact of action, rather than the cunning of an assassin who lies in wait, strikes with deadly precision, and then vanishes into the distance.

Bai Ke's obsession with Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) reveals his subconscious choices, which is more than just a martial arts enthusiast's pursuit of famous martial arts skills.

The agile movements of the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) and the requirements of the I Ching (Book of Changes) all subtly contain some of the mysteries of spatial laws.

So perhaps it was all predestined that he would meet Duan Yu as soon as he transmigrated and learn the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique).

If he were to encounter someone else, it would likely take him a great deal of effort to learn this amazing skill.
