Novel Bin Chapter 196 - Lightning!
\'I want to combine both of my Sword Intents and make something I can control even with such low cultivation.\'
\'System, release my Sword Intent on my signal.\'
Ye Tian Yun took a deep breath and prepared himself while getting into a fighting stance.
With the sword held tightly in both hands and one leg ahead while the other a step behind, Ye Tian Yun was ready to practice the sword moves.
This time, however, he was going to work on the basic moves.
After a while, with his mind fully focused on the three basic moves, he called out in his mind, \'System, now!\'
And in the next instant, Ye Tian Yun was performing the three basic moves of Sword - Lunge, Parry and Ripostle.
He continued for a few seconds, before noticing something strange - System hadn\'t released his Sword Intent!
Frowning, he stopped the moves and asked, \'System, what\'s the matter? Why didn\'t you release the Sword Intent?\'
[Host, System was doing its calculations and assessing the chances of you succeeding in your endeavor]
\'Oh? So, what did you find?\'
[What you are planning is to use your nature less Sword Intent and restructure your existing Sword DOmain with its help so that you can easily control your Sword Domain Even with your low cultivation, right?]
\'Exactly, this is what my plan is, even though I don\'t know what are the chances of this to work out, but I still want to try this. What do you think about this plan though? Will it work?\'
[As per the System\'s assessment, the chances of this working out are very low]
\'Ah! How so?\'
[The answer is quite simple, it won\'t work out because two different natures of Sword Intent just can\'t work out together. There never has been such a case. Even though your new Sword Intent doesn\'t have any nature, it\'s still a kind of a Sword Intent, and two kinds of Sword Intents just don\'t mix up.]
\'Oh, I know about this, but I still want to take the risk and try my best. I can\'t think of any other way. I can\'t go ahead and cultivate a Sword Domain from my new Sword Intent because I can\'t sense its nature.\'
[Host, System has an idea about this. Why don\'t you recreate your older Sword Intent?]
\'Older Sword Intent? Do you mean the one with killing nature? Or…\'
[The lightning nature Sword Intent. You should try that.]
\'Hm? But why and how? If this was even possible, we wouldn\'t have struggled this much and tried to get a new Sword Domain.\'
[Host, it wasn\'t possible earlier; but now, the System thinks that there\'s a good chance for this to work out.]
\'Oh? How\'s that?\'
[Right now, what you have is something that\'s unheard and unseen before. And everything that you have thought about it is just an assumption. Why don\'t you think of it the other way? You should know that along with mastery and comprehension in the Sword, the other thing that\'s important to cultivate Sword Intent are your thoughts and the way of the heart.]
\'Hmm…\' Ye Tian Yun frowned and began to think about system\'s words.
However, it\'s not easy to just rinse every thought we have regarding someone or something. Thus, Ye Tian Yun was not able to get to a clear-headed state on this topic.
He asked, \'System, why don\'t you help me find a direction? How should I start with my thoughts?\'
[Host, why don\'t you assume your new Sword Intent to be a blank slate?]
\'A blank slate… hmm…\' Ye Tian Yun nodded his head and continued with his thoughts.
\'If my new Sword Intent\'s nature is like a blank slate… doesn\'t that give me the ability to modify and shape it into what I want? Won\'t I have full control over its state and directions? Maybe… I can even give nature of my own?\'
\'But these are also just assumptions…\'
[But it\'s better than just going in the wrong direction and doing something that might even have very drastic consequences. The chances of things going in the wrong direction are higher if you try to use your Killing nature Sword Intent with your newer Sword Intent… it might have the opposite reaction.]
\'Hmm… I understand the reaction.. But how will I get the new Sword Domain from a natureless Sword Intent?\' Suddenly something dawned on Ye Tian Yun, \'Oh wait, I understand now why you suggested me to focus on the lightning nature Sword Intent from my previous life.\'
[Yes Host, it\'s good that you understood my intentions]
Ye Tian Yun scratched his chin, \'Hmm, if I assume my Sword Intent to be like a blank state, then I can draw anything on it, I can try to make sense of a different Sword Intent. But since I have experience of only two Sword intents, I can\'t only work on them.\'
\'In fact, I don\'t need to send arrows in the dark and try to gather something senseless, it would be better if I can try and sense my first Sword Intent, the lightning Sword Intent.\'
\'There\'s no point in trying out my killing nature Sword Intent because I already know what will happen with it. It\'s better I try something that I have already controlled once and don\'t have it with me right now.\'
With a goal in his mind, Ye Tian Yun began to focus on how he needed to get the lightning nature of Sword intent.
In his previous life, Ye Tian Yun did get the lightning nature of Sword Intent, but that was like a stroke of random draw luck just like how everyone else gets it, based on hard work and talent.
There\'s no foolproof method to get a Sword Intent of a specific nature.
But Ye Tian Yun was able to think of a way that seemed feasible and possible.
Taking a deep breath, the first thing he needed to do was to calm his mind and focus on what he needed most right now.
Lightning.
