The sword slashes the Physical Body, the heart slashes the Soul.
Xiao Xue looked at the basic introduction of [Heart Sword] and nodded to herself.
The reason she chose Heart Sword was that this technique could be performed simultaneously with her sword moves!
This move kills invisibly!
You might think it's just a normal sword move, but it carries Soul damage within it!
In other words, as long as she wishes:
Every one of her sword strikes can not only cause damage to another's Physical Body, but can even injure the Soul!
You can block a tangible sword, but can you block an intangible one?
Compared to Soul Dou Techniques like [Ancient Dragon Roar], which have obvious charging actions;
Attacks like [Heart Sword], which can hide the preparation movements within the sword moves, are undoubtedly much harder to defend against.
Moreover, [Heart Sword] is undoubtedly a Soul Dou Technique well worth investing in.
The stronger her Soul Power, the stronger the power of [Heart Sword] will be.
Xiao Xue could already imagine the scenes of the future.
Perhaps in battle, you clearly blocked the incoming Sword Qi, but in the next moment, your Soul is annihilated and you die;
Or perhaps, while still in your dreams, your Soul is silently severed, dying without a sound.
Xiao Xue wore a long-lost smirk:
I take pleasure in killing in dreams.
She clicked directly on [Heart Sword], scrolled the interface to the very bottom, and clicked [Purchase].
[Ding, do you wish to spend 3,000,000 experience points to purchase [Heart Sword]?]
Xiao Xue clicked [Confirm] without hesitation.
[Ding, you have successfully purchased [Heart Sword]!]
Three million experience points, it's practically throwing money away!
If it weren't for Medusa pushing the Alliance and having a large amount of prestige value coming in.
Xiao Xue wouldn't have been able to afford these three million.
However, even if she spent more than half of her fortune, Xiao Xue didn't feel any heartache at all.
experience points and such are all worldly possessions.
On the Fighting Qi Continent, strength is the foundation!
After purchasing [Heart Sword], Xiao Xue was also qualified to view more detailed information:
A Mortal Realm Great Perfection Soul can Cultivate the basic introductory part of [Heart Sword], the Control Chapter.
And the Control Chapter is divided into the Nine Decisions: [Condense, Scatter, Sharp, Tough, Soft, Hard, Dance, Illusion, Merge].
According to the System introduction, once all Nine Decisions reach Major Achievement, the mastery of Soul Power will be greatly improved.
Soul Power can be formed thick like an iron plate to smash people, or thin like a sword blade to directly pierce the opponent!
At that time, if you have ten parts of strength, you can use all ten, or even more, when facing an enemy!
Nine Decisions Major Achievement, Thorough Sword Heart!
Logically speaking, once Soul Power leaves the body, it is difficult to condense, and its power would be greatly reduced.
But after the Nine Decisions reach Major Achievement, the Soul Power will become incredibly condensed and sharp, fully capable of being used as a weapon!
Using a Soul sword to slash people is also not a problem!
However, without sufficient methods and tricks, it is very, very difficult for a person to grope their way to this level.
After the introduction, [Heart Sword] is divided into nine layers.
The first eight layers correspond to the Early, Middle, Late Stage, and Perfection stages of the Spirit Realm and Heaven Realm, respectively.
Only when Soul Power reaches the corresponding strength can one Cultivate them.
And the ninth layer can only be cultivated by an Emperor Realm Soul!
As mentioned before, [Heart Sword] is just a method of using Soul Power and cannot increase Soul Power.
Techniques that can increase Soul Power come at a different price.
Xiao Xue's current balance is no longer enough for her to squander.
However, she is not in a hurry.
Mortal Realm Great Perfection Soul Power is already quite strong in the current Northwest Continent.
Perhaps those Protectors of the Hall of Souls are at most this strong.
And some low-level Protectors might only be at the Mortal Realm Late Stage.
So for now, her Soul Power is sufficient.
What she needs to improve most now is her control over Soul Power.
If the control is not enough, it's equivalent to a child holding an RPG.
If, when the time comes, she only knows how to do an indiscriminate AOE attack, that would be embarrassing.
And the Control Chapter Nine Decisions of [Heart Sword] are enough for her to study for a while.
Xiao Xue estimates that if she can master the Nine Decisions in two to three years, that would be quite good.
First Fire Lotus, then Heart Sword, why do I feel like I've become a mage?
With her Soul Power reaching Mortal Realm Great Perfection, she can definitely be considered an invincible existence among her peers in the Northwest Continent.
Even, without borrowing Ah Li's power, just borrowing a bit of Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire to make a Fire Lotus;
After mastering [Heart Sword] and refining the Bone Chilling Flame, she can even fight enemies across ranks.
[Heart Sword] is definitely a powerful weapon for bullying weaker opponents.
And this weaker opponent refers not to cultivation level, but to Soul strength.
If facing someone with Soul strength lower than hers, perhaps she could slash out a Heart Sword just by glancing at the opponent.
Causing the opponent's Divine Soul to be completely destroyed, Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering!
And the [Equality of All Beings] and [Precision Strike] Fire Lotuses can even kill enemies across ranks.
In other words, even if dozens or hundreds of people of the same level were standing right in front of her;
With a single thought, she could wipe them all out!
—Looking at you once, and you are dead!
Xiao Xue shook her head and stopped thinking about it.
As evening approached, Xiao Xue and Medusa landed in a small city in the north of the Izumo Empire.
Further up is the Northern Cold Land.
And going in directly now is obviously an unwise move.
Therefore, the two decided to stay here for a day to make full preparations before entering the ice field.
After using Beast Fire to heat up some food and finishing dinner, the two returned to their respective rooms to begin to Cultivate.
Although a Dou Ling no longer needs food, she can replenish her stamina by absorbing the energy of heaven and earth.
However, for a Hanxia person, no matter where they go, good food cannot be missed.
If one gives up good food, it is equivalent to giving up many wonderful things in life.
Excluding the clean and hygienic ones from A-San.
After returning to her room, Xiao Xue first refined a Monster Core to give to Ah Li as a snack.
Then, she sat cross-legged to regulate her breathing and began to Cultivate the Control Chapter.
After the [Condense] decision reaches Major Achievement, Soul Power can be condensed, just like a physical object.
With her mind immersed in her body, Xiao Xue slowly began to Cultivate according to the guidance in the Control Chapter.
As Xiao Xue cultivated, waves of faint Soul fluctuations slowly spread out.
Normally, Xiao Xue could naturally control her Soul Power so that it would not affect the outside world.
But when cultivating a Soul Dou Technique, she naturally did not have the extra energy to Divided Soul and pay attention to the outside world.
And even the fluctuations that leaked out unintentionally were just a tiny sliver to Xiao Xue.
But for the others in the inn, this level of fluctuation already made them quite uncomfortable.
Medusa, in the next room, also exited her Cultivation state and frowned slightly.
This little one, has she had another Breakthrough?
