In the front yard of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency.
As soon as Old Ma saw Jiang Yuan, he said with joy on his face, "Young Master, you are truly amazing! Gu Mo's swordsmanship talent is indeed as terrifying as you said!"
"Oh? How so?"
"Just before you arrived, Gu Mo had completely understood the Wind and Thunder Sword Technique. In half a day, he surpassed all that the old master had learned in his lifetime. This is simply unbelievable!"
Old Ma's face was full of astonishment.
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan just smiled, not at all surprised.
Just now, he had personally experienced the power of blue Innate Destiny, so naturally, he understood that the purple Innate Destiny above it would be even more terrifying.
Now, no matter how Gu Mo performed, he thought it was only natural.
At this moment, Gu Mo was still closing his eyes in the distance.
Suddenly, he seemed like a sword drawn out of its sheath, full of a fierce and formidable aura.
"Young master, what is he..." Old Ma asked in surprise.
"I suspect Gu Mo is comprehending the Sword Intent!"
"Sword Intent? No... no way!" Old Ma's eyes widened, "Isn't Sword Intent something only immortal beings can comprehend in legends? If we mortals can comprehend Sword Intent, we are destined to transcend into immortality. Gu Mo is only at the seventh level of Body Forging, the blood transformation level, how could he possibly comprehend Sword Intent?"
Faced with Old Ma's doubt, Jiang Yuan just smiled and didn't say anything.
Gu Mo doesn't just possess the purple level Innate Destiny- Sword God Potential.
He also has a green-level Innate Destiny - Born with Spirit, a naturally strong spiritual force.
"Born with Spirit": Naturally possesses a strong spirit, exceptional senses, and powerful mental strength.
With his powerful swordsmanship talent and strong mental power, it's not impossible for him to understand Sword Intent ahead of time. In fact, it would be unreasonable if he couldn't.
Both men stood in place for a long time.
Gu Mo slowly opened his eyes.
In an instant, it seemed as if a sword light flashed in his eyes, unusually bright.
Jiang Yuan walked over, "How do you feel?"
Gu Mo, who hadn't smiled for a long time, suddenly showed a trace of a smile on his face.
"Very good! Extremely good! Thank you, young master, for your guidance. I now understand myself!"
Gu Mo's eyes were bright, and he spoke with an exuberant spirit.
At the same time.
Old Ma came over with an envious look on his face, "Gu Mo, did you really comprehend Sword Intent?"
Gu Mo nodded and then shook his head.
"I'm still a little short, but after a few days of contemplation, I'm confident I can consolidate my Sword Intent."
Hearing this, Old Ma was stunned and speechless.
"Just as the young master said..."
Then he looked at Jiang Yuan with a face full of admiration, "Young master, you are truly a divine being!"
Gu Mo also looked at Jiang Yuan with full respect, "Young master, I will never forget the kindness you have shown me today."
Jiang Yuan smiled and changed the subject, "After learning the Wind and Thunder Sword Technique, has your blood transformation progression improved?"
Gu Mo shook his head.
"There hasn't been much change in that regard, just a slight improvement. However, my strength has greatly improved compared to before."
He held the huge sword in his hand, "Young Master, I feel that the Sword Intent I'm about to comprehend is not suitable for heavy swords, but more suitable for light swords. The Wind and Thunder Sword Technique contains two truths, wind, and thunder, and I have a deeper understanding of the wind."
"I'll have someone make a new long sword for you tomorrow."
"Thank you, young master!"
Jiang Yuan nodded slightly, lost in thought.
All the changes in Gu Mo were within his expectations, but the lack of significant change in the blood exchange progression was somewhat unexpected.
Subconsciously, he opened Gu Mo's panel for another look.
[Name]: Gu Mo
[Realm]: 7th level of Body Forging
[Innate Destiny]: Potential of Sword God (Purple), Born with Spirit (Green), Basic Understanding of Saber Techniques (White)
Then his gaze once again gathered on the Sword God Potential.
[Potential of Sword God]: Outstanding talent in the way of the sword, can be considered a God among mortals. All sword cultivation techniques can progress at an extremely fast pace.
After a detailed reading of its description,
Jiang Yuan suddenly understood something.
Perhaps his talent was not in the Body Forging Realm.
So even if his swordsmanship talent was high, his cultivation efficiency in the Body Forging Realm was limited, and it didn't show as exaggeratedly as Zhao Li's.
In the realm of Body Forging, in terms of the speed of forging the body, his previous green-level Extraordinary Physique might be even more potent.
Each Innate Destiny has different focuses, and their effects may be drastically different.
With this realization, Jiang Yuan gained some new insights.
Then, Jiang Yuan said: "Gu Mo, how much stronger are you compared to before?"
Gu Mo pondered for a moment: "Before, I was only mid-tier in the 7th level of Body Forging, but now I am confident that I am unmatched in the same realm within Lin'an County. Even if I face someone in the 8th level of Spirit Nurturing, I am not afraid."
When he said this, he added another sentence: "In a few days, the Wind and Thunder Sword Technique will be more refined, and my strength can improve even further. If I succeed in comprehending the Sword Intent, I am confident to fight someone in the 9th level of Body Forging."
Upon hearing this, Old Ma exclaimed in disbelief: "That's so exaggerated, you can actually fight across realms? The strength of the 8th level is more than double that of the 7th, with some even reaching nearly ten thousand jin of tremendous power. Their internal energy is several times stronger, aren't you afraid?"
Gu Mo nodded: "Not afraid!"
Jiang Yuan said: "That's enough! Tomorrow, you and I will go out of the city together, to the place where my father died, to collect his body and build him a tombstone."
"No, absolutely not!" Old Ma quickly advised: "If we don't disclose his death, we have a chance to breathe. According to Gu Mo, his strength will improve a lot in a few days, and we will have the power to protect ourselves then."
"If the death of the old master is confirmed, even with the protection of the county lord, we will face a crisis."
He paused, then said: "The most crucial point is that Lei Zhan was tricked by the young master before, if he gets the news from the city, he will definitely come looking for the young master in a fit of rage. Even with Gu Mo, we cannot hold back a pack of wolves?"
Jiang Yuan shook his head: "As a son, how can I let my father's body be left in the wilderness!"
Then he said: "Besides, who said it's only up to Gu Mo."
After that, Jiang Yuan lightly placed his right palm on Old Ma's shoulder, exerting a slight force.
Boom!
The stone slab under Old Ma's feet instantly shattered, and the ground slightly sunk.
His face turned red, and he was shaking as if he was about to kneel at any moment.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan immediately withdrew his strength.
"How about it?"
Old Ma took a deep breath, his face full of disbelief.
"How is this possible! Young master, when did you become so powerful! One hand suppressed me to the point where I couldn't breathe! This power! It's almost inhuman! Young master, what is your current level?"
"Sixth level, Marrow Training."
Jiang Yuan then asked: "What do you think of my current strength?"
Old Ma pondered for a moment and said: "If we don't consider combat experience, young master's power just now is enough to dominate in the same realm. It's not at all weak compared to the 7th level of Body Forging, and even stronger to some extent."
Jiang Yuan smiled without answering.
Just now, he had only used three layers of power and managed to suppress Old Ma, a good hand in the 6th level of Body Forging, with one hand.
It seems now that he is fully capable of fighting against a master of the 7th level.
Not only is his strength terrifying, but the strength of his body in various places also far exceeds that of ordinary people.
When integrated into a whole, it is not as simple as one plus one equals two.
Jiang Yuan said: "Gu Mo and I are almost equivalent to a master of the 8th level and a master of the 7th level. What's the harm in going out of the city?"
Old Ma nodded upon hearing this: "Then I will follow the young master's arrangements."
Gu Mo also said: "Just follow the young master's orders."
Jiang Yuan nodded: "That's settled then, we will set off early tomorrow morning."
Then he thought to himself, "We share the same name and same face, and must have some unknown connection."
This way, it can also be considered as understanding a bit of cause and effect.
