Yu Zhengxing corrected him, "No, sword techniques are infinitely varied, and wielding a sword is ancestral; a good sword cultivator with a sword in hand can block a million soldiers, but inherently suffers from disadvantages in attack, with distance being the main issue. If you only take hits and never strike back, defeat is only a matter of time."
"Your close combat sword skills are very good, and you should maintain them. They will give your opponents a surprise when you're sizing each other up."
Hou Niao nodded. He thought so too. Although he couldn't block flying swords yet, it was a matter of realm, not a flaw in sword technique.
Yu Zhengxing continued, "There are six realms in the Sword Dao, and you have already grasped two—sword gall and sword intent, which are also the guarantee for your sharp attacks. The next threshold is Sword Consciousness, which is the premise for you to become a true sword cultivator."
