Chapter 107: The True Meaning of the Heavy Sword
"Killing Value? What is that? Check the personal attributes of the Son of the Demon God."
"Son of the Demon God, Level 13.
Attack Power: Health Points: 100%
Mana Value: 100%
Fury Value: 100%
Growth Value (Killing Value): 3,452,151
Strength:
Agility:
Intelligence:

Magic Damage: 0
Spell Critical Hit: 0
Attack Interval~~~
Movement Speed: 377."
"Is the Slaughter Value the same as the Growth Value?" Yang Chen asked in confusion. "Infuse all the Slaughter Value into the Shadow Kill Imperial Flag."
Then, Yang Chen watched as over three million Slaughter Value gradually decreased, eventually becoming 0/3452151. "Ding! Congratulations to player Yang Chen, the Shadow Kill Imperial Flag has upgraded to Celestial Artifact."
"Shadow Kill Imperial Flag (Level 6 Growth Type Celestial Artifact, can use Slaughter Value to assist its growth.)"
"Ha ha, within a radius of one million meters from the Shadow Kill Imperial Flag, members of the Shadow Kill with the Shadow Kill Yongbing emblem will have their attack power increased by 70%. When the Shadow Kill Imperial Flag grows to a Heavenly Artifact, the attack power of all Shadow Kill members on the Eastern Continent will increase by 100%! Wow, it will be exciting to battle against others then, my Shadow Kill members' attack power will double!!" Yang Chen said proudly, his face filled with satisfaction as he descended to the ground with the Shadow Kill Imperial Flag.
(To explain, Dou Huang strong individuals can battle in the Sky and fly freely. Dou Wang strong individuals can also float but cannot fly freely and cannot battle in the Sky. Additionally, the Devil's Kiss and Angel's Sigh can only be unsealed by currently killing and devouring the souls of living beings, so the Devil's Kiss in Yang Chen's hand is still just a ghostly weapon.)
"Salute to the leader." All members of the Shadow Kill camp knelt on one knee collectively and said respectfully, including Lin Tingting, Xiao Wentian, and Shi Heng.
"Rise." Yang Chen said sternly.
"Rise?" Xiao Wentian frowned.
"Thank you, leader."
"Today, after enduring countless hardships, we have forged our military flag - the Shadow Kill Imperial Flag. I hope everyone will not let it fall and will not allow our military soul to be extinguished!" Yang Chen declared.
"We are willing to use our flesh and blood to protect our indomitable Shadow Kill soul!" Li Qi shouted loudly.
"We are willing to use our flesh and blood to protect our indomitable Shadow Kill soul!"
"I am willing to use my flesh and blood to protect the immortal soul of Shadow Kill!"
"I am willing to use my flesh and blood to protect the immortal soul of Shadow Kill!"
After repeating it three times, Yang Chen stopped everyone and said, "Today, I appoint Li Qi as the General of my Shadow Kill Camp, commanding ten thousand men! His position is second only to mine!"
"Thank you, Leader." Li Qi respectfully said as he stepped forward to stand beside Yang Chen, taking the Shadow Kill Imperial Flag that Yang Chen handed over. He raised it high, facing the crowd.
Everyone knelt on one knee collectively and respectfully said, "We pay our respects to the General."
"No need for such formalities!" Li Qi said with authority, simultaneously thrusting the Shadow Kill Imperial Flag into the ground nine centimeters deep. After settling everyone down, Yang Chen once again entered the blacksmith shop, retrieving the eight hundred pounds of iron ore that Li Qi had brought last time, forging it madly. His experience in the realm of a blacksmith Grandmaster was also slowly increasing. After forging a Heavy Sword for Xiao Wentian, it would likely reach about 75%.
Thus, Yang Chen forged day and night for five days and nights, finally creating a giant Heavy Sword that was nine meters long, nine centimeters wide, and three centimeters thick. After a moment of silence, he inscribed the words 'Xuan Tie' on this refined ordinary weapon, which had been tempered thousands of times.
"Ah, finally completed," Yang Chen said with relief as he picked up the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword and walked towards where Xiao Wentian was practicing.
There stood a slender figure wielding a long silver sword, slowly swinging it, giving a sense of weightiness to the blade. Yang Chen placed the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword on the ground, startling Xiao Wentian. With a grin, he said, "Brother Xiao, how do you like the gift I've prepared for you? Do you like it? Ha ha."
Looking at the giant sword beside Yang Chen, Xiao Wentian exclaimed in surprise, "Leader, what are you playing at?"
Yang Chen walked over to Xiao Wentian, gently patting his shoulder and said, "Brother Xiao, don't you feel that your current sword technique is missing something?"
"That's right; it always feels like something is lacking in my swordsmanship," Xiao Wentian replied honestly.
"When I first told you, it was not the initial method of practicing the Heavy Sword. Of course, to practice the Heavy Sword, one must have the Heavy Sword," Yang Chen said.
"Weren't you the one who said that the True Meaning of the Heavy Sword is to not focus on the weight of the Heavy Sword? What should we do now?" Xiao Wentian asked.
"What I told you before about practicing the Heavy Sword without focusing on its weight was meant for you to grasp the essence of the Heavy Sword. Now that so many days have passed, I believe you have already mastered a bit of its profound meaning, right? So, let's officially begin sword practice now," Yang Chen conveyed knowledge like a teacher.
"The True Meaning of the Heavy Sword:
1. The Heavy Sword does not focus on weight! Pay attention to the weight of the sword and understand its meaning.
2. Not focusing on weight! When every strike you make embodies the essence of the Heavy Sword, is there still a need to emphasize whether it is a Heavy Sword or a Longsword?
3. The Heavy Sword is not about being heavy! Once the essence of weight has fully integrated into every move you make, everything becomes a sword; why should one care about what is in hand?" Yang Chen said.
"The True Meaning of the Heavy Sword: The Heavy Sword does not focus on weight, not focusing on weight, and the Heavy Sword is not about being heavy," Xiao Wentian murmured.
"In my hometown, there was a sword fanatic who dedicated his life solely to the way of the sword. In his youth, he wielded a light sword and defeated all martial artists of his level; at thirty, he took up a Xuan Tie Heavy Sword and conquered all opponents; at fifty, he practiced with a wooden sword that could be light or heavy, fast or slow, killing as easily as reaching into his pocket. By sixty, he carried a broken and decayed bronze sword and roamed the world, with no one able to defeat him. At eighty, he had no sword in hand but found swords everywhere. Since thirty, he called himself Dugu Qiubai and never faced defeat until his death!"
"Never faced defeat until death. After eighty years old, with no sword in hand but finding swords everywhere. How powerful must that sword intent be," Xiao Wentian murmured.
"Brother Xiao, I believe you can reach his level—no, surpass him! This sword is called Xuan Tie; it is truly a Xuan Tie in every sense. Made from eight hundred pounds of ironstone and forged through countless strikes. It weighs four hundred ninety-nine pounds, measures nine meters nine in length, nine centimeters in width, and three centimeters in thickness. However, it is merely an ordinary tool; do you know why?" Yang Chen asked.
"I do not know," Xiao Wentian respectfully replied.
"Killing millions of enemies without damaging the sword signifies mastery of the swordsmanship!" The one who spoke was, of course, the ordinary sword. After saying this, Yang Chen turned and left.
"Killing millions of enemies without damaging the sword signifies mastery of the swordsmanship. The highest realm of martial arts is that all things can be weapons (this is just a literal meaning). Iron, and it is Xuan Tie, is naturally much more solid than grass and wood. I am confident that I can achieve this too!" Xiao Wentian said confidently.
After Yang Chen left Xiao Wentian's location, he found Li Qi, who was arranging troops and practicing formations, and asked, "How does it feel?"
"Very good," Li Qi replied calmly.
"Later, come find me; I will teach you a few military formations. They change endlessly but remain true to their essence; the principles are always the same," Yang Chen said.
"Yes, Leader."
"You continue then. Is Aoying Bo over there?" Yang Chen inquired.
"He should be in the rear camp sparring with Brave Earl," Li Qi answered.
