Chapter 180 Sword Intent Enhancement
Chu Yunfan chose to do this because he had just watched the duel between Shangguan Wan and Xiao Yi.
He discovered that his strength was still quite far behind that of the top inner disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect.
It's not just a huge gap in cultivation level, but also a gap in martial arts skills.
With only six months left until the Inner Sect Competition, he wanted to raise his strength to the point where he could compete with these people.
It's unrealistic to try to improve one's cultivation level, even though he can use treasures and pills to build up his cultivation to the peak of the Martial Venerable Realm.
However, he had just used that trick.
As a result, his current peak Martial Grandmaster cultivation level is still somewhat unstable.
If he continues to do this, it will be tantamount to destroying his own foundation and courting his own demise.
Improving martial arts skills is even less feasible, as it takes a considerable amount of time to do so, and the increase in strength is not as significant as directly improving one's cultivation level.
In this way, Chu Yunfan can only rely on his advantage in sword intent.
If he can raise the Wind Sword Intent to perfection, and then rely on the perfect Wind Sword Intent in combination with the Free and Unfettered Sword Intent, he will unleash an incomparably terrifying strength.
Of course, merely perfecting the sword intent of wind is not enough.
Chu Yunfan's current cultivation at the peak of the Martial Sect Realm is a whole major realm lower than that of top inner disciples like Shangguan Wan.
The resulting gap in strength due to such a huge difference in cultivation level is unimaginable.
Therefore, if Chu Yunfan wants to have the same strength as Shangguan Wan and others, he still needs to break through to the Martial Venerable Realm before the Inner Sect Competition.
In this way, the gap in cultivation between him and those top inner disciples will change from a major difference in cultivation realms to a minor difference in cultivation realms, reducing the gap in cultivation realms by many times, so that he won't drag down the overall strength too much.
Only by simultaneously improving his cultivation and sword intent could Chu Yunfan have a chance to compete for the top spot in the inner sect.
Of course, Chu Yunfan was not worried about breaking through to the Martial Venerable Realm.
At this moment, what he cares about is the perfection of the Wind Sword Intent.
Half a year may sound like a long time, but for someone who has mastered the essence of swordsmanship, it is only a moment.
While enduring the pressure of perfect sword intent, Chu Yunfan searched for perfect wind sword intent.
However, none of the several perfect sword intents he encountered were the wind sword intent that Chu Yunfan wanted.
At this moment, the sword intent of wind within Chu Yunfan's body was already overwhelmed.
Therefore, Chu Yunfan had no choice but to retreat to the area of Great Perfection Sword Intent to rest for a while before continuing to the area of Perfected Sword Intent to search for the Sword Intent of Wind.
While Chu Yunfan was desperately searching for the perfect Wind Sword Intent, news of his entry into the deepest part of the Inner Sect Sword Valley had already spread throughout the entire Inner Sect thanks to the extensive communication among the disciples.
However, at this critical juncture, the vast majority of capable inner disciples have already entered seclusion to prepare for the inner sect competition six months later.
Therefore, only a portion of the inner disciples knew that Chu Yunfan had already mastered the sword intent to perfection.
This is also a good thing for Chu Yunfan.
Normally, when Chu Yunfan entered the deepest part of the inner sect's Sword Valley, a large number of inner sect disciples would come to challenge him, affecting his comprehension of the Wind Sword Intent.
Of course, even now, there are still a few who have slipped through the net and have not yet officially entered the inner sect competition's closed-door training.
These few who slipped through the net were all disciples of the Martial Venerable Realm who had comprehended the sword intent.
Upon hearing of Chu Yunfan's feat of entering the deepest part of the inner sect's Sword Valley, they immediately rushed to the valley, wanting to challenge Chu Yunfan and verify his strength.
However, these few who managed to slip through the net were locked onto by a powerful aura before they could even enter the inner Sword Valley, causing them to stop in their tracks.
At the same time, a clear, cold voice rang in their ears:
"Go back, he doesn't have time for you right now!"
Upon hearing this voice, the faces of the few who had slipped through the net changed drastically.
Because that's Shangguan Wan's voice.
"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Sister Shangguan. We'll take our leave now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the few fish that had slipped through the net immediately slunk back to their caves.
"Don't let me down in the Inner Sect Competition!"
Shangguan Wan looked back at where Chu Yunfan was, and continued to guard the entrance of Sword Valley for a day. Only when she saw that no one would bother Chu Yunfan again did she leave.
Three days passed quickly.
On this day, deep within the inner sect's Sword Valley, Chu Yunfan finally found the perfect Wind Sword Intent he had been searching for.
Upon encountering a perfect Wind Sword Intent, the Wind Sword Intent within Chu Yunfan's body became much more active, as if resonating with it.
The perfected Wind Sword Intent sensed the Wind Sword Intent within Chu Yunfan's body, and its attitude towards Chu Yunfan became much gentler.
Unlike other perfect sword intents, it didn't attack Chu Yunfan right away.
This provided Chu Yunfan with a good environment for reflection.
However, under these circumstances, after a month, Chu Yunfan felt that although the power of his Wind Sword Intent had increased, the speed was slow and it did not reach the state he had ideally achieved.
"This won't do. There's simply not enough time to raise the Wind Sword Intent to perfection within six months, and then break through to the Martial Venerable Realm!"
Chu Yunfan opened his eyes, waking up from his state of comprehending sword intent.
Then, his gaze sharpened, as if he had thought of something, and he closed his eyes again.
Immediately afterwards, a powerful aura was released from Chu Yunfan, which also carried the aura of the sword intent of wind.
Clearly, Chu Yunfan was provoking the Perfect Wind Sword Intent.
His purpose in doing so was simple: to stimulate the perfected Wind Sword Intent and unleash its greater power.
With this greater pressure, Chu Yunfan's Wind Sword Intent had a stronger motivation to improve rapidly.
And just as Chu Yunfan had guessed, once he released his aura, the power of the perfect wind sword intent outside the world was significantly enhanced.
Previously, Chu Yunfan could easily resist this perfect wind sword intent.
But at this moment, fine beads of sweat quickly seeped out from Chu Yunfan's body.
In less than fifteen minutes, Chu Yunfan's clothes were soaked with sweat.
This shows the immense pressure Chu Yunfan was under at that moment.
However, Chu Yunfan was still not satisfied with this situation.
"Not enough! Not enough!!"
Chu Yunfan roared inwardly, and the aura emanating from his body intensified once again.
At the same time, the power of the perfect wind sword intent outside the world increased once again.
Soon, Chu Yunfan's body was covered not only in sweat, but also in blood.
This is because the unseen, perfect wind sword intent left many tiny wounds on Chu Yunfan's body.
However, Chu Yunfan had no time to care about his wounds at this moment.
Because at this moment, he finally felt that the sword intent of wind within his body had begun to make significant progress.
