Chapter 199.2
Fine, well discuss sabers right now!
The Grandmaster passed his own saber over, placing it in front of Lin Beifan, and asked with implied anger, Now tell me, what do you think of this saber?
Lin Beifan glanced at it and shook his head, This saber is quite ordinary, not worth looking at!
The Grandmaster was furious: How dare you call this saber ordinary? This saber was forged from various precious materials collected from all over the world, and with the help of several master bladesmiths, it took forty-nine days to create this peerless blade!
A saber is just a saber and a person is just a person. No matter how good or sharp the saber is, if it falls into the hands of an ordinary person, it wont be able to unleash even a bit of its power! On the other hand, if an ordinary saber ends up in the hands of a true expert, no matter how mediocre or common it is, it becomes a peerless blade!
The Grandmaster nodded slightly: Thats valid!
I know of such a saber!
Lin Beifan spoke leisurely: This saber is less than a zhang long and half a zhang wide, made from ordinary steel, very common! But this saber is extremely fast and also very precise. Once it strikes, in the blink of an eye, it can dismember a person into eight pieces, separating flesh from bone without damaging tendons or meridians, not missing a single detail, just like a butcher skillfully carving meat!
The Grandmaster nodded, thoroughly convinced: That person must be formidable! A saber strike that can disassemble a person must have reached the legendary unity of person and saber! What kind of saber is this, and who wields it?
Lin Beifan smiled and said: Its just an ordinary kitchen knife, and the person wielding it is a cook! (TLN: Saber/Knife (), single-edged blade.)
The Grandmaster was stunned: An ordinary kitchen knife? A cook?
Yes!
Lin Beifan nodded: That person was originally just a cook, using a knife in the kitchen from a young age. He slaughters livestock day in and day out for twenty years, so he has long since become one with the kitchen knife!
He never learned any special techniques for using a knife, but he knows how to wield it, how to quickly kill an opponent with it! So, when he accidentally acquired martial arts skills, he immediately turned decay into magic, becoming an unparalleled master! And that ordinary kitchen knife in his hand also became a peerless divine weapon in the rivers and lakes!
Well said, very well said! The Grandmaster closed his eyes.
The knife was just an ordinary kitchen knife, and the Master of the knife was actually just an ordinary cook!
After decades of using a knife for cooking and slaughtering livestock, he had become one with the kitchen knife!
He had never learned any special knife techniques, but he knew how to use a knife and how to quickly kill an opponent with it!
Once he had martial arts skills, he became an unparalleled master!
His knife had become a peerless divine weapon!
He felt as if Lin Beifan hadnt said much yet had said a lot.
It seemed as if he was being taught how to practice with a saber yet also how to abandon the saber techniques to achieve the unity of person and saber
Its vague and faint, but it gave him a sense of enlightenment!
When he opened his eyes again, his gaze towards Lin Beifan had changed.
This young man truly understood sabers!
A saber that casts aside all levels of skill, all techniques, in pursuit of ultimate speed!
A saber drawn with the understanding that either you die or I perish!
The most ruthless, the most unsolvable, and also the most invincible saber!
He felt that all the saber techniques he had learned before paled in comparison!
What kind of saber is this? he murmured to himself.
This is Xiao Lis Flying Dagger! (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiaoli_Feidao)
Lin Beifan said with a slight smile: Xiao Lis Flying Dagger never misses its mark!
Excellent knife! What a Xiao Lis Flying Dagger, it never misses its mark!
The Grandmaster became excited: With this saber, all other sabers in the world would dim in comparison! I really want to meet this senior and see the flying dagger in his hand!
I also really want to see it
The Sword Elder asked longingly: Master, is there really such a person? Is there really such a saber?
The Grandmaster beside him pricked up his ears to listen intently.
Lin Beifan nodded: Yes, there is. Perhaps youll have the opportunity to meet him in the future!
He chuckled to himself, thinking, isnt that person your Master, me?
Youll definitely have the chance to meet him!
Everyone began to yearn for it.
At this moment, Lin Beifan asked with a smile: Do you know how Xiao Lis Flying Dagger is trained?
That I do not know!
The Grandmaster shook his head: Such a heaven and earth-shattering divine technique is usually kept secret and not shared with outsiders. Im afraid no one else knows besides that senior!
Lin Beifan nodded: Actually, I know!
You know? Everyone in the room was astonished.
