As the sword battle reaching its end in the mountain and Qingxuan is dying, Li Xin who is inside his hut is still reviewing his status window

He had finished reviewing the Thirteen Path of Sword

‘Then there is the Six Gate of Sword. I used it a few times’ Li Xin opens the status window of that skill

[Six Gate of Sword]

An intermediate sword that is derived from the basic movement of the Thirteen Path of sword.

The moves had become more elegant, more lethal and more powerful.

The movement would be fluid, be supple as a dragon.

When mastered, the practitioner movement will be like a swimming dragon, flexible and natural, the strike would be flashing fast as lightning, rising and falling like wind whipping up and fog descending, coiling and dancing like shooting stars embroidering the sun.

Gate symbolically is an entryway. This is the meaning that the sword move name is supposed to symbolized.

Sword moves, the Gates are opened and Myriad Paths is shown

The Six Gate of Sword basically consists of six swordplay

The Gate of Gods

The Gate of Mortal

The Gate of Demons and Devils

The Gate of Beast and Monster

The Gate of Illusory Ghost

The Gate of Hell

Essence of The Six Gate of Sword

The Gate of Gods

This sword move has twenty-six form that is ever changing. The sword move is leisurely and carefree.

However, this sword movement has heaviness in its essence of the sword. When each twenty-six form is combined with each other and used interchangeably, it created a loud tearing sound as the sword which seems carefree, possess so much power and weight.

When the sword moves, the gate toward immortality is opened

The Gate of Mortal

The rhythm of the sword moves changes almost instantly without rhyme or reason like a temperamental storm

There seems to be a downgrade from the Gate of Gods sword move. It is no longer carefree so to the layperson eyes, it looks like this movement is heavy and full of flaws when in fact the movement become even more natural. 

The sword move naturally as the hand moves naturally.

When dodging and moving, naturally as nature of oneself dictates, the movement achieve this unity between one own nature and one own movement.

It lacks the lackadaisical and carefree attitude of the sword of the Gate of Gods. But it possesses a certain heaviness that pressure the enemies.

Gate of Demons and Devils

The inner energy is violent, sword intent is sharp and the inner energy is Yin based.

The energy swirls around the weapon, invisible to the eyes but clear to those who could sense thing with their spiritual perception.

This sword move is sharp and thin, but its lethality is without peer. The sword is full of killing intent and it is a manic sword movement.

It is a manic sword move that doesn't seem to follow any orders. 

But in that disorderliness is where the sword move could show its dominance. The Gate of Demons and Devils, the sword move of this particular Gate thrive in chaos.

Gate of Beast and Monsters

 This sword moves look like the Gate of Demons and Devils but there is a subtle difference. It is a sword driven by impulse and instinct. 

The sensation of the wind on one skin, the sound of a leave fluttering behind him, all of it feeds his instinct and his sword moves according to this instinct and his attack is based on the impulse of his heart making it unpredictable.

A primitive consciousness that move the sword. This is the Gate of Beast and Monsters.

the Gate of Illusory Ghost

This sword move is heavy without the carefree feeling of the Gate of Gods.

The sword move is also very deceiving or to be more accurate, illusory.

Maybe that is why it is called the Gate of Illusory Ghost.

The sword move appears like an illusion and when the sword is thrusted forward, it appears like a ghost.

One could think of the essence of this sword move as have no pattern and no reason, so it is invisible and the attack is subtle at times, obvious at times, hiding the real with the fake, a fake moves become real

Gate of Hell

This sword move is chaotic, heavy, full of killing intent, lethal and dangerous. It lacks any feeling in its sword move. But it is not also full of hatred or killing desire like the sword move of the Gate of Demon and Devil

There is sixteen form of this sword. Eight of the form is Yang based, eight of the other form is Yin based attack. There is ever-changing change, interconnected attack but if there is one commonality between all sixteen form is the lethality of the attack that all pointed toward vital parts of a person and designed to kill people swiftly and without emotion

_______________________________________________

From the Thirteen path of Sword, Li Xin modified it to Six Gate of Sword, to Three Sword Slash.

And from Three Sword Slash, he then modified it to Twin Dragon Soaring Sword and then it reached the supreme skill which is the One Sword technique

Not all beginner skill could be modified to supreme martial skill. Like the Six Divine Meridian Sword which is a finger technique.

In the beginning it must be just a simple skill before it evolved into a supreme skill into Six Divine Meridian Sword.

But that process must take a long time if it was to be comprehended normally.

One needs to perfect each move or having some enlightenment about the skill before one could evolve a skill.

But with the system, as long as he had the required points. He could deduce the progression of even the most basic skill.

Liumai Shen Jian is one of the skills that is also sold in the system store. It is basically like the Jin Yong version of martial skill.

And in the eyes of the system it is a supreme martial skill. As for One Sword, this is the only supreme martial skill that Li Xin got by modifying his basic skill.

He was lucky in a way.

Not all skills could be modified to reach to the supreme skill.

After all, some skill did not have great foundation.

 A technique that did not have good foundation would have its path cut short.

This is the reason why certain sects have powerful martial skill and some did not. The skills that they learned determine how far they could go.

Of course, there are also some other factors. Those people with great comprehension could also learn a skill and modify it and might even create a new martial skill

This is also the reason why the founder of the sect or school had to be someone knowledgeable and have a least one skill that could one day reach supreme skill level to be taken seriously in Wulin

Only then could it be considered a powerful force in Wulin.

As for One Sword, this is Li Xin most complicated sword skill.

Li Xin had never had the chance to use it.

Since he had only been fighting with wolves, bears and boars. Sometimes, he hunts rabbit or the game that is present in the forest.

As for the hunting, he usually only uses daggers or bows. There is no need for him to be overkill by killing the things he wanted to eat with his three feet sword.

He looks at his status window and tapped the One Sword tab and the information status with the description of the skill popped up in front of him

_____________________________

*[One Sword] *

Derived from the Thirteen Path of Sword, Six Gate of Sword, Three Sword Slash, Twin dragon Soaring Sword, the final crystallization of these skill is the One Sword technique.

In a certain world, One Sword skill is one of the three divine sword skill. The other two is the Heaven Sword technique and the Flowing Sword Art.

The One Sword technique is from the Sword Residence, a sect in some other world.

Regarded as a supreme sword art, the One Sword technique is only passed down to the leader of the Sword Residence and there are only a few sword skills that could be its match

It has many variations and each variation could be drawn from the Thirteen Gate of Sword, The Six Gates of Sword, Three Sword Slash and Twin Dragon Soaring Sword.

But the One Sword essence is not the move. There is only the essence. Once you understand the essence of the move, then One Sword could be performed.

This skill is dependent on the practitioner understanding of the sword. One Sword essence has all kinds of variation of sword move and sword attack but to reach the essence should be integrated into one sword move that could cut all moves in the world.

[Special Reminder: By learning Flowing Sword Arts then your understanding toward the One Sword technique would probably become deeper]

Infinite variations of attacks in one attack.

When the practitioner could finally unleash this sword move, each sword move would unleash an unstoppable power that pushed forward regardless of the obstacle

A simple strike could contain an ultimate willpower and surpassed the aura and might of a sword intent, the indifference of heaven could be felt with one sword strike.

One Sword strike could create one sword move that attack in all direction that the only possible road is the Yellow Springs

The important thing to master the One Sword is intention. The most important is the connection between the sword and the intention of the wielder of the sword.

There is no faster way to express something than through intention.

Where the wielder of the sword intention moves toward, there is where the tip of the sword would be. And the moment that tip of sword find its target, it would wither and it would die.

One Sword is One Move, One Strike, One Life. A one in a lifetime strike unleashed. This is the essence of One Sword.

[ One of the Three Supreme Sword Manual in another world, the One Sword is a skill that could only be gained by understanding the essence. In this, the system will not help the host to skip this most important lesson]

____________________________________________

This is the reason why Li Xin thought of it as the hardest skill to master. Because the system will not help the host which is him to skip it like it did with the other skill.

Li Xin had a conjecture that when a certain skill reached supreme skill by the use of modified skill, to use it he must rely on his own understanding.

And then there is another thing that had always intrigues him and that is the fact that this One Sword skill is not taken from some novels or books but from another world entirely

[In a certain world, One Sword skill is one of the three divine sword skill. The other two is the Heaven Sword technique and the Flowing Sword Art. The One Sword technique is from the Sword Residence, a sect in some other worlds]

This description is what intrigues him. From this, he could draw conclusion that this skill comes from another world entirely.

Li Xin is pretty sure that when he plays this game, there is no such sect called the Sword Residence.

And then there is this description

[ One of the Three Supreme Sword Manual in another world, the One Sword is a skill that could only be gained by understanding the essence. In this, the system will not help the host to skip this most important lesson]

It is one of the three. The other one must be the Flowing Sword Arts since the description said that if he learns it, his understanding toward One Sword technique would become deeper.

But what is the other one?

And there is another thing that he is concerned about

and that is, the other two skills mentioned in the description, is it sold inside the system store?

After all, the way he got the One Sword technique is not by buying a supreme skill.

He got it after modifying a normal basic sword skill. Even he did not expect that the basic sword skill that he bought could be modified until the supreme level

What if the other two skills are also like that?

    What if the other two skills are also like that?That they need to be started form the basic skill and modified until grandmaster level? If that is the case, the name of that sill in the system store would not be Flowing Sword Arts and might be something else.He hoped the system store would at least give a hint when he bought skills from the system store so that he would not waste his money.And unlike the other skill, when a skill reaches the supreme level, the system would not help the host to understand it.That is why Li Xin decided to review all of the skills that he had skip before.Even though he had learned the Six Gate of Sword he rarely uses it since he uses the skill before the One Sword technique which is the Twin Dragon Soaring Sword‘I should practice it tonight’ he thought to himself.He finished reviewing all of his martial skill. After all, it is not that many. He reminded himself that after this, he should review it the moment he got it and not delayed it until it h

    The Three Waves Palm is simple. Li Xin understood it and he smilesBut simple did not mean weak.Executed in the perfect circumstances, it would be a lethal technique.The important thing to know about the Three Waves Palm is that the three waves of energy must not be same.The energy come from the body, and when it is unleashed it must have different kind of waves of power when it is being executed.Weak, strong weak. Or strong, weak, strong. Or strong, strong, weak. Or weak, weak, strong. Combine, mix and match, attack according to circumstances.There are no useful or useless moves in martial arts. There are only people who can’t use them properly.This skill could shine if the one using it could understand the intricacies of using this force. At times strong, at times weak, pushing forward, showing weakness, forcing the enemy to also use unconventional means.It is called Three Waves Palm but it is not three strokes of palm attack. Instead, the waves refer to the energy.The moves

Whether it had changed since he played the game or it is still the same.Even if the world is the same as the game he plays, there is still one problemWhen Li Xin was playing the game, he was just a disciple of a small sect.He could not really understand the power level of the people in Jianghu.

    This sigh is because he once felt such feeling.Even though it is now hazy, Li Xin remembers that when he active the One Sword technique, there is that feeling that everywhere his sword pointed, the surrounding area is under his control.None of the sword of the enemy could touch him and none of their attack could even reach himIn that moment, he is the sword and wherever he pointed is the area of death.Everyone is waiting for Dugu Qingfeng to make his move.Everyone is paying attention because those who came here who have deep attainment in martial arts know that a battle between masters does not take so long.When they strike, they have the confidence to win in that one strike.

Even though the distance between them is ten feet away from each other, it was like they are in front of each other, only inches apart ‘Hero Li who do you think would win?’ Zhang Kuo asked.
