An Understated Dominance Chapter 2172-“Having said that, the disciples of the mysterious Sword Union are indeed worthy of special attention.” Sullivan touched his chin, looked at the three men in black robes in front of him, and continued, “Their sword control skills are mysterious and powerful. It is not a problem to take the enemy’s head from a distance of 10 meters. For them, it is even more commonplace to challenge them by leapfrogging. If I can learn their swordsmanship, I will surely be able to make a name for myself in the world.”

“Swordmanship” is the secret skill of the mysterious Sword Union and has never been passed down to the outside world. The supreme elder of our sect did not hesitate to exchange the three secret techniques with the mysterious Sword Union, but unfortunately he was still rejected.” Rivka shook her head.

As long as it was about swords, the Sword Union would pay special attention to it.

Any famous swords, sword manuals, sword moves, kendo techniques, etc., as long as there was an opportunity, the Sword Union would collect them at any cost.

“Actually, I know a little bit about sword control.” At this time, Dustin said it coldly.

“Ah?” Sullivan’s expression froze, and he stared in surprise. “Mr. Dustin, are you kidding me? Are you proficient in sword control?”

“It’s not proficient; I just have some superficial research.” Dustin smiled lightly.

“The art of sword control is a legendary skill.”If you can study a little bit about it, you are already very powerful.”

Sullivan said brightly, “I didn’t expect you to be so knowledgeable. If it’s convenient, you might as well tell us. If you can, it would be better if you impart some knowledge.”

“Yes, yes! If you can tell us the secrets of sword control to our sword union, we will definitely reward you heavily.” Halle’s face was full of surprise.

This was a good opportunity to do meritorious deeds. They would definitely receive rewards when they returned if they could master the art of sword control.

“There is no need for a reward. If you are really interested, I will tell you about it.” Dustin picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said with a smile, “Actually, there is more than one way to practice sword control, but it can never be separated from it. If you want to practice sword control well, you must learn to raise a sword.”

“Raise a sword?”What do you mean?” Halle was stunned and a little confused.

Sullivan and Rivka looked at each other, both half-understanding.

On the contrary, Briggs unfolded his folding fan and showed a thoughtful expression.

“The so-called raising of a sword requires you to first have your own sword fetus.”

“Before the sword fetus is truly formed, the sword holder needs to feed it with essence and blood every day and continue to temper it. On the one hand, it is to remove the impurities from the sword fetus. On the other hand, it is to cultivate its spirituality.”

“And this process is long and hard, and there is no shortcut. It requires thousands of hours of hard work and accumulation over time.”

“Normally speaking, to cultivate the sword fetus into a spiritual sword that can fly with the sword, it requires at least ten years of hard work.”

“In these ten years, you can’t slack off, be lazy, or make any mistakes; otherwise, all your efforts will be wasted!”

“After you have your own spiritual sword, the sword holder can truly learn the art of sword control.”

“In other words, ten years of hard training is only the foundation for learning the art of sword control. There will be more difficult roads ahead.” After Dustin finished speaking, he took another sip of tea.

“Ah? It takes ten years of practice before you can even get started? Isn’t this too difficult?” Halle sighed, feeling her scalp numb.

The little interest she had just raised disappeared in an instant. She was not a person who could endure hardship. She was asked to hone the sword body day after day, and it lasted for ten years. She simply couldn’t hold on.

Not just her; 99% of the warriors in the world couldn’t do it.

“Although sword control is very powerful, if you don’t have talent and perseverance, you can’t learn it at all.” Dustin shrugged.

He thought sword control was really cool, so he tried it for a while. However, later delays caused him to fail at mastering it.

Now, although he could achieve the effect of flying swords to kill people by relying on his cultivation and skills, it did not count as sword control.

Firstly, it was not that flexible, and secondly, its lethality was not that great.

“Forget it, forget it; I can’t learn this kind of thing; I just need to be a salty fish.” Halle stretched out and acted decisively.

“No wonder there are very few people in the world who know how to wield a sword. The threshold for learning is so high. At our current age, it is obviously impossible to start over from scratch.” Sullivan shook his head and chose to give up.

As the saying goes, one minute on stage equals ten years of hard work off stage.

Although sword control was very exciting, it was too difficult to practice. If they were not careful, years of hard work would be in vain.

“What a pity.” Rivka sighed secretly.

She was very eager to become stronger, so when she heard about sword control, she was especially looking forward to it.

It’s just that she didn’t expect that sword control would be so difficult to master. Even those with extraordinary talents had to go through at least ten years of practice.

With so much time, she could master the Sword Union’s secret skills to perfection, so why should she sacrifice the near for the distant?

“I do remember some basic techniques of sword control. If you are interested, I will write to you after I return to the restaurant tonight.” Dustin said.

“I’m not interested anymore. Just ask a few of them.” Halle picked up a lollipop, half-lying on a chair, put on her headphones, and listened to the song.

“Mr. Dustin’s kindness—I appreciate it, but I can’t practice this thing.” Sullivan smiled and declined politely.

He weighed a few pounds and knew clearly that it was impossible to practice sword control.

Why should he owe Dustin a favor for a unique skill that he can’t practice?

“Don’t look at me. I don’t practice swordsmanship. Why do I need sword-control skills?” Briggs shrugged.

“I don’t have any use for sword control, but the Sword Union needs it. If Mr. Dustin is willing to trade, I can help you make the connection.” Rivka nodded slightly.

“As for the transaction, it’s not necessary for the time being. “Let’s talk about it when we have the opportunity in the future.” Dustin smiled.

He could use sword control as a gift to a friend, but he would not trade it for some benefit.

At least, he didn’t lack anything.
