Chapter 59
In essence, the Bright Tai Chi Sword utilized the power of Tai Chi to assimilate all the powers in the world with the user’s. To further explain, it didn’t follow the physical qualities of the world, such as a 2-powered defense blocking a 3-powered attack, thereby leaving a 1-powered attack. Instead, the Bright Tai Chi Sword added the 2-powered defense with the 3-powered attack and created a 5-powered attack. And so, it was impossible to defend against the Bright Tai Chi Sword. If the target raised their defense, it would only be added to the attack. The only routes were to avoid the strike or get hit.
Of course, the Bright Tai Chi Sword had limits. If the target’s defenses were more powerful than the attack against them, the sword technique’s effect wouldn’t apply. However, Merlin felt that Arthur’s understanding and usage of the technique were perfect. No one could defend against his attacks.
Also, using any sword technique to block the Bright Tai Chi Sword would result in the same conundrum. Although someone could try to block the skill with just their sword’s properties, they would inevitably have to imbue it with sword qi to use their sword technique. So, this sword qi would ultimately be added to the Bright Tai Chi Sword attack and further hinder the defender.
“Hahaha! I’m not that great after all.”
Merlin stooped down to pick up the bee’s drop: a single wand. Although the monster had six wands, this was the only piece of loot. Merlin’s mind was filled with various thoughts, and the Golden Pill Immortal Technique was overflowing with aura, but he stopped it from emanating outward.
“I now know how to proceed in my martial arts path.”
With this said, Merlin didn’t feel like his talents were lacking compared to Arthur’s, but he knew that they weren’t superior either. In the end, Merlin decided to train more to catch up to Arthur’s level in the sword technique.
However, that wasn’t a fun proposition.
Whoosh.
