Chapter 247
Celestial Realm
As I faced Lee Kwang with a distance of about three yards between us, an epiphany struck me.
‘Lee Kwang’s Intent is quite stable, after all.’
It wasn’t just a simple standoff between masters; it felt as if we were entangled in a barrier-like bond. Those who have grasped the Intent have transcended to a level where they can twist and turn even through barriers. And Lee Kwang was doing his utmost to hide any weaknesses, leaving no room for gaps.
In the past, I could never have understood this. However, having trained in Intent for a long time and received teachings from the Sword Master, I could now gauge the connection between true peak experts. It was an obsession bordering on delusion, with a blind fanaticism to override the opponent’s world with one’s own.
Suuu…
I slowly raised my sword, feeling the sweat bead at the tip of my nose. Even without engaging in a proper battle yet, the tension with Lee Kwang was exhausting my energy. Still, I maintained my ground and combat posture without letting myself be easily drawn in by Lee Kwang.
Then, Lee Kwang, who had been staring at me, spoke.
“Not bad for your age. You have a keen eye for the false and the real.”
