The Legend of Min Hong

Chapter 194: Comprehending A New Dao (1)

"Thus, she practically embodies every good qualities of every weapon asides from the fact that she is not sharp, which means every of your opponent would be greatly wary of you, because I would rather have myself stabbed to death than be actually beaten to death" Old Man Li revealed

"There was also a very strong ancient expert who had his weapon spirit take the appearance of a dragon, then he kidnapped one of the most talented dragon cubs and infused his weapon spirit before sending the dragon into the tribe"

"This dragon finally worked its way up the ladder till he became the Tribe Leader of that dragon tribe"

"Then anytime he wanted to battle anyone, that expert always had the backing of an entire Dragon Tribe"

"That is how valuable it is to have a weapon spirit, and all the more reason no one must know you possess a weapon that has one, or else you might attract experts that can crumple your entire dimension like a used paper with a clench of their fists"

Old Man Li still warned Min Hong even though he knew that Min Hong was already cautious about it

"Furthermore, I have had the girls gather the cores of the beasts they have killed within the jungle, so probably when you are done today you can come select one of them"

Old Man Li spoke as Min Hong replied;

"I really appreciate your foresight Old Man Li, but I already have a beast core in mind to absorb for my first spirit ring"

"Eeh When were you planning on telling us about it?" Little Wu responded this time around

"I wanted to make it a surprise, but you know, since you have all finally known, I guess I might as well say it"

Min Hong prepared to explain but was instantly cut short by Old Man Li

"The secret to living long enough to cultivate to the peak in the heaven defying road of cultivation is to know how to keep a secret"

"Always make it a last resort to give anyone any information about your cultivation methods or ideas about your cultivation processes"

"Though, those you tell might be trustworthy, but should they end up in the claws of a powerful enemy cultivator, they would not even be able to fight back at all before they are soul searched and in the case where they find out secrets about your cultivation and use it against you, you might die without even knowing how you did" Old Man Li warned Min Hong a second time

"The fact that you already told us that you have a new beast core in mind doesn't spill the secret, it is telling us the details about the beast core that makes your enemies or opponents brace themselves and prepare for it"

"Thus, do not tell anyone anything, rather show it in battle through your actions and let them arrive at whatever they feel is right"

"In the end, they can at most be partially right that way or tragically wrong, but either ways, you stand to benefit from that" Little Wu explained further before he added;

"You will gradually come to know about all these things later on in your cultivation journey, so for now, let us leave the matter aside and talk about why you're here"

Little Wu indirectly asked as Min Hong who was still caught in his own thoughts finally looked up and responded;

"I wish to comprehend a new Dao" Min Hong blurted as he took everyone by surprise

"People do not just comprehend a new Dao because they want to"

"It is a very sensitive situation in the life of any cultivator and though you might not notice anything much now, they would surely make themselves known when you are trying to form your Dao nascent souls" Little Wu explained

"What Dao do you have in sight?" Old Man Li asked the most important question

"I would have preferred it to be the Flame Dao, but though I'm living in the same region as the Nihility Flame Essence, I am a little bit certain that t is the main ingredient to the survival or the success of the Desert Sun Sect"

"Not that I would not take it if the chance surfaces, rather it is the difficulty in getting to that stage that is the issue"

"Then there is the Sword Dao which I can easily reach intent level because of my 'Dao Realm' attainment in sword martial arts"

"You have gotten the one move that every sword art originates from?"

Old Man Li asked as Min Hong responded to his question by whipping out a sword and displaying the one single move he used against Little Ming when they battled for the first time

The one move that was both an attacking type move and a defensive type move

If an opponent attacked recklessly, they might get stabbed out of the blue and if the opponent choose to defend, then they would face a sword move that is so unpredictable that it is impossible to defend against

It would be like one is using on sword art technique to defend against thousands of attacking sword art techniques that are being displayed instantaneously, and that can only result in one possible outcome;

Defeat!

After about three minutes of gracefully and elegantly displaying the complete sword move more than five times and with strong determination and intent, Min Hong's aura which had long melded with the sword and the entire world finally calmed, before receding into his body

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Little Lin and Little Wu couldn't help but applaud Min Hong for the grandmaster-like display, whilst Old Man Li who had seen much more simply acknowledged him with a nod, before he continued;

"Not bad, not bad So, would you like to use the sword then?" he asked

"Not at the moment I still haven't figured out what my primary weapon would be as I am very proficient in archery and the sword"

"I have also picked up arts that involves using the staff to familiarize myself with, thus I don't want to comprehend any weapon Dao at this point" Min Hong thought carefully as he replied
