Honkai Impact, I'm not a Ditto!

Sikong led Kiana to the indoor training ground, where Fu Hua was already waiting.

Good morning, Fu Hua.

It's getting late.

Fu Hua didn't agree; she simply shook her head. For her, it was indeed getting late.

Knowing that the other person woke up early, Sikong didn't pay any attention.

Kiana objected, muttering, "What...it's still so early..."

Chapter 416 Cultivating the Void Sword Qi

Fu Hua and Sikong ignored Kiana, leaving the white-haired, blue-eyed girl standing aside.

They chatted about what to do next.

The paramecium paid no attention to the Taixu Sword Qi they mentioned.

I listened to a few sounds casually.

He then went to the side to train alone.

Kiana used her own money this time, but... once Fu Hua leaves, she will definitely ask Si Kong for reimbursement, which is entirely conceivable.

Sikong has spent a lot of money on Kiana's training alone during this period.

If it weren't for the high salary of S-class Destiny Knights.

Even the most powerful official couldn't afford to raise such a money-devouring beast.

Raiden Mei and Bronya were also curious about how Kiana, with her wealth, could afford such training. Paramecium said shyly, "The money was borrowed from Sikong, and I have to pay it back later."

Whether Kiana can repay this money remains to be seen.

Raiden Mei remained skeptical.

Bronya pondered for a long time, but ultimately remained silent.

After Sikong finished chatting with Fu Hua, he approached Kiana and said, "Fu Hua wants to teach me the Tai Xu Sword Qi. I just asked her, and she said that if you're willing, you can come and learn with me."

"Who has time... I don't want to learn!" Kiana waved her hands repeatedly. "I haven't even figured out the core of the Herrscher of the Void yet, I don't have time to waste."

The paramecium was resolute.

Since Sikong couldn't force the other party, he had no choice but to learn the Taixu Sword Qi himself.

The Taixu True Technique of the Taixu Sword Sect has five strengths.

Fu Hua's ultimate skill, the Tai Xu Sword Qi, has five elements: mind, form, intention, soul, and spirit.

Learn the Tai Xu Sword Qi.

Mindfulness is the first aspect of enlightenment, and it is also the most difficult aspect besides Spirituality.

There are four levels in total.

The four layers are still water, dust-free, clear mirror, and vast emptiness.

The four levels of the Heart of the Sword are all for tempering the Sword Heart, and only after possessing the Sword Heart can one be considered to have entered the first level.

Fu Hua just told Sikong about the part about the inner essence of the Taixu Sword Qi.

Now is the time to teach him the Sword Heart Technique.

The dark-haired man sat cross-legged in the indoor training area.

Fu Hua also sat cross-legged in front of Sikong. The two closed their eyes and faced each other, just like the dual cultivation in martial arts novels. The Crimson Iris Immortal slowly uttered strange and inexplicable syllables from his mouth.

This is the Sword Heart Technique.

This thing cannot be recorded in words at all.

Because it has no inherent meaning, its mystery lies in the fact that reciting, silently chanting, and listening to it can cultivate the mind.

Even if the onomatopoeic words used in the written records of the Sword Heart Technique are similar.

They also cannot possess the emotions conveyed through oral tradition.

This resulted in no effect whatsoever.

This is also the main reason why the Taixu Sword Sect's ultimate technique, Taixu Sword Qi, was lost.

These 462 syllables entered Sikong's ears. As he recorded them, he slowly dispersed the true qi in his body. Under his control, the true qi left his dantian and flowed through his meridians.

Gradually expand the meridians.

Do the basic preparatory work.

Sikong originally possessed abundant true qi, so he made rapid progress in cultivating his inner strength.

He could vaguely grasp a bit of the mystery of the sword's heart.

"Kenshin..."

Sikong felt the true energy of the Nameless Technique slowly dissipating. The true energy that was now being lost was what he could mobilize, and it was not the foundation of the Nameless Technique.

So Sikong wasn't in a hurry.

But soon...

The controllable true energy within his body was almost completely depleted, and the foundation within Sikong Dantian began to falter.

It was a silently rotating cyclone.

Fu Hua, with the vortex of energy she bestowed upon him with her punches and kicks, had transformed him from a little guy into a behemoth.

But now.

This cyclone is already slowly collapsing.

A large amount of originally uncontrollable true energy leaked out.

Sikong felt a wave of weakness wash over him, and his face slowly paled.

Fu Hua said, "Calm your mind, concentrate your energy... Don't worry about the lost true energy. Once you've entered the realm of mind cultivation, you will no longer be restricted by true energy."

After being reminded.

Sikong calmed down a bit more and continued to listen to Fu Hua's voice, slowly entering a state of complete absorption.

To learn the Sword Heart Technique, one must comprehend the Sword Heart through oral transmission.

These 462 strange musical notes can only be memorized by those with a sword heart, which is quite peculiar.

Several hours passed just like that.

Sikong's internal energy was completely depleted, and his dantian was now empty.

Open your eyes.

Sikong was thus awakened.

"Heart... I failed, Fu Hua. I couldn't comprehend the Sword Heart. I felt I was just a hair's breadth away, but that final touch remained elusive..."

“You don’t need to feel sorry about this. Cultivating inner strength is not easy…” Fu Hua looked at Sikong, who was less than a meter away from her, with her calm blue eyes. “You still have a month. There’s no need to rush.”

One month—that was the final deadline Otto gave Fu Hua.

One month later, regardless of whether Sikong can learn the Taixu Sword Qi.

Fu Hua is about to leave.

“I will try my best, Fu Hua,” Si Kong rubbed the back of his head in distress. “Or you can hit me like you used to, maybe I’ll learn as you hit me.”

"No, the Taixu Sword Qi is different from other martial arts of the Divine Continent. The Sword Heart requires comprehension, not fighting."

Fu Hua shook her head in rejection.

The Tai Xu Sword Qi requires a high level of comprehension.

A person with exceptional talent can grasp the essence of the mind in a single day, while someone like Sikong might not be able to grasp it even after a month.

Then there's no need to continue learning.

"That's enough for today. Your internal energy has been completely depleted, and you need to rest now."

Fu Hua slowly got up.

Sikong let out a deep breath.

"I understand, Fu Hua. You should go back now. I need to stay here and watch over Kiana."

"Well... I'll be going now. I'm leaving Kiana's matter to you. Helping her control the core of the Herrscher of the Void is also a very important task."

After saying that, Fu Hua turned and left.

Sikong looked down at his hands and said with a self-deprecating smile, "Now is actually a good time to practice the Star Absorbing Technique."

The body's vital energy has been completely lost.

This is a prerequisite for learning the Star Absorbing Technique.

"Ah... I feel so tired, like I've been drained by Kiana, Rita, and Wendy in turn several times."

Sikong dares not reset his physical condition now.

Once reset.

All the internal energy cultivated through the nameless technique returned.

There won't be a way to explain it to Fu Hua then.

Should I disperse my energy again?

Although dispersing one's internal energy while listening to the Sword Heart Manual can strengthen the meridians, the improvement becomes negligible in the later stages.

I want to continue to improve.

We must use higher quality true qi.

Repeating the same process over and over again yielded poor results.

It's still hard to explain.

Sikong had no choice but to give up.
