Chapter 235.2

After four days, they finally arrived at the Great Xia capital city.

Chai Yuxin wanted to play the good host and arrange a banquet to welcome and refresh her Master.

However, the Peerless Spear Immortal was not interested in such affairs.

Instead, he gazed longingly at the imperial palace, full of desire, and said, Yuxin, can we enter the palace now to see Lin Beifan?

Now? Chai Yuxin was taken aback.

On the way here, her Master had been inquiring about Lin Beifans matters in great detail, showing even more concern than his own disciple.

Now that they had reached the capital city, he was eager to enter the palace immediately.

Is it not possible now? I see

The Peerless Spear Immortal said dejectedly, He is the reigning Emperor, busy with countless affairs. I suppose he must be quite busy. Can you arrange a time for me?

Chai Yuxin laughed, Master, hes not busy at all. You can see him anytime you want!

Then, Chai Yuxin led the Peerless Spear Immortal smoothly into the imperial palace.

In the imperial garden, the Spear Immoratl finally saw the person he had been longing for.

At that moment, Lin Beifan was enjoying a drink while playing chess with a black-clad elder, looking quite content.

Chai Yuxin whispered, Master, the one in the imperial robe is His Majesty! As for the black-clad elder playing chess with him, he is the Grandmaster Sword Elder of our nation!

The Peerless Spear Immortal nodded slightly and scrutinized Lin Beifan carefully, realizing he did not match the image of the esteemed figure he had in mind.

Instead, it was the Sword Elder beside him who seemed more like a senior expert.

Just then, Lin Beifan placed a chess piece and laughed, Disciple, youve lost again!

The Sword Elder watched for a moment before smiling bitterly, Indeed, I have lost! Masters chess skills are superior, I am impressed!

Lin Beifan said, Playing chess is like wielding a sword. Every move must be clear in your mind, thinking not just one step but thirty, even three hundred steps ahead! When you can foresee every possibility on the chessboard, your chess skill will naturally reach its peak, and so will your Yijian Technique!

What a statement, playing chess is like wielding a sword! Peerless Spear Immortal exclaimed loudly.

Lin Beifan and Sword Elder turned their heads, And this is

Your Majesty, allow me to introduce him!

Chai Yuxin respectfully said, This elder is my Master, Zuo Wudi, who possesses the strength of the peak of an Innate! Known for his spear skills, he is also called the Peerless Spear Immortal outside!

Senior Zuo, my apologies for not recognizing you! Lin Beifan greeted with a bow.

Sword Elder complimented with a smile, I have long heard of Brother Zuos spear skills. They are as fierce as thunder and lightning, with astonishing lethality, truly the number one spear in the world!

The Peerless Spear Immortal bowed and said loudly, I pay my respects to Your Majesty and to Senior Sword Elder!

This matter cannot be explained in a short time, how about we play a game of chess? Lin Beifan suggested.

Chess? Good!

Sword Elder made room, Peerless Spear Immortal sat down, and then he began to play chess with Lin Beifan.

In the beginning, both of them made their moves quickly.

However, as more and more pieces occupied the chessboard, Peerless Spear Immortals pace slowed down.

Eventually, sweat appeared on his forehead.

Unbeknownst to him, he entered an infinite black-and-white space.

He was dressed in black, holding a black spear.

Lin Beifan, on the other hand, was dressed in white, holding a white spear.

The two began to fight.

Peerless Spear Immortal exerted all his skills, but every time, he was knocked to the ground by his opponent within three moves.

Their cultivation was fairly the same, but time and time again, he never won, which made him feel utterly hopeless.

Why, when their skills were comparable, was his spear inferior to his opponents?

Had all the years spent pursuing spear techniques been in vain?

However, he did not sink into despair. Instead, he began to reflect and analyze his situation.

Eventually, he realized that although their cultivation levels were the same, his opponents spear technique was smooth and flawless, perfectly in harmony with the surroundings, very much in line with the legendary Dao!

His own spear technique, which he had practiced with pride for decades, seemed perfect as well, but there were still subtle differences!

A miss by a fraction of a hao can lead to an error of a thousand li! (1 Hao = 3.33 cm)

Thus, one was perfect, and the other had flaws; naturally, he could not win!

So, if I can fix the flaws in my spear technique, make it closer to nature, closer to the Dao, then my spear technique will be complete, and I will reach the realm of a Grandmaster!

At this moment, the Peerless Spear Immortal clearly knew the way forward!
