Chapter 639: Power of Comprehension (III)

At the end of it, Deng Lun was able to increase Hong Meis single needle attack power by approximately half a level. This was considered a substantial improvement and something that nobody else could hope to match. With only one round, he had vaulted to the top and showed why the gentle scholar was placed in the same breath as the others.

His chosen path, comprehension, was a curious thing. At a glance, it seemed like a straightforward matter. All disciples that joined an immortal sect would be measured for their comprehension ability at an early age. This usually involved comparing how quickly they could learn basic martial arts or core meditation techniques. Those that learned the fastest were naturally thought to have the best comprehension.Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m

But this was often a false measurement. All of the participants of the Great Dao Preaching Convention were supposed to be the best of the best with comprehension ability surpassing their peers. Otherwise, their sects would not have sent them up to compete.

However, none of them dared to stand up and challenge Deng Lun at this moment. Like a pack of deer meeting a tiger, which one was superior was clear at a glance. Deng Luns talent wasnt simply the ability to learn and absorb knowledge. That was just the most basic requirement to be a cultivator.

Learning martial arts and cultivation secrets from detailed manuals curated over centuries, studying under the painstaking guidance of experienced masters, this wasnt comprehension at all. True comprehension came into play when there was a lack of knowledge, when things were uncertain. It was a persons ability to forge a path toward the true Dao through a forest of darkness.

The other competitors didnt know enough about needle arts so they didnt dare to stand up and make a fool of themselves. Deng Lun dared because he had already achieved some insights just by seeing the art twice. With little prior knowledge, relying purely on instinct and feeling, he was able to do this and this was his talent.

With this, he would be able to learn all kinds of martial arts and secret techniques. Even without specializing, he could discern the innate truths of a variety of Daos and make them his own. And if he met a bottleneck during his ascendance towards the immortal realms, he would have the confidence to break through with much less effort than others.

This was the power of Deng Lun's comprehension.

Zhou Ziyuns eyes suddenly snapped open. A strange energy emanated from her pupils and also from every pore. She felt that she finally understood something about herself. She understood just a tiny bit of her mysterious power of the mind.

In the process, she had come up with the same two methods of improvement for that needle art as Deng Lun. But unlike him, she had also come up with two more methods on top. And out of the four total, her instincts told her that one of hers would have the best effect. She couldnt come up with a reason for this determination but she felt strongly that it would be right, almost like instinct, like a hidden voice telling her that it was true.

There was only one way to test her new discovery. She had to speak up, right now, in front of these four geniuses and one hundred thousand spectators of the metropolis.

Ziyun, do whatever you want to do. Master will support you. Chen Wentians voice gave her the resolve she needed.

Her sentiment was shared by many. Comprehending two methods to improve a strange art was already impressive. Coming up with two more, what did that even mean? Few could believe that this was something within the ability of a disciple at the Spirit Initiate Realm.

Zhou Ziyun nodded, My first method is actually quite obvious. I observed that you were able to throw needles with both your right and left hands. With such skill, why cant you throw two needles at the same time at the same target to instantly double your attack power?

This Hong Mei glanced at Deng Lun whose face had turned dark, I would still have to modify my dance routine and also my throwing motion. I can indeed throw with both hands but it is usually one after the other, not both at the same time. I would have to practice this specific change.

Zhou Ziyun waved her hand, No need. My second method should be the best method so you dont need to bother with the first. I only mentioned it as a possibility. Anyways, the second method is also straightforward. You simply need to increase your throwing speed. Instead of increasing the weight of the needle, if the speed of the needle increases, it will effectively provide the same increase in attack power.

Speed speed it does sound simple but how do I increase my throwing speed when I am already at my limit? The older woman asked.

Zhou Ziyun smiled. She already had the answer. And it was due to the power of her comprehension.
