Chapter 473 Different Mindsets
Xu Si looked down at the slowly spreading darkness on his left arm and suddenly smiled.
It wasn't a bitter smile, nor was it self-deprecation; rather, it was a relieved smile that came from genuine understanding.
"I see."
He raised his head and looked at the dark form of "himself" opposite him, his current appearance reflected in those unfathomable eyes.
He was disheveled, but not flustered; he was even a little excited.
"What are you laughing at?" Wan Liuchun's voice came from the void, tinged with a hint of confusion.
From her perspective, Xu Si had no chance of winning this battle.
The Dark Form perfectly replicated all his combat skills, even making up for all his weaknesses and shortcomings, and also possessed a higher level of Star Power usage that he had never mastered.
This is not even a contest of equal scale.
"I'm laughing at myself," Xu Si said.
He raised his right arm, fingers spread, palm facing the dark figure.
Crimson star power condensed in his palm, not a violent, outward-released sphere of light like a starburst, but a restrained, slowly rotating vortex of energy.
Since starlight can be perceived, it can also be blocked from being perceived.
Isn't this exactly the characteristic of the "Starry Night"?
To achieve all of that, wouldn't it be enough to simply let the starlight absorb the properties of the star curtain?
By adding a little bit of contamination, the effect of blocking perception can be achieved.
The dark form pressed its advantage, its figure vanishing from its original spot, leaving three pitch-black afterimages trailing through the void as it pounced from three directions simultaneously.
Each afterimage's palm contained a triangular-shaped black orb of light, sealing off all of Xu Si's angles for dodging and defense.
Does this guy even know sword tricks?
Is this guy a clone of himself?
Could it be that I'm the imposter?
However, Xu Si did not let him succeed this time.
The crimson sphere expanded instantly from him, becoming a massive sphere like a star field, directly enveloping the three dark figures.
Perceptual stripping
Because this crimson orb didn't have an explosive attribute, but rather a perception-stripping attribute, Xu Si wasn't afraid of anything.
Xu Si, who was at the center of the sphere of light, was not affected at all.
Even under the influence of this sphere of light, the sensory pollution he had just suffered seemed to have been largely restored.
"You're quite clever," Wan Liuchun seemed to be praising him.
For the first time, Xu Si in his dark form showed signs of sluggishness.
Its three afterimages lost their sense of direction within the sphere of light, and the originally exquisitely crafted combined attack formation collapsed the moment its senses were stripped away.
The three figures collided, and the dark sphere of light exploded out of control during the collision, with dark energy flying everywhere, but none of them could accurately hit Xu Si's position.
Unlike the dark orb, Xu Si's crimson orb this time was a complete stripping away of his senses.
Apart from Xu Si himself being unaffected, the three clones were almost devastated by the impact.
In the past two days, Xu Si has also learned another lesson—that is, when an opportunity is given to you, you must seize it.
Starlink Leap
Although it's unclear which one is the real body, the brief pause in 'Dark Xu Si' was enough for Xu Si to unleash tons of damage.
……
Xu Si regained consciousness.
This was Xu Si's first victory in the illusion of the Black Building.
"Not bad!" Wanliuchun clearly didn't expect Xu Si to comprehend it so quickly.
"What's wrong with that guy? Why can he do things I can't?" Xu Si was eager to find the answer to his confusion.
For example, the separation of perception? For example, holding Samsung? For example, the overwhelming presence of Samsung?
These are all moves he doesn't know!
"What's the problem?"
Wan Chun's voice carried an undisguised smile, clearly quite satisfied with Xu Si's reaction.
"There are many tricks you don't know. You think Sequence 7 is only what you're like now? You're far from it."
Despite being persuaded to stay, Xu Si was not discouraged at all.
Today he saw a different kind of scenery and gained a deeper understanding of the development prospects of sequences.
This seems to be the purpose of his solo journey.
Xu Si did not press the matter further.
He knew that Wanliuchun wouldn't tell him the answer, just as Jiangui wouldn't show him mercy in battle.
He's the only one who can walk this path.
He rose from the top of the Nirvana Chariot, the Sword of Kingship hanging beside him, its tip pointing towards the Sword Mountain.
The morning breeze blew from the northern Sword Mountain, seemingly carrying the sharp, sword-like intent that could cut through skin.
"Are you going again today?"
"certainly."
Xu Si's answer was concise and powerful. Although he felt like he was about to die every time, he grew really fast in this state.
Aside from the lack of growth in the sequence, he felt that everything else was growing wildly.
Today he's going to take a good look at what's going on with Jian Gui's clone.
He previously thought he didn't have that ability.
However, now that the facts have fully proven its feasibility, Xu Si naturally had no reason to miss it.
Only by drawing nourishment from the enemy can one grow vigorously.
Xu Si climbed the mountain with his sword, his steps much lighter than the previous two days.
The dawn painted Sword Mountain a cold, scarlet red, and the enormous stone swords cast long, thin shadows in the rising blood-red sun, like countless clock hands pointing in the same direction.
The sword demon was already waiting there.
The silver-white figure stood atop the highest stone sword, its face, devoid of features, slightly turned. Between the opening and closing cracks in its face, silver-white light surged forth like a tide.
"You seem different today."
The sword demon spoke, and the resonance was still metallic.
Xu Si stopped and looked up at the figure.
"What's the difference?"
"Different state of mind."
Previously, Xu Si was on high alert, but now he's taking the opportunity to plagiarize, so his mindset is naturally different.
Of course, Xu Si didn't know whether the difference Jian Gui mentioned was the same as the difference he thought it was.
Perhaps his state of mind underwent a change he himself was unaware of after last night's battle; who knows?
I don't know where Jian Gui discovered his different state of mind. Could he have copied that?
blah blah blah
Why does Xu Si only have these kinds of thoughts now?
He shook his head, focused his mind, and banished those distracting thoughts from his head.
Please enlighten me.
The sword spirit did not respond and continued to remove its armor.
Then the silver-white figure floated down from the top of the stone sword, its bare feet stepping on the gravel. Its slender, sword-like toes lightly touched the ground, and its body closed in with incredible speed.
It was that simple, straightforward thrust once again.
His five fingers were brought together like a sword, without any fancy moves or build-up; it was the purest and most direct thrust, something Xu Si knew all too well.
But this time, Xu Si did not dodge.
The crimson light deep within Xing Tong spun rapidly, and in his vision, the sword demon's thrust was dissected into countless consecutive images.
The slightest movement of the shoulder blade, the extension of the elbow, the forward extension of the fingertips—each step follows its own unchangeable trajectory.
Xing Tong seems to be changing as well.
The Star Vein unfolded at full power, but instead of expanding outwards, it contracted inwards, like a fishing net being pulled in, compressing his external perception to the most precise degree.
He turned to the side.
The magnitude was small, almost negligible, just like when Jian Gui dodged his attack.
Just then, the sword demon's fingers grazed three inches from his left chest. The sharp sword intent caused his spatial cloak to flutter, but left no mark.
Jian Gui turned his head, somewhat surprised.
However, its offensive did not stop.
