Lin Shen was surfing the internet at home, watching the creative ideas of geniuses from various clans when Tian Buluo and Tian Qingyu arrived at his home.
“Tian, the Finger Sand technique you used to destroy Wu Mian was truly earth-shattering and shocked the spirits,” Tian Qingyu said with a smile.
“Luckily, I had the help of the War Song. Otherwise, that name of disaster would probably have fallen upon my head,” Lin Shen repeated the words he had told Tian Congyun to the siblings.
“To think that such a miraculous skill actually exists in this world. With this skill alone, Tian, you will certainly become a divine general of our clan in the future,” Tian Buluo exclaimed in admiration.
“Who can predict the future? Let’s focus on solving the problems at hand first. Do you have any understanding of Kristin, known as the Sword Demon?” Lin Shen wanted to know more about Kristin, hoping to find a way to deal with him without resorting to using too many of his trump cards.
“We don’t know much about this person, only that he is obsessed with swordsmanship and rarely gets involved in other matters. What I do know about Kristin is mostly from the time when he was young and created the Absolute Echo Sword Skill. The stories of his sword fights with masters from various clans, but not much else after that,” said Tian Buluo.
Tian Qingyu also shook her head, “Everyone knows Kristin is strong, but exactly how strong he is and what sort of abilities he possesses, that’s not very well-known. I’ve seen the Ascension Level Planet Battlefield where Kristin has made a few moves. His swordplay still follows the patterns of the Absolute Echo Sword Skill, but you can tell that his swordsmanship has indeed reached a transformative level. The enigmatic and peculiar Absolute Echo Sword Skill comes effortlessly to him. I guess that the Absolute Echo Sword Skill is no longer his strongest swordsmanship anymore.”
Lin Shen didn’t hear any substantial intelligence and could only wait until the battle with Kristin to learn more about him.
“Did you two come to see me for something?” Lin Shen then remembered that the two of them had come together to see him, so there must be something going on.
“Tian… that Twenty-Eight Fists… is there really no way?” Tian Qingyu hesitated to speak.
Seeing Lin Shen using the Finger Sand on the Planet Battlefield made her even more eager to master the Twenty-Eight Fists.
However, despite her long study and arduous cultivation, having exhausted all the methods she could think of, she still couldn’t make any progress.
She could now perform the Twenty-Eight Fists backwards but was unable to produce even a hint of Fist Power.
“If I had a way, I would have taught you already. The fact that I could master the Twenty-Eight Fists myself was completely by chance. I just happened to succeed without any particular technique,” Lin Shen said helplessly.
Tian Qingyu felt helpless upon hearing this. She believed in Lin Shen; after all, he had already shared the precious Twenty-Eight Fist Manual with her. There was no need for him to hold back anything on this matter.
Although she knew that the Twenty-Eight Fists were exceptionally unique and that it was normal not to succeed, Tian Qingyu still didn’t want to give up.
“I can’t teach you the Twenty-Eight Fists, but I’ve discovered a very interesting and powerful technique. I wonder if you’re interested,” Lin Shen offered.
“What technique?” Tian Buluo and Tian Qingyu asked in unison.
For Lin Shen to describe a technique as very interesting and powerful, it must surely be a miraculous skill, and they were naturally very curious.
“I saw it online. Let me find that video to show you,” Lin Shen said as he retrieved the video about the Separation Method, which he had saved.
“Tian, the interesting and powerful technique you are talking about, you found it on the Heaven’s Web?” Tian Buluo’s expression became peculiar.
It’s not that there aren’t genuine things on Heaven’s Web—there are many; however, most are like the outdated Five Fundamental Evolution Skills that have been phased out by time, no longer as powerful as the current Evolution Skills even if practiced now.
“Yeah, I don’t know who posted it, but it’s simply a divine technique,” Lin Shen said, opening the video.
Tian Buluo and Tian Qingyu exchanged looks, seeing the resignation in each other’s eyes.
If there really was such a powerful technique disclosed on Heaven’s Web, it would have spread throughout the universe by now, unlikely leaving any divine techniques just waiting for Lin Shen to discover.
They speculated that Lin Shen might have seen some outdated technique on Heaven’s Web. Some outdated techniques are indeed powerful but have serious flaws, which is why they’ve been discarded.
To those unaware, practicing these techniques might seem very strong, but against someone knowledgeable, these techniques instead become deadly weaknesses.
Nevertheless, they didn’t want to dishearten Lin Shen and continued watching with him.
After watching the introduction, both grew even more perplexed. Tian Buluo looked at Lin Shen with a complex expression and asked, “Is the content of this video about someone breaking through your Finger Sand?”
“Yes, is there a problem?” Lin Shen replied nonchalantly.
“You’re learning techniques from a video that teaches people how to counter your own skill? Are you planning on counteracting your own Finger Sand?” Tian Buluo found it somewhat convoluted as he spoke.
“Well, the thought process behind it is truly brilliant, almost like a stroke of genius. I found it very interesting and decided to study it,” Lin Shen said with a smile. “Take a look first and if you’re interested, we can explore it together.”
The two continued watching with skepticism, finding it hard to believe that such a video could contain anything of real substance.
As expected, after watching the video, they found it was merely a wildly imaginative theory without any practical application methods—likely just a fleeting idea from someone’s moment of inspiration with no real feasibility.
Even without attempting to implement it, the theory alone was already quite abstract.
“Tian, this Separation Method is only a theoretical concept with no practical method. Moreover, I think its feasibility isn’t very high,” Tian Qingyu said bluntly, sharing her thoughts.
“I actually think the Separation Method has some potential for practical application,” Lin Shen disagreed with Tian Qingyu’s opinion.
Tian Qingyu patiently replied, “The fundamental theory of the Separation Method is to sever the connection between your body and the Spatial Finger Power you emit, causing you to lose control over your detached strength. Even if this procedure could be completed—which is questionable—your Finger Sand is so fast that once it’s launched, it no longer requires control. What’s the point in cutting off the connection then?”
“Your understanding makes sense, but I have another interpretation,” Lin Shen considered for a moment before saying, “What if what the Separation Method aims to detach isn’t the link between me and the Finger Sand, but the Finger Sand itself?”
“What do you mean?” Tian Qingyu and Tian Buluo didn’t understand Lin Shen’s meaning. They were confused about what he meant by separating the Finger Sand itself.
