Chapter 669: Self-Questioning (Part 3)
In fact, she was also curious about the limits of this outsider Great Sword Master's capabilities. And was that truly Without Thought or Desire? She had seen Tsukahara Isshin's sword, and it didn't seem so mystical.
How should I put it? If swordsmanship is divided into Sword Techniques and Sword Intent, then Lord Tsukahara Isshin's The First Great Sword in the state of Without Thought or Desire has reached the pinnacle of Sword Techniques. And just now, Lady Dorothy's sword...
Hmm, that simple sword was honestly a bit too plain, as if it was merely a straightforward slash. It was just at the level of a mortal's sword skills, easy for her to excel and even surpass.
Yet, the terror of that sword did not lie in its technique but in its intent.
The intent contained within that single strike was so pure and powerful, akin to the majesty of the sun above, with dazzling divine power, unstoppable.
In the philosophy of swordsmanship, pursuing technique is inferior, while pursuing intent is superior. Therefore...
Perhaps, maybe, possibly, Lady Dorothy's level of swordsmanship is even higher than that of Lord Tsukahara Isshin?
Upon thinking of this possibility, the headmaster was taken aback.
This is a bit ridiculous, isn't it?
But what did Lady Dorothy mean with her last question to Minamoto no Yorimitsu?
Do you have dreams?
What does practicing swordsmanship have to do with dreams?
Konoe Maki was somewhat puzzled, yet she vaguely grasped an Inspiration.
A feeling in the depths of her heart told her that the answer to this question was crucial, relating to her own future.
So, do I have dreams?
The headmaster thus questioned herself.
Then she fell into silence.
Of course she had dreams and ideals, but she didn't dare think about them casually and had always been finding excuses to put them off, not daring to really start pursuing them.
After all, her dreams were somewhat rebellious, with too many considerations to take into account, truly not daring to act recklessly.
"Is this the reason I can never break through?"
Konoe Makoto sighed inwardly.
After a long time, she raised her head again, her eyes seemingly ablaze.
The headmaster gratefully looked in the direction of Lady Dorothy. She thought she finally understood everything.
Better late than never.
It's not too late to start chasing dreams now.
......
In fact, at this moment, it was not only Konoe Maki questioning herself. The great commotion of the Martial God Dharma Aspect had long attracted the attention of many Japanese strongmen, so everyone heard Dorothy's final question, and everyone was reflecting.
And for the answer to this question, some shook their heads and sighed, some dismissed it, while others, like Konoe Maki, had eyes that burned with fire.
A spark can start a prairie fire.
.......
On the other side, Dorothy had no idea what others were imagining. She simply watched the slowly collapsing Heaven's Guard Pavilion and cheered in her heart.
Hooray, I'm definitely demolishing this building, and no one can stop me. I just ask, what are you going to use to block this thousand-meter great sword?
Although the Fairy King was somewhat uninterested for not having enough fun, the Homebody Witch was quite smug.
What's all this about Minamoto no Yorimitsu?
Merely bugs on her path of demolition, not worth mentioning.
It's just...
"Ah, what, is there actually a dungeon here?"
The Martial God Dharma Aspect drew its sword, and as Dorothy looked at the scene in the massive sword pit, she furrowed her brows.
Hiss, things seem to be getting complicated.
Her Inspiration began to warn her.
..... Dorothy's eyes were sharp....
