Chapter 2687: Chapter 2682: Lucid Vision

This... directly saw the three swords?

At that moment, the laboratory was eerily quiet. Professor Fu’s remarks seemed to be rather too advanced, leaving participants unable to comprehend.

"Saw three swords pointing at these three parts simultaneously?"

In the midst of exchanging glances, it was still Miss Liushuang who attempted to imagine that scene.

After all, it was just an optical illusion, containing different moves within one strike, still far from the concept of three swords.

Was the result the target directly saw different futures?

"Hmm... you can describe it that way."

However, astonishingly, after a brief contemplation, Professor Fu actually nodded to confirm it.

"How did they decide to grab the one pointing at the forehead? Surely they didn’t have three hands?"

As a swordsman, Miss Liushuang was undoubtedly struck more heavily, as Miss Wen took over the topic in her stead, following this thread with curiosity.

This is probably the so-called curse of knowledge. Compared to Miss Liushuang, Miss Wen seemed to get into the state rather quickly.

Sighing inwardly, Fu Qian finally slowly withdrew his hand, allowing the tip of the Sword in the Stone to exit bit by bit.

"Three hands reaching for three swords, at the moment of contact, turning into this one before us, truly a classic scene—luckily ours isn’t so dull."

Casually depicting the scenario Wen Li mentioned, Fu Qian positioned his palm towards the two, allowing them to see the shape of the wound.

No longer deliberately suppressing recovery, the new granulation tissue was demonstrating astonishing vitality, swaying in various forms.

"First of all, all three swords were real, and I just knew at that moment, I could reach out for that one."

...

This challenges the imagination even further.

All swords were real, but if at a particular moment, one reached out for one sword, the remaining two would disappear?

It was clear Miss Wen was striving to understand, but ultimately she turned her head to Miss Liushuang, casting a pleading gaze towards a professional.

"I think I understand a bit..."

Much to the surprise, the latter did not disappoint.

"No reason at all, just knew it could be done, with no doubt about the result."

Facing Professor Fu’s abstract description, Miss Liushuang’s eyes became spirited, cautiously empathizing.

"Yes, does this feeling seem familiar?"

Fu Qian appeared increasingly satisfied, casually inquiring.

"Familiar... my Sword Intent feels like this."

Ji Liushuang took a deep breath.

"Sword Heart Enlightenment?"

Being a guest student for some time, Miss Wen had gained quite a bit of insight, especially regarding this laboratory assistant she spent every day with, momentarily exclaiming.

Professor Fu’s earlier description seemingly mirrored the sensation of Sword Intent?

So he really wasn’t bragging; aside from being a titan at the Heaven’s Commencement Institute, he was indeed a Sword Dao prodigy?

In casual conversations, one heard Ji Liushuang describe some of the deputy professor’s illustrious deeds, like "seeking advice from the Swordsmanship Department, impressing everyone without a strike."

Such demeanor perhaps inspired admiration, but one truly hadn’t considered him a professional player.

"Sounds like... indeed, only by covering one’s eyes can one become a true Sword Saint?"

This humility was consistent, pondering slightly, even Professor Fu agreed with the notion, drawing a conclusion hard to comprehend.

"Have your Academy’s mentors analyzed the origin of your Sword Intent?"

Luckily, the topic soon returned to the main focus, as Fu Qian curiously turned the conversation towards the Swordsmanship Department’s theoretical research.

...

"Unfortunately, no. Sword Intent itself is far more elusive than cultivation talent, generally considered truly rare and demanding destiny."

After the initial shock, Miss Liushuang quickly collected herself, organizing her words briskly.

Clearly, she realized Professor Fu was not only seriously discussing but the topic closely related to herself, a truly rare opportunity.

"Elusive... that’s quite accurate; indeed, it’s hard to grasp."

Nodding slightly, Fu Qian didn’t deny the statement, thinking of something else—the Bloodline Power, which seemed equally fitting to describe as elusive.

Indeed, he hadn’t forgotten the initial purpose of the test, which was to see if the future head of the Ji Family was truly blessed with some kind of destiny.

Compared to Ji family’s other brilliant youths, Miss Liushuang apparently had no Ashfall talent.

Already proven, she was closely linked to the mysterious power of the Unseen Hillock, easily understandable as influenced by Old Master Ji Feng’s favor.

So, is Ji Liushuang’s cultivation talent, including the recently awakened Sword Heart Enlightenment, merely fate compensation unrelated to her bloodline?

According to Miss Liushuang, the mentors and predecessors at the Swordsmanship Department seemed to perceive it that way.

Even if at this moment, she seemed to have no evidence to refute it.

Yet this slightly uncanny coincidence inevitably prompted speculation.

After attaching the Eldest Son’s Perspective, unexpectedly, a real sense of Sword Heart Enlightenment emerged?

The previous description had no artistic embellishment, the two indeed seemed somewhat similar.

Even in Fu Qian’s perception, Sword Heart Enlightenment felt like a simplified version.

...

So one of the True Meanings of the Sword Path hides in the world seen after cornea removal and brain surrender?

Not entirely implausible, given Sword Dao Cultivation includes abstract sayings such as "a sword in hand, and yet no sword in heart."

Though Fu Qian always felt there was more to it.

Perhaps the reason is unclear for now, but just this aspect alone he deemed already an unexpected gain.

The Burial Scroll this time wasn’t wasted, and the young people indeed did well, bringing him surprises.

If later Mr. Ji Sr. could also relate to this, things would become even more interesting.

Ah—

In a hopeful anticipation of the future, while stroking his fully healed palm, Fu Qian unexpectedly uttered a piercing scream.

Wasn’t it too painful? Moreover, was the reflex arc rather too long?

Though the night was not deep, all was quiet, the sudden commotion clearly startled Wen Li and the two, thinking such a reaction from someone like Professor Fu was incomprehensible.

"What happened?"

As the injurer, Miss Liushuang spoke first, cautiously confirming Professor Fu’s condition.

Simultaneously, she vaguely felt the stir was somewhat familiar, as if heard sometime...

"Nothing, all is well."

No discomfort showed on Fu Qian’s face while waving his hand, indicating not to worry.

Bam—

In the midst of exchanging glances, the laboratory door was violently swung open from outside shortly thereafter.

Looking up, it was the Academy’s young mentor Professor Lisa, storming in furiously.
