"So..." Snow Girl lowered her head thoughtfully and muttered, "He is a sword master."
Gu Xun raised his eyebrows and nodded, "That's right."
"He is the Sword Master, the best swordsman in the world, and the strongest person in the world besides me."
"The strongest?" Xue Nu raised her head again, with a smile on her lips again, and asked, "You mean he is the second best in the world?"
"Well..." Gu Xun raised his head and pondered, "You can say that."
"I have had contact with top masters from Taoism, Yin-Yang, Mohism, Confucianism, Farmers, etc., etc. Anyway, in my opinion, Gai Nie's strength is the strongest among them all."
Unless this world is like the world of cultivating immortals, there is a kind of reclusive elder who likes to hide in a corner and practice silently, otherwise, Gai Nie is basically the ceiling of strength.
"Is he so powerful?" There was a trace of confusion on Xue Nu's face.
As a top expert who has already made a name for himself in the world and has few opponents, Xue Nu admits that Genie is very strong, but... she is asked to compare that middle-aged man with great hatred and deep hatred who wears silence and perseverance on his face all day long.
The word "second master in the world" can barely connect everything.
As the saying goes, there is no first in writing and no second in martial arts.
Literary men are self-effacing, but they also look down on each other, so they will not say that they are number one, let alone admit that others are number one. We will all be the number two together.
Warriors are arrogant and love to fight, so they all say that they are number one. If they don't accept it, they will fight. Whoever likes to be the second best will be the one.
Although Gai Nie's title of Swordsman has been recognized by the entire world, everyone is willing to call him the best swordsman in the world.
But he has absolutely nothing to do with clear rankings such as being the best player in the world or the second best player in the world.
He has never fought against those seniors who have been famous for decades, or even the masters of his generation, so why should I admit that he is strong?
In other words, it would be okay to say that he has some outrageous records (one against three thousand) similar to others (referring to Gu Xun), but no!
In short, it’s okay to call you Sword Saint.
Admit that you are the second best player in the world, no!
This is not the arrogance of a small group of people, but the consensus of most people, and Yuki-onna is no exception.
Even if Gai Nie is a disciple of Guigu, he is still just a middle-aged man in his forties.
No matter how talented you are, you may not necessarily be able to defeat the senior masters of hundreds of sects - your own Mo family is an exception. The giants of the previous generation disappeared inexplicably, and the two most powerful commanders died in Qin Ting.
Only the new generation of masters are left.
Regarding Xue Nu's question, Gu Xun smiled, then smacked his lips and considered his words before giving her a concrete explanation:
"Gai Nie's strength... to put it simply, if I are excluded, if he engages in a decisive battle with anyone, the other person will definitely die!"
"He can definitely win?" Snow Girl couldn't help but asked to confirm.
Gu Xun gave a different statement than hers, "He will definitely not lose."
"Of course, this is based on the fact that he doesn't hold back."
"Gai Nie's mind is sometimes too complicated. It's not easy to get him to give his best without reservation."
"..." Xue Nu was silent for a moment, silently accepting this statement, and then asked, "So, among this generation of Guigu Zongheng, the one who is stronger is Zongjian Heiren?"
Gu Xun shrugged, picked up the still-cooled barbecue and took a bite, "Absolutely."
"Actually, it's hard to say who is stronger and who is weaker between the two of them."
"The judgment method I just mentioned is actually unrealistic. After all, it is impossible to use a life-and-death battle to determine the winner. It is mainly my subjective opinion."
"Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie are at the same level in terms of strength. Unless they fight until one of them dies, it's impossible to tell a clear winner - by the way, if the difference is between life and death, Wei Zhuang will basically die. The difference in the outcome is
It just depends on whether Genie will die together."
"By the way, in the past two years, for some reason, sword manuals have suddenly become very popular. Many people regard this thing as a criterion for judging the strength of masters, but in fact it..."
The snow girl responded quickly, "It's not accurate, I know that."
"No, no, no." Gu Xun's oil-stained palms swung repeatedly, "It's not inaccurate."
"Not to mention too many, the general strength level of the top twenty people in the swordsmanship is pretty good. There may be some inappropriate rankings, but not many."
"The main problem with it is that it can give people an illusion, a very fatal illusion."
"What illusion?" Xue Nu was very surprised by Gu Xun's statement.
People who think that the sword manual is not accurate enough are gone, but...an illusion?
What kind of illusion can the sword manual give people? Is it just that it makes people misunderstand the differences between the strengths and weaknesses of certain people?
This can’t be said to be an illusion, it’s just a misunderstanding at most, right?
"Because there are some super-categories in it." Gu Xun said the key point with a smile.
"For a ranking list, people tend to subconsciously regard everyone on it as a group with slight differences in the same range."
"The ranking of sword manuals is very long, so most people will divide them into certain categories, but the top twenty...or at least the top ten sword masters will be regarded as the same type of people."
"But in fact, they cannot be regarded as the same kind of people."
"Uh... I understand somewhat, but also..." Xue Nu seemed to understand a bit about this long speech.
Gu Xun smiled, thought for a moment and then said, "Let me give you an example..."
"Do you think the Seven Swords Sword Masters - not you, but the sword masters of the previous generation, have a big gap in strength between them?"
"Hmm... You have mentioned this before. The strength of the sword masters of the previous generation is inconsistent..." Yuki Onu pondered for a while, "There is a gap, but I think it shouldn't be too great."
"Well..." Gu Xunting nodded slowly, "Unfortunately, the gap is actually very big, definitely bigger than you imagine."
"Among the seven swords, the Changhong Sword Master and the Ice Soul Sword Master are far stronger than the other five swords. Any one of them can defeat the others one-on-five."
"At his peak, Changhong Sword Master can defeat at least a dozen or twenty Yuhua Sword Masters at the same time, and it doesn't take much effort."
"Ah!?" The snow girl couldn't help but screamed after hearing this.
The gap between them is so outrageous, how can they be juxtaposed?
It feels like putting Gai Nie and a random gangster together and calling them two great swordsmen. It can be said that the two of them can kill indiscriminately - one is responsible for killing and the other is responsible for killing - but it is also true.
What nonsense.
Gu Xun waved his hand, indicating that she shouldn't pay too much attention, "The reason is very complicated, so I won't tell you. It doesn't make sense anyway."
It can't be said that it's because they want to make a sequel and they have to increase their combat power.
