As Trace spoke, a trace of sorrow and unwillingness appeared on his face. "Forget it! Let's temporarily set aside the grudge between Verdant Pine and Semaj. From now on, no one is allowed to mention it again!"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, the members of the Hidden World Wood family present couldn't help but exchange glances. But in the end, they all nodded in agreement.
The Hidden World Wood family was domineering, but that was only when dealing with weaker individuals or families. After the two powerful Golden Core experts in the family had fallen one after another, they realized a problem: Lachlan and the forces behind him were not something the Hidden World Wood family could afford to provoke.
In such a situation, cutting losses in a timely manner was the most correct choice.
"Oh, by the way! Mr. Wood, you should go to Edoland and meet with Lachlan to explain things clearly to him. Just say that Verdant Pine intercepted him, but that was only Verdant Pine's own decision. And Semaj went to Edoland only for personal revenge. Their actions have nothing to do with our family," Trace instructed an elderly man with a white beard.
"Yes, Trace! I understand what to do," the elderly man replied, bowing.
That night, after soothing Nora to sleep, Lachlan practiced his swordsmanship in the courtyard once again. Today's battle with Semaj, the Golden Core expert, had given him a new understanding. The experience of fighting against someone at a higher cultivation level, as well as the state of mind that arose under that pressure, was undoubtedly valuable.
Lachlan recalled his state at that time, the battle intent, the unstoppable momentum.
Swish!
In the next moment, a sharp light shot out from his eyes, and his Glacial River Dragon Sparrow Blade traced a subtle trajectory as it slashed forward. In this strike, he didn't use any true energy, relying solely on the strength of his physical body.
However, the power was equally astonishing. Where the blade passed, the space seemed to be torn apart by a special force. Even a distant pomegranate tree branch was severed by an invisible sword energy.
"This is... the power of 'momentum'?"
"I've comprehended momentum?"
Lachlan's eyes sparkled with excitement as he muttered to himself. During his battle with Semaj today, driven by a frenzy of battle intent, he felt as if he had vaguely touched upon some special power. Through careful perception and comprehension, he unexpectedly gained insight into "momentum"!
"Momentum" was an intangible and elusive thing, but it undeniably existed. Why could a person standing before a majestic mountain feel the overwhelming momentum rushing toward them? Why would one feel boundless fear and trepidation when facing the sea? Why would an ordinary person sense a formidable presence from a seasoned warrior?
All of these were manifestations of "momentum".
And for martial practitioners, comprehending "momentum" could greatly enhance their strength. It was a power that could be utilized and added to their attacks. Lachlan realized that his ordinary attacks now contained the essence of "momentum," doubling their power compared to before.
This concept was similar to the morale of two armies in battle. With the same number of soldiers, the side with high morale would exhibit vastly different combat capabilities compared to the side with low morale.
Now that Lachlan had comprehended "momentum," his attacks seemed to possess an inherent "morale boost," and their power was incomparable to before.
"Now, if I were to fight another early-stage Golden Core expert, perhaps it wouldn't be as perilous as it was during the day!"
"It seems that only life-and-death battles can unleash one's maximum potential!"
Lachlan couldn't help but sigh.
