Han Sen could tell she was being arrogant, but he wasn't going to go easy on her. He wasn't angry, though. He smiled and said, "I have learned geno arts of every element. Although I am not very good at them, I am good enough."
"Enough?" the yellow-clothed man asked seriously. "Are you sure the geno arts you have learned are enough?" he asked. He sounded serious.
"It should be good enough."
Han Sen didn't know what was wrong with Yellow Clothes. She spoke as if she was insulting someone. She wanted to see who was better.
"In that case, I will test your basic sword skills," Yellow Clothes coldly said. "Do you know how to listen to a sword?"
"What is listening to a sword?" Han Sen really didn't know what Yellow Clothes meant by listening to a sword.
Yellow Clothes didn't mock Han Sen's ignorance this time. She coldly explained, "The sword is like the person. The person is like the sound. Before you see the person, you have to hear the sound. A friend is one who doesn't see the person. You can only communicate with the person through the sound. That way, you don't have to judge a book by its cover.
It is the same with swords. If you only look at the shape, you don't understand the sword. You have to be able to listen to the sword and understand the nature of the sword. That is the only way you can truly understand a sword. "
This was the first time Han Sen had heard something like this. He thought it was very interesting, so he asked, "People can talk, but swords can't. How can you tell the nature of a sword by listening to the sound?"
"The sound of a zither is not a language. How can you know the meaning of a zither just by listening to the sound?
Swords can't talk, but the sound they make is the sound of a sword. If you really understand swords, even if you can't see the sword, you should be able to tell what kind of sword it is just by listening to the sound it makes, "Yellow Clothes said.
Han Sen didn't believe her. He looked at Yellow Clothes and said, "Does that mean if I take out a sword and swing it around, you will be able to tell what kind of sword it is?"
"Of course," Yellow Clothes answered.
"In that case, I have a sword that I would like you to evaluate," Han Sen said.
"Yes." Yellow Clothes turned around and closed her eyes. She said to Han Sen, "Now you can practice with your sword."
Han Sen's heart jumped, and he used his body to block the attack. Then, he summoned a poisonous mushroom beast soul.
The Poisonous Mushroom Umbrella beast soul was a weapon beast soul, but it was not a sword. It was an umbrella, and when folded together, it was three feet long. It could also be used as a sword.
Han Sen held the umbrella and swung two sword skills. He used his Dongxuan Area to observe Yellow Clothes. He didn't want her to use a geno art to peek at the umbrella.
Han Sen realized he had been overthinking things. Yellow Clothes hadn't used a geno art to peek. She was just listening to the sounds of Han Sen's sword swinging.
"That's enough." Han Sen had only performed two moves when Huang Yi spoke.
Han Sen waved his hand and the umbrella disappeared. He then looked at Huang Yi and said, "Miss Yi Yi, please give me some pointers. What do you think of my sword's sound?"
"That sword is not good," Huang Yi said calmly.
"How is it not good?" Han Sen asked.
"If you use an umbrella as a sword, you should focus on stabbing and sweeping," Huang Yi said casually. "Your sword skills are more about slashing."
Han Sen wasn't surprised. Listening to sounds wasn't difficult. Han Sen could do it, too. Many Kings could do it, so it wasn't too surprising.
Huang Yi seemed to know what Han Sen was thinking. She went on to say, "Your umbrella's sound is bitter. If I have heard it correctly, it is a poisonous umbrella. Its sound is pure and does not dissipate. It is a King class treasure."
"You know how to listen to umbrellas?"
Han Sen was shocked. He hadn't used the poisonous umbrella's power. Even if people used their eyes to look, they wouldn't have been able to tell the umbrella was poisonous. Plus, a poisonous umbrella beast soul shouldn't have appeared in the universe before. Huang Yi couldn't have recognized it. How did she know that the umbrella was poisonous? That made Han Sen wonder.
"Everything works the same way. I can listen to swords, so I can listen to umbrellas. There is nothing in this world that I cannot listen to," Huang Yi said naturally. It was as if that was how it should be.
Huang Yi's tone was too arrogant. Even the elders of the higher races wouldn't dare say they knew everything. Yet, Huang Yi had said it so casually, as if it was something insignificant.
Han Sen thought, "This woman is so arrogant, and she is a King class elite. She must be someone important among the Sky. Why didn't I see her the last time I went to Sky Palace?"
Huang Yi knew what Han Sen was thinking. She brushed her hair and coldly said to Han Sen, "If you don't believe me, you can use any geno art you like. I don't need to see it with my eyes. I can hear it with my ears, and I can tell what it is."
"Interesting. I would like to see such a magical listening skill," Han Sen said with a smile.
"Please." Huang Yi's eyes flashed with a smile.
She had tried so hard to get close to Han Sen. She had told Han Sen so much because she wanted to know more about Han Sen. The best way to learn more about him was to see how well he had practiced his geno arts.
She had only said that to scare Han Sen. Huang Yi had practiced a secret skill of the Very High called Very High Sense. She could feel the essence of everything.
Not to mention being able to listen, even if her seven senses were sealed, everything around her would still be reflected in her mind like a mirror, allowing her to sense and understand everything clearly.
Han Sen didn't believe Huang Yi. He thought for a while, and then he turned his hands into stone. It was the Petrify skill he had learned from Left Crazy.
Han Sen thought, "My Petrify skill doesn't make a sound. I don't think you can hear it."
Because only his hands were petrified, Han Sen could still move his arms. He used the power of his arms to swing around. He didn't use any skills, and then he asked Huang Yi, who was facing away from him, "What geno art did you hear me use?"
Huang Yi had used Very High Sense to sense Han Sen's movements. She didn't turn her head. She kept her back to him and said, "Your two punches sounded very clumsy, but they were very natural. If I am hearing you correctly, you must have used Petrify. As for the fist skill, if I had to name it, I would call it Petrify Fist."
Han Sen was shocked. He sighed and said, "Lady Yi, you are very good."
"Petrify is too lame," Huang Yi said coldly. "You can use any secret geno art you want. If I say something wrong, you don't have to come with me to hunt the core bronze tripod."
She wanted to provoke Han Sen. She wanted to make Han Sen use the geno arts he was really good at. That way, she could learn more about Han Sen's past.
Dollar and Human were two names that were unfamiliar to the geno universe. She couldn't find out anything about him.
