The reason Shen Muyu is hailed as an unprecedented genius in the Shen Family for a thousand years is due to his astonishing creativity in the Sword Dao.
The Ten Fingers Sword, which he created in his youth, amazed the entire Shen Family upon its debut and established him as the foremost figure of the younger generation.
As the name implies, the Ten Fingers Sword is a swordsmanship extending from the ten fingers of both hands. The key lies in Shen Muyu's creative integration of ten distinctly different Sword Intents perfectly with his fingers.
This alone was enough to make even a genius like Shen Hongyi admit defeat.
Because, generally, a Sword Cultivator would specialize in only one Sword Intent their entire life, and even the exceptional ones would at most master two.
No one has ever been able to wield ten different Sword Intents at once like Shen Muyu, without any conflict.
