Chapter 185: Passing on the Sword
He felt that his swordsmanship was even better than Xiao Ruoling's.
Xiao Ruoling had only just started practicing the sword, and wasn't skilled enough. He had been practicing swordsmanship for several years.
This was a rare opportunity.
He wanted to beat Xiao Ruoling once, and at the same time let Chu Zhiyuan see his swordsmanship and give him some pointers. Chu Zhiyuan stepped back, giving up his position.
Xiao Ruoyu held his sword and shook it gently, smiling and saying, "My swordsmanship is the Jinghai Sword Art, be careful." Xiao Ruoling snorted, "You should be careful, watch my sword!"
Her figure was supple and strong, lithe and graceful, with the elegance of a cheetah. Every move contained a moving beauty. Chu Zhiyuan watched, sighing inwardly.
This was the beauty of a supreme beauty, not just in appearance, but in all aspects, not just static beauty, but even more beautiful in motion, every frown and smile could stir the heart. She waved her sword, conjuring up a shadow that enveloped Xiao Ruoyu.
Xiao Ruoyu's expression was calm, and he used the Jinghai Sword Art, trying to restrain the overwhelming sword shadows, but these overwhelming sword shadows were indistinguishable between reality and illusion. Originally, he wanted to directly knock Xiao Ruoling back like Chu Zhiyuan, but found that he couldn't do it, he couldn't see her sword.
After two thrusts missed, he adopted a defensive stance.
"Bang!" In the muffled sound, he retreated, clutching his chest. Chu Zhiyuan smiled.
This Flower-Moon Shadow Sword was indeed exquisite.
Xiao Ruoling's comprehension was also amazing. After only half a day of practice, she was able to suppress Xiao Ruoyu, who had practiced for a long time. Of course, Xiao Ruoyu spent most of his time practicing internal skills, after all, the most powerful aspect of the Jinghai Boundless Sutra was the palm technique.
It was only when he reached the Innate Realm or the Grandmaster Realm that he could truly exert the power of the Jinghai Boundless Sutra. The Acquired Realm was still a bit lacking. He couldn't accept that his swordsmanship, which he had practiced for so long, had been defeated.
Xiao Ruoyu clutched his chest and hummed, "It was a fluke, let's go again!" "Let's go again!" Xiao Ruoling smiled.
Her confidence rose.
Originally, she was defeated by Chu Zhiyuan with one blow, which was quite a blow.
She knew that most of Chu Zhiyuan's energy was focused on breaking through realms, and his swordsmanship was also extremely powerful, otherwise he wouldn't have won both competitions. But her swordsmanship was so bad? Broken in one move?
After one sword succeeded, breaking the Jinghai Sword Art, she immediately regained her confidence, feeling that her swordsmanship was indeed exquisite. Chu Zhiyuan couldn't help but smile when he saw Xiao Ruoling's expression.
Xiao Ruohuan joining in the fun to learn swordsmanship was a good thing for Xiao Ruoling, it just so happened that it allowed Xiao Ruoling to build confidence. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to stand being constantly defeated by him.
"Bang!" Xiao Ruoyu clutched his chest and retreated again.
"Let's go again!" Xiao Ruoyu roared unwillingly.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "What your eyes see is not necessarily true, it will deceive you, you have to learn to use your heart, the heart and eyes combine, to feel the reality and illusion of the sword."
Xiao Ruoyu felt it was too profound.
Chu Zhiyuan continued, "Reality and illusion are actually different, it just depends on whether you can see it, feel it, and then find the pattern and capture the sword of reality and illusion." "What's the difference?" Xiao Ruoyu couldn't help but ask.
He was using the Jinghai Sword Art, the sword shadows enveloping his body, as if a curtain had been laid down to cover himself. It was almost impenetrable.
But he still couldn't defend against Xiao Ruoling's sword. He felt inexplicable and unbelievable.
"Bang!" His chest was struck by the sword again, he clutched his chest and retreated two steps, staring helplessly at Xiao Ruoling. Xiao Ruoling smiled calmly, "You almost defended against me."
"Eldest sister, don't be so smug!" Xiao Ruoyu said unconvinced: "It would be good if you could defend against brother-in-law's sword." "He is a grandmaster, of course I can't defend against it."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I have always used the power of the Innate Perfected Realm, without using Gang Qi, the speed and strength are slowed down to be similar to yours." "Then watch my sword!" Xiao Ruoling waved her sword, and the overwhelming sword shadows enveloped him.
She felt that at this moment she had a new understanding of swordsmanship, her power had increased greatly, and the illusory sword shadows were even more dense, making it impossible to defend against. Chu Zhiyuan thrust out a sword lightly.
The wooden sword pierced through the overwhelming sword shadows and struck the long sword in her hand.
"Bang!" Half of her body was numb, she retreated two steps helplessly and shook her arm.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "The traces are still too heavy, you can't achieve unity of reality and illusion, a perfect whole."
"Then how can I do it?"
"Flower-Moon Shadow Sword, what you think of is the moon shadow in the flowers, right? .. The moon shadow is the flower shadow, the flower and the shadow are one illusion and one reality, this is only the initial layer, too shallow, it hasn't reached the true essence." "Essence .?"
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Moon and flowers, and shadows, you only thought of flowers and shadows, but you forgot the moon, what is the moon? The moon is in the sky, overlooking the world!" "Moon ." Xiao Ruoling stood on the spot, pondering.
Chu Zhiyuan nodded secretly.
Xiao Ruoling's comprehension was indeed stronger.
Xiao Ruoyu's aptitude was good, but Xiao Ruoling was even better. Xiao Ruoyu was also frowning, thinking about his swordsmanship.
Why was he defeated so miserably? Could it be that he had been practicing wrong all along?
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Jinghai Sword Art, the so-called Jinghai, requires a kind of open and firm demeanor, under the angry sea and giant waves, how can you make it quiet down?"
"How to quiet down?"
"What if it were you?"
"Naturally, I would suppress it."
"You're completely going in the opposite direction, you're completely on the wrong path. Who did you learn the swordsmanship from?" "I practiced according to the sword manual."
"No wonder." Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "To pacify the sea, it's not about suppressing it, but about removing the wind. If there is no wind, the sea will naturally be calm." "Remove the wind?"
"Then do you know, what is wind?" "Um . the heart?"
"Not bad, not bad!" Chu Zhiyuan showed an admiring expression. This Xiao Ruoyu was also born with wisdom, with high comprehension, and smiled: "The key to the Jinghai Sword Art is the heart. Let him be strong, I will ignore it, the heart is like still water, without waves, then there will be no wind and no waves." "The heart is like still water ..."
"Understanding this point is not enough, you still need to do it," Chu Zhiyuan said: "You are now in the prime of your blood and energy, your heart is most fond of moving, and cannot be quiet, so you are not suitable for practicing this set of swordsmanship, change to another swordsmanship." "This is the swordsmanship on the Jinghai Boundless Sutra!" Xiao Ruoyu said unwillingly: "The power is extremely amazing."
"No matter how good the swordsmanship is, no matter how strong the power is, if it doesn't fit you, practicing it will be counterproductive and a loss outweighs the gain," Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "Wait another ten years, it won't be too late for you to practice this swordsmanship after ten years, if you practice this sword again at forty, one day of practice will be worth three years of practice now!"
"... Really?"
"Unless you can now achieve a heart like still water." Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "If an opponent walks past you, will you be unmoved?" ". No."
"Then it's too easy to break your swordsmanship, a few provocative words, and your state of mind will be broken, and the swordsmanship will lose its power." "... Okay, I'll change swordsmanship." Xiao Ruoyu said helplessly: "There's no other good swordsmanship, they're not as good as it."
"If you haven't thought of anything else, I'll pass on a set of swordsmanship to you." Chu Zhiyuan said: "It was comprehended from the White Cloud Sword Stele, its power should be enough to use." Xiao Ruoling's spirit lifted.
Others didn't know that he went to the White Cloud Sword Palace to comprehend the White Cloud Sword Stele, but Xiao Ruoling and Xiao Ruoyu knew, and had always been curious about what swordsmanship he had comprehended. He was actually going to pass it on to himself, Xiao Ruoyu was immediately excited.
