Warren's Rise and Fall
Chapter 223: Practicing SwordsmanshipWang Lunwo and Yan Jinfan had just finished exchanging items. At this moment, they came to Wang Lunwo's residence together. Although this residence is not luxurious, it is full of tranquility and the atmosphere of spiritual practice. In the yard, several ancient trees stretched out their branches and leaves, as if telling the story of the years. In the room, the simple layout revealed the owner's concentration on spiritual practice.
Yan Jinfan frowned slightly, his face full of worry. He asked, "Brother Wang, is our sect really going to join forces with Liuli Sect and Cangyun Sect to go to war with Hehuan Sect this time?"
Wang Lunwo responded calmly, "Fellow Daoist Yan, don't worry too much. If our sect really wants to join forces with Liuli Sect and Cangyun Sect to fight against Hehuan Sect, we can go and train together. I just heard what Elder Fang Yuheng and the elder who registered the weapons exchange office said. This time, we are very likely to join forces with Liuli Sect and Cangyun Sect to encircle and suppress Hehuan Sect. After all, some female disciples of our sect were abducted to Hehuan Sect before. This battle is inevitable."
Wang Lunwo's words revealed a kind of courage, and he did not seem to be afraid of the upcoming war. However, his current mind was mainly focused on the "Yu Shui Han" sword that he had just exchanged for. He knew very well that his previous axe and shield combination was no longer suitable for the current Qi Ji realm. And this "Yu Shui Han" sword seemed to have a very high upper limit, and it might accompany him through a long period of cultivation. Thinking of this, he had a strong desire in his heart to get familiar with this sword as soon as possible.
"Come on, Fellow Daoist Yan, accompany me to the courtyard outside to practice swordplay, so that I can get familiar with this 'Yu Shui Han' sword." Wang Lunwo's eyes were full of expectation, and he strode out of the room. After hearing what Wang Lunwo said, Yan Jinfan's worries were temporarily put aside. He understood that once Wang Lunwo made a decision, it would be difficult to change it. Moreover, he also felt that at this time, accompanying Wang Lunwo to practice swordplay might be a good choice. So, he also relaxed and followed Wang Lunwo to the courtyard.
In the yard, the sun shines on the ground, creating a golden glow. The breeze blows gently, and the leaves rustle, as if playing a prelude to the sword fighting competition that is about to begin. Wang Lunwo holds the "Yu Shui Han" sword, and the sword body flashes with a cold light, as if telling of its extraordinaryness. Yan Jinfan draws out his own sword, and the sword body also exudes a sharp breath.
Since Wang Lunwo had always used an axe and shield before, he was not very familiar with the basic sword moves. Yan Jinfan knew this very well, so he decided to start teaching from the most basic sword moves. "Brother Wang, the foundation of sword moves lies in the movements of picking, stabbing, chopping, slashing, blocking, eliminating, and parrying. Each movement has its own unique skills and essentials, you have to experience them carefully." Yan Jinfan said as he demonstrated each sword move.
Wang Lunwo watched Yan Jinfan's demonstration intently, his heart filled with curiosity and desire for sword moves. He began to slowly comprehend the basic sword moves, picking, stabbing, chopping, slashing, blocking, eliminating, and parrying. He tried his best to experience each move. He seemed to have entered a whole new world, a world where there was only him and the sword. He felt the weight of the sword, the sharpness of the sword, and the agility of the sword. Gradually, he began to become familiar with these basic sword moves.
The two of them continued to compete with each other in sword moves at the speed of ordinary people. Yan Jinfan basically fed Wang Lunwo with moves, and Wang Lunwo responded with different sword moves at the same time. Their figures shuttled back and forth in the yard, and the sound of swords clashing with swords continued to ring out, as if playing a fierce battle movement. The sun gradually became hotter, and sweat slid down their foreheads, but they had no intention of stopping. They were immersed in the world of sword moves and forgot the passage of time.
In this way, they practiced from the time the sun was high in the sky to the time the sun set. In the reflection of the setting sun, Wang Lunwo and Yan Jinfan looked particularly determined. Their eyes were full of persistence in practice and expectations for the future.
"Brother Wang, let's stop here today. I see that you have roughly mastered the basic sword moves. What remains is to attach your own elemental attributes to the sword moves to achieve the corresponding cultivation effect. For example, if your current combat power is attached with your own aura of the Great Dao of Water, I am afraid that ordinary cultivators in the Condensation Dan Realm will not be your opponent." Yan Jinfan put away his sword and analyzed calmly. He showed a gratified smile on his face. Seeing Wang Lunwo's progress in sword moves, he felt sincerely happy.
"Okay, Fellow Daoist Yan, thank you for your guidance today. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have to spend more time on these basic sword moves." Wang Lunwo also thanked Yan Jinfan. He knew very well that without Yan Jinfan's guidance, he would not be able to master the basic sword moves in such a short time.
Yan Jinfan rode on his sword and flew towards his residence. His figure gradually faded away in the sky, leaving Wang Lunwo alone in the yard in deep thought. Wang Lunwo looked at Yan Jinfan's figure going away, and his heart was filled with gratitude. He knew how lucky he was to have such a good friend in this challenging world of immortal heroes.
Wang Lunwo returned to his room. As soon as he sat down, he couldn't wait to communicate with the remnant soul in the jade pendant. "Senior, do you have any sword skills passed down? I just got a sword, and I really want to become a cool swordsman." Wang Lunwo's voice was full of expectation and desire.
"You kid, you always think of me when you need something. You never come to chat with me on weekdays to relieve my boredom." The voice of Senior Canhun sounded in Wang Lunwo's mind, with a hint of blame.
"Senior, actually I wanted to chat with you to relieve my boredom, but when I thought about how much higher your previous realm was than mine, I was afraid that my experiences would be a joke to you, so I didn't share them with you." Wang Lunwo explained quickly.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Whether you tell me or not is your business, and whether I am interested or not is my business." Although Senior Canhun's tone was stern, Wang Lunwo could feel a hint of care in it.
"Okay, I got it, senior. I will definitely share with you what I see and hear in the future." Wang Lunwo said sincerely.
"Okay, just remember it. I do have some sword techniques passed down in my hands, the most outstanding of which is the "Five Elements Sword Technique". But your five attributes have not yet reached a balanced state, and your understanding is not deep. It is too early for you to learn this sword technique now. Let me teach you the "Nine-Layer Water" sword technique. As the name suggests, this sword technique has nine levels, and the power of the sword technique will increase by one point with each increase in level. When you practice to the ninth level, it should match your cultivation level in the Tribulation Crossing period. At present, your cultivation level is still in the Qi Ji realm, and it is very good to be able to practice the first level well, and it happens to match your aura of the Great Dao of Water. I will now teach the first level of the "Nine-Layer Water" sword technique to your consciousness, and you should not be distracted." The voice of Senior Canhun was full of majesty.
"Okay." Wang Lunwo said, concentrating on receiving the sword tactics. He closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and completely immersed his consciousness in the soul-soothing jade pendant. He could feel a strong force pouring into his mind, which was the first level of the "Nine-Layer Water" sword tactics. This force was like a surging wave, impacting his consciousness. He tried to stay awake and feel every detail and every move with his heart.
As the sword art was taught, Wang Lunwo seemed to see a whole new world. In this world, the power of the Great Way of Water was everywhere. He saw the turbulent sea, the cascading waterfall, and the tranquil and deep lake. He felt the softness and tenacity of water, and felt the power and wisdom of water. He knew that this was the secret of the "Nine-Layer Water" sword art.
Wang Lunwo was immersed in the world of sword tactics and forgot the passage of time. He felt every move and every detail of the sword tactics over and over again. He seemed to be integrated with the water and became a part of it. His heart was full of love for kendo and expectations for the future. He knew that his kendo journey had just begun and there was still a long way to go.
