The Hunters Become The Hunted

(Vijay Shivanand's POV)

Out of all the numerous branches of cultivation…. the way of the sword remains the most popular.

Just like the rest of my childhood friends, I saw the dramas and historical videos on the virtual net.

Sword cultivators who were capable of splitting mountains apart with a single strike and dancing around the battlefield while slaughtering their enemies.

When my father handed me a wooden sword to train, it was one of the happiest days of my life.

Despite the high popularity of sword cultivators, most potential seedlings will fail to form a single strand of sword qi even after years of training.

The way of the sword does not require talent alone but rather….

Practice.

Practice.

And more practice.

Swinging your training sword for hours on end until your hands are shaking, and your legs are ready to give out.

Repeating different stances and routines until they become second nature.

Your sword should react before your mind even has time to think.
