Now That I'm Here, You'll Have to Listen to Me

At the River of Deathly Silence in the Heavenly Note Sect, Jiang Hao sat on the hill as he read a book.

For the past four months, he had been studying the Seven Forms of the Heavenly Blade.

Unfortunately, the time was too short to yield much progress.

However, he remained composed. He read and practiced diligently.

Sometimes his blade swings became slower.

Though the book did not specify speed, adhering too strictly to the manual could be limiting.

Yet, he could not completely discard it. He needed to master it thoroughly and then use his own understanding to find the blade technique that was most suitable for him.

Perhaps he would gain some insights, but often, his attempts fell short of the book's instructions.

After all, manuals were refined through countless revisions so that the most accurate methods were available.

Only those with exceptional talent and fortune could hope to improve upon them.
