ch20

Wu Changkong frowned and said that in his opinion, Lin Xuan's situation was too radical.

　　"Teach yourself!"

　　Lin Xuan said.

　　Wu Zhangkong nodded. He had expected this.

　　"So what sword techniques have you learned?"

　　"Just a set of basic sword moves!"

　　Lin Xuan touched his head and said.

　　"Then your martial spirit must not be a sword!"

　　A rare smile appeared on Wu Zhangkong's cold face.

　　How could Wu Changkong know? Has he seen my information?

　　Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

　　"Yes! My martial soul is a plant-type martial soul."

　　Although the name of Green Leaf Sword Grass contains the word "sword", it actually has little to do with swords. It is just sharper than ordinary Green Leaf Grass. He just likes to call it that.

　　"I don't know what your martial spirit is, and I haven't seen any information about you."

　　As if he had seen through Lin Xuan's thoughts, Wu Changkong suddenly spoke.

　　"Please give me some advice, teacher!"

　　Lin Xuan clenched his fist and saluted. This Wu Changkong seems to have something!

　　Wu Zhangkong accepted his gift with a smile and was very satisfied with Lin Xuan's humble attitude.

　　"What do you think a sword is? How do you train a sword?"

　　Wu Zhangkong did not answer Lin Xuan directly, but asked instead.

　　Thank you all for your monthly tickets and recommendation tickets! I am also very grateful for the reward from a brother. This is the first time the author has received a reward, and I am a little excited.

Chapter 25 Roots and Leaves

　　"What is a sword?"

　　Lin Xuan listened and murmured.

　　The sword is a weapon to him, and his love for using swords is purely influenced by the culture of his previous life. He just likes the unrestrained feeling of "riding the sword on the wind to eliminate demons between heaven and earth".

　　As for how to practice swordsmanship, he had no idea. He was originally a self-taught person and had never received any relevant guidance. He only improved his basic swordsmanship little by little with the help of the system.

　　But this system did not tell him how to practice swordsmanship. It only gave him insights and inspiration on how to take basic swordsmanship to the next level.

　　But it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand, because this is a unique skill of time travelers!

　　"In my opinion, sword training can be divided into five steps. The first is sharp sword. At this time, the sword is used to hurt the enemy by using the edge of the sword itself. This is relying on the sword's edge. The second is soft sword... The last step is no sword. There is no sword in the hand but there is a sword in the heart."

　　Lin Xuan said without blushing or beating his heart.

　　I just don't know if the theory of this previous scientific world is reliable. However, this set of ideas is widely circulated, and there must be some logic in it.

　　Wu Zhangkong listened to Lin Xuan's sword theory and frowned at first, but then relaxed.

　　"Is this really what you thought?"

　　Wu Changkong glanced at Lin Xuan with a half-smile.

　　If this kid really figured this out, I wouldn't have come to see him today.

　　"Ahem! I heard this from an old man who raised birds when I was collecting trash. I think it makes sense."

　　Lin Xuan touched his head and said guiltily.

　　It seems that I am still too thin-skinned. I still need to learn from those shameless time travelers.

　　Lin Xuan reflected deeply on himself.

　　"This set of sword theory is not in line with the mainstream on the mainland now."

　　Wu Changkong said to Lin Xuan.

　　"Is this set wrong?"

　　Lin Xuan frowned and said, "Novels are indeed murderous."

　　"No! Quite the opposite! The person who proposed this theory is definitely a sword master who has walked his own path."

　　Wu Changkong shook his head and said.

　　Lin Xuan's eyes lit up. He meant that sometimes novels are still somewhat useful. Anyone who dared to say that novels are just full of nonsense to fool people.

　　"It's just that this path is different from the mainstream swordsmanship on the mainland today."

　　"The sword theory you are talking about emphasizes skills, and takes the path of skills being close to the way, which can be called the way of sword skills. The mainstream sword theory on the mainland is about the combination of soul power and one's own will, which is the way of sword intention."

　　"The mainstream sword realms on the mainland today are divided into sword skills, unity of man and sword, sword intent, sword soul and sword god!"

　　Wu Zhangkong patiently preached to Lin Xuan. He paused, then continued.

　　"Just talking about the way of sword intent, the realm you are in now is the unity of man and sword, which is the second stage. This is almost the highest realm you can reach by practicing basic swordsmanship."

　　"Sword Intention! This refers to the will of the swordsman, and this sword method is the container that carries the will!"

　　"These sword techniques passed down from generation to generation have another name called self-created soul skills, so if you have a sword martial soul, you can also reach the sword realm through your own soul skills."

　　"That's why I guess you don't have a sword spirit."

　　Wu Zhangkong glanced at Lin Xuan and said, "Only the sword martial soul's soul skills can be integrated with the sword spirit."

　　Compared to the way of sword skills, what the mainland now advocates is the combination of one's own soul power, soul skills and mental strength, taking a step-by-step approach.

　　"To put it simply, this basic sword technique is just a floor tile, and these soul skills are the house built with this floor tile. This house can be lived in, but the floor tile cannot! Do you understand?"

　　Wu Zhangkong explained to Lin Xuan in a different way.

　　"So it is impossible to cultivate basic swordsmanship to the level of sword intent?"

　　Lin Xuan asked doubtfully.

　　"It's not absolute, but it's relatively difficult. As far as I know, there was once a genius swordsman on Xingluo Continent who cultivated pure sword intent, but it took him more than a hundred years to complete it until he died."

　　Wu Changkong shook his head again.

　　This road is not impossible, it is just difficult. The polarization is too serious, just like a person jumping into the abyss. Either he learns to fly and soars into the sky, or he sinks into the abyss and never recovers.

　　The senior who proposed this theory should not have a high level of soul power. Although this sword technique is extreme, it also has its advantages, that is, it has almost no requirements for cultivation.

　　Unlike today's sword arts, which have corresponding requirements for soul power and mental strength.

　　"All right!"

　　Lin Xuan nodded, understanding.

　　Although this brick cannot be used as a house, if my brick is as big as the house, that may not be the case.

　　"Which of these two sword techniques is stronger?"

　　Lin Xuan looked at Wu Changkong curiously again. Wu Changkong groaned for a moment, then spoke slowly.

　　"The sword intent in the first part is more important than the sword skills, and the two in the second part each have their own merits."

　　The sword skills that Lin Xuan talked about remained at the technical level in the early stages. It was easy to get started but difficult to master. Only in the last two stages did they begin to transcend sword skills.

　　"I understand! But to learn these sword techniques, do I need to join those organizations?"

　　Lin Xuan nodded and said, but then changed the subject and looked at Wu Changkong.

　　The Tang Sect has a history of more than 20,000 years, so there is definitely no shortage of these things.

　　"That's true."

　　Wu Zhangkong nodded, but said nothing else. He just stood there with a calm look on his face.

　　"Thank you for your guidance, teacher!"

　　Lin Xuan performed the disciple's salute and did not dwell on this issue any further.

　　Lin Xuan had expected this result, he was just trying it out. The two of them were not related, and Wu Changkong would not rashly pull him into the Tang Sect.

　　Forget about the Tang Sect, the Spirit Transferring Tower is also possible.

　　"If you have any trouble with kendo in the future, you can come to Class 5 to find me."

　　After Wu Changkong finished speaking to Lin Xuan, he turned and left. Tang Wulin and the other two were still in the playground.

　　In fact, he still had a good impression of this student. Seeing Lin Xuan's talent in swordsmanship, he even had the idea of ​​directly recommending Lin Xuan to join the Tang Sect.

　　However, he quickly dismissed this idea. The Tang Sect's assessment cannot be too rash. The two of them have been together for too short a time, so they will have to observe for a while in the future.

　　"Thank you, Teacher Wu!"

　　Lin Xuan said as he clasped his fists at Wu Changkong's departing back.

　　"Sword skills and sword intent..."

　　Lin Xuan looked at the sword in his hand and muttered to himself.

　　In fact, he had some different opinions on Wu Changkong's statement. In his opinion, the relationship between sword skills and sword intent was more like the roots and leaves of a big tree.

　　Only when the roots are deep underground can the branches and leaves of the tree flourish and bear fruit. Conversely, only when the branches and leaves are luxuriant can the tree spread its roots wider and deeper.

　　The two complement each other.

　　Only children make choices, Lin Xuan decided to study both. Anyway, the system is in hand, it just takes a little more time every day.

　　"It's just that this self-created soul skill is a bit troublesome!"

　　Lin Xuan scratched his hair in distress. Going from zero to one is the hardest thing.

　　The system won't create it for him, so Lin Xuan has to create a basic template himself.

　　For example, Saitama's body-building method was something he explored on his own for half a year before he came up with a set that was useful to him, and he modified many details in it.

　　Damn it, why isn't there any rich woman for him to cling to at this time?

　　He has good teeth and can eat both black and white food!

　　"Beep! Grandpa, your son is calling! Grandpa, your son is calling!"

　　Just when Lin Xuan was in distress, the soul guide phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

　　"Hey! Teacher!"

　　Lin Xuan answered the phone and Mang Tian's voice came through.

　　"Xiaoxuan, have you finished your school's opening matters? If you have time, bring Wulin to the forging room at noon."

　　Thank you for your support

Chapter 26: Saint Craftsman Mu Chen (First reward, additional chapters)

　　"Okay! Here it is, twenty-five dollars in total, thank you!"

　　The taxi driver said with a smile to Lin Xuan and Tang Wulin who got off the car.

　　"Um!"

　　After Lin Xuan paid the money, he took Tang Wulin to a small alley on the side of the road.

　　"Brother Xuan! Is the teacher's forging room really here?"

　　Tang Wulin took a look around the alley. The walls were covered with moss, and the bluestone slabs on the ground were like the front teeth of the old lady at the school gate, with patches here and there.

　　In one word, shabby!

　　This place is even more simple than the forging room in Aolai City.

　　"It's right here! I was here last time."

　　Lin Xuan said affirmatively that he and Mang Tian came to Donghai City last year to receive the task of Qianduan.
