Peerless Xiaolong

What is a sword?

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuan's expression suddenly froze. He didn't know how to answer Chen Xiao's question.

"Why, is this question difficult?" Chen Xiao asked.

Chu Yuan nodded without concealment and said, "I don't know, this junior!"

Chu Yuan raised his eyes, his eyes always locked on Chen Xiao. He did not feel any embarrassment or guilt.

Just because, in Chu Yuan's heart, he really didn't know what a sword was.

"Your answer surprised me."

Chen Xiao smiled lightly and said, "However, you are much better than those who pretend to understand. You dare to look directly at your own shortcomings, which many people do not have."

The next second, Chen Xiao stepped in front of Chu Yuan and handed over the branch in his hand.

"Here, take this branch."

Chu Yuan took the branch suspiciously, but before he could speak, Chen Xiao continued: "In your hands, this branch is just a simple branch. Of course, with your speed and strength, this branch can also become very powerful."

"But if I ask you to cut down this big tree with the branches in your hands, can you do it?"

Chu Yuan looked at a towering tree in front of him.

Chu Yuan was startled, with an unnatural expression on his face. Even with the blessing of Qianlong Dao, he would never be able to cut down the towering tree in front of him with the branches in his hands.

"Senior, no!"

Chen Xiao smiled lightly and said: "What if I ask you to use the reverse scale? Can you cut it off?"

Chu Yuan frowned and said softly: "That might be okay."

Chen Xiao took a step back and signaled for Chu Yuan to take action.

The next second, Chu Yuan held Ni Lin in his hand, and his whole body burst into bright glow, and a vast sword intent shot straight into the sky.

"Green Lotus Sword Technique, Netherworld!"

Following Chu Yuan's loud shout, a magnificent sword energy suddenly swung out and hit the towering tree hard.

The movements are simple and clear, without any flashy moves.

The fierce sword intent enveloped the entire audience.

boom!

There was a loud noise and thick dust was raised on the field.

The dust gradually dispersed, Chu Yuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and even Zhu Liuying and Yan Ke behind him looked a little incredulous.

I saw a deep sword mark on the towering tree.

Although there were sword marks, the roots were not damaged.

"how come?"

Chu Yuan murmured. He thought that his full blow could cut off the towering tree, but he didn't expect that it would only leave a sword mark on the surface.

However, instead of being hit, Chu Yuan looked at Chen Xiao with burning eyes.

He finally understood why Chen Xiao said that he was not even a beginner in kendo!

"If it were a senior, this big tree would have been chopped off long ago."

Chu Yuan stared at Chen Xiao, who picked up a branch casually.

hum!

Buzz! !

A bright ray of light illuminated the entire void. Chu Yuan only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and a cold light flashed before his eyes. He didn't even see Chen Xiao's movements clearly.

Immediately afterwards, the towering tree in front of Chu Yuan fell down.

hiss.

Seeing this, even Chu Yuan couldn't help but take a deep breath, his eyes filled with shock!

"Now, do you understand?"

Chen Xiao looked at Chu Yuan. Although he wanted to give Chu Yuan some advice, this kind of thing could only be understood but not expressed.

Even if he tells Chu Yuan what he knows, the latter may not be able to understand.

As the saying goes, the master leads you in, and cultivation depends on the individual.

Whether Chu Yuan can understand the way of swordsmanship depends on his own destiny.

Hearing this, Chu Yuan's eyes flashed with brilliance, and images of Chen Xiao taking action kept popping up in his mind.

It was clear that what Chen Xiao was holding was just an ordinary branch, but at that moment, Chu Yuan felt an extremely sharp aura, like a sharp sword that could cut everything, which made people feel heart-stopping.

What is a sword?

Chu Yuan frowned, subconsciously looking at the broken sword Ni Lin in his hand, and then at the branch in the other hand.

A moment of silence.

Chu Yuan woke up suddenly, feeling like he was in a state of ecstasy.

"Senior, I understand!"

Chu Yuan stared at Chen Xiao with burning eyes.

At this moment, he truly understood.

"Then what's your answer?" Chen Xiao said with a half-smile, a hint of appreciation flashing in his deep eyes.

Chu Yuan raised the broken sword Ni Lin in his hand and said, "It's a sword."

Immediately, Chu Yuan raised the branch in his other hand and said, "It is also a sword."

The words fell.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Chen Xiao's mouth.

"Ruzi can be taught!"

In an instant, a rush of sword intent surged out of Chu Yuan's body, and Chu Yuan's whole body bloomed with a faint glow. Although his strength did not change at all, earth-shaking changes took place in his swordsmanship.

Feeling the powerful power in his body, Chu Yuan felt the difference and said: "Senior, this..."

Chen Xiao smiled and said: "Now your swordsmanship can be considered a real introduction."

Getting started with Kendo?

Chu Yuan was immediately overjoyed, bowed ninety degrees towards Chen Xiao and said, "Thank you, senior!"

In the past, Chu Yuan always felt that he lacked a handy weapon. If he had a sharp sword, his strength would be greatly improved.

However, Chu Yuan understood at this moment.

A sword, just a sword.

No matter what kind of sword it is, whether it is stronger or not depends not on the sword itself, but on the strength of the person holding the sword!

Just like the branch in his hand, if it were in the hands of senior Chen Xiao, it would be a sharp sword capable of cutting anything, but in his own hand, it would be just an ordinary branch.

The branches are all the same, but they can produce different endings.

The same goes for swords.

"You still have a long way to go in the future. Although you are getting started with swordsmanship, you still have sword power, sword intention, etc. in the future."

"Whenever you reach the third level of swordsmanship, you will be invincible in this world." Chen Xiao said calmly.

Third level swordsmanship?

As soon as these words came out, Chu Yuan asked curiously: "Senior, are there levels in the way of swordsmanship?"

Chen Xiao said: "Of course, there are nine levels of swordsmanship, and each level is a watershed. You are only in the early stage of the first level of swordsmanship."

First grade?

Chu Yuan nodded thoughtfully, he was not surprised by this result.

But the next second, Chu Yuan seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Chen Xiao with a slightly strange expression and said, "Senior, can I ask what level of swordsmanship Gai Nie has?"

The reason why he asked this was that Chu Yuan wanted to know the gap between himself and Gai Nie.

Hearing this, Chen Xiao couldn't help but be startled, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, showing a smile, and said: "Do you really want to know?"

Chu Yuan nodded without hesitation and said: "Well, as the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will be victorious in any battle. I know Gai Nie's strength and can make adequate preparations in advance."

"Well, that makes some sense."

Chen Xiao smiled half-heartedly and said: "When he was in Longling Continent, Gai Nie was already at the peak of the ninth-grade swordsmanship. Now that so many years have passed, his swordsmanship should be at the peak of perfection."

Peak Dzogchen?

For some reason, just hearing this name made Chu Yuan feel awesome.

"Senior, how powerful is Dzogchen, the pinnacle of swordsmanship?" Chu Yuan asked tentatively.

Chen Xiao thought for a while and then said: "For now, if ten thousand of you were to deal with Gai Nie, he would kill you like a chicken."
