Fusang Sword Heart Diagram

Chapter 88 The Division of Sword Dao Realms

Ning Fusang had just come out of Yunling Valley when she slightly raised her eyes and saw someone waiting for her.

The woman looked very young, dressed in the robes of an inner disciple, with a smooth face that radiated a soft glow, just like fine Hetian jade.

She asked with a smile, "Junior Sister Ning, may I speak to you in private?"

Ning Fusang had never seen the woman before. After thinking for a moment, she guessed the woman's identity.

Wen Baoxi's cousin, Wenxin.

She was waiting for him here, most likely because of Wen Baoxi's matter.

Ning Fusang lifted her eyelids slightly and said calmly, "Okay."

The two walked out of the valley.

Wen Xin said, "In our Wen family, women are more numerous than men. In this generation, Bao Xi is the only male. He is spoiled by his elders, which has led to his arrogant and domineering nature. He has offended Junior Sister Ning in some way, so I apologize to Junior Sister Ning on his behalf."

Ning Fusang smiled as she looked at the storage bag that Wen Xin had stuffed into her hands, and said, "Wen Baoxi only cut in line with me, so Senior Sister Wen Xin's apology is a bit too much."

"And Senior Sister Wenxin should also know that I hit Wen Baoxi."

His palms were bleeding.

Ning Fusang thought she would wait for Wen Baoxi's backer to come looking for trouble, but unexpectedly, the other party sent a generous gift to apologize.

With a serious look in her eyes, Wen Xin said, "It's better to resolve conflicts than to create them. Within the sect, offending a direct disciple is not a wise move."

"Junior Sister Ning is exceptionally talented and surely understands the implications. Although I am a direct disciple, Master has more than one disciple under his command. I do not wish to trouble Master with my personal matters."

"Moreover, the inner sect is busy with training and has heavy tasks. How could I possibly have the energy to look after him all the time?"

Wen Xin spoke frankly and openly: "To tell Junior Sister Ning the truth, taking care of Wen Baoxi was at the request of the clan. Wen Baoxi used my name to bully others, which was not my intention."

"This storage bag was partly my idea, but actually, it was my cousin Bao Xi who asked me to give it to Junior Sister Ning."

Wenxin didn't know why her usually arrogant younger brother was swallowing his pride and grievances this time.

However, Wen Baoxi also knows when to back down, an attitude that Wen Xin finds satisfactory.

The instructor for this year's new disciples is too gentle. Wen Xin was originally worried that Wen Baoxi had been having too smooth sailing in the outer sect and had lost sight of himself. At this time, suffering some losses would actually be a blessing.

Ning Fusang then accepted the storage bag, meaning he agreed to turn hostility into friendship.

Wen Xin smiled gently: "Then I won't take up any more of Junior Sister Ning's time."

Ning Fusang said casually, "Take care, Senior Sister."

After returning to Tianxin Peak, Ning Fusang sat on the swing under the pear tree and opened her storage bag to check.

Wen Xin and Wen Baoxi were quite generous; this storage bag contained five hundred spirit stones and some trinkets.

The Wen family was originally just an ordinary cultivation family. Three years ago, when the news that Wen Xin had become a direct disciple of the Southern Star Sword Sect spread back, the Wen family's status in that area rose rapidly, and they developed quickly, accumulating a certain foundation.

With the backing of her family and cousin, Wen Baoxi naturally became arrogant. Not long after joining the sect, she had already taken on two followers.

Unfortunately, he ran into Ning Fusang, a tough nut to crack.

When Wen Baoxi went to the Sword-Asking Platform to see the traces left from the sword-asking contest years ago, he knew he had kicked a hornet's nest.

He dreamed every day that he was on the Sword-Asking Platform, and a flash of sword light separated his head from his body.

Even after waking from the dream, Wen Baoxi was still shaken. She begged her cousin to make peace with Ning Fusang and leave each other alone. He was in the outer sect, while Ning Fusang was in the inner sect; they rarely had the chance to meet. Wen Baoxi just wanted peace of mind.

Ning Fusang put away the storage bag, finding it amusing.

She wasn't one to hold grudges to that extent. Wen Baoxi cut in line, and she hit her on the spot, but that was the end of it.

Even though Wen Baoxi threatened to teach her a lesson, Ning Fusang wouldn't stoop to his level as long as he hadn't actually done it.

"But getting five hundred spirit stones for free is fine too."

Ning Fusang muttered to himself, then took out the stone and tried to dismantle the restrictions on it.

The Southern Star Sword Sect is a sword-wielding sect, and few people there are skilled in enchantments. The sect's library also doesn't have many books on this subject, so Ning Fusang has to figure it out on her own.

But she doesn't have much talent in this area, so she just treats it as a hobby.

Ning Fusang thought that perhaps she would go to the black market next time to see if anyone could solve the problem.

The second day of kendo class.

The teacher was a woman named Dai Fengyin.

After introducing herself, she took out a black iron sword, carried it on her back, paced back and forth, and looked at everyone, saying: "When you were in the outer sect, you all learned the basic sword moves: point, thrust, intercept, flick, cloud, hang, wipe, and slice. I will not go into detail again, as you all know them."

"Today's lesson is called Kendo, not swordsmanship."

"Swordsmanship refers to the skills and methods of using a sword, and the sword moves mentioned above fall into this category."

"And the way of the sword, like our cultivation, has different levels."

"Generally speaking, cultivators divide swordsmanship into five realms: sword momentum, sword energy, sword radiance, sword aura, and sword intent."

Just as everyone nodded, Dai Fengyin changed the subject, her tone becoming slightly stern:

"In fact, this classification is not accurate. What is sword momentum? Momentum is the spirit and spirit. Sword momentum refers to the spirit and spirit displayed by the swordsman through the changes in sword moves, or the movement of the sword."

"Descriptions of swordplay include sharp, fierce, light, and graceful, which are subjective feelings."

"The same person wielding a sword, some people see the sword's momentum as thunderous and awe-inspiring, while I feel that the opponent's sword momentum is weak and powerless. What should I say?"

Dai Fengyin gave everyone some time to think before continuing, "As I said before, sword moves belong to the category of swordsmanship, while sword momentum is the momentum expressed through changes in sword moves. Therefore, sword momentum should not be classified as part of the way of the sword."

"The division of sword realms only includes sword qi, sword light, sword aura, and sword intent."

Dai Fengyin then explained what sword energy was. She first asked everyone a question: Can air currents harm people?

Without a second thought, Shen Tu Lei replied, "In response to your question, Master, air currents can indeed harm people."

Dai Fengyin gestured for him to continue.

Shen Tu Lei spoke eloquently: "If the impact force of the airflow is strong enough and the speed is fast enough, it is no different from a sword, and can penetrate a person's body, leaving a hole."

Dai Fengyin nodded, looked at everyone, and said, "Air currents can harm people, but in our environment, the air currents are very slow and do not reach the point of harming people."

"So where does this harmful airflow come from?"

"Next, I'm going to talk about the Sword Qi Realm. As you all know, when we wield a sword, we create air currents. When these currents are fast enough, they can injure people."

"Sword cultivators use swords to alter the movement, speed, and direction of airflow, achieving a level that can injure the enemy, thus entering the Sword Qi Realm."
