The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 17 The Secret of Sword Practice

An hour later, Yue Buqun came back with several packages of clothes.

After regulating their breathing, everyone changed into new clothes, and the decadence and embarrassment on their bodies were finally alleviated a lot!
Yue Buqun discussed with Ning Zhongze and his wife and decided to take his disciples back to the city to rest for a few days. As for the follow-up of investigating the bandits in Qinglan Mountain, it would be done by the two of them.

Now that Xu Xingchen is a special little guy among the disciples, the couple can temporarily leave with peace of mind and act together!

On the way back, the atmosphere became very lively.

This was the first time that the disciples experienced such a large-scale battle. No matter how embarrassed and frightened they were during the fight, now it all became the talk of the victors.

The fellow disciples were joking and teasing each other, and many of them had a look of fear on their faces!

Yue Lingshan was the first to lose patience and asked, "Junior brother, how did you become so powerful in Huashan swordsmanship? Do you have any tricks?"

Xu Xingchen began his performance, pretending to be surprised: "Everyone practices swordsmanship, doesn't everyone have their own tricks?"

"Everyone has their own sword-fighting tips?" Yue Lingshan thought carefully about how she was just constantly familiarizing herself with sword techniques. She couldn't think of any tips in it. She was just practicing hard and persevering. She pouted and said, "Our sword-fighting tips are definitely not as useful as yours, little junior brother. Please tell us about them!"

"Oh fine!"

Xu Xingchen did not hide anything and described his sword training methods one by one, such as practicing sword on the cliff to improve courage and stability, swinging a "heavy" sword to integrate strength of muscles and bones, rolling and jumping on the rope to control body movements and steps, and piercing candles, incense sticks and needles in the dark room to practice accuracy. In the process of narration, he explained the effects of each sword training method.
This period of teaching by words and deeds lasted for half an hour. The eyes of all the senior brothers and sister Yue Lingshan lit up and their hearts were excited. They felt as if they had obtained the secret manual of superior martial arts. It was so refreshing and their horizons were broadened.

Everyone secretly thought in their hearts that if they practiced sword skills according to their junior brother's sword-training tips, they would be able to improve their sword skills to a very high level in a short period of time.

Ning Zhongze praised directly: "Xingchen, you have been smart since you were young, you have ideas and understanding, and you can actually come up with so many different sword-training tricks!"

Xu Xingchen said seriously: "Master's Wife, although I have some sword-training tricks, my brothers should also have their own sword-training tricks."

After that, he looked at Linghu Chong and said, "For example, the swordsmanship used by Senior Brother after drinking is more spiritual than that of normal swordsmanship. I think Senior Brother's swordsmanship skills should be related to wine!"

After hearing this, Linghu Chong's face turned red. He did feel that after drinking, he would have more wonderful ideas in his mind and his sword skills would improve faster than usual. But in fact, he just liked drinking. Where was the trick? !

Xu Xingchen looked at Lu Dayou again: "For example, Senior Brother Six, you usually like to go see monkeys and play with them. Senior Brother Six's sword-fighting skills should be acquired during the process of playing with monkeys."

Everyone's eyes turned to Lu Dayou, making him blush and look like a monkey's butt. He knew in his heart that he just liked monkeys. How could he have thought of practicing swordplay while playing with monkeys? Is this something that ordinary people can imagine? !
When Xu Xingchen looked at the other brothers, the remaining brothers looked around, coughed, or murmured, with an expression of avoiding the question, for fear that they would be named as the next target by the younger brother.

They knew the eldest brother and the sixth brother well, so how could they not know that drinking and watching monkeys were just their hobbies, and had nothing to do with the secrets of sword practice?!

If their interests and hobbies were also regarded as their own sword-making secrets by their junior brother and were spoken out in public, the scene would surely be extremely embarrassing!

Seeing this, Xu Xingchen gave up the idea of continuing to call out names and said, "Master's wife, in my opinion, when it comes to sword training, everyone has their own way of training, and there is no need to compare with each other!"

Ning Zhongze looked around at the shy disciples around him, laughed, and said nothing more, just pointed out: "Xingchen, you are right. If you can use your interest as the key to practicing swordsmanship, it will be difficult not to become stronger in swordsmanship!"

Seeing that the matter of "hobbies" was finally revealed, the remaining brothers all breathed a sigh of relief, and began to think about the conversation between the junior brother and the master's wife. "Turn your hobbies into the tricks of sword practice."

"Junior Brother, has he become obsessed with swordsmanship to this extent?"

"There is a reason why Junior Brother's swordsmanship has been able to reach this level today."

"I just heard about Junior Brother's sword practice schedule. From morning to night, there is very little free time. In comparison, we only have two or three hours of sword practice every day. The rest of the time is either playing or sleeping. It's totally incomparable."

"Also, Junior Brother's hobby is to practice swordplay in various ways, but our hobbies are, well, let's not talk about them!"

Everyone's thoughts were surging, and various ideas popped up like mushrooms after a rain. They were all thinking about how to combine their interests and hobbies with their daily sword and martial arts practice. At the same time, they were also reflecting on whether they were too lazy and slack in their daily lives.

Yue Lingshan only thought for a moment, then quickly came to her senses and continued to pester Xu Xingchen, impatiently asking, "Junior brother, if we practice swordplay according to your method, can we also practice swordplay as beautifully as you do? So elegant! So beautiful!"

The other brothers also turned to look. They had all seen their junior brother perform the Huashan swordsmanship on the battlefield. The sword moves were so familiar, but they exuded a completely different style. They were both pleasing to the eye and incredibly powerful. At that time, they were all shocked.

This time, without waiting for Xu Xingchen to answer, Yue Buqun, who had been listening silently for a long time, spoke.

"Don't aim too high. The various sword-training tips Xingchen just mentioned are enough to lay a solid foundation for your swordsmanship. But if you want to reach the level of your junior brother now, it depends entirely on your luck!"

The disciples were puzzled, and Yue Lingshan asked directly: "Why? Dad!"

Yue Buqun looked at Xu Xingchen as if he was looking at a little monster. Although this youngest disciple had shocked him a few years ago, considering his achievements in swordsmanship today, he still felt that his little disciple was an absolute monster.

More talented than a genius, what else could he be but a monster?!

He explained: "Xingchen has practiced the Huashan sword technique to perfection and has brought out the charm of the Huashan sword technique!"

After a pause, looking at the curious eyes of the disciples around him, he shook his head and sighed, "Neither this master nor your master's wife has reached this level!"

"what!"

"how is this possible?"

"My guess turned out to be correct!"

The disciples all cried out in surprise, their faces full of emotions, all kinds of surprise, looking at the little junior brother, and they added a layer of filter: "The little junior brother is indeed a rare genius, even better than the master and the mistress!"

Ning Zhongze smiled and added: "In fact, let alone us, even among our Huashan Sect's ancestors, there are only a few who can practice Huashan swordsmanship with divine charm."

　Thank you all for collecting, following and recommending!
