The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 70: Instructing the Senior Brothers and Teaching According to Their Aptitude

Chapter 70: Instructing the Senior Brothers and Teaching According to Their Aptitude
In the cave, the firelight is bright and jumping!
While eating and drinking soup, Xu Xingchen listened to Sixth Senior Brother telling him about recent events in the martial arts world.

He sighed inwardly, "It was right to release Ren Woxing early. The world is really lively with him around!"

After chatting for a while, when Xu Xingchen had eaten his fill, Lu Dayou finally said, "Junior brother, I beg you for a favor!"

While Xu Xingchen was clearing the dishes, he smiled and said, "Sixth Senior Brother, tell me. If I can help, I will definitely help you!"

Lu Dayou said frankly: "Junior brother, although I have learned some sword-training methods from the monkey, I know my own sword-training methods are full of flaws and common, so I want my junior brother to help me study and improve them!"

After that, without waiting for Xu Xingchen to speak, he said sincerely: "Junior brother, you are extremely intelligent and extraordinary. With your help, I think my swordsmanship will definitely be able to improve. Even if I can't compare to my senior brother who learned the Dugu Nine Swords from Uncle Feng, it's still okay."

After hearing these words, Xu Xingchen thought to himself, "Well, Sixth Senior Brother, you have the best relationship with the First Senior Brother, but now you are also so upset. It seems that the First Senior Brother has brought a lot of pressure to the other Senior Brothers!"

"Sixth Senior Brother, you are too kind. I just like reading books, so I think a little more than you do." Xu Xingchen said modestly, "However, since it is Sixth Senior Brother's request, I will definitely do my best!"

Lu Dayou said happily: "I knew that Junior Brother would not reject me."

The two men came out of the cave, and Lu Dayou once again performed the sword skills that he said he learned from the monkey in front of Xu Xingchen.

Jumping up and down, scratching his ears.
In the monkey-like movements, the long sword in his hand moved east, west, south, and north, slashing, stabbing, and chopping, still in the style of Huashan swordsmanship.
After he combined them like this, he looked more like a monkey than a human, and his swordsmanship was even more fragmented and painful.

".Sure enough, some people can only follow the rules and are unable to innovate."

Xu Xingchen had seen it once and was mentally prepared, but when he saw this "Monkey Sword" again, he still felt uncomfortable watching it.

When he saw Lu Dayou finishing his rehearsal with an expectant look on his face, he clapped his hands against his will, gave him a few words of praise with difficulty, and then began to give him instructions.

He punished evil and killed countless people in the martial arts world, so he met many martial artists.

Some villains had mediocre martial arts skills, so he would kill them with one stick; some villains had unique martial arts skills, so he would spar with them for a long time, and only kill them after seeing all the changes in their moves.

Once, he met three brothers in a mountain village. They were known as the "Three Evil Apes". Their notoriety was so great that their men had killed countless people. Children dared not cry, and travelers would stay away from them.

The three men practiced a martial art that was similar to that of a demon ape. Whether it was their body movements or their punches, kicks, and stick techniques, they were all fierce and violent, and extremely powerful.

Xu Xingchen fought with the three men for three hundred rounds, and saw all their martial arts skills before he sent them off with satisfaction.

Now, it is a good opportunity to modify the martial arts of the three brothers and pass them on to the sixth senior brother Lu Dayou.

He had received exam-oriented education in his previous life, and liked to explain complicated things in the most understandable language so that the listeners could quickly understand and remember them.

Xu Xingchen thought that every word he explained should be easily understood by the Sixth Senior Brother, but
In fact, it is.
Every time he explained a sentence, Lu Dayou would think for a while, then stand up half-understanding and half-confused, follow his explanation, practice several times, and finally find the feeling, and said happily: "So that's it!"

This was still a relatively good situation. Many times, Lu Dayou thought about it for a long time, practiced for a long time, but was still confused and unable to understand.
After telling a total of seven sentences, Xu Xingchen saw that Lu Dayou's eyes began to become dazed, and he hurriedly said: "Sixth Brother, you can't rush into practicing martial arts. Brother, go back and practice well, and you should be able to find the feeling soon!"

"Oh! Oh!" Lu Dayou nodded in agreement, "Little Junior Brother, what you said is very true. When we brothers and sisters followed our master to learn swordsmanship, we only practiced three or four sword techniques a day. It took us a full month to learn the most basic Huashan swordsmanship without any mistakes!"

"I have memorized what Junior Brother said. I will practice it a few more times after I go back, and I should be able to understand it!"

"Once I have learned these few moves, I will come to you, my junior brother, to discuss the remaining moves."

Xu Xingchen smiled and said, "Okay, but, Sixth Senior Brother, please bring some food to me next time you come. I enjoyed the meal today!"

Watching Lu Dayou's back going down the mountain, Xu Xingchen slowly put away the smile on his face, turning it into a helpless sigh.

"Uncle Feng, I understand that you are getting old. If you hadn't met a talented successor like my senior brother, your Dugu Nine Swords would have been lost."

He finally figured it out. Just like people cannot share the same sorrows and joys, the differences between people in certain aspects can actually be so huge.

If Feng Qingyang taught the Dugu Nine Swords to Lu Dayou, even if Lu Dayou memorized all the formulas and techniques through rote learning for a long time, it would still be extremely difficult for him to understand the contents.

I am afraid that in my entire life, I will never be able to even step into the threshold of Dugu Nine Swords.

It only took Linghu Chong two or three times to memorize the formula of Dugu Nine Swords, and it took him only a dozen days to master it.
Just like Xu Xingchen, when he was outside the West Lake dungeon, he only heard Ren Woxing describe the Star Absorbing Technique once, and he memorized it.
The arrival of Senior Brother Liu Lu Dayou seemed to be a signal. A few days later, Senior Brother Shi Daizi also came up the mountain with a food box. After chatting for a long time, he inadvertently mentioned that Senior Brother Six had been instructed by Xu Xingchen. The meaning behind his words was obvious.

Xu Xingchen did not refuse and also gave him some advice.

Fourth Senior Brother’s personality is such that he likes to take unconventional approaches with his sword and seek victory in dangerous situations. It’s better not to mention his modified Xiyi sword technique!

Xu Xingchen suggested that he could try using both the long and short swords, with the long sword in his right hand used for normal attacks and the short sword in his left hand ready to strike when the opportunity arises.

After receiving the same seven or eight instructions, Shi Daizi went down the mountain half confused and half happy.

The third one to come up was fifth senior brother Gao Genming.

His swordsmanship was assisted by hidden weapons, and the whistling sounds of the abacus beads were quite unique. However, both the method of launching the hidden weapons and the coordination between the hidden weapons and swordsmanship were unsatisfactory.

Xu Xingchen taught Brother Five several techniques for launching hidden weapons, which were secretive and fast, enough for him to practice for a while.
The fourth person to come was Yue Lingshan, who went up the mountain with her senior brother Linghu Chong.

The three of them chatted in the cave for a while, and Yue Lingshan couldn't wait any longer, so she pestered Xu Xingchen and asked him to teach her some of his unique skills.

Taking into account the fact that Yue Lingshan is a woman and her arm strength is weaker than that of a man, Xu Xingchen decided to start with speed and agility.

He decomposed and recombined several sword techniques on Mount Hua, just like Master Ning Zhongze's "Unparalleled, Ning Style Sword", and summarized several unique moves for her to practice.

Those few unique moves, which were unexpected and innovative, could help Yue Lingshan turn defeat into victory in critical moments if she encountered a strong enemy!

Even Linghu Chong was amazed when he saw it.

Liang Fa, the taciturn third brother, looked a little embarrassed after coming up the mountain with the food box, but he finally spoke out.

Xu Xingchen didn't have any good suggestions for his third senior brother who preferred defense over offense. In the end, he disassembled a few sword techniques from the Huashan sword technique that combined offense and defense and taught them to his third senior brother, just like he had taught his seventh senior sister Yue Lingshan.

Unexpectedly, the third brother Liang Fa turned out to be a reserved person. He memorized ten moves and then went down the mountain with a lot of gains.

The last senior brother to go up the mountain was Eighth Senior Brother Ying Bailuo!

He is about the same age as Xu Xingchen. He seems a little introverted and shy in front of strangers, but he appears much more lively in front of acquaintances.

His swordsmanship was standard, with both offensive and defensive capabilities, but he practiced diligently, and based on the various sword-training techniques taught by Xu Xingchen, he laid a very solid foundation.

Xu Xingchen treated him just like he did with his third senior brother and seventh senior sister, breaking down several useful skills and letting him practice.

Xu Xingchen takes advantage of the situation and teaches students according to their aptitude. The skills he imparts to each person are the most suitable for their own use. If others learn them, no matter how proficient they are, there will always be some shortcomings.

When ordinary people are thinking about something, they hate being interrupted the most!

Xu Xingchen, on the other hand, would not do that.
He easily gets into a state of obsession in his research, and his behavior of neglecting sleep and food is highly undesirable.

Several senior brothers would take turns going up the mountain to ask for advice every few days, which helped him break away from his obsessive research state.

Chat with the brothers and learn about the latest happenings in the world.
Just because the disciples of Huashan Sect don't go down the mountain doesn't mean their servants won't go down either; every time they go down the mountain, they can bring back some news so that the people on the mountain can keep abreast of the latest developments in the martial arts world.

At the same time, instructing every senior brother in their cultivation is also a way to rest his brain. Perhaps he will have a flash of inspiration and learn something new by analogy.

What's more, the time between the brothers is very long.
Sixth Senior Brother Lu Dayou climbed the mountain again a month later. He said with a proud and excited look on his face: "Junior Brother, I have learned the few moves you taught me. They are indeed exquisite and far better than the juggling tricks I created myself!"

Faced with Sixth Senior Brother's boasting and self-mockery, Xu Xingchen could only laugh and congratulate him a few words, while also praising the other party for his intelligence and amazing comprehension!
Lu Dayou spoke modestly, but looking at the smile on his face, it was obvious that he was very pleased.

After practicing those moves in front of his junior fellow apprentice, receiving some corrections and a few more instructions, Lu Dayou went down the mountain feeling very satisfied.

That night, Xu Xingchen had a dream
