What a lucky world!

Chapter 81 Secret: Hiding behind the knife!
The gleaming sword lights in the courtyard of the Military Academy looked like blooming crabapples.

Even though they were at a distance, everyone could still feel the sharp energy that seemed to cut their skin.

Chop, chop, swing, lift, sweep, pull, stab... The long sword seemed to have a spirit, dancing vigorously in Lu Tianlu's hands, making the people watching around hold their breath and concentrate, not wanting to miss a single move.

The three realms of martial arts: minor success, major success, and perfection.

Small achievements are called skills, great achievements are called momentum, and perfection is called intention.

In the past one hundred and fifty years of the Shanzhai culture, there are many people who have achieved some success in martial arts, only one in a hundred can achieve great success, and only one in ten thousand can achieve perfection.

What was being demonstrated before their eyes now was almost perfect, a sword technique that could condense into sword energy. Even if they did not practice swordsmanship, they might be able to gain some insights from it, not to mention those disciples who were already practicing swordsmanship.

It was not until half a cup of tea later that Lu Tianlu finished practicing a set of hidden-edge sword techniques, and then he put away his sword and stood up.

Although Lu Tianlu was standing at the bottom of the stairs, he could still look Zhang Mu in the wheelchair at eye level. He sheathed the knife and looked at Zhang Mu: "Did you see anything?"

In an instant, everyone's focus fell on Zhang Mu again.

Zhang Mu smiled and said, "Brother Lu, your swordsmanship is really good!"

"It's no use trying to get close!" Huang Tianba said, "Can you spot the flaws in Senior Brother Lu's swordsmanship? If you can, we'll immediately consider you a half-master. If not, just admit your lack of understanding of the Shanzhai martial arts and stop misleading our students."

After hearing Huang Tianba's words, the disciples from the mountain stronghold who had received instruction from Zhang Mu before wanted to say a few fair words, but they were stopped by the people around them just as they were about to open their mouths.

There are smart people in the village. They can see at a glance that this is not a simple martial arts debate, and there is something deeper involved.

Zhang Mu raised his hand, pointed at Huang Tianba, and said casually: "Naughty!"

Without waiting for Huang Tianba to attack, Zhang Mu stood up from the wheelchair again, walked down the stairs, walked step by step to Lu Tianlu, and stretched out his hand: "Lend me your knife."

Lu Tianlu looked at Zhang Mu and handed his long sword to him, but Zhang Mu did not refuse it. Instead, he grasped the hilt, took a step back, and pulled out the long sword.

"Lü Tianlu, watch carefully."

"The Hidden Blade Technique is not practiced like that!"

As he spoke, Zhang Mu began to perform the Hidden Blade Sword Technique, but at an extremely slow speed.

"The hidden blade technique is all about hiding the blade!"

“The edge is not in the blade, but in the person!”

"This Hidden Edge Sword Technique is not an offensive sword technique, but a defensive sword technique!"

Zhang Mu demonstrated the Hidden Blade Technique move by move, without stopping to explain: "Every one of your moves is open and aboveboard, straightforward and direct. How can you hide it?"

“If you don’t hide, how can you accumulate strength?”

"If you don't accumulate momentum, then where does your sword power come from?"

"You seem to be just a hair's breadth away from mastering the swordsmanship, but this hair's breadth is a thousand miles away!"

Listening to Zhang Mu's words and watching Zhang Mu demonstrate his swordsmanship, Lu Tianlu suddenly felt as if a door in his mind was pushed open by Zhang Mu.

He could see that Zhang Mu's swordsmanship demonstration was not very proficient, and the connection between the moves was also very unfamiliar, which showed that Zhang Mu had never practiced the hidden-edge swordsmanship before.

However, Lu Tianlu could clearly feel a momentum slowly gathering around Zhang Mu.

At this time, Zhang Mu's demonstration was coming to an end.

Zhang Mu's aura suddenly surged, and he chopped down hard at a stone lock in front of him. With a "click" sound, the long sword seemed to carry unparalleled momentum and directly split the rock-polished stone lock into two halves, which immediately caused a burst of exclamations from the surroundings.

"Do you understand?" Zhang Mu turned around and looked at Lu Tianlu.

At this moment, when Lu Tianlu met Zhang Mu's eyes, he felt as if a long knife was pointing at him from a distance.

"Position!"

"He has knife power!"

Looking at Zhang Mu exuding the sword power he had always dreamed of, Lu Tianlu ignored his pride and took two steps forward, bowing and asking, "May I ask how to hide the blade?"

"Stupid!" Zhang Mu threw the long sword to Lu Tianlu and said, "Man is the sword. To hide the sword is to hide the man!"

"I'll give you four words!" "Hide the knife!"

Lu Tianlu was shocked and murmured, "Hiding behind the knife?"

He gently stroked the unsharpened blade with his hand.

After practicing martial arts for so many years, he has always paid attention to whether the blade is tough and whether the blade edge is sharp, but he has never paid attention to the existence of the blade back.

But now, thinking about Zhang Mu's words and stroking the back of the knife, Lu Tianlu suddenly felt his mind clear.

The next moment, he gripped the hilt tightly and swung the long sword again. But this time, he didn't seek speed or ruthlessness, but always hid himself behind the blade.

A momentum slowly gathered around Lu Tianlu.

"Tianba, Xiaowu, Nanfeng, come!" Lu Tianlu shouted, and Huang Tianba and several other young men immediately understood what he meant, drew their weapons and attacked Lu Tianlu.

But after only a few rounds, the sound of weapons clashing was heard, and then the weapons besieging Lu Tianlu were seen being cut off by long swords, and those young men were sent flying backwards one after another.

"Great!" Huang Tianba was the first to get up and exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Lu, your swordsmanship has reached great perfection!"

But then Huang Tianba reacted and suddenly closed his mouth.

For a moment, the Military Academy fell silent, and everyone's eyes fell on Zhang Mu.

Oh my goodness, he actually taught me how to use a sword to perfection!

Then can I go too?
Now that everything has been accomplished, what about perfection?
Everyone present's heart began to beat wildly.

Lu Tianlu was holding the long sword at this time, his expression extremely complicated. But after hesitating for a long time, he still took two steps towards Zhang Mu with the sword in hand, then bowed and said: "Thank you... Young Master!"

Huang Tianba:!!!∑(Дノ)ノ

Oh no, I’ve become a villain!

So, are you going to serve tea while standing upside down?

No! Senior Brother Lu has benefited from this and has to say this. I still have companions...

Huang Tianba looked at the other young men who had come with him. Just as he looked over, he saw one of them step forward, bowed to Zhang Mu, and said shyly, "Young leader, can you also give me some guidance..."

Huang Tianba: #￥%*&*￥%……

But at this moment, Lu Tianlu reached out to stop the person who was about to give instructions, and looked at Zhang Mu with shining eyes.

"Young Village Master..."

"No, call me Brother Mu..." Zhang Mu quickly interrupted Lu Tianlu, "You won't let me guide you to the perfection of swordsmanship, will you? I can't do that now..."

"No!" Lu Tianlu's face actually showed a trace of embarrassment, and he said, "I just saw you perform the Hidden Edge Sword Technique, and it has reached its peak."

"Then your own martial arts should have at least reached great perfection, right?"

"I want to... give it a try!"

"Nonsense!" Han Wanli stood up and said, "Didn't you see that Mu Ge'er's injuries just healed?"

"No, no, no, don't get me wrong!" Lu Tianlu forced a smile and said, "No internal energy will be used, only the moves will be tested."

"Please give me some advice!" Lu Tianlu bowed his head and bowed again.

Zhang Mu thought for a moment, then stood up and walked to the weapons rack. He took out a spear, weighed it in his hand, and said, "I'll only use one move!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Tianlu's face lit up with joy, and he immediately put up a sword rack. Recalling the feeling of comprehending the great sword technique just now, a sword force began to gather in his body.

Zhang Mu held his spear upside down, looked at Lu Tianlu, and said with a smile:

"I am coming!"

The next moment, a figure rushed towards Lu Tianlu, with a spear as fast as lightning, emitting bursts of dragon roars!
