Martial Arts: After ten years of sword-drawing, the Sword God must bow his head when he sees me

Chapter 195 Glazed Sword Style
True energy was once again injected into the glass sword through Shen Ping'an's hand.

Soon, as true energy filled the glass sword, a layer of fluorescence once again appeared on its surface.

The longsword began to resonate with a sword-singing sound, accompanied by a slight sonic wave.

However, these sound waves dissipated as soon as they were emitted without being manipulated by anyone.

As the sword rang out, Shen Ping'an carefully sensed the changes after his true energy entered the Glazed Sword.

A moment later, as Shen Ping'an circulated his true energy, he also figured out the internal structure of the glass sword.

Unlike ordinary sword blades.

Because of the material of this glass sword, in addition to the sharpness and hardness unique to weapons, it also has some tiny gaps inside that resemble a honeycomb.

When true energy is injected into it, the existence of these gaps causes the glass sword to automatically carry the effect of sound waves.

Then, Shen Ping'an turned his attention to the small seal script engraved on the surface of the glass sword.

When Shen Ping'an finished reading all the information recorded on both sides of the Glazed Sword, a system notification popped up in front of him.

[Ding! Detected a low-grade Heaven-rank sword technique, "Glazed Sword Style." Would you like to learn it?]

"study!"

As soon as Shen Ping'an had a thought, the system notifications popped up in front of him one after another.

[Ding, the host's comprehension level has been detected to have reached "One in a Million". The mastery level of this martial art has automatically been raised to the "Master" level.]

[Ding! It has been detected that the host's current sword cultivation has reached the fifth level of swordsmanship, the Earth Sword Realm. With the bonus of sword realm, the mastery level of this sword technique will automatically increase to the "Comprehensive Understanding" level.]

"Ok?"

Seeing the second system notification message pop up in front of him, Shen Ping'an raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling a bit surprised.

But soon, Shen Ping'an's surprise turned into relief.

As a swordsman's swordsmanship improves, his mastery of swordsmanship and sword techniques naturally increases as well.

Just as a talented scholar who has already achieved the highest rank in the imperial examinations will immediately understand the Three Character Classic when he turns to look at it again.

Shen Ping'an's swordsmanship has now reached the fourth realm.

Leaving aside other martial arts, the same state applies to swordsmanship.

These low-grade Heaven-rank martial arts techniques only require a few readings to grasp the basic principles of swordsmanship.

If Shen Ping'an's sword cultivation can reach the Heavenly Sword Realm, the fifth realm of swordsmanship.

Even without the system's enhancement, Shen Ping'an only needs a few days to master ordinary low-grade Heaven-rank martial arts or even mid-grade Heaven-rank martial arts to the level of "perfect and smooth".

The system's bonus, while unexpected, was also reasonable.

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Shen Ping'an's consciousness was quickly drawn to the familiar peak of the sea of ​​clouds.

Gradually, as Shen Ping'an's understanding of the third form of the "Eight Forms of Famous Swords," the "Glassy Sword Form," deepened, some hidden meridians or channels in Shen Ping'an's body that he had never encountered before were opened up.

The true energy also circulated within his body along a unique route before beginning to gather into the glass sword he held in his hand.

As a large amount of true energy surged into the glass sword, the entire glass sword no longer had only a faint fluorescent glow on its surface, as Shen Ping'an had done in his initial experiment.

Instead, the entire sword lit up like a lantern.

The golden hue made the glass sword appear even more translucent.

At the same time, visible, crescent-shaped sonic waves began to emerge from the glass sword and then gathered around Shen Ping'an, so that within a three-zhang radius around Shen Ping'an, he was surrounded by these golden sonic blades.

The commotion on Shen Ping'an's side quickly alerted the other people in the house.

Zhang San Niang and Yao Yue, who were closest to the garden, rushed into the courtyard almost the instant they sensed the increasingly loud sonic blades.

When they saw Shen Ping'an meditating with his eyes closed, a knowing look flashed in their eyes. Then, they moved swiftly, maintaining a certain distance from Shen Ping'an while protecting him from being disturbed.

Almost as soon as the group had positioned themselves to protect Shen Ping'an in the center, several figures quickly approached from one side of the garden.

The person leading the group was none other than the member of the Azure Dragon Society who wore a mask with blood-patterned markings.

However, as the group approached, upon seeing Shen Ping'an standing in the garden with his sword drawn and his eyes slightly closed, as well as Yao Yue and the others who were looking at him coldly, the man wearing the blood-patterned mask immediately raised his hand to signal the others around him to stop.

After giving a slight bow to Yaoyue and the others, he left with the rest of the group.

Only then did Yaoyue and the others turn their attention to Shen Ping'an, who had his eyes closed.

A quarter of an hour later, amidst the vigilance of Yaoyue and the others, Shen Ping'an's internal energy suddenly surged faster.

"buzzing"

As the true energy within Shen Ping'an intensified its circulation, the glass sword that was originally held in Shen Ping'an's hand rose from his hand and hovered in front of him, its radiance so intense that it seemed to faintly outshine the brightness of the sun.

At the same time, a sword shadow, about an inch long, quietly emerged from Shen Ping'an's body and hovered in front of him.

A large amount of true energy poured out from Shen Ping'an's body and quickly entered the sword shadow. With the influx of true energy, the sword shadow, which was originally only an inch long, grew longer in the wind until it reached three feet and five inches before stopping.

It was also during this moment, with the sword shadow suspended in the air, that Zhang San Niang and the others quickly realized that although the sword shadow condensed by Shen Ping An was formed from the pure white true energy within Shen Ping An's body, it was extremely solid.

Even when its true energy circulated, the patterns on the sword shadow were exactly the same as those on the glass sword next to it.

"Buzz!"

Just then, the newly formed sword shadow trembled slightly, and a loud sword cry echoed as the sword shadow instantly dispersed, turning into thousands of sound threads that fell to the ground.

When the sound thread touched the ground, it instantly produced a series of booming sounds, and dust flew up in an instant.

For a moment, even Zhang San Niang and Yao Yue couldn't see what was happening inside the arena.

As soon as the smoke cleared, the group looked up and saw that the ground within a three-zhang radius of Shen Ping'an had sunk by about one zhang.

Only the foot-long spot where Shen Ping'an stood remained unharmed.

Furthermore, the surrounding deep pits were riddled with holes.

At the same time, Shen Ping'an also successfully mastered the "Glassy Sword Style" to the point of "comprehensive understanding".

The true energy gradually subsided, and the glass sword that had been hovering in the air returned to Shen Ping'an's hand.

After glancing around, Shen Ping'an took a step forward, and with a burst of sword energy, he instantly flashed to a flat grassy area three zhang away.

Seeing this, the others then approached Shen Ping'an.

Zhang Sanniang's gaze first swept over the deep pit riddled with holes beside her, then glanced at the glass sword in Shen Ping'an's hand. She asked, "What you were practicing just now was the 'Eight Styles of Famous Swords' on this glass sword?"

Shen Ping'an nodded in acknowledgment.

He then raised his hand to look at the glass sword in his hand, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"As expected of the top power that once overshadowed the Divine Sword Manor, the 'Eight Styles of Famous Swords' has its own unique features."

If someone were to observe Shen Ping'an's body at this moment, they would surely discover that there is a sword shadow inside Shen Ping'an's Qihai acupoint.

Although the sword shadow was black and white, its shape and patterns were exactly the same as the glass sword that was slowly moving around Shen Ping'an in front of him.

It's just that it's shrunk by more than ten times in size, becoming extremely miniature.

The feeling was as if Shen Ping'an had gathered his true energy and replicated the Glazed Sword into his own body.

With Shen Ping'an's current mastery of the "Glassy Sword Style," he has already grasped its core principles.

It is different from all the martial arts that Shen Ping'an has encountered before and now.

Previously, the martial arts that Shen Ping'an had come into contact with all involved using the eight extraordinary meridians and the hidden meridians in his own body to make his internal energy circulate along special routes before being combined with the moves.

But this "Glassy Sword Style" is different.

Those who cultivate the "Glassy Sword Style" need to use their true qi in conjunction with the special moves of the "Glassy Sword Style" during practice to allow the true qi to circulate within their body, while also using observation methods to condense a sword shadow within their body.

After that, he continued to refine the sword shadow within his body, making it more solid.

This allows one to later use true qi to activate the sword shadow and unleash sword techniques.

The principle behind it is quite similar to that of the sword spirit that Shen Ping'an condensed within his body.

Moreover, based on Shen Ping'an's analysis of this martial art, apart from the "Glassy Sword Style," the other styles of the "Eight Styles of Famous Swords" should also require the practitioner to condense a unique sword shadow within their body.

They can even use their inner energy to merge the sword shadows, thus making their martial arts even more powerful.

When one can comprehend the eighth move and simultaneously mobilize the eight sword shadows within the body, achieving the simultaneous flight of the eight swords as one, the power can be maximized.

This is why the "Eight Styles of Famous Swords" are only low-grade Heaven-rank martial arts when separated, but when combined, their power can reach the level of high-grade Heaven-rank martial arts.

As Shen Ping'an explained the details of the "Glassy Sword Style," Zhang San Niang couldn't help but exclaim, "The ancestor who created the 'Eight Styles of Famous Swords' was indeed a genius, able to come up with such a unique martial art."

Shen Ping'an nodded.

The uniqueness of the "Glassy Sword Style" alone is enough to impress even Shen Ping'an.

However, although this method is unique, it is more difficult to cultivate than ordinary low-grade Heaven-rank martial arts.

Those who are not exceptionally perceptive may spend their entire lives learning the techniques but never truly mastering them, and thus be unable to unleash the full power of the "Eight Styles of Famous Swords".

Although it is only one of the martial arts techniques in "Eight Styles of Famous Swords".

However, the cultivation methods and unique martial arts principles also gave Shen Ping'an some insights.

Shen Ping'an was even able to use the martial arts theory of "Eight Styles of Famous Swords" to deduce the subsequent sword moves of "Ethereal Sword Technique".

This put Shen Ping'an in a good mood.

After glancing at the glass sword in his hand, Shen Ping'an looked at Qu Feiyan and Shen Qingshan.
