The world of martial arts, the immortal swordsman in the mortal realm.

Chapter 4, Chapter 04: The Sword Intent of Immortal Slaying!
I don't know how long they practiced.

Huang Rong was already yawning, her eyes still heavy with sleep, but Lu Chen was still completely focused, practicing the "thrust" sword technique that Huang Rong had taught him, again and again.

Although his face was full of fatigue, and his sword strikes were not as swift and powerful as at the beginning, even though his arms were trembling slightly from exhaustion, he still tried his best to maintain precision with each thrust, striving to ensure that his sword-wielding posture did not become distorted due to fatigue.

This made Huang Rong admire his focus and perseverance.

However, she couldn't hold on any longer, covered her mouth with her hand, yawned, and said:

"Brother Lu, let's stop here. It's getting late, we should rest!"

Lu Chen then came to his senses, glanced at Huang Rong's tearful, drowsy appearance, and said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, I was so engrossed in my practice that I forgot the time. I've made Miss Huang tired."

As he spoke, it seemed as if he had just realized his condition, and he leaned on the wooden sword with both hands to support his exhausted body.

"fine."

Huang Rong waved her little hand dismissively:
"If you're going in the wrong direction, blindly practicing won't help. You'll only end up with laughable, terrible skills, and you might even ruin yourself. But if you have a wise teacher to guide you, then diligent practice is the right way to learn martial arts."

Although Huang Rong herself did not have the perseverance to practice diligently and only practiced martial arts sporadically, it did not prevent her from teaching Lu Chen in this way, thus highlighting her role as a "wise teacher".

Lu Chen, as expected, understood the implied meaning and thanked him sincerely:
"Thank you for your guidance, Miss Huang. If I become skilled in swordsmanship in the future, Miss Huang will be my mentor."

Huang Rong was secretly delighted, but on the surface she maintained a calm and composed demeanor, and said leisurely with her hands behind her back:

"Brother Lu, you're too kind. There's no need to be so formal. After all, I only taught you the basic sword stances..."

Well, the teacher's posture was perfect. It would have been even more perfect if he hadn't let out a small yawn as he finished speaking.

Seeing her adorable yawning, Lu Chen couldn't help but smile:
"Miss Huang, your eyes are almost closed. You should rest."

"Okay, it's time to rest. I'll wash up first..."

When Huang Rong brought out water and utensils from the cabin to rinse her mouth, Lu Chen was slightly stunned again.

Because Huang Rong was holding a delicate toothbrush with a bone handle, its design identical to a modern toothbrush. She even had toothpaste…

Well, that just shows how ignorant Lu Chen is.

In fact, as early as the Sui and Tang dynasties, there were toothbrushes that were almost identical in form to those of later generations. The handles were mostly made of wood or bone, and the brush heads had small holes in the side by side, filled with pig bristles or horsehair.

During the Song Dynasty, large cities like Lin'an even had toothbrush shops that specialized in selling toothbrushes, toothpaste, tooth powder, and other oral hygiene products.

Wealthy families were very particular about the toothpaste and tooth powder they used. The toothpaste was made from a variety of Chinese medicinal herbs that had cleaning and fragrance effects, and the tooth powder was mostly made from finely ground pearls mixed with ingredients such as salt.

Lu Chen hadn't studied these historical details much in his previous life, so he didn't know that people in the Song Dynasty could use toothbrushes and toothpaste to brush their teeth. He thought that people in the Song Dynasty just chewed willow twigs dipped in salt to rinse their mouths.

While I was lost in thought.

Huang Rong had already gargled quickly by the side of the boat, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, turned around and smiled at Lu Chen, revealing a set of pearly white teeth:
"Once we get to the city, I'll buy you a toothbrush. You can make do with this for tonight; just rinse your mouth with toothpaste using a muslin cloth."

Lu Chen nodded blankly, feeling that compared to Huang Rong, he, a transmigrator from a technological world, seemed like a caveman...

After rinsing her mouth, Huang Rong told Lu Chen to wait at the bow of the boat, then went into the cabin, closed the door, and quickly washed herself.

After that, she found Lu Chen a clean strip of linen, gave him a box of tooth powder, a cotton towel, and brought him some clean water, telling him to wash up at the bow of the boat.

This gave Lu Chen a subtle feeling of being kept by a rich young woman.

When they rested at night, Huang Rong didn't let him catch a cold at the bow of the boat, but instead called him into the cabin.

Although the boat was small, it was still a sea vessel, and it had a few small cabins.

Huang Rong arranged a cabin for Lu Chen that was big enough for him to stretch out his legs, and even put a hammock on it for him.

However, Lu Chen wasn't used to sleeping in a hammock, so he ended up lying on the floor instead.

With his hands behind his head, Lu Chen reminisced about his encounter, acquaintance, and time with Huang Rong today, a smile unconsciously appearing on his face. Since surviving his second life in this "main world" and awakening the mystery of his birth, he hadn't felt this relaxed in a long time. After calming his mind for a moment, he closed his eyes and let his consciousness sink into his sea of ​​consciousness.

First came darkness.

In the blink of an eye, the light shines brightly.

When Lu Chen's consciousness "opened" its eyes in the sea of ​​consciousness, a bright light immediately appeared before him.

The brilliant light that illuminated his mind was a sword.

A sword, as bright as the sun in the sky, hung high in the center of his sea of ​​consciousness, radiating a dazzling light. Within the light, scenes of destruction, end, and slaughter were constantly unfolding.

The intent of the Immortal Slayer Sword.

This is Lu Chen's cheat code.

In fact, Lu Chen's first life on Earth was also ended by this Immortal Slaughtering Sword Intent.

He recalled that he was eating barbecue alone at a night market, celebrating graduating and finding a job.
Just then, a beam of light descended from the sky and instantly turned him to ashes.

Crucially, it was also extremely precise, causing nothing but sinking to the ground without damaging anything else.

Then, the bright light carried Lu Chen's soul through time and space to another world, where he was reborn as an unborn fetus.

After that, his consciousness fell into a long silence.

It wasn't until three months ago, when he turned eighteen, that Lu Chen awakened to the mystery of his birth and regained his memories of his past life.

They also learned that the bright light was actually a "Slaying Immortal Sword Intent".

This "Slaying Immortal Sword Intent," though not a true physical immortal sword, possesses unfathomable power, capable of shattering the void and traversing the heavens.

Before merging with Lu Chen, the Zhuxian Sword Intent could only carry his soul across the land.

But after a long eighteen years, and after completely merging with his soul, it was able to carry him through his body.

However, Lu Chen is not yet able to control this time travel process freely.

After awakening, he knew that the "Sword Intent of Immortal Slaughter" could transport his physical body through time, and could also carry certain materials, and even people. He also knew that eighteen years had allowed the "Sword Intent of Immortal Slaughter" to accumulate enough energy for a time travel. However, he could not control when he would travel through time or where he would travel to.

That's why his first experience of physical incarnation was so sudden and chaotic, completely unprepared—he had simply finished a sword practice session, taken a shower, changed his clothes, dried his hair, and muttered to himself:
I've been practicing hard for three months, but my swordsmanship hasn't improved at all. When will you take me to a world with extraordinary martial arts?

Then the Zhuxian Sword Intent in his mind erupted on the spot, instantly bringing him to the world of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, and accurately throwing him in front of Huang Rong's small boat.

It happened so suddenly, just like the end of his first life.

Aside from this very sudden ability to travel through time.

The Zhuxian Sword Intent can also grant Lu Chen the path of a sword immortal, which involves entering the Dao through the sword.

However, in order to receive the teachings of the Immortal Execution Sword Intent, Lu Chen must first learn extraordinary sword techniques.

Using extraordinary swordsmanship as a key, he gradually unlocked the Sword Intent of Immortal Slaying, allowing it to give him feedback.

For the previous three months, Lu Chen had been unable to find any extraordinary sword techniques and could only sigh in vain at the sight of a sword.

And now...

Looking at the Zhuxian Sword Intent, which hangs high in the sea of ​​consciousness, shining brightly, and constantly depicting scenes of great destruction, great end, and great slaughter within its sword light, I felt a sense of awe.

Lu Chen murmured to himself:

"Come on, come on..."
