Wan Jian returns to his clan!

Chapter 195 The Mind is the Sword, A Stunning Fortune

Having formed an idea, Lu Wubing secretly decided to follow Yue Lingfeng down the mountain to see what his senior brother Yue Lingfeng was planning.

He finally understands.

Although this senior disciple seems unreliable, his luck is surprisingly good.

It seems like there will be unexpected encounters wherever you go.

He looks like a hapless kid, but he can actually turn suffering into a blessing.

He painstakingly cultivated his swordsmanship skills through various means, including using cheat codes and rigorous training, drawing upon the essence of two worlds.

He just took a long nap, drank some wine, and made mistakes from time to time, yet his cultivation and swordsmanship increased rapidly.

This unscientific.

"As the saying goes, one can know the whole leopard from a spot. Just by taking a sword strike from the senior brother, one can discover clues from the brilliance of that sword."

Although his skill wasn't particularly advanced, the subtle charm he possessed was something that should not be underestimated.

Thinking about it now, in terms of swordsmanship quality, it seems to be no less than the [Eight Swords of Subduing Dragon].

Lu Wubing was actually quite reluctant to admit that Yue Lingfeng's swordsmanship was at such a high level.

No matter what, the Eight Swords of Subduing Dragon were all Void-Breaking Divine Swords created by the once world-renowned Master Hanhai.

If any sword technique could rival this peerless sword technique, that would be terrible.

But he had to admit it.

Yue Lingfeng's swordsmanship is indeed extraordinary.

With a lightness skill that was barely at the Great Perfection level and a swordsmanship skill that was only at the Great Perfection level, he was two levels above her and could barely block her Flowing Light Sword Intent.

This is a remarkable thing.

Having ruled out all the impossibilities, the only remaining possibility is that the opponent's swordsmanship is not only no worse than his own, but also quite targeted.

It seems to have a special attack against the moves of the [Eight Swords of Subduing Dragon].

Are you saying it's weird?
"Meow..."

Lu Wubing had just left the Lianmian Taoist Temple and descended Mingyue Peak when he heard a cat meow.

The little guy suddenly appeared out of nowhere, biting his own trouser leg and making a series of clamping sounds.

It's as if it's saying, "You've got something fun to do, but you didn't take me with you! You're such a sly cat owner, are you trying to fly away?"

"Okay, I'll take you. Kitty, don't make a sound, be quiet, understand?"

Lu Wubing was somewhat helpless.

He could fool anyone, but he couldn't fool his pet.

This guy is probably becoming a spirit.

I don't know when it started, but I've found myself feeling quite connected to my own soul.

I can sense to some extent what they are thinking and what they are going to do.

Just like a cat will definitely sense when it encounters a formidable enemy.

If you want to sneak a treat, the cat will be there waiting to be fed; it's that magical.

Lu Wubing picked up the kitten and put it on his shoulder. Just as he was about to take a step, he stopped and laughed, "Well, Senior Sister Xiaolan, you've gotten smart now. You know you can't keep an eye on me, so you keep an eye on the kitten."

"Hmph, who has the patience to stare at you? It's just that the moonlight is so beautiful that I can't sleep."

Ouyang Lan quietly emerged from behind the tree, tilting her small, delicate nose up, her eyes full of smiles, her excitement practically overflowing.

She lowered her voice and asked quietly, "Should we follow Senior Brother and see what secrets he has?"

"You noticed something was wrong too?"

Lu Wubing found it very strange.

The carefree and easygoing Senior Sister Xiao Lan seems to have completely changed from before.

It seems that the saying "a girl changes drastically at eighteen" applies to more than just her figure and appearance.

Sometimes, even one's temperament can change.

"Actually, it wasn't that they discovered something was wrong on their own, but rather that my sword noticed something strange."

Ouyang Lan took Lu Wubing's hand and started walking, gesturing for him to come along.

She said softly, "Junior Brother, do you remember when we left the mountain, did Father and Mother plan for me to practice swordsmanship more?"

"Of course I remember. Master and Mistress's decision was actually quite good. Not only did they think so, but I also felt that if Senior Sister had learned more sword techniques, she would definitely have a deeper understanding."

Lu Wubing didn't know what she wanted to say, so he just went along with it.

"Yes, that's right. You don't know, after I learned a total of eight sword techniques, including the Seven Kill Sword and the Purple Star Divine Sword, I discovered that my sword techniques had undergone strange changes."

Ouyang Lan tilted her head and thought for a moment, then realized it was difficult to describe, so she simply put on an act and said, "I'll show you."

Talking.

She swung her sword and struck from afar.

In the northern sky, the distant stars shone faintly. Lu Wubing's divine sense was slightly aroused, and in an instant, he saw that the sword seemed to shake the stars in the sky.

In the dim night, everything suddenly became bright and clear, as if the mountain scenery was rotating and the lake water was also rotating.

At this moment, Ouyang Lan's ordinary Heavenly Star Sword Robe seemed to become incomparably gorgeous, and her face was also glowing with light, giving off a noble and magnificent feeling.

"Did you see it?"

"I can see that. You have a very noble air about you. For a moment, the light from your sword made you look like an empress. How did you do that?"

Lu Wubing did see through Ouyang Lan's sword style. This move, "Reigning Supreme," is actually a killing move from the Ziwei Divine Sword.

With a majestic presence, one can crush the enemy's morale and achieve victory without fighting.

However, when used by the sect leader, it didn't feel the same.

When Ouyang was fully wielding the Ziwei Divine Sword, it was indeed magnificent and awe-inspiring, but it lacked the aura of an emperor.

Ouyang Lan didn't know how she practiced, but she actually developed this feeling.

"Oh, you can see it now, right? Father said I practiced it wrong. Even Mother couldn't tell if it was true or not. She just said my sword looked good and told me to keep practicing and see what changes I could make."

"If you use this sword, will all your enemies hesitate and hold back, even if they are much stronger than you?"

"Hmm, that's true."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Lan's eyes lit up even more. After thinking about it carefully for a while, she nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"At the beginning, I mostly sparred with my father and mother, and I found that they never used their full strength."

Later, when practicing swordsmanship with his fellow disciples, he found them even more restrained...

It wasn't until this clash with the experts from the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall that I truly confirmed one thing: when fighting me, my opponents would inexplicably become several levels weaker.

"Tsk tsk, keep practicing like this, I think there's great potential."

"Mm." Ouyang Lan nodded happily, pleased with the approval.

When Lu Wubing was browsing through ancient books at the Tianxing Sect, he occasionally came across some fragments left by his predecessors.

When discussing swordsmanship, those senior masters would mention the terms "mind," "intention," and "momentum," but no one has ever elaborated on what these terms actually represent.

I don't know if I genuinely didn't know, or if I just felt this was too difficult to understand, so I simply decided not to write it down.

So as not to disturb the disciples' concentration on practicing swordsmanship.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Ziwei Divine Sword you're practicing is the real divine sword, while Master may have practiced it incorrectly."

Thinking of his sect leader, Lu Wubing couldn't help but sigh again. He remembered that they had both read the Yuanling Sword Manual around the same time and fallen into a huge pit.

Now he's even practicing his family's signature sword technique incorrectly, allowing his own daughter to secretly overtake him on a curve.

If he were to realize the truth in the future, I wonder what he would think?

"Come on, Senior Sister, use the entire set of the Ziwei Divine Sword again, and remember to use that feeling from before."

"Take this!"

Ouyang Lan didn't mind at all that Lu Wubing would secretly learn her family's swordsmanship after just a few glances.

He was actually quite happy to be able to help his junior apprentice.

'Senior sister is indeed senior sister, capable of what others cannot. Even such a powerful junior brother still has to learn swordsmanship from me, right? That's just how amazing I am…'

Lu Wubing also found it very strange.

He actually learned it after only watching it once and after Ouyang Lan's rambling explanation.

It's just weird.

The sect leader had taught us about the Purple Star Divine Sword.

However, since Ouyang Zheng had learned this divine sword technique from the divine intent of the Ancestral Master's Jade Pearl, he could not explain why it was so effective.

With Lu Wubing's ability to learn by watching it a few more times, he could master it.

He only learned the form, not the spirit, and never truly grasped the essence. He only mastered the [Vast Ocean Divine Skill] because the True Meaning Pearl contained the last remaining inheritance, allowing him to comprehend it easily.

I originally thought that these powerful internal skills and sword techniques, which are at the divine level, contain extremely important secrets that cannot be seen through from the surface, and that the true meaning of them cannot be learned.

Looking back now, it wasn't that I couldn't learn from appearances, but rather that the problem lay with the demonstrators and explainers.

"My master..."

Thinking of this, Lu Wubing couldn't help but silently mourn for the disciples of the Tianxing Sect for half a minute.

With such a master, it would be strange if the powerful martial arts and swordsmanship of the Tianxing Sect weren't lost.

After learning the [Purple Star Divine Sword]

Lu Wubing tried out the sword technique again and quickly understood its true meaning.

The Seven Star Sword Techniques I had seen before, such as Tian Shu, Tian Xuan, Tian Ji, and Yao Guang, all shone brightly in my mind like stars, transforming into the Big Dipper, constantly swirling around the [Ziwei Divine Sword].

Once you master one sword, you'll master all seven.

It also has countless variations.

Good guy.

It turns out that the Seven Star Sword was separated from the Purple Star Divine Sword.

Each disciple practiced a sword technique, which eventually formed the massive and complex Ziwei Divine Sword. Legend has it that the Celestial Master Tianhe comprehended the sword by observing celestial phenomena at night, and the insights he gained were extraordinary.

“Senior sister, since you have mastered the Ziwei Divine Sword and developed it into a sword of the heart, then you can probably learn a similar sword technique from the Eight Subduing Dragon Swords.”

Lu Wubing compared "Reigning Supreme" and "Leaderless Dragons" and was surprised to find that these two sword techniques actually followed the same path, just different branches.

"Ruling the world" is about intimidation and a contest of minds, while "When the dragons are leaderless, the world is blessed" is a move that attacks the mind and cuts through the heart.

One is grand, the other is fierce.

Both techniques have unique and ingenious uses.

Although Senior Sister Xiaolan's cultivation level wasn't particularly high, her ability to apply it was already quite remarkable.

If she can master the "Leaderless Dragon" technique, even enemies two or three levels higher than her will be caught off guard and fall victim to it.

The martial arts of this world have many illogical and unreasonable aspects.

It's not simply a fusion of strength and skill, nor can it be summarized by cultivation level or physical strength.

Of course, this is quite normal. With techniques like Infinite Vitality and Shadow Combat already emerging, what other extraordinary skills and techniques can't be used?

"Hey, this sword technique is easy to learn, much easier than the Flowing Light Sword."

After rehearsing "A Group of Dragons Without a Leader," Lu Wubing rambled on and on, conveying his own thoughts to the audience, without even knowing what he was saying.

Strangely enough, Ouyang Lan actually learned it just like that.

"You really know how?"

"Yes, I got it. It's very simple. You've already fed me, junior brother. If I still can't learn it, wouldn't I be too stupid?"

Seventh Senior Sister, Senior Sister Xiao Lan is scolding you.

Thinking back to when they were in Donghai County, he felt that his seventh senior sister and Cheng Liangyu, who were stationed there, were not very strong. If they encountered a master of the Innate Realm, they would probably have a hard time resisting. He had considered teaching them this Heart Sword technique, hoping to give them another sword technique for self-defense.

No matter how he taught them, Lin Wenjing and Cheng Liangyu would stare at him with their clear, foolish eyes, completely bewildered.

Then, Lu Wubing understood.

Some martial arts skills also depend on compatibility.

If you can't learn it, you just can't learn it.

Every inch has its advantages and every foot its disadvantages; there's no way to force it.

As it turned out, Senior Sister Xiaolan learned it just by watching and practicing.

He can even perform a feint with his sword on the spot.

A pheasant flew by in the night sky, croaking, and then fell silently to the ground.

"How about we roast a pheasant? We're all starving."

Lu Wubing chuckled, rubbing his forehead. He roughly understood why Senior Sister Xiaolan had learned sword techniques like the Heart Sword so quickly.

Because this girl had nothing on her mind.

With a pure heart and a clear understanding of swordsmanship, she sees things differently from ordinary people.

Laugh when you want to laugh, cry when you want to cry; you may seem carefree, but you are actually very true to yourself.

"Pheasant can be roasted anytime. Come here, stay by my side, let's go see what our senior brother is doing?"

Lu Wubing took off his moon-white sword shirt, turned it inside out, and found a black tight-fitting outfit underneath.

With a sway, his bones cracked and popped, and his physique became much taller and stronger.

So much so that even his large clothes looked a bit tight.

"Junior brother, what's wrong with you...?"

The sudden transformation startled Ouyang Lan.

Coming to her senses, she giggled and touched this and that, her eyes wide with surprise: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have recognized it."

The shape of her face hasn't changed much, of course.

It's not that it's impossible, but without a mirror in front of him, Lu Wubing was worried that manipulating his bones and muscles would make him incredibly ugly.

Therefore, he simply took a black cloth from his pocket and covered himself up.

"If you master the Dragon Tendon Tiger Bone Fist, you can also partially change the shape of your bones and tendons, thus altering your appearance."

Lu Wubing laughed.

Ouyang Lan stuck out her tongue and said embarrassedly, "I really can't do that. These days, no matter how I practice the Dragon Tendon Tiger Bone Fist, I can't make any progress. It was the same as it was on the mountain back then, and it's still the same now."

"Don't worry, after we return to the mountain, take more Golden Jade Pills. I will use acupuncture to carefully treat you. There is still hope for you to break through."

Ouyang Lan's talent for body refinement was, unsurprisingly, terrible.

Lu Wubing was already prepared and was not surprised at all.

But it doesn't matter.

They brought so many precious medicines from Donghai County. Even if the students' aptitudes were a bit lacking, they could still be promoted based on the medicines alone. This is the true strength of a major sect.

We need not only gifted disciples, but also solid, mid-level disciples.

As long as there is even one redeeming quality, resources can be used to create a formidable expert.

……

"Huh? Why did Senior Brother stop? Wasn't he ordered by Father to return to the Heavenly Star Sect?"

Ouyang Lan's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz as it reached Lu Wubing's ear.

The two stood shoulder to shoulder, taking steps in unison and landing in unison, just like conjoined twins, their coordination was exquisite.

It has to be said that, apart from body training, when Senior Sister Xiaolan gets serious, she makes rapid progress in all aspects.

Needless to say, his swordsmanship improved, and he even suddenly mastered lightness skills.

During the time Lu Wubing was away in Donghai County, she secretly improved her Fangcunbu skill from proficiency to mastery.

At this moment, the feet lightly step forward, as if floating in the air, deeply embodying the meaning of speed and agility.

They followed closely behind Yue Lingfeng, not falling behind at all.

"No need to be so quiet. I used my spiritual magic to lock the area three feet around us. As long as you don't shout at the top of your lungs, I guarantee that Senior Brother won't hear a sound."

"Junior Brother, did you change your clothes and disguise to rush out and beat up Senior Brother?"

Ouyang Lan felt a mix of reluctance and amusement, making her tone quite complicated.

"Why would I hit him? I just wanted to steal my senior brother's swordsmanship. Don't you think his swordsmanship is amazing? He's clearly in seclusion, so where did he learn such a powerful swordsmanship? Could it be that the patriarch of the back mountain passed on his teachings?"

"Believe it or not, there really is a patriarch passing on his teachings in the back mountain."

It was meant as a joke, but Ouyang Lan took it seriously.

"However, that patriarch was not a person."

"You mean that old white ape!"

Lu Wubing also remembered that the cat stole fruit from Peach Mountain every day, sometimes covered in dust and with several bumps on its body, so of course he knew.

They also knew that those monkeys were truly not to be trifled with.

I've also heard that the monkeys' ancestors were some remarkable figures.

"If it really is that White Ape Ancestor, then it's not surprising."

"Indeed, his luck is extraordinary. Even facing the wall can yield great results. Such a stroke of good fortune. I am no match for him."
