I Have the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye in the Storm Riders

After Duan Lang finished practicing a set of sword techniques, he stood still, a little sweat glistening on his forehead.

He turned his head and found Jiang Chen staring intently at him with the eyes of someone looking at a priceless treasure, which made him frown.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Duan Lang's tone carried a hint of displeasure, but the wariness in his eyes was much less than it had been half a month ago.

"Hehe, Brother Lang, I see you have extraordinary talent; you're a martial arts prodigy!"

Jiang Chen suppressed the strange look in his eyes, put on a playful expression, and leaned closer. "I saw you practicing your sword just now. Even though you were using a tree branch, the aura you exuded was even more terrifying than if you were wielding a real sword! Is this the legendary 'Eclipse Sword Technique'?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of arrogance flashed in Duan Lang's eyes.

"You have a good eye. However, my skill is still shallow, and I can only unleash one-tenth of the power of this sword technique."

He gripped the branch tightly and whispered, "One day, I will make everyone know that the Duan family's Eclipse Sword Technique is the best in the world!"

Jiang Chen looked at the stubborn young man in front of him, and his heart was filled with joy.

"This is a huge profit!"

"What are you grinning about?" Duan Lang rolled his eyes at Jiang Chen's smug expression. "My Eclipse Sword Technique may only be at the beginner level, but it's not something everyone can understand. What secrets could you possibly have?"

Jiang Chen snapped out of his daze, looked at Duan Lang's arrogant face, and a plan formed in his mind.

"Brother Lang, your swordsmanship is indeed impressive. However..."

He deliberately dragged out the last syllable, bent down, picked up a withered branch from the ground that was similar to the one in Duan Lang's hand, and weighed it in his hand.

"But what?" Duan Lang raised an eyebrow, somewhat unconvinced.

"However, compared to my family's ancestral swordsmanship, it seems to be slightly lacking," Jiang Chen said shamelessly.

"Your family's ancestral sword technique?" Duan Lang scoffed, clearly unconvinced. "You're just bragging. Where did you get your family's sword technique? And it's supposed to be stronger than my Duan family's Eclipse Sword Technique?"

"Don't believe me?" Jiang Chen wasn't angry, he just smiled faintly, "Whether it's bragging or not, we'll find out by trying."

At this moment, the new sword technique derived from the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye was already thoroughly memorized in his mind.

The new sword technique, after being refined, although derived from the "Eclipse Sword Technique," has undergone tremendous changes in both the trajectory of the moves and the techniques for generating power.

By eliminating the dross and retaining the essence, the original eight complex forms have been condensed into four forms, simplifying the complex and pointing directly to the origin of swordsmanship!

Jiang Chen gave this sword technique a new name.

"Brother Lang, watch closely! This is the first move passed down in my family—Dawn Slash!"

Jiang Chen let out a low shout and suddenly thrust out the withered tree branch in his hand.

This thrust was devoid of any fancy movements; in fact, it looked rather strange.

Its trajectory completely defies common sense; it neither follows a straight line nor an arc, but rather emerges from the void at an extremely tricky angle!

"This..." Duan Lang frowned.

He had never seen such a bizarre starting stance before, completely devoid of any sect's influence, let alone any connection to his Eclipse Sword Technique.

But the next moment, his pupils suddenly contracted!

As the thrust advanced, an indescribable sharpness swept over us.

The withered tree branch seemed to transform into a blazing sun descending from the sky. Although it lacked the support of true energy, it carried an overbearing aura that could burn everything!

Before Duan Lang could even see clearly, Jiang Chen's sword stance had already changed.

The bare branches traced several mysterious paths in the air, like the blazing midday sun, radiating light so intense that one dared not look directly at them.

With a thrust, Jiang Chen flicked his wrist, abruptly changing the sword's momentum, and shouted, "Blazing Sun Strike!"

The withered tree branch swung down with a whistling sound, sweeping and powerful!

If the first move is a sharp thrust, then this move is a heavy slash, like the midday sun pressing down on you, leaving you with no way to avoid it and only to withstand it!

Before the downward force of the sword had subsided, Jiang Chen's figure swayed like a ghost, and his sword move changed again: "Flash of the Setting Sun!"

The originally fierce and unparalleled sword intent instantly transformed into something strange and unpredictable.

The branch in my hand seemed to transform into the afterglow of the setting sun, flickering between light and shadow, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion.

The sword tip drew several incredible arcs in the air, specifically targeting the opponent's blind spots, making it impossible to defend against.

After three moves, Jiang Chen's momentum had reached its peak. He took a deep breath, and all his energy seemed to converge into this one sword strike. He roared, "Burning Heaven Style!"

This is the ultimate killing move of the entire sword technique!

Although he didn't possess any true qi, the aura he unleashed in an instant seemed to freeze the surrounding air.

The withered tree branch suddenly pierced out, carrying an indomitable and tragic momentum, as if it wanted to burn the sky to ashes!

Four moves!

Only four moves!

Jiang Chen practiced all four moves in one go.

Although his movements were somewhat weak and feeble due to the thinness of his internal energy, he couldn't even roll up a few leaves.

However, the artistic conception contained in the moves, the domineering sword intent that seemed to burn and devour everything, left Duan Lang dumbfounded, frozen in place.

"What... what kind of sword technique is this?!" Duan Lang's mouth dropped open, and the branch in his hand fell to the ground with a "thud," but he didn't even notice.

He practiced swordsmanship diligently from a young age, so his judgment was naturally excellent.

Although he couldn't understand the origin of these four moves, he could sense that these four sword techniques were exquisite and profound, far superior to the Eclipse Sword Technique he had learned!

In particular, the kind of artistic conception that simplifies complexity and goes straight to the source was something he had never heard of before!

"How is this possible..." Duan Lang muttered to himself, his eyes filled with disbelief. "There is such exquisite swordsmanship in this world? And... and it looks completely different from my Eclipse Sword Technique... it seems even stronger than mine?"

Jiang Chen put away the branch and exhaled a long breath.

Although he only practiced the moves once, it was still a considerable burden for him, given his frail physique.

He wiped the sweat from his brow, glanced at the dazed Duan Lang, and chuckled inwardly, but outwardly maintained a mysterious and inscrutable demeanor:

"How is it, Brother Lang? How does my 'Blazing Sun Sword Technique' compare to what you were practicing earlier?"

"The Blazing Sun Sword Technique?" Duan Lang repeated the name, a hint of awe flashing in his eyes. "What a domineering name! What a domineering sword technique!"

He didn't connect this sword technique with his own family's Eclipse Sword Technique at all, because the two were completely different in terms of both moves and artistic conception.

If the Eclipse Sword Technique is a blend of yin and yang with an eerie quality, then the Blazing Sun Sword Technique is pure, fierce, and domineering!

"Jiang Chen..." Duan Lang took a deep breath, his eyes becoming more serious than ever before, "Your family's sword technique is truly impressive! I, Duan Lang... am convinced!"

Getting the proud and arrogant Duan Lang to utter a single word of "admire" is harder than climbing to heaven.

Jiang Chen felt secretly pleased and walked over to pat him on the shoulder:

"Alright, Lang-ge, we're brothers, aren't we? Since you think it's good, let's train together from now on! I've been finding training alone too boring, so let's check each other's progress and improve together!"

"Practice together?" Duan Lang suddenly raised his head, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes. "You...you're willing to teach me this family's secret technique?"

In this martial arts world where sectarianism is deeply ingrained, family secrets are often passed down only to sons and not daughters, and only within the family.

Jiang Chen was actually willing to teach him such a powerful sword technique?

"What 'teaching' nonsense, it sounds awful." Jiang Chen waved his hand and laughed, "I already said it's about mutual verification. Besides, I see you have extraordinary talent, a martial arts prodigy. This sword technique will definitely be stronger in your hands than in mine. I don't want this unique skill to be lost in my hands."

Looking into Jiang Chen's sincere eyes, Duan Lang felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

This trust, this affection, is worth more than a thousand pieces of gold!

"Alright!" Duan Lang nodded heavily, his eyes slightly red and his voice choked with emotion. "Jiang Chen, from this day forward, you are my brother! If anyone dares to bully you, I, Duan Lang, will be the first to object!"
