Who taught him to practice swordsmanship like this?

That night, everyone was arranged to rest in guest rooms, conserving their energy for the sword duel the next day.

But at night, Wufengjian Lao found it difficult to rest.

It seems he took the task assigned by the Palace Master of Kaiyang very seriously, thinking about how to persuade the Crimson-Bearded Sword Master.

Su Baichen wasn't too worried about this. In fact, when he learned that the Crimson Beard Sword Master had already discovered the problem of the Formless Ones and deliberately maintained the internal purity of the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect, he knew that this sect would at least not become an enemy.

The next morning they arrived at the training ground, which was converted from a completely independent mountain peak. More than 300 people from the Tianxia Sword Sect had all come, looking like they were there to watch the excitement.

Wu Feng Jian Lao pointed at Jian Liuli and the others and said, "These five are the senior disciples of my Changchun Sword Sect, and they have all reached the Five Qi Gathering Cultivation level." Then he pointed to Su Baichen, Wang Xingyuan and his group of three and said, "These three are new disciples who were accepted five years ago. They joined the sect relatively late, but they are quite talented."

The Crimson-Bearded Sword Master said somewhat impatiently, "With our relationship, let's skip the formalities and get straight to the point."

"Hongye, although you are my disciple, you joined the sect later and should actually be considered to be of the same generation as them. Why don't you start by choosing your opponent?"

Su Baichen recognized Hongye; she was none other than the handsome young man who had questioned Wuxiangzhe yesterday.

At this moment, he said with a somewhat cynical air, "Alright, since Master thinks I should go into battle..."

Then, he changed his tone and said, "I've heard that the senior sister of the Changchun Sword Sect, Jian Liuli, is a natural swordswoman with a Glazed Sword Heart. I'm curious, please enlighten me."

He spoke humbly, but acted with great confidence, as if he were an elder.

Jian Liuli responded politely, then smiled and said, "Since 'Junior Uncle' wants to have a sword duel with me, then let's do it." She casually teased him.

This seemed like self-deprecation, or perhaps a sarcastic jab at the red leaves; in any case, she was a proud and arrogant person.

The two then got into fighting stances and began to compete.

This was a contest that, to put it another way, seemed evenly matched, but actually had a large element of performance involved.

Hongye's moves were indeed overwhelming, like a sea of ​​fire sweeping across the sky, but the problem was that Jian Liuli was agile and unpredictable, and with a slippery appearance, she narrowly blocked Hongye's attacks every time, seemingly always on the defensive.

But it's clear to anyone with eyes that she handled each situation with ease and used the least amount of effort.

In other words, Hongye fought very hard, but Jian Liuli was just acting.

It wasn't until after seventeen moves that she began to fight back.

Three consecutive sword strikes, each faster than the last, left Hongye completely bewildered and quickly defeated.

Exactly twenty moves.

When he reached this point, Su Baichen found it quite amusing. Wasn't this the number that the Sword Master Wufeng had specifically given him on the way?

This Senior Sister Liuli is really interesting; she achieved her goal exactly, no more, no less.

"Oh dear, Junior Uncle, I was too rough with my hands."

Jian Liuli has started acting badly again.

The disciples of the Sword Sect all showed deep resentment towards this, clearly indicating that they were also often the targets of bullying.

Hongye was quite a character. He didn't feel ashamed at all. Instead, he said with a grin, "Hey, Junior Sister Liuli is really amazing. As expected of the senior sister of Changchun Sword Sect, it's perfectly normal for a junior brother like me from Tianxia Sword Sect to lose."

They're good at making excuses, but this is tantamount to lowering the seniority of the Crimson Beard Sword Master as well...

The Crimson-Bearded Sword Master was both amused and exasperated: "Who told you to go and choose that girl, Liuli? She's come three times already. Usually, it's your senior brother's disciples who challenge her. How could it be your turn?"

"Fine, anyway, I only asked you to come out to liven up the atmosphere and warm up the crowd. As long as the purpose is achieved, that's enough."

Goodness, this Crimson Beard Sword Master is quite something, directly labeling Red Leaf as a "clown."

Sure enough, after everyone joined in the laughter, the atmosphere relaxed.

One after another, disciples of the Tianxia Sword Sect stepped forward to challenge the disciples of Changchun Palace. Each time they challenged each other, they would exchange names and announce their preferred sword moves. They made friends through swordsmanship and had no intention of hiding any killing moves or counter-attacking. They were simply exchanging ideas and broadening their horizons.

At first, no one challenged Su Baichen, until a female disciple of the Tianxia Sword Sect, who was about fifteen or sixteen years old, timidly stepped forward at the urging of her fellow disciples. After taking a closer look, she chose Su Baichen, the youngest of the disciples, as her opponent.

This is a female sword cultivator who lacks confidence.

She probably felt she couldn't beat others, so she could only target Su Baichen, a kid who seemed "easy to bully."

Su Baichen readily accepted the challenge and, like his senior brothers and sisters, announced his name: "I am Baichen, skilled in illusion and swordsmanship. Senior sister, please be careful."

The girl quickly clasped her hands in greeting and said, "Feiyan, you are skilled in the Crimson Cloud Sword Technique. Please teach me."

Having watched so many matches, Su Baichen also knew that the so-called "Crimson Cloud Sword Technique" was actually the basic sword technique of the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect.

Coupled with Fei Yan's timid appearance, Su Baichen immediately felt that she might just be a junior disciple who had just started learning a basic sword technique, and he couldn't very well use advanced sword techniques to bully her.

The two then clashed, with Su Baichen also employing his "Basic Sword Techniques" to fight back.

What is his basic swordsmanship?

Of course, it's the Changchun Yangzhen Sword.

This sword technique was executed slowly and methodically, yet it always had a sense of composure. In terms of its effectiveness, it could definitely be called the "Gentleman's Sword"... However, when the Sword Master Wufeng saw this scene, he helplessly patted his forehead and dared not look at the Sword Master Chixu.

Because the Changchun Yangzhen Sword, a basic sword technique, is truly a training method for strengthening the body, there are naturally other basic sword techniques used to build a foundation for swordsmanship after entering the Changchun Sword Sect.

Although the Crimson Cloud Sword Technique of the Tianxia Sword Sect is regarded as a basic sword technique, almost all the Tianxia Sword Sect's inheritances can be traced back to and rooted in the Crimson Cloud Sword Technique. It can be said that this sword technique is the general outline of the Tianxia Sword Sect's swordsmanship.

What does Su Baichen's "Changchun Yangzhen Sword" represent?

The Crimson-Bearded Sword Master looked over with a strange expression and asked, "Wu Feng, what's the deal with this sword technique? Why have I never seen you practice it?" He analyzed with a puzzled expression, "Although it doesn't seem to have any true sword intent, it seems to have countless connections with all the sword techniques of the Changchun Sword Sect..."

The Sword Master Wufeng could only explain, "This is the 'Eternal Spring Nourishing True Sword,' which is the foundational sword technique of my Changchun Palace."

The Crimson Beard Sword Master was surprised: "This kid is quite interesting. He probably saw that Fei Yan used the Crimson Cloud Sword Technique, so he used your basic sword techniques to fight back." After saying that, he stopped talking and started watching seriously.

As for the Crimson Beard Sword Master, he had never seen the "Eternal Spring Nourishing True Sword" before, so he studied it very carefully, without the slightest disdain that this sword technique was not actually that advanced.
