Demon Suppression Division: Starting as a Jailer in the Cycle of Reincarnation to Become a Martial G

As the long sword was drawn, Su Wu instantly stood still, gripping the sword and assuming a stance.

The initial stance is determined by observing the mountain!

Gathering strength, listening to the peaks to accumulate power!

Break through the momentum, sever the meridians!

As the mental techniques that Qin Poyue had taught him surfaced in his mind, Su Wu gathered his strength and slashed out with his sword in front of him!

Clang!

In an instant, a cold light exploded like an arc, slashing down at the air in front of him!

Fortunately, Su Wu had already gained a lot of experience in controlling his force through previous practice.

After making the slash, he quickly withdrew his strength to prevent his body from losing balance due to inertia.

"How is Uncle Liu?"

After delivering his strike, Su Wu quickly looked at Liu Dashan, hoping to gain his approval.

However, Liu Dashan frowned slightly when faced with Su Wu's slash.

"I once saw Old Qin wield this broken mountain knife."

"While it has the form, it still feels like something's missing."

"What's missing?" Su Wu frowned slightly in response to Liu Dashan's guidance.

"Momentum!"

Liu Dashan suddenly slapped his thigh.

"It's a bit lacking in momentum!"

"You don't have that ability to control the blade at will, to make it move as you please!"

"Or rather, you're not familiar with the knife and can't yet wield it with ease."

"That's why you're still finding it a bit difficult to pull back your strength."

Upon hearing this, Su Wu felt as if he had been enlightened, but he still had doubts in his heart.

"But how can this shortcoming be overcome?"

"Practice more?"

Aside from practicing more, Su Wu, who only had a superficial understanding of the art of the sword, felt there was no other shortcut.

They could only hope that Liu Dashan, who had slightly more experience than them, might have some ideas.

"What do you think, Uncle Liu?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Dashan nodded slightly in agreement.

"You need to practice more."

Upon hearing this, Su Wu's face revealed an expression of "I knew it."

However, Liu Dashan's words the next second made Su Wu's body tremble.

"But I'm not just practicing with this broken mountain knife."

"Instead, you need to practice basic swordsmanship."

"You need to become familiar with the knife first before you can take the next step and grasp the essence of the sword."

"Otherwise, if I were to ask you to comprehend the sword technique now, it would be like building a towering structure on a hilltop, or floating on a rootless duckweed."

Listening to Liu Dashan's analysis, Su Wu's eyes showed a look of sudden realization.

"I see."

"Looks like I'll have to find someone to teach me the basics of swordsmanship again."

Upon hearing this, Liu Dashan dusted himself off and walked straight into the cell.

"It's not that complicated."

"It's just basic swordsmanship. Your Uncle Liu doesn't know anything else, but I can teach you this easily."

Seeing Liu Dashan's chin jutting out proudly as he spoke, Su Wu couldn't help but show a hint of surprise and delight in his eyes.

"Uncle Liu, you know how to make this?"

If Liu Dashan knows these basic knife skills, then I won't have to find someone else to teach me.

"That's right, your Uncle Liu has practiced these basic things the most rigorously."

Liu Dashan laughed heartily, then drew the long sword from his waist.

"Watch carefully, I'll only teach you once."

As the long sword was drawn, Liu Dashan's aura changed instantly. The previous thuggish soldier's aura vanished in an instant, replaced by a swift and steady power.

He stared intently ahead, gripped the knife in his backhand, and rose to his feet.

"The basics of swordsmanship consist of eight techniques."

"Flick, chop, stab, sweep, wipe, parry, collapse, entangle!"

"Let me teach you the first move: flirting!"

As he spoke, Liu Dashan flicked his knife, the blade moving upwards in an arc, the tip rising from the ground to shoulder height.

"This strike is specifically designed to attack the lower body, used to slash the abdomen or forelimb joints of demons, or to knock the weapons off the ground of fallen enemies."

Seeing Liu Dashan's perfect flick, Su Wu couldn't help but admire him.

As expected of a veteran prison guard, Liu Dashan's slash was far superior to mine in both power and skill.

No wonder Liu Dashan was so confident in teaching me swordsmanship; he really does have some skills.

Then, under Su Wu's watchful eye, Liu Dashan demonstrated each of the eight basic sword techniques in its entirety before Su Wu.

"Alright, these are the eight basic sword techniques. Have you memorized them all?"

After finishing the drill, Liu Dashan was slightly out of breath. He sheathed his sword and looked at Su Wu in front of him.

"I've got it."

Faced with Liu Dashan's question, Su Wu nodded honestly.

Upon hearing this, Liu Dashan gestured directly to Su Wu to the side.

"It's not enough to just talk about it; you need to demonstrate it to me first."

Upon hearing this, Su Wu didn't hesitate. He immediately drew his sword, stood up, and demonstrated all eight basic sword techniques he had learned in front of Liu Dashan.

Seeing this, Liu Dashan nodded slightly.

"To be fair, you have a good memory; you've learned all the moves quite well."

"Although it has not yet reached the pinnacle of perfection, achieving complete control, it has already taken shape."

"Whenever you have free time, practice this sword technique. You'll eventually be able to break through their defenses."

Su Wu nodded slightly in response to Liu Dashan's instructions.

Afterwards, under Liu Dashan's care, Su Wu practiced basic swordsmanship for a while before being released from prison to patrol.

During this time, Su Wu would take time to practice the basic sword techniques he had just learned.

As for the basic demon-suppressing stupa, I'll practice it properly after I get back to my dorm, and then take a nice nap.

Nothing happened that night. After they had endured until dawn, when the guards came to hand over their shifts, Su Wu and Liu Dashan went straight to their dormitory.

Back in his dormitory, Su Wu couldn't wait to begin practicing the basic Demon-Suppressing Stance.

"You little rascal, you've really gone mad with cultivation."

Seeing Su Wu start cultivating as soon as he found the time, Liu Dashan couldn't help but shake his head.

"I have never seen such a diligent person."

"If I had even a fraction of your diligence back then, I probably wouldn't be just a lowly jailer today."

"Forget it, I'm not going to compete with you young people anymore. Your Uncle Liu's body can't take it anymore, I'm going to rest first."

After saying that, Liu Dashan casually fetched some water, washed his face and feet, turned around, went to bed, and fell asleep.

Su Wu, on the other hand, continued his cultivation.

Thanks to the replenishment of Yin Sha power in the Demon Suppression Prison, Su Wu's cold poison has been restored, and he has no need to worry about not having enough Yin Sha power in his body.

He didn't know how long he had been cultivating, but when his eyelids started to droop wildly, his limbs felt weak, and his head was spinning, he finally opened his eyes.

"It's reached its limit."

After his recent cultivation, his Qi and blood levels changed once again.

[Realm: Third level of body tempering (140/400)]

Because of his previous training in the Demon Suppression Prison, he couldn't reach level 60 this time, and started feeling sleepy at level 40.

"Let me see how much blood essence the fox spirit and Qin Poyue have collected in their encyclopedias."

"I wonder how much further we are from breaking through to the fourth level of Body Tempering, even if we combine all of these."
