In his spare time, Chenxin would always hold a long sword and practice swordsmanship in the courtyard.
Chen Xin led the two siblings to a spacious open area in the courtyard.
The place is flat and clean, surrounded by flowers and trees, and extremely quiet, making it an ideal place for practicing martial arts and swordsmanship.
Chen Xin stood in the center of the courtyard, his expression suddenly becoming solemn, and his aura instantly condensed.
Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a sharp fluctuation of soul power, his martial soul, the Seven Kill Sword, suddenly appeared in his hand.
The Seven Kill Sword radiated a chilling light, its blade pattern appearing as if naturally formed, containing boundless killing intent.
Holding the Seven Kill Sword, Chen Xin looked at the two people in front of him with a gentle yet expectant gaze, a smile appearing on his face, his voice steady and powerful.
"Come, let me see how far you two have come in understanding the way of the sword over these three years."
Gu Han and Bibi Dong exchanged a smile, their smiles full of confidence and tacit understanding, and then walked side by side to the opposite side of Chen Xin.
Gu Han's eyes sharpened, and the Xuan Shuang Sword appeared in his hand. The sword was surrounded by wisps of cold air, as if it could freeze the surrounding air, and the sword gleamed with a cold light.
Bibi Dong's jade hand swept across the soul tool, and she took out a longsword that was entirely dark blue and incomparably sharp. This longsword was made of a special material, and when soul power was attached to it, it was in no way inferior to a top-level martial soul.
Gu Han respectfully clasped his hands in a salute and said in a solemn and firm tone, "Master, please enlighten me."
Bibi Dong winked playfully, her eyes sparkling with a lively light, and a sly smile appeared on her lips.
"Uncle Jian, my junior brother has just mastered an incredibly powerful sword technique, so you'd better be careful."
Her voice carried the liveliness and charm unique to young girls, yet it also subtly revealed her confidence in her swordsmanship.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xin's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he laughed loudly, "Haha, since that's the case, let me take a good look at what's so special about Xiao Han's newly comprehended swordsmanship."
The laughter contained both the expectation for the growth of the disciple he valued and the curiosity and eagerness of a master swordsman to try out a new sword technique.
"Then please enlighten me, teacher."
Gu Han looked confident, exchanged a glance with Bibi Dong, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Then, the two moved. In the blink of an eye, he and Bibi Dong shot forward like arrows released from a bow, attacking from both sides. Their figures moved with lightning speed.
The two siblings, with perfect teamwork, unleashed their Tai Chi sword techniques at the same time.
The Xuan Shuang sword in Gu Han's hand drew an arc in the air that seemed weak but actually carried immense power, waiting for the right moment to unleash its terrifying power.
Bibi Dong wielded a dark blue longsword, her movements as graceful and agile as a butterfly in flight. Her swordplay appeared soft but was actually full of hidden secrets, as if it contained endless variations, like surging waves beneath a calm lake.
The two men's moves appeared gentle, like a breeze, but they were actually weaving an impenetrable net of swords, full of hidden variations that were impossible to defend against.
Upon seeing this, Chen Xin's eyes flashed with a sharp light, as if a new door had been opened, and he couldn't help but shout his approval.
"Excellent swordsmanship!"
Immediately, his aura surged, and the Seven Kill Sword gleamed with a chilling light in the sunlight. He unleashed the Seven Kill Sword Technique with overwhelming force, skillfully maneuvering against his senior and junior siblings.
In an instant, the three swordsmen unleashed a dazzling display of swordplay in the tranquil courtyard, their sword shadows clashing and creating a breathtaking sword duel.
The Tai Chi sword technique displayed by the two siblings truly astonished Chen Xin.
This sword technique perfectly blends strength and gentleness.
When it is at its most powerful, it is like a thunderbolt, with sword energy crisscrossing, as if it can cut through all obstacles in its path.
When the sword strikes are gentle, it's like a spring breeze and a gentle rain. The sword moves are graceful and subtle, silently neutralizing his fierce sword strikes. It's as if he's being swept up by a strange force, and he feels like he's stuck in a quagmire, unable to exert any strength.
The two siblings worked together seamlessly, complementing each other perfectly. Their sword moves flowed together flawlessly, as if they were one entity.
What amazed Chen Xin even more was that this sword technique seemed to possess a magical power, perfectly in harmony with the natural world.
In Chen Xin's eyes, every breath the two siblings took echoed the rhythm of their sword moves, as if they were dancing with heaven and earth and conversing with nature.
With this sword technique, the two siblings displayed combat power far exceeding that of their peers, making Chen Xin increasingly amazed by them.
"What superb swordsmanship!"
Chen Xin was amazed again. Then, his eyes sharpened, and he keenly seized the fleeting opportunity, instantly breaking free from the sword net that surrounded him and his senior brother.
Then, the Seven Kill Sword in his hand shone brightly. After precisely controlling his soul power to ensure that it was within the range that his senior and junior siblings could withstand, he suddenly slashed out with his sword.
"Behold the sword aura!"
A sword aura containing boundless killing intent, accompanied by a sharp gust of wind, rushed swiftly towards the two of them.
The two siblings reacted quickly, exchanging glances and reaching a tacit understanding before attacking simultaneously.
The two wielded their longswords, subtly unleashing the unique transformative power of Tai Chi swordsmanship.
Gu Han's Xuan Shuang sword drew arcs, cleverly diverting part of the sword energy to the side. Bibi Dong also used her longsword as a guide, her sword moves flowing like water, dissipating the remaining energy into nothingness.
In the blink of an eye, the murderous sword energy, which was powerful enough to easily kill a Soul Emperor, was easily neutralized by them.
Seeing this, Chen Xin stopped making a move, put away the Seven Kill Sword, his eyes were full of excitement and appreciation, his face was full of excited smiles, and he kept praising it.
"Excellent swordsmanship! Excellent swordsmanship! Truly exquisite and unparalleled swordsmanship!"
After saying that, he turned his gaze to Gu Han, his eyes filled with expectation and curiosity, and asked, "Little Han, such an exquisite sword technique, have you given it a name?"
Seeing this, Gu Han and Bibi Dong also sheathed their swords. After hearing Chen Xin's question, Gu Han respectfully clasped his hands in a slight salute and answered truthfully, "Master, this sword technique is called Tai Chi Sword!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xin looked slightly puzzled and asked without hesitation.
"Minor Cold, what is Tai Chi?"
Gu Han bowed slightly, his expression serious, and explained in an orderly manner: "Master, Tai Chi is the fundamental principle of the operation of heaven and earth and all things. Tai means ultimate, and Ji means limit. It represents a supreme and endless realm. It contains the two opposing and mutually generating forces of Yin and Yang."
At this point, Gu Han paused for a moment, took out paper and pen from his soul tool, and drew a Tai Chi diagram.
“Master, look, this is the Tai Chi symbol. The black and white fish embrace each other. Black represents Yin and white represents Yang. There is Yang within Yin and Yin within Yang. It cycles endlessly, creating life without end.”
"In this sword technique, hardness is yang and softness is yin. When it is hard and fierce, it can be as powerful as thunder and lightning, and is incomparably swift."
"When supple, it is like a spring breeze and rain, skillfully defusing the enemy's attack. The two are interdependent and transform into each other, making the sword moves continuous and infinitely varied. This is the meaning of 'Tai Chi' in Tai Chi sword."
Bibi Dong added with a smile, "Uncle Jian, Tai Chi sword emphasizes using softness to overcome hardness, combining softness and hardness, skillfully responding to the opponent's force, and not confronting the enemy head-on. It's like water, seemingly weak, yet capable of containing endless changes and power."
Chen Xin listened quietly to Gu Han and Bibi Dong's explanations, his eyes gradually gleaming with a deep light.
A surge of emotions welled up within him. This Tai Chi sword technique was quite different from the sharp and swift sword moves he was used to, yet it contained the fierceness and sharpness of his sword moves in a wonderful way.
At this moment, in his eyes, the Tai Chi sword seemed to be a strange and all-encompassing world.
Especially after sparring with him, his understanding of Tai Chi sword became particularly profound.
The sword moves appear gentle and graceful, yet they conceal a turbulent undercurrent.
That method of neutralizing force can quietly deflect an opponent's attack, like a gentle spring breeze and a light rain, leaving no trace, yet containing the subtle skill of using minimal force to overcome great strength.
The occasional bursts of fierce power within it are like a sudden clap of thunder, always unleashing astonishing force at just the right moment.
This swordsmanship, which combines strength and gentleness, opened a new world for Chen Xin, captivating him completely.
The principles of Tai Chi swordplay might help him reach a higher level in swordsmanship.
"Excellent, what a fine Tai Chi sword technique!"
Chen Xin couldn't help but exclaim in admiration once again.
The excitement and amazement in his eyes were hard to conceal, and a strong thought spread from the depths of his heart: "This Tai Chi sword may be the opportunity for me to take another step forward."
Although he was Gu Han's master and should have been the one to impart knowledge, teach skills, and resolve doubts, his extreme fascination with the Tai Chi sword, which contained unique profound meaning, instantly overcame that slight concern when he faced it.
Chen Xin's expression became solemn. He stepped forward, clasped his hands in a salute to Gu Han, and said sincerely, "Little Han, this Tai Chi sword has truly broadened my horizons. The wonders of Yin and Yang and the way of change within it have left me deeply impressed by its infinite mysteries."
"The path of swordsmanship requires constant exploration and progress. Although I am unworthy to be your teacher, I hope you will not hesitate to teach me in order to improve my swordsmanship and explain the subtleties of Tai Chi sword in detail."
After saying that, he looked intently at Gu Han, his eyes filled with unwavering dedication to the way of the sword.
Seeing Chen Xin's solemn attitude, Gu Han was startled and quickly returned the gesture with a deep bow. "Master, you are making me feel ashamed. Your skill in swordsmanship is something I can only look up to. It is my honor to receive your inquiries. There is no need for such a grand gesture. You are making me feel ashamed."
Bibi Dong was also surprised. She quickly stepped forward to help Chen Xin up, and then smiled.
"Uncle Jian, you're being so polite, you're really treating us like outsiders. If you want to learn, just tell us, and we'll teach you."
"Moreover, you have been immersed in kendo for many years and have unique insights. Perhaps after you learn it, you can point out many areas for improvement for us."
She smiled and chatted, her eyes sparkling with respect and affection for Chenxin. Her enthusiasm instantly made the atmosphere between the three of them even more harmonious.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xin smiled gently, his eyes filled with relief and emotion. He shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "Dong'er's little mouth is getting better and better at talking."
His gaze shifted back and forth between Bibi Dong and Gu Han, a warm feeling welling up inside him.
He could feel that the two children in front of him truly respected and loved him without reservation.
This bond between teacher and student is especially precious at this moment.
"To have disciples like you is truly my great fortune." His voice was slightly low, tinged with emotion.
Then, his expression became serious again. He looked at the two senior and junior disciples and said, "Then I will not stand on ceremony. I hope that you two can pass on the essence of Tai Chi sword to me without reservation."
His words revealed his dedication and yearning for the way of the sword.
Chapter 103 Chen Xin Comprehends the True Meaning of Tai Chi
Without wasting words, Gu Han immediately walked back to the open space, summoned the Xuan Shuang Sword, and focused his expression.
He slowly unfurled his sword stance, beginning to demonstrate the essence of Tai Chi to Chen Xin.
Gu Han's swordplay was light and agile, his posture graceful, and every move and stance displayed the unique charm of Tai Chi sword.
During the demonstration, Gu Han did not forget to explain: "Master, the key to Tai Chi sword lies in the intention, rather than being bound by the moves. Once you understand the true meaning, you can use the sword moves at will."
After saying that, Gu Han took a deep breath, and his swordplay became even softer. The sword seemed to be guided by an invisible force, drawing graceful arcs in the air, like willow branches dancing in the wind. It appeared soft and weak, but in fact, it concealed a surging power.
"The highest virtue is like water. Water, though seemingly formless, can be infinitely varied. When it is gentle, it is like a spring drizzle, silent and unobtrusive, causing the enemy to sink like a mud ox into the sea, and its offensive is quietly neutralized."
As Gu Han finished speaking, he slowed down his swordplay, making the blade as gentle as flowing water. He lightly parted the grass and trees beside him, and the sharp blade left the grass and trees unharmed.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Han suddenly changed his sword stance, and his sword moves suddenly became fierce, like a surging river with overwhelming force. His sword moves were powerful and fierce, and the sharp sword energy howled in the air, emitting bursts of sword sounds.
"At its peak, it is like a raging wave crashing against the shore, with power bursting forth instantly, making it difficult for the enemy to resist."
After demonstrating a set of sword techniques, Gu Han sheathed his sword, stood up, slowly exhaled, and then spoke.
"The sword techniques are continuous and endless, with the interplay between hardness and softness, circulating endlessly, making them unpredictable to the enemy."
After saying that, Gu Han took out a water bottle from his soul tool, tilted his head back and took a long gulp.
Chen Xin was immersed in contemplating the philosophy of Tai Chi sword, recalling the sword intent that Gu Han had just demonstrated, and repeatedly reciting several important points.
