A Sword Mastery Genius Comparable to Heavenly Blade Song Que? [Requesting Recommendation

Su Yang took a deep breath, his gaze clear, meeting Yang Yunxing's scrutinizing eyes without flinching, and slowly said, "Reporting to the Instructor, this disciple believes that the essence of swordsmanship lies in 'strength,' 'accuracy,' and 'intention.'"

"To chop a large piece of firewood, one must identify the weakest point of the wood grain, concentrate all the strength of the body on a single point on the axe blade, unleash a burst of power from waist to stance, and strive to break it in one strike. This is the essence of 'concentrated power' and 'hit the mark' in hammering and forging."

"Splitting thin firewood, whether hard or brittle, with varying textures, requires different angles and forces. The slightest deviation can cause it to slip or only damage the surface. This hones one's 'control of force' and 'precision in striking'."

"No matter what kind of firewood you are chopping, if you don't have the 'determination to cut it,' your hands will hesitate and become powerless. This mindset is the same as the 'intent to kill the enemy' and 'ambition to break through the enemy' in swordsmanship."

He paused, his voice deepening slightly: "In my humble opinion, swordsmanship is a technique for killing enemies and protecting one's life, and also an extension of the body. Chopping wood may seem crude, but it is the most direct way to hone the fundamentals of power generation and hone one's focus. I just feel that... chopping wood is suitable for me to comprehend the ruthlessness and decisiveness of the word 'breaking the edge'."

These words were well-organized and insightful, combining practical experience with a profound understanding of martial arts and mental discipline. Many of the guards around him put away their disdain and began to ponder them.

"what?"

The scrutinizing look in Yang Yunxing's eyes gradually faded, replaced by a deep and inquisitive gaze.

He stood with his hands behind his back, remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Since you think that chopping wood can help you understand the knife... then practice the 'Three Forms of Breaking the Edge' once and let me see."

"yes!"

Su Yang clasped his hands in a fist salute and drew the hardwood training knife from his waist with a backhand motion.

The moment he gripped the knife, Su Yang's aura suddenly hardened.

He didn't start immediately, but closed his eyes and thoroughly integrated the experience and insights of the proficiency level infused into the panel with the understanding gained from countless wood-chopping sessions.

When he opened his eyes again, his gaze was different.

It's not just sharpness, but a calm confidence that comes from understanding something essential.

First move – Thrust!

The trajectory of the wooden sword being drawn from its sheath was extremely simple, yet so fast it made one's eyelids twitch!

The sharp whistling sound of the blade cutting through the air carried a chilling undertone, as if even an iron plate would be torn open by this thrust!

"This feeling...something's not right! This is definitely not something someone who's only been handling a knife for a short time could produce! Judging from the effect he's using it, his Breaking Edge Blade Technique has already reached a high level of proficiency!"

Yang Yunxing's pupils suddenly contracted!

The old guards around him were all shocked as they looked at Su Yang. They had all practiced the Breaking Edge Blade Technique for a long time, so they could see that Su Yang's swordsmanship was far beyond what beginners could do!

Second move – Horizontal sweep!

Before the blade's momentum faded, Su Yang shifted his feet, his waist and hips twisting so slightly as to be almost invisible, yet the wooden blade seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, transforming into a strange gray line that swept across the middle and lower lanes!

This swift, dangerous, and venomous strike is like a viper spitting its tongue, targeting the most vulnerable areas of the body: the waist, ribs, and knees. It carries a sinister and cunning intent that cuts to the bone!

Yang Yunxing looked at Su Yang, his eyes growing brighter and brighter!

The third move – Crushing Slash!

Before the sweeping force was exhausted, Su Yang exhaled like thunder, his whole body seemingly merging with the wooden sword in his hand. It was no longer "man wielding sword," but "sword carrying man" crashing down!

This slash was unstoppable, the arc of the wooden sword was as heavy as a collapsing mountain, and it carried a tragic will to destroy, suppress, and crush everything!

The blade sliced ​​through the air, emitting a low groan.

collapse!

The wooden sword remained suspended in mid-air, its residual force still present, creating a small vortex of air within a foot of Su Yang's body, causing dust to rise slightly from the ground.

After performing the three moves, Su Yang sheathed his sword, his expression unchanged, as if he had only done a trivial matter.

The entire room was deathly silent; you could hear a pin drop.

All the guards were dumbfounded.

They had all practiced Su Yang's Breaking Edge Blade Technique for a long time, but most of them could not match Su Yang's fierce momentum!

Keep in mind, Su Yang only practiced for one morning!

"This talent for swordsmanship?!...No! This is genius!"

Yang Yunxing stood still, his heart churning with turbulent emotions.

He saw it more clearly than anyone else!

In just one morning!

From complete novice to masterful swordsmanship?!

This goes beyond being described as "talented"! This is simply a genius born for the knife!

Yang Yunxing joined the army in his early years and saw many geniuses. He himself was also considered to be exceptionally gifted.

But none of them are as good as Su Yang in front of them!

As far as he knew, the only person who could go from being a complete novice to a master of a sword technique in just a few hours was probably Song Que, the "Heavenly Blade" who defeated the tyrannical Yue Shan and became famous throughout the world at the age of twenty!

Could it be that I have encountered a peerless sword genius comparable to Song Que, the Heavenly Blade?

After a long while, Yang Yunxing slowly exhaled a hot breath, as if he wanted to expel all the shock in his chest.

The way he looked at Su Yang had completely changed.

It was no longer about looking at a promising junior, but rather like looking at a rare treasure, a peerless and deadly blade that was waiting to be fully sharpened!

"good!"

Yang Yunxing's voice was somewhat hoarse, yet carried an undeniable force: "What a brilliant 'Firewood Chopping for Sword Mastery'! Su Yang, your swordsmanship talent... far exceeds my expectations!"

He stepped forward, almost touching Su Yang, his gaze intense, his voice low but each word like a hammer blow to Su Yang's ears: "I don't know how you did it, and I won't ask. But remember, conceal your strength, feign weakness. Keep your skills hidden until you truly need to unleash them! In the future, when practicing your sword in public, you're only allowed to use thirty percent of your current skill. If I see you like this again... I'll personally deal with you!"

Having said that, he stepped back and roared to the entire audience in a booming voice, "Open your eyes wide and see clearly! This is the result of hard work and ingenuity! Use your brains more! I am very satisfied with Su Yang's performance today! From today onwards, I will personally arrange his training, and no one is allowed to interfere! You all, train like crazy! If anyone can have even a fraction of his comprehension, I'll guarantee your future!"

"Thank you, Coach!"

Su Yang clasped his hands in a fist salute, sensing the deeper meaning and protective intent in Yang Yunxing's words.

Yang Yunxing nodded and said urgently and solemnly in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Come to my place at dusk tonight. I have something for you."

Su Yang's heart tightened, and he solemnly replied, "Yes!"

Yang Yunxing stopped looking at him, turned around like an enraged lion, and began to train the other guards with an unprecedentedly strict attitude. His roar was deafening, as if he wanted to vent all the shock and excitement in his heart.

When Su Yang returned to the team, he could feel that the gazes around him had turned into pure awe and reverence.

He knew that what he had shown probably far exceeded Yang Yunxing's expectations.

"You have something to ask me... or something to give me?"

Su Yang's mind raced with thoughts.

The questions might be about the details of his "understanding the knife through chopping wood," or to explore his origins and character.

But giving something... that's intriguing.

Is it a more advanced sword technique manual?

Not too possible.

Is it a better weapon?

A real knife?

As a newly recruited nurse, that's possible.
