"Plop"…
The sound of something heavy falling to the ground.
Don't think too much. It wasn't that someone had been beaten down. It was just that a hundred-year-old tree had been cut down.
"Sigh…I've been chopping trees for a week. When will my days come to an end?”。
Qin Wu was very helpless. He turned around and saw that the originally dense forest had been cut down by him, leaving only bare stumps and broken branches on the ground.
Since the day he officially acknowledged Dugu Han as his master, Dugu Han had indeed begun to seriously teach him swordsmanship.
In order to not let his progress be too slow, and to not let Dugu Han be dissatisfied, he had to learn every move that Dugu Han had taught him. As for Dugu Han's words, he didn't really listen. He hadn't yet been taught the Nine Beyond Swords, so he had understood enough of the basic movements.
Of course, even if he didn't listen carefully, Qin Wu still showed that he was listening seriously.
In fact, Dugu Han was very satisfied with Qin Wu's performance.
Just a week…How much was a week? A week was seven days.
The speed at which Qin Wu learned the basics of swordsmanship left Dugu Han speechless. In just seven days, he had completed all the basic training.
Dugu Han found it hard to believe. Even though she had become a Sword Saint at the age of four and a Sword Demon at the age of seventeen, it had taken her nearly a month to perfect her basic training.
It didn't matter if there were other reasons. Dugu Han felt that the more perfect Qin Wu's performance was, the better. This made her very proud. No matter what, Qin Wu had indeed achieved a cultivation speed that was theoretically impossible.
In Dugu Han's eyes, this meant that Qin Wu's talent was above hers. The biggest dream of a person who had reached the pinnacle of a certain realm was to be able to teach a disciple who would not fall behind him or even surpass him. In this way, his life would be perfect.
Without a doubt, Dugu Han's sword intent had reached the pinnacle, a pinnacle that she thought no one could surpass. After becoming a Sword Demon, she felt that it was very rare to find a successor who could inherit half of her skills. But now, things were different. Qin Wu had appeared…and the terrifying talent he displayed clearly proved that his comprehension of sword arts would likely surpass Dugu Han's.
Dugu Han wasn't jealous at all. She was very happy. Her cold nature made her very happy. She was even happier than when she had reached a higher realm.
Therefore, Dugu Han, who was very happy, would naturally teach Qin Wu everything he knew.
Not only did she demonstrate and teach Qin Wu the basics in the first seven days, but she was also not sloppy after that. As soon as Qin Wu completed the basics, she immediately took Qin Wu to cut down trees.
Yes, that's right, it was indeed cutting down trees…
Hence, the scene at the beginning appeared.
When Dugu Han brought Qin Wu to the wilderness to cut down trees on the first day, Qin Wu could completely understand.
Chopping down trees…Although it looked barbaric, it was actually a good way to train one's arm strength and swing speed. It wasn't just swordsmanship. Chopping down trees was an essential training for many people.
But on the seventh day, Dugu Han still asked him to chop down trees…
Qin Wu couldn't understand it at all. He could think it through in a day, two days, three days, or even four or five days, but it had already been seven days…
These days, Dugu Han had only come over in the morning to remind Qin Wu before disappearing. Let Qin Wu fend for himself here.
Even though he had once reached a rather high level in swordsmanship, he still felt that it was a waste of time.
Therefore, Qin Wu planned to take advantage of Dugu Han's absence to practice other things.
"Pa, pa, pa…"
At this moment, Dugu Han appeared.
Dugu Han came to Qin Wu with a smile and clapped his hands.""Very good, little Qin Wu. As expected of my disciple, you've once again completed my mission perfectly."
"My mission?" Qin Wu looked up in confusion.
From the moment Dugu Han suddenly appeared behind him, Qin Wu knew that Dugu Han had probably been by his side for the past seven days.
…Fortunately, I didn't slack off these days. I was just about to be a hands-off manager when she came…
Qin Wu secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but then he felt that something was wrong. But I practice the Eight Gates every night.
" That's right." Dugu Han nodded." Do you know why I kept asking you to cut down trees but never told you?”。
Qin Wu recalled his past experience and replied,"" Even though it's just cutting down trees, it actually trains many useful things, such as attack speed, attack strength, eyesight, and leg strength.
" Indeed, you can improve all of these while cutting down trees, but there are better ways to improve these than cutting down trees." Dugu Han nodded and shook his head."But it's not bad to think of this. My real goal is to train your mentality."
Dugu Han looked at Qin Wu's calm expression and explained,""That's right. The strength of a swordsman's swordsmanship basically determines all of a warrior's abilities. The sword technique required fast attack speed, attack power that could kill an enemy in one strike, eyesight that could not miss an attack, and movement speed that could move like lightning. However, other than swordsmanship, the most fundamental thing for a warrior is to have a calm mind and…absolute obedience."
"Absolute obedience?" Qin Wu frowned,[This doesn't sound like something someone like Dugu Han would say.]
Dugu Han narrowed his eyes. The reason why a warrior was a warrior and not a swordsman or an assassin was because of absolute obedience. Swordsmen always put the cultivation of their sword skills first, and although assassins do not achieve their goals by hook or by crook, assassins still complete missions that are beneficial to themselves for their own benefits."
"Warriors are different. Warriors either don't accept missions or accept them…they have to pay with their lives to obey the person who issued the mission. Even if he is lying, you have to believe him! "Because a warrior needs money, strength, reputation, and prestige," Dugu Han explained in detail."I'm your master and the person who taught you. To you, I'm the one you have to absolutely obey."
"But what good is there in compromising like this other than bringing some reputation?”Qin Wu frowned,[I don't want to be a pure warrior…]
Dugu Han shook his head. As a samurai, shouldn't you think about the benefits first? How many benefits would there be? Something like that."
"So there are no benefits?" Qin Wu's eyes widened.
"Why are you still thinking about benefits?" Dugu Han glared at him." I told you that as a warrior, you can't always think about benefits."
" Then I don't want to be a warrior," Qin Wu said lightly.
"What did you say?" Dugu Han frowned and stared at Qin Wu.”。
Qin Wu also looked back at Dugu Han and said,""I said I don't want to be a warrior. If a samurai gave up his true dignity for the sake of fame and reputation, what was the use of being a samurai? Besides, I only wanted to become stronger!”。
"…" Dugu Han seemed a little angry as he continued to glare at Qin Wu and said coldly,"" You dare to say that again?!"
Qin Wu wasn't afraid at all. He seemed to have seen through Dugu Han's thoughts…
" I said…I don't want to be a samurai. I just want to become stronger."
Dugu Han stretched out his hands and slowly approached Qin Wu…
"Pa…"
"Hahaha…Little Qin Wu, you're so cute! This is the first time I've been so happy in all these years. As expected of my disciple. From tomorrow onwards, I'll lead you to the path of my Nine Swords Beyond the Swords!”。
Who knew that Dugu Han would suddenly ignore the fact that he was a cold woman and laugh out loud. He rubbed Qin Wu's small face with both hands.
" Wu…Wu…" Qin Wu stared at Dugu Han with wide eyes. He wanted to say something, but Dugu Han had trampled on him until he couldn't say anything.
After a long time, Dugu Han remembered that if this went on, this disciple in front of her, who was completely in line with her wishes, would be played to death by her. He put down his hands on both sides of Qin Wu's cheeks and smiled." Now you've really passed my test, Little Qin Wu."
"What exactly happened?" Although he had already guessed it, Qin Wu still pretended to be confused and asked.
Dugu Han had calmed down a little, but he still couldn't hide the smile on his face. He said,""Although I've been talking about swordsmanship and martial arts these days, I've never said that I'm a martial artist…That's right, I'm not a martial artist, I'm just a pure swordsman. I will not allow my successor to be a warrior."I didn't say that samurai are bad, but samurai have too many things to take into account, which makes them unable to become strong."
"This can't be right, right? Weren't all the Sword Saints in history warriors?”Qin Wu asked.
" That's right, but that's all. They'll only stay at the Sword Saint level and will never reach the highest realm of sword intent, which is my realm." Dugu Han smiled contemptuously." If you want to become my successor and learn the Nine Swords Beyond the Swords, then you have to have only one goal: to become stronger for that goal. Your goal is very clear, that is, to take revenge. After you take revenge, you will have nothing but strength. At that time, your biggest dream will be to find someone who can inherit your strength, instead of being tied down by someone like me.
Turning his head to look at the forest that had been reduced to ruins, Dugu Han smiled and said,""And the real reason why I asked you to cut down the tree is to let you understand the meaning of the Nine Beyond the Swords from the most basic point of view. "Sometimes, the number of sword strikes can actually be infinitely magnified.
Infinite amplification?
Although Dugu Han's words were very abstract, Qin Wu still understood this situation. For example, when Dugu Han destroyed the Country of Feathers with a single strike, the first move of the Nine Swords Beyond the Swords, Heaven Splitting and Earth Splitting, was to expand the power of the sword infinitely. Otherwise, how could a thin sword increase the attack range of a large country?
" From tomorrow onwards, I'll teach you the first move of the Nine Swords Beyond the Swords. After that…you'll continue to cut down trees until you can cut down an entire forest with a single sword strike." Dugu Han set a hard target.
"…" Qin Wu felt that with his cultivation speed, it wasn't too difficult to achieve that. But…did all the trees have a grudge against Dugu Han? Don't you know how to take good care of the environment…
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
On the other side, Qin Wu was helplessly practicing swordsmanship with Dugu Han.
On the other hand, Six Paths of Heavenly Flames was furiously following the Fire Country's diplomat team to protect them.
They had visited the Country of Ghosts and the Country of Wind and were about to visit the Country of Earth.
Although Six Paths of Heavenly Flames was small, he had a bad temper, especially after he was tricked by Qin Wu. He wanted to kill the diplomat and settle the score with Qin Wu.
Who asked him not to have a chance to make a move in the past 14 days? They had not even encountered a small bandit…
"Little Tian, what's wrong with you? His expression is getting uglier by the day."
Fei Yu of Phoenix Temple came to the side of the Six Heavenly Flames and asked worriedly," Are you feeling unwell or something? Do you need me to send you home or to the clinic? Don't worry, this diplomat is a very good person. He will definitely be reasonable."
Go home?
Six Paths of Heavenly Flames automatically ignored the words " go to the clinic ". He was very excited when he heard that he was going home. Although he did not admit that the Han Residence was his home, it was enough as long as he could find Qin Wu to settle the score.
Thinking that he could teach Qin Wu a lesson soon, Six Paths of Heavenly Flames 'mood instantly became very good. Just as he was about to pretend to be sick and agree to go home…
"May I ask if the person sitting in the sedan chair is the Fire Country's diplomat?”。
A black-haired young man walked out from the road. He was wearing a gray headscarf that looked a little too long. He lowered his head and asked the warrior at the front of the team.
"That's right. What's the matter?”。
It wasn't a secret for the Fire Country's diplomat to go out and visit, and they had quite a number of powerful guards. The warrior at the front who was obviously older replied.
" Oh, it's nothing…"
The black-haired young man replied. Then, he raised his head." They just wanted to kidnap your country's diplomat…"
" What?!" When the warriors heard this, they were all shocked. Regardless of the authenticity of the man's words, they pulled out their swords and were about to slash at the man.
However, before they could draw their blades…
"Gululu…"
Their heads rolled to the ground.
The young man, on the other hand, had a gentle smile on his face, and the gray headscarf he was wearing was already in his hand.

If the prerequisite for being invincible in the world is to be cold-blooded and heartless and then betray you, then I'd rather be a weakling. If I can't protect you after becoming a weakling, then I'd rather be cold-blooded and heartless.
