Ning couldn't understand at all. He hurriedly asked,"Father, you said that you have to be physically prepared to practice the sword. However, what did it mean that the heart had to be prepared to practice the sword?”
"Don't worry."
Yichuan looked at his son, then a thick book appeared out of nowhere in his hand. He threw it towards Ning."Take a closer look at this fist technique. This fist technique has a total of sixteen stances, and it contains the most basic yet most basic techniques for exerting force. When you master this set of fist techniques, you will feel relaxed and at ease.”
"The sword is an extension of the body. If the body can't follow the heart, how can the sword follow the heart?”Yichuan looked at his son, worried that his son would be too ambitious.”
Ning knew very well that sharpening a knife wouldn't delay the work of chopping wood.
"Yes, Father." Ning nodded, then lowered his head and began to flip through the book, carefully memorizing the mysteries of the fist art. This manual seemed very thick, but in truth, it was made from leather, so each page was quite thick.
After memorizing the profundities, he began to practice again. His father continued to give pointers, point out mistakes, demonstrate personally, and tell him the trick.
In truth, the [Shadewind Steps] already involved some physical exertion of strength, but the [Shadewind Steps] was primarily about exerting strength in the legs. Because of his experience, Ning was able to learn it quite quickly.
……
Two hours later.
"Let's rest." Yichuan looked at his sweaty son." From now on, you will practice the fist for two hours every day until I'm certain that your body is ready to practice the sword.”
"It's one thing to prepare your body for sword practice.”
"You also have to be mentally prepared to practice the sword.”Two black metal swords appeared in Yichuan's hands, and he tossed them to his son.”
Ning held the two swords.
Yichuan pointed at the empty space next to him. Whoosh. A metallic golem suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The metallic golem held a saber in its hand.
"This is a golem." Yichuan said," In the Ki Refining Immortal path, there are those who are skilled in creating golems. This golem is considered the most ordinary of golems, and it has roughly the power of a peak Houtian. However, its body is incomparably tough.”
"Father, why are there red spots on his body?”Ning was puzzled.
There were more than ten red dots on the body of this black metal puppet. They were on the forehead, throat, chest, arms, wrists, back, and other places.
"Try to stab the red dot between its eyebrows.”Yichuan immediately said,"Hurry."
"Yes." Ning suddenly stabbed out with his right hand.
Whoosh!
The tip of the sword stabbed forward, but it hit the head, missing by about an inch.
"This…" Ning was slightly startled. He had clearly wanted to stab it in the center of his forehead. He couldn't help but stab it three more times, but he always missed.
"Did you notice?" Yichuan said calmly," Although you want to stab your sword into your forehead, when you do it, you won't be able to stab it at all. How could he stab accurately? First, he needed to control his body more freely, and second, he needed to practice it thousands of times.”
"If any sword technique is completely broken down, it can be divided into 13 basic forms: chop, stab, lift, sweep, collapse, point, chop, block, cut, twist, pick, pull, and hang.”
"Slash, stab, lift, sweep, slash, point, lean towards attack.”
"Twist, collapse, frame, pick, pull, hang, intercept, lean towards defense.”
Yichuan pointed at the metallic golem." This golem doesn't move at all. There are a total of nineteen red dots on its body. When you execute the six stances on its body, I'll teach you the tricks of each stance. I'll teach you how to coordinate your movements and techniques. You'll have to practice each of the basic sword stances over ten million times!”
" After that, the puppet will move and slash at you with its saber techniques. You'll have to defend yourself with the basic Seven Sword Stances of 'Twist, Crush, Block, Pick, Pry, Hang, and Intercept'. You'll have to defend yourself tens of millions of times.”
"Attack!"
"Defend!"
"In the future, when you are familiar with it, the puppet will fight you. You can mix your basic thirteen sword forms and use them on it.”Yichuan looked at his son." One day, when you truly master the Thirteen Basic Sword Stances to the bone and are extremely precise, you will be able to completely engrave the fundamentals of the sword into your heart. Only then will your heart be ready to train in the sword.”
Ning held his breath as he listened.
"Prepare your body."
"Be mentally prepared."
"Only after that can you truly start practicing swordsmanship.”Yichuan looked at his son." The sword-arts are complex and complex. They are formed by combining the thirteen basic sword-stances. If he couldn't even integrate the 13 basic sword forms into his bones…how high could he be in sword practice?”
"Only when you've mastered the sword art I've imparted to you will you be considered to have reached the first level of the sword art, the 'foundations'.”
"The sword is also divided into three realms."
"Foundation, Minute Subtlety, Heaven Man Unity!”
"The Minute Subtlety of footwork is a fine control of the body. As for the Minute Subtlety of the sword technique, it meant that one's control over the body and the sword had reached an exquisite level, and they had to be as one! The difficulty is ten times higher!"
"Heaven Man Unity? That's even further away."
Yichuan looked at his son."Ji Ning, do you understand the path you need to take?”
"Yes." Ning nodded heavily.
The purpose of cultivating the [Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens] was to allow one to possess a Fiendgod body and inconceivable power.
However, the cultivation of footwork and sword techniques could determine…how much strength one could unleash!
"Father, how long will it take for me to become one with the sword?”Ning couldn't help but ask.
"Hard to say." Yichuan shook his head." Back then, I spent six years laying the foundation, and then another six years before becoming one with the sword. It took twelve years!"
"Twelve years?" Ning held his breath.
His father had been the number one expert of the Ji clan of the West Prefecture at such a young age, and had been so peerless in his magnificence, but it had taken him twelve years. For example, many mediocre people…could never reach the realm of 'Man and Sword as One' even after practicing the sword for their entire lives.
"Don't aim too high, you have to be down-to-earth.”Yichuan looked at his son." Let's begin. I'll first teach you one of the thirteen basic sword stances-Stab!”
……
Under his father's guidance, Ning's posture was very accurate. He stabbed again and again! Slash after slash! Flirting again and again! Again and again!
It was very boring.
Very tired.
Thankfully, Ning's body had recovered to an astonishing level. In addition, he had been tormented by illness in his previous life…which had resulted in him not giving up easily.
After attacking for two hours, it would take another two hours to start practicing defense.
The metallic golem didn't know how to tire at all. It repeatedly slashed out with its saber, forcing Ning to defend against it.
"Yichuan." Snow was standing far away, watching her son train hard.
Yichuan walked over to his wife's side, staring at his distant son, who was fighting against the metallic golem."Xue, I didn't expect…I really didn't expect…our son's willpower to be so strong. I was even prepared to force him to cultivate if he didn't want to. I didn't expect that I didn't even need to force him!”
"Practice footwork in the morning." Snow's heart ached as she looked at her son." Although he says that he's tired, he's just shouting. He's never stopped. Six hours in the morning, six hours in the afternoon…a total of twelve hours of cultivation a day. How old was Ning 'er this year?”
"I still remember when I was young." Yichuan said softly," At that time, I was forced by my father. At that time, I felt that I was too tired and was on the verge of breaking down. But the moment I gave up, my father would whip me ruthlessly. "I cried as I swung my sword and stabbed it again and again…until I was ten years old. My father was killed by a Diremonster from Eastmount Marsh. My mother and I's statuses plummeted. I saw how cold and chaotic human relations were, and my mother died of illness…Only then did I come to my senses. I didn't complain about being tired or bitter, and I cultivated diligently every day.”
He had never cultivated before, so he did not know how tiring it was to continue cultivating.
His body was tired, but his heart was even more tired.
Without enough persistence and desire in one's heart, one would not be able to persevere.
"Originally, I doubted my son's future achievements.”Yichuan said softly," He is very talented as a Fiendgod Body Refiner, but if he doesn't work hard, he won't be able to achieve much in the future. Now, I believe that my son will definitely become a true expert of this world. Definitely!"
Snow listened to her husband's words, then looked at her son, who was immersed in his training. She nodded gently."I believe it too!"
******
Watching himself grow stronger and stronger, even stronger than some supermen in the movies he had seen in his previous life, this feeling was too wonderful!
A year later.
Whoosh. The distant Blindfish suddenly threw out four pebbles. The slightly taller Ji Ning suddenly drew his bow, four arrows in his hands, and four of them in his five fingers.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The four arrows flashed and disappeared, leaving four airwaves in the air. They directly hit the four stones that were thrown in the distance, causing the four stones to shatter and fall to the ground.
"Alright." Blindfish strode over and laughed loudly. His laughter was like thunder.
"Master Blindfish." Ning sheathed his bow.
"You've already mastered the Heart Arrow. You've even mastered the Four Arrows at the Same Time that I'm most proud of.”Blindfish nodded in praise." I don't have much to teach you about your archery skills." Next, you need to practice more and accumulate experience. As your strength increases, you will naturally be able to shoot stronger arrows. This training field is too small for you. You need to go to a more spacious place. You need to shoot arrows from one to two miles away, or even three to four miles away! The further away they were, the more they had to consider the wind speed and other environmental factors.”
"Understood." Ning nodded.
Archery had to be extremely accurate.
Gravity had to be taken into account. The bow and arrow would fall due to gravity during flight. At the same time, he had to consider the wind force!
It sounded complicated, but as long as he could sense the wind, he could shoot without even aiming. How to shoot and from what angle, everything had been practiced countless times and integrated into his bones. At the very least, to the current Ning…within five hundred meters of him, not even a fly would be able to escape!
However, this was far from enough!
As one grew stronger, the arrows shot by Xiantian lifeforms would still be extremely powerful even after flying for several kilometers! The further the distance, the more difficult it was to maintain accuracy…He needed more practice to accumulate experience.
"From tomorrow onwards, I won't be coming here. Young Master, you are the most talented person I have ever taught.”Blindfish looked at Ning."Don't waste your talent. In the future, you will definitely become the most terrifying master archer in Swallow Mountain.”
