Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Frost Sword Technique
The next day, Xue Binglan got up early, her cultivation speed was fast enough, but she felt that her efforts were far from enough, not only Zhang Ye's threat to her, but also the unknown future, she was not qualified to slack off.
Xue Binglan reviewed the spirit control technique she learned yesterday many times, and it was not until she controlled her spiritual power that she became more and more proficient in releasing spells, and then stopped.
She took out the frost condensing sword technique that Han Ling gave her, and Han Ling told her that this was a superb exercise, which was once obtained by his master in an ancient ruin somewhere, its sword moves were very domineering, and the attack was fierce, and only with the ice spirit root could it fully exert its advantages, otherwise it could only master the fur, but not appreciate its essence.
Xue Binglan penetrated her divine sense into the Frost Sword Technique and began to read. There are a total of five styles of the Frost Sword Technique, each of which represents a different realm, and those who practice this sword technique must follow the order and fully master each sword style before they can learn the next style.
The five realms of the Frost Condensing Sword Technique are sword shape, sword intent, sword heart, sword way, and human sword unity.
A person who has mastered the sword form can emit sword qi when he draws the sword, and the power is determined by the cultivation of the sword maker and the comprehension of the sword technique. Sword intent is the introduction to sword cultivation, there are thousands of sword intents in the world, as a non-sword cultivator, no matter which one you master, it is very strong.
The so-called sword heart is a realm that can only be reached after the sword jade grows into a sword species, and ordinary monks, if they are not sword cultivators, can reach this realm, they must have extremely high understanding and talent.
Kendo is to cultivate the sword heart to the great perfection, to reach the realm of the sword heart to be clear, there is only one sword in the heart, and there are no external objects, the person who can reach this state must be a person with a firm heart, and will never be easily confused by other things.
The unity of man and sword is the ultimate comprehension of the sword, and the entire Luan dust world has only been reached by Luo Li back then, even if there is no sword in his hand, he has a sword in his heart, which can break the world.
Xue Binglan opened the first form of the Frost Condensing Sword Technique, and before she learned the first form, her back was covered with a layer of fog, which made it impossible to spy on, which was the protection of Han Ling's master for his apprentice.
If you don't learn the first form, and you forcibly learn the next one, the light ones will damage the foundation, and the heavy ones will go crazy, and eventually get lost in the world of the sword until the soul dissipates.
Xue Binglan calmed down, pulled out the sword that Han Ling gave her, and danced the first style, the sword moves at the beginning, the dance was still very soft, it had a gradual process, only when it was mastered later, the sword moves would gradually become sharper.
Xue Binglan, who was a beginner in the frost swordsmanship, was not yet proficient in her movements, she kept repeating the actions of chopping, slashing, and stabbing, and at the same time, her divine sense tried to communicate with the sword jade in the dantian, trying to resonate with it, but to her disappointment, the sword jade was quietly in the dantian, without any reaction.
Xue Binglan was not discouraged, she practiced the most basic moves over and over again, and she practiced for half a year, during which she did nothing, and only repeated the basic movements every day.
One day, Yun Feng passed by, and saw Xue Binglan splitting, chopping, and stabbing every day, and couldn't help but ask: "Sister, I saw you practicing these three movements on the first day, why are you still these three now?"
Xue Binglan stopped what she was doing, walked to Yun Feng's side, and replied with a light smile: "Xiao Yun Feng, this is the foundation of the sword move, if the foundation is not laid well, how can you do the follow-up?"
Yun Feng nodded as if he didn't understand.
She knew one thing very well, the composition of any sword move was evolved from these basic movements, and after so many months of practice, Xue Binglan felt that she was now faster and more fluid in her movements.
She is already fully proficient in the foundation of the first type of sword moves, and now she has begun to learn sword moves, others learn sword techniques, and they all practice sword moves directly, but Xue Binglan is different, she has practiced the foundation for so long, although it is slow, but the benefits are not comparable to those who practice sword moves directly.
Now that she has learned the sword move, she has twice the result with half the effort in terms of efficiency, the whole set of actions is like water, and the sword heart that was silent in her dantian shook slightly, Xue Binglan felt it, she was excited, it seems that such a long time of practice has not been in vain, and it has already had a trace of effect.
Xue Binglan had spent half a year practicing the basic moves, and another half a year practicing the first style of sword moves, and now she couldn't wait to try her one-year results, she thought of her master, and walked to his residence.
"Master, the apprentice has learned the first form of the Frost Condensing Sword Technique, and I have come to ask the master for advice. After Xue Binglan entered the door, she raised her sword and saluted Han Ling, her face showing anticipation.
"Oh, have you really learned?" Han Ling gave an elusive smile, got up and stood up, took out a sword of the same grade from the storage ring, and said:
"As a teacher, I will press my cultivation to the same level as you, let's see how well you have mastered this year. ”
Xue Binglan and Han Ling went to the open space on the edge of the Enlightenment Wall, originally she only wanted to ask Han Ling for advice on the nearby peak, but Han Ling had a special intention, and specially asked to go to the Enlightenment Wall to guide Xue Binglan.
"Binglan, let's take out the sword. Han Ling raised his sword and motioned for Xue Binglan to start.
"Offended, Master. ”
Xue Binglan used a sword move and stabbed at Han Ling, only to see Han Ling put the sword in front of her chest, and with a slight block, she easily defused her attack, Xue Binglan did not stop there, and just wanted to raise her sword.
"Smack. Her sword was knocked down with a slight flick from Han Ling.
"Come again!" Xue Binglan was not convinced, picked up the sword again and stabbed it.
However, every time Xue Binglan stabbed out a sword to retract it for the next attack, the sword was knocked down by Han Ling.
It wasn't until after several failures that Xue Binglan didn't pick up the sword directly for the last time, but stood aside and fell silent.
"Do you find your own problem now?" Han Ling withdrew his sword and looked at Xue Binglan with a smile, waiting for her answer.
"Shizun is very fast every time he draws his sword, and there are no superfluous movements, and I expose my loopholes to Shizun every time. Xue Binglan recalled the trick with Han Ling and answered him seriously.
"Yes, that's true, do you know why the teacher brought you to the Enlightenment Wall to guide you?"
"Apprentice guesses, maybe the master wants to let me feel the sword marks left on this enlightenment wall by the sword qi after I am defeated?" Xue Binglan paused for a moment, staring at the enlightenment wall and replied to Han Ling.
"Then what can you see from this enlightenment wall?" Han Ling did not answer Xue Binglan's answer whether it was right or wrong, but chose to let her feel it herself.
Xue Binglan carefully looked at the sword marks on the wall of enlightenment, stared at it for about ten minutes, and then closed her eyes, recalling the feeling of fighting against Han Ling, and suddenly, the sword jade in the dantian was completely connected with her divine sense!
Xue Binglan realized, it turned out that this was the so-called sword qi, the sword shape realm! What she used at the beginning seemed to be a sword shape, but in fact it was only a superficial move, lacking a sense of agility, so every time she took out the sword, she was full of loopholes, and she cared too much about the layer on the surface of the sword move, but ignored its essence.
"Master, apprentice, please come again!"
"It seems that I have understood, come, take out the sword!" Han Ling could see that Xue Binglan's eyes were clear this time, he didn't mistake her from the beginning, and he couldn't help but praise her in his heart.
Xue Binglan once again took out her sword, this time her movements were no longer as stiff as at the beginning, they were more agile and full of charm, her moves seemed to be soft and weak, but the sword was sharp, and her attack made Han Ling take a few steps back.
Through this perception, Xue Binglan made her completely activate the sword jade, she realized the realm of the sword shape, Han Ling was constantly retreating, and she used another sword, this sword shot, with sword energy, straight to Han Ling.
Han Ling suppressed the cultivation, he saw Xue Binglan's sword attacking, secretly improved the cultivation to the foundation building period, and took a move with sword energy.
He was secretly glad in his heart, this demonic apprentice was really terrifying, if he didn't secretly improve his cultivation, he would definitely lose face in front of the apprentice just now.
Xue Binglan became more and more excited, and when she was about to make another sword, Han Ling immediately stopped her, and said shamelessly: "Hey, apprentice stop, yes, very good, you have already comprehended the sword form, hehe." ”
What Han Ling didn't dare to say was that he secretly improved his cultivation to catch that sword qi, and if he wanted to do it again, he would definitely be discovered by his own apprentice that he had improved his cultivation, in this case, where would his old face go.
Although Han Ling suppressed his cultivation to the tenth level of Qi refining, his true cultivation was the Great Perfection of the Yuan Infant Stage after all, but now he had to forcibly improve his cultivation to take Xue Binglan's sword, and he looked up to her a few points higher in his heart.
