253 Are We Really Exchanging Pointers?
As for little Senior Sister Chi Yan, because of her spiritual Qi attribute, she cultivated other techniques. Dong Xi might not be able to defeat Master Yijian, but with Eldest Senior Brother, she might be able to put up a fight.
Dong Xi took the wooden sword she used in the Sword Sect and went to the cave abode of the Eldest Senior Brother.
Liang Yan looked at the girl in front of him and frowned. He said, “Are you really sparring?”
“Of course,” Dong Xi said. “But we’ll only compare notes on swordsmanship without using spiritual Qi. We’ll only compare notes on what Master Yijian taught us. What do you think, Eldest Senior Brother?”
Liang Yan was speechless.
So that’s what this little girl is like. I wonder where she got the courage to think that she can spar with Liang Yan.
With different levels of cultivation, one’s understanding of swordsmanship would also be different. Liang Yan was already at the late Golden Core stage, two major cultivation realms higher than Dong Xi.
“Sure, no problem,” Liang Yan nodded.
Liang Yan did not say much. He would just use sparring to talk later.
Dong Xi was holding a wooden sword, and Liang Yan was naturally holding a wooden sword as well. The two of them stood facing each other.
“Senior Brother, I won’t hesitate then!” Dong Xi said.
Liang Yan was speechless.
What? Why did this girl say her own lines? Who should be the one to be impolite?
Before Liang Yan could think clearly, Dong Xi had already rushed over.
Liang Yan could tell that this was the first move of the sword technique.
However, why was Dong Xi’s starting stance different from the previous ones?
Liang Yan furrowed his brows and thought to himself, ‘This little girl has already made the wrong move, and she still wants to spar? Since she had rushed over, as her Senior Brother, I have to give her some guidance.’
Dong Xi looked at her Senior Brother’s cool opening move and sighed in her heart.
As expected, Liang Yan also shared Dong Xi’s previous flaw. Such a gaudy but hollow starting move was really useless. It had nothing to do with the first move, it just looked good.
The two of them attacked at the same time. Liang Yan was shocked to find that the little girl was faster than him.
The two wooden swords collided, but Dong Xi’s sword move was pulled away in time, making a feint.
Liang Yan looked at Dong Xi curiously. He quickly reacted and sent Dong Xi flying with her sword.
The instant Dong Xi was sent flying, she flipped over and landed on the ground. She was not surprised in the slightest.
No matter what, Eldest Senior Brother was also a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, so it was very normal that she could not beat him.
Instead, it was Liang Yan who kept his sword and said, “You said that you’ll use the same sword move, but yours seems to be different?”
“I’ve improved it,” said Dong Xi. “What do you think? Is it okay?”
When Liang Yan heard this, he was shocked.
“You’re quite bold, aren’t you?” Liang Yan said.
Master Yijian was also using this sword technique, but little Junior Sister had actually modified it?
Although Eldest Senior Brother said it tactfully, Dong Xi heard it clearly.
This time, Dong Xi did not laugh and said with a serious face, “Senior brother, although I’m young and my cultivation is low, I know one thing… Learning isn’t a rigid thing. What others are suitable for might not be suitable for you, don’t you think so?”
Liang Yan frowned and looked at Dong Xi. “You’re the only young and reasonable person I’ve ever met.”
Dong Xi said with a smile, “Don’t doubt it. The opening move you used just now was just for show. There’s no other use. The first move is to draw the sword in front of the chest, but you have to put it behind the back. This doesn’t match the first move. Moreover, when you attacked just now, you should have realized that the bigger the movement of the sword, the slower the speed…”
When Liang Yan heard this, he pondered for a long time before he nodded and said, “You’re right, but the creator of this sword technique is a mighty figure with profound cultivation. His understanding of the sword technique is higher than ours. If you can discover it, he is definitely aware of it as well.”
“That’s right.” Dong Xi nodded and said, “It’s also adapted to the local conditions. Perhaps the swordsmanship created by our senior is suitable for him alone? It’s also possible that he’s cultivated some kind of movement technique or has some powerful body fortification technique, so he doesn’t need to have as many scruples as we do. Perhaps our senior just needs to strike out with power.”
This time, Liang Yan did not say anything. After thinking about it once more, he realized that Dong Xi’s words made sense.
“Senior Brother, think about it carefully,” Dong Xi continued.
Liang Yan pondered for a long time before he raised his wooden sword again and said, “Junior Sister, let’s try again.”
“Then I’ll show you the results of my recent comprehension, Senior Brother,” Dong Xi raised the wooden sword in her hand and said.
Liang Yan was right. The higher one’s cultivation, the better one’s comprehension of swordsmanship.
Therefore, in Liang Yan’s eyes, his Junior Sister’s sword technique which had been improved was indeed lacking in many flaws.
Dong Xi had been sent flying seven times by Liang Yan. Fortunately, Dong Xi’s body-tempering had not fallen behind. Although Dong Xi was panting heavily, she was not so tired that she could not lift her sword.
