Chapter 22 If Master can do it, there's no reason why I can't.
Hua Wanzi stood several feet away, sword in hand, her white clothes blending seamlessly with the snow, waiting for Shi Zhongyu to attack.
"Uncle-Master, be careful!"
Before Shi Zhongyu could finish speaking, he had already taken off.
The longsword trembled slightly, and a move called "Falling Snow" was slowly delivered. The sword's momentum was gentle, yet it concealed an intention to seek an opportunity.
Hua Wanzi's eyes lit up when she saw Shi Zhongyu draw his sword.
When did this kid become so skilled with his sword?
Her knowledge of Shi Zhongyu's swordsmanship was still at the beginner level.
Seeing Shi Zhongyu skillfully use the Falling Snow technique today, she secretly admired him.
He deserves praise, but compared to those disciples who have been studying for a long time, he is still far behind.
Hua Wanzi's thoughts shifted, her toes barely touching the snow, her figure drifting like a plum blossom, lightly clearing the path of the sword.
At the same time, she casually pointed at Shi Zhongyu.
"The sword technique is too upright and not tricky enough. The Snow Mountain Sword Technique should take an unconventional approach and be light and agile."
"Having received guidance, Snow Mountain Sword Technique proficiency +5."
Shi Zhongyu understood immediately. With a flick of his wrist, his sword technique changed instantly. He swiftly thrust out the Plum Blossom Sword, his body sweeping diagonally to seize the opening.
Hua Wanzi remained calm and composed. With a slight twist of her waist and a backward lean, she narrowly avoided the sword tip, the snowflakes brushing past her temple.
He also pointed out the jade in the stone once again.
"Movement should be fluid, not just about running around following the sword. You should use your steps to guide the sword and your dodges to lead the attack."
"Having received guidance, Snow Mountain Sword Technique proficiency +5."
Shi Zhongyu's mind raced. He gathered his inner strength, spun around, and swung his sword horizontally. The frost-like blade swept out with a cold wind, its circular motion sealing off any possible escape routes.
Hua Wanzi suddenly leaped up, lightly touching the top of his sword with her toes, using the momentum to soar into the air and land back on the snow without disturbing a speck of dust.
She kept pointing out, "You have plenty of room to maneuver, but your foundation is weak. If the rocky foundation were just a little more stable, this sword strike could have sealed off my retreat."
"Your swordplay must not only be in harmony with your body movements, but also with your stance training!"
"Having received guidance, Snow Mountain Sword Technique proficiency +5."
Shi Zhongyu remained calm, his moves faster than the last, unleashing a series of attacks including Falling Snow, Seeking Plum Blossoms, and Brushing Frost, his sword flashing and his movements agile.
No matter how he changed his moves or increased his speed, Hua Wanzi always dodged with ease, weaving through the sword light as if her feet never touched the ground.
She was clearly holding a sword, but she never drew it, nor did she move her hands at all.
After several rapid attacks, Shi Zhongyu's breathing became slightly labored.
Upon seeing this, the myriad flowers gracefully distanced themselves.
"Let's take a break before we come back!"
Shi Zhongyu sheathed his sword and stood there, filled with both respect and admiration.
He looked at Hua Wanzi with admiration and said, "Master Hua's movement techniques are profound, far beyond what I can compare to!"
Hua Wanzi was praised and felt pleased, but her face showed no emotion.
However, the slight upturn of her lips betrayed her thoughts.
"As long as you practice diligently, you won't be any worse than me in the future!"
Shi Zhongyu chuckled inwardly; these words sounded like a teacher coaxing a child.
He wasn't flattering Hua Wanzi; he genuinely admired her.
Hua Wanzi just instructed him in the Snow Mountain Sword Technique, which gave him a full 35 points of proficiency.
This is just the beginning of the guidance.
Proficient in Snow Mountain Swordsmanship (90/300).
You are 210 proficiency points away from reaching the next level of mastery.
After resting for a while, Shi Zhongyu picked up his iron sword again.
"Uncle-Master, let's continue!"
Hua Wanzi nodded slightly.
"One more round, and it'll be almost time for breakfast!"
"bring it on!"
This time, Hua Wanzi drew her long sword.
When she saw Shi Zhongyu attacking, her eyes brightened slightly.
She could sense that Shi Zhongyu's swordsmanship had improved again.
This kid is truly a prodigy; he hasn't disappointed her guidance at all.
The three beginner techniques of Stone Jade are used in turn.
Hua Wanzi accepted the gifts while simultaneously offering guidance on how to exit.
Shi Zhongyu rapidly absorbed the knowledge of sword techniques, and his proficiency in the Snow Mountain Sword Technique increased dramatically.
"Having received guidance, Snow Mountain Sword Technique proficiency +5."
"I received guidance..."
Shi Zhongyu discovered that practicing swordsmanship himself was the foundation for improving his swordsmanship proficiency.
With guidance from others, his swordsmanship proficiency also improved.
The fastest way is to get tips from others.
This improvement in swordsmanship proficiency made Shi Zhongyu somewhat obsessed.
Hua Wanzi accompanied Shi Zhongyu in practicing swordsmanship and was shocked to discover that the boy's swordsmanship was constantly improving.
It seems like there are no barriers to entry.
She was happy that her senior brother had such a disciple, and she became even more attentive in giving him guidance.
time flies.
A bell rang out.
Shi Zhongyu also just used up his last move.
Seeing this, Hua Wanzi used her sword to draw Shi Zhongyu's sword away.
That's all for now!
"According to the rules of our Snow Mountain Sect, all disciples must have breakfast in the dining hall during breakfast time!"
Shi Zhongyu sheathed his sword and clasped his hands in gratitude.
"Go and have your meal!"
"After dinner, I'll take you somewhere else!"
After Hua Wanzi finished speaking, she turned and left.
Shi Zhongyu glanced at the Snow Mountain Sword Technique again.
Proficient in Snow Mountain Swordsmanship (125/300).
He enjoys this tangible and perceptible improvement.
During breakfast, Shi Zhongyu naturally noticed the gazes of the other disciples.
No one came over to talk to him, which pleased Shi Zhongyu.
After breakfast, Shi Zhongyu followed Hua Wanzi to an ice cave in the back mountain.
"Starting today, you also need to improve your internal strength."
"There is a training ground in the back mountain that, although not as good as a secret chamber, can still help you train much faster."
"But... you have to be able to withstand the cold."
Hua Wanzi pointed to the ice cave as she spoke.
"From now on, you will practice your skills in this ice cave!"
Shi Zhongyu gazed at the ice cave.
The ice cave is not small; it can accommodate two people.
Layers of icicles hung upside down on the outside.
Let's go!
As Hua Wanzi spoke, she used her sword to break off a layer of hanging icicles and led Shi Zhongyu inside.
The cave is extremely spacious, with all four walls made of solid ice, and countless icicles of varying lengths hanging from the ceiling, like swords and cones.
Shi Zhongyu was somewhat worried that the icicles would fall.
"Don't worry, as long as you don't practice your sword here, they won't fall down."
As Hua Wanzi spoke, she pointed to a piece of bluestone.
"Why don't you sit on it and try it out!"
Shi Zhongyu followed his instructions and went to the bluestone
As soon as he sat down cross-legged and his body touched the stone, he suddenly shivered.
This blue stone has been in this ice cave for countless years, and it has long been soaked in the cold air, as cold as a piece of ancient black iron.
As Shi Zhongyu sat on it, he felt a bone-chilling cold rush up his tailbone, instantly freezing his skin.
The chill emanating from the blue stone seeped into his clothes, and soon Shi Zhongyu's jaw trembled slightly.
Seeing this, Hua Wanzi reminded him, "Activate your inner cultivation technique!"
Shi Zhongyu dared not be negligent and forced himself to concentrate on circulating his internal energy.
As he circulated his energy, the chilling aura from the bluestone seeped into his dantian.
In an instant, it collided with the cold energy of the Snow Mountain Heart Sutra that he had just activated within his body.
The two chills clashed, instantly making the hairs on his body stand on end.
Hang in there!
Hua Wanzi spoke up again to remind him.
Shi Zhongyu dared not be distracted and continued to circulate his internal energy.
As he circulated his internal energy, the chill gradually attached itself to the cold energy he was circulating and merged into his dantian.
The chilling aura of the Snow Mountain Sect's internal cultivation method was already astonishing, and now the chilling aura of the bluestone was added to it.
Shi Zhongyu's lips turned blue in no time, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
Upon seeing this, Hua Wanzi said calmly, "This blue stone was where your master practiced martial arts back then."
"It's not as good as a properly prepared secret chamber, so practicing here will be a bit more painful."
Is it merely a matter of a little pain?
Shi Zhongyu felt the chill seep into his bones, as if he were about to freeze.
He remembered that Hua Wanzi said his master had also practiced martial arts here.
If Master can do it, there's no reason why he can't.
