After eating the breakfast cooked by Snow Monster No. 4, Xia Feng was very depressed and a little aggrieved at the same time.

To be honest, now if he puts a steel bar in front of him, he can also cut it with a knife, but Xiao Yunye just put a stick of incense for him to split, and he has to cut it constantly.

Of course, Xia Feng was very aware of the importance of this exercise, but after practicing it one morning, he didn't succeed once.

In order to vent the strength in his heart, Xia Feng went directly to his second uncle's house in the morning, picked up an axe and helped his second uncle chop all the firewood in the yard.

.....

Learning swordsmanship is not an overnight thing, it requires perseverance to penetrate stones, and Xia Feng realized his gap.

The black-and-white twins' plug-in is certainly strong, but his own cultivation is too far behind.

It's like putting an AK47 in the hands of a monkey and it can beat a lion or a tiger with a mouse, but if you put an AK47 in the hands of a special soldier, he can conquer the entire forest.

He himself is now a monkey who has acquired the plug-in, but in order to continue to grow stronger, he needs to evolve his body.

....

Of course, getting stronger as an individual is not the most important thing for Xia Feng at the moment, and he can't devote all his time and energy to practicing day after day.

This is not the Stone Age, the world of Terra has its order, no one can shake a country by himself, as for the benefits of becoming stronger, it only increases the tolerance rate in his actions.

Therefore, he can only shrink the long-term plan and set a small goal first.

That is, in the ten days before the start of the sword competition, try to achieve as little as possible.

....

And just like that, Xia Feng's assault training plan began.

Every morning at 5 o'clock, he would be in the yard on time to receive Xiao Yunye's guidance and practice until breakfast.

In the morning, he will deal with various matters in the source stone business, and try to ensure the concealment and safety of source stone processing during this extraordinary period.

Except for a few very trusted customers such as Inan Xue and Haimen Gang, the remaining customers must change hands twice before they can send the source stone for processing, that is, he does not allow anyone to know the specific city of the source stone processing point.

As for the source stones purchased by the Rat in Casimir, they were transported by Nanfeng from the Chamber of Commerce in Notting City, and they had to be their own people throughout the whole process.

This is done to ensure that no outsider can know about the Victorian active stone private processing channels.

Even if you know that there are illegal processing dens in Victoria, you don't know which city they are in.

Even if you know which city it is, you don't know where it is.

Even if you know the specific location, you don't know who this processing den really belongs to.

The surroundings of Harpy City are all his territory, coupled with the strict control in the operation, he can basically detect the appearance of the abnormality at the first time, and make an "emergency evacuation" response.

.....

During the day, Xia Feng would personally handle business matters, and until sunset, he would devote himself to swordsmanship training again.

In this way, training in the morning, handling business during the day, and training again in the evening, Xia Feng has never experienced such a regular and fulfilling life since he came to Victoria.

.....

After a few days, Xia Feng's performance in several basic training sessions also improved, in Xiao Yunye's words.

Xia Feng is very talented.

In the training of chopping water droplets, Xia Feng can already try to close his eyes and feel the trajectory of water droplets with his heart.

Of course, the success rate of closing the eyes is less than 30%.

As for chopping incense continuously, he can already cut at least one gap on the same incense, of course, dozens of times to succeed once.

This is just the basic training of the sword skill [Sadness and Autumn Leaving the Rain], which is commonly known as the basic skill, and Xiao Yunye has not revealed the specific form of this sword skill.

.....

In the evening of the day.

Xia Feng was in the courtyard again, repeating and repeating the incense cutting training.

Xiao Yunye patiently stood aside to supervise and guide, and gave some theoretical suggestions based on Xia Feng's physique.

"Control your breathing, don't let success or failure affect your state of mind, each swing is independent, when you master the full rhythm of each swing, try to make it coherent and combine it into a combo."

Sweat slid down Xia Feng's cheeks, his expression did not slack off, and every blow was extremely serious.

"Whew! Swish! ”

The Shenyue Knife brought two cold rays of light, and the burning incense in front of him did not tremble in the slightest, but on the incense body, the two half-cut marks that entered the body had clearly emerged.

Seeing Xia Feng's first successful second consecutive slash, Xiao Yunye nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, you seem to have the hang of it, and it's the first time I've seen someone grow so much in such a short period of time."

Xia Feng smiled with satisfaction.

"It's better to be taught by Xiao Ye."

In fact, Xia Feng knew in his heart that this kind of martial arts wizard-like performance had nothing to do with his personal talent.

The Black and White Twins changed his physique, making him very strong and reflexes, which led him to skip most of the steps at the beginning.

If every beginner swordsman is compared to a stone, the first thing a swordsman needs to do is to refine himself into a diamond.

And he, in his own right, has already turned into a piece of diamond, which does not need to be refined, all that remains is polishing and carving.

....

Xiao Yunye handed over a towel.

"Let's take a break and wipe our sweat."

"Okay."

Inside the courtyard, the cold wind of the night blows.

Xia Feng and Xiao Yunye sat on a small stool made of bamboo strips and chatted.

"Xiao Ye, since I met you, why haven't I seen you use a real sword?"

Xiao Yunye's tone was indifferent.

"In Xiao's eyes, weapons only have two meanings of existence, one is to protect, and the other is to kill the enemy for the will of the master, but these two meanings are meaningless to Xiao now."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Even if I don't use a sword, I can protect the people I want to protect, as for the will to kill the enemy, Xiao no longer has it."

Xia Feng understood these words, Xiao Yunye said that the clouds were light and light, but the general meaning should be.

[Now there is no one in this world who is worthy of me to pick up a real sword. 】

But having said that, Xia Feng still had some expectations for Xiao Ye to really hold the sword.

He looked curious.

"Master Xiao, haven't you had a sword with you for so many years? Why don't I give you a handful? It's a souvenir. ”

Xiao Yunye chuckled and denied.

"No, the sword I always have with me, it's in the box."

Xia Feng immediately remembered that when he first saw Xiao Yunye, he had been carrying an oversized suitcase in his hand after Sheena.

After moving to the barbecue restaurant, this suitcase has also been placed in Xiao Yunye's room.

"I see."

Since the sword was mentioned, Xia Feng was naturally very interested, so he continued to ask.

"Master Xiao, what does that sword of yours look like? It must be amazing. ”

Xiao Yunye replied calmly.

"My sword is nothing special, it's not a magic weapon, it's just an ordinary sword handed down from my ancestors."

"Then the sword must have a name, right?"

"Well, the name is there, and it is engraved on the sword, the name of this sword is the same as the sect founded by my ancestors, it is called Qingyun Sword."

Now Xiao Yunye has nothing to do with Qingyunmen in order to accompany Xina to travel the world, because he has no children and no daughters in his life, and Qingyunmen, who has lost his lineage, has long existed in name only.

But when it comes to the sect founded by his ancestors, Xiao Yunye's expression still shows pride and yearning.

"In the era when my ancestors existed, the Yan Kingdom was in turmoil, and there was no such thing as the first in the world in the martial arts, but my ancestor Xiao Li, with one person and a sword, turbulent the entire Yan Kingdom, and with the power of one person, he created the Qingyunmen, the head of the seven major sects at that time, and was respected by all the people in the martial arts, the Great Sword Saint Xiao Li."
