Fairy, return my flying sword to me

Chapter 10 Looking for trouble
Haruyuki doesn't need to sleep, but he can enjoy sleeping.

Now that I'm awake, I have no interest in going back to sleep. I can hear faint rustling sounds outside the house.

There are people outside the house... There can't be anyone else except in the woods.

It’s so late, and you’re still practicing?
Haruyuki tiptoed towards the window stealthily.

The simple wooden window could not block the female swordsman's peeping. Her big watery eyes looked curiously at the figure in the courtyard outside the window through the small hole.

The young man's movements were agile and quick as a startled wild goose, moving back and forth in the courtyard as fast as lightning.

Even simple obstacles such as buckets, tables and chairs were deliberately arranged in the yard, and the boy's body moved around among them.

But after only two rounds, the figure would stop and cast the spell again.

This is a process of mastering the technique.

The simulation in jade is ultimately just a simulation of runes. In reality, if you want to perform a spell, you always need to connect the entire spell-casting steps together.

This step must be done as quickly as possible to be of use in actual combat.

Otherwise, if you cast a spell and stand there for three to five minutes, do you think your opponents are all dummies?

Only when one is proficient in runes to the point where one can carve them in a single breath can one be said to have truly mastered the technique corresponding to this rune.

This takes a lot of time.

After watching the practice works in the forest, Chunxue thought about it and finally didn't think that the talent of this ordinary cultivator he met by chance would be higher than his own.

In the field of runes, it is normal to occasionally have some lucky inspirations, just like the example of myself who once encountered a more difficult rune but successfully mastered it in less time.

But right now, Haruyuki had a feeling that this might not be luck or inspiration.

Lin Jian was very skilled and quick.

Incredibly fast.

I had just learned it yesterday, but today I have already reached the level where I can barely use it in actual combat.

The duration of the spell hovered around ten breaths, and with practice, this time became shorter and shorter...

The figures in the yard are swift and agile, and the spring snow in the house is wandering in the void.

She still remembered how he came back exhausted to continue practicing sword, and how he resolutely completed the Zhoutian breathing exercises even when she was feeling sleepy.

Now... I have woken up from a nap, and this guy is still taking time to practice magic.

Won't he be tired?
Haruyuki was so lost in thought that he didn't even notice that the figure in the courtyard had finished his practice.

"Squeak~"

The wooden door opened and the moonlight streamed in.

Lin Jian looked at the female swordsman crouching by the window, peeping, and asked with amusement, "Did we wake Haruyuki-sama?"

"Ahem!" Haruyuki straightened up, hands on his hips. "Didn't you say this technique was difficult?"

You say it's difficult, but secretly you mastered it so quickly. Are you trying to make me laugh at Haruyuki-sama?

Its heart is awkward!

"Isn't this difficult?" Lin Jian thought that Sword Immortals were Sword Immortals and couldn't understand the difficulties faced by ordinary people. "My previous spells could only be practiced for one night at most, but I've been practicing this spell for two days and I still can't use it instantly. I'll probably have to practice for a few more nights. It's ruining my sleep... Yawn~"

Lin Jian stretched out his arms and walked towards his bed. "I'm going to rest now. Please do as you please, Haruyuki-sama."

Lin Jian got on the bed and sat cross-legged in meditation.

He was in the late stage of Qi Refining and had limited Qi in his body. The exercise just now had consumed all of his Qi. If he didn't replenish his Qi in time when it was deficient, the natural loss of his Qi limit would be faster than usual.

Not to mention that I will have to spend time replenishing my true energy during tomorrow's morning class, wasting the hard-earned time for practicing the Spirit Gathering Array.

Feeling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gradually flowing into myself through constant breathing, the spirit in the forest that was practicing gradually relaxed.

Mastering the ability to breathe and cultivate true qi in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness until perfection is also one of the most important foundations for being an immortal.

Falling asleep in the forest...

Early the next morning.

“It’s another energetic day!”

Lin Jian splashed cold water on his face and walked towards the Soul Gathering Square in the cold mountain breeze of the early morning.

On the road, figures could be seen gathering in groups of three or four from various places. When these fellow disciples saw the forest, they were inevitably startled and whispered to each other. "He dares to come?"

"He didn't take Junior Brother Bai's words seriously at all yesterday."

"How shameless! You only know how to drag down your fellow disciples."

The sound pierced Lin Jian's ears directly.

A burly physical training disciple shook his chest muscles and deliberately walked towards the woods.

The Gathering Spirit Square is guarded by the sect elders, but the entire main peak may not be guarded by the sect elders everywhere.

Minor private disputes among fellow disciples usually don't cause a big fuss, not to mention that this "senior brother" probably doesn't have any backing in the sect now.

He decided to teach this "senior brother" a lesson so that he would know when to stop and not delay the practice of other fellow disciples.

The mountain path is rugged, but it is not narrow due to the development of the sect.

Realizing that the other party was approaching deliberately, Lin Jian's right hand, which was behind his back, silently began to make hand gestures of magic and sighed slightly.

"I told you this technique is troublesome!"

"I say, Senior Brother Lin..." The physical training junior brother stood like a small mountain across the road in the forest. Before he could finish his words, he was caught off guard by a crisp sound.

"Snapped!"

So close……

So loud...

Mixed with burning pain.

It took the physical training junior brother a while to realize what had happened in his smooth brain, and he couldn't even hold back the expression of finding fault on his face.

He dares to hit me?

He dared to hit me first!
I haven't started yet!

Whether it was the anger from being humiliated or a natural reaction after being hit, his whole face turned red instantly and he stretched out his big hand to grab the figure of "Senior Brother" who was passing by him.

Before everyone's cultivation level reaches a certain level, the strength of the early physical cultivation is among the highest among all cultivators.

Good physique, strong strength and fast speed.

The most important thing is that it can be activated at any time without being restricted by external objects. At this moment, if he faces a sword cultivator without a sword in his hand, wouldn't he be beaten like a chicken?

However, the big hand grabbed nothing, and seemed to have only touched the edges of the clothes vaguely.

This is because the other party did not withdraw directly.

A shadow flashed before the eyes of the physical training junior brother, and a familiar and crisp sound came to his ears again.

"Snapped!"

Another slap!

"Now it's symmetrical." Lin Jian looked at the two bright red slap marks on his junior brother's face with satisfaction, and couldn't help shaking his hands, "Physical cultivators are just thick-skinned..."

The figure did not stop while speaking, and with a light step he flew out in an instant.

Seeing this scene, the figures on both sides were all stunned and stood there.

"what?"

"what?"

"what?"

Is this relaxed and graceful figure the "senior brother" they are familiar with?

Didn’t they say that the eldest senior brother has been practicing for eight years and is still refining his Qi, and as a sword cultivator he can’t even afford a flying sword? What’s going on now?
The physical training junior brother stood alone there, looking at the receding figure at a loss.

"What did I do wrong this time? I want to ask you."

Before I could finish my words, I was slapped twice!
"I will isolate you! Take everyone with me!" Zhu Xutai covered his face and cried at the almost invisible figure.

In the distance, Junior Brother Bai peeked out from the corner of the mountain road. His youthful yet serious face was filled with confusion. "Divine Speed?"
