Peerless Tang Sect: Becoming a God Through Medicine

Chapter 26 Ji Juechen's Teachings, Sword
Ji Juechen now believes it.

It turns out that when Lin Nuo said he rarely fought, he wasn't being modest; it was the absolute truth.

Thinking of this, Ji Juechen slightly restrained his sharp sword energy, no longer aiming to defeat his opponent, but instead treating Lin Nuo as himself when he was still learning swordsmanship, and from his perspective, treating Lin Nuo as a student and teaching him seriously.

Although Lin Nuo's head had become pointed, he could still tell that Ji Juechen hadn't used his full strength; instead, it seemed like he was feeding him some moves.

He didn't understand why Ji Juechen would do this, but he cooperated by restraining his soul power and began to learn Ji Juechen's swordsmanship.

Neither of them spoke. The only sounds in the training room were the disordered footsteps, the clanging of two swords clashing, and their breathing, which was almost completely drowned out by the two sounds.

It must be said that Ji Juechen is truly a good teacher.

Although he didn't speak, he accurately saw Lin Nuo's shortcomings and weaknesses, and used his sword to show Lin Nuo, turning Lin Nuo from someone who was initially clumsy and could only swing and thrust stiffly into someone who became agile and lively.

fantastic.

While the pointed head made Lin Nuo's mind a bit out of step with the version, it also gave him extremely strong intuition, even instinct, in combat.

He had felt this way before when he lived alone in the Jingyang Mountains, but he hadn't felt it for a long time since he came to Mingdu and joined the academy.

Lin Nuo didn't have the energy to think about these things; he was now completely absorbed in wielding his sword.

Every time Ji Juechen deflected his sword at a tricky angle, he could find more of his shortcomings and then make up for them in battle, making himself more skilled in combat.

As time went on, the sound of swords clashing became increasingly rapid.

The two swords, one azure and the other iron-gray, seemed to draw dazzling streaks of light in the training room, causing the room's lights to shimmer.

Looking at Lin Nuo, who was focused on his sword despite being drenched in sweat, Ji Juechen was momentarily lost in thought, and unconsciously increased the force of his sword swing.

Clang——

The azure longsword broke in two, and Ji Juechen's meteorite iron sword stopped in front of Lin Nuo.

Because Lin Nuo was too engrossed in swordsmanship, he forgot to input his soul power to maintain the longsword's permanent state, which led to it being broken by Ji Juechen's meteorite iron sword during a prolonged collision.

Unlike Lin Nuo, Ji Juechen always attached his martial soul and soul power to the meteorite iron sword, so his meteorite iron sword was fine, while Lin Nuo's blue silver sword broke.

Holding half a longsword, Lin Nuo also woke up from his previous state of oblivion, and then heard Ji Juechen's voice.

"That's enough for today. I'll challenge you again next time."

Ji Juechen turned and left.

His reason for being willing to help Lin Nuo was simple.

Lin Nuo found him a new way out, which changed his mind.

He wouldn't hesitate to help Lin Nuo embark on a new path. Besides, the path of the sword is too lonely; he's the only one in the entire Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. If Lin Nuo also walks this path, he'll have another like-minded person to exchange ideas with in the future.

With Lin Nuo around, he probably won't lack opponents to fight in the future.

"Thanks, Lao Ji." Lin Nuo caught his breath and called out to Ji Juechen with a smile.

Ji Juechen paused slightly, but without turning around, he waved to Lin Nuo with his back to her, then opened the door and walked out of the training room.

Glancing at the time, Lin Nuo realized there was still about an hour before the training room session. He quickly reconstituted a blue-silver sword and began to slowly and resolutely swing it at the air. During their sparring session, Lin Nuo had sensed Ji Juechen's unwavering swordsmanship and the solitary feeling of that unique sword in the world.

But this is Ji Juechen's path, not his.

Therefore, Lin Nuo did not delve too deeply into understanding Ji Juechen's sword intent. Instead, he repeatedly recalled the moments when Ji Juechen repeatedly exploited his weaknesses, and then examined his own shortcomings from different perspectives.

One year with a knife, ten years with a sword, a lifetime with a gun.

While swordsmanship is not as difficult as spearmanship, mastering it is not an easy task either.

Lin Nuo was very lucky. As soon as he started learning swordsmanship, he was taught by the genius Ji Juechen. He was like a child who had just received a new toy, and he was happy to swing the long sword in his hand.

Only when the training room time signal sounded did Lin Nuo put down his longsword and let out a long, satisfying sigh.

Even though it was just random, unstructured practice, Lin Nuo was still happy. Ji Juechen was a self-taught practitioner, so he could only teach Lin Nuo in a self-taught way, but that didn't matter.

Every great swordsman started out as a self-taught practitioner.

What's important is the unwavering dedication to the sword in one's heart.

"While I may not be particularly committed to swordsmanship, I am certainly very interested in it."

This is Lin Nuo's attitude. He treats swordsmanship as a combat ability, as a skill for using a weapon, but unlike Ji Juechen, he does not regard the sword as the only thing in his life.

"I'll come find him again next time!"

The next day, Lin Nuo continued practicing swordsmanship, but instead of going to the training room, he practiced in the courtyard of his villa.

Pick, stab, chop, slash, entwine, tease...

He wielded his longsword again and again, tirelessly.

Lin Nuo stopped what he was doing and turned to look when he heard the sound of the courtyard gate being opened.

"Huh, Arno, you've started using a sword too?" Meng Hongchen looked at Lin Nuo with some surprise.

She didn't ask why Lin Nuo, a control-type Soul Master with a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, would learn swordsmanship, a cold weapon martial art, but Meng Hongchen was very interested in Lin Nuo's learning of swordsmanship.

"Yes, you know the effect of my fifth soul skill. It can turn my Blue Silver Grass into a weapon. It would be a shame not to develop such a soul skill, so I started with the sword." Lin Nuo wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile.

“Practicing alone won’t be very effective. I’ll be your sparring partner.” Meng Hongchen shook her head and then took out an ice-blue longsword from her soul tool.

Compared to Lin Nuo's sword, Meng Hongchen's sword was much thinner and longer, only two fingers wide, but 1.2 meters long, and covered with ice crack patterns and snowflake patterns.

These patterns are not just decorations; they represent that this sword is a soul tool, with a level of six.

Speaking of which, the sword is paired with a complete set of level six soul-guided armor, which is the same armor that Meng Hongchen originally used in the competition. However, the armor is still in the research and development stage and has not yet been manufactured.

Only this longsword has been completed and is being used by Meng Hongchen.

Actually, the Hongchen family has a lineage of swordsmanship, but Arno, who had just had a sudden inspiration and started learning, hadn't quite grasped it yet.

Meng Hongchen did remind him.
