Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 103 Techniques

Even now, Bai Sanren remains stubborn and refuses to admit that his judgment was wrong.

Therefore, he devoted himself even more to teaching Han Yi.

Han Yi was naturally unaware of Bai Sanren's inner thoughts. He only felt that Bai Sanren seemed to be taking his teaching more seriously, which surprised and delighted him.

He spent those five days very fulfilling, absorbing the knowledge taught by Bai Sanren like a sponge.

Since coming into this world, Han Yi has never received professional guidance. When he was an outer disciple, the instructors only told them how to cultivate. Nothing was as useful as the one-on-one customized teaching from Bai Sanren.

Not to mention, Bai Sanren would sometimes tell him some battle secrets, or rather, personal tips and tricks, which were all experiences and cultivation techniques that Bai Sanren had accumulated over the years.

Just like now.

"Han Yi, do you know what's most important in actual combat?"

"Please enlighten me, Master Bai!"

Han Yi immediately straightened up and gave a slight bow.

"Kid Han, remember this: in real combat, eyesight is the most important thing!"

"eyesight?"

"Vision, that is, the ability to observe and predict."

Bai Sanren showed no impatience and spoke patiently.

"When you encounter an opponent, first carefully observe the enemy and determine what type of martial arts the enemy is good at."

"For example, thick calluses on the back of the hand indicate that the person is skilled in fist and palm techniques. Calluses on the tiger's mouth (between the thumb and index finger) indicate that the person frequently uses swords and knives. Calluses on the palm and between the index and middle fingers indicate that the person frequently handles bows and arrows..."

"After determining the enemy's general combat methods, you need to mentally rehearse the general scenario of the battle."

"You must understand that even the strongest fist is vulnerable to swords. People skilled in weapons are generally more threatening than those who rely on fists and feet, and you must use different methods to deal with them!"

Han Yi listened with rapt attention; no one had ever taught him these little tricks before.

Although the system can roughly judge the enemy's strength, it cannot tell him how to deal with it. What Bai Sanren said is similar to the principle of "give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime," which tells Han Yi the key to dealing with the enemy!

"Therefore, the stronger your eyesight, the more information you can see about your opponent, and the more complete your mental rehearsal of the battle scenario will be, the greater your chances of victory will be!"

Bai Sanren continued speaking, his last sentence resolute and leaving no room for argument. Han Yi nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. Although these principles sounded simple and easy to understand, without guidance, one might never have been able to figure them out in a lifetime.

Normally, such secrets are rarely passed on to outsiders, but only to those destined to inherit the mantle. Yet now, Bai Sanren has openly shared them with him; perhaps…

Han Yi thought of a possibility.

"Han boy, what are you thinking about? Get serious!"

"Next, watch as I demonstrate the first move of the 'Bai Family Sword Technique'!"

Bai Sanren shouted loudly, his expression serious. He didn't believe his judgment was wrong and was determined to get Han Yi into the sect.

"promise!"

Han Yi clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"Alright, Han boy, it's your turn to demonstrate..." Bai Sanren had said this countless times over the past five days, but the confidence he had at the beginning was gone from his words.

Han Yi nodded, still full of confidence in himself, believing that he would eventually succeed.

He knew his own limitations. He knew that his talent wasn't particularly outstanding, but diligence could make up for it. He could increase his lifespan by absorbing Yin energy, making him long-lived and able to withstand the drain. So even if he could only improve a little bit every day, he could still master even the most difficult martial arts techniques.

Moreover, once you get the hang of it, everything will be much easier!

At this time of year, the last ten days of summer have passed, and autumn is gradually approaching. The tall ginkgo trees in the yard are covered with a layer of golden yellow.

Han Yi slightly opened his eyes, focusing all his energy and spirit on the training wooden sword in his hand.

A gentle breeze blew by, and a few beautiful ginkgo leaves drifted down from the ginkgo tree.

Whoosh! At that moment, Han Yi suddenly opened his eyes, and the wooden sword was drawn from its sheath like a nimble dragon, flying in a perfect arc.

laugh!

The four fallen leaves were split in two vertically along the central vein, and the central vein on the leaves still retained its original curvature.

"Wow, what a fast and accurate sword strike!"

Witnessing this scene, Qianxue's lips involuntarily parted wide. As someone who also practiced swordsmanship, she knew the difficulty of this move.

"it is good!"

"Okay!"

Han Yi is truly gifted; he has already reached such a level after only entering the 'Bai Family Sword Technique'!

My judgment was right after all. The sparring sessions a few days ago were just the initial accumulation of skills by a swordsmanship prodigy...

Bai Sanren burst into laughter, clapping his hands and laughing so loudly it seemed to overflow the courtyard and reach the street.

Han Yi stared at the few broken leaves on the ground, lost in thought.

Unexpectedly, while I was practicing the 'Bai Family Sword Technique' just now, I actually activated the 'Mind's Eye' trait!

This time, I'm using a proper wooden sword, so how can it still trigger the 'mind's eye' characteristic of basic swordsmanship?

After watching Bai Sanren's demonstration, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and unleashed the sword strike as if by magic, but it was imbued with the 'Mind's Eye' ability.

But regardless, this should be considered the beginning of the 'Bai Family Swordplay'...

Han Yi silently recited the system name and prepared to check the lower panel.

[Martial Arts]: Thunderclap Palm Technique (Yellow Rank, High Grade; Characteristics: Shattering Stones and Splitting Earth, Frenzied Strike, Proficient (5/20), Upgradeable); Basic Sword Technique (Mortal Rank; Characteristics: Sword Dance, Mind's Eye, Mastery, Cannot be Upgraded); Flying Swallow Kick (Yellow Rank, Low Grade; Characteristics: Gale, Minor Mastery (1/50), Upgradeable); Bai Family Sword Technique (Yellow Rank, High Grade; Beginner (1/10), Upgradeable)

Ding!

[Detection: 'Basic Knife Techniques' has reached the highest level]

The 'Bai Family Sword Technique' can be deduced.

[Whether to conduct a simulation]

Before Han Yi could carefully check the information, a notification from the system sounded.

Deduction?

Can the 'Bai Family Sword Technique' and 'Basic Knife Technique' be deduced together?

After deducing the mortal-level "Mountain Collapse Fist" and the low-grade yellow-level "Thunderbolt Palm", the high-grade yellow-level "Breaking Thunder Palm" was obtained.

If we were to deduce the difference between the mortal-level 'Basic Sword Technique' and the high-grade yellow-level 'Bai Family Sword Technique'...

Han Yi gasped, forcing himself to suppress the urge to choose 'yes' and selecting 'no' instead.

No rush, no rush. I'll think about this when I have some free time...

"Come on, we've just learned the basics of swordsmanship today, let's go celebrate..."

Han Yi calmed himself down and said to Bai Sanren and Qianxue with a bright smile.

"it is good!

"Let's go!"

Qianxue smiled radiantly, genuinely happy that Han Yi had mastered the basics of swordsmanship.
