The Heavens begin by inheriting their grandfather's cheat ability

Disciples of the Snow Mountain Sect practice standing meditation and swordsmanship in the morning, and meditate to cultivate their internal energy in the late afternoon.

The afternoons were used to practice lightness skills.

Shi Zhongyu accepted the Cold Breath Pill given to him by his martial uncle, but he had not yet arrived at the training ground.

Then I saw my junior sister, Bai Axiu, standing outside the door.

"Junior Sister Bai, are you waiting for someone here?"

"Wait for you!"

Shi Zhongyu was surprised.

"wait for me?"

"Yes! Senior Uncle Feng asked me to give you a message, saying to go to the martial arts arena on the back mountain!"

After Bai Axiu finished speaking, she smiled faintly, waved her hand, and left.

Shi Zhongyu watched Bai Axiu's departing figure, then turned and walked towards the back mountain.

Yesterday, his master taught him how to "walk without leaving a trace in the snow," which is the back mountain.

When Shi Zhongyu arrived at the destination, he saw his master standing in the wind and snow, dressed in a blue robe.

He stepped forward and bowed.

"Master!"

Feng Wanli's gaze swept over Shi Zhongyu, and he nodded slightly.

Swish!

A long sword was planted in front of Shi Zhongyu.

"Pick it up!"

Is this for him to practice swordsmanship?

Shi Zhongyu was puzzled, but he still picked up the iron sword in front of him.

Feng Wanli nodded slightly and pointed to the ice surface, snow slope, and other places.

"Go practice your light-footed skills!"

"yes!"

Shi Zhongyu gripped his longsword, moved swiftly, and used the "Treading Snow Without a Trace" technique as instructed by his master.

In terms of light-footed skills, Shi Zhongyu pursues speed, striving to be as fast as possible.

One hour later.

"Effective training, Snowwalking Without Leaving a Trace +5".

Stepping on Snow Without Leaving a Trace (40/100)

Just as Shi Zhongyu was about to continue after calming his breathing, Feng Wanli spoke up.

"Your movements are too agitated, you only seek speed, but you don't know how to use cold to condense your energy and use stillness to control lightness."

Feng Wanli's voice was clear and strong.

"The Snow Mountain School's lightness skill is based on the cold. When walking on snow, one must be light; when landing on ice, one must be steady. If one's breathing becomes disordered, one's feet will sink."

"First be steady, then light, then pursue speed. Try again! This time, draw your breath into your dantian, and when you step down, use the rebound from the ice surface. Your body should be like a snowflake, not a gale."

As Feng Wanli finished speaking, the pages of the book turned.

"Having received guidance, the skill of 'Leaving No Trace in Snow' has been enhanced by 5 points."

Stepping on Snow Without Leaving a Trace (45/100)

Shi Zhongyu had learned quite a bit more about the "Treading Snow Without a Trace" technique.

He didn't speak, but followed his master's instructions to stabilize his breathing, focusing on lightness and stability rather than speed.

This time, Shi Zhongyu experienced a feeling of lightness in his body.

When Feng Wanli saw Shi Zhongyu's comprehension, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

This disciple has a really high level of comprehension.

As Shi Zhongyu stepped over a hillside, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

Along with this figure came a sharp sword aura.

Upon encountering this unexpected turn of events, Shi Zhongyu twisted his body in an attempt to dodge, but due to his disordered breathing, he lost his footing and stepped directly into the snow.

His figure swayed, and he landed face down on the snow.

Shi Zhongyu got up from the ground, his green robe, hair and cheeks covered in snow.

He stared at his master in front of him, bewildered.

His master's interruption prevented him from improving his proficiency in light-body skills during this practice.

Feng Wanli remained expressionless and coldly said, "Lightness skill isn't for you to familiarize yourself with the terrain, but for you to be able to adapt flexibly to sudden changes!"

Shi Zhongyu really wanted to say that he had only just started practicing.

He thought about it for a moment, but still didn't say it.

Just like what Uncle Hua said, if you are an enemy, it doesn't matter whether you have practiced martial arts or when you practiced them.

"This disciple has learned a great deal!"

Seeing that Shi Zhongyu had no complaints whatsoever, Feng Wanli nodded slightly, feeling even more satisfied with his disciple's character.

He said in a deep voice, "Now, attack me with your sword!"

Shi Zhongyu's eyes lit up.

Is his master going to personally instruct him in swordsmanship?

He could improve his swordsmanship proficiency greatly simply by listening to the principles of swordsmanship in the side hall, with his master personally giving him pointers.

How much proficiency would that increase?

Filled with anticipation, Shi Zhongyu reminded his master, "Master, it's time for your move!"

Before he finished speaking, he lightly touched the snow with his toes, and his figure rose up like a snowflake, which was the light footwork that was the foundation of the Snow Mountain Sect.

At the same time, he flicked his wrist, lowered his longsword, and the tip of the sword, carrying a fine gust of cold wind, slowly advanced. The move was gentle yet steady and accurate, and it was the first move of the Snow Mountain Sect, Falling Snow.

This move aims to conceal one's strength within stillness, first stabilizing one's posture before seeking out weaknesses.

Feng Wanli's eyes lit up slightly when he saw Shi Zhongyu draw his sword.

Shi Zhongyu actually knew how to combine light footwork and swordsmanship.

Feng Wanli, who stood with his hands behind his back, nodded slightly. When he saw the long sword thrusting at him by Shi Zhongyu, he did not block it. Instead, he slightly shifted his feet and tilted his body to avoid the seemingly ordinary thrust.

"The landing point is too solid, causing restlessness. What is falling snow? Falling snow should not make a sound."

Feng Wanli spoke calmly.

"Again!"

"Having received guidance, Snow Mountain Sword Technique proficiency +5."

Shi Zhongyu's eyes lit up; his master's guidance had indeed helped him improve his proficiency much faster.

Shi Zhongyu was not discouraged even though his swordsmanship was exposed with a single sentence.

Seeing that his master told him to continue, he suddenly flipped his wrist and swiftly flicked the tip of his sword upwards.

The sword swept diagonally like a plum blossom breaking through the snow, while the body simultaneously slid half a foot to the side, the footwork and swordplay moving in unison.

When Feng Wanli saw Shi Zhongyu's move, his eyes lit up even more.

"That's right. The second move is to be fast and skillful, targeting the enemy's gaps, emphasizing agile movements and lightning-fast sword strikes."

"Having received guidance, Snow Mountain Sword Technique proficiency +5."

Proficient in Snow Mountain Swordsmanship (10/300).

As Shi Zhongyu's swordsmanship improved further in his mind, his eyes became brighter and he wielded the sword faster.

Feng Wanli remained unmoved, merely raising his wrist slightly and flicking his index and middle fingers.

With a "ding," it struck the spine of the sword precisely.

Shi Zhongyu felt a gentle internal force flowing through the sword, causing the sword's momentum to shift and the force to be completely neutralized.

He heard his master's voice.

"The sword is fast, but the body is slow; the body moves with the sword, not the sword chasing after the person."

Feng Wanli spoke calmly.

"The plum blossoms bloom for a fleeting moment; before you arrive, your sword is already dead, leaving only your form."

"Having received guidance, Snow Mountain Sword Technique proficiency +5."

Shi Zhongyu ignored the need to improve his proficiency with the book pages.

He understood his master's instructions and then took a deep breath.

The next moment, a chilling aura condensed around him, and he swept his long sword horizontally, causing the snowflakes to fly in a whirlwind.

Moreover, Shi Zhongyu spun halfway around, using the momentum to pull back, his movements as sharp as a cold wind sweeping away snow.

The sword moves with the body, the body borrows the sword's momentum, the long sword carries the wind and snow, creating a chilling aura.

"good!"

Feng Wanli secretly admired Shi Zhongyu. When Shi Zhongyu used the first move, Falling Snow, he could tell that Shi Zhongyu was proficient in using the Snow Mountain School's swordsmanship.

Now, with just a little guidance from him, the kid has actually made progress again.

This time, Feng Wanli no longer casually deflected the force. Instead, he flipped his wrist, drew the sword from his waist, and lightly tapped the opponent with the blade.

"when!"

With a clear sound, Feng Wanli's sword technique was extremely light and skillful. It neither attacked nor killed, but simply followed the return force of his sword, neither shaking off his sword nor fighting his internal strength. Instead, it guided his sword technique back on track, allowing him to finish his move completely.

Shi Zhongyu felt a gentle force supporting his sword, and he spun around and sheathed his sword in one smooth motion, completing the three moves in one breath, several times smoother than usual.

"Practice effective, Snow Mountain Sword Technique proficiency +5."

"Having received guidance, Snow Mountain Sword Technique proficiency +5."
