One Day to Sword Qi, Five Years to the Peak

Each class here lasted an hour. Soon, the hour was up. They had all lost count of how many times they had swung, yet not even a dent had appeared on the Wooden Dummies.

When the class ended, Su Yu said, "Class is over. You can go do whatever you want now, but I should remind you: if you really want to learn the sword, if you really want to chop through these Wooden Dummies, one hour a day is nowhere near enough. At the very least, you need to start with three hours."

"But it doesn’t matter if you can’t keep it up. This is only an elective, after all. It’s fine if you don’t learn it." Su Yu smiled and waved his hand.

Liang Bing curled her lips. "I’m going to practice it no matter what. So what?"

With that, Liang Bing resumed hacking away. Mao Jiu had never stopped either, and He Xi picked up her Wooden Sword and began chopping as well.

Seeing Liang Bing and He Xi still practicing, the Second Generation Angels helplessly decided they should follow along.

Su Yu smiled and left. Among these people, he believed that before long, a great many would gradually quit. After all, he had never expected many of them to truly learn the sword.

That night.

After dinner, Su Yu went for a walk around the training grounds. To his surprise, Mao Jiu and Liang Bing were still chopping at the Wooden Dummies. Six or seven hours had probably passed since class ended, yet the two of them had actually persisted for this long.

Su Yu walked over and watched them. Neither paid him any attention, continuing to chop at the Wooden Dummies. Seeing Liang Bing’s dazed expression and pale face, Su Yu suddenly remembered that he had sealed all of her Dark Energy and everything else.

Su Yu snatched Liang Bing’s Wooden Sword away. "Damn, are you crazy? You’re basically an ordinary person right now, and you’ve been practicing swordsmanship for this long."

Liang Bing shook her head. "What’s it got to do with you? If you can’t bear to see it, then undo my seal."

Su Yu sent a trace of Dominion Power into Liang Bing, restoring her condition to normal. He smiled. "Don’t even think about it. If you want to practice, keep practicing. Once you can’t hold on anymore, I’ll just restore you again."

"Fuck! You bitch, don’t you know how to cherish a beauty?" Liang Bing threw down her Wooden Sword and shouted furiously.

She had originally wanted to pretend she was pitiful so Su Yu would soften up and remove her seal. Having no strength was truly miserable; she could not even fight.

After saying that, Liang Bing stormed off in a huff. Su Yu smiled, then looked at Mao Jiu. "Mao Jiu, stop practicing. Five hours a day is more than enough. Don’t exhaust yourself. Go have dinner first."

Mao Jiu smiled faintly. "It’s fine. I want to chop through this Wooden Dummy sooner."

Su Yu gave a wry smile. "All right, then. I have nothing to do anyway, so I’ll stay here with you."

Mao Jiu nodded and continued chopping at the Wooden Dummy.

Mao Jiu might have looked like a sheltered little girl, but she was a Third Generation God Body. Su Yu was not worried that anything would happen to her body, so he did not try to dissuade her.

Today, Mao Jiu had seen Su Yu casually swing his Wooden Sword and chop through all those Wooden Dummies. That scene had deeply affected her. Influenced by Kieran in the past, she had always believed that the power of science was the strongest force in the world. But after seeing Su Yu’s methods, she had begun to waver.

At that moment, Su Yu’s brilliant sword strike filled Mao Jiu’s mind. She even thought that if those Wooden Dummies had been gods, they would surely have been slain by Su Yu’s single sword strike as well.

Just then, Mao Jiu suddenly entered a wondrous state. Su Yu was stunned when he saw it, and then he watched as Mao Jiu began repeating the movements Su Yu had made earlier that day.

Mao Jiu gripped her Wooden Sword tightly, then casually swung it.

A flash of sword light streaked out, and a sword qi directly cleaved the Wooden Dummy before Mao Jiu in half.

Mao Jiu immediately emerged from that wondrous state of enlightenment. Looking at the Wooden Dummy she had cut apart, she cried out excitedly, "Brother Su Yu! Look, hurry and look! I cut it!"

Su Yu touched his chin in surprise. Back then, it seemed he had taken six or seven hours to comprehend sword qi. Could Mao Jiu’s talent in the sword path really rival his own?

Su Yu smiled at Mao Jiu. "Mao Jiu, I really have to say that your talent in the sword path is incredibly strong. You comprehended sword qi in only six or seven hours."

Hearing Su Yu praise her, Mao Jiu giggled happily and asked, "By the way, Brother Su Yu, how long did it take you to comprehend that sword qi thing?"

"About the same as you. Mao Jiu, as long as you can persist, you will definitely reach the peak of the sword path within five years. Perhaps you still don’t know just how powerful the peak of the sword path is. Let me tell you: if your sword path reaches its peak, then with the Dark Energy of your Third Generation God Body, a full-power sword strike could wipe out the entire Angel Nebula in one blow," Su Yu said slowly.

Mao Jiu said in shock, "It’s that powerful? One sword strike can destroy the Angel Nebula?"

Su Yu nodded slightly. "If you reach the Fourth Generation God Body in the future, you might even be able to carve a small crack into the universe with a single sword strike."

Mao Jiu was stunned. Could the sword path really be this powerful?

Mao Jiu’s eyes immediately lit up. "Brother Su Yu, can you teach me what to do next right now?"

Su Yu smiled. "There’s no rush. Sword qi is easy to comprehend, but the Sword Intent, Sword Will, and Sword Soul that come after it require accumulation before you can comprehend them. So I’ll first teach you a sword technique. After that, focus solely on that one technique. Once you reach the pinnacle of sword techniques through a single sword technique, you can learn others."

"I have all sorts of sword techniques here—ones focused on agility, offense, or defense. Tell me what kind you want to learn, and I’ll find one for you," Su Yu said as he looked at Mao Jiu.

Mao Jiu thought for a moment. "Brother Su Yu, I want to learn something more agile, something that makes me look like a fairy. Is there anything like that?"

As she spoke, Mao Jiu’s little face reddened slightly. She was a little embarrassed to make such a request.

Su Yu smiled. "Yes! There’s a sword technique called the Tianxuan Nine Swords. Although it’s a sword technique, its moves aren’t particularly profound. This technique is powerful mainly because of its unique movement technique."

As he spoke, Su Yu began teaching Mao Jiu the movement technique. The movement technique of the Tianxuan Nine Swords was called the Tianxuan Step. Su Yu demonstrated the Tianxuan Step once for Mao Jiu, and she instantly fell in love with it.

Su Yu then began teaching her the movement technique. Teaching it inevitably meant helping Mao Jiu correct her posture, which inevitably led to physical contact.

Mao Jiu’s little face remained flushed throughout. After all, it was her first time being this close to a boy. Meanwhile, smelling Mao Jiu’s faint fragrance and feeling the warmth of her body, Su Yu’s face also reddened slightly.
