In terms of power, using it myself is much stronger than Bu Zheng, but the problem is that I seem to be less proficient in this sword technique. If Bu Zheng has mastered fifty percent of this technique, then I have at most mastered ten percent.

Why is the power反而 greater?

At this moment, Xiuying began to understand that this sword technique might be extraordinary. Since Bu Zheng hasn't fully mastered it, its power isn't evident.

And I, having learned just a bit, can achieve such power, defeating Liu Xinyan. This sword technique is worth learning...

At this moment, Xiuying noticed a problem: her strength seemed to be drained, as if using this sword technique had caused this. Could this be a side effect of the sword technique?

Of course not. The reason is that she doesn't have the strength to wield this technique. Also, when she watched Bu Zheng practice this technique, it seemed ineffective because he didn't use his internal energy, just the movements.

For others, practicing the movements without internal energy might not yield much, but Bu Zheng is different. He can grasp something with each practice, even though this technique is very difficult to master, and he hasn't even mastered half of it yet.

This is natural. This technique is a supreme skill, and compared to it, the Qingyun Sword Technique is nothing.

To get back to the point, after that one strike, Xiuying sat down weakly on the ground. After being knocked away, Liu Xinyan spat out a mouthful of blood, took a pill, and then came back, ready to tear Xiuying to pieces. At this moment, she seemed to have forgotten something.

"Stop, Xinyan, you've been knocked off the stage, you've lost!"

An elder from the Yan Yun Manor flew out and stopped the enraged Liu Xinyan. If this were a life-or-death battle, Xiuying would be dead, but this is a sect competition, and she has won.

In this situation, even though Liu Xinyan lost, everyone felt that she had actually won, but she lost according to the rules, not in terms of martial arts.

"Master, I... she..." Liu Xinyan pointed at the weakly seated Xiuying, unwilling to accept her defeat.

As for her title, a manor's managing elder can also be called Master, but they are usually referred to as Elder.

"Rules are rules, without rules, there is no order. This is a lesson for you. Go back and practice for another year. It's just a year later," the elder of the Yan Yun Manor said calmly.

"Li Xiuying, you did well, but if you were outside, you shouldn't use such a technique. It's better to choose to escape rather than use all your strength," the elder also gave Li Xiuying some advice. He could see that Li Xiuying's sword technique was very draining of internal energy. Such techniques are usually classified as forbidden, and are only used in desperate situations.

This forbidden technique is relative, not absolute. If you can master it and use it normally, it's not a forbidden technique, but just one of your martial arts skills.

A forbidden technique means using a technique beyond your level, which can be used but has significant side effects, even death.

The elder didn't doubt Xiuying's technique because what she learned was just a fragment of a fragment, far from the original.

"I understand..." Xiuying nodded. Her response was unnecessary; she herself didn't know why she suddenly used that technique, and she didn't expect the result to be like this.

What sword technique is Bu Zheng practicing, and why does it have such power? I just learned to use it, not even mastering it, yet it still has such power. If I were to master it, what would it be like?

That damn Bu Zheng, having such a technique, why didn't he let me learn it? It's too infuriating. I'll definitely give you a lesson when I get back.

She didn't know that Bu Zheng was also confused about this technique and couldn't teach it in full even if he wanted to.

"Are you okay?" At this moment, the supervising elder came over and looked at Xiuying, asking if she could walk on her own. If not, he would have someone help her, as the stage was still in use.

"I'm fine." Xiuying slowly stood up, her strength recovering a bit. She could walk on her own.

"Master." Xiuying walked to the elder of the Yan Yun Manor and greeted him. Her direct superior couldn't ignore her, and he was waiting for her.

"Xiuying, although there was an element of luck, you have passed. In the future, you will be a regular disciple and will leave the Yan Yun Manor. Who you will be apprenticed to will depend on your own destiny," the elder of the Yan Yun Manor said.

The Qingyun Sword Sect's rules state that the manor is like a large academy where outer disciples practice martial arts. After becoming a regular disciple, they will enter the mountains to continue their training and further their studies.

"Thank you, Master, I will never forget your guidance." Xiuying bowed and said politely. Was my success really none of your business? I only saw you speak when I first entered the manor, and now.

"Very good. I didn't expect that as a new disciple, you would become a regular disciple in less than a year. This is indeed unexpected. Work hard in the future," the elder smiled, exchanged a few pleasantries with Xiuying, and then left.

"This time it was just luck, not that you defeated me. In your current state, I don't want to fight you again, lest others say I'm bullying you." Liu Xinyan raised her head and walked away proudly. She could still maintain her pride because she didn't consider herself defeated.

However, not considering herself defeated means she will have to stay in the outer sect for another year, while Xiuying has become a regular disciple!

"Xiuying, I didn't expect you to win." Some of Xiuying's fellow disciples came over to congratulate her, and Xiuying responded to each one, not making them feel that she was different now that she was a regular disciple.

In fact, Xiuying hadn't thought about what would be different. She hadn't yet transitioned into her new role and didn't have that feeling.

All Xiuying could think about now was for Bu Zheng to return soon so she could learn that sword technique from him. Unfortunately, Bu Zheng didn't return until after her ranking match.

With no choice, she had to practice the technique based on her memory. Although the effect wasn't as good as if Bu Zheng were teaching her, it still had an extraordinary effect, allowing her to grasp many things. This technique gradually became more proficient, no longer a forbidden technique that she could only use once. She could use it one or two times, and her strength would still be maintained, though she couldn't use it too much, as it would immediately drain her.

She relied on this to win several matches in the ranking tournament...
