Chapter 6

The moonlight was as clear as water, seeping through the gaps between the leaves and scattering down.

The bright and cold moonlight fell on Su Bai's face, accentuating his sinister and handsome features even more.

Leaning against the tree trunk, Su Bai held the yellowed book in his hands, reading it with great interest.

An incredibly sharp sword was embedded in the tree trunk, half of its blade buried within.

In the distance, a pair of beautiful eyes stared straight at Su Bai, cold and bone-chilling.

Noticing Liu Feiyu's gaze, Su Bai raised his eyes and said indifferently, "If you looked at me with a seductive gaze, I might just let you go!"

"As for that fierce and hateful look, tsk tsk!" Su Bai shook his head and immersed himself in the book again.

Liu Feiyu's soft and slender body was tightly bound to the tree trunk, unable to move, with only her eyes rolling, gathering a fierce aura between her eyebrows.

The taut vines made Liu Feiyu's figure appear even fuller, especially her proud breasts, the pink nipples faintly visible under her white dress.

However, such allure did not attract Su Bai's attention. His eyes remained fixed on the book, never shifting to Liu Feiyu.

"Second-grade sword technique, Moon Water Shadow Sword, is something a waste like you can cultivate!" Seeing Su Bai's thoughtful expression, Liu Feiyu mocked.

Second-grade sword technique, the four realms of martial arts: Entry, Condensation, Heavenly Gang, and Innate. Martial techniques are divided into ten grades, with the lowest being non-grade and the highest being ninth-grade.

The second-grade sword technique Liu Feiyu mentioned was precisely the martial technique recorded in the book Su Bai held, indicating that Liu Feiyu had also seen this book.

Hearing this, Su Bai didn't even raise an eyelid, too lazy to deal with Liu Feiyu.

The book had only a few dozen pages, recording simple sword forms. Despite this, Su Bai could see the extraordinary nature of these sword forms.

"Truly a second-grade sword technique, much more profound than my Mountain Breaking Sword Form," Su Bai muttered to himself.

These words reached Liu Feiyu's ears, and she sneered again, "Even when Liu Dong received this book, he couldn't understand the technique. You think you can grasp its profundity just by skimming through it once?"

Her beautiful eyes glinted with cold light, and Liu Feiyu relentlessly attacked, "Pretending to be profound!"

Su Bai just smiled faintly, and as he closed the book, a cold voice sounded in his mind: "Congratulations, host, for learning the second-grade sword technique Moon Water Shadow Sword. Proficiency: 0!"

"I, the young master, am gifted, how can I be compared to the likes of Liu Dong!" Su Bai waved the book in his hand and laughed lightly.

"Based on you?" Liu Feiyu laughed coldly, her beautiful eyes filled with disdain.

Su Bai gripped the sword hilt with one hand, threw the book into the air, and drew his sword, creating several sword shadows. Swoosh!

The sword fell, and paper fragments fluttered down. Seeing this, Liu Feiyu was suddenly shocked and exclaimed, "You scoundrel, you actually destroyed the book!"

Swinging his sword, he brought a fierce sword wind, carrying the paper fragments, swirling out.

Walking forward, Su Bai bent down, his lips almost touching Liu Feiyu's pale earlobe, and whispered, "It's my thing, do I need your permission to do what I want?"

The faint warmth in her ear made Liu Feiyu's body tingle, her eyes colder, this tingling sensation bringing her an inexplicable sense of shame.

"Take your dirty mouth away. If you touch me in the slightest, Liu Dong will surely tear you apart!" Liu Feiyu's voice trembled, her body becoming increasingly weak and powerless.

Su Bai chuckled softly, his sword tip sliding over her beautiful face, and said indifferently, "Are all the disciples of the Langya Sect like this, unable to assess the situation? Even if I do something to you here, how would Liu Dong know?"

"Besides, a worn-out shoe has lost its value to make men fight for it, hasn't it?" Standing up, Su Bai said somewhat dispiritedly.

Hearing this, Liu Feiyu's expression first froze, then quickly regained composure. She knew that although Su Bai's words were harsh, the reality was indeed that cruel.

Liu Feiyu coldly stared at the paper fragments falling around, her beautiful eyes flashing with a hint of anger. The martial technique they had fought so hard to obtain was destroyed by this scoundrel.

Ignoring Liu Feiyu's regretful gaze, Su Bai raised his head, looking at the silver moon in the sky. The night was silent, the surroundings eerily quiet, with only the rustling of leaves in the breeze.

"I hope it's as I imagined!" Su Bai muttered to himself, leaping up as if weightless, lightly landing on the withered leaves. A dark, water-like sword light spread out, creating sharp whistling sounds.

Liu Feiyu coldly watched the figure practicing the sword under the moonlight, a look of disdain flashing across her face. The second-grade sword technique Moon Water Shadow Sword was only accessible to inner disciples in the Langya Sect. Even those talented inner disciples took several days to learn it. How could a waste like Su Bai possibly master it just by skimming through it once? It was a dream of a fool.

"If one could learn a second-grade sword technique just by looking at it once, wouldn't the talent of the inner disciples in the sect be wasted on dogs!" Liu Feiyu laughed coldly, her lips curving into a beautiful arc.

The Moon Water Shadow Sword was a second-grade sword technique. Compared to the straightforward Mountain Breaking Sword Form, the Moon Water Shadow Sword was more about changes. Sword shadows appeared, like the flowing moonlight, outlining and gathering, gradually forming a crescent moon.

Su Bai closed his eyes, the sword forms he had seen earlier imprinted in his mind, indelible.

Withered leaves fell, and Su Bai thrust his sword forward. The sword body swayed slightly, creating a faint sword shadow. The sword, like the flowing water under the moon, lightly struck the withered leaf in front of him, immediately turning it into fragments.

The Moon Water Shadow Sword had twelve forms, and only when all twelve forms were combined did it become the true Moon Water Shadow Sword. Therefore, the sword forms must be performed smoothly.

Each sword form was interconnected. Su Bai remembered the sword forms, but when he first tried to perform them, it was extremely difficult. The sword forms were choppy and awkward, failing to fully unleash the power of the sword technique.

When the twelfth form was completed, a system voice sounded in Su Bai's mind: "Congratulations, host, for mastering the second-grade sword technique. Proficiency +1!"

The sword light dissipated, and a smile appeared on Su Bai's face. Indeed, as long as he could perform the sword forms once, he would learn the technique. As for the sword technique's realm, it would naturally improve with increased proficiency, everything would fall into place.

Drenched in sweat, Su Bai had spent a lot of energy performing the sword technique once.

"Second-grade sword technique, if mastered to the level of a grandmaster, it would be easy to kill across levels!" Su Bai's eyes sparkled, closing them to recall the entire Moon Water Shadow Sword, gaining some insights.

Opening his eyes, Su Bai gripped the sword hilt tightly and whispered, "Continue!"

He thrust his sword forward, a fierce sword wind emerging, sweeping up the fallen leaves. The leaves flew, and Su Bai's figure, holding the sword, flashed and disappeared among them.

Compared to before, Su Bai was less stiff and more agile.

Seeing this, Liu Feiyu let out a series of mocking laughs, clear and crisp like pearls falling on a jade plate: "Just copying, imitating!"
