Chapter 8

Li Chun, however, paid no heed to the surroundings. He was now completely immersed in his own world, repeatedly reciting the verses of the Willow Fluff Sword Technique.

"Willow branches stretch lazily in the wind, a few fluffs drift with the breeze. Strong winds bend the trees, but the fluff can easily and skillfully disperse. Observing gains and losses with a cool eye, a small boat can also navigate the raging waves!"

The verses were easy to recite, simple and clear, yet they contained profound martial arts wisdom. Li Chun felt that he was just one step away from breaking through, and with this insight, he could create countless new moves. However, he was stuck at a certain bottleneck, unable to move forward.

He hadn't moved at all, but his clothes were already drenched in cold sweat!

"Just... a little bit more..."

Li Chun clenched his fists in frustration, feeling something hard and hot in his palm.

It was the golden sphere given to him by the old man. He usually played with it in his hand, and now he unconsciously squeezed it tightly. The golden sphere seemed to melt from the heat of his palm, gradually turning into a golden liquid and seeping into his body.

"Huh?"

Li Chun suddenly felt a shock throughout his body, as a warm current rushed from his palm to the top of his head, crashing into his mind!

A loud boom echoed in his mind, and the white jade mystic gate swayed. The golden paper that was originally pasted on the door floated away under the impact of a golden light.

The white jade mystic gate silently opened!

"What's happening?"

Li Chun was overjoyed, but he didn't have time to think about the reason. He wanted to rush into the Lanhuan Library, but a beautifully carved child sat at the entrance, blocking his way.

"Divine power is limited; the Lanhuan Library can only open the first level. If you want any sword technique, as long as you can pay the corresponding divine power, I will naturally help you obtain it!"

The child's voice was crisp and clear, but it was firm and unyielding.

"Divine power? First level?"

Li Chun was confused, but with time being short, he didn't have time to think about it. "Give me a set of sword techniques related to willow fluff, at least... at least seventh rank, no, sixth rank!"

"Sixth rank in this world?"

The child curled his lip in disdain, pointed his finger, and a golden light flew out from the bookshelf behind him, merging with Li Chun's mental image.

"This set of sword techniques is enough. Go!"

At the same time, the white jade mystic gate closed with a loud boom. Li Chun's mind was shaken, and he suddenly opened his eyes.

He was still standing in the center of the platform, holding his sword, without moving!

"Li Chun!"

The sword master's urging voice was already tinged with anger.

"Yes... yes..."

Li Chun smiled and raised his sword. "I'm coming, everyone, enjoy the show!"

In his mind, several exquisite sword moves suddenly appeared. Although he didn't know what had just happened, he at least understood that the Lanhuan Library had done its job at this critical moment!

With any one of these sword moves, he could definitely defeat Lie Ba!

This was a given!

"Because... I am destined to become a Sword Saint!"

Li Chun shouted, and the sword light flickered, transforming into countless specks of flying fluff. Just like Lie Ba, he used the basic Willow Fluff Sword Technique as the background for his new moves.

A sudden spring breeze blew, and the willow fluff drifted.

His sword moves were light and gentle, full of warmth, and everyone present felt as if they were basking in the spring breeze.

"Good! Good!"

The old man smiled and nodded. "This young man's foundation is truly excellent!"

The faces of the people from the Thunderclap Hall were naturally not pleasant. Although the Willow Fluff Sword Technique was not as high in rank as the Thunderclap Sword Technique, it was the different style and atmosphere that earned it the praise of the mainstream, which was frustrating.

"Tsk! What's the point of a good foundation? I don't believe he can create any powerful sword moves!"

Lie Ba's forehead veins bulged, and he gripped his sword tightly.

【Chapter 4

The Sword of Emotion】

Li Chun smiled, and the sword light became even gentler.

He had been immersed in the atmosphere of the Willow Fluff Sword Technique, already on the verge of breaking through and creating new moves. With the help of the Lanhuan Library's sword techniques, his mind suddenly became clear.

His Willow Fluff Sword Technique had reached a level of perfection, and the atmosphere it conveyed was profound and subtle.

To be able to practice the basic sword technique to this level was already enough to earn praise.

Lu Man娘 smiled and nodded.

She had never expected Li Chun to win. This was not a fair competition, with thousands of disciples from the Thunderclap Hall, and Lie Ba, who had been a disciple since childhood, had been practicing sword techniques for at least seven or eight years.

Li Chun had only three years of sword practice. Although he was diligent, human effort has its limits. To reach this level was already enough to make her feel gratified.

"Even if he loses, it will just mean the end of the Qingling Pavilion... The honor of our ancestors is not so easy to bear..."

Lu Man娘 smiled bitterly, her gaze wandering, and no one knew what she was thinking.

In her view, although Li Chun had reached this level, it was still insufficient to create valuable new moves. Reaching this point was enough.

However, the situation on the field was beyond her expectations.

Li Chun's sword moves suddenly slowed down.

At this point, the Willow Fluff Sword Technique was almost at its end, with the fluff flying in all directions, and it should have been over.

But the sword intent remained entangled, not ending!

"This is..."

Lu Man娘 was pleasantly surprised and stood up abruptly.

Creating moves, Li Chun was really creating moves on the spot!

Others might not know, but she knew Li Chun's martial arts progress. If he had created new moves earlier, why wouldn't he have shown them to her?

Now, with his sword intent extending, it was clear that he had created new moves in the midst of his recent insights!

From the entangled sword intent, this move was truly not bad!

"Drifting from the southern path to the eastern neighbor, quietly and dimly passing through the spring."

"Flowers in the alley warm with the light dance of butterflies, the jade building bright with the touch of a beautifully dressed woman."

Li Chun recited softly, his long sword drawing a subtle arc in the air. The tip of the sword trembled, creating a mist of light, with an indescribable charm, adding a touch of emotion to the flying willow fluff!

Everyone present couldn't help but be moved, whether by the beautiful sword technique or by Li Chun's recitation.

Those who had experienced it were silent, perhaps recalling a beautiful woman on a jade building in their memories.

Those who had not experienced love were captivated by the charming atmosphere, momentarily lost in it.

The little junior sister burst into tears.

"Big Brother is so amazing!"

The other junior brothers couldn't help but cheer loudly.

"A sword of emotion, with emotion in the sword. I never thought that Li Chun could perform such a sword technique to this level!"

The old man was deeply moved and couldn't help but clap in admiration!

Even his address had changed!
