Chapter 11

In Dajianzhou, some super powerful figures might also be able to achieve this by using their magical powers and primordial spirits, but this young man did not use a single thread of true essence, relying entirely on ordinary human means...

This is terrifying!

Not only are his eyesight, movements, speed, and timing incredibly precise, but his control over his muscles and his nervous system's reactions are also at a shocking level!

To complete so many cuts in the brief moments it takes for a dead tree to fall, even the slightest error, as thin as a hair, could lead to a vastly different outcome, yet he made no mistakes at all!

This level of control is beyond imagination!

Moreover, the most crucial point is that after doing all this, he did not get excited; instead, he shook his head, looking somewhat disappointed... indicating that achieving this was nothing special to him.

This... is too outrageous!

When did Zhenxian Sect have such a powerful expert?

"Could it be... that senior?"

A peerless sword immortal, even in Dajianzhou, is rarely seen, so it's impossible for two to appear in one place. It might just be the great master who taught her sword techniques in the mansion but never showed his face!

As for the young appearance... many experts who have lived for hundreds of years still look very young. It's said that a great demon lived for thousands of years and still looked like a child.

So, appearance cannot represent strength or age.

"If it really is that senior, that would be great..."

She had been thinking about how to enter the mansion and what methods to use to make him take her as a disciple, but she never expected to have such good luck and meet him here.

This is the best opportunity, and she must not miss it!

Thinking of this, she no longer hesitated, took a few steps forward, and knelt down: "Disciple Liu Yi of Zhenxian Sect, grateful for the sword techniques taught by the senior, has gained much insight. I hope the senior will take me as a disciple!"

Su Yin was startled.

This guy... when did he come over?

So terrifying!

It seems that before gaining strength, one should avoid wandering outside, or else they might die without even knowing how!

Suppressing his shock, Su Yin waved his hand: "Is this friend mistaken?"

He has no cultivation at all, what can he teach!

Liu Yi was also stunned.

The voice that taught her sword techniques last night was sharp and grating, while this young man's voice was gentle and warm, clearly two different people.

"Last night, the senior taught me sword techniques, and I have already grasped part of it..."

She paused, then asked tentatively.

"You must be mistaken. I have never met you, let alone taught you sword techniques..." Su Yin smiled bitterly.

Even the act of taking a disciple can be mistaken...

This guy is really something!

Hearing his firm denial, Liu Yi was somewhat confused.

An expert of this level would not lie to a minor like her; there's no need and no reason to do so. If that's the case... it really wasn't the one from last night?

Zhenxian Sect actually has two unknown peerless sword immortals?

No wonder it's a sect with a ten-thousand-year legacy, truly profound!

However... in that case, which one should I take as my master?

For a moment, she was conflicted.

She didn't know the strength of the senior who taught her last night, but a brief lesson was enough to break through her limitations and defeat Zhou Yuan, showing his power.

As for this one, using no true essence, divine sense, or magical power, his control over his muscles alone was incredibly precise, indicating that his sword techniques were also at an unimaginable level...

In short, no matter which one she chose as her master, she could become a true expert!

However, one can only choose one master; otherwise, being indecisive could easily lead to disapproval and even expulsion from the sect.

"It was my rashness..."

Realizing her mistake, Liu Yi was embarrassed and bowed deeply again: "Just now, I saw the senior effortlessly split the tree without using any power. Is this... the supreme sword technique?"

Su Yin was speechless, thinking it was just chopping wood, not some grand sword technique!

Shaking his head, he explained: "It's just a technique, not worth mentioning!"

Liu Yi's eyes widened in surprise.

The realm of a great master is indeed different!

What seems incredibly profound and difficult to her is just a common skill to him, and he even seems uninterested in mentioning it, as if it's embarrassing...

This kind of detachment... is admirable.

"Then... can the senior teach me?"

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, looking at him with anticipation.

For someone of his realm, that scene might not be much, but for her, learning even a fraction of it could help her avenge her grievances!

"Do you want to learn how to chop wood?" Su Yin was taken aback.

Cultivation is so much better, flying through the air, living forever... what kind of person would choose to learn how to chop wood instead?

Liu Yi nodded quickly.

"This is quite simple to learn, but to reach my level, it will probably take at least a few months of hard practice. Let me teach you some basics!"

Seeing her determination, Su Yin shook his head, recalling his own learning experience, and asked with a smile: "What do you think is the first thing to practice when learning to chop wood?"

Knowing it was a test, Liu Yi thought for a moment and said seriously: "Holding the sword... no, holding the axe?"

Practicing sword techniques definitely starts with the basics, such as how to hold the sword, how to draw it, and how to strike, which are all crucial. The Thirty-Six Styles of Zhenxian start with these basics.

"Wrong!" Su Yin shook his head and said, "You must first practice your eyes! If you don't know where the wood is, how can you chop it? Even if you know the location, if you can't pinpoint it accurately, how can you chop it well?"

"Your eyesight is very important. Only by clearly seeing the position of the wood and finding its grain structure, and calculating the trajectory of the wood, can you make better chopping actions and split it more effectively."

"It's like deboning meat. If you don't know where the bones and joints are and just hack away with brute force, you won't achieve the skill of a master butcher; instead, it will backfire!"

This was what the soul fragment named Li Qiaofu taught him on the first day of learning to chop wood.

To practice his eyes, he endured a lot of pain.

"Eyes?"

Liu Yi's body trembled, and her mind buzzed as if a new world was slowly opening up.

Yes, practicing sword techniques starts with the eyes!

Only by seeing the opponent's moves and intentions in advance can you anticipate and respond accordingly!

In just a few words, he directly revealed the deepest secrets of sword techniques...

No wonder he is a great master, using chopping wood to illustrate sword techniques so clearly and profoundly.

Boom!

Understanding this, her previous confusion about sword techniques suddenly became clear, and her aura surged, quickly breaking through the fifth level of Qi Gathering to reach the sixth level.

With a flick of her wrist, she smoothly performed the sixth and seventh styles of the Zhenxian Sword Technique.

For a moment, the forest was filled with sword energy, the air was crisp, and the surrounding grass and trees were pressed down, unable to lift their heads.

"So strong..."

Su Yin was full of envy.

This is a cultivator!

He can only chop wood, but she can make the grass and trees bow with a simple movement... they are both in their late teens, yet the difference is so great.

So embarrassing, so shameful!

Just as he felt embarrassed, Liu Yi, after performing the sword techniques, bent her knees and knelt down, her gratitude evident in her eyes, unable to hide it.

"Thank you, senior, for your guidance! Liu Yi is deeply grateful..."

True admiration!

Breaking through so quickly is not just about understanding the essence of sword techniques but also absorbing some of the holy essence scattered when he chopped wood.

Therefore, the favor is truly immense!

"???"

Just as he was envying her, he saw her kneel, and Su Yin was stunned.

Is the courtesy so great?

I... what guidance did I give?

I just mentioned the most basic eye training, and then you understood...

What did you understand?

Could it be... this guy also knows I'm the great-uncle master, and like Chen Yu and Wu Yuan, he's just putting on a show?

If that's the case...

Zhenxian Sect... is really going all out!
