Chapter Thirty-Four: Blinking Sword Technique

  "Blinking Sword Technique?" Han Li muttered to himself, repeating the name of the sword technique.

  "Really? You think there's a connection between swordsmanship and blinking? The name is quite amusing, isn't it?"

  "Have you practiced this sword technique?" Han Li asked with concern.

  "Of course not. Who would practice a martial art that doesn't even use true energy? That's just a facade. Not to mention me, since its creation, no one has ever cultivated it."

  "It's said that if it weren't for the elder who founded it, who had saved the Seven Mysteries Sect from crisis several times and left a will before his death to include this sword technique in the Seven Extremes Hall, this Blinking Sword Technique wouldn't have been included in the Seven Extremes Hall's list of ultimate techniques."

  Lethal Flying Rain, despite his cold exterior, had a big mouth. Before Han Li could even ask, he had already revealed the bottom line of this sword technique. Of course, his big mouth only showed itself in front of Han Li. Outside, in front of other fellow disciples, he became that cool idol "Lethal Big Brother" again.

  Han Li listened to Lian Fei Yu's narrative and his fifth sense vaguely told him that this was what he had been searching for all along.

  "Brother Li, can you copy down this sword technique for me and bring it out of the Seven Extremes Hall?"

  "Hehe! No problem, if I were to give you a copy of other martial arts techniques, it would be difficult because there are people checking every day. But this Blinking Sword Technique is placed in a corner and nobody pays attention to it. However, copying it down is too much trouble, so I'll just quietly bring out the original sword manual for you. Once you've memorized or copied it, I'll sneakily put it back, and absolutely no one will notice."

  Han Li saw that he seemed very confident, so he agreed with his approach.

  He was also worried that the person in front of him had a bad habit of being careless and sloppy, and if he accidentally leaked a few places while teaching him swordsmanship, wouldn't it be unjust to him.

  It's even better if you can get the original sword spectrum now.

  "Alright, it's getting late, I should head back to practice. Otherwise, I'll be discovered by the manager of the Seventh Absolute Hall for sneaking out again." Lü Feiyu wiped himself dry, put on his top, and prepared to leave.

  Han Li didn't say anything else, only reminding him to be careful when stealing the sword manual, and not to fall into it.

  Lethal Rain turned around nonchalantly, waving his hand at him with the back of his hand, and slowly crawled out of a nearby cave.

  Han Li saw his back gradually disappearing in the cave entrance, and the smile on his face also gradually faded away, revealing a few strands of dark clouds.

  Not long after Liefeng Yu left, Han Li also returned to Shengshou Valley.

  As soon as he returned to Shen Shou Gu, Han Li saw the tall mysterious man from a distance.

  He stood motionless outside the door of the Mo Dai's house, close to the entrance, with his head bowed under the eaves, seemingly not caring about the scorching sun on a summer day.

  Han Li stopped at the door of his own house and gazed at this man who never spoke.

  Since being threatened by Mo Daifu, Han Li had been very interested in this man who never showed his true face. This person seemed to be born mute, and after arriving at the valley, he had never spoken a word.

  What's even more bizarre is that this person has an astonishing physical strength, standing still like this, often for a whole day, and he has never seen him get tired. In Han Li's heart, he had already given him the title of "monster".

  He also tried to communicate with this person, but he was as unresponsive as a wooden stake, no matter how eloquent Han Li's words were, he simply ignored him.

  Han Li was thoroughly convinced by Mo Daifu, and he could actually train a living person into being like a puppet with no weaknesses.

  Absolute obedience to orders, astonishing physical strength, never speaks a word, and has no emotions whatsoever. Although his martial arts skills are still unknown, they certainly won't be weak - this was his final assessment of the man.

  Han Li knew that this person was likely to become another trump card for Mo Daifu, but he had no way out, and he couldn't find any weaknesses in him.

  The only thing that made Han Li somewhat puzzled was that occasionally when he looked at the person's back from behind, he would have a very familiar feeling, as if he had seen the same figure there before. But whenever he thought about it, he couldn't recall whose back it resembled.

  After a while, Han Li sighed and closed the door, returning to the house. He knew that without Master's order, this person would not go to rest.

  He was somewhat discomfited, and with one swift step he sprang onto his own bed, his body falling backwards as he lay there, then placing both hands behind his head, closing his eyes.

  He replayed the moves he learned from Lifi today in his mind, and silently simulated them with his brain, dividing each move into several segments, and then repeatedly pushed and pondered carefully.

  This is Han Li's Long Spring Cultivation reaching the fifth layer, a newly acquired ability, photographic memory.

  He took advantage of this and could use his brain to completely memorize any martial arts, then play it back countless times in his mind, tempering and sublimating it. This was also the reason why Lethal Rain thought he was a genius.

  Two months ago, Han Li relied on the power of two sacred medicines to forcibly break through the fourth layer of the Long Spring Meridian and reached the fifth layer.

  "The Huáng Lóng Dān" and "Jīn Guì Wán" had an effect so great, far beyond Han Li's expectations, he still underestimated the immense power of those few formula sheets, these prepared pills were truly priceless treasures.

  However, the two kinds of washing marrow spiritual medicine have also been used up by a small half, and the remaining should barely be enough for oneself to practice the sixth layer of Long Spring Skill. It's really somewhat anticipated what kind of unexpectedness the sixth layer of Long Spring Skill will bring to oneself.

  The deadline for Mo Daifu's final ultimatum is only half a year away, and although he has learned some moves from Lie Feiyu, without the corresponding inner family true energy to match, they can only be considered superficial skills.

  It can deal with people who have rough and general martial arts skills, but if used against Mo Daifu, it would be like throwing a meat bun at a dog, gone without return.

  Han Li thought about this and felt a bit worried and annoyed. His Long Spring Fist was perfect in every way, but it couldn't be used in actual combat or killing.

  He now has his hopes pinned on that Blinking Sword Technique, hoping it will bring him a surprise.
