Chapter 40: Swordsmanship Guidance (Part 2) (Third Update Sent)

  The sun rises in the east, with red clouds stretching for thousands of miles.

  The northern peak was shrouded in red mist.

  Beifeng Plain

  Cloud Gathering

  "Gathering Clouds"

  "Thousands of times" nearly a thousand ordinary disciples, at the same time displaying one move and one style from the Cloud Gathering Sword Law, using it out one by one. Lu Yuan stood on the large bluestone, watching the disciples practicing their swords below. At this moment, even Lu Yuan had to admit that although the swordsmanship of these disciples was clumsy, indeed, with so many people displaying the same sword move together, the scene was quite grand.

  Obviously, when the swordsmanship guidance was not so easy, next, he had to go down and point out the shortcomings of these ordinary disciples in their swordsmanship. The ninth elder naturally followed, Lu Yuan walked in front of a person, looked at his swordsmanship, and saw through his swordsmanship with a slight glance: "Your swordsmanship is too hard, Yunxi Swordsmanship doesn't need to be stiff."

  Then, he walked in front of another disciple: "Your swordsmanship is too soft and biased, the softness of the cloud is very different from your softness."

  "Your swordsmanship has too much mana attached to it, basically releasing all the mana into the sword. It's almost enough with just 60% of your mana. The Cloud System Sword Technique emphasizes the balance between releasing and not releasing mana, grasping this is key."

  "Your swordsmanship is too focused on the sword moves and has become too stiff. A person can't be too rigid."

  "Your swordsmanship is somewhat stiff."

  ……

  "Your swordsmanship is too fast, you don't need to use the sword that quickly. If you practiced water-based swordsmanship at this speed it would be okay, but don't forget, you're practicing cloud-based swordsmanship." Lu Yuan could point out the flaws in one's swordsmanship with just a glance and had pointed out the mistakes of countless disciples along the way.

  The level of swordsmanship is too high.

  It's as if looking down on these people, because they are looking down on these people, so they can easily see the strengths and weaknesses of their swordsmanship, etc.

  And the ordinary ninth-generation elder next to him was stunned, he was a ninth-generation elder who had been practicing swordsmanship for nearly a hundred years, but he couldn't do what Lu Yuan did, just by glancing at these disciples' sword techniques, he could immediately point out their weaknesses. Even if the top two true transmission disciples, Yun Yi and Yun Ping, came, they might not have such skills. That's why this ninth-generation elder was stunned.

  He was pointing and pointing, but suddenly he was taken aback.

  In front of him, standing upright was Si Tu Zuo, and beside him were several others, namely Si Tu You, Sima Wen, and Sima Yan. These four, although they were the personal guards of Sima Longbai, were actually ordinary disciples. Last time at the North Peak Grand Assembly, they had tried to harm him but ended up being defeated by themselves.

  At this time, seeing the expressions on these four faces is quite interesting.

  "Hmm, what's with the four of you? You want to challenge me?" Lu Yuan said casually. If these four dared to answer, it was clear that he didn't mind teaching them a lesson again. At the time of the Ben Feng Grand Competition, he could already surpass these four people, and now it would be even simpler and easier. After all, he had been making progress all along, and the extent of his progress was quite significant.

  These four naturally nodded in agreement, they were under Sima Changbai's command and naturally understood that Lu Yuan's strength had recently improved again. In the battle at Yunwu Mountain Valley, he was indeed quite impressive and made people admire him. Now, they didn't have the courage to challenge Lu Yuan again.

  "By the way, where's Sima Hao?" Lu Yuan looked at these four people with a defeated look, without any intention of taking action, and didn't bother to take action. After all, taking action here would be against the rules, and he wasn't one to care about rules, but the rules were set by humans, specifically by the ancestors of Beifeng, and he currently didn't have the power to defy these rules.

  So, it's just temporary, and casually asked about another Sima Hao.

  Situ Zuo and four others all looked embarrassed, Sima Hao heard that this time the swordsmanship instructor was Lu Yuan, naturally he wouldn't come.

  Several people had nothing to say, and Lu Yuan naturally wouldn't be bored enough to instruct them, so he walked over naturally.

  That evening, when the sunset was burning red on the western mountain, he finally finished this swordsmanship guidance. At this time, Lu Yuan was so tired that he could hardly breathe smoothly. Finally, it's over, and this swordsmanship guidance is finally considered complete. This time was really tiring enough. Although guiding each person took extremely short time, just a brief moment, but overall, after combining everything, he guided nearly a thousand people, and the time spent was quite long, taking up an entire day. Fortunately, it's finally over. As for other true disciples doing this swordsmanship guidance, it's said that they usually need to spend several days, so he can be considered to have saved some time to rest.

  Returned to his own residence in Changchun and casually picked up a book to read.

  This book was given by an ordinary disciple earlier and is said to have recorded the famous figures of the 9th and 10th generations of Beifeng Liu Jian Xian.

  Anyway, I'm quite free now, so I'll just take a casual look.

  The book unfolded, revealing a portrait of Yuan Yuanshang, the master of Beifeng. The portrait was quite lifelike. On it was written: "Yuan Yuanshang, Master of Beifeng, paired with the sword 'Yuanshi Lingjian', creator of the 'Yuanshi Sword Technique'." It turned out that flying swords had a higher level called spiritual swords, which only sword immortals could possess. Above spiritual swords were immortal swords, extremely rare and hard to find, occasionally appearing in someone's hands.

  Turning to the second page was a portrait of Sima Changbai, like the day sword Sima Changbai, with a sword, like the day spirit sword, self-created swordsmanship: Taiyi Swordsmanship.

  The third page is a portrait of Dugu Ye, with the words "Lone Heart Lone Leaf" written below. He wears a sword at his side, and the name of the sword is "One Leaf Divine Sword". He created his own sword technique: "Knowing Arrival Sword Technique".

  The fourth page is a portrait of Junzi Jianfang Ru, Junzi Jianfang Ru, paired with a sword, Haoran Lingjian, self-created swordsmanship: Junzi Swordsmanship.

  The fifth page is a portrait of Enryō Yorinaga, Enryō Yorinaga, paired swords, Yorinaga's spirit sword, self-created sword method, Enryō sword method.

  The sixth page is a portrait of Master Li Yuanbai, the Twilight Sword Li Yuanbai, paired with the sword, the Twilight Spirit Sword, self-created swordsmanship, the Twilight Swordsmanship.

  The seventh page is a portrait of Feitian Sword Chu Fei, Feitian Sword Chu Fei, paired sword, Feitian Lingjian, swordsmanship, Chongtian Jiuling Jianfa.

  From page 8 to page 10, three famous ninth-generation elders were recorded. Starting from page 11, the introductions of the tenth-generation true transmission disciples began.

  Da Di Zi Yun Yi, equipped with a sword, Zhong Zheng Sword. When he reached the true transmission disciple level, he used flying swords instead of spiritual swords.

  Second Brother Yun Ping, paired with Dragon Head Sword.

  Third Brother Ling Yuzhu, paired with a sword, Jade Sash Sword.

  Fourth brother Fang Dan, paired with sword, light and thin sword.

  Wu Di Zi Sima Bo, paired with a sword, Bo Ri Jian.

  Sixth Disciple Lu Yuan, paired with Sword, Hao Ran Sword.

  Seven Disciples Know Peace, Match Swords, Peaceful Sword.

  Ba Di Zi Ye Fei, paired with a sword, One Cry Sword.

  Jiǔ dì zǐ yè fāng, pèi jiàn, fāng zhèng jiàn.

  Translation:

  The ninth son is Ye Fang, paired with a sword, the name of the sword is Fang Zheng.

  The tenth son Ye Yuan, paired with a sword, painted a round sword.

  Dim light.

  In the dim light, Yuan Shang stroked his white beard, and in front of him stood the Ninth Elder who had accompanied Lu Yuan that morning. Yuan Shang narrowed his eyes: "Lu Yuan didn't take the opportunity to win over ordinary disciples, it seems this one doesn't have much intention of winning people over either, so we can rest assured."

  That ninth-generation elder naturally also knew that the master of North Peak was referring to which one to put his heart at ease. It turned out that Yun Yi and Yun Ping were vying for supremacy, but now Lu Yuan had risen strongly. Although for now, Lu Yuan had not shown the strength to rival Yun Yi and Yun Ping, he had a shocking potential, and in the future, he might be able to contend with these two men.

  The current Chu-Han rivalry may become a three-kingdom struggle in the future.

  However, judging from Lu Yuan's temperament, he probably won't get involved in this matter.

  The Ninth Elder nodded: "Lu Yuan's nature is indeed lazy, which is good. A sect also needs some lazy people, after all, internal harmony is the most important thing for a sect. Alright, you can go down now, I know about this matter." The Ninth Elder naturally retreated repeatedly.

  Under the dim light, Yuan Yuan stroked his beard and muttered to himself: "It seems that we won't need to arrange swordsmanship guidance for Lu Yuan in the future."

  "Laziness also has its advantages, in this way, maintaining harmony within the sect is much easier."

  Boom! A thunderbolt exploded, illuminating the two dragon and phoenix characters "Harmony" above Yuan's study.

  These two words seem to hold endless mysteries.
