Chapter 76: Practicing Sword Under the Waterfall (Part 1)
Clear sky.
The warm sunshine shines on the ground.
On a sunny day like this, Lu Yuan would normally be delighted. It's late spring, not too hot, and the sun is shining brightly. Lying on the grass, taking a nap, feeling very comfortable, with a bottle of wine by his side, drinking a sip after waking up, he would feel extremely relaxed. However, it seems that Lu Yuan hasn't been fond of sunny days lately.
Hurry up and rain already, even if it's just a shower.
Lu Yuan is now looking forward to the rain.
Not that I don't like rain, or wind, or fog, or poetic and picturesque things. In my eyes, they're not as appealing as a pig's trotter. No way, I'm just a commoner, a big commoner who loves good food and good wine, can't be elegant.
Digressing, I found a book called "Rainstorm Swordsmanship" in my master's study room. To practice the Rainstorm Swordsmanship, one naturally hopes for rain.
If it were an ordinary cultivator, to practice a sword technique, absolutely no need for rain, you practice the Rain Sword Technique and still need to rain, then practice the Snow Sword Technique and still need to snow, where is that troublesome, normal cultivators only need to follow the routine, step by step according to the formula to cultivate.
However, practicing swordsmanship in that way is possible. The swordsmanship practiced in this way has only become a technique at most, and it can reach the second realm of swordsmanship where one is not limited by sword techniques, but it does not understand the underlying intention. To directly point to the third realm of sword intent is impossible.
For someone like Lu Yuan who has grasped the intent of the sword, everything is pointless if one hasn't grasped the intent of the sword.
So, now that I want to practice the Rain Sword Technique, I should watch the rain in the sky and on the ground, hoping to grasp the sword's intention through this. As a result, for some unknown reason, it has been sunny all along the way recently, not even a single drop of rain, let alone a steady drizzle, not to mention a sudden downpour.
Alas, it's all in vain, I'm completely unable to master the Rainstorm Sword Technique now.
Observing his intentions and practicing swordsmanship, his own method of practicing swordsmanship was originally very different from that of other disciples of the tenth generation, but it was similar to the practice of a famous swordsman of the ninth generation.
It seems that the Rainstorm Sword Technique cannot be practiced for the time being. With several days of no rain, Lu Yuan also had no way to practice and could only temporarily give up on practicing the Rainstorm Sword Technique.
The Urgent Rain Sword Technique can't be practiced for the time being, but I need to think of a way to increase the speed of the sword.
Swift sword!
A flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind.
On the top of Beifeng, there are many waterfalls. Those waterfalls, between mountain streams or flying straight down, some even dozens of feet high, have a strong impact force when rushing down. Perhaps it's a good place to practice sword skills, and one can use the waterfall to practice their own sword speed.
——————
Beifeng has a considerable number of waterfalls.
The most famous one should be the Triple Waterfall, which is a cliff that is divided into three sections. The water of the waterfall flows down from the top and breaks into three sections, forming a unique triple-layered waterfall landscape.
At this time, the Triple Waterfall was surrounded by people. The 500th birthday of Yuanyuan Shangren was approaching, and many guests came to Beifeng. Naturally, they would go sightseeing around Beifeng, including famous scenic spots such as Jiaogong Stone Room, Changchun Stone Room, Yunu Window, Xiangu Temple, Shentu Cliff, Yiyun Pavilion, Laojun Hanging Plow, Tie Niu Tai, and Baiyun Xianjing Stone Archway. The Triple Waterfall also had a large number of visitors.
In fact, there are also some unknown waterfalls on Beifeng.
Less than a hundred miles away from the Three-tiered Waterfall, there is another waterfall here. However, this waterfall is completely unknown and can't be compared to the famous Three-tiered Waterfall. The surrounding area is also mostly muddy terrain, so very few people come here.
This nameless waterfall is over thirty feet high, and the huge waterfall rushes into the water pool with a loud roar, stirring up a large white splash.
At this time, in the middle of the pond, a young man was standing upright.
This young man, about seventeen or eighteen years old, carried a flying sword on his back, and his eyes showed a serious expression.
Lu Yuan took a deep breath.
Looking at the waterfall in front of him, yes, this time he was going to practice his sword here. At this moment, Lu Yuan's eyes showed a serious expression that was completely different from his usual lazy and casual demeanor. This was Lu Yuan's temperament - usually lazy and casual, but once he became serious, he would put in several times more effort than others.
Practicing swordplay under the waterfall, the water flows down with a loud rumble, possessing immense power. To practice swordplay under such a waterfall is equivalent to sailing against the current.
In such a situation, I will draw my sword under the waterfall. As long as I can draw my sword in the waterfall faster than drawing it out of thin air, once I emerge from the waterfall, my sword speed will far surpass its original speed. This is my plan.
Human thinking cannot be limited to one aspect. It's not just that mastering the Rain Sword Intent can speed up the sword, but there are other ways to do so as well.
Boom!
The closer you get to the waterfall, the more you feel the immense force of the waterfall, and the closer you get, the more it feels like the entire world is rumbling down in front of you. What a terrifying power! The huge white water splashes on your face, slightly stinging.
No more nonsense, with a pat on the sword scabbard, a flash of red light flashed around the Long Rainbow Sword as it was unsheathed, and with a turn of his hand, he grasped the hilt of the Long Rainbow Sword.
This time, it was Changhong Sword.
The sword I use to fight is my own, but for ordinary practice, I'll use the Long Rainbow Sword. Even a flying sword needs maintenance, and if you don't give it time to rest and keep using it non-stop, that sword won't be able to withstand such treatment either.
Changhong Sword was placed under the waterfall, and only then did it feel an overwhelming power rushing towards its Changhong Sword, causing its Changhong Sword to continuously fall downwards. At this time, he activated his magical powers on the sword, which finally stopped the sword from sinking further.
However, even so, it is still quite difficult to move upwards.
The Changhong sword was slowly lifted upwards, and at this time, the speed of lifting upwards was slow to an extreme degree. There was no trace of the usual lightness and agility of the Changhong sword, and the slowness was like that of an old ox pulling a broken cart. However, even so, after training for a while, I felt that my internal energy had been almost fully utilized.
A thirty-foot waterfall crashes down, with such great power! It makes his current sword speed slow to the extreme, like a snail, and even the Long Rainbow Sword is somewhat bent.
Honestly, I didn't know that a waterfall over thirty feet high had such great power before practicing swordplay. After exhausting my magical powers, I sat back on the giant stone at the edge of the pool and casually ate some food, also using the seven cloud creatures in the seal to recover my own magical powers. When my powers began flowing again, I once more plunged into the waterfall and started practicing my swordplay.
At this time, Lu Yuan also discovered that practicing sword with such a waterfall can not only practice one's own sword speed but also practice magic power. It is indeed a two-in-one thing.
It's getting late from typing, and it's even later now, what a pity.
