Chapter Eighteen: Sword Drawing Technique

  At this moment, Ling Jing only had 4 talent points left to use. He immediately found the martial arts icon called "Drawing Sword Technique - Primary" as he had previously thought, and a line of small words jumped in front of his eyes.

  "Drawing Sword Technique - Primary: The sword flashes out like a startled swan, calm as a boulder, moving like lightning, defeating the enemy in an instant."

  "Activation Conditions: Insight 60 points or more, Internal Energy 60 points or more, Root Bone 40 points or more"

  "Eligible for promotion to intermediate martial arts"

  He looked at this martial art, and his eyes flickered with a faint light. This primary sword-drawing technique was just an inferior martial art, but its wonder lay in the fact that from start to finish, it only had one move - "Drawing the Sword"!

  Those who study martial arts often draw swords and knives, but few people will truly calm down and ponder the learning of this "drawing sword" action.

  However, Ling Jing was different from the native warriors of this world. His thoughts were brought from his previous life, and he knew that if he worked on these subtle details, he might be able to achieve extraordinary results.

  Moreover, the superior martial arts he has learned are not few, and the ingenious moves in his mind are countless. However, if he wants to further improve his swordsmanship, he can only do so by slowly comprehending and studying them, merging these superior martial arts into one, and then it will be possible.

  But doing so would be too time-consuming, after all, he was just an ordinary person with limited energy. Even if he had a high level of comprehension, it would be difficult to simultaneously comprehend so many advanced martial arts. So he thought, why not look for some unconventional martial arts on the Heavenly Gift Tree to cultivate?

  In this way, then this "sword-drawing technique" is quite suitable.

  With the idea settled, he immediately began searching on the Talent Tree again. Since the introductory text of this basic sword-drawing technique mentioned that it could be upgraded, there must be a higher-level sword-drawing technique on the Talent Tree.

  After a while, he indeed found a martial art called "Sword Drawing Technique - Intermediate" on the second layer of the Heavenly Gift Tree. He continued to look down and found two more martial arts, "Sword Drawing Technique - Advanced" on the third layer and "Sword Drawing Technique - Ultimate" on the fourth layer.

  He was amazed in his heart, thinking that the Tianfu Tree system was indeed extraordinary. Not only did it record the martial arts of a hundred schools, but it also included such an obscure and unconventional martial art like this one, and even created a unique martial arts promotion system, truly a stroke of genius.

  When he played "Wuxia Myth" before, he had never seen such a martial arts promotion mode. He was naturally surprised by the system's originality.

  At this time, he looked at the three martial arts behind him again. The system introduction was similar, but the opening condition of "Sword Drawing Technique - Intermediate" had changed to "Sword Drawing Technique - Primary" cultivation to perfection, comprehension 70 points or higher, internal force 90 points or higher, and root bone 50 points or higher.

  And then the opening conditions of the next two stages of "Drawing Sword Technique" were even more difficult, he only took a glance and slightly frowned before shifting his gaze away.

  At this time, he first added the three innate points to the martial arts icon of "Sword Drawing Technique - Primary", and saw that the icon immediately lit up. Following closely, a thin green line extended from the bottom of the icon, directly connecting to the "Sword Drawing Technique - Intermediate" icon below.

  He smiled slightly and thought to himself that the system's guidance was actually quite good, so in the future when he wanted to find an advanced version of the Sword Extraction Technique, it would be very clear and straightforward.

  At this moment, he suddenly felt a swelling in his brain, and soon became somewhat dazed, his body swayed slightly, and his eyes also lost their focus.

  Ling Jing was startled in her heart, thinking that something had gone wrong with her body, only to discover that many sword-wielding figures had suddenly appeared in her mind, overlapping and densely packed, numbering no less than a hundred.

  He was also somewhat confused for a moment, and he calmed himself down to look at these dark shadows.

  But in the blink of an eye, these black shadows all moved at once. Some drew their swords with a reverse motion, some with a sideways motion, and others charged forward, rolling and drawing their swords... The various sword-drawing movements were so dazzling that his eyes were blurred, and he felt great curiosity in his heart. He felt as if each of the shadowy figures was like an extension of himself, and he could see every one of their movements clearly at the same time. It was as if he himself were wielding a sword.

  But outside, his dazed eyes also flashed with the figures of people drawing their swords, and his eyes were like a copper mirror, reflecting the scenes in his mind one by one.

  Ling Jing was immersed in observing and understanding the black shadows, but after a while, he saw that more than 100 black shadows suddenly jumped towards one place. All the black shadows slowly overlapped together, finally transforming into a black stream of light, which rushed towards him with a "whoosh".

  He was shocked in his heart, only came just in time "ah" a sound, and immediately felt a momentary blankness in his brain.

  When he came back to himself, he found that he had regained consciousness. He looked around at the familiar stone walls and finally let out a slight sigh of relief.

  Although he had previously lit up martial arts on the talent tree, it was all through his own understanding and premature enlightenment. He didn't expect that after using the additive method to light up the martial arts on the talent tree for the first time, he would learn and understand in this way.

  He closed his eyes and thought back to the elementary "sword drawing technique" he had just grasped, and suddenly a lot of insights surged in his heart, this feeling was as if he had been practicing this martial art for a long time.

  A moment later, he opened his eyes and stared straight at the stone wall in front of him, then put the long sword in his hand back into its scabbard, slightly raised.

  He took a deep breath, his face revealing a hint of solemnity. In the blink of an eye, his right hand suddenly pressed onto the hilt of his sword, moving so fast it was almost like a residual shadow.

  At this moment, a silver light flashed by, and the secret cave was quiet as before, as if nothing had happened.

  Ling Jing stood still on the spot, his body maintaining its previous posture, his hand still pressed on the hilt of his sword, looking as if he had never moved.

  But following his gaze, one could discover that on the stone wall opposite him, a sword scar about three or four inches long had appeared at some unknown time.

  He looked at this sword mark, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, praising: "This 'Sword Drawing Technique' is really powerful."

  He had just used the Sword Withdrawal Technique to slash at the stone wall in front of him, and the two actions of withdrawing and sheathing his sword were completed in an instant, with a speed that even he himself found astonishing.

  What's even more frightening is that just now when he used the sword-drawing technique, there wasn't a single sound in the entire secret cave. Normally, drawing a sword would produce the sound of the blade scraping against the scabbard, but this guy has only reached the initial stage of the sword-drawing technique and can already draw his sword silently. If he uses this in actual combat, it will definitely have an unexpected effect.

  He was very satisfied with this sword-drawing technique in his heart, and hurriedly added the only remaining point of innate talent to "Sword-Drawing Technique - Intermediate Upper", and saw a slight flash, this intermediate sword-drawing technique was also lit up, and the progress in the lower right corner became "1/6".

  He closed his eyes and waited quietly for the changes in his mind.

  The dark shadows reappeared, but this time there were only about a dozen or so dark shadows practicing the "Sword Draw" technique at the same time, and many of the sword-drawing moves were not satisfactory.

  He knew in his heart that it was because he hadn't spent enough talent points, so the system didn't show him all the cultivation methods. For now, he wouldn't think about it too much and would carefully absorb them instead.

  PS: I really like a martial art called "drawing sword technique", which is said to be "essential for killing people and setting fires at home or on the road", haha.
