Chapter 922: Sword Practice
Zhou Wen randomly chose a practice sword. It was the commonly seen three-foot-long sword in the East District. It was straight and light.
The type of sword was actually not important to Zhou Wen. He wasnât planning to focus on a particular sword technique, but the thirteen sword techniques he had learned in the Peach Blossom Spring.
Strictly speaking, the sword stance wasnât important. What was truly important was the three thousand sword intents.
After hearing the veteranâs words, Zhou Wen realized that the appearance of the sword wasnât important. He needed to know what he could do with the sword.
âDraw your sword,â Zhou Wen said to Sadie.
Sadie didnât hesitate as she stabbed out with her armor-piercing sword at lightning speed.
Zhou Wen struck out at almost the same time. He was as fast as lightning, just like Sadie. They were both fast-attack sword techniques.
She won! Gulli saw Sadieâs sword reach Zhou Wenâs chest first. As for Zhou Wenâs sword, it was still a distance away from Sadie. He couldnât help but be overjoyed and nearly jumped up.
To him, being able to defeat Coach once was something worth being happy about.
Sadie never expected to win. She found it unbelievable.
âAgain.â Zhou Wenâs expression didnât change as he retracted his sword.
After Sadie retracted her sword, she used the same move again. Zhou Wen did the same speed versus speed clash, but the outcome was the same. Sadieâs sword touched Zhou Wen first.
âAgain,â Zhou Wen retracted his sword and continued.
Zhou Wen had only memorized the three thousand sword intents, but he hadnât actually practiced them. Now, Zhou Wen wanted to practice using the three thousand sword intents himself to truly understand the subtlety of the sword intents.
Sadie defeated Zhou Wen for a few consecutive rounds, but she was somewhat shocked.
Sadie had the Eye of Odin, so Zhou Wenâs actions looked like slow motion to her. Therefore, as long as her swordâs speed could keep up, Sadie could crack Zhou Wenâs sword techniques.
The same move against Sadie was almost doomed to failure. There was no chance of winning.
However, that wasnât the case. Every time Zhou Wen unsheathed his sword, the sword technique seemed to become much stronger than before. It wasnât just an improvement in technique and speed, but more importantly, the sword intent in his sword technique became stronger and stronger.
After more than ten strikes, Sadie had no choice but to use her movement technique to dodge Zhou Wenâs sword because her sword couldnât hit him first anymore.
However, once she retreated, there was no chance of winning. Zhou Wenâs sword techniques accelerated with every strike. Soon, Zhou Wenâs sword pointed at Sadieâs chest.
âI lost.â Sadie was convinced of her defeat.
After more than ten strikes, Zhou Wenâs sword technique had actually improved greatly. It was unimaginable.
Just imagine a person who was easily defeated by you more than ten times. Then, after more than ten strikes, you were no longer their match. How terrifying was that?
However, Sadie wasnât too surprised that such a thing had happened to Zhou Wen. Gulli and Li Xuan werenât surprised either. This was because he was Coach. It wasnât unacceptable that he could defeat Sadie.
Zhou Wen retracted his sword and seemed to ponder for a moment before saying, âContinue.â
Sadie didnât know what was the point of continuing practicing. Zhou Wenâs fast sword was something she could see, but not dodge. There was no point in continuing.
However, since Zhou Wen wanted to continue, Sadie had no choice but to continue.
However, this time, Sadie realized that Zhou Wenâs sword art was different. This time, Zhou Wenâs attack wasnât that fast or offensive. It seemed to have become a defensive sword art.
Strangely, the sword move Zhou Wen used was still the same.
The same sword move but with a completely different sword intent. The effects of the sword art seem to have completely changed. How did he do it?
Sadie was somewhat surprised as she knew why Zhou Wen wanted to continue.
However, this time, Zhou Wen was quickly defeated. This was because he was focused on defending and counterattacking, but due to the existence of the Eye of Odin, it was very difficult to defend against Sadieâs attacks.
âContinue.â Zhou Wenâs expression didnât change as he fought Sadie again.
After repeated failures, it became more and more difficult for Sadie to defeat Zhou Wen. Almost in the same manner as before, Sadie realized that she had no way of breaking through Zhou Wenâs defensive sword technique.
In the end, Sadie lost again.
However, Zhou Wen still wanted to continue. Furthermore, the sword art he used was still the same, but the sword intent had changed.
âWhatâs going on? Coach used a sword art with three different sword intents? How did he master it?â Gulli was dumbfounded.
âI donât know, but from the looks of it, there are more than three types of sword intents,â Li Xuan said.
Gulli was slightly stunned. âMore than three? Are you joking? Mastering three or more sword intents for one sword art isnât something a human can do, right?â
âHeâs Zhou Wen,â Li Xuan said as he stared intently at Zhou Wen.
Just as Li Xuan had said, Zhou Wen didnât just have three sword intents. In fact, it wasnât a human sword art. The white-robed man from the Peach Blossom Spring was no longer human, so his sword art was naturally not a human sword art. Even the white-robed man couldnât believe that Zhou Wen could memorize three thousand sword intents. It was obvious how unbelievable the sword art was.
âFour... Five... Six... Heavens... How many sword intents has Coach mastered?â Gulli felt like he was dreaming.
From the beginning until now, Zhou Wen had already used more than ten sword intents. He was basically beating Sadie in all kinds of fancy ways.
Regardless of which sword intent it was, it would gradually become stronger in Zhou Wenâs hands before defeating Sadie.
Sadie felt terrible, but at the same time, she was very excited. She was also a sword practitioner. To be able to face so many types of sword intents was of great help to her. Her understanding of the sword deepened as her sword techniques became stronger.
However, the speed at which she became stronger clearly couldnât keep up with Zhou Wen. As Zhou Wen used different sword intents, Gulli was already dazzled. He couldnât remember how many sword intents Zhou Wen had used.
âIs this fellow really human?â Gulli looked at Zhou Wen as though he was looking at a monster.
âWithout a doubt, Zhou Wen is physiologically human. Since he can do it, it means that this path is feasible,â Li Xuan said.
âI donât know if this path will work. In any case, I wonât be capable of doing it. Besides, thereâs no need for that, right? Just cultivating a single sword intent to the extreme is enough to defeat an opponent. Why do you have to cultivate so many different sword intents?â Gulli gave up. He had seen so many sword intents and felt that his mind was in a mess.
âZhou Wen naturally has his reasons for doing so. I havenât figured it out yet,â Li Xuan said seriously.
âForget it. Take your time. Anyway, Iâm only a human. I wonât get involved with monsters like you guys.â Gulli felt that he had come to the wrong place.
In the past, when he was in the Ultimate Family Clan, he was still considered a genius. Apart from existences like Lance and Sadie, he was always basking in the limelight.
However, ever since he had entered the Xuanwen Club, he felt like he had entered a perverted concentration camp, and he was one of the more normal ones.
