The soul power attached to the sword tip was like a silver needle, piercing the wrist.
Although the skin was not punctured, the pain was worse than it was.
"Ding ding——"
Amid the severe sting, Su Luoheng's fingers relaxed, and the long sword was knocked to the ground.
Seeing this, Ji Juechen stopped attacking, sheathed his sword and stood up.
"Lost again..."
Su Luoheng rubbed his sore wrist, looked at Ji Juechen beside him, and sighed sadly.
Originally, he thought that Ji Juechen had suppressed his soul power at the same level as the Soul Lord, and that he would be able to draw even if he was in trouble. However, the reality gave him a hard blow in the head.
Even if his soul power is at the same level, he has never lasted more than five minutes.
He obviously has soul power at the soul master level, but the strength he exerts is always stronger than his own.
Everyone is of the same strength, why is there such a gap?
Su Luoheng looked depressed and puzzled.
At this time, Ji Juechen's calm voice sounded again.
"You care too much about form. Swordsmanship is not as complicated as you think. The so-called swordsmanship, no matter how exquisite it is, is for the purpose of better displaying your strength, rather than restricting your performance within the framework of swordsmanship."
"This is putting the cart before the horse."
"Swordsmanship is not a one-trick, step-by-step approach. What is needed in combat is flexible use."
"..."
"Swinging a sword, drawing a sword, no matter how exquisite the swordsmanship is, are all composed of these two basic movements, nothing more."
"Fancy movements will only affect the speed of your sword."
After a pause, Ji Juechen held an iron sword and demonstrated the same swordsmanship as Su Luoheng.
Although the swordsmanship is the same, it has suddenly changed.
After getting rid of those fancy and useless moves, the sword moves became sharp and concise, one move after another, far more powerful than when Su Luoheng used it before.
"..."
Su Luoheng concentrated on observing the drill.
He felt that what he had been unable to understand before now had a new understanding.
After a while, Ji Juechen finished demonstrating his last sword.
Su Luoheng, on the other hand, sat cross-legged and realized something, thinking carefully about it based on the drills and instructions.
After a quarter of an hour, he looked suddenly enlightened.
"Senior, please enlighten me."
Immediately, he picked up the iron sword on the ground and launched an offensive against Ji Juechen again. Compared with before, this time, although it was not as good as Ji Juechen's previous practice, his swordsmanship had also changed significantly.
Seeing this, Ji Juechen nodded slightly, and the corners of his mouth curved into an indifferent arc.
Then he responded with his sword.
"..."
Although Su Luoheng has improved somewhat, he is still not good enough compared to Ji Juechen.
Not surprisingly, he failed again.
But this time he was in high spirits, without any frustration or distress.
After a brief summary, we plunged into the battle again.
For a time, the sound of sonorous swords kept ringing in the first swordsmanship training room. Su Luoheng continued to learn changes during the drill. Whenever he was confused, Ji Juechen would give timely reminders.
In the blink of an eye, another month passed.
There is still more than a month left before the Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition.
Under the guidance of the two swordsman masters Ji Juechen and Li Yuxuan, Su Luoheng could not hold out for five minutes before, then ten minutes, twenty minutes, until he was able to fight to the point of exhaustion, which shows how fast Su Luoheng has improved.
Ji Juechen was not wrong.
When it comes to learning swordsmanship, Su Luoheng is indeed extremely talented.
"Buzz-"
Suddenly, Su Luoheng seized the opportunity and swung his sword out, making a buzzing sound.
Ji Juechen reacted very quickly and immediately dodged to avoid the sword edge.
But when the long sword fell, it still passed through the corner of his clothes and cut off a small piece of Ji Juechen's sleeve robe on his right hand.
After one strike of the sword, Su Luoheng had no more strength left.
He staggered back a few steps, leaned against the edge of the trial platform, panted, inserted his long sword into the ground, and wiped the fine sweat from his forehead.
"Your sword is very good."
Ji Juechen picked up the torn sleeves on the ground with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Over the past month, he could see Su Luoheng's progress.
"Thank you also, senior, for your guidance."
After saying that, Su Luoheng slightly arched his hands, cupped his fists, and saluted Ji Juechen respectfully.
"Your swordsmanship has improved a lot during this period."
Su Luoheng frowned slightly and said with a distressed expression, "Senior, I find that my swordsmanship seems to have stalled."
Hearing this, Ji Juechen was slightly surprised, "I didn't expect you to encounter a bottleneck now."
"bottleneck?"
Su Luoheng was stunned for a moment.
Ji Juechen nodded slightly and explained, "Everyone's way of swordsmanship is different. Mastering swordsmanship is just the beginning. You still have to find your own path, which is swordsmanship. However, I am still exploring the way of swordsmanship, so I can help
Nothing to do for you."
"But if you encounter a bottleneck, it's neither good nor bad for you."
"If you can break through the bottleneck, your swordsmanship will improve by leaps and bounds. Otherwise, it will stop here."
After hearing Ji Juechen's words, Su Luoheng understood something in his heart.
"Senior, have you made a breakthrough?"
Ji Juechen was silent for a moment, a trace of confusion flashed through his deep eyes, and he said slowly, "Now, I can barely make a breakthrough..."
His swordsmanship is still improving, but he is not clear about the way of swordsmanship either.
Ji Juechen knew that breakthroughs in swordsmanship required constant training and fighting, so when he first joined the academy, he often competed with Li Yuxuan in swordsmanship.
Hone yourself in pure sword fighting, and break through in the collision of swords.
He made rapid progress at that time, but the good times did not last long.
Although the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy is full of geniuses.
But this is the soul master academy after all, and there are still too few people who have made achievements in swordsmanship.
To this day, Teacher Li can no longer satisfy the collision of swordsmanship.
Therefore, he doesn't know what state he is in now.
No matter how talented a person is, his abilities are limited after all.
Therefore, he valued Su Luoheng and even reduced his sword practice time to provide guidance, hoping that in the future there would be someone who was no weaker than him to work alongside him.
Su Luoheng has good swordsmanship talent.
Although he can't do it now, he won't be able to do it in the future.
"That……"
Su Luoheng was about to ask when he suddenly sensed something, and a look of joy flashed between his brows!
"anymore question?"
Ji Juechen noticed the change in the expression on her face and couldn't help but ask.
"nothing."
Su Luoheng waved his hand and said, "Thank you, senior, for your careful teaching this month and your guidance today."
"I hope you can break through the bottleneck soon."
After Ji Juechen said that, he turned and left.
Su Luoheng didn't stay too long and quickly returned to his dormitory.
…
…
Open the door, close the door, lock the door.
Go to bed, close your eyes, and cross your legs.
Su Luoheng's movements were done in one go, and it looked like he had been honed for a long time.
Soon, he entered an ethereal state, and his consciousness condensed into a spiritual body, appearing above the sea of spirit.
At this moment, the sea of spirit.
The blue-green lake rippled slightly, and the bead began to rotate, quickly forming a gray mist, which soon gathered into a familiar old man in gray robes.
