The Essentials of Swordsmanship records all the moves used by great swordsmen.
Every great swordsman has stood at the pinnacle of swordsmanship. Although their swordsmanship is completely different, their swordsmanship is similar.
The great swordsman's sword moves have long been reduced from complexity to simplicity. As the saying goes, the great swordsman's sword moves may look ordinary, simple and not gorgeous, but it is this extremely simple move that makes them extremely powerful.
becomes twelve points.
Looking at this book on the essence of swordsmanship, Jiang Feng's expression changed from being dull at the beginning to being obsessed with it now. It turns out that the sword can still be used in this way.
After more than ten days of repeated practice, Jiang Feng is no longer as unfamiliar with the sword as before. The great swordsman's sword moves are extremely exquisite, and the essence of swordsmanship is also recorded in great detail. Jiang Feng has made rapid progress in the past ten days.
Jiang Feng has already sorted out his own set of swordsmanship, which can be used both offensively and defensively. The rest just needs to be perfected in the future.
Looking at the black feather sword in his hand, Jiang Feng felt that the black feather sword was no longer a sea stone used to restrain devil fruit ability users, but a part of his own body, a derivative of his own body.
After becoming a swordsman, the next step is to understand the "breath of all things" and become a swordsman.
Thinking of "the breath of all things", Jiang Feng couldn't help but recall the episode in his memory where Sauron understood the breath of all things. Sauron spent a lot of time and energy before he understood the breath of all things and took the first step in the way of swordsmanship.
Compared with Suolong Jiang Feng, it was much easier because the "breath of all things" was recorded in detail in the essence of swordsmanship.
The so-called "breathing of all things" simply means different states of different things. Different things exist in different forms, such as air. Air is invisible and intangible, so how to cut it off.
If you want to cut off the air, you must first feel it, feel the existence of the air, feel the flow of the air, feel the essence of the air, and then you can cut it off.
If you swing your sword casually, does this count as cutting the air?
Of course not, the real way to cut through the air is to cut out a vacuum zone with one sword.
To understand "the breath of all things" is to understand the essence of all things.
The prerequisite for achieving this is that the mind must be strong and the mind must be focused.
Yes, it's that simple. It sounds very simple, but it is very difficult to completely concentrate. It is difficult for ordinary people to concentrate because there are too many distracting thoughts in their minds, making it difficult to concentrate on something.
.
When you put aside all the distracting thoughts in your mind and concentrate all your energy on feeling something, you will be able to feel its essence.
Feeling the "breath of all things" is a wonderful state. Only in this state can you cut off everything you want to cut off.
"It turns out that understanding the breath of all things is a state, a state that can only be understood but cannot be expressed."
"You can only understand this state by yourself. If you understand it, the door of kendo will be open for you. If you don't understand it, it can only be said that you have no destiny with kendo."
Jiang Feng looked at the annotation on "The Breath of All Things" in the Essentials of Swordsmanship, nodded frequently, and murmured: "As expected."
This book on the essence of swordsmanship has been in the navy for some years and has been read countless times by elites from various eras. The essence of swordsmanship also contains the insights of these people.
The essence of swordsmanship is extremely detailed, and basically everyone can understand it. However, understanding and practicing are two different things, and understanding may not necessarily be possible.
Even though ordinary swordsmen have learned swordsmanship since childhood and their understanding of swords is better than that of ordinary people, they may not be able to understand "the breath of all things".
Persistence and hard work are important, but the most important thing in practicing swordsmanship is talent. A swordsman with outstanding talent can understand it without even knowing what "the breath of all things" is.
Swordsmen with average talent often have to practice swordsmanship continuously for several years and suppress the distracting thoughts in their hearts before they can finally realize the "breathing of all things".
This door has blocked many young people who aspire to become swordsmen.
"Are you free from distractions?"
Jiang Feng read the Essentials of Swordsmanship, closed his eyes, briefly reviewed the content of the Essentials of Swordsmanship, and then put the Essentials of Swordsmanship aside.
Under Zefa's torture, Jiang Feng's mental strength has already far exceeded that of ordinary strong people who have broken through the second level limit, so it is not difficult to concentrate on it.
"let's start"
Jiang Feng sat cross-legged in front of a big stone in the yard, closed his eyes and began to adjust his breathing and emotions to make all the distracting thoughts in his heart disappear.
Jiang Feng also encountered difficulties at the beginning and wanted to calm down, but there were always some distracting thoughts in his mind, which continued to interfere with Jiang Feng.
But Jiang Feng forced his concentration and eliminated the distracting thoughts that kept appearing one by one. Gradually, at some point, Jiang Feng's mind became ethereal.
Suddenly Jiang Feng opened his eyes, his eyes were as clear as water, and there was no emotion at all in Jiang Feng's eyes.
Everything in the world seemed to be still, there was no sound around, and the only thing Jiang Feng could hear was the most fundamental rhythm of everything.
This is a very strange state. His attention is completely focused on one point, without thinking about anything. "Is this the state of having no distracting thoughts?"
In this strange state, Jiang Feng felt that his brain was clearer than ever before, and some of the problems that he had been unable to figure out before were now solved.
At this time, Jiang Feng looked at the big stone in front of him. The big stone was no longer a dead object. Jiang Feng felt a mysterious fluctuation from the big stone.
At this time, Jiang Feng suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart, as if there was a voice in the dark telling Jiang Feng that as long as he cut off this mysterious wave, he could cut off the big stone, and the feeling became stronger and stronger, "
Black Feather Sword".
A black long sword appeared in Jiang Feng's hand. Jiang Feng swung a slash easily and naturally towards the big stone, locking the mysterious fluctuations with his mental power.
"Qiang"
After a crisp sound, the big stone more than two meters high was neatly cut in half by Jiang Feng.
Just now, Jiang Feng only used 20% of his strength. In the past, the 20% of his strength could only smash a large rock into pieces, but now, it can be directly cut off neatly.
The fracture of the big stone is extremely smooth, as if it had been polished just now, smooth and smooth.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Feng understood why the great swordsman's slashes could easily cut through mountains and even split open a small island.
Not because of how powerful they are, but because they can see the essence of things more clearly.
If a swordsman could see through the essence of all things and understand the rhythm of all things, there would be nothing in the world that he could not cut through.
When an ordinary swordsman cuts off a stone, he uses the sharpness of his sword to split the stone, but when a swordsman cuts off a stone, he breaks the mysterious connection between the elements that make up the stone.
