"Glittering Wukui!"
Suddenly, Xiao Chen opened his eyes and waved his right hand. The snow-white Lunar Shadow Saber flashed with a dazzling light in the dark night.
Xiao Chen executed the first move of the Wukui Saber Technique.
A purple branch of the ancient divine Wukui Tree appeared from nowhere. It turned into saber Qi and headed for a small tree in the courtyard. It was as fast as lightning.
The five-meter-tall tree was immediately chopped into pieces, which danced in the air in the small courtyard.
"Wukui Transforms to Qi!"
Xiao Chen executed the second move of the Wukui Saber Technique. Instantly, the entire figure of the divine Wukui Tree appeared. It turned into dozens of sharp purple saber Qi and turned the tree fragments in the air into dust.
"Qi Breaks Wukui!"
Xiao Chen shouted and executed the third move of the Wukui Saber Technique. Instantly, the purple saber Qi in the air gathered together and formed an extremely sharp saber Qi.
Under Xiao Chen's command, the sharp saber Qi entered the ground with a 'shua' sound. A hole as thick as an index finger immediately appeared in the ground.
This strand of saber Qi was incredibly dense. There were no cracks on the sides of the hole; it was smooth and glossy. It was not inferior to the saber Qi of a regular peak Superior Grade Martial Saint.
"Ka ca!"
Xiao Chen withdrew his saber and stood upright. When he saw the scene in the courtyard, he revealed a faint smile. The foundational moves of the Wukui Saber Technique were much stronger than the first ten moves of the Lingyun Saber Technique.
Of course, this did not mean that the Lingyun Saber Technique was inferior to the Wukui Saber Technique. The Lingyun Saber Technique was also a peak Earth Ranked Saber Technique. If there was a person who could perfectly merge the state of mountains and clouds, it would be comparable to the Wukui Saber Technique.
It could only be said that the Wukui Saber Technique was more suitable for Xiao Chen. In his hands, it was much stronger than the Lingyun Saber Technique.
Because he was in the Yun Clan, he did not dare to cause too much of a commotion. When Xiao Chen demonstrated these three moves, he did not use the state of thunder. He only used ten percent of his Essence.
It was easy to imagine how powerful these three moves would be if they were infused with the Small Perfection state of thunder and unleashed all of their Essence.
Xiao Chen once again comprehended the concepts of these three moves. After a while, he continued to practice these three moves. If he did not practice these three moves to the Great Accomplishment stage, Xiao Chen did not intend to practice the remaining six moves.
The foundation was the foundation, and it had to be firmly laid!
At midnight, Xiao Chen stopped practicing his saber and entered his bedroom. He took out a Medial Grade Spirit Stone from his Universe Ring and prepared to use it to cultivate.
Xiao Chen sat cross-legged on the bed and held the Spirit Stone in his right hand. He closed his eyes and slowly circulated the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation.
Boom!
The Purple Thunder Divine Incantation did not give Xiao Chen much time to prepare. The instant he circulated the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation, the vast Essence in the Medial Grade Spirit Stone surged into his meridians like a river.
The terrifying Yuan Qi immediately filled up Xiao Chen's meridians and rampaged through them. Like a wild horse. Xiao Chen frowned; he felt some pain.
He calmed himself down and did his best to control this surging Spiritual Energy. After a long time, after much effort, Xiao Chen finally managed to tame this wild horse, slowly making it docile.
After a while, he successfully circulated the Spirit Stone in a minor cycle and poured it into the purple Qi whirlpool.
"Di da!
Di da! "The purple Qi whirlpool spun rapidly. Drops of crystalline Essence liquid fell quickly and immediately replenished a quarter of Xiao Chen's Essence.
Xiao Chen guarded his mind and continued to circulate the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation. The Spiritual Energy in the Medial Grade Spirit Stone flowed in continuously. He circulated it for five major cycles before he completely absorbed all the Spiritual Energy.
The purple Qi whirlpool was larger than before. Its color was also deeper.
The Purple Thunder Divine Incantation circulated another cycle. Xiao Chen finally had complete control over the Spirit Stone in the Medial Grade Spirit Stone.
After he stopped cultivating, Xiao Chen opened his eyes and tossed away the Medial Grade Spirit Stone that had lost its luster. He said indifferently, "One Medial Grade Spirit Stone is equivalent to half a month of my bitter cultivation. No wonder Medial Grade Spirit Stones are so expensive."
During the days in the Yun Residence, Xiao Chen practiced his Saber Techniques during the day and used the Medial Grade Spirit Stone to raise his cultivation at night.
Yun Kexin would come by almost every day. Aside from chatting, she would also exchange pointers with Xiao Chen. This was exactly what Xiao Chen wished for. Coincidentally, he needed someone to exchange moves with the Wukui Saber Technique that he practiced.
After exchanging pointers, the two of them would comment on each other's Martial Techniques. What surprised Xiao Chen was that Yun Kexin's attainments in the Saber Technique were exceptionally deep.
Her unique understanding of the Wukui Saber Technique was very helpful to Xiao Chen. As the two of them discussed it together, Xiao Chen's progress in the Wukui Saber Technique was very fast.
In seven days, Xiao Chen practiced the first three moves to Great Perfection. Although there was still a long way to go before he reached Consummation, he could feel at ease practicing the remaining four to six killing moves.
Just like this, another half a month passed. Xiao Chen practiced the three killing moves to the peak of Small Perfection. Its might was much stronger than Xiao Chen had imagined.
If he combined it with the state of thunder, it would be comparable to the Lingyun Saber Technique's Everlasting Startling Cloud and Twisting Road Around Peak. As for the remaining three killing moves, their might would be incomparable.
After more than twenty days, Xiao Chen had exhausted a total of thirty Medial Grade Spirit Stones. The amount of Essence his body could store increased every day. In less than a month, Xiao Chen's cultivation had already stabilized at the peak of early Medial Grade Martial Saint.
On this particular day, Xiao Chen finished practicing the Wukui Saber Technique. He looked at the blazing sun above him and wiped the sweat off his forehead. He said indifferently, "It is time to leave. I hope that person has not left yet. Otherwise, all my efforts would have been wasted."
Outside the courtyard, Yun Kexin held a flask of wine and two wine cups in her hands. She slowly walked in and sat at the stone table. She filled up the wine cups and smiled faintly, "Here's to you!"
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and sat down. He picked up the wine cup and drained it in one go. He said, "Strange, how did you know I was leaving today?"
Yun Kexin filled up Xiao Chen's cup again and said, "I said it long ago, my judgment of people is very accurate. When I saw your expression yesterday, there was something wrong."
Xiao Chen drank another cup and said, "That's right, when are you preparing to return to the Heavenly Saber Pavilion?"
When Yun Kexin heard this, an undetectable desolation flashed in her calm eyes. She took a sip of wine and said, "I will probably not go there often in the future. I am now the successor of the Yun Clan. My focus will be on the Yun Clan."
Xiao Chen noticed the desolation in Yun Kexin's tone. He thought of something and asked, "That's right, there is something I have always wanted to ask you. Why is a girl like you so interested in Saber Techniques? Furthermore, your attainments in Saber Techniques are so deep."
Xiao Chen's question was rather abrupt. However, it was the truth. In the Tianwu Continent, when a girl practiced Martial Arts, their first choice of weapon was the sword.
This was easy to understand. The elegance and carefreeness of the sword suited a girl's temperament. That was why there were not as many female disciples in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion as there were in the Misty Sword Sect.
Furthermore, even if some girls learned the Saber, they would not spend too much time researching the deeper meaning of Saber Techniques. Very few girls were like Yun Kexin, completely immersing themselves in Saber Techniques.
Even Xiao Chen felt ashamed of his own inferiority to Yun Kexin's understanding of Saber Techniques. Thus, Xiao Chen found this question very strange.
When she heard this question, Yun Kexin revealed a youthful smile on her delicate face. She said, "My personality dictates it. I have liked the saber since I was young. Later on, I heard some stories about bladesmen. So, I decided to become one.
"After that, I arrived at the holy land of bladesmen. Unfortunately, the Heavenly Saber Pavilion is no longer the Heavenly Saber Pavilion of the past. I did not see a true bladesman."
A true bladesman? Xiao Chen felt it was strange. Could it be that there was a difference between a real and a fake bladesman?
Yun Kexin explained, "The bladesman I am talking about is the bladesman of the Ancient Era. In this world, the sword came before the saber. Do you know why?"
Without waiting for Xiao Chen to reply, Yun Kexin continued, "Because the sword is a ceremonial weapon. It represents benevolence, righteousness, and the air of a gentleman. Thus, it is the ancestor of all weapons. Only a person with great boldness can be called a swordsman. However, there are very few people in this world who are able to do that. Most of them are people who try to be cultured and use the name of a swordsman to act like a hypocrite. "
Later on, there were some people who knew that they could not be a true gentleman. However, they did not want to be hypocritical. Thus, they created the saber.
The saber was different from the sword. The saber was a true lethal weapon. It was a lethal weapon that existed to kill. It was not restricted by any rules and regulations. It was for the sake of being able to express one's true self.
After Xiao Chen heard Yun Kexin's introduction, he entered deep thought. He felt that he had found some answers to some of the questions that had troubled him for a long time.
He could not help but become more interested in this topic. He asked, "Since that is the case, if the saber is a lethal weapon, then the five thousand odd Heavenly Saber Pavilion disciples should all be bladesmen, right?"
Yun Kexin shook her head, "Wrong. Lethal weapon is just the surface meaning of the saber. It does not mean that you are a bladesman just because you use the saber to kill people. Instead, you have to have a boldness in your heart, not fearing power, not bowing and scraping.
"This is a sharpness that can be withdrawn. However, this boldness cannot disappear. Otherwise, you will not be able to express your true self. You will just be a murderous demon, even more abominable than those hypocrites."
Yun Kexin paused for a while and poured herself a cup of wine. She looked at Xiao Chen and smiled faintly, "Actually, I envy you. When I first saw you, I noticed that you were different from the other Heavenly Saber Pavilion disciples. In the end, I was right.
"Even until now, the boldness in your heart has not weakened at all. Instead, it has become sharper and more stable. One day, this boldness will turn into a treasured saber and become your saber soul. At that time, you will be a true bladesman."
Xiao Chen's expression turned serious; he felt like he had met someone who understood him. This was the first time he met someone who could understand him so well.
He placed the wine cup on the stone table and smiled gently, "In your opinion, how many people in the history of the Great Qin Nation can be considered a true bladesman?"
Yun Kexin muttered to herself for a while before smiling, "You speak too highly of me. What I said is only my understanding. As for whether it is right or wrong, I do not know. However, the ones that I truly admire are the first Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, the Thunder King from a thousand years ago, and the current commander of the Imperial Dragon Legion, Nangong Yan. "
The two of them chatted as they drank. In the end, the more they chatted, the more interested they became. They actually drank for the entire afternoon. The two of them were slightly tipsy.
