âThen this junior will not decline. I ask senior to guide me.â
Su Hao cupped his hands slightly and was about to bow as a junior when he was stopped by Leng Xianxue.
âYou donât have to do this. Also, donât always call me senior. Youâre making me sound old. Iâm only 30 years old this year. Just call me Sister Qianxue.â
Leng Xianxue pouted unhappily. With her delicate appearance paired with her devastatingly charming appearance, Su Hao instantly felt his mouth go dry.
âThatâs right, thatâs right. Just call her sister!â
Xiaoyuan clapped his hands and echoed, his big, watery eyes filled with anticipation. Ever since the two of them had started talking, Xiaoyuan had obediently walked to Leng Xianxueâs side and watched quietly.
âThen Iâll have to trouble you, Sister Xianxue.â
Su Hao suppressed the desire in his heart and slightly bent his body. He placed his right hand on the hilt of his saber and started to draw his saber as usual.
âWait.â
Just as Su Haoâs blade was about to be pulled out, Leng Xianxue stopped him.
âThis is for you.â
Under Su Haoâs doubtful gaze, Leng Xianxue took out a magical artifact from her space ring and tossed it to him.
Su Hao received the magical artifact and held it in his hand to carefully examine it. He discovered that it was a Tang blade artifact of the same style as the blade in his hand.
âThis⦠Sister Qianxue, this is too expensive. I canât accept it.â
Su Hao handed the Tang Dao back to Leng Xianxue.
Unexpectedly, Leng Xianxue waved her hand and said unhappily, âIâm giving it to you, so just take it. Are you looking down on the things that your elder sister gave you?â
âThis isâ¦â
Su Hao was at a loss, but seeing Leng Xianxueâs cold expression, he could only say in embarrassment, âThank you, Sister Xianxue.â
âThatâs right. If you call me big sister, how can I make your younger brother suffer? Besides, itâs just a Dharmic Artifact. I have plenty of these things. Donât mind.â
Seeing that Su Hao had accepted it, Leng Xianxue returned to her smiling face.
âYes. Yes. Yes.â
Su Hao smiled. At this moment, he had somewhat figured out Leng Xianxueâs character. She was extremely easy-going and didnât have the airs of other mighty figures. When interacting with her, people would feel very comfortable. Sometimes, they would even subconsciously forget that she was a cultivator with a profound cultivation.
âEnough of your superfluous words. Quickly, cover your blade with your bladeâs power. I want to see how powerful your full strength is.â
Leng Xianxue waved her hand to signal him to hurry up, while Leng Xianyuan, who was standing by the side, jumped up and down, clapping with her small hands. âYay! Letâs watch Brother Suâs performance ~â
Su Hao wasnât long-winded. After tying the Enchanted Tangdao to his waist, he slightly bent his body and placed his right hand on the hilt of the saber. An indomitable aura that looked at death with equanimity spread out, and with Su Hao at the center, a gentle breeze blew. This made Leng Xianxue nod her head. Once this saber aura was unleashed, it would barely have the power of an early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator. It was a pity that Su Hao didnât have any cultivation; otherwise, its power would increase by several times.
Finally, Su Hao moved. In the next instant, a dazzling blade light flashed past. Not far away, a towering tree was cut in half at the waist. With a boom, the tree fell onto the ground, splashing dust everywhere.
âHo⦠hoâ¦â
Su Hao panted slightly. He had used almost all of his strength to swing that saber just now. He didnât know if Sister Xianxue was satisfied or not. Thinking of this, he looked at Leng Xianxue.
âMm, not bad. For you to be able to comprehend the saber potential without any cultivation and slash out such a strike, it is enough to show that your talent is unparalleled. Unfortunately, your move only focuses all of your strength into a single slash. This kind of move is too ordinary. If it was a life and death battle, it would be very useful. However, if you can only slash out such a strike during a battle, then after you slash out, it will be the time of your death. If this kind of move thatâs close to everything fails, you will fall into a weak state and be at the mercy of others. Thus, you need to learn some other saber techniques. This move can only be used at the most crucial moment.â
Leng Xianxueâs comment hit the nail on the head. On the other side, Su Hao was also listening attentively.
âIn short, your fighting style is too monotonous. Let me teach you some techniques.â
After he finished speaking, the Tangdao in Su Haoâs hand floated into Leng Xianxueâs hand, and she immediately assumed her stance.
At this moment, Su Hao and Lengxian had a tacit understanding of each other. Their gazes were all on Leng Xianxue.
Leng Xianxue moved, and so did the knife!
At this moment, the slender Tang Dao in Leng Xianxueâs hands was like a living creature. The basic movements such as slashing, slashing, blocking, and so on were all executed perfectly. In fact, Su Hao even had the illusion that Leng Xianxue had already become a saber.
This was not the end. Leng Xianxueâs aura suddenly changed, and the blade in her hand emitted a bright white light. Following that, every move and move of Leng Xianxue carried with it momentum!
A moment later, Leng Xianxue stopped and sheathed her saber. She turned her gaze towards Su Hao and noticed that his eyes had lost focus. She understood that he had already comprehended something.
Seeing this, Leng Xianxue nodded her head in satisfaction. What she demonstrated just now was only some basic saber techniques from ancient times. This was what Su Hao lacked. As for more profound techniques, they were spiritual techniques. To the current Su Hao, they were useless. He would need to be at least at the Foundation Establishment realm to use them.
Moreover, in a battle, if the sword techniques were more powerful, he would definitely be able to win. Among those of the same strength, battle techniques were extremely important. Therefore, Leng Xianxue only taught Su Hao the ordinary saber techniques that he lacked. Once Su Hao completely comprehended those ordinary saber techniques, then his battle style would no longer be limited to merely drawing his saber. In the future, every swing of his saber would be able to bring about the saber aura. In the future, as his cultivation deepened and his comprehension of saber techniques deepened, he might be able to create a saber technique that belonged solely to him.
Finally, after more than ten minutes, Su Hao opened his eyes. From his eyes, one could see a trace of understanding.
âHow is it?â
Leng Xianxue asked.
âThank you, Sister Xianxue. In the past, other than Sword Draw, my fighting style was still Sword Draw. After you demonstrated some basic saber techniques for me, my fighting style became even more flexible.â
Su Hao said gratefully to Leng Xianxue.
Because this was something that he really lacked. All along, he only knew simple moves like Saber Draw. Now that he had learned these basic saber techniques, he could use Saber Draw in the future.
âHmm, very good. Although youâve completed the technique of the saber technique, you still lack actual combat experience. After all, no matter how good a technique is, if it canât be used in actual combat, then thereâs no need to talk about it. Therefore, you have to train more in this aspect.â
Leng Xianxue reminded Su Hao once again.
âAlright. During this period of time, Iâve been practicing in the Demonic Beasts Forest. Iâve killed quite a number of Demonic Beasts and even experienced life-and-death situations. However, I can still feel that my combat skills are improving slowly.â
Hearing this, Leng Xianxue broke into a smile and said, âYouâre too anxious. Youâve only been fighting for a few days. The improvement in your combat skills can only be improved after experiencing many battles. These things require gradual progress in a cycle. If youâre anxious, you wonât be able to eat hot tofu.â
âHot tofu? Sister, are we having tofu tonight?â
Leng Xianyuan, who was quietly listening to their conversation, immediately interrupted when she heard about the food. Previously, she did not speak because she did not understand a single word, but now she understood! There was tofu to eat!
âPfft! You little glutton.â
The two people who were originally discussing cultivation were instantly amused by Leng Xianyuan. Leng Xianxue couldnât help but scratch her little nose dotingly.
