Chapter 125 Sudden Praise
In the following time, Yuan Feng spent all his time practicing sword skills except for resting and eating, and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
He didn't have much talent for swordplay and wasn't very fast at it. Of course, this was also related to the fact that he had no foundation at all.
He has no talent, but he makes up for it through hard work.
After practicing for six days, he finally mastered every move of the Canyang Sword Technique to standard.
Although it is still some distance away from actual combat, Yuan Feng is already very satisfied.
However, he could not be compared with others. It only took Mu Yuntian three days to master the Canyang Sword Technique. He finished defeating the sword puppet early and went to rest.
He was bored a few days ago and came to see Yuan Feng several times.
Of course, Yuan Feng didn’t come to guide him, but to show off and mock him.
Yuan Feng ignored him. After Mu Yuntian tried a few times without getting a response, he felt bored and stopped coming.
Yuan Feng swung the sword straight out and repeated the operation again.
After the movements are standard, the next step is to hone each move and form.
Tao Yunwan had previously advised him that his talent in swordsmanship was not as good as others, with just one sentence: repeat, repeat, and repeat again.
With practice, one can also achieve success in kendo.
Yuan Feng deeply agrees with this and puts it into practice.
"9998!"
"9999!"
"!"
After performing the first move of the day ten thousand times, Yuan Feng was about to switch to the second move when Tao Yunwan came over.
From the direction of the Kendo Puppet.
Yuan Feng knew that she was going to challenge the Kendo Puppet today.
Judging from her high-spirited look, she was obviously successful.
"Successful?" Although he guessed it, Yuan Feng still asked politely.
"Guess." After spending a long time together, Tao Yunwan also revealed her youthful side, without the coldness that she gave in the first impression.
"I guess Mr. Tao must have succeeded." Ever since receiving guidance from Tao Yunwan in swordsmanship, Yuan Feng changed the way he addressed her from "Fairy Tao" to "Mr. Tao."
The word "Xiang" means [the one who is accomplished comes first, the teacher].
Yuan Feng called him that out of pure respect.
Tao Yunwan glared at Yuan Feng and complained, "I told you not to call me sir. This word is too heavy and I can't bear it."
Yuan Feng wiped the sweat off his face, smiled and said nothing.
Tao Yunwan's eyes softened: "To be honest, you are very sincere and polite to others. If you and I were not rivals in this secret realm, maybe we could become close friends."
"Oh?" Yuan Feng said with a smile, "That's not necessarily true. He is just an independent cultivator outside, and his status cannot be compared with Mr. Tao."
Tao Yunwan was slightly stunned, her face darkened: "Do you think I will look down on you because of the difference in status?"
"That's not the truth. I just think that a secular identity makes it easy for people to be unable to lower themselves, isn't it?"
"..."
Tao Yunwan stared at Yuan Feng's face seriously, trying to figure out the meaning of his words from his expression.
But all he saw was a calm expression, neither happy nor sad. Yuan Feng's expression showed that he was simply stating a fact.
After a long time.
Tao Yunwan said slowly: "Yes..."
There was emotion in his tone.
Outside, she is her master's direct disciple and a genius in the sect, and she never lowers herself easily.
"You're quite smart."
The sudden compliment left Yuan Feng at a loss as to how to respond.
"With your intelligence, you shouldn't be a casual cultivator."
"Ah?" Yuan Feng was stunned. "In your opinion, are all casual cultivators fools?"
"He's not a fool, but at least he's not smart. Smart people can't be casual cultivators. Aside from those who practice Taoism, casual cultivators are just vagabonds among the cultivators."
Hearing this, Yuan Feng was stunned. No wonder he was met with so many cold stares when he revealed his identity as a casual cultivator.
It turns out that in the eyes of cultivators, casual cultivators have this status. It's because he is too ignorant.
"Maybe I'm not smart, I'm just pretending to be smart." Yuan Feng joked to himself.
"No." Tao Yunwan shook her head seriously. "You are not pretending. On the contrary, you are hiding. I can see that you have a sharp insight. Only smart people can be so sharp."
"You're too kind." Yuan Feng touched his head. His old face felt a little hot from being praised by a girl whose soul was much younger than his.
He doesn't think he is very smart. He just sees more than others. It's just that his soul is more mature.
"I'm not exaggerating. I want to hear your thoughts. What do you think Lu Yangxianweng's inheritance is?"
This question is difficult to answer. After all, the secret realm of Lu Yangxianweng’s inheritance has been discovered for thousands of years, and no one has ever truly seen the true face of the inheritance.
This was also Yuan Feng’s first time entering the secret realm, so he could only guess what was going on.
"I don't know, not yet." Yuan Feng could guess, but without clear evidence, he couldn't say anything casually.
If he said something wrong, it would mislead others. He had no reason to mislead Tao Yunwan.
Even if they are each other's ultimate rivals, it is not yet time to frame each other with false information.
"Don't you know, or don't want to say?" Tao Yunwan opened her eyes wide, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
“It’s uncertain.”
"Then can you tell me when you are sure?"
"It's nothing. If I knew, I would definitely tell Mr. Tao. However, we are very close to the inheritance now. Maybe Mr. Tao is the first person who knows what the inheritance is. I don't need to get involved."
Tao Yunwan smiled, a bright smile: "Thank you for your good words, I won't disturb you from practicing sword."
After saying that, she left, and Yuan Feng continued his sword practice.
A month passed quietly.
Yuan Feng's life was boring, as he was always swinging his sword, but it was also fulfilling.
The time has come, it's time to test the results.
Even if there are no results, it's time to get started.
There were many people who chose to challenge on the last day with him, and Fu Shi was among them.
However, Yuan Feng could see that Nu Shi’s talent in swordsmanship was much better than his, and the reason he had never played was that Nu Shi lacked confidence.
Nu Shi put all his confidence into his swordsmanship. If this level of test was about swordsmanship, he probably wouldn't dare to go on the field in less than a day.
After greeting each other, Yuan Feng and Nu Shi went to find their own sword puppet opponents.
As soon as Yuan Feng got into position, the sword puppet came out with an iron sword.
There is a little rust on the surface of the iron sword. It looks like an ordinary iron sword. After years of use, it should not be strong enough.
But no matter how fragile it was, it was still not something that could be damaged by the wooden sword in Yuan Feng's hand.
The rules stipulate that one must use a wooden sword to challenge the kendo puppet, so Yuan Feng naturally follows the rules.
The kendo puppet is not very tall. If compared, it can only reach Yuan Feng’s chest at most.
But this is the tricky part. The puppet is not tall, so it is naturally difficult to hit.
If you want to defeat the Kendo Puppet, you must hit the Kendo Puppet's chest or neck with a wooden sword. Of these two, the chest is the best choice.
The kendo puppet is not only short, but also has a short neck, so it is not easy to hit it.
Yuan Feng held the wooden sword, and the familiar feel gave him confidence.
After a month of hard training, he has made some progress in swordsmanship, and now is the time to test it.
With a "click" sound, the kendo puppet moved.
Yuan Feng took action before the sound could be heard.
A sword fight often only takes a moment, and what matters is whose sword is faster or whose sword swing is sharper.
On the first point, Yuan Feng won.
