Chapter 100: Splitting the Mountain

  I originally thought Gao Xiaowei was learning kung fu just to try something new, but it seems she's planning to stay here for a while. After dinner, Gao Xiaowei took a room card from my counter and flashed it at me: "Long Yangyang, I'm going to sleep."

  I asked in surprise: "Aren't you going back?"

  "Of course I'm not going back, tomorrow I still have to learn kung fu with Su Jie."

  I scratched my head and said, "This is indeed the sun rising in the west."

  Su Jingdao said: "Since you want to study seriously, you must lay a good foundation. Tomorrow morning at 5 o'clock get up and go for a run."

  Gao Xiaowei said seriously: "Okay."

  "I sneered: 'She'd have to get up for that to happen - Little Qian, I'm not talking about you.'"

  Su Jingdao said: "It's late, let's go to sleep too."

  Gao Xiaowei, who had just rushed to the stairs, unexpectedly asked: "Are you guys already living together?"

  "I said deliberately: 'What's so strange about this?'"

  "Then should I call Su sister 'sister-in-law' from now on?"

  Su Jing's face turned stern and she said, "Don't talk nonsense."

  Gao Xiaowei was fearless of heaven and earth, but feared Su Jing. In a hurry, she stuck out her tongue and ran upstairs.

  Back in the room, Su Jing frowned and said: "Can you be serious tomorrow? With this attitude, how can you return to the Women's Country?"

  I said with a sense of grievance: "I didn't slack off at all."

  "But I hope you have a natural talent for sword fighting, and that the skills you've learned from me will be useful to you. At least when we return to our country, you should show your face in public once, shouldn't you?"

  "You still want to use me as a vase."

  Su Jing smiled and asked me: "How's your sword aura today?"

  "I was just about to ask you that," I said hurriedly. "I've got all the software and hardware in place, so why is my sword energy nowhere to be found?"

  Su Jingdao said, "You still don't understand how to control them. They are running wild in your body. When you can gather them all into the dantian, that's a big success. You've already mastered the basic method of qigong. Next, what you need to do is use the qi in your dantian to communicate with them, so that they can be fully integrated."

  I followed the words and released a bit of energy from my dantian, letting it slowly flow through my body, but that legendary sword energy was nowhere to be seen. I muttered in confusion: "No one is paying attention to me."

  "Probably still need to slowly grind together, after all, they just returned to your body, it's a process."

  "It's just like a son who has run away from home and just returned can't possibly hug my thigh and call me dad?"

  Su Jing: "......"

  No need to think, Chapter 100 uses a pumpkin lantern.

  Su Jingdao said: "I just said that if the enemy is at the same level as you, doing so will waste extra energy and not moving in a straight line will greatly hinder your speed."

  I let out a dejected sigh and said: "Forget about it for now, let's learn those other three things first."

  "Other three principles are the same, take thrusting as an example, it requires a higher demand for straight line, slashing and chopping can be considered as variations of slicing, so if you don't learn slicing well first, there's no point in talking about others."

  I lazily drew a few lines and said, "Practicing for 5 years just to practice a straight line, is it necessary? Lianhuachong practiced the Dugu Nine Swords for only a few nights, but I've never heard of him using a ruler to draw a straight line."

  Su Jingdao said, "If your requirement for yourself is just to be able to win against a swordsman, then you don't need to do this. But you are the Sword God, and in the future, you will encounter even more powerful enemies. Only by being meticulous can you remain undefeated. Others say I became the Sword God because of my natural talent, but they didn't see me when I was bitterly practicing."

  I stroked my chin and said, "I think you're not born to be a sword god, but rather have a talent for geometry." Think about it, first she draws dots on people, then compares them to straight lines. You could say that her interactions with people are like a geometric exercise, as long as you apply the right formula. I don't have such patience, back in the day if I wasn't good at math, what's the point of buying both an abacus and a calculator?

  I begged Su Jingdao: "Now you can assume that I have already practiced my basic stance well, start teaching me sword moves."

  Su Jing sighed and said: "It's the only way now, I'll teach you a few self-defense moves first, and in times of crisis, just try to cope with it."

  "I'm glad it's finally like this."

  Next, Su Jing started teaching me how to hold a sword and began to teach me some basic moves. It was actually just some action essentials, just like teaching an infant how to hold chopsticks or teaching a calligraphy enthusiast how to hold a brush. It was still dry and tasteless. As the saying goes, "all things are difficult at the beginning", but I didn't think it would be this difficult. Compared to the disappointing reality, I still prefer those scenes where masters pass on their skills - both the master and apprentice are mysterious and unclear about what they're doing, and then suddenly, the master is dying, and with one hand on the back of the apprentice for 20-30 minutes, it's all over. Moreover, Su Jing and I are both at the Sword God level, so it shouldn't be this boring, right? What if Ouyang Feng forgot his memories, would Hong Qigong teach him martial arts starting from the Nine Yin Scripture? Wouldn't teaching him the Taizu Long Fist for 5 years be a bit of a joke?

  In just over an hour, Su Jing taught me some basic spear moves. I wiped the sweat and said, "How's that? Am I picking this up quickly?"

  Su Jingdao said: "I haven't taught any other apprentices, but whether it's with me or with Xiaowei, your comprehension doesn't seem to be very good..."

  I waved my hand: "Stop it, if you mention insight again, I'll turn against you."

  "Alright, let's move on to the practical phase. I'll find someone for you to practice with."

  "Who is it?"

  Su Jing did not turn his head and said: "Duan Tianya, come out for me!"

  Duan Tianya emerged from behind a tree with a sulky expression, and chuckled: "You've discovered me again. I didn't intentionally sneak a peek. This place was mine first."

  Su Jing directly threw him a shoelace: "Same as yesterday, don't use sword energy, exchange a few moves with Little Dragon."

  Duan Tianya caught up with me, a smile on his face: "I'm still the 100th chapter of Sword God's move, just like this, in a daze and confusion, we messed up the hotel room and floor, I gradually felt weak, the sword energy in my body inexplicably weakened, at some point, my hands and feet went soft, and with a thud, I sat on the ground.

  Su Jing did a spin in mid-air, landing lightly, but her eyes sparkled with surprise. I felt a bit dizzy and took half a day to recover, but this time there was no pain after exerting myself like last time. Su Jing pulled me up and asked, "Are you okay?"

  Before I could respond, Duan Tianya cautiously said: "He's fine, but we're in trouble!"

  I turned around to see him poking out half of his head from behind the tree, at the hotel entrance, Old Wu, Hei Shan Lao Yao and Jin Chengwu had all rushed out and were standing there, their faces changing colors as they stared at us in shock.

  Su Jing smiled and said, "I've startled everyone."

  Duan Tianya said: "It's not that we're scared, we're risking our lives here." He glared at me and said: "I was just teasing you a few sentences, did I deserve to have the mountain split open?"

  I blushed and said: "Irresistible feelings, irresistible feelings."

  Duan Tianya said: "Anyway, I won't fight with you again in the future!"

  "What about our duel?"

  Duan Tianya said: "A duel is a duel, aren't you still unable to recover all your strength now?"

  I exclaimed: "Do you still think of yourself as one of my dishes at that time?"

  Duan Tianya said seriously: "Two different things, dying as an enemy under your sword and being used as a sacrifice without knowing the reason are two different concepts."

  Old Wu came back to his senses and said: "I didn't expect Little Dragon to be so formidable. At first, I thought it was a bad Daoist who had arrived."

  "Hei Shan Lao Yao also patted his chest and laughed: 'Fortunately I came down the mountain early, or else I would have been chopped.'"

  I looked at the trimmed Mount Kui and worried: "What can I do, when the government asks me, I couldn't say that I moved a piece of it because it was blocking the way, could I? My descendants are still far away."

  "Nothing's wrong, you don't have to worry about anything, the experts will help you come up with an excuse."

  "I said: 'Can ordinary people believe it?'"

  Jin Cheng Wudao: "Experts will make them believe, if all else fails, they'll say it's related to the price increase of the Development and Reform Commission, and they'll believe it!"
