Chapter 37 Sword practice under the moon

Shangguan Jiannan stared intently, his heart extremely excited, and he involuntarily took a few steps forward to observe more closely.

As the distance shortened, the woman's swordsmanship became more and more visible. Her swordsmanship was fierce, and every movement was accompanied by a sharp explosion and surging airflow, which was breathtaking.

Shangguan Jiannan was concentrating, afraid of missing any details. The woman seemed to have noticed it, but she was not distracted by it. The long sword in her hand was still dancing freely, as if it had merged into the night.

Finally, the woman drew her sword and paused suddenly. In an instant, the surrounding space seemed to be shaken by this force. Then, she slowly put away her sword and stood up. The sword hummed in her hand, showing her extraordinary strength. Shangguan Jiannan saw this and his face was full of excitement.

This sword technique was more fierce and powerful than what I had seen before, especially the last move, which contained immeasurable power. However, the woman seemed to be at ease, as if she didn't exert much effort.

Shangguan Jiannan stared at this scene closely, his heart filled with shock and admiration. He knew very well that such swordsmanship could not be mastered overnight, and there must be countless times of sweat and hard work behind it.

This mysterious woman in black was undoubtedly a perfect role model for him on his path of cultivation. That scene was deeply imprinted in his mind, as if it were replaying yesterday. That day, after the woman practiced a set of sword techniques ten times, she suddenly stopped, and her figure quickly disappeared from his sight.

Shangguan Jiannan took a deep breath, his face filled with excitement that he could not conceal. This time he saw it in more detail than when he first saw it at night. He hurried back to the sect, quickly dealt with the affairs at hand, and then threw himself into cultivation without distraction.

...Time flies, and half a month has passed in a blink of an eye. Shangguan Jiannan goes to the thatched cottage on the mountain top every day without stopping, and the woman also comes as scheduled every day, with the sword flashing.

After half a month of observation, Shangguan Jiannan increasingly appreciated the exquisiteness of her swordsmanship. Even the simplest moves could unleash amazing power in her hands, which made him even more excited.

One night, the stars twinkled and the night was dark. Shangguan Jiannan got up early again and went there as usual. Before he arrived, he could hear the sound of swords and the sound of air bursting. He stepped into the empty space impatiently and saw a figure standing there. His swordsmanship was even more perfect than half a month ago.

Shangguan Jiannan held his breath and stared until the woman finished her sword skills as smoothly as flowing water. With a slight breath, the surging energy in his body calmed down.

"Senior sister." Shangguan Jiannan called softly from dozens of feet away, his eyes fixed on her with fervent expectation. "Can you teach me the true sword technique?" He added eagerly. This was the third time he had mustered up the courage to ask for it. The first two times he was ignored by her, and he couldn't help feeling a little frustrated and helpless.

"Today, I'm afraid it's in vain again." He sighed secretly, unable to hide his disappointment. Just as Shangguan Jiannan was about to accept another rejection, a crisp sound like a spring breeze blew across his face, penetrating his heart and cheering him up.

"Do you really mean this?" The woman's voice unexpectedly sounded when he had almost given up, with a barely perceptible seriousness.

An inexplicable shock surged into his heart, which lifted his spirits. He looked in the direction of the voice, only to see that the woman did not leave, but cast her eyes towards him.

Shangguan Jiannan's face suddenly lit up with joy, and he nodded in agreement. "Yes, of course."

He responded eagerly, "Senior sister's swordsmanship is extraordinary. Over the past half month, I have already developed a feeling of admiration for her."

"Are you a new disciple of the Tianjian Sect?" The woman asked calmly, without showing too much emotion. Shangguan Jiannan was slightly stunned, and then replied: "Yes, I joined the sect half a month ago."

He continued, "The first time I met you, Senior Sister, I was deeply shocked by your swordsmanship. Since then, I have been eager to learn a thing or two from you."

"However, despite my day and night study, I still cannot reach my senior sister's level." At this point, Shangguan Jiannan's voice couldn't help but lower a little, "In the past half month, I watched my senior sister practice sword every morning, and practiced hard during the day, but the effect was minimal. Even the most basic sword moves were difficult for me to master."

The woman just nodded slightly when she heard this, and she didn't seem surprised. "It's really hard to be assigned to do chores like cleaning the square. But you can stick to watching me practice swords for half a month, which shows that you have some perseverance."

She said calmly, "What's your name?" Shangguan Jiannan was delighted and quickly introduced himself, "Senior Sister, my name is Shangguan Jiannan, and I just joined the sect half a month ago.

May I know your name, Senior Sister?" The woman repeated the name several times in her mind, and then slowly said, "Chu Qingxuan."

Shangguan Jiannan was stunned when he heard the name. Chu Qingxuan was famous in the Tianjian Sect and was the most outstanding female disciple. Even a new disciple like him had heard of her.

It took her only half a year to break through the sword master realm and be promoted to an inner disciple. Now her strength has reached the late stage of the great sword master. Even some powerful inner disciples are no match for her.

At this moment, Shangguan Jiannan's face turned red with excitement. He never expected that the one who had been practicing sword silently for this period of time was actually Senior Sister Chu Qingxuan.

"Since you are willing to learn, then watch it."

Chu Qingxuan ignored Shangguan Jiannan's surprise and excitement, picked up the sword, and prepared to show her superb swordsmanship again.

The power gathered in his wrist, and the long sword suddenly stabbed out. With a slight explosion of "bang", the air seemed to be torn apart, and a look of joy appeared on Shangguan Jiannan's face.

He then took a few steps back, his eyes locked, watching intently. Chu Qingxuan deliberately slowed down the sword's momentum, and each move seemed slow, but contained amazing power.

The tip of the sword trembled slightly, and circles of strong wind like ripples spread from the sword body, and the surrounding space began to fluctuate subtly.

Although the movement slowed down and the power weakened, the continuous crisp explosions still echoed around.

Finally, with a deafening roar, he poured all his strength into the sword. His clothes fluttered and the sword thrust out suddenly. A sharp sword energy gushed out, leaving a shallow mark on the blue stone ground ten feet away.

"This..." Shangguan Jiannan was shocked when he saw this scene. You know, the ground was paved with extremely hard Qingxuan stone, and Chu Qingxuan could leave a mark with the power of a sword, which was rare.

Chu Qingxuan put away her sword and stood up, with a faint blush on her face, and said softly: "That's all for today, you need to experience it carefully."

After saying that, her figure gradually disappeared from sight. Shangguan Jiannan stood there for a long time, replaying Chu Qingxuan's swordsmanship in his mind, trying to grasp the essence of it.

...In the Tianjian Sect, in a quiet forest, Shangguan Jiannan held a long sword in his hand, making a buzzing sound as he swung it, but his heart was full of doubts and denials. That sword technique was very different from what he had learned, and the power was even more different.

He was deeply confused. Why was it so difficult for him to perform such a simple sword move? "How can I reach the level of Senior Sister Chu Qingxuan?" Shangguan Jiannan pondered secretly. Although he had practiced hard for a long time, he seemed unable to break through the bottleneck.

He sighed softly, perhaps it was really because his cultivation was still shallow and his realm was not enough. So, he calmed down again and devoted himself to endless cultivation. When Shangguan Jiannan returned to his courtyard, sweating all over, it was already late.

Although there was no obvious progress in his swordsmanship, he knew very well that he had changed a lot compared to half a month ago.

This persistence and hard work are the cornerstones of his path to becoming a strong man. Shangguan Jiannan's martial arts and strength have achieved a significant leap and enhancement.
