Wang Ruyue backed off two steps, her face flushed red and she was panting. She looked at Chen Shouyi, who seemed to be badly shaken with a pale countenance, but he wasn’t panting much.
She really wanted to curse but had no idea if she should voice it out.
Given his capabilities, why the hell was he still coming for a tuition class? Did he think that the Martial Apprentice Test was a Martial Practitioner Test?
If it wasn’t because she had witnessed his rapid growth with her own eyes, she would have thought that he was someone from the same line of business who came here to create trouble!
“Then shall I bring the real swords over?” she said with a cold expression.
When Chen Shouyi heard that, he was taken aback. “Miss Wang! That can cause deaths!”
Wang Ruyue threw a glance at him and let out a cold laugh. “What are you thinking about? I only have two wooden swords and one real sword. Now that the wooden swords are both spoiled, what can I use if not a real sword for teaching?”
Chen Shouyi let out a dry laugh, feeling that he had overreacted as well.
However, anyone would misunderstand when they saw the cold expression that she was wearing!
Chen Shouyi quickly brought over the alloy sword from the weapon rack, handing it to her.
The beautiful teacher didn’t say much and started the lesson right away. “You won’t benefit from being too greedy. The most important thing in sword practice is to increase your mastery. Your pierce strikes have become a decent ability in actual combat, with you being able to use them quite agilely for both defense and attack. I suggest that you continue to focus on practicing your pierce strikes.
“You should have heard this saying before. That across all the martial arts in the world, speed is the only power that is invincible!
“Pierce strike is the fastest sword stance and one of the main factions in sword techniques. I’ll be teaching you the remaining types of pierce strikes: Knee-Raised Pierce, Turning Lower Pierce, and Sword-Hanging Pierce!
“As for the remaining sword stances, you just need to know them roughly. I’ll teach them to you in the next two lessons.”
…
Although the beautiful teacher put up a front that seemed to want others to not get close to her, she was quite serious when she started teaching. She was also patient and detailed.
…
10 p.m.
By that time, Chen Shouyi had returned to the motel from the beautiful teacher’s place, and he saw that the express delivery he had ordered yesterday had arrived.
He collected the parcels from the reception and then headed back to his room.
However, he didn’t open up the parcels immediately. Instead, he opened up his briefcase and let the shell girl out.
When he had removed the tape on the shell girl’s mouth, she was so angry and shouted very loudly.
She had been lying in the pitch-black briefcase for an entire day, sleeping, waking up, then sleeping again. The accumulated wrath in her heart was so great that they were almost going to break through the skies.
Thankfully, there was no wrath that couldn’t be appeased by a glass marble.
If one wasn’t enough, then make it two.
After feeding the shell girl honey, Chen Shouyi switched on the television. The shell girl’s earlier wrath disappeared without a trace.
…
After settling things with the shell girl, Chen Shouyi opened up the parcels.
He first opened up a narrow and long box, rapidly removing the stiff cardboard surrounding it.
After opening the sword case, what appeared was a sheathed sword. The scabbard was made from some kind of tough wood that was decorated with prints, making it appear rustic and impressive.
He held onto the sword handle and slowly drew the sword out.
A grayish-white alloy longsword was instantly revealed before his eyes.
Although this was a secondhand sword, other than there being a few tiny sawtooth chips that made it appear a little flawed, it looked no different from a brand new sword. Clearly, it had been well maintained.
He took a liking to this sword immediately.
The blade was about 90 cm, and it was about 1.1 meters with the handle included. Weighing at about 10.1 kilograms, it was far heavier than the practice wooden swords.
The sword wasn’t thin like an ordinary decorative sword. Instead, it looked quite thick and sturdy. Chen Shouyi could faintly smell a hint of blood stench from it.
This was a true killing sword.
He casually performed a few pierce strikes in the air. Although it felt a little heavy, it was surprisingly handy.
The seller even sent a bottle of maintenance oil and a piece of silk cloth as gifts.
He stroked the sword lovingly, picked up the cloth, and gently wiped away the sweat stains left on it. He then returned the sword to the sheath and placed the sword back into the case.
