Both spurred their horses at full speed then headed out of town
They traveled for about half the day and rested in the woods in the afternoon
Chu Li was caly, but the spiritual energy fro his body He was not tired at all due to his strong mental vitality
Zhao Ying has the protection of her inner strength which prevented her froued as well However, the two horses that have been running for more than half day needed rest
It was not suitable to prolong the journey as the weather was scorching at this hour
The two of them sat in a paGoda located in the woods The condition of the paGoda was quite worn as it has been deteriorated by the wind and rain It used to be a resting place for workers during the construction of the imperial household
”Chu Li! I'll be practicing the S Reversal”
Zhao Ying pulled out her sword in haste
”Please assist me!”
”Alright, let's see here…”
Chu Li sat down leisurely
Zhao Ying rolled her eyes at Chu Li She then positioned herself in the h her maneuvers
Chu Li nodded as if he was thinking about so
Zhao Ying placed back her sword in its scabbard and looked towards Chu Li
”Brother Chu?”
Even though Chu Li looked like as if he was spaced out, he was actually going through every singleapart every move He re all of them
”Chu Li?” Zhao Ying called out
Chu Li looked lost in thought in Zhao Ying's eyes She got ht her swordsmanshi+p was not worth his time
Chu Li recovered frohts and smiled
”Chu Li, what's wrong with my swordsmanshi+p?”
Chu Li stood up and held out his hand
Zhao Ying handed hirance left on her blade
He flourished the sword
”Zhao Ying, I believe that you still haven't gotten the trick to the S Reversal down yet, not even close”
”Then you'll guiderolled her eyes
She had trained very hard was quite skilled in it However, Chu Li said it in such an arrogant tone
Chu Li gently wielded the sword The speed was unnaturally fast He swung the blade once more It looked so natural in his hand; it looked as if it was a streak of light or like a graceful s gliding past the lake, easily altering its speed
Zhao Ying followed every inch of the sword's movement She was already incredibly farasp the idea
Chu Li sheathed back the sword
”Do you get it now?
”The tempo…”
Zhao Ying murmured
Chu Li smiled
”You are very observant Tempo is key for the S Reversal to be performed It is indeed a fast skill, but you can't alwaysperiods of time You have to slon to achieve more momentum”
”Have you learned the S Reversal before, Chu Li?”
Zhao Ying furrowed her brows
”What I learned was the Delusion Split”
Chu Li shook his head
”Isn't that what Zhuo Feiyang is learning?”
”Well, I had learned it because I heard that he was studying it It splits through deception and goes straight to the heart The level is extreh”
Chu Li smiled
”Well, aren't yousounded unhappy
Chu Li chuckled and returned her sword
Zhao Ying took the sword and practiced Her face glowed brighter and brighter froht that such a small tip from Chu Li would propel her S Reversal into another level
He was right She was not even close toS Reversal This, however, is its true form
It was such a sha had not noticed her flawed perforether The sa it; she could have challenged The Tower of Ranking
With this level of skill, there was definitely hope for her to pass the rank eight challenges
Chu Li looked around for some spirit herbs The trees within a hundred meter radius around him provided aura to his system He arched his eyebrows and walked out of the paGoda He rass
The srass within the bushes looked just like any common weed But if someone were to pay close attention, they could tell that it is slightly greener than the grass and was spread evenly than other plants Chu Li gasped in surprise Was this his lucky day?
”What is this?”
A pleasant sot closer to it out of curiosity
”The Tendon Clearer” Chu Li said
”Lend me your sword for a bit”
He held out his hand
Zhao Ying handed him her sword
The sword sliced through the grass and the plant was collected On Chu Li's pal roots
He cautiously looked at the grass and s
Zhao Ying cleaned her sith a white silk handkerchief
”What is this for?”
”To strengthen your meridians”
Chu Li nodded his head and was still surprised
”This is very rare! With this, the time needed for me to build my foundation will decrease dramatically!”
”Really?”
Zhao Ying stopped wiping her sword
”It can really help one build their foundation?”
If that was the case, then the value of the Tendon Clearer is very high!
”But it must be matched with another herb”
Chu Li replied
”So by consu this, you can build your foundation, Chu Li?'
Chu Li smiled and did not say a word
