Chapter 59 Sword Qi (1/2)

After finishing the sweet breakfast, which was slowly starting to grow on him, Jian Shen took the Ethereal Phoenix Sword with him outside.

Like everyday, he raised the sword up and slashed it downwards. The movement so swift and accurate, that it seemed like his muscles had got used to it.

In just one slash Jian Shen figured out the difference between the wooden sword he used until now, and the black sword in his hands.

The obvious difference was that the Ethereal Phoenix Sword was heavier.

But, the difference one weight didn't seem too much even though the Ethereal Phoenix Sword was much longer than the wooden sword, and made purely of metal.

Other than this, the Ethereal Phoenix Sword had a very sharp blade which cut through the air and made his swings faster.

In this sense, the Ethereal Phoenix Sword was both heavy and light at the same time.

Also, unlike with his training with the wooden sword, Jian Shen felt even closer to the mysterious sensation when using the Ethereal Phoenix Sword.

Therefore, with twice the effort and determination, Jian Shen kept on swinging the black sword without even resting to have a break or eat lunch.

...

Having started early in the morning, Jian Shen's arms were now completely numb. He also knew, that his hands were repeating the same move out of muscle memory.

And so, if he stopped, Jian Shen knew that he would no longer be able to continue for today.

Therefore, with sheer willpower Jian Shen kept on swinging the black sword with his sweat covered arms since he felt that understanding the mysterious sensation was very close.

Also for some reason, as if by pure instinct, Jian Shen knew that if stopped now and gave in to exhaustion, he would never be comprehended that was most likely the Path of Sword.

”Haaa....”

Huffing and puffing, Jian Shen's arms were greatly trembling and his grip around the hilt looked like it would slip at any second.

”Aaaahhhh!”

Finally, something happened. As Jian Shen used all of his remaining strength to perform one last slash, something changed inside him.

It wasn't his body, his Dantian, or any such thing. But it felt like his soul had undergone a change from what he just learnt.

But, before he could figure out what it was, the black sword slipped from his fingers and began flying towards Qingyu who was standing not too far in front of him.

Not even frowning at the unexpected sword flying straight at her, Qingyu was just about to make a move and stop it, when her eyes widened in surprise.

Looking ahead she saw Jian Shen trying to stretch his hands as if trying to catch the sword which was out of his grasp.
