Chapter 390 - The Unrelenting Stick! (2) (2/2)
Just by a single step made by his opponent, his attack was decreased dramatically?!
He was blinded by shame at first from the act of killing his own teacher, but being pummeled by words, he woke up, he can see everything clearly now.
And as it is, he immediately changed his swing's trajectory to the opposite making his body turn like a top, although it decreased his slash's powers, it's at least 3/4 of what he was intending to do! Or even more!
Mo Xie seeing this nodded: ”Great! But not so great!”
Xuan Yuan spinning is actually another huge flaw! Leaving his right side completely open!
PAK! Xuan Yuan was sent flying a few dozens meters away before he could even swing his sword!
”Since you've improved, I won't be as harsh as earlier!
Seeing that your attack will merely fail, you've decided to change your attack again, it can be considered as a feint, your flexibility is great in this aspect!”
”And as you flew away, you still held your sword, now, that is a good point too. Not letting go of one's sword even after being struck is a great way of the sword art! One of the few basics that others think lightly of!”
”But then...” After Mo Xie's compliment, next is... ”Why did you have to jump?”
”I already said it when playing with those three earlier, flashy moves are for street performers! Are you a street performer?! You're my student! To dance like that and all!”
”Ah wait, maybe you're not a swordmaster but instead a terpsichore1 instead!”
”Pfft!” Xuan Yuan vomited blood, but that wasn't the end as Mo Xie continued assaulting him with words.
After three hours that felt an eternity for Xuan Yuan, something had changed but his body completely covered with violet bruises, not even sparing his face! But there are no bumps on his body, this is something quite mystifying for Kara.
But then, Kara nodded: ”As expected of my master, even after pummeling an individual to look like a person from another race, there wouldn't be a trace! Just the color of his skin changed!”
Xuan Yuan after being pummelled repeatedly but instead of gasping for air, he is as calm as the ocean waves and flowing like the wind.”
'Just three hours and I already suffered thousands of strikes from master, not even able to clash with his... his stick!'
If it's a real opponent, he would have already committed suicide! But it's his master! And for some reason, his movements felt more refined the longer they proceed!
”Master, I'll try again!”
”Un!” Mo Xie replied casually.
As Xuan Yuan charged, his movements are devoid of any useless move, almost completely refined without doing any wide attacks!
Mo Xie couldn't help but smile as he continued to shift the power of Xuan Yuan's slash towards him elsewhere!
”Your feet are too much spread apart!
Pak!
”Your armpit is open!”
Ppak!
”Why are your knees positioned like that!”
Pak! Pak! Pak!
Xuan Yuan figured it, every strike Mo Xie had done, is to correct his posture!
”HAAA!” Xuan Yuan slashed at the last moment, his speed had increased by more than twenty times! His form devoid of any easy openings as he slashed down from his upper left to his lower right!
But as Mo Xie was about to hit the body of the sword again to shift it away, Xuan Yuan rotated his body, his muscles bulging completely as veins started to pop out of his skin spurting blood as his left hand let go of the sword!
Using his ankles to gather his momentum bringing the force to his waist and then to his shoulder! All of his body being used completely, he felt it, Xuan Yuan felt it, his whole body is working as one exceeding his own physical limit!
Peng! This time, Xuan Yuan couldn't help but smile, for the first time, he had struck Mo Xie's stick!
His sword slashed Mo Xie's stick! Striking it completely!
Although it didn't get slashed in half, he could feel it, the stick is covered with Sword Intent!
Mo Xie smiled: ”Good, you've now completed the basic training!”
Hearing this, Xuan Yuan couldn't help but look at Mo Xie: ”Master... that's... that's only the basics?”
Xuan Yuan felt stronger than ever before, not only tenfold, he felt that his strength had increased by a hundred!
Mo Xie smirked: ”Yes!”
”I won't heal your body, you will have to recuperate yourself and comprehend our training until you master it completely!”
Xuan Yuan couldn't help but excitedly nod his head, he knelt on the ground: ”Master, thank you for your guidance! I will deeply treasure this chance and...”
He couldn't even finish his word as he slowly fell down completely and fell asleep.
Mo Xie couldn't help but smile: ”Yes, you will inherit my title as the sword emperor of that time, and I will pursue a higher path!” terpsichore is the art of dancing! In this novel, it can be used as both defensive and offensive means, and also, a wide range of its practitioners used it as a seduction technique!
