Chapter 328: Chapter 176: Fancy Swordplay
’Based on my comprehension of the Sword Dao, I can probably gain about 1000 progress points in an hour. That’s not too bad.’
’If I were willing to spend more time focused on cultivation, I could probably develop the Flame Sun Sword Stance in less than a month.’
’Unfortunately, I don’t have that much time. I should focus on cultivating my Qingfeng Saber Intent to the Perfection realm first.’
Shaking his head slightly, Chen Cheng took his leave.
Of all the External Martial Arts Skills Chen Cheng cultivated, the Qingfeng Saber Technique currently offered him the greatest benefit.
The Qingfeng Saber Technique was born from the Wind Chasing Saber Technique and the Deer Cutting Saber Technique. Chen Cheng had poured an immense amount of time and energy into these two techniques, building an extremely solid foundation and gaining the deepest comprehension from them.
Progressing from the Wind Chasing Saber Stance and the Horn-Cutting Saber Stance to the Qingfeng Saber Stance and then the Qingfeng Saber Intent, Chen Cheng’s comprehension of Sword and Saber Skills had already reached an extremely profound level.
Moreover, since cultivating with his panel guaranteed progress, his rate of improvement when practicing other Sword and Saber Techniques had naturally reached a ridiculously freakish level.
Furthermore, because Chen Cheng practiced the Iron Armor Skill, his vitality had grown to a terrifying degree. He constantly felt as if his body were a furnace, his Primordial Yang Qi abundant to the point of overflowing.
His affinity for the Flame Sun Sword Skill was likely even a cut above his compatibility with Cultivation Techniques like the Dragon’s Roar Iron Cloth Shirt.
"Huh? Where did Junior Brother Chen go?" Shen Qingyao had been so preoccupied with the image of Chen Cheng practicing his swordsmanship that she hadn’t noticed when he left.
By the time she snapped out of it, there was no sign of Chen Cheng in the courtyard.
’Junior Brother Chen’s aptitude is so high it’s simply monstrous. At this rate of cultivation, he’ll probably grasp the Flame Sun Sword Stance in less than half a year.’
’He might... he might even have a chance to comprehend the Radiant Sun Realm within a year.’
’No, I have to get him to focus on practicing the Flame Sun Sword Skill. In a year or two, we might be able to combine our swords and unleash the Sun and Moon Realm.’
Overcome with excitement, Shen Qingyao rushed eagerly toward Chen Cheng’s courtyard.
However, just as she reached the main garden, she was stopped by Mu Xiaowan and Shen Qingshuang.
Mu Xiaowan’s reasoning was, of course, that they mustn’t disturb Brother Cheng’s cultivation.
As for Shen Qingshuang, she was actually there to keep an eye on Shen Qingyao.
The two sisters had agreed to each teach Chen Cheng swordsmanship for one hour a day. Naturally, Shen Qingshuang couldn’t let Shen Qingyao take up any extra time, as that would cut into Chen Cheng’s practice of the Green Wave Sword Technique with her.
Though Shen Qingyao was impatient, she had no choice but to honor their agreement.
However, she didn’t return to her own courtyard. Instead, she followed Mu Xiaowan and Shen Qingshuang to an open area near the main garden and began practicing the Seven-Star Sword Technique.
Three peerless beauties—so stunning they could topple kingdoms, each with a celestial grace like a Fairy—gathered to practice their swordsmanship.
If a master painter were to see this, it would inspire a masterpiece titled "Three Fairies Practicing the Sword." If such a painting were to circulate, men from all corners of the world would likely trample one another for a chance to see it.
Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang barely spoke to each other, so Mu Xiaowan once again became the object of their competing tutelage.
Shen Qingyao had long been aware of Mu Xiaowan’s exceptional talent in the Martial Dao, but Shen Qingshuang was not as familiar with it.
When she saw Mu Xiaowan bring the Phantom Sword Technique to the Perfection realm in such a short time, and even show signs of being on the verge of comprehending the Phantom Sword Stance, she was inevitably stunned.
At midday, Mu Xiaowan went to arrange for lunch.
Shen Qingyao finally found her chance and asked Shen Qingshuang with great seriousness:
"Shen Qingshuang, did you know all along? That Chen Cheng’s aptitude is so high he can master any swordsmanship, even bringing it to the Perfection realm, with just a single practice session? Is that why you refuse to let him go?"
Shen Qingshuang truly had no idea just how talented Chen Cheng was when it came to Sword and Saber Skills, and for a moment, she was stunned.
She scrutinized Shen Qingyao, seeing she wasn’t joking. Still finding it hard to believe, a look of bewilderment crossed her beautiful face as she asked in return,
"Are you saying that in just one hour, Chen Cheng brought the Flame Sun Sword Skill to the Perfection realm?"
"Hmph..." Shen Qingyao let out a soft sigh and shot her a contemptuous look. "Shen Qingshuang, even now, you’re still trying to be secretive and hide the fact that Chen Cheng’s talent for the Martial Dao is incredibly high?
We grew up together as sisters. I can’t believe you’ve become such a disingenuous person!"
This was clearly unfair to Shen Qingshuang. Her expression turned frosty as she replied, "I have never seen Chen Cheng practice his Sword and Saber Techniques. How could I possibly know?"
