15: Chapter 15 Comprehending the Intent of the Sword! Teaching? Grandmaster of Fist Techniques!

"No."

Lu Qingyun did not agree to equip this longsword.

Because he didn't know if anything would change with this longsword after equipping it.

With Principal Mu Mingsheng present, it was not the right time to try.

"The reward for the mission is actually free attribute points, not bad."

Lu Qingyun took the longsword from Principal Mu Mingsheng, gripped it tightly, and slashed downwards towards the empty space in front!

The sword's edge cut through the air, emitting a soft hum.

[Serious swings + 1]

After swinging it a few more times, Lu Qingyun was still not satisfied, but Principal Mu Mingsheng, who was watching from the side, couldn't bear to watch any longer.

"Alright, I've already seen your foundation."

"Very nice, it reminds me of my childhood."

After Principal Mu Mingsheng snatched the longsword back from Lu Qingyun's hand, a look of disappointment inevitably appeared in his eyes.

As a master who had been immersed in the way of the sword for decades and had already comprehended Sword Intent, he could conclude from just those few glances that Lu Qingyun had absolutely no talent for the sword!

Since that was the case, he would have to look for someone else to teach him about weaponry.

It would depend on which weapon Lu Qingyun was suited for.

He stood up and brought Lu Qingyun to the third floor of the martial arts hall at No. 7 High School.

This was an area not open to the public.

All kinds of weapons—swords, spears, blades, halberds, staves, forks, etc.—were available.

However, the quality was very mediocre; although they were sharpened, if they were used to deal with ferocious beasts, they would likely break before long.

"Try them all, choose the one that suits you best."

"No need, I've already chosen."

Lu Qingyun walked forward and took down a standard long blade; the blade was wide and sharp, quite suitable for a bold and unconstrained fighting style.

Seeing that Lu Qingyun had directly chosen the blade, Principal Mu Mingsheng didn't say much else.

Judging by Lu Qingyun's performance with the sword just now, he probably really had no talent for weapons.

It was better to let him choose one he liked.

"Alright. Then from now on, this will be your training ground."

"I will go find a blade technique teacher for you. As for martial arts, you can practice them on your own for now, and I will come to instruct you when I have time."

Principal Mu Mingsheng didn't pay attention to Lu Qingyun, who was excitedly swinging the blade after getting it.

After giving instructions, he left.

However, he did not see that as he walked out the door, Lu Qingyun, who had been flailing about blindly behind his back, suddenly shone with a bright, starlike light during a very ordinary swing!

That was... the manifestation of comprehending Blade Intent!

[Mission Complete! Reward: Selected weapon—blade, now mastered (Blade Intent Level 1, 0/2000). Free Attribute Points + 1, EXP + 100]

The moment he swung that brilliant blade, Lu Qingyun felt a flood of blade techniques pour into his mind, along with a domineering, unstoppable artistic conception!

From that moment on, he jumped from a complete novice in blade techniques to a master of blade arts that someone might not become even after being immersed in the blade path for decades!

"Blade Intent, it's actually quite interesting."

When Lu Qingyun held the long blade in his hand, he felt as if it were an extension of his own arm, exceptionally relaxed.

What he didn't know was that learning any weapon is a process of going from shallow to deep.

After learning the most basic moves and mastering them, with practice, one might be able to comprehend the Momentum of the weapon!

Those who can comprehend the Momentum of a weapon are already considered to have a little talent.

Most people can't reach this level at all!

And those with outstanding talent who nurture the Momentum of their weapon to its peak, after years of honing, can comprehend the Intent of the weapon from the Momentum!

Reaching the level of comprehending the Intent of a weapon is enough to be called a master-level figure!

Such people can fight against opponents of higher levels when using weapons, and their lethality is extremely strong!

Principal Mu Mingsheng practiced sword techniques for many years before barely reaching the level of comprehending Sword Intent.

And Lu Qingyun, the time he spent... was not even a moment!

"But how is it only Level 1 Blade Intent, and now just swinging it randomly doesn't increase EXP. It seems it can only be improved through actual combat or practicing advanced blade techniques."

Lu Qingyun performed a very flashy blade flourish, and after finding it had no effect, he immediately tossed it aside.

Crack.

That standard long blade, which was already of poor quality and had experienced several infusions of Blade Intent, shattered into two pieces on the ground.

Lu Qingyun didn't care.

Since the weapon was more or less enough, the remaining time should naturally be used to practice other things.

In this environment, the practice of martial arts could begin.

Boom—!

Boom—!!

In this incomparably empty place, dull and loud sounds kept ringing out, like thunder roaring!

[Nine-Layer Bombing Fist EXP + 1, + 1...]

[Wave-Stepping Trace-less EXP + 1, + 1...]

As time passed, the two martial arts went from uninitiated, to initiated, and then to proficient...

...

"Principal Mu, this old man will definitely not fail your trust."

"As long as he is willing to endure hardship, before the Martial Examination, I will definitely teach him to the stage of comprehending Momentum! By then, the Thunder-Shock Blade that I, Teacher Yang Ting, have created with my life's work will also be taught to him!"

An old man dressed in a grey Zhongshan suit, with temples bulging high, and eyes that always revealed a murderous aura, was solemnly speaking to Principal Mu Mingsheng.

His eyes looking at Principal Mu Mingsheng were full of gratitude.

Clearly, Principal Mu Mingsheng had helped him greatly in the past.

"There's no need to be like that. Although that kid has good cultivation talent, his talent in weaponry is... hard to describe. If you feel unwilling, don't force yourself. Anyway, I don't need to create any political achievements. And with that kid's talent, this is just icing on the cake."

"The reason I found you is just because I bear the responsibility of being the principal of No. 7 High School, and I just want to find a better teacher for the talented students under me as much as possible."

"Alright, that kid is inside, you can go in directly. The two martial arts books I originally prepared for that kid are ones you also know, so you might as well teach them together. It saves me some trouble, haha."

Principal Mu Mingsheng pointed to the martial arts hall and said.

Immediately, he received a phone call, and his expression became very serious.

After giving a few simple instructions, he walked away quickly.

Teacher Yang Ting watched Principal Mu Mingsheng's back, his expression becoming extremely serious.

His whole person was as sharp as a drawn blade, as if just by his aura, he could pierce a ferocious beast!

"Rest assured, Principal Mu."

"If it weren't for you back then, I would have died on the battlefield long ago."

"I originally thought that with my meager strength, I couldn't do anything for you. Since I have this opportunity, I will definitely do my best to train this person! Whether it's the blade or martial arts, these two shortcomings will be filled!"

"Perhaps, if he can get into those Top-tier Martial Universities, you might also be able to..."

Teacher Yang Ting firmed his resolve, starting from this moment to accumulate blade momentum, adjusting his state to the peak.

He walked step by step towards the third floor of the martial arts hall, wanting to meet Lu Qingyun in his prime state.

He wanted to use absolute aura to make Lu Qingyun submit to him in the shortest time possible, and willingly follow him to learn the blade!

Bang—!

The door was kicked open by him!

His gaze locked onto the only youth in the hall like a hawk.

In his field of vision, that youth punched forward.

In that instant, he seemed to see a towering mountain range shaking and roaring!

The astonishing blade momentum he had painstakingly condensed shattered instantly!

That was a extremely pure Fist Intent, with the power to shake mountains!

"Mountain-Shaking Fist, Master!!?"
