27: Practicing swordsmanship under the moon

The crisp moonlight fell like a bolt of silk upon the Earth.

As the night wind caressed, the intense heat in the Ninth Army Base gradually dissipated.

When the lights in the recruit dormitory extinguished one after another, Chen Fan, along with Fang Yan, Ling Chen, Yun Feng, and Xiao Han, quietly slipped into the training ground.

It was already deep into the night, and only a few figures moved within the vast training ground.

Chen Fan and the four others arrived at the center of the training ground, a spot where they would not be disturbed.

Under the dim yellow light, the five sat cross-legged on the ground.

On the training ground, which emitted a plastic smell, Chen Fan began to explain his insights and understanding of blade techniques, patiently and meticulously.

“All martial arts under heaven, nothing is indestructible, only speed is supreme.”

Quoting a sentence from the title page of “Ninefold Thunderblade,” Chen Fan officially began his explanation of blade techniques for the night.

“The way of the Battle Blade lies not only in its fierce and overbearing power, its sharp edge fully revealed, but also in a kind of speed—speed to the extreme, capable of breaking through anything.”

“Speed not only grants the Battle Blade extraordinary power but also allows for a fatal strike when an opponent is caught off guard.”

This time, he did not just recite the text and explanations from the Ninefold Thunderblade to Xiao Han and the others.

Instead, he slowly articulated his understanding and insights gained through the Golden Finger.

Starting from the minute details often makes it easier to comprehend and grasp.

Theory combined with practice.

As he spoke, Chen Fan picked up the Battle Blade beside him and began to demonstrate for the four.

Midway through, Chen Fan even invited Fang Yan to be his opponent, to more clearly demonstrate the swift and powerful blade techniques to everyone... Not far away.

Ninth Army, lounge.

Fu Fengxue stood quietly by the window, watching the several people gesticulating on the training ground, a faint smile gracing his face.

With his God of War level hearing, he could naturally hear Chen Fan’s explanation very clearly.

He turned his head to look at the two long blades on the blade rack, a thoughtful glint in his eyes.

Whoosh!!

Suddenly, two gusts of wind swept through the office, and a misty figure floated past.

Standing by the window again, Fu Fengxue now held a long blade in his hand.

Thump thump thump!!

Crisp knocking sounds echoed, and Fu Fengxue put down the long blade, his voice deep as he said, “Come in.”

“I’m here to report something to you.”

“Speak freely.”

Immediately after, Qin Xianzhen recounted everything that had happened in the cultivation room earlier, leaving nothing out.

This included helping them cultivate and then their power increasing, nothing was missed.

“This kid, he actually possesses such miraculous abilities!”

After hearing Qin Xianzhen’s words, Fu Fengxue narrowed his eyes slightly, gazing into the distance.

At the center of the training ground, a young man in a white training uniform stood with a blade, seemingly gathering momentum.

The next moment, he moved.

The dim yellow light illuminated him, like a phantom mountain spirit.

Chen Fan’s blade techniques were fluid, revealing the true nature of a strong individual in their broad and sweeping movements.

Swish swish!!

The blade light was sharp, its movements like a forest.

As Chen Fan’s movements quickened, almost every blade strike carried a whistling gust of wind.

Later, Chen Fan’s blade techniques were as swift as thunder, fierce and domineering, with an unstoppable momentum.

All of this was as if the Battle Blade in Chen Fan’s hand had been imbued with life and fighting spirit, its edge fully revealed.

What excellent Ninefold Thunderblade!

Fu Fengxue silently observed Chen Fan’s every move, his curiosity about this young man deepening a few more points.

For an ordinary Warrior General to be able to practice blade techniques to such a degree was already very difficult.

Not to mention a young man of such an age.

It seems he’s a little fellow with real skill!

Fu Fengxue nodded, his face filled with relief.

Even from hundreds of meters away, Fu Fengxue could clearly sense the sharp aura emanating from Chen Fan.

This, like the iron-blooded killing intent of a soldier, required long-term nurturing to reach such a level.

“I really can’t tell that this kid, despite his young age, has so many secrets.”

Fu Fengxue exclaimed in surprise; Chen Fan had simply given him too many surprises.

Whether it was his strength to kill a High-level General, or his ability to help Qin Xianzhen and other Warrior Generals cultivate and improve, or even this blade technique grandmaster on the training ground.

Each of these things, taken individually, was not something a young man could accomplish.

Yet, these things were all concentrated on Chen Fan, a young man who was only seventeen or eighteen years old.

Amidst his exclamations, Fu Fengxue’s curiosity about Chen Fan deepened once again.

Not only that, with Fu Fengxue’s eyesight, he could naturally tell that Chen Fan’s movement technique was extraordinary.

“To be able to unleash the power to kill a High-level Beast General with only the strength of a beginner Warrior General, at least I’ve only heard of two people with such a record.”

As he spoke, Fu Fengxue looked at Qin Xianzhen, their eyes meeting, everything unspoken.

Those two individuals with such glorious records were naturally the world’s first strongest, Hong, and the second strongest, Thunder God.

Hong, an acclaimed assassin before the rr virus outbreak, made rapid progress during the early stages of the Great Nirvana, quickly breaking through to Warrior General, God of War... and ultimately surpassing God of War.

As for Thunder God, he had studied ancient yoga from Lion Country and ancient martial arts from China since childhood, and he even combined the two, reaching a state of unity with nature, thereby breaking through the realm of God of War.

It could be said without exaggeration that Hong and Thunder God were the mainstays of the entire Earth.

Without them putting out fires everywhere and deterring monsters, humanity’s situation would probably be several times more difficult now.

Recalling his thoughts, Fu Fengxue focused his gaze on Chen Fan, watching his flickering figure and increasingly condensed blade momentum, a thought flashing through his mind.

A dragon in a pond is no ordinary creature; once it encounters wind and rain, it transforms into a dragon!!!

“True strong individuals do not grow up in martial arts halls or cultivation rooms.”

“They must experience danger, face the fear of life and death, take risks on the edge of life and death, and then constantly break through limits, rapidly improving.”

Of course, Fu Fengxue only said these words in his heart.

Secretly, Fu Fengxue had already arranged Chen Fan’s next mission.

A few days of familiarization in the recruit camp would be enough; his true stage was still in the Wilderness Area.

Flowers raised in a greenhouse cannot withstand storms.

To become strong, one must take risks, break through limits in a desperate struggle with monsters, and become stronger.

At this moment, Fu Fengxue’s eyes, as he looked at Chen Fan, held a faint flicker of fire.

Even Qin Xianzhen was startled by the aura emanating from Fu Fengxue.

For a long time, his superior had not had such intense emotional fluctuations.

This new recruit, Chen Fan, was truly extraordinary.

Thinking this, Qin Xianzhen took a deep look at the young recruit in the center of the training ground, who was immersed in blade technique practice, and genuinely liked the kid from the bottom of his heart.

Such a talent was the future of Kyoto Base City and even the entire China.

After a long while, Fu Fengxue finally pulled himself out of his reverie.

Talent and future should not be confused; how far Chen Fan could grow still required him to experience and improve himself.

Having understood this point, Fu Fengxue’s lips curved into a smile, and his gaze at Chen Fan was filled with curiosity and... anticipation!!
