Lian Cheng, upon hearing this, didn’t refuse.
Helping his own family was only natural, and these sword techniques were now the foundation of the Huashan Sect.
Recording them now would make it easier to review them in the future, and they wouldn’t have to go to the cave to learn them, which would increase the risk of exposing the cave.
Lian Cheng quickly sat down, learned about the recording progress, and immediately joined the recording ranks.
It wasn’t until dusk that the recording of the cave sword techniques was finally finished.
Yue Buqun took out a delicate box, put away all the recorded sword techniques, and even locked it up. He would definitely find a hidden place to store it later.
Ning Zhongze smiled and asked: “Cheng'er, what were you looking for us for before?”
“Oh, I almost forgot.”
Lian Cheng hurriedly said: “Master, Mistress, while I was in seclusion at the Cliff of Reflection, I comprehended a sword technique from Tang Dynasty poetry. I would like to ask Master and Mistress for guidance. Also, I have been studying the I Ching these past two days, and I have comprehended a light-body skill based on the sixty-four hexagrams of the I Ching. I would like to ask Master and Mistress to chase after me to see how fast my skill is.”
Oh?
The two were surprised, but not too surprised.
Lian Cheng’s talent was truly extraordinary. It wasn’t surprising that he could comprehend new sword techniques and light-body skills, but they didn’t take it too seriously.
After all, no matter how brilliant a teenager was, the martial arts he comprehended wouldn’t be too overpowered.
Of course, in order to take care of their disciple’s emotions, they would naturally support him.
Yue Buqun nodded: “Alright, this Master will personally test your newly created sword technique and light-body skill!”
Not long after, the three of them went outside. When the other disciples saw this, they all stepped forward to pay their respects. Linghu Chong had already taken Yue Lingshan out for a walk. The little girl, upon seeing her mother, immediately ran over and was then held in an enviable embrace.
“Father, Mother, what are you doing?” Yue Lingshan asked with wide eyes.
“Oh, it’s your second senior brother who has created new techniques, and he’s asking your father for guidance.” Ning Zhongze replied with a smile.
“Second senior brother created new techniques?”
The little girl tilted her head, obviously not understanding. Linghu Chong and the others were stunned. Unlike Yue Lingshan, they had already begun to learn sword techniques, and Linghu Chong had even started cultivating the Primordial Chaos Art, so they naturally understood more.
Learning the basic sword techniques was already difficult, but the second senior brother had already started to innovate. This was simply too outstanding.
For a moment, Linghu Chong felt both admiration and loss.
Lian Cheng had already drawn his sword at this time, facing Yue Buqun with a serious expression.
Yue Buqun, however, remained calm and composed. He flicked his sword and said encouragingly: “Cheng'er, whatever techniques you have, just attack this Master with all your might. Don’t worry about hurting this Master.”
“Good! Master, be careful, my first move is ‘Night Stay at Maple Bridge’!”
Swish! Lian Cheng held the sword hilt with both hands and stabbed out quickly, reciting the poem: “The moon sets, crows caw, frost fills the sky; River maple, fisherman’s fire, face sad sleep. Outside the city of Gusu, the cold mountain temple; In the middle of the night, the bell sound reaches the traveler’s boat.”
As the poem was recited, the sword move directly stabbed towards Yue Buqun’s vital point.
Yue Buqun raised his sword to block, but Lian Cheng’s sword move changed, and it stabbed towards another vital point.
“‘Sent to the Frontier’!”
“‘Quiet Night Thoughts’!”
“‘Early Departure from White Emperor City’!”
Poem after poem was recited, each poem corresponding to a sword move. They were incredibly exquisite. Even Yue Buqun had to respond seriously. His eyes were filled with wonder.
Yue Buqun deliberately suppressed his cultivation and originally intended to respond with the strength of a third-rate expert. However, unexpectedly, he was no match for Lian Cheng. He had to use his second-rate strength and his most practiced “Nurturing My Sword” technique to successfully suppress Lian Cheng.
Even Ning Zhongze was stunned, and the others were dumbfounded.
As the saying goes, outsiders watch the fun while insiders watch the moves. The little ones only saw that Lian Cheng could exchange so many moves with his Master, so they thought Lian Cheng was amazing. But Ning Zhongze could see that Lian Cheng’s new sword technique was truly extraordinary.
It was even more exquisite than the current sword techniques of the Huashan Sect, even surpassing the sword techniques in the cave!
If it was really comprehended by this little guy, then it would be truly incredible!
Lian Cheng finished reciting thirty-six Tang Dynasty poems and sheathed his sword accordingly.
Yue Buqun was overjoyed and hurriedly asked: “Cheng'er, did you really comprehend this sword technique yourself?”
Lian Cheng nodded sincerely: “Yes. Master knows that I enjoy reading. While I was in seclusion, I discovered that sword techniques combined with the artistic conception and rhythm of Tang Dynasty poems would become very exquisite. So, I diligently researched it for a month and finally created this Tang Poetry Sword Technique. Hehe, I am being bold, I call it the Lian Cheng Sword Technique!”
“Hahaha! Good! Good, the Lian Cheng Sword Technique!”
Yue Buqun didn’t feel that Lian Cheng was being cheeky. He only felt that the Huashan Sect had gained another treasure. He increasingly realized the importance of Lian Cheng, and even felt that Lian Cheng was the future hope of the Huashan Sect!
“Right, you said you also comprehended a new light-body skill. Now try it out.” Yue Buqun was full of anticipation.
“Alright, Master, you can try to chase me.”
Lian Cheng said, stepping on the “Lingbo Weibu” (Ethereal Steps) light-body skill. In an instant, he dashed out. In the blink of an eye, only a cloud of dust remained, and the little ones widened their mouths in shock, unaware that they had eaten some dust.
So fast!
The Yue Buqun couple was even more surprised.
Yue Buqun didn’t hesitate and immediately used his light-body skill to chase after him. He started with his second-rate strength, but unexpectedly, he could only follow behind and eat dust. He couldn’t catch up at all.
“This light-body skill is truly amazing. My second disciple is truly extraordinary!”
Yue Buqun simply used his first-rate strength and swished past Lian Cheng, grabbing towards his collar. However, Lian Cheng dodged to the side, stepping on a different position, barely avoiding it, and then sprinted in another direction.
“Excellent!”
Yue Buqun praised, continuing to chase after him to catch him.
However, Lian Cheng managed to dodge every time. It was clear that this light-body skill was extremely fast and agile.
After Yue Buqun had a clear understanding of this new light-body skill, he stopped playing and immediately used all his strength to grab Lian Cheng. His face, however, was filled with a joyful smile.
Lian Cheng chuckled: “Master, what do you think of my light-body skill?”
Yue Buqun didn’t hold back his praise: “Excellent. Let’s go back to the Zhengqi Hall first, and I’ll tell you and your Mistress in detail.”
Soon, the three of them arrived at the Zhengqi Hall. Lian Cheng immediately said: “This light-body skill is called ‘Lingbo Weibu’. It is comprehended based on the sixty-four hexagrams of the I Ching. Moreover, it can be learned without inner strength. In addition, every time you complete the sixty-four hexagrams, your inner breath will circulate for a full cycle, and your inner strength will also increase accordingly.”
As for the “Lingbo Weibu” learned by Duan Yu, it was lost anyway. Lian Cheng didn’t care.
Now, “Lingbo Weibu” was created by him!
“It actually has such benefits?!” The couple, who were already surprised, were now shocked. Their eyes were wide with excitement as they stared at their precious disciple.
The Huashan Sect had such a treasure of a disciple. How could it not prosper!
Lian Cheng now also had a certain understanding of the Lian Cheng Sword Technique and “Lingbo Weibu”. In simple terms, the Lian Cheng Sword Technique was stronger than the sword techniques of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, while “Lingbo Weibu” could give him a speed comparable to a first-rate expert!
With this, even if he faced an ordinary first-rate expert, he would have a chance of survival!
