Joy of Life: Invincible Starting from Basic Swordsmanship

Chapter 3: Farewell to Gu Jian, Sword Control Technique

Three years later, Ye Chengfeng brought Xiaolan back to the Sword Pavilion.

The two female disciples who used to guard the Sword Pavilion have now been replaced.

Instead, two young girls took their place; these two were disciples of Yun Zhilan.

Before Ye Chengfeng even entered the Sword Pavilion, Yun Zhilan was already waiting at the door.

"Let's go, your teacher has been waiting for you for a long time."

"wait for me?"

Ye Chengfeng was slightly taken aback.

Three years ago, when Si Gu Jian was instructing Ye Chengfeng, Yun Zhilan was by his side.

Si Gu Jian's request to Ye Chengfeng was naturally heard by him.

In Yun Zhilan's view, Ye Chengfeng's sword intent had already reached a high level a year ago.

But he did not come to see Si Gu Jian for a long time.

Yun Zhilan had to subtly probe Xiao Lan for a long time before she finally learned the reason why Ye Chengfeng hadn't come.

He actually thought he hadn't grasped the essence of swordsmanship yet!

Yun Zhilan told her teacher, Si Gu Jian, about this, and Si Gu Jian secretly went to observe Ye Chengfeng practicing swordsmanship.

Just as Yun Zhilan said, Ye Chengfeng's sword intent level had long since met his requirements.

Later, Si Gu Jian would occasionally secretly observe Ye Chengfeng, but after Ye Chengfeng created the "Sword Control Technique," he stopped going there.

Si Gu Jian snorted coldly and never went back.

Especially a year ago, when Si Gu Jianxin took on a new disciple, he had even less interest in paying attention to Ye Chengfeng.

Seeing Ye Chengfeng's puzzled look, Yun Zhilan sighed helplessly.

Such a promising talent, and it's been wasted for two whole years!

"Sigh, the teacher is stubborn too; she just lets Chengfeng run wild."

Yun Zhilan only dared to grumble a few words in her heart, but it wasn't really a grudge. She just felt sorry for Ye Chengfeng, such a genius in swordsmanship.

In terms of swordsmanship talent, Yun Zhilan believed that Ye Chengfeng was much stronger than his teacher's newly accepted junior brother.

Ye Chengfeng's only weakness is his cultivation of true qi.

But he also knew the reason: Ye Chengfeng had been frail and sickly since childhood, and his condition had only improved in recent years.

Upon arriving at the thatched hut, Ye Chengfeng saw a boy, slightly older than him, practicing swordsmanship.

And what he cultivated was the Four-Looking Sword!

Ye Chengfeng glanced at the boy once and then lost interest.

With his talent for swordsmanship, he could tell at a glance that this young man had only just begun practicing swordsmanship.

Ye Chengfeng turned to look at Si Gu Jian, but Si Gu Jian seemed not to see him at all and completely ignored him.

Ye Chengfeng didn't believe that Si Gu Jian was unaware of his arrival!

He probably knew about it as soon as he arrived at the Sword Pavilion.

No, it should be that Si Gu Jian received the news when Ye Chengfeng headed towards the Sword Pavilion.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have had Yun Zhilan meet him at the door.

It should be noted that the actual administrator of Dongyi City today is not Si Gu Jian, but Yun Zhi Lan.

However, Dongyi City is ultimately just a city, and Yun Zhilan doesn't have many government affairs to handle.

The problem is more about finance.

As for finances, it has always been managed by the second disciple, Li Bohua.

"Hey, I'm here. Aren't you going to test me?"

Si Gu Jian merely frowned at Ye Chengfeng's rudeness, still ignoring him.

Seeing that Si Gu Jian still ignored him, Ye Chengfeng got angry.

He gave a soft snort and turned to leave.

Before Yun Zhilan could stop Ye Chengfeng, Si Gu Jian couldn't help but speak first.

"Idiot, get over here now."

Ye Chengfeng rolled his eyes. This expressionless old man actually knows how to swear!

Si Gu Jian didn't really think Ye Chengfeng was stupid.

They also do not believe that Ye Chengfeng's creation of the "Sword Control Technique" was wrong.

It was because Ye Chengfeng grasped the sword control technique at the wrong time.

Ye Chengfeng's understanding of swordsmanship and sword intent was already sufficient; otherwise, he would not have been able to create the "Sword Control Technique."

However, Ye Chengfeng's true qi cultivation is too poor; he is currently only a sixth-grade martial artist.

In contrast, his newly initiated disciple, Wang Xi, has already caught up with Ye Chengfeng in just two years.

How could Si Gu Jian not be angry?

Since Ye Chengfeng is so talented, why doesn't Si Gu Jian take him as his disciple?

The root cause is Ye Chengfeng's identity.

Si Gu Jian is the illegitimate son of the previous Dongyi City Lord, while Ye Chengfeng is the son of the previous City Lord's uncle.

According to seniority, Ye Chengfeng is Si Gujian's uncle.

Taking his own uncle as an apprentice?

In this era, there is a strict hierarchy and filial piety is of utmost importance. Although Si Gu Jian is mad, he does not want to disrupt the proper order of things.

This is also why Ye Chengfeng was initially rejected when he asked to become a disciple.

Seeing Ye Chengfeng looking at him with a face full of dissatisfaction and resentment, Si Gu Jian felt a headache coming on.

"Aren't you going to demonstrate your swordsmanship?"

"Fine, then practice! Why are you yelling?"

Calling someone an idiot is already disrespectful to an elder, and Si Gu Jian really couldn't do anything about Ye Chengfeng at this point.

Because of the commotion, Wang Xi also stopped and looked over.

"Is he the genius the teacher was talking about? He's so young!"

Geniuses are often a bit arrogant, and Wang Xi didn't think he was any worse than him.

Meanwhile, Ye Chengfeng had already begun practicing his swordsmanship.

Ye Chengfeng simply used the most basic sword moves, leaving Wang Xi puzzled.

There are only a few basic sword techniques, and Ye Chengfeng finished practicing them in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

"How was it? Did it meet your requirements?"

Si Gu Jian did not answer immediately.

Although Ye Chengfeng met the requirements two years ago.

Although he started creating his own sword control technique two years ago, he has not stopped practicing basic sword techniques.

Instead, they worked even harder!

Although I'm still learning and improving on my own, I still have to learn from the things that Si Gu Jian pointed out in the first year.

Ye Chengfeng had already figured him out.

"Why don't you use that sword control technique of yours?"

The original intention of Si Gu Jian was to ride the wind and destroy the leaves.

But Ye Chengfeng didn't think so; he believed that Si Gu Jian had acknowledged his sword control technique.

"Hmph, now you know how powerful I am!"

Ye Chengfeng said arrogantly, and without hiding anything, he directly used his sword control technique.

To put it simply, his sword control technique is just a series of skills that use internal energy to control the sword.

Grandmasters can see through the essence of this technique at a glance.

Similarly, below the Grandmaster level, even if one obtains the complete cultivation method, it is extremely difficult to even begin to learn.

Yun Zhilan was one of those who tried cultivation.

When Ye Chengfeng practiced the sword control technique, he did not hide it from anyone. In fact, when Yun Zhilan inquired about it, Ye Chengfeng wrote down the techniques and gave them to Yun Zhilan.

The result was obvious: Yun Zhilan failed to cultivate successfully.

In short, Ye Chengfeng's self-created "Sword Control Technique" was not intended for martial artists below the Grandmaster level to practice.

Ye Chengfeng was able to create this sword control technique entirely because his swordsmanship was at a sufficiently high level.

They have already reached the initial stage of controlling swords with divine power.

"Sword Control!"

Wang Xi stood there stunned, then smiled bitterly to himself: 'I was arrogant; I actually thought my talent was no less than his!'

"Hmph, all flashy and superficial, putting the cart before the horse. Can your sword control technique even hurt anyone?"

"Forehead!"

Si Gu Jian's words were too hurtful. Ye Chengfeng created this sword control technique not for combat, but to gain proficiency in basic swordsmanship more quickly.

With Ye Chengfeng's current abilities, he can wield two swords simultaneously, which, combined with his own proficiency, gives him three times the skill level.

And Si Gu Jian's words were also correct.

This sword control technique is completely useless to others; it has little offensive power, and with the slightest interference, the sword controlled by the technique will deviate from its intended trajectory.

"Hmph, it's none of your business."

Ye Chengfeng still had that defiant look on his face.
