Chapter 2: Rumors from the Martial World Are Wrong
To others, Shi Zhongyu was as dull as a wooden chicken.
In fact, on a page of the invisible book in front of Shi Zhongyu, words were constantly jumping around.
[Complete basic moves of the Snow Mountain Sword Technique detected]
[Snow Mountain Heart Sutra Introductory Technique Detected]
[Should it automatically parse, record, and deduce?]
What else is there to say?
"yes!"
With a thought from Shi Zhongyu.
The words on the pages began to move again.
[Martial arts skills are being automatically analyzed...]
[Analysis of the three beginner forms of Snow Mountain Swordplay is complete]
[Snow Mountain Mindset: Beginner's Guide Completed]
When the martial arts analysis was completed, Shi Zhongyu felt his mind suddenly clear. The originally obscure and difficult-to-understand sword principles and mental techniques became as clear as black and white words on paper after the book was deduced.
Seeing Shi Zhongyu's dazed expression, Feng Wanli's face darkened, and he said sternly, "You didn't even remember a single move?"
A man beside him chuckled, "Senior brother, it seems this kid is a bit slow-witted and doesn't have much talent."
The other person echoed this sentiment.
"Junior Brother Geng makes a good point. Senior Brother will have to put in a lot more effort with this dull-witted disciple!"
As they were making fun of him, they saw Shi Zhongyu silently grip the iron sword in his hand and slowly raise it.
The next moment, the jade in the stone moved.
As Shi Zhongyu moved, the most standard sword trajectory automatically appeared in his mind.
The pages of the book are like the most rigorous mentor, constantly correcting his every inch of posture and every bit of force.
Sink your waist, brace yourself, and flick your wrist slightly.
First move – Falling Snow!
With a light touch of the sword tip, it floated down like a snowflake, yet remained as steady as Mount Tai.
[Snow Mountain Swordplay: Effective move execution, swordplay proficiency +1]
[Current: Beginner 1/100]
The second move – Seeking Plum Blossoms!
With a sudden shift in swordplay, the sword moved nimbly, subtly echoing the image of a plum blossom reaching out to explore a branch.
[Effective move executed, swordsmanship proficiency +1]
[Beginner 2/100]
The third move – Frost Sweep!
He casually swung his sword, exuding a chilling aura; his posture was upright and flawless.
[Effective move executed +1]
[Complete a basic sword technique: Sword technique proficiency +10]
[Snow Mountain Swordplay: Beginner Level 13/100]
After performing the three moves, he sheathed his sword and stood still.
Shi Zhongyu maintained a steady breathing pattern and his posture remained perfectly composed.
The area around Feng Wanli fell silent instantly.
You'll get it in one go.
Standard posture.
The transport capacity is correct.
With such comprehension, how could he be a stubborn and useless person?
He is clearly a martial arts prodigy, one in a million!
They looked at Feng Wanli again, a hint of envy in their eyes. Their senior brother had actually received such a disciple!
Feng Wanli was equally shaken at this moment.
However, he quickly suppressed his shock and spoke to Shi Zhongyu again.
Compared to his previous tone, this one was slightly more gentle.
"Your comprehension is decent, but comprehension is just comprehension. It only proves that you learn quickly. To truly learn and master something, you must practice diligently!"
"True skill comes from diligent practice."
"From today onwards, that area of the training ground will be where you practice your swordsmanship every day."
"Go practice your sword!"
Shi Zhongyu bowed respectfully.
"Yes."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the sword practice area.
He didn't even look at people like Wang Anzhi around him.
Having entered the realm of swordsmanship, his mind was solely focused on practicing swordsmanship and martial arts.
Geng Wanzhong, who had previously mocked Shi Zhongyu for being foolish, looked at Feng Wanli and exclaimed, "Senior brother! Your disciple's comprehension is truly exceptional!"
"This terrifying comprehension surpasses all of ours; I've never heard of anything like it in the entire martial arts world."
The other person next to him nodded repeatedly.
"How come this kid can do it in one go? As parents, Shi Qing and Min Rou don't understand their own child at all."
Geng Wanzhong suddenly smiled.
"Luckily, I didn't know, otherwise how could I have possibly joined our Snow Mountain Sect?"
Listening to his two junior brothers' words, Feng Wanli felt lucky, but also inexplicably felt pressured.
"Alright, everyone go practice your swordsmanship!"
"Don't let your disciples surpass you in the future!"
"That would be truly shameful!"
Shi Zhongyu was unaware of the discussions his master and several senior uncles had about him.
At this moment, he was verifying the function of the invisible book.
He began practicing the sword techniques explained in the invisible book.
After you have practiced the three moves taught by your master, the invisible book will give you a judgment.
If he practices swordsmanship without distraction and follows the moves explained in the book.
He would then receive the message "[Effective sword moves, proficiency increased]", and each time this happened, he would become more and more familiar with the sword in his hand.
If he is not focused and his sword-fighting posture is incorrect, he will not improve his proficiency.
The book will also indicate that he is not paying attention, has the wrong posture, or is using the wrong force.
After some exploration, Shi Zhongyu gained a basic understanding of the book's effects.
The book can guide him to practice swordsmanship in the correct way and prevent him from going astray.
Each time you finish practicing, your swordsmanship proficiency will improve.
After figuring it out, Shi Zhongyu once again focused intently on practicing the three introductory moves of the Snow Mountain School.
[Effective sword move, swordsmanship proficiency +1]
【efficient……】
Half an hour later, Shi Zhongyu's arm went weak, and his sword strikes were no longer accurate.
[Ineffective sword move, proficiency 0]
【invalid……】
Shi Zhongyu gritted his teeth and tried his best to make his posture as standard as possible.
Effective sword techniques...
After another half hour, Shi Zhongyu decisively put away the iron sword.
At this moment, his chest rose and fell slightly, his cheeks were flushed, and sweat dripped down his jawline from his forehead.
My right arm, which I use to wield the sword, felt slightly numb, and my hand holding the sword felt a little weak.
His legs were aching and trembling, but Shi Zhongyu stood straight.
He wasn't alone; his master, his uncle, and several other people were watching him.
Shi Zhongyu knew that others might think he was useless and incapable of achieving anything because of some rumors.
But he wasn't the original owner.
Shi Zhongyu breathed heavily, feeling his chest almost torn apart, and out of the corner of his eye, he could see the satisfied expression on his master Feng Wanli's face.
Boom!
Suddenly a bell rang, and a hint of suspicion flashed in Shi Zhongyu's eyes. He then noticed that all the disciples practicing swordsmanship around him had stopped.
Just then, Feng Wanli walked over.
"My disciple, it's time for your meal!"
Shi Zhongyu suddenly realized that the bell was a reminder to everyone to have their meal.
"Let's go! Come with me for a meal."
Shi Zhongyu was surprised. He thought he would go with the other disciples, but he didn't expect his master to take him.
"yes!"
He bowed silently in agreement and then followed behind his master.
Shi Zhongyu followed behind his master, but instead began to examine the day's harvest.
Name: Shi Zhongyu
Realm: Beginner (Mortal Realm)
武学：基础吐纳入门（12/100）、基础剑法入门（07/100）、雪山剑法入门（17/100）
Compared to the previous pages, this time there is an additional set of Snow Mountain Sword Techniques.
Shi Zhongyu focused his attention on proficiency.
He practiced swordsmanship for about an hour today, and only reached a proficiency level of 17.
Just as Shi Zhongyu was pondering these things, a coat suddenly appeared on his body.
"What are you thinking about? Why are you spacing out?"
Feng Wanli glanced at Shi Zhongyu.
"Your internal strength is weak, and your yang energy leaks out after practicing swordsmanship, making you susceptible to cold. Wear my coat for now."
Shi Zhongyu felt a warmth in his heart and quickly said, "Thank you, Master!"
Feng Wanli gave a slight "hmm" and continued walking forward, but his voice didn't stop.
"Your swordsmanship is only at the beginner level; you still have a long way to go before you can master it."
"Do you know how long it takes for a disciple of our sect to master this basic sword technique?"
Shi Zhongyu was curious.
"how long?"
"It could take as little as one month, or as long as three months!"
Feng Wanli chuckled as he spoke.
"Therefore, sword practice cannot be rushed!"
Shi Zhongyu silently focused his attention on the proficiency of swordsmanship; after the initial stage, one becomes proficient.
He's only 83 points away from being there.
A month?
