Chapter 13 Analysis!
About 15 minutes later.
Zhong Yuan slowly opened his eyes and saw Huo Tianjiao looking at him with a very curious gaze.
It seemed like I had only just met him.
Zhong Yuan raised his hand and touched his face.
"Is there anything on my face?"
Huo Tianjiao crossed her arms, the curiosity in her eyes still lingering.
"That sword strike just now."
"How did you do that?"
Zhong Yuan raised an eyebrow.
"You mean, the [Return to Origin Style] that released sword energy in that one sword strike?"
Huo Tianjiao stared intently at Zhong Yuan.
"certainly!"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Yuan immediately realized that Huo Tianjiao must have sensed something unusual about that sword strike, the "Return to Origin Style."
Right.
I am just a novice who has only been practicing swordsmanship for a little over ten days.
However, when he first used the Great Nine Heavens Sword, he was able to pierce through the White Rainbow Sword with sword energy.
It would be strange if Huo Tianjiao wasn't surprised.
Just now, while he was circulating his internal energy to regulate his breathing and restore his true qi, he was also carefully recalling and reviewing how he had thrust out that sword.
Seeing that Zhong Yuan remained silent, Huo Tianjiao continued, "If there were a genius in swordsmanship in this world, who could master all the basic sword techniques in a single day, as if they had been tempered a thousand times?"
"I do believe it. After all, some people's memory and sensitivity to swordsmanship are many times higher than that of ordinary people."
"The moves of swordsmanship in the world, when you talk about them, are nothing more than basic moves such as thrusting, chopping, pointing, flicking, picking, collapsing, intercepting, slashing, wiping, cutting, clouding, hanging, parrying, pressing, drawing, and carrying."
"The reason I say that Tang Poetry Swordplay is just an ordinary swordplay in the Central Plains of the martial arts world is because although Tang Poetry Swordplay uses Tang poems as its moves."
"Each move seems to be derived from a poem, and it already possesses the essence of swordsmanship."
"But in reality, it is not very difficult to practice, because the basic moves of Tang Poetry Swordplay only have nine basic moves: thrust, chop, flick, strike, stab, point, collide, press, and slice."
"In other words, these nine sword techniques, through combinations and variations, become the 108-style Tang Poetry Swordplay!"
"Moreover, you are a scholar, so you must already be very familiar with the artistic conception of Tang poetry."
"Mastering the Tang Poetry Sword Technique is a piece of cake. Within ten days, one can perfectly integrate the artistic conception and moves of the Tang Poetry Sword Technique."
"I don't think there's any problem with that."
"However, the Great Nine Heavens Sword Technique is different from the Tang Poetry Sword Technique."
"The Great Nine Heavens Sword Technique has twenty-one basic sword forms alone!"
"After combining these twenty-one variations, they are condensed into nine sword moves, and each sword move contains no less than three variations."
"Most importantly, that sword strike, the 'Return to Origin Style,' contains nine hidden variations within its moves."
"Moreover, just now, I did not teach you the sword techniques and sword stance of the Great Nine Heavens Sword. It is understandable that you could see through the sword stance from the sword moves."
"But you actually unleashed a sword aura without knowing the sword technique. Do you know what that means?"
Huo Tianjiao looked at Zhong Yuan, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
Zhong Yuan shook his head.
All he knew was that this must be due to his innate sword meridian.
But how could this matter be discussed with Huo Tianjiao?
"Please enlighten me, young lady!"
Zhong Yuan knew that at this time, it was a very rare thing to receive guidance from a martial arts master like Huo Tianjiao, who was on par with the leader of the Ming Cult.
Therefore, he was naturally very humble.
Huo Tianjiao said slowly, "This means that you must have a talent."
"A talent that allows the internal energy to spontaneously merge into one through sword techniques alone."
"To be honest, I have never seen such talent in my journey from Persia to the Western Regions and the Central Plains."
"Because all the vital energy in the human body must pass through major acupoints and meridians, but these acupoints and meridians are not naturally unobstructed."
"That takes time; it can be achieved through cultivation."
"If you can master one or two out of the 108 acupoints in the human body, that's already considered quite good."
"Even the top martial arts masters can probably only open up about seventy-two channels at most."
"Of course, that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that many people spend their entire lives without being able to open up their Ren and Du meridians and cross the threshold."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
Sure enough, the extraordinary abilities he displayed in front of a martial arts master like Huo Tianjiao were pretty much predictable.
Huo Tianjiao continued, "In order to complete the Small Heavenly Circuit, all internal energy originates from the Dantian, descends along the Ren Meridian to the Huiyin point, ascends along the Du Meridian to the Baihui point, and finally returns to the Dantian, forming a complete cycle."
"If the Ren and Du meridians are blocked, and the major acupoints are obstructed, the effect of completing the Small Heavenly Circuit will be greatly reduced."
"The slower the circulation of Qi, the slower the cultivation of internal energy."
"In short, it means that ordinary people cannot unleash sword energy at all when practicing swordsmanship."
"It's entirely because their acupoints and meridians are blocked."
But you are different!
"If you truly possess a talent that allows you to spontaneously merge your internal energy into a single, unleashed force through sword techniques!"
"This at least means that... all 108 acupoints in your body, at least 36 of which are commonly used in the circulation of Qi, and the Ren and Du meridians are naturally open and unobstructed!"
"If that's the case... then it means... no matter what kind of internal energy you cultivate, you won't experience blocked meridians or even qi deviation."
"As long as you circulate your internal energy through the body, you can complete the most complete circulation of internal energy within your body, and the speed at which internal energy is generated will far exceed that of ordinary people!"
"One day of your internal energy cultivation is equivalent to at least one month of other people's efforts."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Yuan suddenly understood and instantly realized the power of the innate sword vein.
"In other words, as long as my internal energy is sufficient, I can become a martial arts master of this era without any obstacles!"
Zhong Yuan stroked his chin and spoke slowly.
Huo Tianjiao nodded. Even someone as worldly-wise as her was utterly shocked by this answer.
There are actually people in this world who are born with interconnected meridians!
This is simply unheard of!
This guy... how lucky he is.
She was already considered a martial arts genius, but at only twenty-four years old, she was just one step away from opening up her Ren and Du meridians.
But compared to this guy...
What kind of genius am I then!
She finally understood the old saying from the Central Plains: "Comparison is the thief of joy."
now.
Zhong Yuan sat there, feeling extremely happy.
Good guy.
He knew that the innate sword vein was powerful, but after Huo Tianjiao's analysis, he realized just how powerful it was.
Because when he used the [Return to Origin] move just now, he clearly felt that the true energy in his body seemed to have become one with the white rainbow sword in his hand.
When the true energy flows out, there is no obstruction whatsoever.
Moreover, Huo Tianjiao was unaware that as long as he practiced sword techniques in his mind, his internal energy would automatically circulate.
The joy of cheating is something only he can enjoy.
