Great Swordsman
Ch.43 - Two of the Best Youths

The fight between Xue San and Xue Tong again continued, they exchanged blows up to several tens of times, both of them did not hold back and expended all their strength.

Their high fighting spirit even affected the other youth.

“Attractive technique.”

Xu Feng was slightly interested as the fight became longer, he found that the White Goose Sword Technique achieved an almost perfect balance in two aspects.

“Protectors, you want to learn this technique too?” Xue Song looked at Xu Feng curiously, he noticed Xu Feng's interest in his clan's techniques.

“No, I already have a sword technique.”

Xu Feng shook his head, although interested, he had no intention of learning any other sword techniques other than the Heavenly Sword Technique. Xu Feng felt that he would only be wasting resources, grinding two swordsmanship at once was also not very influential, especially when he had already mastered high-level swordsmanship.

Xue Song was a little disappointed to hear that, he had originally hoped that Xu Feng would be willing to learn it. Given Xu Feng's talent, reaching the master realm and perhaps even the perfect realm of the technique was not an impossible thing, Xue Song hoped when that time came, that it would be impossible, he was able to receive enlightenment from Xu Feng.

However before Xue Song was disappointed even further, Xu Feng suddenly asked about the other techniques that the Xue Clan had.

“Protectors, there are three techniques in the clan, apart from the White Goose Sword Technique, we also have the Body Lightening Technique and Steel Body Technique.”

Xue Song explained that the technique was the only valuable legacy that still survived, and was also the last pillar of Xue Village.

“Hm!?” Xu Feng's eyebrows shot up, he didn't expect the Xue Village would have the famous Body Lightening Technique, it was referred to as one of the best techniques among the many techniques.

Many cultivators had already acknowledged it for its usefulness and practicality, both in fighting and on long journeys.

“If you want, I can take you to see it.”

Ding Xiang understood the expression on Xu Feng's face, he immediately volunteered but accepted the rejection from Xu Feng and said to not have to rush.

On the other hand, the fight between the two youths became increasingly fierce. The strength between Xue San and Xue Tong was balanced, it was almost difficult to know who would win. Xue San was agile like an eel, so slippery in attacking and searching for weak points whereas Xue Tong was as stable as a mountain, no matter what came, everything was stopped just like that.

“Two different characters, they are able to use the White Goose Sword Technique in their respective ways.” Xu Feng judged, he himself acknowledged their prowess and understanding of a technique.

“Xue San, you're as strong as ever.” Xue Tong grinned as they parted ways and took a moment.

“Hahaha Xue Tong, you didn't disappoint either.”

Xue San laughed and returned the praise, he was a typical person who did not particularly like praise, for him it would only be a hindrance someday.

However different from Xue Tong, Xue San's breathing was a little unstable, he seemed to have started to fatigue.

“Luxury movement, but also spend stamina.”

Xu Feng understood the reason for Xue San's exhaustion, that agile movement certainly drained his stamina quickly. Different from Xue Tong which is almost simple, but behind simplicity it contains a practicality and does not waste energy.

“The winner will be determined in a moment.” Said Xu Feng.

Xue Tong on the other hand laughed and started to take initiative in attacking, he immediately approached Xue San and slashed at him from the side. Xue San did not budge, he fearlessly welcomed the incoming attack.

“Now!” Xue Tong's eyes sparkled, he had just caught a crack that Xue San had accidentally made.

In firm conviction, Xue Tong did not let the opportunity go to waste and immediately swung his sword. Xue San had no time to react and could only stare at the Xue Tong sword that was already in front of him.

“I win..”

Xue Tong smiled as his sword was less than an inch from Xue San's neck, he finally managed to balance his winning score that was originally one behind Xue San.

“Hehehe so we balanced again well.” Xue San chuckled softly, this is their eightyth fight, he did not expect that the superiority of his victory would not last.

“Your stamina is getting better.” Xue San let out a light sigh as Xue Tong removed the sword from his neck, there was a strong desire behind his eyes.

Xue Song was very satisfied over the competition between them, he saw the persistence and passion to surpass each other that would bring good things to themselves.

“Excellent appearance, you guys deserve to have the best in the village.”

Xu Feng smiled and walked up to the two young men who immediately caused their faces to redden in joy.

Even though the two of them were only a year younger than Xu Feng, Xue San and Xue Tong instead felt like standing before their former Patriarch, there was a strong pressure and radiance coming from Xu Feng so both of them respected and admired Xu Feng regardless of his age.

“But.” Xu Feng looked at Xue San and started giving him a lecture based on his observations. Xu Feng realized this brat was using too many exaggerated movements that would only overload his body in a fight.

“Rather than wasting your energy, try to simplify it without removing the power behind it.”

Xu Feng then gave him a simple example, he performed various movements that were almost similar to the ones Xue San had done before, but behind all that all the movements underwent a change in Xu Feng's hands.

The agility and agility of Xue San's movements was still there, but there were some points where Xu Feng eliminated or replaced unnecessary movements to refine them.

“See? You should have done it like this.”

Xu Feng performed a simple last slash and created air that blew on Xue San's clothes.

Xue San was astonished, he did not expect his movements to be done in such a manner. Xue Tong on the other hand was envious, he looked at Xu Feng with sparkling eyes and hoped to obtain the same direction.

“Thank you Protector!”

Xue San cupped his hands happily, he tried to imitate the movements Xu Feng made and was immediately startled when he realized what kind of change he was carrying.

Xue San felt like his every move no longer consumed a lot of manpower, each position and the horses and the accuracy of his slash were at the right point so that the power behind it did not disappear even though it had been simplified.

Xue San was inevitably enchanted, he felt that his swordsmanship had risen to a whole new level. He seemed to forget everything around him and fell into a strange state of focus. Xue San continued to repeat every move of Xu Feng and gradually became smoother without the slightest stiffening.

“Hm!?” Xu Feng's eyebrows shot up while Xue Song's mouth was wide open, his eyes going back and forth between Xu Feng and Xue Song.

“Sial! This brat will break through to the elementary realms!” Xue Song cursed inwardly, his eyes widening tremendously as he watched the events that were happening in front of him.
