Eps. 23 — Moon Sword Technique
Jian Chen looked at the tall waterfall and occasionally he saw the girl not far from him playing a sword.
Niu Meily was so good at demonstrating her dancing-like sword technique, a sword she swung so fast but had a smooth movement. It was obvious that the technique he was using was a high sword technique.
‘This girl is not afraid of me stealing her swordsmanship, letting someone see her training way directly?’ Jian Chen looked towards Niu Meily who was practicing.
“Seeing is not enough to make someone master, understand and practice are two different things.”.
Meily noticed Jian Chen's gaze that had been looking at her earlier, she thought that maybe the young man was trying to learn his sword technique.
Jian Chen smiled faintly, the girl clearly misinterpreted his gaze. Jian Chen had even known the sword technique that Meily trained in, the famous and quite famous sword technique of the Niu Clan, the Moon Sword Technique.
The Moon Sword Technique was a high-grade as well as deadly sword technique. The difficulty could not be underestimated, it took him years to learn only one part of the sword technique.
As Meily mentioned, her sword technique could not be imitated just from looking at it. It takes practice every day to understand and practice the technique.
“Nona misunderstood, I was just amazed by your swordplay.” Jian Chen replied calmly. “If I'm not wrong, your technique movement is still not perfect, right?”
Meily was slightly surprised by Jian Chen's words. “You... How do I know I'm not demonstrating this perfectly?”
Jian Chen smiled awkwardly. “Your movement still looks stiff, your breathing is still not perfect. The technique earlier was clearly a breathing sword technique so you couldn't use it properly.”
“So you mean because those two things my sword technique is not perfect?” Meily narrowed her eyes.
“Not that. “Jian Chen shook his head slowly. “Your movement on the technique has also gone wrong, you are in too much of a hurry every time you swing a sword.”
Seriousness was seen on Meily's face, the young man in front of her had indirectly grasped her sword technique. Though he had demonstrated 3 repetitions but the young man could understand them in a short time, Niu Meily could not help her shock.
“You speak as if you have mastered my sword technique?”
“You could say so..” Jian Chan nodded then jumped off the stone he was sitting on, his hand pulling the white sword fangs out. “Maybe Miss thinks I'm bragging but I can prove it directly. After seeing your previous moves maybe I've memorized it.”
If only words continued perhaps the girl would not believe it so Jian Chen immediately demonstrated the Moon Sword Technique that the girl had just done.
After the few moves Jian Chen showed, shock was evident on Meily's face, she covered her mouth with both hands as Jian Chen could actually practice his sword technique.
There was nothing different, Jian Chen's movements were exactly the same as his just that Jian Chen looked more perfect.
Meily had been learning the technique for weeks and the man was able to practice it in one ordeal. In front of her eyes, this was a dream.
As Jian Chen ended his sword technique, his gaze turned to the girl who was now staring at him unblinkingly. Jian Chen smiled awkwardly, he had already guessed this would happen.
One of the Moon Sword Techniques was clearly impossible to do in a single look and experiment. The difficulty is very high, it takes a long time to really be able to do it.
Jian Chen not only imitated the sword technique but performed the technique perfectly, even people who had studied it for a long time were still difficult to perfect it.
Being able to do it alone was something shocking let alone perfect it.
Actually Jian Chen did not master it in one look as Meily felt, precisely Jian Chen had indeed mastered the sword technique in his previous life.
That technique was taught by his teacher, in fact Jian Chen also did not understand why his teacher could master the sword of the Niu Clan. If the teacher steals it, it's a gross violation of the law.
Since the beginning Jian Chen had already mastered the science and the limit he mastered the sword until he learned the Moon Sword Technique.
The Moon Sword Technique was a deep and long technique for his learning, the technique was also branched out and divided into several parts.
Jian Chen knew that the Moon Sword Technique was divided into 3 parts where each part also had its own master.
Three parts of the Moon Sword Technique are the Full Moon Technique which has 7 styles in it, the Half Moon Technique which has 12 styles and the last is the Crescent Moon Technique which has 8 ranks.
According to the Niu Clan, the Moon Sword Technique was only divided into 3 parts but according to his teacher there were 2 more parts namely the Moon God Technique and the Moon Eclipse Technique.
Both styles were unknown to the Niu Clan but the teacher knew better, indicating that the teacher did not steal the technique.
Jian Chen arguably mastered the 5 parts of the Moon Sword Technique and this was the limit he was swording. Unfortunately according to his teacher this sword technique is classified as an intermediate technique when he thinks it is wrong.
It was precisely this technique that was a high sword technique. Jian Chen thus thought that his teacher had a higher sword technique if he felt that this technique was called an intermediate technique.
“How can you master it in one look?” Meily could not help but ask.
Jian Chen scratched his head. “I don't know, I'm just demonstrating what you've done before..” Jian Chen also explained that he often played swords and included swordsmen.
That was all Jian Chen explained because this was indeed beyond reason.
Jian Chen coughed softly to melt the awkward atmosphere, he walked slowly and approached the girl. “According to my observation just now, before learning the technique should Miss learn the basic things first..”.
“Basic, what do you mean?”
“Iya, as it starts from this. You can hold a sword like this so as not to feel the burden of the weight of the sword.” Jian Chen did a simple swing with the grip he showed.
“Is like this..” Niu Meily practices similar. His eyes widened as he felt the sword in his hand much lighter.
Jian Chen nodded, then he explained the flaws in Niu Meily, while the girl listened carefully.
“Now try to do the technique you previously practiced.” Jian Chen had given his input and had the girl make the previous move.
“Full Moon Sword Technique — Two Star Light.”
Niu Meily demonstrated back with a nimble sword swing, her breath held back when using the Moon Sword Technique so it increased rapidly. Although it has not mastered it but this is a significant improvement.
Meily's gaze pointed at Jian Chen, if not for there being a young man he might have taken longer to train.
“Thank you for the input, would you have previously unsheathed a sword to you?” Niu Meily somehow became more respectful.
“No problem, I only help you.” Jian Chen smiled warmly.
The sight of the two met and that was when Meily only realized that Jian Chen had different eyes.
Jian Chen coughed softly as the beautiful girl in front of him stared at him for a very long time, Meily regained her senses and immediately turned her face misbehaving.
