The King of the Sword King
The Nine Steps Sword Without a Match (ii)

...ARC 8.3-PL. THE SWORD GOD OF THE SILVER CONTINENT...

   Sima Yong completed the training and understanding of the fourth step, much longer than the third step. Three months to be exact. It was the time he spent comprehending two hundred and twenty-five (225) sword moves and changes, which were complex and always revolved up to a 225 degree angle.

   Passing the third month when Sima Yong finished his fourth step training, Hermit Yamazaki Takejiro when it opened both of his eyes, smiled faintly and said,

"I see your technique and understanding of the Unmanifested Sword Element getting better. There was no leaf swaying anything else to shred" The Hermit Yamazaki's hand made a seal-like gesture on the chest. He continued his sentence..

"Furthermore, for the fifth step training of this series of Nine Unparalleled Sword Steps, you can practice using this thing"

   Suddenly in the hands of the Yamazaki Hermit who formed the seal earlier appeared a branch of the Lanhua Forest Flower, which was still fresh looking like it had just been picked up.

The Lanhua (Flower) flower is dark purple.complete with light-colored bottles, which have long stalks along two half-snakes. And strangely enough, the flower stalk looked weaker and fragile.

   Like the stalk of Orchid Flower in general, it is certain that the stalk of Lanhua Flower that the hermit is thrust must be lackluster - soft and easily broken.

Sima Yong thought, maybe in just one sword technique move that he would execute, that stalk of Lanhua Flower would break, shatter into pieces. Not to mention the flower buds for the sake of orchids that are usually very fragile and easily separated from the group.

"I-this.. are you sure to train me in sword techniques using this fragile Lanhua flower?" sima Yong asked for the reassurance of Yamazaki Hermit. Perhaps the hermit misdirected his inner guidance.

   But instead of getting a satisfactory answer as expected, there was even a Yamazaki Hermit who was silent and immediately demonstrated a hundred and eighty mixed sword movements, which were circling with complicated changes.

"With these 180 sword moves, all the opponents who use fist techniques or bare-handed martial arts of any kind in the face of this world, are, it will be subjugated with one hundred and eighty sword moves this fifth step" said the Hermit Yamazaki.

   After he demonstrated all these movements, the hermit asked him if he should repeat all the techniques and movements of the fifth step because the higher each step, the more complicated and more difficult it was to understand.

Sima Yong in this case is humble and does not want to hurt the feelings of the hermit. Her word..

"Although I have a very strong memory, but I must admit that this Nine Steps Sword movement and change technique is very complicated.

   Please Senior Hermit Yamazaki repeat once more, for me to completely memorize and understand all the changes of the hundred and eighty moves impeccably"

***

Time passed like smoke. Sima Yong also passed through the training days quickly, not feeling the time that kept flowing.

   Currently Sima Yong had ended his fifth step training with a time of four months.

With the precautionary principle and the basic essence of the comprehension of the Unmanifested Sword Element, Sima Yong had deepened his understanding of the principles of the formless sword move.

Although at the beginning of his training, he often made a tear for the sake of the Lanhua flower buds. Even all the movements of his sword made the watery lanhua flower stems often broken. If that happens, then the new flower must be replaced, where the Hermit Yamazaki allows it to come out of the ruins, and look for new Lanhua flowers on the edge of the forest.

Long time practicing using a flower sprig, now everything changes. The youngster looked like a flamboyant man who danced using a fresh Lanhua flower in his right hand.

He performed complex sword movements that, although seemingly mediocre, were actually the ultimate technique of all sword techniques ever.

Sima Yong spent five months to complete this fifth step technique.

   Back Hermit Yamazaki opened his eyes and looked satisfied. The Yamazaki ascetic continued his teaching by teaching Sima Yong the sixth of a series of nine deadly steps.

"The "sixth step was a series of strange sword techniques, which were fickle and varied in one hundred and thirty-five (135) movements and changes.

Soon Sima Yong is seen beginning to demonstrate the sixth technique, under the supervision of the hermit.

  Sima Yong spent four months completing his special sixth step training to fight practitioners who had a cultivation realm two levels above him - one whose energy or battle power was sourced from Dark Cultivation's.

   Despite entering the complicated sixth step, Hermit Yamazaki did not give Sima Yong permission to change weapons in his training. He was still asked to use a sprig of Lanhua.

   On the sidelines of that training, Sima Yong had inexhaustibly comprehended and studied the Timeless Cycle Knowledge Guidelines and Truth, and he had currently reached the bottle neck in the field of soul power.

   The seventh step was a sword technique that had ninety (90) sword moves along with its changes, where this seventh step technique was a technique used against practitioners or martial experts who used Qi energy or wore high Pure Eve in battle. Generally the tolerance limit that can be opposed is a maximum of two levels of cultivation realm above the cultivation of the user.

Up next..

   The eighth step is forty-five (45) sword movements along with their changes, with progressively more complicated and swirling changes.

"This eighth Sword Step will conquer an expert who uses magic, even if it is as strong as his skill and soul power rank" explained Hermit Yamazaki Takejiro.

"Magic is the wildest energy of all, and the use of this magic is very sensitive to most people.

   However by using the eighth Sword Step, all of the opponent's magic energy ability to create the illusion of a loan (the loan illusion is the act of manipulation makes a temporary illusion) to become that reality - all the practitioners of magic energy users it will bend their knees and not have the effect at all" said Yamazaki Takejiro at the time.

   Despite having learned the eighth step, Sima Yong was still not allowed by the hermit to use the new weapon.

"Your understanding as well as your ability to gather something intangible becomes tangible, still very weak.

   I don't think that you are ready to practice this Nine Steps Sword, without using a sword at all" he said. The Yamazaki ascetic continued his advice, which made Sima Yong more alert and disengaged his intention to practice this technique without using anything.

***

"The ninth or final sword move of this series of Unmanifested Swords, is a death move" Yamazaki Hermit said.

"What do you mean Senior Yamazaki?" asked Sima Yong in surprise.

"The last step of this series is called the death step, because the ultimate movement or the will to die together with the opponent, which really cannot be resisted" said the hermit. The next..

"When you are faced with someone who may even have a cultivation resembling the gods or the judges of the palace of the Sky, the,

   This ninth step can trigger an unexpected force that will make your opponent die, but in this case you will also die with him" 

"Therefore I suggest that you do not use this ninth step, but there really is no way out at all. Using this ultimate technique, even all of your spirits will vanish and never be able to reincarnate again forever. 

   Therefore as much as possible and do not let you use this ninth step" said Hermit Yamazaki, when he saw the young man shuddering in horror. 

   The Yamazaki ascetic demonstrated the ninth step movement consisting of only three movements and three changes. However, Sima Yong felt that learning this ninth step was the most difficult and most complicated of all the steps he had learned.

   The Yamazaki ascetic still did not allow the young man to change weapons, or to apply his bare hands without a sword in the ninth step of training.
