The morning breeze blew, and the leaves rustled. The ancient tree, which had been planted in the courtyard for an unknown number of years, seemed to be watching the young man and woman at its base with great interest.
"Are we discussing the Dao or sparring?" Li Mo asked with a smile, holding his sword.
"Either is fine." Ying Bing's knuckles, holding her sword, turned slightly white.
She just wanted to start quickly. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Li Mo raised an eyebrow slightly.
It seems Ice Cube has made new progress in the Sword Dao, and that's why she came to me for verification?
Then it seems I'll have to get serious too.
"Then let's consider it sparring."
"In that case, let's begin..."
"Wait."
"Hmm?"
Ying Bing gently exhaled, and the Aura she had just condensed stagnated again.
Li Mo chuckled, "Since it's sparring, why don't we add a little wager, like some kind of reward..."
He still remembered.
Once, when Ice Cube taught him sword practice, if he made a single mistake, she would hit his backside!
The torment his buttocks suffered, Xiao Li still remembered vividly!
What I lost, I must personally reclaim!
Xiao Li's competitive spirit also surged.
Reward....
Ying Bing bit her silver teeth lightly.
Right now, she really didn't want to hear those two words!
"Good!"
Her voice and the Frost Sky Sword arrived simultaneously.
As this sword emerged, all sounds ceased, and a domineering Sword Intent enveloped the Autumn Water Pavilion, becoming the sole presence in this small world.
Li Mo's mind trembled slightly.
It was a sword technique he had never seen before.
With his current insight, he could naturally tell that this sword technique was of an extremely high grade!
"Where did Ice Cube learn that?"
Li Mo didn't dwell on the question too much.
He recalled the general principles of Dugu Nine Swords and its Move of Breaking Swords, his body moving with his sword.
But, how should I put it?
This sword technique was still too difficult for him...
"Hmm?"
Ying Bing's delicate brows furrowed slightly.
How did Li Mo's swordsmanship suddenly drop so much?
It was chaotic and disorganized, without any Concept, completely different from yesterday's level.
Clang, clang, clang—
The longswords collided.
Almost instantly, the Chixiao Sword showed signs of decline.
Neither of them used anything beyond sword techniques.
Li Mo, of course, couldn't pull out a hammer to turn the tide, so he could only barely hold on, struggling.
But Xiao Li wasn't being suppressed for nothing.
He could now use Martial Arts Comprehension while attacking.
Martial Arts Comprehension, activate!
【Twenty years of Martial Arts Comprehension successfully injected.】
【Year one, you diligently committed the general principles of Dugu Nine Swords to memory, thoroughly mastering them.】
【Year seven, you discovered that the true Concept you had once seen was the Sword Dao born from the Sword Demon's pursuit of the Dao, the 'One' that escaped, by playing chess with the heavens after defeating all beings, using a mortal body that had never absorbed Origin Qi.】
【Year twelve, you are still confused about this sword technique. You realize that your understanding of the Sword Dao is still too little.】
【Year twenty, you recall the scene of sparring with Ying Bing, and you can't help but feel something, as if a glimmer of inspiration has faintly emerged.】
Xiao Li was in tears.
Twenty years.
Not even a ripple.
This was the result only after his Yi Soul became sensitive after observing the gods and sparring with Ice Cube.
Otherwise, this comprehension would have been completely wasted, just like learning to draw.
"Again!"
Li Mo summarized his recent comprehension.
This time, his swordsmanship became even more chaotic and disorganized.
It was as if he could no longer use any of the superior sword techniques or ultimate skills he had learned before.
Actually.
Even if he could, it would be useless.
Under Ice Cube's majestic and domineering Frost Sky Sword, even the Sun Wheel Sword Classic would be crushed.
Clang—
Clang—
Clang—
Li Mo's hand, holding the Chixiao Sword, felt faintly numb.
This was very frightening!
His Extreme Soldier Slaughtering Body was no joke.
To be able to shock him like this, one could imagine how terrifying Ice Cube's sword was!
Slap—
Suddenly, Xiao Li's sword perimeter was breached.
The Frost Sky Sword reached out and slapped his backside.
Li Mo: "?!"
Families.
It's a bit much, you know.
"Today, let's stop here." Ying Bing calmly withdrew her sword and said.
She had almost familiarized herself with the first Move of the Divine Firmament Heavenly Heart Sword; with a little more refinement, she would have completely mastered it.
Moreover....
She really... really couldn't continue.
That strange feeling hadn't disappeared just because she was seriously practicing her sword.
It was like a maggot attached to the bone... almost causing her domineering sword technique to waver.
"It's not over yet!"
Xiao Li spent another twenty years of Martial Arts Comprehension.
Being hit on the backside again, doesn't Xiao Li need his Face?
If he thought of this unbearable past every time he picked up a sword, how could he be a dashing and handsome swordsman!
He had to get his payback!
Whoosh—
Li Mo raised his sword again, still without any specific method, very disorganized.
"This sword..."
Ying Bing's delicate brows furrowed slightly.
His current sword strikes, at first glance, seemed like a layman wildly flailing.
But something very strange happened.
Despite being utterly without method, he very abruptly found flaws that even she hadn't discovered herself.
Clang—
This sword actually stopped the domineering Frost Sky Sword.
Ying Bing's swordplay was extremely seasoned; she began to change her Move without thinking.
However, with this change of Move.
The weakness of the Frost Sky Sword just happened to hit the tip of the Chixiao Sword again!
It was as if she was actively presenting her weakness.
"This... could it be..."
A thought suddenly arose in Ying Bing's mind.
This seems to be... the taste of approaching the Dao through skill?
Every single sword strike was crude, neither continuous nor a Move, and it couldn't even be called using swordsmanship at all!
But, it just so happened to find her weakest spot...
On the other side.
Li Mo felt that it was indeed almost time.
【Congratulations, Host, thirty years of Martial Arts Comprehension successfully injected!】
【Year one, you analyzed that glimmer of inspiration, integrated it into yourself, and countless sword techniques you had learned in the past surfaced in your mind.】
【Year eight, countless opponents you had fought against, and the process of sparring with them, became clear in your mind. You could even play chess with them in your mind.】
....
【Year thirty, you finally found the method to grasp that 'One'.】
【Thirty years of Martial Arts Comprehension consumed. Your Dugu Nine Swords has reached the introductory level.】
Li Mo's gaze sharpened.
At this moment, he had found the weakness of the slender, fluttering Ying Bing.
Ice Cube had a very fatal flaw!
His mind was now free of external distractions, all his focus was on the sword and that 'One'.
Clang!
The terrifying Sword Intent of the Frost Sky Sword suddenly stagnated.
Ying Bing's neck turned slightly red.
He actually, actually wanted to imitate her!
That spot now... was indeed her biggest weakness.
She suddenly unleashed the second Move of the Divine Firmament Heavenly Heart Sword.
After the Frost Sky's Sword Intent stagnated, it suddenly erupted with all its Sword Intent.
"Let go!"
Ying Bing's eyes seemed calm yet angry.
The sword light completely erupted.
Slap—
The Chixiao Sword did indeed fly out of his hand, along with the Frost Sky Sword.
Normally, this sparring session would have ended. What's the point of two swordsmen sparring without swords?
But, this ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) time was different.
Dugu Nine Swords is not entirely confined to the sword.
Moreover, this sword technique only attacks, never defends; it's all offensive Moves!
Attack is the best defense!
No sword, but we still have hands!
He went straight for that 'One'!
Slap—
This sound.
Was very clear.
Their figures overlapped.
Ying Bing suddenly froze, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
The air seemed to solidify.
Li Mo, seemingly unaware, opened his eyes and chuckled:
"Hehe, I win this time ~"
