A lightning strike transmigrated Zu An into another world. In that world, he was known as the tr*sh of Brightmoon City, but for some reason, he was married to the gorgeous and highly talented daugh...
Zuan's eyes lit up. In his previous battle with Xue'er, he could clearly feel the gap between them. After he was seriously injured, in terms of strength and speed, due to the special effect of the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra, he was not much different from his opponent.
But once the opponent unleashes their combat skills, he can only passively take the beating, just like a bison and a tiger. In terms of sheer strength, the bison might be even stronger, but in the end, it can only become the tiger's meal. Obviously, the bison's strength was not fully utilized, and he is now facing the same problem.
So when they heard that Bai Susu was going to teach them combat skills, they immediately became very attentive.
Bai Susu lifted the hem of her clothes, felt around underneath for a while, and then pulled out a three-foot-long sword. The whole class stared in disbelief. This guy didn't bring a sword when he came in. Where did he hide the sword?
Many people even unconsciously lifted the hem of their clothes and rummaged inside for a while, wondering where such a long thing could be hidden. Uh, could it be hidden there?
A flush of excitement flashed across Bai Susu's fair face: "Alright, the combat technique I'm going to teach you today is called 'Thirteen Forms of Elementary Swordsmanship'."
Zu An almost spat out his drink when he heard this. Upon hearing the name of the combat skills, many impressive-sounding names from the novels he had read in his previous life came to mind. He thought that since Mingyue Academy was so prestigious, it should at least have something like the Dugu Nine Swords or the Six Meridians Divine Sword.
Who knew it would have such a cheap and lame name? Beginner swordsmanship, it sounds incredibly weak!
Clearly, he was not alone in thinking this way, and soon a chorus of boos filled the classroom.
Bai Susu had clearly anticipated their reaction. After they had finished booing, he slowly said, "Don't look down on this set of thirteen basic sword techniques. You should know that these thirteen techniques are the foundation of all sword techniques. You could say that any magical sword technique is evolved from these thirteen techniques."
"Moreover, these thirteen moves have been refined over hundreds of years, achieving perfection and emphasizing the ability to kill enemies with the shortest distance and fastest speed. The world's top experts eventually return to simplicity in their techniques, with each move resembling these thirteen moves."
Hearing him say that, the group perked up and listened attentively to what he had to say.
Bai Susu nodded in satisfaction, raised her orchid finger and held up the sword: "These thirteen moves are 'thrust, chop, point, flick, pick, collapse, intercept, slash, wipe, slice, cloud, hang, parry'. Each move is extremely simple, without any fancy tricks. But although they seem simple, it is quite difficult to master them. Now I will demonstrate these thirteen moves once, and I will teach you each move in detail in later lessons."
Then his demeanor changed instantly, and he no longer had that effeminate, transvestite feel. The sword in his hand instantly transformed into a cold light, and the chilling sword aura made the students in the classroom feel cold all over.
Looking at the figure wielding a sword on the platform, Zu An couldn't help but recall some lines of poetry:
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful woman named Gongsun, whose sword dance moved all four directions.
The onlookers were as numerous as mountains, their faces downcast; heaven and earth seemed to bow low for a long time.
Swift as Yi shooting down nine suns, graceful as emperors riding dragons in flight;
It comes like thunder, then subsides with fury; it departs like the calming light of a still river or sea.
...
Alas, it's a pity he's a man. What a waste of such a handsome face. Otherwise, this would definitely be a picture of a beautiful woman dancing with a sword.
The thirteen moves were quickly demonstrated. Seeing the students' mesmerized expressions, Bai Susu asked with a charming smile, "Wasn't it amazing?"
That's amazing!
"So this beginner swordsmanship is this powerful!"
"I think it looks even better; it'll definitely be a great way to pick up girls."
"Tch, that's because Teacher Bai is good-looking. Don't you have any self-awareness about your own appearance?"
...
Bai Susu took out a small mirror to check if her hair was messy before continuing, "I just talked about the advantages of this sword technique. Now I'll also talk about its disadvantages, so that you won't act rashly and cause any trouble in the future."
"Don't be fooled by how powerful I am with this sword technique. It's because my cultivation is higher than yours, and my speed and strength are sufficient to unleash its full power. Your cultivation is not high enough, so when you use this sword technique, you will create all sorts of obvious flaws. This sword technique is designed to kill the enemy most effectively, so it is correspondingly full of loopholes in defense."
"But you don't need to worry. You are unlikely to face high-level cultivators in the future. This sword technique is quite useful for maintaining order and capturing and dealing with thieves."
"Tch~"
Upon hearing his explanation of the sword technique's shortcomings, the students, who had previously been very enthusiastic, suddenly lost interest. I knew it! What kind of good thing was the combat skill that was taught to our Yellow Class?
Zuan's heart stirred. This set of basic sword techniques had obvious advantages and disadvantages. For ordinary people, it might be a matter of accumulation, but for him, it was very useful. He was not lacking in strength and speed, and he could even summon a strong wind to create a teleportation effect. Coupled with these simple and sharp sword moves, wouldn't it be incredibly powerful?
He couldn't help but think of the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual mentioned in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer. The sword moves were straightforward, emphasizing offense over defense. In the eyes of true masters, it was full of flaws. However, when combined with certain strange movement techniques, this flawed sword technique became the most bizarre and powerful sword technique.
If you are fast enough, those weaknesses will no longer be weaknesses; on the contrary, the power of your attack can be maximized.
Zuan became more and more excited as he thought about it, but then he suddenly realized something, looked down at his little brother, and almost burst into tears. Am I really that good match for the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique?
