Chapter 205 Kendo Exchange

Li Nuo has already made master's plans for his wife and Yiren.

The two sisters both practiced kendo.

If they have to master ten sword techniques to reach the level of a grandmaster, with their talent and understanding, it may take them a year to learn and master one sword technique.

In this case, it will take them ten years to break through.

At that time, his wife was almost thirty years old, and Li Nuo certainly couldn't wait that long.

What Li Nuo could do was to shorten the time it took them to learn each sword technique.

If one can master one sword technique in a month, then it will only take less than a year to master all ten sword techniques.

Li Nuo can still wait for this period of time.

Of course, these are just examples, and everyone’s situation is different. Some people can become masters by mastering ten or even less sword techniques, while others need more.

In short, they just need to learn from me.

Now, all the pressure fell on Li Nuo.

If he wants to teach his wife and beloved, he must first learn it himself.

Capturing the Grandmaster is of course the most convenient way. Since Li Nuo cannot go find the Grandmaster, let the Grandmaster come to him.

He planned to hold a kendo conference to make friends through swordplay, and invited kendo masters from all major sects in the world, preferably kendo masters, to come to Chang'an to compete in kendo.

Then they were arrested on charges of gang fighting and locked up for one or two days.

Although it may sound a bit unkind, it is indeed the fastest way to learn all kinds of kendo.

After hearing what Li Nuo said, Xu Jing asked in surprise: "Kendo tournament?"

Li Nuo nodded and said, "To be honest, my wife practices swordsmanship. I would like to take this opportunity to let her observe the swordsmanship of various schools. Perhaps she will gain some insights..."

Although he wanted to gather the masters of various sects to hold a kendo conference, how could the masters pay attention to a nobody like him?

But this Senior Xu is different.

Not only is he a master of swordsmanship, but the Tianshan Sword School is also one of the most famous sects in the world. It is most appropriate to hold this conference in his name.

Li Nuo added: "Of course, I will not let you come for nothing. I will give each of you a thousand taels of silver for your travel expenses. In addition, I will give you an extra five thousand taels of silver as a thank you..."

Xu Jing fell into deep thought.

He does have many master friends, and they would discuss kendo together every once in a while, one for communication, and the other for learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses.

Money is secondary. If you can become a martial arts master, you will not be short of money.

After the matter of the secret book was resolved, he originally wanted to go back to Tianshan Sect directly, but this would delay him by a lot of time.

But the other person had just helped him and had broken the court rules for it. He had just said yesterday that he would go through fire and water for it, but today someone made such a small request and he refused. As a master, he felt a little embarrassed.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "There's no need for money. I was planning to invite a few friends to exchange swordsmanship at Tianshan Sect in a month. Since you said so, I will choose Chang'an as the venue..."

Li Nuo showed joy on his face and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, senior."

Xu Jing said: "You're welcome. For me, this is just a matter of a few invitations. However, I don't have that much face. At most, I invited a few old friends here. It can only be regarded as a sword exchange, not a big meeting..."

Li Nuo nodded and said, "Thank you very much, Senior Xu."

If you can invite a few masters first, do so and learn these sword techniques first.

After my wife and my beloved have learned all these, we will think of other ways.

Xu Jing asked, "Is there any paper and pen here?"

Li Nuo said: "I'll go get it right away."

Xu Jing immediately wrote a few letters, handed them to Li Nuo, and said, "Sir, please have someone deliver these letters."

The grandmaster indeed has his own circle of grandmasters. These letters were sent to the Five Mountains Sword Sects respectively, inviting the five grandmasters to come to Chang'an to exchange swordsmanship.

Li Nuo looked at the words on the envelope and said, "Senior Xu's handwriting is really good."

Xu Jing had two things to be proud of in his life.

One is swordsmanship.

The second is calligraphy.

When others praised his superb swordsmanship, Xu Jing didn't feel anything. He was used to hearing such words.

But if someone praised his calligraphy, he would feel very proud.

He looked at Li Nuo and asked, "You also know calligraphy?"

Li Nuo smiled and said, "I know a little bit. Senior Xu's regular script is unique, and there is a hint of sword in the characters. He is indeed a master of swordsmanship. He can even integrate swordsmanship into calligraphy..."

He could even see this. Xu Jing was very surprised. He stroked his long beard and said, "It seems that you are also a good book lover. Why don't we discuss it?"

Li Nuo said: "Okay..."

After a moment, Xu Jing looked at the words on the two pieces of paper, his old face flushed with shame.

Although he said he was discussing, he actually had the intention of giving advice.

The young man helped him and gave him some pointers on his calligraphy as a way of repaying the favor.

It was not until the other person started writing that he realized that in terms of calligraphy, the two of them were not at the same level at all. Compared with the other person, his handwriting was like that of a naughty child compared to an adult.

Fortunately, he didn't say too much just now. At this moment, he blushed and said: "Young Master's calligraphy is far inferior to mine. If there is anything wrong with my calligraphy, please feel free to enlighten me..."

Li Nuo instructed him for a while and let him practice on his own first.

He handed the letters to Butler Wu and asked him to send them out as soon as possible through the Mingjingsi channels.

The Mingjing Division has bases in every state of Daxia, and the speed of communication between them is extremely fast.

These letters can be delivered to where they should be in three days at most.

…

Huashan.

The peaks are steep and the rocks are jagged.

Mount Hua is a steep mountain known for its danger and few people dare to climb it.

Of course, for a warrior who can fly, no matter how dangerous the mountain is, it is no different from a flat ground.

Huashan Sword Sect, a first-rate sect in the martial arts world, is located on the top of Huashan Mountain. Within the sect, there are three grandmasters, which enables it to be ranked among the first-rate sects in the martial arts world.

The top of a dangerous peak.

An old man with an immortal look was playing chess with someone. At a certain moment, a figure came from the air, holding a letter in his hand, and said respectfully: "Master, this is a letter from Senior Xu of the Tianshan Sect."

The old man raised his hand slightly, and the letter flew into his hands.

He opened the letter, read it, and said in surprise: "The location of the sword exchange has been changed to Chang'an. Chang'an is also good. It saves us from traveling thousands of miles."

Huashan Mountain is thousands of miles away from Tianshan Mountain.

But the distance from Huashan to Chang'an is only three hundred miles, and it can be reached in an hour at most.

Another old man opposite him asked, "What communication?"

The old man with a sage-like demeanor smiled and said, "A few of us old friends have agreed to get together every six months to exchange swordsmanship. This time, the venue is set in Chang'an. If you are interested, you can go together..."

The old man smiled and said, "I have nothing to do, so I can join in the fun."

Hengshan Mountain.

A figure carrying a sword put down the letter. The giant sword behind him hummed, soared into the sky, and then floated in the void in front of him.

The old man leaped up onto the giant sword, and his figure quickly disappeared among the clouds.

Within three days, several major martial arts sects, including Songshan, Hengshan, and Taishan, all received letters from Chang'an.

…

The Five Mountains Sword Sects are located at different distances from Chang'an.

The nearest Mount Hua is only three hundred miles away.

The farthest mountain, Hengshan, is nearly two thousand miles away.

However, such a distance is nothing to the Grandmaster.

The biggest difference between them and those in the fourth realm is that the true Qi in their bodies is extremely vast and can support long-term flying in the air or flying with a sword. During this process, the speed at which the true Qi is consumed cannot even keep up with the speed of recovery.

In order to appear less abrupt, Senior Xu deliberately left more time and scheduled the exchange at the end of April.

April twenty-seventh.

At the entrance of Qujiang Garden.

An old man looked at Xu Jing and said in surprise: "Mr. Xu, you are not in the wrong place, are you? This is the royal garden. Are you sure we can enter here?"

Xu Jing smiled and said, "Don't worry, after the exchange, we can go to the garden to enjoy the scenery, isn't it beautiful?"

The old man was amazed that the Tianshan Sword Sect had really made great progress and could even borrow the royal gardens.

Xu Jing looked at the person next to the old man and asked, "Who is this..."

The elder of Huashan Sect introduced: "Let me introduce you to Brother Zhou from the Cangjian Villa of Chu State. He came here this time and wanted to exchange sword skills with you..."

The old man smiled and said, "I, Zhou, have come here uninvited. I hope Brother Xu will not be offended."

Xu Jing bowed and said, "No, no, the others have already arrived. Please come in."

In the past, everyone communicated in their respective sects, but this was the first time in the royal garden.

As expected of a royal place, this garden has mountains and water, and the scenery is tranquil. It is a rare quiet place in the bustling city. Walking in the garden is refreshing.

The few of them chose the lake as the place for their communication.

The two of them were suspended in mid-air above the lake, and after two sword sounds, they drew their swords at the same time.

The communication between the masters is limited to discussing moves. It is not a fight to the death, and they will not infuse true energy into the sword.

This was a true sword fight, representing the pinnacle of swordsmanship.

In a small building by the lake, in front of the second-floor window, Song Jiaren and Song Yiren watched the competition between the masters intently.

In the small pavilion in the middle of the lake, several figures were watching and commenting.

"Xu Jing's Tianshan Swordsmanship has two more changes than the last time. The founder of the Tianshan Sword School is truly a genius. He only has 72 swordsmanship styles, but they contain infinite changes. With constant practice, he can always learn new things. This set of swordsmanship has produced countless masters for the Tianshan School..."

"I heard that Yue Yang got an ancient sword technique in a cave. It's quite powerful. It seems to be called the Nine Swords. I wonder if I'll have a chance to see it today... These moves are obviously not the Huashan sword technique. It really has some tricks. Xu Jing is going to lose!"

Just as everyone was watching the competition on the water intently.

A patrolling imperial guard came hurriedly to the lakeside. The leader pointed at the lake and shouted, "Who are you? Who told you to fight in Qujiang Garden..."
