Chapter 6: Family Heirloom



At noon, in the backyard of the Tongqu County government office.

Magistrate Su and Su Yanei stared at each other in the pavilion.

"Father, are you sure you want to teach me swordsmanship?" Su Rui asked with a lot of questions in his mind.

"When my father was young, there was a bandit... nicknamed the Monkey Sword Immortal. At least eight hundred villains died under my sword. Do you think my father can teach you swordsmanship?" County Magistrate Su said lightly.

Although he didn't show it, Suri clearly saw his arrogance.

Although there was no evidence, Su Rui believed that his words were mostly bragging. How murderous must a ruthless person be to kill 800 villains? But County Magistrate Su was very gentle and polite, without any murderous aura at all.

However, he did not dare to question Magistrate Su's words, because he had already drawn out a shining long sword at some point.

"I never knew father was such a murderous swordsman in his youth!" Su Rui pretended to admire him, his eyes full of expectation as he said, "I too want to emulate Li Bai's 'kill one man every ten steps, leave no trace in a thousand miles' saga'. Wouldn't that be wonderful? Please teach me swordsmanship quickly, father!"

"Good boy, can you say Li Bai's 'Kill one person every ten steps, and leave no trace in a thousand miles'? Even your father didn't dare to be so arrogant back then!" County Magistrate Su knocked Su Rui's forehead with his scabbard and scolded him with a smile.

Apparently, he took Suri's ambition as a joke.

Su Rui also realized that he had been a bit boastful. That person was a real person, not a straw. He might not be able to kill 800 chickens. So he hurriedly covered his forehead and admitted his mistake: "Father is teaching me that I was arrogant. From now on, I will try to kill one person every 100 steps..."

Magistrate Su was so choked that he couldn't speak. He thought that it seemed like the child hadn't been beaten for a while!

Then I thought again, after all, he is my biological son, and he just recovered from an illness, so it is easy for him to get sick. I'd better remember him first!

Su Rui didn't know that he was lucky enough to escape a beating from County Magistrate Su.

Magistrate Su glared at him fiercely and said formally, "The sword technique your father is teaching you is called the Ape Sword Technique. It is a unique skill passed down from my ancestors in the Su family."

"Legend has it that one of our ancestors, a man named Pingde, got lost in the mountains one day and encountered a white ape immortal, who taught him this sword technique. Hence the name 'Ape-Fighting Sword Technique.' This sword technique encompasses both body movement and sword techniques. The body movement is ape-like, emphasizing agility and agility, while the sword technique is light, agile, and tricky, focusing on stabbing attacks."

"Next, I will demonstrate the complete sword technique for you. Watch carefully!!!"

After saying that, he jumped up with the sword in his hand, and leaped out of the pavilion like a monkey. Then he jumped up and down, and the sword in his hand was like a white streak, mainly striking, occasionally interspersed with stabbing and lifting sword moves. His speed was faster than lightning, and the murderous aura was like a snowstorm sweeping around.

The old branches, as big as bowls, were struck by the sword and snapped instantly. Even fallen leaves, slashed by the sword energy, could not escape in two!

Su Rui stood by and watched, clearly sensing a chilling murderous aura, icy and dazzling. At this moment, County Magistrate Su truly had the demeanor of a great swordsman. He couldn't help but think to himself, "County Magistrate Su's family heirloom looks impressive. Fortunately, I'm his son, otherwise I wouldn't be able to learn it so easily!"

When Magistrate Su finished demonstrating a set of sword techniques and was about to stop, Su Rui actually felt as if the blizzard and wind had suddenly stopped.

Amidst the broken branches and leaves chopped by the sword, County Magistrate Su calmly sheathed his sword.

"I haven't practiced for a long time, so I'm a little rusty! Second brother, did you see it clearly just now?"

Magistrate Su had a look of aftertaste on his face, but he did not forget to ask Su Rui.

Su Rui nodded, he did see it clearly.

Although his pupils were not open, his vision still retained some eagle-eye motion-capturing capabilities when observed closely, so he could see every move and every detail of Magistrate Su's movements clearly.

"Okay, good!" Magistrate Su's expression clearly showed disbelief, but he didn't seem to care.

He pulled out a roll of yellowed animal skin from his bosom, handed it to Su Rui, and said nonchalantly, "This is the secret method of the Ape Fencing Sword Technique. I will give you three days to memorize it. After three days, I will take the secret method back and test you. If you pass the test, I will formally teach you the sword technique! If you fail the test, it means that you have no chance of learning the Ape Fencing Sword Technique!!"

"Don't worry, father. I will definitely pass the test in three days!" After receiving the mental method and taking a look at it, Su Rui patted his chest and promised.

This mental method only had a few thousand words. In three days, even if he had to memorize it by rote, Su Rui was confident that he could memorize it! Before crossing over, he was also a college student who had made it through the examination-oriented education system. Although he was not a top student, memorizing was his strong point.

Magistrate Su looked at Su Rui, who was full of confidence, and said nothing else. He told him to remember to find Captain Wu at 5 p.m., then he waved his sleeves and returned to the government office.

Su Rui took the Ape Sword-fighting Technique and did not leave the backyard of the government office, but returned to the pavilion and sat down.

After reading through the Ape Sword Technique, he discovered that it needed to be combined with the moves to understand. Therefore, both the moves and the technique were indispensable; it was impossible to steal the sword technique with only one.

After thinking for a while, Su Rui did not rush to recite the sword skills, but silently said in his heart: "Xiaotu~"

After a while.

"Master, are you looking for me?"

Xiaotu appeared with a sleepy voice.

What a surprise!

He just tried it out of habit and never thought that he could really awaken the Dragon Map Bagua.

"Xiao Tu, have you rested well? I have a sword technique that I need you to deduce!"

The naive Xiaotu didn't know how to refuse a boss like Su Rui who exploited the surplus labor of his employees, so he had to agree.

Su Rui's sight was quickly switched to the space where the Dragon Map Bagua was located.
