Chapter 891: Your Swordsmanship Has a Big Problem (Nine Updates, Please Subscribe and Vote)
The most difficult part of the Three Immortal Swords is that they have three forces in one sword, which is both hard and soft, extremely hard and extremely soft, with three different methods and artistic conception of using force: hard, soft and combined.
Only by skillfully combining the three kinds of strength and artistic conception can one use the Three Immortal Swords well. If they are not used properly, not only will one fail to achieve the effect of defeating the enemy, but one will also end up with a worse result than the intended result. Forget about hurting the enemy, it would be good enough if one does not get hurt.
Uesugi Nao practiced the Three Immortal Swords for such a long time before she was able to master them. How could someone who had never seen the Three Immortal Swords teach her?
Uesugi Nao demonstrated this sword technique to embarrass Zhou Wen and let him know who was truly too weak.
Because no one has ever seen the Three Immortal Swords, Uesugi Nao is not afraid of being recognized by others.
Zhou Wen didn't know that Uesugi Nao had so many ideas. He just thought that Uesugi Nao was really asking him for advice, so he looked very carefully, looking for anything wrong with the Three Immortal Swords.
Soon, Uesugi Nao demonstrated the Three Immortal Swords, then looked at Zhou Wen, smiled slightly and asked, "Do you need me to demonstrate it again?"
"Okay." Zhou Wen nodded.
Uesugi Nao smiled and demonstrated the sword technique again, but she thought to herself, "Don't even think about demonstrating it again. Even if I demonstrate it ten or a hundred times, you won't be able to understand it."
Different from those straightforward and domineering sword techniques, the Three Immortal Swords mainly focus on the application of strength and artistic conception. These inner things cannot be understood just by looking at the sword moves.
Uesugi Nao has made up her mind. After this one time, she will ask Zhou Wen if he wants to demonstrate again. If Zhou Wen overestimates his ability and wants to watch it a third time, then after the third time, she will directly ask Zhou Wen if he sees any problems.
"If you know what's good for you, you would admit earlier that you can't see anything, so it wouldn't be so embarrassing." Uesugi Nao said to herself.
Soon, Uesugi Nao demonstrated the Three Immortal Swords again. After stopping, she held the practice sword, looked at Zhou Wen with a smile and asked, "Do you want me to demonstrate it again?"
"No need." Zhou Wen shook his head.
Uesugi Nao thought to herself, "You still have some self-awareness. If I were to demonstrate it a third time and nothing worked for me, that would be even more embarrassing."
Uesugi Nao looked at Zhou Wen with a smile, waiting for Zhou Wen to bow his head to her and admit that he could not see anything.
"There is indeed a big problem with your swordsmanship." But as soon as Zhou Wen opened his mouth, Uesugi Nao was stunned.
"Oh, tell me, what's the problem with my swordsmanship?" Uesugi Nao looked at Zhou Wen with a smile, she thought Zhou Wen was just being stubborn.
In Uesugi Nao's opinion, Zhou Wen's behavior would only make him more embarrassed.
"There is a serious problem with your swordsmanship. The swordsmanship you are practicing is incomplete." Zhou Wen said.
"The swordsmanship I've practiced is actually incomplete?" Uesugi Nao feigned surprise, but inwardly she sneered, "Incomplete, you idiot? The Three Immortal Swordsmanship is complete and flawless, and I've already mastered it. How dare you claim it's incomplete? You're making it up, and I wonder what else you can come up with."
"Yes, the sword technique is indeed incomplete. It may also be that when you were practicing, you were unable to understand the original intention of the sword technique, and were unable to draw inferences from one example and comprehend the true meaning of this sword technique." Zhou Wen said.
"So that's how it is. Then can you tell me what the true meaning of this sword technique is?" Uesugi Nao looked at Zhou Wen and said jokingly.
She has already practiced the Three Immortal Swords to the point where she can use them backwards, but Zhou Wen actually said that she didn't get the true meaning. Uesugi Nao now just wants to know what Zhou Wen is going to do next.
"Give me the sword." Zhou Wen stretched out his hand in front of Uesugi Nao.
Uesugi Nao handed the practice sword to Zhou Wen, then stood aside with her arms folded, waiting to watch Zhou Wen's clumsy performance. She was now a little curious and wanted to know how Zhou Wen would make up for such an outrageous statement.
Zhou Wen asked Ya'er to stand by while he walked to the center of the practice field, holding his practice sword. He said, "Your sword technique utilizes three kinds of strength and artistic conception. You have already used them very well, but your method is wrong, so you can only stay at this stage and cannot progress further and practice a complete sword technique."
"Zhou Wen is not completely without vision, as he can see that the Three Immortal Swords are a combination of three kinds of strength and artistic conception." Uesugi Nao thought to herself.
However, Zhou Wen's attitude still annoyed her, so she asked with a half-smile, "Then how can we take it a step further and master the complete sword technique?"
"That's not difficult." Zhou Wen moved the practice sword in his hand, and the sword moves he swung out were actually Uesugi Nao's Three Immortal Swords.
Uesugi Nao was quite surprised to see that Zhou Wen could actually use the sword moves of the Three Immortal Swords. Although he only used one kind of strength, he was able to produce the corresponding sword intent. She couldn't help but look up to Zhou Wen a little.
"This is the first kind of power and artistic conception of swordsmanship." Zhou Wen said, and used another move, which was the Three Immortal Sword move used by Uesugi Nao. This time, Zhou Wen's sword move actually contained both hard and soft power and artistic conception.
At this moment, Uesugi Nao was a little surprised. Being able to display both hard and soft power in one sword took her nearly a month of practice.
"According to Taoism, the so-called one gives birth to two, which can be seen as chaos giving birth to yin and yang, or the distinction between hardness and softness." Zhou Wen spoke as he drew his sword, still using the Three Immortal Swords, but this time, all three forces were released simultaneously.
Uesugi Nao stared at Zhou Wen with wide eyes, feeling a little bit unbelievable, and secretly doubted in her heart: "Could it be that Zhou Wen has also practiced the Three Immortal Sword Technique before? This is impossible. The Three Immortal Sword Technique was engraved on the stone wall of the Three Caves of Immortals. After I saw it, the stone wall had been destroyed. How could Zhou Wen have learned the Three Immortal Sword Technique?"
"One begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things. Your swordsmanship stops at three and does not expand further, just like the basic three primary colors of red, green, and blue. You will use the original colors of the three primary colors, but after matching the three primary colors, you can form more colorful colors, forming a colorful world. I don't know if your swordsmanship is due to a lack or because you have not realized the true meaning of swordsmanship, it has stopped at the realm of three primary colors, and has not been able to show the true meaning of the world of swords..." Zhou Wen said as he demonstrated, while Uesugi Nao on the other side was stunned, her face full of shock and disbelief.
Four kinds... five kinds... six kinds... Uesugi Nao only saw that the types of sword intent in Zhou Wen's swordsmanship were increasing, but they were combined together in a very harmonious way, as if the Three Immortals Swordsmanship was supposed to be like this.
At first glance, what Zhou Wen said seemed to make sense, but Uesugi Nao felt deeply helpless. Even if she understood this principle, she did not have so much sword intent that she could combine it at will.
