Just as Fukuda Misa was thinking about how to recruit more experts during the martial arts tournament, Lin Yu and Liu Jingwu had just finished practicing their punches and jumped down from the plum blossom stakes.
The two of them took the towels at the same time and wiped their sweat.
Lin Yu glanced at Liu Jingwu and nodded in satisfaction. "Old Liu is indeed talented. In just half a day, he has solidified his cultivation level, which greatly exceeded my expectations!"
Liu Jingwu quickly waved his hand and said with a wry smile, "Teacher Lin, please don't praise me! If it weren't for you practicing with me and helping me hone my skills, I wouldn't have improved so quickly. I owe you so much!"
Lin Yu nodded, then walked to the center of the courtyard with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Next, it's time to teach you my ultimate technique!"
"A unique skill?" Liu Jingwu's eyes lit up.
Previously, Teacher Lin taught him a set of Pine and Cypress Fist techniques, which enabled him to fight from below and defeat Long Tianqi across borders. I wonder what kind of secret technique he'll teach him this time!
He eagerly stepped forward and asked, "I wonder what kind of boxing style Teacher Lin will be teaching his students this time?"
Lin Yu turned his head, glanced at him, and shook his head, saying, "This time it's not fist techniques, this time it's sword techniques!"
"Swordsmanship?" Liu Jingwu's expression froze.
Then he smiled wryly and said, "Teacher Lin, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and I have never been exposed to swordsmanship. Starting from scratch, I'm afraid..."
Lin Yu shook his head. "The sword I'm referring to isn't a weapon! It's the application of true qi!"
Lin Yu spoke eloquently: "The sword is the king of weapons! When the Qi practitioners of the pre-Qin period invented weapons, they discovered that the sword was the most suitable vessel for carrying true Qi. The earliest method of using the sword was the art of sword control! To put it bluntly, the sword at that time was just a vessel. As long as you have the sword in your heart, even without a sword in your hand, you can still use your true Qi freely and unleash its maximum power!"
Liu Jingwu frowned, seemingly lost in thought, yet not quite understanding. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Then, Teacher Lin, how can you have a sword in your heart?"
Lin Yu said calmly, "It's simple in some ways, and difficult in others! It mainly depends on your comprehension!"
"I'll tell you a mnemonic rhyme, and you must memorize it!"
“When the sword is in hand, it is not a sword; when the sword is in the heart, it is not a sword; when the body becomes a sword, it is not a sword; when the heart and body are empty, it is not a sword!” After Lin Yu finished speaking, he looked at Liu Jingwu indifferently.
After listening, Liu Jingwu frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "Teacher Lin, let me interpret it. Do you think I'm right?"
"A sword held in hand cannot be called a true sword; a sword in one's heart cannot be called a true sword; the body transformed into a sword cannot be called a sword; and even when the mind and body are empty, the sword seen cannot be called a true sword!"
Liu Jingwu has a relatively deep cultural background, and his explanation is basically accurate.
At this moment, however, he was completely stunned, feeling utterly overwhelmed.
With a wry smile, he asked, "Teacher Lin, considering all of the above, none of them can be called a real sword. So when will we finally see a real sword?"
This wasn't just Liu Jingwu's question; all the other disciples were also filled with curiosity, eager to hear Lin Yu reveal the answer.
Lin Yu glanced at everyone, not intending to keep them in suspense, and said directly: "When all swords are annihilated, the heart remains unmoved, and there is no sword in the heart, this is the way of the sword! This way of the sword is called 'Supreme Forgetfulness'! It surpasses the unity of man and sword, and is the supreme way of the sword!"
Liu Jingwu's expression froze, and he couldn't help but mutter, "Only when there is no sword in one's heart can one truly understand the way of the sword?"
If there is no sword in your heart, where does the way of the sword come from?
Teacher Lin's kendo is too advanced; he can't see it!
Lin Yu shook his head and sighed, "True swordsmanship relies on comprehension. I'll demonstrate the most basic level for you. If you can learn three levels, facing Li Qingcang will be no problem at all!"
As Lin Yu spoke, he gently flicked his hand, and a bottle of mineral water on the ground instantly exploded, the water column inside gradually transforming into the shape of a water sword.
At this moment, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and with a light flick of his wrist, whoosh!
The water sword instantly rushed towards the plum blossom stakes, cleaving the stakes in half wherever it passed. Finally, with a bang, the water sword splashed onto the wooden door of the martial arts school and slowly flowed down.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Cut grass in the nest!
How could a bottle of mineral water have such great power?
That's absolutely terrifying!
Lin Yu smiled, ignoring everyone's gazes, patted his sleeves, and swaggered out of the martial arts hall.
Liu Jingwu stood frozen in place, as if he had been dumbfounded. In reality, at this moment, he had entered a state of enlightenment.
A full hour passed before he finally moved.
With a gentle flick of his hand, just like Lin Yu had done before, a bottle of mineral water exploded, coalescing into a water sword that flew fiercely towards the wooden stake.
Whoosh!
The three wooden stakes snapped in unison, and the water sword finally struck the wooden door, destroying it with a deafening crash.
The disciples were taken aback and exclaimed in delight.
"Master is amazing!"
"You've grasped the essence of swordsmanship that Mr. Lin spoke of!"
"In my opinion, he's even more capable than Mr. Lin. Didn't you see how badly Master ruined the door?"
The disciples offered their flattery one after another.
Liu Jingwu shook his head blankly and sighed, "Alas, what do you know! It's precisely because this wooden door wasn't damaged that Teacher Lin's unparalleled swordsmanship, wielded with effortless ease, was so evident!"
"I'm afraid I'll never be able to catch up with Teacher Lin in my lifetime!"
Liu Jingwu shook his head and smiled wryly, but he wasn't discouraged. He continued to pop open mineral water bottles and practice the swordsmanship taught by Lin Yu.
The disciples dared not speak, but silently ran out to fetch bottled water.
While Liu Jingwu was wasting water resources.
