Chen Zhou was completely immersed in his own world, undisturbed by anything outside.
Old Ren's mouth was so big that his chin completely fell to the ground, and his face was full of shock.
This kid's performance was incredibly shocking. The Realm of Freedom is not a realm that everyone can enter. It is a magical realm that can only be entered when one's swordsmanship has reached a certain level and one has practiced swordsmanship to the point of selflessness. Generally, only some grandmasters of swordsmanship can enter the Realm of Freedom.
Chen Zhou's entry into the state of freedom was completely unexpected by Elder Ren. You must know that Chen Zhou has only just begun practicing the Freedom Sword. Although the Freedom Sword has its own unique characteristics that test the swordsman's heart even more, making it easier to enter the state of freedom.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh...whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Chen Zhou continued to wield the Heavy Edge Sword. At this moment, Chen Zhou felt completely one with the Heavy Edge Sword. He poured his true energy into the Heavy Edge Sword and could intimately feel its vibrations, even experiencing a hint of joy.
Chen Zhou didn't know how long he had been cultivating. Now, the sword energy around Chen Zhou had reached a visible level. Although it was still white, the white sword energy had become sharper and more abundant. Whenever Chen Zhou took out the Heavy Edge Sword, he would feel as if he had become one with the Heavy Edge Sword.
"Your sword energy still needs improvement, but you've basically mastered the Free Sword Technique," Elder Ren praised.
At this moment, Chen Zhou had already broken free from the so-called state of freedom. Upon hearing Elder Ren's words, Chen Zhou silently nodded in his heart.
Chen Zhou was naturally aware of his own problems; his sword energy did indeed need improvement, but he was already quite satisfied with the current level.
Next, we will learn the first move, the Cloud Piercing Sword.
After learning the Free and Easy Sword Technique, practicing the Cloud Piercing Sword Technique will be much easier, because Chen Zhou already has a lot of sword energy around him. This considerable amount of sword energy will be of great use to Chen Zhou in learning the Cloud Piercing Sword Technique.
Because the Cloud Piercing Sword is a move that utilizes sword energy.
If Chen Zhou's sword energy is abundant and powerful, then the power of the Cloud Piercing Sword will be even greater.
Although Chen Zhou's sword energy is currently insufficient to fully utilize the Cloud Piercing Sword, it is still extremely useful for his practice.
"With your current sword energy strength, you can at most learn the Cloud Piercing Sword. If you want to fully unleash its power, your sword energy is far from reaching that level," Elder Ren said.
“I know that sword energy must be developed step by step. I understand the saying that you can’t bite off more than you can chew. Right now, I just need to learn the Cloud Piercing Sword move, and then my sword energy will grow and improve even more in the future.” Chen Zhou said, and then started making movements again.
Just then, Chen Zhou looked down and saw the flat ground beneath his feet. He had been so focused on practicing his sword that he hadn't even noticed the ground beneath his feet had collapsed. The ground in the Black Mist Swamp wasn't very solid to begin with, and Chen Zhou's sword practice placed great demands on his lower body, requiring a stable stance. Every powerful swing of his sword required a high level of stability from his lower body.
Therefore, Chen Zhou used a lot of force with his lower body, which caused the flat ground he stepped on to collapse. Now, this place is vaguely turning from flat ground into a swamp.
"This place is no longer suitable for practicing swordsmanship; we need to find another spot." Chen Zhou had no choice but to stop what he was doing, his eyes darting around as he tried to find a more suitable place.
However, there was no better flat land around. This Black Mist Swamp was a swamp, and it was already very rare to find a flat land. Now, Chen Zhou had trampled it to pieces. If they really wanted to find flat land, they would have to go back to the flat land where the castle was.
If that were the case, he would have to practice his sword in front of Zhu Yuande, and Chen Zhou absolutely did not want to practice his sword in front of him, so he would never choose to go back.
"I have a good place that will definitely benefit your sword practice," Elder Ren said at this moment.
Chen Zhou immediately asked, puzzled, "Where? Tell me quickly!"
"Don't rush, things can't be rushed. This is a good place, up in the tree," Elder Ren said slowly.
In the tree?
A question popped into Chen Zhou's mind: Can one practice swordsmanship in a tree?
After listening to Elder Ren's words, Chen Zhou immediately looked up at the tree closest to him, and the image of himself practicing swordsmanship in the tree slowly surfaced in his mind.
There's no way to even stand up!
Chen Zhou was puzzled.
The gaps between the tree branches were quite large. Chen Zhou was not very familiar with the Cloud Piercing Sword since he had just learned it. If he were to practice swordsmanship on the tree, he would have to consider his footwork and make sure that each step he took landed on a branch.
"Practicing swordsmanship on a tree branch is actually the best choice. Because when you practice swordsmanship, you usually train your upper body and the sword in your hand. So few people pay attention to the footwork of the lower body. In fact, swordsmanship also has very high requirements for footwork. You know this importance now that you have learned Xingyi Cloud Sword, right? If the training of the lower body is not in place, you will not be able to bring out the foundation of your upper body sword training."
Ren Lao explained.
Chen Zhou continued to visualize the posture of practicing swordsmanship on a tree branch, just as Elder Ren had said. Practicing swordsmanship on a tree branch indeed required a high level of footwork. If Chen Zhou were to practice swordsmanship on a tree branch right now, he had absolutely no confidence that he could complete the task.
Moreover, this was a move Chen Zhou had never practiced even once—the Cloud Piercing Sword—and he had no physical memory of it, making it even more difficult to cultivate on a tree branch.
