When the Third Uncle returned to the royal residence with the book "Swordsman" bestowed by His Majesty, he gave this precious book to Chu Yuanwu, the ancestor of the Chu family, for his appreciation. Chu Yuanwu was shocked when he saw the title of the book. He thought to himself, what kind of strength is needed to achieve the goal of being a "Swordsman"?
Even a master-level expert wouldn't dare claim to be the unrivaled master of the martial arts world. While masters are rare on this continent, their power isn't enough to disregard all the heroes of the world. He was fully aware of the significance of this secret manual and understood why His Majesty placed such importance on it. He specifically explained this reason to Chu Xiang (Third Uncle) so seriously.
After carefully reading the secret book, Chu Yuanwu praised the martial arts theories and training methods introduced in it, and believed that it was indeed a rare martial arts treasure.
After closing the book, he also asked Chu Xiang (the third uncle) to pay enough attention to this secret book and to recall the royal family members who were wandering outside. He also asked them to personally supervise their cultivation and ensure that they could persist in understanding the essence of the secret book.
After receiving the order from the ancestor, the Third Uncle and several other elders immediately began to arrange for the cultivation of the clan members. They first summoned all the royal family members in Kaifeng City and conveyed Chu Fan's will and the importance of the "Swordsman" secret manual to everyone.
Then they gathered the clan members who could write, and enlarged and wrote the "Swordsman" given by His Majesty in the same way as His Majesty wrote it on a huge white cloth, and then hung it in a huge hall. The third uncle named this hall Wugong Hall.
This way, more members of the clan could see the secret book bestowed by His Majesty. After all, copying one book at a time was too slow. If there was only one book, it would be too slow for the clan members to read, and the learning efficiency of the royal family would be too low.
When Chu Fan learned about his third uncles' actions, he was also very shocked. He had not thought of such a method before, but his third uncle did. This made him admire his third uncle's intelligence.
In the hall, the Chu clan gathered at the command of the elders, their gaze fixed on the enormous "Swordsman" manual. Some were young warriors, others were older sages, but at that moment, their eyes gleamed with a thirst for martial arts and a vision for the future. After all, if His Majesty had said this was a peerless manual, then it must be one.
Chu Yuanwu stood before the crowd, his voice booming and filled with passion: "Today, we are honored to see the supreme martial arts treasure bestowed by His Majesty. 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer' is more than just a secret manual; it represents the glory of the imperial family and the hope of rejuvenation. Each of us must cherish this opportunity and study diligently. Only in this way can we live up to His Majesty's trust and the Chu family's reputation."
As Chu Yuanwu finished speaking, the hall erupted in applause. The clan members expressed their willingness to go all out and fulfill their mission. Third Uncle and the ancestors were also pleased, knowing that this would mark the beginning of the Chu family's resurgence.
They explained the practice methods and martial arts theories of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" in detail to their clansmen, allowing them to find the practice methods that suit them in this secret book.
Third Uncle particularly emphasized His Majesty’s expectations and the difficulty of cultivation, and required everyone to show the greatest determination and perseverance to face the various challenges in the process of cultivation.
Then, Third Uncle and the ancestors developed a detailed practice plan, including daily practice time, practice content, and supervision mechanism. They also decided to establish a reward and punishment system to motivate the tribe members to practice persistently.
Over time, under the strict supervision of their uncle and the ancestors, the royal family members gradually developed good cultivation habits. They began to experience the growth in strength brought by cultivation, and their pursuit of the martial arts became more intense. The results of practicing the secret manual of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" began to manifest among the royal family, not only improving individual strength but also strengthening the cohesion of the entire royal family and the stability of the country.
There was an old man in his sixties in the royal family. His name was Chu Yingjian, and he was obsessed with swordsmanship all his life. However, until he came into contact with The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, his cultivation was only that of an eighth-rank warrior. Compared with people of his age, his cultivation was dismal.
In the royal family, most of the sixty-year-old members have already reached the level of second-grade warriors or above, but Chu Yingjian is still an eighth-grade warrior. In the royal family, he is also the kind of person who is looked down upon.
However, after entering the Wugong Hall and reading the description of the Dugu Nine Swords in the peerless secret book bestowed by His Majesty, Chu Yingjian realized that his training had been extremely wrong.
He realized that although he had collected countless sword techniques over the past few decades, he did not know that a swordsman is a qualified swordsman as long as he has a sword in his hand and can control his sword at will.
As the Dugu Nine Swordsmen concluded, "No moves are better than any moves." As long as one can adapt and counter the moves of others, one can remain invincible no matter what opponent they face. Chu Yingjian suddenly realized this and began to change his training methods. No longer wedded to the complexity of sword moves, he focused on the application of sword intention and sword energy, pursuing a natural and smooth sword technique.
After figuring out the key to his own mind, Chu Yingjian immediately broke through from an eighth-rank warrior to a seventh-rank warrior. The third uncle, who was asked by Chu Fan to supervise these royal relatives, immediately noticed the difference in Chu Yingjian.
When Third Uncle and the other elders learned about the situation from Chu Yingjian, they were also amazed. They had never thought that the book "Swordsman" bestowed by His Majesty actually contained its own secret manuals.
Later, under the guidance of his Third Uncle and the ancestors, Chu Yingjian's swordsmanship advanced by leaps and bounds. He began to grasp the true meaning of swordsmanship, and each swing of the sword became more powerful and precise. His swordsmanship was no longer just a simple set of moves, but was infused with his understanding and insight into the way of the sword. Chu Yingjian's sword energy gradually became more fierce, and his swordsmanship became more unpredictable.
Chu Yingjian's strength also advanced by leaps and bounds. Over time, he finally broke through to the second rank, reaching the realm of a second-rank warrior. Chu Yingjian's progress astounded the entire royal family, and those who had previously held no hope for him began to take notice. Chu Yingjian's swordsmanship transformed him from a despised elder into a legend within the royal family. All of this stemmed from his profound understanding and tireless practice of the Dugu Nine Swords, found in the secret manual of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer."
In just one month, he went from eighth rank to second rank. This made the imperial family completely crazy. It turned out that the secret manual bestowed by His Majesty was truly a peerless secret! If they couldn't comprehend it, it seemed that they were not working hard enough.
