Xie Zhou continued to study and break through her limits. She discovered that this sword manual was so ingenious that it could maximize the flexibility of the swordsman's body, and that the user could freely change the method, starting point, and various sensitivities of controlling the sword according to the mental techniques contained within.
She has always disliked following a sword manual step by step, practicing each move one by one. She felt that this method would only make her feel very bored and without any fun. However, she gradually mastered this sword manual perfectly, and it seemed that she was getting more and more enthusiastic about practicing it.
She greatly admired this kind of swordsmanship that allowed her to be so adept and capable of defeating her opponent in one move.
There are many steps involved, and the underlying principles are very relatable. Xie Zhou has grasped a great deal from them and is learning more and more. She really enjoys this feeling.
Xie Zhou felt herself constantly improving. The sword in her hand seemed to be a perfect match for her. Before this, she would only use the Peerless Sword for major attacks and would not take it out easily. She usually used the Spirit Sword to deal with things.
This time, her coordination with the Peerless Sword was getting better and better. Although the Peerless Sword was like a sword without any life, Xie Zhou felt that the sword in her hand could talk to her after practicing for half of the book. When fighting the opponent, the sword would completely obey her command without any improper operation.
Xie Zhou was filled with passion, her face beaming with smiles. Like a madwoman, she was constantly learning from the dry river valley, studying this sword manual, and slowly becoming more and more energetic.
The system also detected that the host's emotions were extremely high and he was very excited.
She finally immersed herself in the task, and her swordplay became increasingly powerful and unstoppable. At this moment, the system smiled and said, "I am very pleased that the host has such an understanding. It seems that the host's position in the Sword Sect is unshakable, and she will definitely achieve great things in the future!"
Xie Zhou practiced for a while, then felt a little tired and sat down cross-legged.
But she searched around and found no water. She could only wipe the sweat from her forehead and felt that the clothes on her back were stuck together. She never thought she could work so hard. This sword manual was the most special gift she had ever received.
After a short rest, she picked up her sword again, completely unaware of the changes around her. She was no longer in an open space, but in a cultivation pavilion.
There were actually many things in the attic, which would appear with a thought, but Xie Zhou was focused on the self-made sword manual and didn't care about anything else.
Seeing her enthusiasm, the system patiently explained the sword manual to her.
After all, some of the texts were too ancient, and Xie Zhou still needed the system's help to understand the literal meaning of the book before he could gradually comprehend the mysteries of swordsmanship within.
However, seeing how hard she was working, the system advised her to stop practicing.
"Host, you've only spent a few hours, and you've almost finished practicing this book. Why don't you take a break? There are still some spiritual fruits in your spatial storage that can replenish your spiritual energy. You should eat some of them. Don't keep practicing like this. I guarantee that you will pass the second trial perfectly this time as well."
Xie Zhou, who was practicing to the point of demonic possession, suddenly remembered that she had a lot of things in her storage space that could temporarily restore her strength. She immediately took out some spiritual fruits, ate a few, and then continued to immerse herself in the sword manual and practice swordsmanship.
The system also expressed its helplessness and could only patiently accompany her in practicing this self-made sword manual.
The guards and the sect leader outside the pavilion were utterly astonished. They had never seen anyone grasp the essence of the sect leader's self-made sword manual so quickly, practice it so rapidly, and put in such great interest and effort. The sect leader and the guards were extremely pleased.
Seeing the potential in Xie Zhou and her future development, the first sect leader was overjoyed and thought about the second test. If she could break the record again, he planned to pass on a part of his inheritance to her. Such a genius could not be let go easily.
...
Time passed by, minute by minute. Inside the attic, Xie Zhou dared not stop, diligently absorbing all the sword techniques and mental cultivation methods in this self-made sword manual, practicing with great difficulty.
She ignored the sweat that had already soaked her clothes; after all, practicing kendo inevitably involved wielding a sword. Even though her arms were a little sore, she continued to practice the sword manual.
In less than half a day, Xie Zhou successfully mastered the Peerless Sword Technique.
She cleared her mind of the fragmented sword techniques, then closed her eyes and, following her own steps, imagined an enemy, thus beginning another swordplay that perfectly embodied the book.
Her swordplay was sharp yet her footwork was agile. She could quickly change the direction of her sword while attacking others. In addition, she was skilled in magic and also used the sword formations she learned in the Sword Sect, as well as the things she learned in the previous sword manual. She cleverly integrated them together to form her own unique sword style.
A perfect sword technique was then fluently displayed.
Xie Zhou opened her eyes, put away the Peerless Sword, and left the pavilion. Only then did she realize that the open space had turned into a pavilion, which surprised her quite a bit.
The guard was even more surprised, and he was taken aback when he saw Xie Zhou push open the door.
He did have high hopes for Xie Zhou's abilities, but who would have thought that he could complete such a large self-made sword manual in just six hours? It was truly terrifying.
The guard asked with some doubt, "Trial participant, have you truly fully comprehended this book?"
Xie Zhou nodded solemnly, drew her sword, and said, "Then please examine it, Guardian!"
She then took a stance, gripped the sword in one hand, slightly bent both arms, and pulled it back while the sword pierced her back from under her ribs, before she flipped over again...
Xie Zhou fully displayed the swordsmanship of the Peerless Sword.
She stopped and sheathed her sword when suddenly a beam of blue light entered her body.
Xie Zhou was somewhat surprised. Were there other attackers in this training ground? Fortunately, she did not feel any discomfort.
The guard was surprised when he saw the light, but then he smiled and explained, "Don't panic, because you've broken two records in a row. This is a reward from the Sword Sect Master!"
"award?"
Xie Zhou was a little confused, but seeing the guard's smiling face, she began to sense the light from before, but she didn't feel anything.
At this moment, the system told Xie Zhou: "Host, feel it carefully. You just obtained a sword aura with astonishing power, which contained the full force of the First Sect Master."
