“Again!”
After Lin Yun opened his eyes, he instantly raised the treasure sword in his hand and unleashed what seemed like a light and floating attack, but its speed suddenly accelerated!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The treasure sword streaked through the void at an extremely fast speed, leaving behind the sound of breaking wind.
The speed of the sword was still slowly increasing!
Inside the thatched hut.
The chess piece in Dong Jian’s hand clattered onto the chessboard.
“Brother Dong, he… has he succeeded?” Manor Lord Wu exclaimed in surprise.
Dong Jian was stunned for a moment before he uttered two words: “Yes, he has succeeded…”
“In just a mere day, how… how could he master it so quickly!” Xiao Nuo was even more shocked, his eyes wide with disbelief.
Xiao Nuo prided himself on having great talent in swordsmanship, yet it had taken him an extremely long time to truly reach this level!
But the Lin Yun before him had only taken a day?
This dealt a considerable blow to Xiao Nuo’s usually arrogant heart.
Lin Yun continued to wield his sword, constantly practising to become more proficient, which caused the speed of the sword to increase bit by bit.
About an hour later, Lin Yun felt it was sufficient and finally stopped.
“Haha, exhilarating!”
Lin Yun, who had sheathed his sword, laughed heartily with satisfaction.
Now, compared to before, Lin Yun’s proficiency in wielding the sword was at least twice as fast!
Seeing Lin Yun stop, Dong Jian also stood up.
“Lin Yun, you have great talent and comprehension in swordsmanship.” Dong Jian rose to his feet.
“Thank you for the praise, Senior Dong Jian. It is all thanks to your previous guidance and instruction that I have made such progress.” Lin Yun clasped his fists towards Dong Jian.
Wu Chengtian, standing to the side, said with a beaming smile: “Brother Dong, you previously said that if he could achieve it within half a month, you would teach him more things. Now you must honour that promise.”
“Since he has mastered it so early, he has the ability to receive further guidance from me.”
After saying this, Dong Jian poured a cup of tea, picked up the teacup, and walked towards where Lin Yun was.
The rain had stopped, and a ray of sunlight sprinkled down onto the earth.
In the blink of an eye, Dong Jian arrived in front of Lin Yun.
“Drink it, then close your eyes and calm your mind.” Dong Jian handed the teacup in his hand to Lin Yun.
Lin Yun was rather puzzled as to why he was suddenly being asked to drink tea.
However, Lin Yun also knew how excellent this tea was, so he did not dwell on it.
“Thank you, Senior Dong Jian.”
Lin Yun took the teacup and drank the tea in one gulp, then slowly closed his eyes.
The warm tea slid down his throat, sending a stream of heat along his oesophagus as if irrigating his entire body, relaxing him completely. Another stream of heat rushed straight to Lin Yun’s brain, giving him a sensation as if his mind had been suddenly enlightened.
“Hmm?”
With his eyes closed, Lin Yun discovered that after the stream of heat entered his brain, images related to the sword unexpectedly appeared in his mind, as if a sword was dancing continuously within it.
How could this be?
Lin Yun was greatly astonished in his heart. He had merely drunk a cup of tea, yet something like this had happened?
A moment later.
“Open your eyes.” Dong Jian’s voice rang out.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yun immediately opened his eyes.
“Did you see it?” Dong Jian looked at Lin Yun and asked.
“I saw it.” Although Lin Yun was shocked and puzzled in his heart, he answered truthfully without asking further.
“When I roast the tea, I incorporate swordsmanship into the process, so you were able to see something in the tea. Since you saw it, we can proceed to the next step. Now, watch carefully!”
After Dong Jian finished speaking, he immediately drew his treasure sword, leaped into the air, and the powerful aura of the Void Realm suddenly burst forth.
The airborne Dong Jian wielded his sword in the sky.
This time, unlike when Lin Yun had previously sparred with him, Dong Jian fully utilised his inner energy this time. After infusing his inner energy into the swordsmanship, his application of it reached a new height!
Lin Yun watched intently, afraid to miss a single detail.
“Hmm? It actually bears some resemblance to the sword dance images I just saw in my mind?” Lin Yun was astonished.
On the surface, they appeared vastly different, but because Lin Yun had just viewed the images in his mind, he discovered that the foundational principles and concepts of the swordsmanship Dong Jian was demonstrating were the same as those in the mental images.
If Lin Yun had not seen the mental images earlier and had directly watched Dong Jian wield his sword, he probably would have struggled to discern it and could only have seen the surface level.
Moreover, after drinking the tea earlier, Lin Yun’s mind was even clearer, allowing him to gain deeper insights and see through more profoundly as he observed.
Lin Yun speculated that if he had not seen any images after drinking the tea just now, there likely would have been no next step.
