Chapter 315: So He’s a Cultivator! (5)

A special cultivation method? This was not a term used in the martial arts circle. It was a little like a metaphysical path fabricated by the people.
However, he did not ask much about this and hurriedly explained,
“Alright, although there are many factions in these saber techniques, they have the same common point. The first was that the saber technique was heavy and fierce. Compared to the sword, there were fewer changes to the saber technique, and its power did not decrease.
“In Chinese martial arts, there was a saying about saber techniques. Hand for single saber, and gait for double sabers. In other words, if one used a saber with one hand, the most important requirement was the use of the arm, wrist, and elbow. The use of the two sabers required the user’s gait to change.
“Regardless of which faction it was, there were only eight moves in the saber technique. They were sweeping, hacking, plucking, slicing, nai, slashing, and stab. If you want to practice saber technique, you first have to have some basic skills. A saber point is a sharp point from top to bottom, standing at the tip of a saber. Use this to practice your control over the saber and the key points of raising your wrist to exert force.”
As he spoke, Lin Guodong extended his right hand and clenched it into a fist, showing Su Yun in detail what a saber point was. It had to be said that Lin Guodong’s short words brought Su Yun a sense of clarity.
Previously, he had been repeatedly slashing. Even he felt that this was a little meaningless. Now that he heard Lin Guodong’s words, Su Yun realized. The repeated slashes from before were not enough for him to improve at all. It was no wonder that after practicing for so long, his saber technique still did not make any progress.
“Mr. Lin, is there any saber technique in the martial arts knife technique that can deal a blow?”
Su Yun also asked the question he was most concerned about. This question also made Lin Guodong fall silent for a moment. He soon nodded and looked at Su Yun again. “The usage you mentioned can be found in saber techniques. There were many types of sabers, and the huge saber occupied an important position. The huge saber was heavier, larger, and slower in attack, so it paid special attention to the key to killing in one strike.
“Unlike other saber techniques, people who used huge sabers rarely had those complicated routine moves. Instead, they practiced a few movements to the extreme.
“When fighting with an opponent, the person using the huge saber could almost ignore conventional blocking. Therefore, the only way to defeat the huge saber was to dodge through flexible movement techniques.
“However, it was also very difficult to use the huge saber. It was even more difficult to reach this level of killing in one strike. First of all, it requires the extreme strength of the core of one’s physique. Secondly, unlike ordinary saber techniques, where the body carries the saber, the way to use the huge saber has to let the saber carry the body.”
Lin Guodong’s words lit up Su Yun’s eyes. This was a direction he had always wanted to practice. The saber used did not have to be a huge saber. In fact, a conventional weighted saber was enough.
To be precise, what Su Yun wanted to practice was never the saber, but himself. As long as he had a detailed training method, Su Yun could completely turn himself into a knife. At that time, no matter what he held in his hand, it would be enough to hold it like a huge knife.
This topic was what Su Yun was most interested in. It happened to be Lin Guodong’s area of expertise, so the two of them quickly chatted. The organizers sitting at the back were really envious when they saw Su Yun and Lin Guodong becoming more and more familiar.
Yet they had no choice. After all, Lin Guodong was still sitting here. Even if they wanted to chat with Su Yun, they did not have a chance.
It was also at this moment that the eyes of many of the representatives of the various sects and factions sitting at the back, as well as the authority of the current generation of Chinese martial arts, lit up.
“Saber technique?”
This was a good opportunity! Master Su was clearly interested in saber techniques. Perhaps he could use this to rope him in?
Thinking of this, many people were eager to give it a try. The representative of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Saber quickly called his eldest disciple over and whispered into his ear. The others were not stupid. They knew what it meant at a glance.
Unfortunately, there was really no such thing as saber techniques in the Northern Leg faction. He had missed such an opportunity for nothing. However, those who knew a little about saber techniques were not to be outdone and hurriedly instructed.
Not long after, the eldest disciple of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Saber immediately found his sect’s Martial Uncle and told him what his master had said. After that, this Martial Uncle of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Saber actually personally ascended the arena.
Different from the young people before, this person was a big shot in the Chinese martial arts circle. His seniority was very high, so why would such a person personally go on stage to show off? Wouldn’t that be a joke?
But today, such a big shot in the Chinese martial arts world had personally gone on stage.
“Fuck, isn’t this Senior Zhao?”
“What’s going on? Is there a lecture about today’s process?”
It caused many martial arts enthusiasts to exclaim repeatedly. They still did not know what had happened and guessed that there was a martial arts lecture. And it was personally taught by such a senior.
After the Eight Gates Golden Lock Saber’s Martial Uncle went on stage, he cupped his fists in Su Yun’s direction and bowed. Then, he shouted loudly, “The Eight Gates Golden Lock Saber represents Zhao Boran. I’ll go on stage to embarrass myself. Master Su, please guide me!”
His voice spread throughout the venue, shocking everyone.
On the second floor, Su Yun was also somewhat surprised. He knew nothing about this, so how could he give advice? But Zhao Liang had already begun to display his saber technique. Moreover, he would even deliberately slow down on some complicated movements..
