"Swordsmanship is by no means a matter of precise swings. With such practice, no matter how exquisite the swordsmanship is, it will only be of inferior quality. Only by infusing your spirit, concentrating on it, and concentrating on observing and feeling, one move after another will change from a single move. Each part, and then the overall changes, I am immersed in it. If this is the case, even if there is only one sword, it is still a superior swordsmanship!"
"Spirit, there must be spirit in swordsmanship. Only in this way is it a sword. Otherwise, it is just a rotten iron bar and has no effect!"
The instructor's voice echoed.
In the field, Zhao Cheng and others had already begun to swing their swords.
The wooden sword was swung, one move after another. The speed was not very fast, and the explosive power could not be felt.
But if you observe carefully, you will feel a sense of stability.
The essence of this set of swordsmanship lies in stability. It is not a swordsmanship designed to explode, but focuses on exercising one's control over the sword.
For those who can't hold the sword firmly during practice, pursuing explosiveness is like running without learning how to walk, which is of no benefit.
After practicing this training method, the more stable the sword path is, the deeper the attainment will be. It is said that if one reaches the extreme level, as long as he holds the sword in his hand, he will not be knocked down.
Of course, this state is not something ordinary people can achieve.
Zhao Cheng wielded the wooden sword, and the instructor's voice rang in his ears, but he was not affected by the sound at all, and every move was filled with energy.
Ordinary people with insufficient eyesight may not be able to tell whether there is energy and energy being poured into them when swinging the sword, but this kind of thing can deceive others, but not yourself.
Just after infusing his energy and energy, Zhao Cheng felt like his whole body was affected by every move he made. His whole body was like a precise machine, moving in harmony and unity.
If it hadn't been for nearly 20 minutes of breathing meditation before, which stimulated life potential, I would never have felt this sense of harmony by simply dancing with the sword.
In this process, Zhao Cheng could notice that every trace of it was imprinted on his body, remembered by his body, imprinted on his spirit, and remembered by his spirit.
Although these traces are light and few, they add up to make more. As time goes by, one day, the sand will accumulate into a tower and the water will form a river, showing an extraordinary scene.
In this state, Zhao Cheng's perception of time has become blurred. It is not that the days are like years and the time is infinitely stretched. Instead, it is like playing an interesting game and the time is infinitely shortened.
It felt like only a moment had passed, but in reality, a long time had passed.
At this time, the instructor also held a wooden sword and walked around in the crowd. Sometimes the wooden sword would be swung out casually, cutting through the air and colliding with the wooden swords in the hands of other students.
It was during this collision that the force was transmitted. The student struck by the wooden sword was immediately shocked, and the force changed, and the sword path that was originally not smooth was immediately cleared.
This kind of vision, this kind of method, the minimum requirement is that you are a swordsman, and you cannot be a newcomer to the swordsmanship. You must have accumulated in this realm for a period of time, walked a certain distance, and your spirit has been purified to a certain extent. , Only in this way can people correct their sword path.
And this kind of teaching method is undoubtedly a real step-by-step teaching. Although there are too many people, it is impossible to take into account the details, but you can fully grasp the details and find the feeling. The most important thing is to be corrected, and you can't practice. crooked.
I don’t know how long it had passed, but Zhao Cheng suddenly felt exhausted. He suddenly lost the sense of clarity he had just before, and his body’s sensations became obscured, as if there was a layer of veil between him and he couldn’t see clearly. .
When Zhao established this, he knew that this was reaching its limit.
Therefore, don't be greedy for more, and immediately sheath your sword slowly.
He moved around and found that all his classmates were already resting, and he was the last one.
And from such a detail, we can also see the difference in swordsmanship.
"Classmate Zhao Cheng, your swordsmanship has improved rapidly in the past six months. Now you have become proficient in swordsmanship. You are the only one in the entire seventh class. To reach this level of swordsmanship, it shows that you work hard every day."
the instructor said.
He didn't pay much attention to Zhao Cheng before. At that time, Zhao Cheng's swordsmanship was only in the middle of the class, neither above nor below, and nothing outstanding.
After all, he is a young man and has no one to teach him by words and deeds. It is normal for his mind to be unstable. If his mind is unstable, it is naturally difficult to make great progress in his swordsmanship.
However, just half a year ago, Zhao Cheng's swordsmanship suddenly began to improve by leaps and bounds. From being a beginner to being proficient now, it only took half a year.
He was not surprised by this either.
This kind of thing has happened throughout the ages.
In fact, people's determination is a very sudden thing. After some people experience something, once they make a decision, it is like changing into a different person. In a short period of time, they have achieved great results.
Of course, there are also people who, after making a decision, cannot stick to it for a few days before falling back to their original form.
And Zhao Cheng undoubtedly persisted and achieved staged achievements.
He didn't know what Zhao Cheng had gone through to have such a change, and he had no interest in knowing that everyone had their own fate.
It is a good thing that Zhao Cheng can forge ahead.
"Proficient, it is indeed a proficient level of swordsmanship. I just said that if he can persist in swinging the sword for so long, he has definitely broken through."
"There are probably not many swordsmen of this level in the entire second year of high school. There should be more in the third year of high school, but not too many."
"..."
…
When the surrounding students heard the instructor's words, they began to discuss in low voices.
The swordsmanship here is generally divided into five stages, entry, proficiency, proficiency, master, and grandmaster. Of course, this is a modern term. In ancient times, it was called a beginner, practice makes perfect, mastery, return to nature, and immeasurable.
And proficiency, although it is only the second stage and may not seem like much, but among a group of high school students, it is already extremely powerful.
As for Zhao Cheng's classmates, they are all at the entry level now, and they are far from being proficient.
The so-called entry-level refers to being able to use it skillfully, every move and every move, not only making no mistakes, but also being able to infuse the spirit and energy into the sword path.
If there is no spirit in the sword, no matter how delicate and exquisite the sword path is, it will still be just a layman, vulnerable to a blow, and it is not even considered a beginner.
Many high schools have poor teaching staff, and some students don't even have entry-level swordsmanship.
All members of Zhao Cheng's class are able to get started, thanks to the teaching environment of Qingyuan.
As for proficiency, to be precise, it should be practiced and refined. After proficiency reaches a certain level, it gradually becomes refined.
This kind of purity refers to the purity of the sword's path, the smooth movement of force, and the purity of the spirit. It is like blacksmithing, which begins to be hammered and hammered again and again to knock out the impurities.
