Chapter 36 Flowing Cloud Sword Technique

Wang Jianan was a tactful and smart person. This was also why Fang Chen admired him.

Seeing that Wang Jianan was indeed convinced, Fang Chen was in a good mood.

He patted Wang Jianan’s shoulder and said generously, “Black monkey, don’t worry. Follow me and I promise you won’t regret it.”

“Okay, Boss.” Wang Jianan also relaxed.

When the other disciples saw this scene, they were all amazed. When the smart ones saw Wang Jianan calling Fang Chen Boss, they also came over and surrounded Fang Chen. “Hey, what do you want? Fang Chen is Instructor Jiang’s most valued disciple. You…”

As soon as Lin Xiaoyu reached the entrance of the hall, she saw Fang Chen surrounded by Wang Jianan and a group of disciples. She thought that they were going to harm Fang Chen and was about to stop them.

However, before he could finish speaking, Fang Chen turned around and looked at Lin Xiaoyu. “Senior Lin, you’ve misunderstood. They’re asking me about the cultivation technique.”

“Yes, yes, yes. Senior Lin, Boss Fang Chen is so powerful. We all view him as our role model and want to learn from him,” Wang Jianan echoed.

Lin Xiaoyu looked at Fang Chen and Wang Jianan in confusion. These two people were still like fire and water in the morning. Why were they on good terms now?

And from the looks of it, Wang Jianan had actually become Fang Chen’s underling?

Xiaoyu was even more impressed by Fang Chen.

As an experienced elite disciple, Lin Xiaoyu knew that the true path of martial arts was not only to cultivate and become stronger, but also to be able to deal with the mutual deception.

Many talented people died young.

Those people had been plotted against because they thought too highly of themselves and did not know how to be tactful.

However, the current Fang Chen had long understood that it was better to squash enmity rather than keeping it alive. He had just formed a grudge with Wang Jianan in the morning, but he had actually subdued him in the afternoon.

It had to be admited that he was experienced and had a bright future.

Although Lin Xiaoyu still remembered that Fang Chen had taken advantage of her yesterday, it was not appropriate for her to say it now. She could only nod at them and walk to the first row.

Just as Lin Xiaoyu sat down, the afternoon bell rang. Then, she saw Jiang Mingtao carrying a long sword to the podium.

“Hello, new disciples. What we learned this morning was an entry-level cultivation technique. It’s the foundation for your future advancement to the middle three grades or even the upper three grades.

However, the lower three grades still had to focus on external cultivation techniques to train the flexibility and coordination of the body. Only then could martial artists unleash their strength and achieve combat ability.

“Therefore, what I’m going to teach you now is the entry-level sword technique of the Whole Unitary Sect, the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique. Look carefully and remember it well. I’ll demonstrate it to you first.”

As Jiang Mingtao spoke, he drew his sword and began to practice the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique.

“Ka!”

Fang Chen held his phone and patted Jiang Mingtao, who was demonstrating his sword technique.

Many people noticed Fang Chen’s actions. No one was surprised. Instead, they looked at him enviously.

‘Ding… phone detected Flowing Cloud Sword Technique. Do you want to spend 100 taels to learn it?’

Fang Chen was excited. He was finally going to get rid of the embarrassing reputation of only knowing one set of Enlightenment Swordsmanship.

Without hesitation, he nodded. The money in his storage bag automatically decrea the little person in his mind automatically began to practice the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique. It was smooth and natural, and compared to Jiang Mingtao, each had their own merits.

Then the phone beeped again.

“Ding… Do you want to spend 10,000 taels to learn the maximum level Flowing Cloud Sword Technique?”

He nodded again. The sword technique practiced by the little person in his mind seemed to have been injected with life. It was natural and many levels higher than Jiang Mingtao’s level.

“Why do I feel like I’ve seen the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique before?”

Fang Chen demonstrated the sword technique in his mind and was a little puzzled. However, he quickly confirmed that this feeling came from the max-level Three Styles of Breeze he had learned in the past.

Although the two sets of sword techniques were fundamentally different, there were always similarities between some variations. This made Fang Chen feel that he could fuse the two sword techniques into one.

“Could this be the so-called ‘all roads lead to the same destination’?”

Fang Chen had a vague understanding of sword techniques. He even felt that as long as he was willing, he could create his own sword technique.

Just as Fang Chen was deep in thought, Jiang Mingtao, who was demonstrating the sword technique, finished demonstrating the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique.

“Alright, this is the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique that our Whole Unitary Sect must learn when we enter the sect. If you master it, it will be difficult to find a match for you in the same realm. Now, everyone, let me demonstrate the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique. How many of the eighteen sword moves have you comprehended?”

Jiang Mingtao looked at the audience expectantly.

“Instructor Jiang, I’ve comprehended three variations of the first move.”

“Instructor Jiang, I’ve comprehended two variations of the first move.”

Those disciples talked at once, but there was basically no big difference. They all stopped at the first move. Most of them only comprehended two or three variations out of nine.

“Instructor Jiang, I’ve comprehended six variations of the first move.”

The person who spoke was Dong Yue. She had a unique talent for learning martial techniques and directly left the other disciples in the dust.

“Instructor Jiang, I’ve already completely comprehended the first move. As long as you give me a day, I guarantee that I can completely master the first move.”

At this moment, Wang Jianan said proudly. As expected of the strongest person in the same batch.

Jiang Mingtao had a look of admiration on his face. He admired Dong Yue and Wang Jianan very much. Moreover, compared to the disciples he had taught in the past, he realized that these two were rare existences.

Then, he looked over to where Fang Chen was.

His heart skipped a beat as he realized that the strange mirror in Fang Chen’s hand was in his grasp. However, he was not being vain. Instead, his eyes were closed as if he was asleep.

“Fang Chen…” Jiang Mingtao shouted.

Although Fang Chen had shocked him to the point of thinking that there was no one like him in the past and no one like him in the future, the internal cultivation method was still based on one’s brain. If one learned it, they would be able to achieve it in one go.

However, sword techniques were not just about memorizing them. It also tested proficiency, combat response, and other comprehensive abilities.

In other words, although Fang Chen learned internal cultivation quickly and remembered sword techniques well, he might not be able to become an expert.

After all, sword techniques were known as killing techniques. A true battle was not something that a fool’s sword move could deal with in one go.

Seeing Fang Chen like this, Jiang Mingtao was angry. He felt that Fang Chen was really arrogant this time.

The disciples below were a little confused. After all, in their opinion, Fang Chen had displayed extraordinary memory in the morning.

Now that he looked in the mirror again and closed his eyes, he should have mastered the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique again.

Yet, why did it feel like Instructor Jiang was questioning Fang Chen again?

Instantly, everyone looked at Fang Chen and Jiang Mingtao, wanting to know what Fang Chen had done to make Instructor Jiang unhappy.

“Sigh, this Fang Chen is too worrying. If I had known earlier, I would have reminded him before class started. After all, there’s a huge difference between internal cultivation and learning martial techniques and sword techniques.”

Liu Xiaoyu basically had a good impression of Fang Chen at this moment, so she watched anxiously from the side.

At this moment, Fang Chen heard Jiang Mingtao’s cry and opened his eyes to look ahead.

Jiang Mingtao glared at him, clearly expressing his displeasure.

“Instructor Jiang, did you call me?” Fang Chen braced himself and asked.

“Fang Chen, let me ask you. How many moves did you comprehend from the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique I just demonstrated?” Jiang Mingtao asked with a dark expression.

“I understood everything!” Fang Chen replied honestly.

“Fang Chen, listen carefully. I’m not talking about memorizing the sword moves, but how much you’ve comprehended. In other words, if I want you to demonstrate now, tell me how many sword moves you can demonstrate?” Jiang Mingtao said angrily.
