Chapter 30 – The ultimate of Sword Technique is Sword Qi

Meng Fan chuckled.

"This Sword Qi is not the ordinary kind!"

Then he drew the Hong Qi Sword and began to execute the Emerald Sea Tide Rises Sword Technique.

Meng Fan had previously sparred with Liu Yanping using this technique, and to give her pointers, he had specially studied it.

Thus, he was extremely familiar with the Emerald Sea Tide Rises Sword Technique.

"Senior Sister Liu, your main Sword Technique is the Emerald Sea Tide Rises Sword, am I right?" Meng Fan asked.

"That's correct!" Liu Yanping replied.

"In that case, watch closely."

Having said that, Meng Fan continued to practice the Emerald Sea Tide Rises Sword Technique.

Each move was executed with natural grace, making Liu Yanping, who had practiced the technique for many years, feel quite inferior.

Watching Meng Fan practice the sword, Liu Yanping unconsciously gained some insights and felt that her own Emerald Sea Tide Rises Sword Technique could be further improved.

Moments later, the entire Emerald Sea Tide Rises Sword Technique had been practiced up to the last move.

At that moment, Meng Fan suddenly shouted, "Senior Sister Liu, take my sword strike!"

Liu Yanping was startled as she watched Meng Fan.

She saw that Meng Fan had completed the final move of the Emerald Sea Tide Rises Sword Technique.

After finishing the last move, Meng Fan did not stop his long sword but swung it towards Liu Yanping once more.

An ordinary sword strike, without any fancy moves, just a simple swing, casually executed.

"Whoosh..."

A stream of Sword Qi burst forth from the blade of the Hong Qi Sword, slashing towards Liu Yanping.

Liu Yanping's face changed, and she quickly summoned her True Qi, slashing out with her sword in response.

"Boom!"

A muffled sound echoed as the Sword Qi unleashed by Meng Fan was shattered by Liu Yanping's strike.

However, a great force hit her, causing Liu Yanping to involuntarily take a step back.

She looked at Meng Fan in shock and disbelief, "Junior Disciple Meng, you're only at the second level of Qi Refining, how could you possibly unleash Sword Qi?"

As everyone knows, only when one reaches the third level of Qi Refining and channels True Qi with full force can one unleash Sword Qi!

"Think back carefully, did I use any True Qi just now?" Meng Fan said to Liu Yanping.

Just now?

Liu Yanping frowned and recalled carefully.

During Meng Fan's practice of the Emerald Sea Tide Rises Sword Technique, he had not used any True Qi, just casually practicing the sword.

And after performing the Sword Technique, Meng Fan followed up with a sword strike that flowed like clouds and water, seamless and without using any internal True Qi.

Realizing this, Liu Yanping was dumbfounded and utterly shocked.

"You... how could you possibly unleash Sword Qi without using True Qi?"

At this moment, Liu Yanping was truly astounded.

If Meng Fan had unleashed Sword Qi with a cultivation level of the second Qi Refining level, it would be surprising but not incomprehensible.

Perhaps Meng Fan's cultivation technique was special, and his True Qi was more profound than that of ordinary people.

But to casually unleash Sword Qi without using True Qi was beyond reason, leaving Liu Yanping unable to understand, as if witnessing a miracle.

"How did you do it?" Liu Yanping asked with a furrowed brow, starting to doubt her own understanding of cultivation.

Meng Fan sheathed the Hong Qi Sword and said with a smile, "This is the very breath you lack for breaking through to the True Martial Realm!"

Couldn't this kind of excellence be shared with others?

Liu Yanping sighed, saying with immense envy, "Someone like you is outrageous. I wouldn't be surprised if you suddenly cultivated Sword Intent one day!"

Meng Fan just smiled, saying nothing.

For him, cultivating Sword Intent was indeed not a difficult task.

Take the Emerald Sea Tide Rises Sword Technique, for example; if Meng Fan were willing to spend time studying it, perhaps in a month or two, he could cultivate the Emerald Sea Tide Rises Sword Intent.

But Meng Fan didn't value the Emerald Sea Tide Rises Sword Technique. Even if he cultivated its Sword Intent, it wouldn't be a particularly strong one.

Someone like Meng Fan, if he decided to cultivate Sword Intent, would certainly pick a formidable one!

"Just telling you this isn't worth a hundred Spirit Stones. I'm a fair man; in the next few days, I will personally coach you in the Emerald Sea Tide Rises Sword Technique."

Meng Fan's service was incredibly thorough and fitting.

He couldn't help it; he still valued Liu Yanping, the generous rich woman.

He wanted to comprehend the Sword God Stele a few more times, so he had to fleece Liu Yanping for all she was worth.

"Within seven days, I will ensure your breakthrough to the True Martial Realm," Meng Fan declared confidently.

Over the next seven days, Meng Fan spent each day coaching Liu Yanping in the Emerald Sea Tide Rises Sword Technique.

Most of the time was spent in the Training Hall, and when Senior Disciple Luo went out to fetch wine, Liu Yanping would come to the Sword Pavilion.

Not a day was wasted!

After seven days, Liu Yanping had finally mastered the Emerald Sea Tide Rises Sword Technique to the ultimate limit.

Like Meng Fan, even without using True Qi, she could generate True Qi with this Sword Technique.

Most importantly, she successfully broke through to the True Martial Realm.

This made her ecstatic, and she rewarded Meng Fan with ten Spirit Stones on the spot.

It wasn't much, but Meng Fan was content and didn't complain.

Time flowed like water, and another half month passed.

During this time, Meng Fan still visited the Training Hall daily to observe swordplay. After his last comprehension of the Sword God Stele, he gained deeper insights while watching.

His cultivation level had also reached the third level of Qi Refining.

Most importantly, his concept of Myriad Swords Returning to Me was beginning to take shape.

Unfortunately, the accumulation was insufficient. If only he could study ten thousand Sword Techniques, that would be ideal.

The Sword Techniques practiced by the disciples in the Training Hall were the same hundred or so types, and Meng Fan could no longer find any new ones.

Now, he rarely went to the Training Hall.

"If only I could sweep through the Scripture Pavilion, that would be great," Meng Fan sometimes thought wistfully.

Alas, he was just a Guarding Sword Disciple of the Sword Pavilion, not a disciple guarding the Scripture Pavilion.

One morning, as usual, Meng Fan began to clean the long swords.

Recently, the swords he cleaned occasionally had a Malevolent Aura.

But the "memories" within these Sword Wraiths no longer attracted Meng Fan's attention.

They were mostly ordinary Sword Techniques, similar in level to those practiced by the disciples in the Training Hall.

Just as Meng Fan was cleaning the twenty-ninth sword of the day, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

"Wait a minute!"

It was the voice of Hong Qi.

"What's wrong?" Meng Fan whispered.

"This sword may seem unremarkable, but in fact, it is a Spiritual Sword," Hong Qi reminded Meng Fan.
