Chapter 131 Xuanwu Sword Technique!

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "But that's because I incorporated the concept of Dugu Nine Swords. The Dugu Nine Swords' swordsmanship theory is unique in the world. Integrating it into the swordsmanship of other sects will naturally be much better than the original swordsmanship. This is also very normal, right?"

"Is it normal?"

Feng Qingyang smiled and shook his head, "Don't you think that the Huashan Sword Technique, Taishan Sword Technique, and other sword techniques are not inferior to the Dugu Nine Swords in some aspects?"

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "The advantage of Dugu Nine Swords lies in its all-encompassing nature of swordsmanship. However, in some aspects, Huashan Swordsmanship, Taishan Swordsmanship, Songshan Swordsmanship, etc. all have their own mysteries and subtleties. In these aspects, they are indeed not inferior to Dugu Nine Swords."

Feng Qingyang continued, "Have you ever seen Yue Buqun, Tianmen Taoist, Zuo Lengchan and others use their own sword techniques? Are they as exquisite as you imagined?"

Xin Zhen suddenly realized something and said, "Master, what you mean is that these sword techniques are not as subtle and profound as I saw. It's not that they didn't understand the mysteries, but because these sword techniques are not that powerful in the first place?"

Feng Qingyang smiled and said, "That's right. Is it possible that the subtleties and mysteries that you think are not inferior to Dugu Nine Swords are actually your understanding based on these sword techniques?"

Hearing this, Xin Zhen already understood what Feng Qingyang meant, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I see. I thought Senior Brother Yue, Zuo Lengchan, and Taoist Tianmen were not good at martial arts, but this is the truth."

Feng Qingyang smiled and said, "So, even without the Dugu Nine Swords, your swordsmanship attainments will still be incredibly high. Once you have seen hundreds of swordsmanships, maybe you can create the Dugu Nine Swords yourself."

Xin Zhen was skeptical about Feng Qingyang's conclusion, but thinking back on his experience in learning swordsmanship, it seemed that no matter what kind of swordsmanship, he could learn it just by looking at it. After learning it, he only needed to ponder it for a little bit to understand the many subtle mysteries in it, which was much more than those who had been immersed in it for decades.

So, am I really a genius among geniuses, a man who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Zhang Sanfeng?
Xin Zhen shrugged. Actually, this didn't mean much to him. In today's world, his swordsmanship had reached an incredible level, and was only about the same as Feng Qingyang and Dongfang Bubai, so it didn't matter whether he was a genius or not.

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "So this sword technique basically doesn't seem to be from Hengshan Sword Technique, right?"

Feng Qingyang nodded and said, "Even if the Hengshan Sanding came, they wouldn't dare to say that this is Hengshan's swordsmanship."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "That's good. Are there any flaws that need to be corrected?"

Feng Qingyang shook his head again and said, "As a set of sword techniques, it is already perfect enough. It is connected from beginning to end, harmonious and perfect. It has already become a system and does not need to be modified."

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Is it settled then?"

Feng Qingyang nodded and said, "That's fine."

At this time, Qu Feiyan suddenly said: "Master, Master, I have an idea, I don't know if it is appropriate to talk about it."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "If there is anything inappropriate, just say it."

Qu Feiyan nodded and said, "I remember that the original intention of your sword technique was to lower the threshold for learning sword techniques. Just as you said, sword techniques that are too subtle and profound have a flaw, which is that not many people can learn them. Your sword technique seems to be more subtle and profound than other sword techniques in Huashan. It doesn't seem to be easy to learn, right?"

At this time, Feng Buping smiled and said, "Fei Fei, you don't understand. The so-called lowering of the threshold does not mean replacing it with a crude sword technique, but providing a variety of sword techniques for disciples to choose from. Learning sword techniques is very fate-oriented. Sometimes one cannot learn this sword technique well, but another sword technique can be mastered quickly, and the latter sword technique is not cruder or simpler than the former one.

If the Sect Master creates several more sword techniques now, the disciples will have many opportunities to try them out. If they cannot learn the Hengshan sword technique, they may find the Taishan sword technique is easy to learn. In this way, there will be more disciples who can learn advanced sword techniques, and the Sword Sect will naturally become stronger.

If we only lower the threshold for disciples to get started, and thus lower the upper limit of swordsmanship, it would not be worth the loss. It would be better to collect some simple swordsmanship from the world, but it would not make much sense, right?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "That's one reason. I have the sword techniques of several major sects in my hands. If I don't transform them into some advanced sword techniques, I will not be satisfied. As for the threshold problem that Feifei mentioned, I will think of a way..."

Xin Zhen suddenly thought of Yang Guo's heavy sword technique. The heavy sword technique was simple and ingenious, and it overwhelmed the opponent with its force. The moves were not complicated. As long as one had deep internal strength, one could master the heavy sword technique by dancing the heavy sword in the waves. This would be of great use to disciples who were good at internal strength but not good at sword technique.

If someone asks, if this disciple is not good at swordsmanship and his internal strength is not good enough, what kind of swordsmanship should he practice?
To this kind of problem, Xin Zhen could only say: Just give up, study hard and take the imperial examination. If you can't study, then find a way to make a living. If that still doesn't work, then go farming.

In fact, when it comes down to it, all the efforts made by Xin Zhen were based on the fact that his disciples were actually talented.

Some disciples are not good at learning swordsmanship, but they are very good at cultivating internal strength, which is a kind of talent.

Some disciples are not good at learning Yangwu's swordsmanship, but are very good at Xiyi's swordsmanship, which is also a sign of talent.

If you really have no talent, I don’t recommend learning martial arts.

If one does not have a talent for learning literature, at best he will fail to complete his studies and will eventually return to farming or other means of livelihood.

If you don’t have the talent to learn martial arts, you will pay the price with your life.

Feng Qingyang had seen through this problem a long time ago. He was not too concerned about the discussion among his disciples. What he cared about was this sword technique. He asked with great interest, "Jian'er, what name do you plan to give this sword technique?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Master, do you have a suitable name?"

Feng Qingyang smiled and said, "You should come up with the name for your sword technique. I have created many other techniques myself, so I have to keep the good names for myself. You should come up with the name yourself."

Xin Zhen smiled upon hearing this, and after a moment of silence, he said, "This sword technique originated from the Hengshan sword technique. Although it has been stripped of many external features, its core is still the Hengshan sword technique. It is not good to forget one's roots.

The Northern Mountain Hengshan is also known as Taihengshan, but it has had a name since ancient times, Xuanwu Mountain. Xuanwu is mainly for defense, which happens to fit the theme of this sword technique, so let's name it Xuanwu."

"Xuanwu Sword Technique..." Feng Qingyang smacked his lips and said with a smile, "You have a good way of naming things. You are indeed worthy of being the third place winner. Very good, this name is very good!"

Feng Buping smiled and said, "What should the sword technique transformed from Taishan Sword Technique be named then?"
