"So that was it." Zhao Lie nodded. "Since you already have a foundation in internal energy, we'll begin learning a complete martial art. This technique is called the Profound Iron Sword Technique. Its moves are simple, but its power is considerable, making it very suitable for self-defense."
Afterward, Zhao Lie began demonstrating the Profound Iron Sword Technique. Holding a longsword, he moved with fluid grace, every stance and strike brimming with power. Lin Taichu watched intently, committing every movement to memory.
Another month passed, and Lin Taichu was already able to wield the Profound Iron Sword Technique proficiently.
Although his swordsmanship was not yet refined, his moves were already quite standard. Combined with the internal energy in his body, they carried a certain amount of force. Ordinary Jianghu experts were no longer his match.
That day, Lin Taichu sparred with Zhao Lie at the Training Ground. Zhao Lie deliberately slowed down and used only sixty percent of his strength. Lin Taichu responded calmly, his longsword whistling through the air. Every move precisely blocked Zhao Lie's attacks, and he even managed to counterattack from time to time.
After the sparring session, Zhao Lie nodded. "Mr. Lin, you've improved quickly. You now have enough ability to protect yourself. It will be difficult for ordinary experts to harm you."
Lin Taichu let out a breath of relief, a smile appearing on his face. "Thank you for your guidance, Guard Zhao. Without you, I couldn't have learned so much in such a short time."
"This is the result of your own hard work. Your comprehension and perseverance are beyond those of ordinary people. If you still want to improve further, practice more on your own and become familiar with coordinating the moves with your internal energy. If you encounter any problems, come find me
