The sun had just risen.

Hong Family Estate.

A handsome young man stood in the middle of the training ground.

He was practicing.

He held a saber in one hand.

It was a horizontal saber forged from refined steel.

"Five Elements Prison Demon Saber. Five attributes: Metal's Sharpness, Wood's Bending and Straightening, Water's Flexibility, Fire's Ferocity, and Earth's Heaviness..."

Hong Xuan sheathed the saber,

and thought:

"The Five Elements generate and overcome one another. The saber technique combines hardness and softness."

Master Li's every movement as he demonstrated the saber technique remained vivid in his mind. The movements were clearly identical to Hong Xuan's own practice, yet they possessed several indescribable traces of elegance.

Hong Xuan had gained some insight.

He slowly opened his eyes, took a few steps forward, and walked to a round stone stool.

"Whew~"

Hong Xuan adjusted his breathing again and switched to a two-handed grip.

He swung the saber, slashing diagonally.

The blade silently swept across the hard marble-like stone stool.

A corner of the stool slid off.

The cut was smooth as a mirror.

With the same slash before, he could only knock off a chunk of stone, and the web between his thumb and forefinger had throbbed painfully from the impact.

"Ha~"

Hong Xuan opened his mouth and exhaled steaming white mist.

"That's it!"

Hong Xuan was delighted.

"Earth Generates Metal. I use Earth's Heaviness to control Metal's Sharpness. That's why cutting through the stone stool feels like slicing butter."

"Fire overcomes Metal. I use Fire's Ferocity to offset Metal's Sharpness. That's why there's no backlash when I sheath the saber, and my hand no longer hurts."

"Phew~ I almost disgraced all transmigrators."

The corners of Hong Xuan's lips curled upward, his eyes shining brightly.
