Compared to Xiao Dan's charm, the swordsmanship she performed was dull. Just a starting move made Wandong lose interest.
All the better swordsmanship is to strike first with intention before the move is made. The seemingly pedantic and meaningless starting posture is often filled with an aura that makes the opponent tremble and trembles. It also creates a psychological impact on the opponent. It's like a mountain collapsing under the heavy pressure in front of you, and then you use the moves to kill a pig or a dog, and you can hit it thousands of miles away!
However, Xiao Dan's starting move had no charm at all, and it did not bring any psychological pressure to the opponent. It was completely showy and flashy.
And when Xiao Dan launched the next moves, Wan Dong shook his head frequently in his heart. The sword technique Xiao Dan performed was really not an ordinary inferior sword technique. I am afraid that it may not even be rated as a third-grade sword technique.
Of course, because he has practiced the Xuantian Enlightenment Technique and once comprehended the Holy Sword Way, Wandong's vision is inevitably more critical than ordinary people.
If an unrelated person had performed such a swordsmanship in front of Wan Dong, Wan Dong might have laughed out loud. But for Xiao Dan, Wandong couldn't laugh at all. Although the swordsmanship is poor, it brings out Xiao Dan's seriousness and persistence.
Watching Xiao Dan, one move after another, exerting his unqualified sword skills to perfection, Wan Dongfei not only couldn't laugh, but also felt a little heavy. Judging from Xiao Dan's expression, what she showed Wandong was not a set of sword skills. It was clearly her efforts and struggle in this cruel world!
If the cruelty of the small mortal world lies in the harsh living environment, then the cruelty of the big Taoist world is extremely unfair!
Zhang Xuefei and Zhang Xueru are only one or two years older than Xiao Dan, but their cultivation level is much higher than that of Xiao Dan. Maybe Xiao Dan will not be able to make up for the difference between them in his entire life. difference.
Could this gap exist because Xiao Dan's qualifications are not as good as those of the Zhang sisters? Absolutely not! In Wan Dong's view, even if Xiao Dan's qualifications are not the best, they are definitely superior and not inferior to the Zhang sisters in the slightest. The only reason for this gap is unfair fate!
Who gave the Zhang sisters the good fortune to be born into a third-grade family? Relying on the power of the family, the Zhang sisters have had abundant resources that Xiao Dan could not even imagine since they were born. It was with the help of the family's resources that the Zhang sisters were able to establish such a huge advantage over Xiao Dan.
But comparing it to Li Weiqian, who is from a second-grade family, what do the Zhang sisters count? Li Weiqian is similar in age to Xiao Dan, and also younger than the Zhang sisters, but she is now a strong person in the Earth Wheel Realm, and perhaps the Zhang sisters will have to work hard for another ten years to achieve this achievement.
Thinking of Li Weiqian, Wan Dong couldn't help but think of Huangfu Qing! This is undoubtedly a girl who defies the will of heaven. At such a young age, her cultivation has reached the realm of heaven. Compared with Xiao Dan, it can no longer be described by the difference between cloud and mud.
A drop of crystal clear sweat slowly slid down Xiao Dan's cheek. Under the cover of the sun and the light of the sword, it shone like a crystal, emitting a dazzling light. Wandong couldn't help but let out a sigh in his heart. This drop of sweat was not only dazzling to the eyes, but also piercing the heart!
The same sweat cannot bring back the same harvest. This kind of unfair fate undoubtedly makes people most helpless. And it is this helplessness that highlights the cruelty of this injustice!
However, in such a helpless situation, Xiao Dan did not give up. She was still working hard and fighting persistently. Perhaps even she understood that this kind of hard work and resistance would most likely be in vain.
In the eyes of some people, this is ridiculous, but in Wandong's eyes, it is respectable. The image of this weak girl named Xiao Dan in Wandong's mind seemed to have suddenly grown taller.
Wan Dong doesn't know if he would have such courage and persistence if he were Xiao Dan. Although Wandong does not have the advantages of his family, he has been extra favored by God. How many lucky people like him are there in the world
Speaking of which, maybe he, Wan Dong, is the one who should least question the injustice of fate!
"Mr. Xu, how do you think I perform this sword technique?"
Just when Wan Dong was having many thoughts and was feeling uneasy, Xiao Dan's gentle yet nervous voice suddenly rang in his ears.
Wan Dong was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Xiao Dan's set of sword skills had been used unknowingly. Wan Dong couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Xiao Dan was so serious that he was distracted.
"Mr. Xu, why don't you say anything? Is it because my sword skills are too bad?"
Wandong's silence made Xiao Dan's pretty face look a little more nervous and a little disappointed.
Wandong couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart. He smiled and shook his head and said, "Of course not! In fact, you have performed this set of swordsmanship quite perfectly. It can be said that it is flawless. I really can't think of anything that needs guidance. "
Wandong's words were half true and half false, and they were completely good words to comfort Xiao Dan. Regardless of the pros and cons of her swordsmanship, in terms of each move, Xiao Dan performed them perfectly and was indeed flawless. But it's not that there are no points that need guidance, it's that there is no need for guidance at all. No matter how much you decorate and improve a small awning, it will never turn into a big cruise ship!
When Wan Dong said this, Xiao Dan's pretty face was like a blooming lotus, bursting into bright smiles.
"I've been practicing this set of swordsmanship for eighteen years. I don't know if I'm good at it, right? But after hearing what you say, Mr. Xu, I can finally feel relieved."
"Eighteen years?" Wan Dong was stunned when he heard this.
With such a mediocre and poor swordsmanship, Xiao Dan actually spent eighteen years on it, and it was the most precious and beautiful eighteen years in his life. This made Wandong's heart feel as if he was being tortured. It hurt like someone had been punched hard.
"We can't continue like this!" Wandong couldn't help but let out a low roar in his heart. Even if he didn't feel guilty about Xiao Dan before, he would never let Xiao Dan go on like this again.
After calming down, Wandong said, "Xiao Dan, although I have nothing to teach you, I have a set of swordsmanship that I want to teach you. Are you willing to learn it?"
"Yes! Of course I do!"
Before Wan Dong's words could be heard, Xiao Dan jumped up with joy as if he had won a prize.
Wandong nodded, stretched out his hand and said, "Then please lend me your sword."
Hearing that Wandong wanted to borrow the sword, Xiao Dan's expression suddenly became a little awkward: "Mr. Xu, my sword is very ordinary. I'm afraid you won't be used to it..."
Xiao Dan's background must be very ordinary. I am afraid that her family would have used all their strength to send her to the outer gate of the Lin family to practice. Of course, it is impossible to buy any sword for her.
Wandong smiled and said, "It doesn't matter! I can use the sword you can use!"
Xiao Dan's expression was relieved, and he nodded heavily, saying, "I have worried too much. A real master can use even grass and trees to make swords. Mr. Xu must be such a master."
Xiao Dan said as he handed his sword to Wandong.
Wan Dong raised his eyes and saw that it was really a very ordinary sword. He must have bought it from a weapons shop on the street in Linyang City, and it was probably the cheapest. But when such an ordinary sword was put together with Xiao Dan's face that refused to compromise on hardships and never gave up on the future, Wandong's head felt like a flash of light flashed through the night. A dazzling bolt of lightning suddenly lit up, and a glimmer of understanding suddenly came in this bright light!
Wan Dong was suddenly stunned, half-stretched out his hand, and stood there frozen as if someone had tapped his acupuncture point. Everything in the world and everything around him retreated as quickly as the tide. Only the sword drawn in the "Secret of the Sword Immortal" kept flashing in front of him.
so similar! The sword in 'The Secret of the Sword Immortal' is exactly the same as Xiao Dan's sword.
Wan Dong subconsciously scanned Xiao Dan's sword carefully three times, and found that Xiao Dan's sword was just ordinary iron, with no spirituality at all.
"Could it be that... what is recorded in the 'Sword Immortal Art' is not a sword art at all, but a kind of sword intention, the same law and way as the true meaning of the wind and the true meaning of the cloud - the true meaning of the sword?... So what exactly is a sword? What's the true meaning of an ordinary sword... Ordinary people... Ordinary people... Hiss! Could it be that the true meaning of a sword is 'ordinary'? At that moment, it was extraordinary. And from ancient times to the present, among all the great masters who have made achievements in the art of swordsmanship, which one is not astonishing in the past? How can it be related to the word ordinary? They say the sword is the king of weapons! How can one be ordinary if he is the king
At this moment, Wandong's head felt like a storm was blowing, and he could not calm down for a moment. Wan Dong vaguely felt that he had touched the true meaning of the 'Sword Immortal Secret', but he was still a little short of fully controlling it.
"Mr. Xu, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
Xiao Dan's soft voice came to his ears again. Wandong subconsciously raised his head and looked at Xiao Dan. He didn't see Xiao Dan's facial features clearly, but first saw her pair of shining eyes, as bright as stars. . What kind of spirit can make Xiao Dan's eyes so bright
"Wait!" Wan Dong's mind suddenly shook, and he couldn't help but blurt out a loud shout.
Xiao Dan and others, who were looking at Wandong in a daze and confusion, were all shaken by Wandong's loud shout and looked shocked.
Wan Dong couldn't care about that. At this time, in his mind, the storm instantly evolved into a terrifying thunderstorm. Thousands of lightnings lit up at the same moment, almost completely annihilating the darkness. And in this Under the astonishing thunderstorm, a thin figure was clearly getting taller and taller, and the face gradually became clearer... (To be continued)
