Without needing to look at the rest of it, just the realm these few words elaborated on was already better than most subtle sword moves. The more normal sword moves, those without mysteries, were harder for the enemy to block because the more subtle a sword skill was, the more flaws there would naturally be. If you just normally stabbed with your sword, there would be very few flaws.
The Xuan Iron Sword Tactic’s essentials and the Blinking Sword Skill’s general principles were similar. The Blinking Sword Skill’s general principle was only one word, and that was fast. The martial arts under heaven, nothing does not break, only speed doesn’t break.
And the Xuan Iron Sword Tactic’s was heavy. Any strange changes your move still has, my sword will hit past it. As long as my force is vigorous enough, one force defeats ten meetings.
After being stationary for a while, carefully experiencing the subtlety of these eight words, Lu Xuan continued to flip the pages.
For the next few pages, it elaborated concerning those eight words, including the essentials of the Xuan Iron Sword Tactic, as well as the founder of the sword tactic’s experiences.
The entire sword tactic was but a few pages. Most of the pages were speaking of experiences. Only on the last page did there appear a sword move, however, calling it a sword move was elevating it a bit because there was only a straight stab, horizontal swipe, chopping down and some other basic moves. Going further, there was nothing else.
Only after he was finished looking at it, did Lu Xuan fully understand. No wonder this martial skill was listed as an incomplete book and also placed on the cultivation experiences bookshelf.
Just at that moment, a cold voice suddenly came from behind Lu Xuan’s ear.
“Put it down.”
The person speaking had a commanding tone, and was obviously indifferent, as it was a foregone conclusion that once he spoke, Lu Xuan would obediently listen to him.
However, it was a pity. Lu Xuan wasn’t a person who only ate soft foods and nothing hard. Hearing these words, he frowned, but didn’t place the Xuan Iron Sword Tactic back, instead Lu Xuan held on to it more tightly.
He turned his head to look at who had spoke. It was Lin Tian. At some point in time he had actually also come to this bookshelf and was looking at Lu Xuan or at the Xuan Iron Sword Tactic in Lu Xuan’s hands with a face full of indifference, as if even looking at Lu Xuan was being greatly generous.
Looking at the senior brother from the same group and who was currently the sword faction’s number one person, Lu Xuan slowly said: “Could it be that there is also a priority for selecting martial skills in the Martial Skill Pavilion?”
“He told you to put it down, so put it down. What’s with the questions?”
“Don’t you know who is standing in front of you right now? To put the thing in your hands into his eyes is your honor!”
…
That Lin Tian didn’t even open his mouth before those little brothers that came with him began to speak first, their eyes looking down on Lu Xuan.
(TN: 小弟 translates to little brother, but they are most likely unrelated, just fellow disciples)
Lin Tian raised his hand to stop the others from talking, his eyes moved to Lu Xuan’s face. Dully gazing at Lu Xuan, his mouth slightly hooked upward, revealing a slight smile: “The Martial Skill Pavilion doesn’t have this rule, however, I have this rule.”
