This time Jian Shen didn't stay unconscious for long, since the soul tearing pain from best his gut woke him up.

"Aaaahhhhh!"

Having just woken up, Jian Shen couldn't hold back and ended up screaming from pain.

Seeing this Qingyu directly pulled him into her embrace and began gently patting him on the back, "It's okay... Everything will soon be fine."

While this did nothing to ease the pain, the comfort of Qingyu's warmth did make Jian Shen feel a little better.

Just as she said, after a while Jian Shen only felt weak and tired, as the pain completely disappeared and left him with a numb body.

"It's fine now. I'm no longer in pain."

Ignoring what Jian Shen said, Qingyu kept on hugging him and whispered in his ear, "No problem. Let's stay like this for a while."

Smiling bitterly at how affectionate Qingyu was, but he wasn't in a state to reciprocate, Jian Shen stayed in the same place with his head rested by the side of her face.

After a while, Qingyu who was satisfied, stopped hugging Jian Shen and helped him get into his feet.

"As I said before, we can postpone your cultivation. For now, let's focus on helping you understand the basics of using a sword."

As Jian Shen slowly followed behind Qingyu and left the house, his body soon began recovering from its tiredness.

Unfortunately, even though the tiredness was no longer present, his body which was used to being at the Peak Stage of Qi Liquification Realm felt very weak from having turned into a completely powerless ordinary mortal.

"I know that your body feels weak, but training in this state will have better effects."

Once Qingyu gave Jian Shen a wooden sword, and took the same type of sword for herself, she started explaining the details if his training.

"By now I'm sure you have your style of swordplay, and though I don't know who helped you train, I can honestly say that it is definitely wrong."

Stopping Jian Shen who was about to say something, Qingyu said, "Before you say anything, let me ask you something. When you are using a sword, what is it that you place the most focus on?"

"Hmm... The strength."

"That right there is where you're wrong."

Shaking her head, Qingyu diligently explained.

"When using a sword, you should always pay the most attention to speed. The one who has a faster sword, will always win."


"Don't get me wrong, power and strength do matter. But what use is having an overbearing strength when your sword cannot even touch your opponent? Or if you end up wounding yourself, first?"

"So remember my words forever. A fast sword, is a strong sword."

"Therefore to understand the Path of Sword, you first need to understand how fast your sword can move."

"The remaining aspects such as timing, deception, calmness, rhythm, and so on all come second."

"Now see what I do, and repeat it until you grasp the meaning behind it."

Saying so Qingyu raised the wooden sword in her hand high above her head, and brought it down in front of her.

All in all, this looked like a very simple and basic sword slash that beginners were made to train.

Due to this Jian Shen felt like it wasn't much hard to do the same thing, but failed to understand what good it would do him.

"Ummm... Qingyu?"

"Yes?"

"Are you sure that swinging a wooden sword this way will help me learn the Path of Sword?"

Confidently nodding her head, Qingyu said, "As long as you do as I say, and never doubt yourself, there won't be anything in standing in the way of you learning the Path of Sword."

Seeing how confident Qingyu looked, Jian Shen felt that she was speaking the truth and he needed to trust her words.

What he didn't know was that even Qingyu herself didn't know if this would truly help Jian Shen, because while this mode of training was what everyone did to learn the Path of Sword, not everyone was capable of comprehending it.

But given that he was the reincarnation of the previous Jian Shen who was considered as the biggest sword genius in the past hundred thousand years, his talent shouldn't be too bad, right?

Following Qingyu's words, Jian Shen gripped his sword tight and raised it high up after which he used all of his strength to slash it straight down and stopped it when his hands were in front of his waist.

Having performed this, Jian Shen didn't feel like anything special happened.

However, he remembered Qingyu's words and didn't start doubting himself. Instead, he kept on repeating the same sword swings.

What started when the sun was close to setting, finally stopped when the moon was up high and Qingyu informed him that dinner was ready.

By now Jian Shen's whole body was soaked in sweat, and his muscles were aching as well.

Luckily, despite feeling that the training wasn't bringing him any results, Jian Shen placed all of his faith in it. So after eating his very sweet dinner, which Qingyu didn't eat since her body didn't need food to sustain, and sleep, he woke up early in the morning to continue his training.
