Chapter 47: Wave-Slashing Sword Technique

On the martial arts field, a dozen new disciples were sweating profusely, slapping the water in the clay basin again and again.

Beside them, the ground was littered with broken pottery shards.

In the wooden man room, a young man stood in front of each wooden man, and the dull sound of their palms hitting fish skin continued.

Their palms were swollen and blood was oozing from their knuckles, but they all gritted their teeth and persevered.

As time goes by, the differences in talents and abilities become apparent in these young disciples!
In the training room next door, Zhang Yuan was learning the Zhanlang sword technique under the guidance of Dong Yuanwei.

The Chopping Waves Sword of the Angry Whale Gang is very famous. It is said to have been created by the first gang leader Dong Zhuohang. After hundreds of years of continuous improvements by sword masters, it has now become a martial art that must be mastered by the disciples of the War Hall.

The wave-cutting sword technique is not only suitable for land combat, but is even more powerful on the water.

In one battle with a big gangster, the Angry Whale Gang assembled hundreds of members of the battle hall who were skilled in the wave-cutting sword technique to form a sword formation. They broke the opponent's formation with a devastating force and won a decisive victory.

Originally, new disciples like Zhang Yuan needed to practice the Jingtao Palm for three months, and only after they had achieved some success could they learn the Zhanlang Sword and Lingbo Step.

But he surpassed his peers and mastered the Jingtao Palm to a master level in just one month.

Therefore, Dong Yuanwei made an exception and taught this sword technique in person in advance.

There are seven styles of Zhanlang swordsmanship. The moves are concise, sharp, and ferocious, with the emphasis on strength and momentum.

Therefore, it is quite simple to master the sword moves, but it takes time to develop the sword moves.

Different from practicing Jingtao Palm, Dong Yuanwei not only taught Zhang Yuan the secrets of swordsmanship, but also personally practiced with him.

For five consecutive days!

This one-on-one teaching method is very effective.

Zhang Yuan quickly went from being a layman who only knew how to chop and cut, to becoming a knife master.

This made Dong Yuanwei's appreciation for him grow day by day!

"Change your knife today."

The war hall instructor handed Zhang Yuan a long sword and said, "Attack me with all your strength!"

Zhang Yuan was surprised.

Because what Dong Yuanwei gave him was a sharpened goose-feather knife!

The Yanling Knife is the standard sword of the Angry Whale Gang. The sword is three feet and two inches long, with a narrow and straight blade and a curved tip. It is a sharp weapon for close combat.

Previously, when Zhang Yuan and Dong Yuanwei practiced against each other, they both used the same type of ironwood sword.

I didn't expect that they would use real swords and sharp blades now!
Zhang Yuan took the knife in his hand, held it in a salute and said, "Please give me your advice!"

The next moment, he suddenly stepped forward, swung the goose-feather knife in his hand and chopped down at Dong Yuanwei's head.

The knife flashed and approached the face of the war hall instructor in an instant.

Zhang Yuan did not hold back when he struck the target, using all his strength just as Dong Yuanwei wished.

Clang!
The long sword hit the thick blade, but was blocked by Dong Yuanwei at the critical moment.

The collision produced dazzling sparks.

Zhang Yuan's palms trembled and he took a step back involuntarily.

The difference in strength between the two sides was vividly demonstrated through the collision of these swords.

Zhang Yuan was not discouraged at all. Instead, he became eager to fight and swung his sword again to attack Dong Yuanwei's vital points.

Zhang Yuan used all his strength to strike one sword after another, and there was even a hint of the power of a sword.

Dong Yuanwei just defended and did not attack, fighting and retreating, allowing Zhang Yuan to perform.

Zhang Yuan became more and more excited as the fight went on, and his sword techniques became more and more handy.

But because of Dong Yuanwei's constant parrying and blocking, he was never able to truly enjoy himself.

It was as if there was an invisible barrier in front of him that Zhang Yuan could not break no matter how hard he tried.

This uncomfortable and unhappy feeling accumulated little by little, causing his emotions to reach a certain limit.

"kill!"

Zhang Yuan suddenly shouted in a deep voice, naturally activating the second host of the Divine Nest - the Jade Mantis, and adding the extraordinary abilities bestowed by the latter to himself.

At this moment, an idea flashed in Zhang Yuan's mind.

Many of the questions about swordsmanship that I didn’t quite understand suddenly became clear to me, as if I had suddenly understood the answers!
Within three breaths, he swung out five swords in succession. The first to fifth moves of the Zhanlang Sword Technique were completed in one breath, uninterrupted, like a long river rushing.

The sharp sword light covered the sky!
"what?"

Dong Yuanwei's expression changed, and his eyes instantly became more solemn.

He did not take Zhang Yuan's blade head-on, but suddenly stepped back a dozen steps to increase the distance between the two.

At the same time, it got out of the state of head-on confrontation.

Zhang Yuan's continuous attacks slashed into the air, and his momentum was also lost.

I couldn't help but stop.

Dong Yuanwei looked at Zhang Yuan and asked in a deep voice, "How did you do it?"

There was a hint of suspicion in his tone.

Zhang Yuan's five-sword combo just now was as powerful as mercury pouring down the ground, and it was clear that he had realized the power of the Zhanlang Sword.

Its lethality was ten times stronger than before, and even this Hua Jin master felt a little threatened.

You should know that Dong Yuanwei not only has profound skills, but has also been immersed in the Zhanlang sword technique for many years.

Neither experience nor strength can be achieved by Zhang Yuan.

But Zhang Yuan had only learned the sword technique for five days, but he had actually understood some of the sword's essence.

This made Dong Yuanwei feel incredible!

If Zhang Yuan's identity and background had not been thoroughly investigated, this instructor in the War Hall would have suspected that he was the illegitimate son of a gang leader who had wandered away!

"Uh…"

Zhang Yuan didn't know how to answer.

He couldn't say that he acted on impulse and enhanced the Jade Mantis's mastery of intermediate swordsmanship, leading to a breakthrough in battle!

God's Nest is Zhang Yuan's biggest secret.

Even if it was his own mother, he would not reveal a single detail.

"It surprised me that…"

In the end, Dong Yuanwei found the answer himself: "You also have such an outstanding talent in swordsmanship!"

The war hall instructor spoke with some disinterest.

People are so irritating!

Dong Yuanwei put in countless hard work and efforts before he mastered the sword moves and intent of the Zhanlang sword technique.

He became a top swordsman in the Linhe branch of the Angry Whale Gang.

Compared with Zhang Yuan now, I feel like I’m living a dog’s life at my age.

Although he sighed, the war hall instructor did not feel jealous of Zhang Yuan. Instead, he felt surprised and relieved as if he had unearthed a treasure.

"Come again!"

Dong Yuanwei raised the long sword in his hand and his expression became extremely serious.

Previously, he was only 30% serious in his sparring with Zhang Yuan, but now he has to increase it to at least 70%.

As the saying goes, jade cannot be made into a useful object without being carved.

Dong Yuanwei decided to turn himself into a sharp carving knife to polish Zhang Yuan, the rough jade!

And when Dong Yuanwei became completely serious, Zhang Yuan immediately felt a mountain of pressure.

But this pressure did not make him back down in the slightest.

Zhang Yuan held the knife in his hand and bowed to Dong Yuanwei again: "Master, please teach me!"

Although I have never performed the ceremony of becoming a disciple.

But for Zhang Yuan, Dong Yuanwei, who has always taught him carefully, is no different from a real master.

He was respectful, courageous, and then gave it his all!
