Chapter 284 Elegant Sword Technique

"This senior brother's swordsmanship is quite elegant, almost like a gentle breeze."

After the swordsman finished demonstrating his sword moves, Jiang Xuan asked the question he had prepared earlier.

Since this swordsman's swordsmanship had some of the essence of the Falling Leaf Spear Technique, he wanted to ask about its origins.

If any discoveries are made, that would be wonderful. But if no new discoveries are made, exchanging experiences on the Falling Leaf Weapon Technique with this longsword warrior would also be a good option.

The swordsman's reaction to Jiang Xuan's words was even greater than Jiang Xuan had expected.

The swordsman did not sheath his sword, but held it in one hand and asked with an incredulous look, "Senior Brother Ling, have you ever seen this sword technique before?"

Jiang Xuan naturally couldn't tell him about the Falling Leaf Spear Technique.

However, even if Jiang Xuan had seen or even practiced the Falling Leaf Spear Technique, it wouldn't be a big problem for him to say that he had never seen such a sword technique before.

Jiang Xuan shook his head and said, "I have never seen this sword technique before. I only expressed my feelings after my senior brother demonstrated it."

As Jiang Xuan spoke, some of the martial artists in the crowd felt that Senior Brother Ling's understanding of weapons was even deeper than they had imagined, and they all sincerely admired Senior Brother Ling, who had become famous in the Five States Martial Arts Competition.

Many of them had previously been skeptical of some of the rumors surrounding Ling Honghe, while others had directly expressed doubt about these somewhat outrageous rumors.

However, upon meeting Ling Honghe today, I realized that the rumors were true; this Senior Brother Ling was indeed an extremely outstanding peak martial artist.

The swordsman, upon hearing Jiang Xuan's explanation, felt somewhat regretful. He had thought that Senior Brother Ling's words might contain some information about the sword technique.

Unexpectedly, this Senior Brother Ling made this insight simply based on his understanding of longswords.

"I would like to ask, where did you learn such exquisite swordsmanship, Senior Brother? As far as I know, none of the martial arts schools in the Five Continents seem to teach this swordsmanship."

Jiang Xuan asked the swordsman with a curious expression.

The swordsman, pleased with Jiang Xuan's words, replied with a smile, "To be honest, Senior Brother Ling, I obtained this sword technique by chance in the desert east of the Qixi Desert. I only had one incomplete page, and it was badly damaged. I searched everywhere for people with superb swordsmanship, and only after guessing and deducing did I comprehend these few moves."

After listening, Jiang Xuan understood the intention of the longsword warrior.

Clearly, the longsword-wielding warrior was demonstrating these sword techniques to Jiang Xuan not to inquire about ways to improve his swordsmanship, as the giant swordsman did.

Instead, he presented this pieced-together or rather, guessed sword technique to Jiang Xuan in its entirety, asking Jiang Xuan to suggest ways to improve it.

In other words, if the giant swordsman wanted Jiang Xuan to help him improve his swordsmanship, the longsword warrior wanted Jiang Xuan to directly improve his swordsmanship itself.

This is certainly a more difficult task, but in the eyes of this longsword warrior, Jiang Xuan is probably the warrior with the highest understanding of swordsmanship that he can meet at this moment and who can answer his questions.

Although Jiang Xuan possessed the complete manual of the Falling Leaf Spear Technique, he had already discovered during his practice that although the manual looked very complete, the moves did not feel very coherent when he actually practiced it.

In other words, Jiang Xuan believed that the Falling Leaf Spear Technique was incomplete and not a truly complete spear technique.

The longsword-wielding warrior Jiang Xuan encountered at this moment, while Jiang Xuan was familiar with the few moves he displayed, included one move that was relatively unfamiliar to him. Clearly, these sword techniques of the longsword-wielding warrior complemented the spear techniques Jiang Xuan possessed.

However, Jiang Xuan's spear technique manual contained more sword techniques than the few sword techniques this longsword warrior possessed.

Upon hearing Jiang Xuan's words, the longsword warrior's excitement intensified.

Although this Senior Brother Ling doesn't seem to know this sword technique, it would be a great thing if he could help complete it.

Although this swordsman's strength was only at the intermediate level of the Heaven Rank, he had defeated several martial artists who had just advanced to the advanced level of the Heaven Rank using these few sword techniques.

This gave him great confidence in this sword technique.

At this moment, the swordsman still held his sword, looking at Jiang Xuan with excitement, without saying a word.

After a brief consideration, Jiang Xuan said to the swordsman, "Senior brother's sword-holding method is fine, and most of the moves are also fine. However, the connection between these sword techniques is still not smooth. I wonder if senior brother has any more sword moves?"

Jiang Xuan was speaking the truth, but he also wanted to see if the swordsman really only knew these few moves.

For longsword warriors, such opportunities are rare. If they had more sword techniques, they would definitely bring them out to discuss with Jiang Xuan.

In fact, not only did this longsword warrior have problems with the connection of this sword technique, but Jiang Xuan also encountered problems with the connection when practicing that seemingly complete spear technique.

That problem troubled Jiang Xuan for a long time.

The longsword warrior already had the answer in his heart, but he still tried hard to recall the time, place, and scene when he obtained the fragment of the sword technique, and to recall if there were any other sword moves that could possibly be combined with this set of sword moves.

A few breaths later, the swordsman shook his head regretfully, indicating that he knew nothing about anything other than these few sword techniques.

Although Jiang Xuan felt a little regretful at this moment, he still made up his mind to help the martial artist connect two of the moves.

"May I borrow your longsword, Senior Brother?" Jiang Xuan asked the swordsman with a smile.

"Of course," the swordsman replied. Hearing Jiang Xuan's words, he knew that the other party was willing to give him some pointers, and he happily tossed his sword to Jiang Xuan.

"A fine sword." Jiang Xuan took the warrior's longsword and immediately felt its weight and excellent balance.

For warriors, the weight of their weapons is extremely important, because the heavier the weapon, the more durable its materials are, and the more impact it can withstand.

This has become an important attribute for judging the quality of weapons that do not meet the standards during the martial arts stage.

Another important attribute is the balance of weapons.

The balance of a weapon is somewhat special. Unlike the weight of the weapon, it is not determined by the material of the weapon itself, but by the craftsman who made the weapon.
