Youth Song: Leijiabao Thunder Emperor

"I have always advocated that one should focus on oneself, with physical strength and inner energy as the mainstays. When one's cultivation reaches a certain level, every movement one makes possesses immense power."

This sword technique is no exception, except that its cultivation method is exactly the opposite.

This sword technique consists of four parts.

It is divided into the General Principles of Internal Skills, Body Tempering with Sword Qi, One Foot in Front of the Body, and the Sword Intent of the Great River.

Everything originates from this Great River Sword Intent. It is remarkably similar to the power to move a thousand mountains.

In other words, to master this technique, one must first comprehend the essence of swordsmanship.

However, the process of comprehending the Great River Sword Intent is extremely dangerous; you may wish to try.

Lei Dong felt a little awkward saying those words.

The counterfeit product he was researching was ultimately not the original; it was a process of working backwards.

He was already at the Soaring Realm when he comprehended it, so there was no problem.

However, the requirements for beginners are somewhat demanding. It relies too much on talent, which inevitably makes one wonder if it's too much to ask of Mu Chunfeng.

"This disciple is willing to learn."

"Senior brother, didn't you say that sword practice should be done step by step? Sword moves, sword energy, sword momentum, and then comprehending the sword intent?"

How can we get him to grasp the essence of swordsmanship first?

Lei Wujie couldn't help but speak when he heard Lei Dong's words, his face full of bewilderment.

"Uh... cough cough."

My swordsmanship is different from ordinary swordsmanship. Its ultimate goal is to transform the body into the sword. Unlike ordinary swordsmanship, it has no mental flaws. You'll see soon enough.

"Master, who is this?"

Upon hearing Lei Wujie address Lei Dong as "Senior Brother," Mu Chunfeng immediately asked in confusion.

"He is my junior brother, Lei Wujie. They are all my friends. We wanted to take your boat out to sea. But we were worried that too many people would cause unnecessary misunderstandings, so we didn't all get on the boat together."

"Let's go, I'll show you the Great River Sword Intent first, it will help you with your comprehension."

"Yes, Master."

"Come on, Xiao Jie, cooperate."

Lei Dong said as he walked outside.

"Senior brother is here."

Lei Wujie was completely oblivious to the pitying looks from his companions and followed along happily.

"This little idiot."

"I hope Brother Lei doesn't beat him to death."

"Brother Lei acted with restraint."

"Why doesn't this silly boy learn his lesson? Doesn't he know how petty Lei Dong is? He's even trying to sabotage Lei Dong."

"Ahem, Qianluo."

Xiao Se immediately spoke up upon hearing Sikong Qianluo's words.

"Hmph."

Hearing Xiao Se's reminder, Sikong Qianluo scoffed twice. She wasn't afraid of Lei Dong at all.

Upon reaching the deck, Lei Dong stood with his hands behind his back, facing Lei Wujie.

"Xiao Jie, make your move! Let me see how much you've improved lately."

Without a word, Lei Wujie unleashed his full power. His Heart Sword, imbued with lightning and fire, charged straight at Lei Dong. His stance was truly ferocious, completely following the path of Lei Hong.

"Master Lei Hong's swordsmanship is wide and sweeping, which is suitable for building a foundation."

"Yes, I'm going to draw my sword."

Lei Dong remained calm and dodged a few moves. After figuring out Lei Wujie's fighting style, he couldn't help but speak.

"Come on, let me see my senior brother's sword."

As Lei Wujie spoke, his aura intensified, and his thunderous swordplay was truly unique. However, it lacked a certain depth in terms of artistic conception.

Lei Dong pointed out with two fingers, and sharp sword energy burst forth from his fingertips.

Several more sword energies converged on Lei Dong from the surrounding area, their momentum like a rushing river, continuous and unending.

Upon seeing this, Lei Wujie retreated repeatedly, his clothes instantly slashed open by the sword intent.

Just as Lei Wujie was about to step forward, he saw a great river rise up behind Lei Dong. The river water contained boundless sword intent.

"Mr. Xie, would you like to try my great river?"

Lei Wujie dared not step forward, and Lei Dong looked at Xie Xuan.

"I... I'll pass. Such a magnificent sight is enough; there's no need to take action."

Xie Xuan shook his head repeatedly upon hearing this. Xie Xuan was not fond of fighting to begin with, and it was even more difficult for a scholar to maintain his scholarly temperament; he would never resort to violence for no reason.

"If it were Sister Hanyi, she would have gone straight in without me even having to ask. How boring."

As Lei Dong spoke, he pointed his hand, and several sword energies split off from the great river behind him and surged into Dongqian Mountain.

The great river roars and thunders, shaking thousands of mountains, leaving them to bathe in the spring breeze.

"You can gradually comprehend this sword energy in normal times. You can also unleash it against enemies when you encounter danger, but you only have one chance."

Whether you succeed or not depends on your luck.

Don't call yourself my disciple until you've truly grasped the meaning; I can't bear the shame.

"Yes, Master."

This guy is clearly shameless. He readily agreed, but he won't change his mind.

"Senior brother, could you teach me a bit too? I want to learn this Great River Sword Intent as well. It's amazing."

Lei Wujie immediately came over after Lei Dong finished giving his instructions.

She carefully handed the Heart Sword to Lei Dong, her eyes full of anticipation.

As for being polite, there's absolutely no need for that with Lei Dong.

"The Myriad Hearts Sword is indeed suitable for the Great River Sword Intent. It's not too late to comprehend the Great River Sword Intent after you've mastered the Sword Heart Technique."

I'll first teach you a sword move that's suitable for your current training; that should be enough for you until you become a Sword Immortal.

"What move? What move?"

"This sword is called Two Sleeves Green Serpent."

I've mastered the art of two sleeves of lightning snakes. Your older sister has mastered two sleeves of ice snakes.

What you can understand depends on your ability.

"Watch closely."

As Lei Dong spoke, he reached out and beckoned over a guard's dagger.

Before the guard could react, Lei Dong leaped into the air and slashed at the sea.

Instantly, two streaks of azure blade energy intertwined and hissed as they flew away, growing larger in the wind and transforming into two azure snakes that plunged into the sea.

The blue strangulation explosion sent up waves several meters high.

"Wow! That's amazing! I want to learn it, I want to learn it. I want to learn this!"

Lei Wujie jumped three feet high and nodded his head repeatedly.

Xie Xuan also looked surprised. How long had it been before Lei Dong had comprehended such a sword technique?

The others were also captivated by this sword strike and felt a longing for it.

Hearing what everyone said, Lei Dong smiled.

"This is just the prototype; I call it the Two-Sleeve Green Snake."

Below is the Two-Sleeve Thunder Serpent technique that I created based on this move.

As soon as Lei Dong finished speaking, his knife was covered in lightning.

With a single swing, the longsword shattered.

The blade energy instantly transformed into two lightning snakes, their power several times greater than that of the blue-green snakes, and a vacuum was blasted into the sea surface.

The boat heaved. Everyone on board felt a tingling sensation under their feet, a testament to the power of the blow.

Lei Wujie's eyes widened in disbelief; he was completely dumbfounded. This looked far more terrifying than the Great River Sword Intent from before.

Mu Chunfeng, Xiao Se, and the others standing to the side were also shocked by this sword strike, their faces filled with astonishment.

The boatmen were dumbfounded, especially the steward, who harbored resentment towards Mu Chunfeng for kneeling and becoming his disciple; he almost knelt down himself.

"Brother Lei is now a true master of both swords and knives."

Xie Xuan was equally shocked. He could sense that if Lei Dong went all out, even he would have to avoid his attacks.

"Mr. Xie, you just love to tell the truth."

"Did you remember everything?"

Hearing Xie Xuan's words, Lei Dong nodded in agreement, then looked at Lei Wujie.

"I've remembered everything, Senior Brother."

Lei Wujie excitedly picked up the Heart Sword and began to swing it, mimicking Lei Dong's earlier movements.

I tried again and again, and I wasn't discouraged even when there was no response.

"You silly boy, the essence of 'Two Green Snakes' lies in its spirit, not its moves. What good is it to just imitate my movements? 'Two Green Snakes' is about an indomitable will... Why is it called 'Two Green Snakes'..."

After staring at the idiot for a while, Lei Dong finally spoke.

Everyone listened intently as Lei Dong explained, afraid of missing a single word.
