Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 752 - 726 Yin Yang Sword
Chapter 752: Chapter 726 Yin Yang Sword
Spending the day together, Tangyu and Xiaobai had become friends who could talk about almost anything.
Meeting the right person at the right time and place can sometimes be a miracle, a kind of fate. Making friends is like that, sometimes it doesn’t require a long acquaintance; when the feeling is right, even a glance can mean more than several years.
"Tangyu, I have a set of swordsmanship that I feel is very suited for you. Let me pass it on to you," Xiaobai said.
Tangyu immediately smiled and nodded, "Good, good, Sister Bai, you’re even closer to me than my own sister."
As for Tangyu’s occasional jesting, Xiaobai just smiled and in her hand appeared two swords, both thin and flexible. Such swords were generally more suitable for women. Xiaobai threw one to Tangyu, who casually flicked the sword, producing a series of ’swoosh swoosh swoosh’ sounds. Indeed, using such a light sword felt somewhat awkward for Tangyu.
Xiaobai said, "Tangyu, don’t underestimate this sword. The Yin Yang Sword Technique is best used with this kind of light sword. Yin Yang represents both hardness and softness. The softest sword can become the hardest sword. The integration of hardness and softness, the combination of Yin and Yang, this is the artistic conception of a path of swordsmanship. Once you’ve mastered it, its power is boundless."
It was then that Tangyu realized, there were deeper principles behind this. After pondering for a moment, he quickly understood.
"Tangyu, watch carefully, I will demonstrate it for you once," Xiaobai said, and after she finished speaking her body flew out like a Fairy descending from the heavens, her sword also coming to life. At that moment, Xiaobai was like a Fairy dancing gracefully, making her swordsmanship breathtakingly beautiful. Paired with her fairy-like figure, it was so beautiful that it took Tangyu’s breath away, stunning him as he fixated his gaze on Xiaobai.
As for the sword techniques, he had no inclination to watch them.
After Xiaobai finished demonstrating, she walked over to Tangyu who was still dazed and with a slight frown asked, "Tangyu, did you see it clearly?"
"I did," Tangyu hastily swallowed and reluctantly moved his gaze away from Sister Bai, "It was too beautiful, truly beautiful, a beauty that reaches deep into the soul, a beauty that could imprint a permanent mark."
"Alright, now you try it according to your understanding for me to see, let’s see how good your comprehension is," Xiaobai said.
"Ah—Sister Bai, you meant the sword technique. Cough, well, that—I didn’t see it clearly," Tangyu suddenly said.
Xiaobai looked at Tangyu with a mix of annoyance and amusement, shook her head and said, "Take it seriously, focus on what you’re suppose to focus on. I’ll demonstrate it once more, and if you don’t watch properly this time, I won’t pass it on to you."
Tangyu felt quite wronged. Wasn’t he looking where he was supposed to look? Every part of you is worth watching.
But seeing that Sister Bai seemed really annoyed, Tangyu didn’t dare to be careless any longer and quickly became spirited, "Right, Sister Bai, I will definitely watch very carefully this time. You must pass on this Yin Yang Sword Technique to me, I’m counting on it to make a name for myself in the world."
"Enough chit-chat, just watch closely," Xiaobai said.
After speaking, Xiaobai once again executed the movements, and this time, Tangyu didn’t dare to take any of it lightly and watched attentively.
"Hardness contained within softness, softness within hardness, the two blending seamlessly. Seemingly hard yet not hard, seemingly soft yet not soft. Yin and Yang bring prosperity, the Five Elements Complement each other, generating all things—it’s exquisite. So exquisite, there’s actually such an exquisite set of swordsmanship and it even pushes the utilization of Spiritual Immortal Power to an extreme. Mastering this swordsmanship could entirely enable one to overcome higher ranked adversaries," Tangyu marveled inwardly, and joy filled his heart. He truly had stumbled upon yet another wonderful thing.
Strength was the most important thing. Anything capable of rapidly enhancing one’s strength was indeed something Tangyu yearned for immeasurably.
Tangyu had always practiced the Tai Chi Method, and thus had a considerable understanding of the Yin Yang Path. Grasping the technique now went smoothly, far from being difficult, and in fact it made him even more familiar with the concept of Yin and Yang. The Yin Yang Path is indeed an aspect of Great Dao.
And Tangyu himself, possessing the Pure Yang Body, further resonated with the Yin Yang Path, making the cultivation like a fish in water, much easier for him than for others.
After the demonstration, Xiaobai gave Tangyu a look but said nothing, simply stepping aside.
Images of the prior demonstration were flickering in Tangyu’s mind, and suddenly he too moved. His sword thrust floated out gently and soundlessly, as if a feather was softly landing. Though it seemed fragile, its power was frighteningly tremendous.
The force of the sword changed suddenly, filled with Spiritual Immortal Power, it became rigid and issued a roaring chain of sword cries, with an overwhelming momentum. With one stroke, it stirred the heavens and earth, like a gust sweeping through fallen leaves, and a series of explosive noises echoed in the air.
Yin and Yang merged, one still, the other moving, one hard, the other soft. They combined and varied at will, making the sword force elusive and unpredictable.
Exquisite, indeed exceedingly exquisite.
Tangyu was overjoyed, for he truly felt the power of the Yin Yang Sword Technique, and it was astonishing. Tangyu was now certain that once he mastered this Yin Yang Sword Technique, even when facing a master of the Ninth Layer of the Innate Realm, he would not be fearful and actually possessed quite a bit of confidence in winning the fight.
Seeing that Tangyu had managed to perform a semblance of the technique, a few flashes of surprise flickered in Xiaobai’s eyes.
After practicing for a while, Tangyu stopped and said, "Sister Bai, there are many places that are still rough and hard to understand. Could you point them out to me? Eh, Sister Bai, why are you looking at me silently? Was the way I brandished the sword just now super cool? I have a phone here; how about you take a few photos of me? I’ve never seen what I look like wielding a sword."
"..." Xiaobai then withdrew her gaze and said, "Indeed, as I thought, this Yin Yang Sword Technique suits you extremely well. It’s like a duck takes to water for you. Just by watching me perform it once, you’ve managed to grasp thirty percent of its essence. To call you a ’genius’ is by no means an exaggeration. Your talent is truly exceptional. When I was learning this sword technique, it took me quite some time just to barely grasp the basics, far inferior to you."
Beaming with the praise from Sister Bai, Tangyu couldn’t help but grin and say, "To say I’m a genius, well, that’s true; I can’t deny it. But Sister Bai, don’t put it that way. At least for now, you are much, much more formidable than I am. I need to hasten my steps to catch up with you. Hmm, I believe that one day, I will indeed catch up to you, Sister Bai."
Xiaobai’s brows furrowed slightly; that ’catch up’ carried quite the ambiguity. Moreover, looking at this guy, Xiaobai felt Tangyu definitely said it on purpose. But for some reason, seeing Tangyu’s face, she found it difficult to get angry. After considering it, she decided to pretend she hadn’t heard it.
"Enough talk; I will perform it slowly again for you. I’ve noted the rough spots you had, and I will demonstrate them to you in detail," Xiaobai said.
With a smirk in his heart, Tangyu had deliberately made a flirtatious remark, not expecting Sister Bai to stay calm. Could this possibly indicate that he had a chance with her?
This made Tangyu itch with curiosity. To chase or not to chase?
MISSING this opportunity, who knows when the next one would come. But to chase now—Tangyu shook his head. His own strength was too weak, pursuing Sister Bai would be like a toad lusting after swan meat, wouldn’t it?
Tangyu didn’t want to be looked down upon, and he had his pride too. If one day his strength surpassed Sister Bai’s, there would be no hesitation whatsoever.
Time flew by, and before he knew it, two days had passed.
In those two days, other than sleeping, Tangyu spent all of his time with Sister Bai, practicing the Yin Yang Sword Technique.
"Tangyu, your Yin Yang Sword Technique has now reached a certain level of maturity. All that’s lacking is some refinement through actual combat. Even after you break through to the Earthly Realm, it will still be quite useful at the lower levels. To achieve this level in less than three days is truly extraordinary. For someone else, it might take ten years to reach this standard. Here, take this sword," said Xiaobai.
Tangyu smiled broadly and replied, "Then I guess I can be proud of myself, right? Hehe, never mind, it’s better to be modest. This sword, well, Sister Bai, I won’t be shy about accepting it. Having this sword by my side will remind me of you in the future, hehe."
Xiaobai raised an eyebrow and glanced at Tangyu.
Xiaoqing and Liang Youshan came over, and Tangyu looked at Liang Youshan, who had finally woken up. His awakening meant it was time for them to leave. The thought of leaving indeed made Tangyu reluctant. However, realizing that he could often come back for visits, he felt at ease, as it was only a half-day journey to Myriad Saints Valley from here.
As soon as Liang Youshan arrived, he boasted triumphantly to Tangyu, "Haha, Tangyu, I’ve struck it lucky! I couldn’t believe that when I woke from my sleep, I had already broken through to the Sixth Layer of the Innate Realm. Haha, I’ve suddenly become one of the top experts in the Outer Sect. Xiaoqing is just too good to me; I’m so grateful, I would willingly devote myself to her."
Without hesitation, Xiaoqing kicked Liang Youshan angrily and said, "Go to hell, you pig-headed slob, don’t disgust me."
Liang Youshan turned to Tangyu and asked, "Tangyu, have you also reached the Sixth Layer of the Innate Realm?"
"Not exactly," Tangyu shook his head.
Liang Youshan frowned and said, "It’s fine if you haven’t. One can’t rush fortune and fate; there will be other opportunities."
"I’ve only reached the Eighth Layer of the Innate Realm," Tangyu said, not wanting to deflate Liang Youshan’s proud moment.
"Ah—" Liang Youshan was devastated, performing a gesture as if he were spitting blood, "Brother, I’m bowing down to you. How come you’re so awesome? Absolutely epic. From now on, I’m your man. Ahem, wrong words, I mean, I’ll follow you from now on, steadfastly seeking your support."
Seeing this shameless display, Tangyu felt like giving him a kick, but Xiaoqing fulfilled his wish by sending Liang Youshan tumbling with a kick, scolding, "Scum."
Unfazed, Liang Youshan dusted off his buttocks and scooted closer.
"Sister Bai, Xiaoqing, we won’t make any more lengthy thanks. We will forever remember this favor. We’ve imposed on you for quite a while, and it’s time for us to take our leave," Tangyu said.
Xiaobai nodded with a smile, "Whenever you have time, come over for a visit. We are always welcoming you. Since you two seem to enjoy drinking, take a bottle each as a parting gift."
