Mastering the art of swordsmanship. Learning from the wisdom of nature. The balance between strength and agility.
“You have a solid foundation, but your sword control techniques rely too much on bursts of spiritual power, lacking the agility that a swordsman should have.”
Mo Chen used to give David directions every afternoon at the Sword Pavilion.
He never demonstrated the sword itself; he just sat on the bamboo sofa, stroking the pitch black wooden sword in his hand, occasionally pointing out the flaws in David’s sword training.
“Look at this old bamboo.”
Mo Chen raised his hand and pointed at a piece of green bamboo outside the window that was curved by the wind. “The bamboo bends when the wind comes and straightens again when the wind goes. It looks weak, but it is actually very flexible. A sword should be like that. It should not be too stiff, nor should it be too soft. Only by combining stiffness and flexibility can one maneuver freely.”
David stared closely and saw that the green bamboo that was buffeted by the strong wind looked like it would break at any moment, but always managed to flex slightly when the wind blew its strongest, thereby reducing most of the wind’s force.
Suddenly, an inspiration came to his mind. The Dragon Slayer Sword in his hand shook, and his originally fierce and domineering sword movements suddenly became agile. The sword light swayed like bamboo shadows, sometimes stabbing straight like bamboo shoots breaking through the ground, and sometimes slashing horizontally like bamboo leaves blowing in the wind.
“Hmm, this is starting to get interesting.”
A glimmer of approval flashed in Mo Chen’s eyes. “There are no fixed rules in swordsmanship. Those who are bound by technique are only ordinary craftsmen, while those who understand the principles of swordsmanship are masters. Your previous swordsmanship was too focused on ‘slashes,’ but you forgot that swords can also ‘entangle,’ ‘twist,’ and ‘escape.'”
