In the morning.

Su Hao practiced slashing at Instructor Wu's training field.

The Flaming Spiritcrow was practicing flapping its wings.

The blade made swishing sounds as it cut through the air.

"Adjust your condition to its optimal state before slashing."

"You have to imagine that there's an enemy in front of you. What direction are you going to slash your sword from? Can you cut the enemy open with one slash?"

Instructor Wu's words touched the heart of the Flaming Spiritcrow.

Splitting, slashing, that requires an enemy, a target, for the cut to have texture.

During this period.

Instructor Wu demonstrated it a few times himself.

His Leaf Blade Warrior also performed a few Rock Slashes.

Su Hao watched and took it in.

He also understood all the various techniques and cultivation points of Sword Draw.

Then…

The interface appeared in front of his eyes.

In the Flaming Spiritcrow column, the cultivation method for Sword Draw had already been discounted.

[Secret Manual: Sword Draw (5 [9] Intelligence Points to unlock)]

It wasn't very expensive.

Su Hao chose to unlock it.

In an instant…

Countless information flowed into his mind. It was as if he had become a very proficient sword artist who had swung his sword tens of thousands of times…

Wow!

There was an inexplicable confidence.

Su Hao's five fingers pressed together into the shape of a knife. He raised his hand and slashed down.

He was like a cold swordsman.

It hit the wooden pile at the side with a whoosh…

Bang!

The wooden pile shook.

Su Hao froze for half a second. His left hand held onto his right hand and kept rubbing it. Steam came out of his mouth.

"It hurts so much!!!"

There were great feelings with this hand chop, as it carried an indomitable aura.

So…

It hurt like crazy.

Su Hao rubbed his hands and glanced around from the corner of his eye.

The others were all focused on practising their sword techniques. No one noticed that he was being stupid.

There wasn't much of a problem.

His reputation as the star student was saved.

"Yes…"

He suddenly turned and looked at the Flaming Spiritcrow who was learning Wing Slash.

It happened to look over.

Su Hao gave him a warning look. "Hmm!"

Flaming Spiritcrow tilted its head, not quite understanding.

But...

Suddenly, it felt a little cold.

Am I, crow, not a fire-element sprite?

Squawk!

It sank into deep thought.

...

The next day.

In the training field.

Instructor Wu prepared a lot of wooden piles and looked at Su Hao and the other two students who were learning Sword Draw.

"Today, or rather in the future, your training mission is to split the wooden piles. When you can make the incision smooth and complete, you can step into the next stage."

"Of course, you're chopping ordinary wooden piles, while sprites are chopping ironwood piles."

Apart from the Flaming Spiritcrow.

The other two sprites learning Sword Draw were Killer Mantis and Golden-Winged Sky Silkworm.

Killer Mantis had a sword arm.

The wings of the Golden-Winged Sky Silkworm were as sharp as blades.

It turned into a golden stream of light and slashed through the ironwood pile.

With a clang, the ironwood pile broke.

But the cut was jagged and not flat.

"What you're doing is still an ordinary slash. You haven't touched the profound meaning of the sword."

The Flaming Spiritcrow also raised its wings.

Slash--

Half of the wooden pile was sent flying.

The remaining half was charred black.

The corners of Instructor Wu's eyes twitched slightly when he saw it.

In terms of power alone, it was very strong. "But if it can master the Sword Draw and concentrate all the attacks on one point, it will definitely be able to unleash several times the lethality."

"It's your turn now. The sprites are practising, you can't relax either!"

Instructor Wu's two students nodded in agreement.

Su Hao also held the knife and aimed it at the wooden pile in front of him.

It waved.

It slashed down at an angle of 45 degrees!

Pata ~!

A wooden pile fell to the ground.

The incision was smooth and flat.

It looked like it was slashed by a sprite with its unique skill.

But...

Instructor Wu took a glance and couldn't move his eyes away.

"Y-you've been practicing all of last night?"

He wanted to ask if he had learned it long ago.

But thinking back to Su Hao's performance yesterday, him holding the sword and swinging the sword were both very clumsy and unfamiliar. It didn't seem like it.

He also knew Su Hao as a student.

Tiannan Province's top scholar, the one at the freshmen challenge segment who completely wiped out the second-year students, led Whale Island University to win the Sprite Cultivator Cup, became a member of the special training camp in the first half of the semester, created several secret manuals on his own, and published heavyweight papers…

So on and so forth.

In just a short year or so, Su Hao had already achieved so many achievements that were enough to catch people's attention.

How would he have the time to learn sword techniques?

"Could there really be such a monster who can learn everything at once?"

"Slash again."

Su Hao held the long sword and came to another wooden pile.

He gestured.

Ha! Here!

Swish.

The blade reflected silver light under the light. With a slash, the wooden pile broke.

The sword went into its sheath.

Perfect!

Su Hao felt that he was already a mature machete man.

Instructor Wu fell silent.

His two students' eyes widened.

One of them didn't quite believe it.

He picked up the sword and went to the wooden pile. He exerted strength in his arm and swung the sword down.

Crack…

The long sword made a cut on the wooden pile, but it couldn't completely cut it.

It was stuck.

The recoil made him feel troubled.

When he looked at Su Hao again, he seemed to be addicted to slashing.

One slash to the left, one slash to the right.

Slash, vertical slash, forward slash…

The wooden piles were easily cut into two.

Compared to yesterday, he had improved too much.

What kind of tuition class did you go to (╯‵□′)╯(┻━┻!!

...

"You are the person with the best talent in sword arts I've seen. I believe that you must have used all your rest time on practice to achieve such a significant improvement."

That was…

He, Su Hao, was able to have his current achievements because he worked hard step by step.

For example, sword techniques.

What he unlocked was a sword art that matched the Flaming Spiritcrow.

If it weren't for the fact that he used a few hours to hold the sword, swing the sword, and slash… would he be able to achieve what he did?

"If I unlock the profound meaning of one punch, the secret manual of fist techniques, then wouldn't I be able to…"

He thought about it. He couldn't either.

Profound meanings and training methods were only directly transmitted into his mind, they couldn't directly change his physique and muscle memory.

At most…

It was to let Su Hao work ten times harder when he was learning.

It was good that he could protect himself.

"Learn sword techniques from me. You don't have to spend any credits. All the facilities here can be used by you."

In the face of the invitation from Instructor Wu, Su Hao declined politely.

He was just a student.

He was also used to it.

He had already concluded a set of methods to "How to tactfully decline someone's good intentions".

It was a pity for Instructor Wu.

But he taught it more seriously.

...

Two days, three days, four days…

Su Hao kept slashing, and the feeling of the sword became increasingly familiar.

He finally understood why the Flaming Spiritcrow liked to slash people so much.

The moment the blade cut across the meat… Cough, the moment it cut across the wooden pile, it felt very refreshing.

While he guided the Flaming Spiritcrow in its cultivation, he didn't neglect other sprites either.

He arranged for the Dumb Unicorn to train its dodging ability at the assessment venue.

-- Thanks to Su Hao's identity as a member of the special training camp, he could use some facilities in the school that were not open to the public.

He also arranged for the Electric Bear to absorb electricity in the thunder pool to increase its battery capacity.

Of course…

Su Hao had to accompany the Flaming Spiritcrow, so he couldn't go to the various facilities to buy tickets himself.

But what did that matter?

Butterfly was already very mature.

It knew how to buy tickets.

It knew how to type on its cell phone.

It could go anywhere with his student card.

At the same time, it could also teach Dumb Unicorn some dodging skills.

It could also teach the Electric Bear how to control its spiritual force with micro-manipulation.

Butterfly itself?

Su Hao never worried.

Developing the spiritual orb, researching the real illusion… It was fiddling on its own.

When it had a direction, Su Hao then deduced a mature plan based on it.

Quite a fee!

The fifth day arrived.

It was also Su Hao's last day at the training field.

He was about to leave.

He was a little reluctant.

After all, the feel of the blade was too good when the wooden piles were struck.

Before leaving, Instructor Wu said,

"Lastly, I want to test the cultivation results of the Flaming Spiritcrow. Sword Draw can't be mastered in a few days. If you have any questions in the future, come and ask me."
