My Apprentice Is Too Diligent

Chapter 14: Sword Transmission

"Born? Reincarnation?"

Chen Wuji played with the jade pendant, feeling its texture. It was much warmer and naturally more expensive than other jade pendants.

It was a bit strange for someone like Xiong Zengtong, a rough man, to carry such a jade pendant with him.

However, Chen Wuji wasn't interested in guessing. He found a hidden compartment to hide the jade pendant.

Immediately, he took out the white jade silver ginseng slice, boiled it in water, and consumed it to improve his cultivation.

The night quickly passed.

When he came out of the training room, the old butler was already holding breakfast, waiting outside the study.

Chen Wuji opened the door, and the old butler immediately walked in, placing the food box down and starting to mutter.

Swish~

Without saying a word, Chen Wuji took out ten thousand taels of silver bills and placed them on the table.

The old butler's words came to a sudden halt.

"This... this money..."

"You don't need to worry about where the money comes from, Uncle Ge. Just use it." Chen Wuji opened the food box and started eating breakfast.

The money that Xiong Zengtong had hidden away was accumulated over time, with the silver bill numbers scattered, so there was no need to worry about being investigated. It could be used at any time.

Ten thousand taels were given to the old butler for expenses.

The rest, Chen Wuji kept for himself, just in case.

"This... this money..."

The old butler's mouth opened and closed. After a while, he stabilized his emotions and said with a bitter face, "Young Master, you didn't sell the items left by the Master's wife, did you?"

"...No."

Chen Wuji was speechless. "Uncle Ge, why don't you believe me? If I really sold them, I would definitely have taken you along to help with the bidding."

"Did you really not sell them?" The old butler was half doubtful.

"I really didn't!" Chen Wuji assured him.

"That's good." The old butler let out a breath and then happily put away the silver bills, starting to count them.

"Ten thousand taels!"

After counting the total amount, the old man's eyes revealed astonishment. "Young Master, where did you get so much money?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly slapped himself on the mouth. "Pah, pah, pah, damn old man, Young Master, just treat it as me talking nonsense."

After speaking, he took the money and turned to leave.

"Uncle Ge, go and inform everyone to gather at the martial arts arena." Chen Wuji shouted from inside the room.

"Yes, Young Master." The old butler responded without looking back.

Chen Wuji chuckled lightly and watched him leave.

After finishing breakfast, Chen Wuji walked slowly to the martial arts arena.

Su Dayong, Han Ying, Nan Jinyu, Chen Yifan, Duan Zhen, Chen Qingning, Nie Xiaoxiao.

The seven people had already gathered on the field.

"Master!"

Seeing Chen Wuji approaching, the seven people called out in unison.

"Mm."

Chen Wuji nodded and walked slowly in front of the seven people lined up, scanning everyone in a circle. He calmly said, "I called you all here today to teach you a sword technique."

"The paths of knife technique and sword technique are different. The differences are small at the beginning but become greater as you progress."

"Therefore, whether or not to learn this sword technique is up to you to decide."

After finishing speaking, Chen Wuji fell silent, giving Su Dayong and the other seven people time to think.

On the training ground, there was silence.

Su Dayong and the other seven people looked at each other.

After a while, Chen Yifan was the first to speak, asking, "Master, can we try learning for a while first?"

"Sure," Chen Wuji calmly replied. "I didn't consider it thoroughly before, and I let all of you learn knife techniques. Whether a martial skill is suitable for oneself or not, one can only know after learning it."

"Some people are naturally suited for knife techniques, while others are suited for sword techniques."

"Different martial skills have different levels of compatibility with each individual."

"So, if you want to try first, you can."

Phew~

Chen Yifan exhaled and when he saw Chen Wuji looking at him, he hurriedly scratched his head and smiled foolishly.

"Master, I want to learn!"

"I want to learn too."

"Um, I don't want to learn."

"I... I don't want to learn either."

The group of people spoke one after another.

Su Dayong, Han Ying, Chen Yifan, Nan Jinyu, and Duan Zhen all chose to try and practice sword techniques.

Chen Qingning, who had become timid, quietly gave up.

Chen Wuji did not force them and let the two of them leave first.

Then he taught Su Dayong, Han Ying, and the other five people the complete mental method and moves of the "Storm Sword Technique."

He explained it three times in a row, and all five of them memorized the mental method.

He also demonstrated the moves three times, ensuring that all five of them remembered them.

Finally, he said, "This sword technique has a somewhat high requirement for aptitude. You need to comprehend the concept of a storm in order to get started."

"Huh?"

Chen Yifan opened his mouth wide. "To get started, we have to comprehend the concept?"

"It's comprehend, not comprehend!" Han Ying corrected.

"Isn't that a bit exaggerated?" Chen Yifan patted himself and said bitterly, "Just by looking at me, you can tell that I don't have much aptitude."

Han Ying remained silent.

Su Dayong, Duan Zhen, and Nan Jinyu were also silent.

Indeed, the "Storm Sword Technique" was not just a little difficult, it was extremely difficult.

To get started with sword techniques, one had to comprehend the concept.

How could an ordinary person achieve that?

For a while, the five of them fell silent.

"Don't force anything."

Chen Wuji took in everyone's expressions and said calmly, "The 'Storm Sword Technique' has a high requirement, that's its characteristic. Similarly, once you get started, the power of the sword technique is formidable, that's also its characteristic. You can try and see if you have the aptitude. If not, you can stop in time."

"Yes, Master!"

With the words spoken to this point, Su Dayong and the other five people no longer hesitated and all responded in unison.

Chen Wuji showed a satisfied expression. "If someone successfully gets started and encounters something they don't understand, they can come to me for clarification."

According to Goldfinger's function, among Su Dayong, Han Ying, Nan Jinyu, Chen Yifan, and Duan Zhen, if one of them gets started, it will increase their proficiency in the "Storm Sword Technique."

Then Chen Wuji will be pushed to passively familiarize himself with this sword technique and improve his proficiency.

Once he has mastered the progress to a certain extent, he will inevitably be able to comprehend the concept of a storm in reverse!
