In the morning, after Keqing washed up and walked to the Training Ground, Yanqing was already standing there practicing his Sword swings.
After Keqing walked over and watched for a while, he had nothing to say.
The issues he had corrected for Yanqing yesterday were not repeated today.
It had to be said, he was truly a genius.
If Yanqing was a beginner yesterday, today he was already much stronger than a beginner.
“Find your own rhythm for swinging the Sword; don’t just blindly chase speed.” After speaking to Yanqing, Keqing also began his own practice.
“In a while, when there is time, I can have the General take you to the Master Craftsman Department to forge a practice Sword.” “Your body hasn’t fully developed yet; these standard training weapons aren’t suitable for you.” Keqing glanced at the training Sword in Yanqing’s hand, a section of which he had severed.
The Sword itself was much larger than Yanqing; the original Sword felt like a Claymore in Yanqing’s hands.
“Okay, I understand, Sister Keqing,” Yanqing said as he swung the Sword.
“Speaking of which, did you tell the General about your Sword practice?” Yanqing’s Sword-swinging motion paused for a split second; the movement that should have stopped at its position faltered, and the Sword almost fell to the ground because of this hitch.
“No…” Yanqing said softly.
“…” Keqing was also silent for a moment.
“Then you should tell the General first that you want to learn Sword arts; don’t always think about giving adults a surprise.” “Sometimes, it might not count as a surprise but will turn into a scare.” “Although the General’s primary weapon is an array blade, he should also know some Sword techniques.” “My Sword style is relatively soft and leans more towards my own abilities, so it might not be suitable for you; most of what I can teach you is just the basics.” “Leans more towards Sister Keqing’s abilities?” Yanqing was a bit puzzled; he knew Sword styles had biases, but leaning towards an ability?
“I’ll just demonstrate it for you,” Keqing said, forming a Sword Finger.
“It’s not that I don’t want to teach some things, but I don’t quite understand the principles behind them myself.” Purple arcs of electricity flickered on Keqing’s body; as Keqing swung his Sword, a blast of Sword qi flew out directly with his blade.
Under Keqing’s intentional control, it didn’t hit anything but dissipated on its own after flying a certain distance.
“I rely more on these Sword qi attacks; for me, Sword techniques are just to prevent me from being defeated quickly when an enemy gets close.” “Besides these Sword qi, all I know is this.” After Keqing finished speaking, a Talisman appeared not far away following his Sword finger; with a flash of purple lightning, Keqing’s figure appeared where the Talisman was.
Casually twirling his Sword, Keqing put it away and walked toward the stunned Yanqing.
“I can teach you the control and use of Sword qi, but the prerequisite is that you need to get the General’s consent.” “Get the General’s consent?
Shouldn’t it be…
getting your consent, Sister Keqing?” Yanqing looked at the Sword in his hand and then at the Sword in Keqing’s hand.
“The Qi suited for everyone is different; for example, I am better at this.” Keqing raised his hand, and arcs of electricity flashed across it.
“You cannot learn this; only after you learn to cultivate your own Qi can you learn Sword qi,” Keqing said helplessly.
The Xianzhou cultivation system is quite similar to immortal cultivation.
Everyone knows a little bit of it, more or less.
Those with better control over Qi mostly serve in the Cloud Knights or other departments.
Of course, there are also some who are free-spirited or dislike restraint, living with freedom on the Xianzhou.
Normally, children on the Xianzhou have also begun cultivating Qi; it was just a matter of how much they cultivated.
“My parents taught me Qi when they were around,” Yanqing said, raising his hand just as Keqing had.
Yanqing stared at his hand for a good while with a more serious expression before a faint cold qi began to drift from his hand.
“Ice?
I didn’t expect you to be such a little genius, already knowing how to manipulate the Qi within your body at such a young age.” On the Xianzhou, it’s already remarkable for a child Yanqing’s age to know how to cultivate, let alone being able to release a portion of it externally like he did.
“Alright, disperse it; just a demonstration is enough.” “I can’t…” Yanqing stared fixedly at his hand; he wanted to disperse the cold qi on it, but the cold qi in his body kept gathering toward his hand.
Keqing also noticed something was wrong at this moment and quickly slapped his hand onto Yanqing’s shoulder, forcibly cutting off the convergence of Qi in the hand.
“In the future, when you’re alone, don’t just try to do this randomly,” Keqing said seriously while supporting Yanqing’s shoulder.
“I saw Sister Keqing do it and wanted to try…” Keqing sighed in his heart; although he was a genius, wasn’t this personality a bit too competitive?
He dared to try things he hadn’t learned like this randomly; he really wasn’t afraid of something going wrong.
“Your practice for today ends here; go back and rest for a while now, and then eat well.” “I can still practice!” Yanqing said with a determined look.
“Yes, you can still practice, but give your body some time to recover,” Keqing said, grasping Yanqing’s hand that had just gathered cold qi with both hands.
Barely managing to control the Qi in his body to gather in his hand, it was already lucky for him that his hand hadn’t frozen into ice and shattered.
Even so, Yanqing’s hand was now stiff.
“Alright, alright, hurry back and let your hand relax,” Keqing said, directly picking up the Sword Yanqing had dropped at some point.
“I won’t return the Sword to you today; we’ll talk about it during tomorrow morning’s Sword practice.” “Don’t think about borrowing one from the Cloud Knights; I will inform them in advance.” After speaking, Keqing took the Sword to the side and began practicing his own Sword techniques.
After Yanqing lost his Sword, he just stood dazed at the edge of the Training Ground, watching Keqing practice.
Not long after the practice began, the Cloud Knights on duty at the Seat of Divine Foresight returned for a shift change.
Watching Keqing practicing Sword techniques on the Training Ground, they couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment.
After going to the dormitory to wake up the comrade for the relief shift, the man stood by the Training Ground and began to watch.
If it were a grown man practicing, they would only be curious, but he was a Strategist within their Seat of Divine Foresight, and the most famous one at that.
He couldn’t help but watch.
The person coming to take over the shift also wanted to stop and watch for a while after seeing it, but since he still had work, he hurried toward his post.
