Zhang Xiaohua nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, Mr. Yu. After practicing different sword skills, my fingers have become quite flexible. When I used to practice once or twice, my fingers would become sore, but now it's much better."
Mr. Yu added, "Don't be too proud, though. Have you mastered the last three variations yet?"
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua's face fell. Mr. Yu was right, no matter how much he practiced the last three variations, he always failed. Either his footwork couldn't keep up, or when it did, he couldn't thrust the tree branch outward. In short, his body was entirely out of sync.
