Gu Bo clasped his hands around his sword and gave a bow to Song Jian, treating him now as a martial artist of equal stature.
Once Song Jian had finished his bow, Gu Bo slowly drew his long sword and thrust it straight at Song Jian. Song Jian flicked his wrist, and with an outward bat, the sword that Gu Bo had thrust was instantly deflected, leaving his chest exposed.
Gu Bo was alarmed. He quickly halted his attack, thinking, "This young man is incredibly powerful!"
At this point, Song Jian's strength was enough to suppress his opponent, but in order to better learn the techniques of swordsmanship, Song Jian chose to defend rather than attack, resulting in a fierce fight between the two.
Outside the classroom, several coaches were watching and whispering.
"Isn't this the guy who pierced the human-shaped mold with a dagger yesterday? He is so skilled!"
"Wang Dan, isn't he learning dagger techniques from you? Why is he practicing swordsmanship with Gu Bo now?"
