In the following days, Jiang Shouzhong spent his time practicing swordsmanship in the pond.
From initially being tossed around like a fish, to finally managing to dodge fish hooks, Jiang Shouzhong had grasped some tricks—the essence of which was understanding the word "restraint."
The sword technique taught by Yan Changqing was formidable. Once a strike was made, the flow of energy within the body surged, as if layers upon layers of raging river torrents were approaching. In such a stirred state, one would unconsciously wish to deliver another strike, a more lethal strike.
However, every time he launched such a strike, the Spirit Water Sword would get entangled by a fish hook, pulling him out.
Only by restraining that impulse and withdrawing the sword in time could he avoid the hooks.
Therefore, the purpose of Yan Changqing teaching him this sword technique was very clear—it was not about charging at enemies but about learning to protect oneself first.
