Although there were a hundred things he didn’t want to do, Arai Shin dared not defy his senior brother’s orders.
"Mr. Yanagida, please follow !" Arai Shin looked at Xu Wendong with a face full of tension, then made an inviting gesture and led Xu Wendong out of the hall to the open backyard.
There was a wooden fra in the backyard, with several wooden swords on it.
Arai Shin picked up a wooden sword and awkwardly looked at Xu Wendong: "Mr. Yanagida, I have just started learning swordsmanship myself and still have many shortcomings. I hope you can forgive !"
As he spoke, he grasped the sword hilt with both hands and demonstrated the basic swordsmanship of the Yamato Kendo Hall in front of Xu Wendong.
Xu Wendong quietly stood there.
He felt the urge to make a wry comnt.
Arai Shin’s swordsmanship had many problems.
The first point was an unstable stance.
The second point was that the speed was too slow, and the strength too weak.
The most critical issue was the montum.
His montum was too weak, giving off a sense of softness and powerlessness.
Lacking the courage to advance bravely and recklessly.
However.
It was undeniable that Arai Shin was a very responsible "teacher," as he demonstrated the basic swordsmanship of the Yamato Kendo Hall several tis in front of Xu Wendong.
Then he handed the wooden sword to Xu Wendong, asking him to practice.
Xu Wendong smiled and took the wooden sword.
The basic swordsmanship of the Yamato Kendo Hall consisted of only a few simple moves. Although he hadn’t co into contact with them before, he was at least a cultivator of the Foundation Establishnt Second Layer.
He had already thoroughly understood those moves.
Subsequently.
His entire montum underwent an astonishing transformation.
The whole person was like an unsheathed sharp sword, or perhaps a revived prival beast.
He thrust the sword out.
Whoosh!
The air was torn apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound.
This thrust was unstoppable.
It left Arai Shin with a look of shock.
His eyes dulled, unable to believe the power of Xu Wendong’s thrust.
Before he could recover, Xu Wendong continued to swing and chop, each move full of strong montum, giving Arai Shin the illusion.
As if this man in front had transford into a kung fu master.
Yes.
The montum emanating from Xu Wendong was too strong, far more intense than that of Jingbian Yudai.
Seeing Xu Wendong stop, Arai Shin recovered from his shock and couldn’t help but ask: "Mr. Yanagida, have you studied swordsmanship before?"
Xu Wendong shook his head: "I haven’t studied it."
"Impossible!" Arai Shin exclaid in shock: "If you haven’t studied swordsmanship, then why were your moves just now so skillful and natural? Plus, there was an irresistible montum!"
Xu Wendong laughed and said: "Although I haven’t studied swordsmanship, I’ve watched many Great Xia martial arts films. In Great Xia’s martial arts films, although there are distinctions between weak and strong cultivation techniques, the most important thing is still montum."
"If your montum is strong enough, it’s as if you’ve already won half the battle."
"Technique cos next."
"Rember."
"When making a move, you must be quick, precise, and brutal, provided that your stance is as steady as Mount Tai."
"Only then can you use the unchanging to respond to the ever-changing."
Arai Shin looked at Xu Wendong incredulously: "Is this truly the experience you sumd up from Great Xia martial arts films?"
"Yes." Xu Wendong: "Because Great Xia’s kung fu films made fall in love with martial arts."
Arai Shin’s heart could not remain calm.
If this were true.
It could totally prove that this guy was a martial arts prodigy.
However.
Thinking of himself as the teacher of this martial arts prodigy, he felt a bit ashad.
Because he simply wasn’t qualified to teach him.
Instead, Xu Wendong seed more like the teacher...
"Since you’ve watched so many Great Xia martial arts films, can you speak Chinese?" A woman in her twenties, wearing a pink floral kimono with a petite figure and exquisite features, clattered over in wooden clogs from the side.
She spoke in slightly awkward Chinese.
"Miss!" Arai Shin hurriedly bowed in respect.
Xu Wendong raised an eyebrow.
Could this be the Bright Pearl of Yano Yamato?
Thinking of this.
He almost couldn’t hold back his laughter.
Was this a test of my mother tongue?
"I earned top certification in Chinese at fifteen." Xu Wendong conversed with Pingliang Xiangzhi in his native language.
Pingliang Xiangzhi looked surprised, not expecting the other one’s Chinese to be so standard; she politely asked: "I wonder if Mr. Yanagida could beco Xiangzhi’s Chinese teacher?"
Everyone has things they like.
As for her.
She loved the culture of Great Xia.
All these years, she had been learning Chinese, wanting to understand the culture of Great Xia.
But her father held deep prejudices against Great Xia, thus forbidding her from taking Chinese classes.
???
Xu Wendong was montarily stunned, evidently not expecting such a good thing.
If he could beco Pingliang Xiangzhi’s Chinese teacher, it would instantly elevate his status at the Yamato Kendo Hall, making it easier for him to carry out his subsequent plans.
Without thinking much, he quickly said: "It would be my honor to be Miss Kaori’s Chinese teacher!"
Pingliang Xiangzhi was overjoyed and excitedly said: "I hope Mr. Yanagida will enlighten more, and Xiangzhi will definitely study diligently."
"You chat, I’ll go practice swordsmanship." Arai Shin tactfully left, and only Pingliang Xiangzhi and Xu Wendong remained in the serene backyard.
Pingliang Xiangzhi went inside to fetch several books, all related to Chinese.
There were many words on them, with terms she had annotated.
Her Chinese was entirely self-taught, and although she could say a few simple sentences, her pronunciation was not accurate. In Chinese, inaccurate pronunciation was a major taboo.
Xu Wendong transford into a Chinese teacher as well, explaining those annotated words and terms to Pingliang Xiangzhi and teaching her the correct pronunciation.
This greatly benefited Pingliang Xiangzhi, and she was full of admiration for Xu Wendong.
Even the way she looked at him was filled with admiration.
This, however, made Xu Wendong a bit uncomfortable.
Compared to his fellow countryn, the people of Wa Country seldom hid their emotions and would express them boldly, forming a stark contrast to his compatriots’ reserved deanor.
Seeing that it was already noon, Xu Wendong said: "How about we stop for now this morning? Teaching Miss Kaori too much at once makes it difficult for you to digest in a short ti!"
"What does digest an?" Pingliang Xiangzhi’s eyes were full of curiosity.
Xu Wendong patiently explained: "It refers to the process by which an animal’s or human’s digestive organs turn food into a form that can be absorbed as nutrients. The process of turning macromolecular substances in food like starch, protein, and fat into small molecules soluble in water through the action of digestive enzys is called digestion."
"It is also a taphor for mastering and absorbing knowledge."
Pingliang Xiangzhi suddenly understood and exclaid: "A single word having two different anings, the Huaxia civilization is truly profound!"
Xu Wendong shrugged, acknowledging it.
This was the heritage and civilization the Descendants of Yan and Huang took pride in.
This was the confidence that allowed them to walk anywhere with heads held high, proudly and with integrity!
