When the Earth Awakens, I Become the Female Sword Saint

Chapter 25: Beichen Sword Technique

Although she had gone to bed very late last night, Yuyin felt no fatigue when she woke up on Monday morning. Even without considering her source energy, her vitality was exceptionally high. There weren’t many girls with such abundant energy.

Reflecting on her state before her rebirth, Yuyin had been weak, lacking spirit, and easily fatigued. If one disregarded the fact that she had become a girl, Yuyin truly liked her current state after rebirth.

Healthy, always exuding a feeling of abundant vitality, even breathing felt comfortable.

Having obtained the ‘Beichen Sword Technique,’ Yuyin naturally wanted to start practicing as soon as possible.

She borrowed a stick about 1.2 meters long from her physical education teacher to use for practice. Yuyin had a good relationship with her PE teacher due to her excellent tennis skills. In fact, there were swords in the school’s storage for martial arts classes, but it was not easy to borrow such things, and Yuyin planned to take it home to practice, so she opted for the stick.

While this stick wasn’t long for a stick, it was quite long as a substitute for a sword. Yuyin chose this length because the sword used in the Beichen Sword Technique in the God-Eating Chess was also long, resembling a long sword from the Warring States period, but clearly more extraordinary.

After class on that afternoon, Yuyin prepared to start her first practice of the sword technique in a secluded area behind the tennis club among the small trees.

The Beichen Sword Technique, after being recorded by the golden female phantom, quietly rearranged the sequence of the recorded movements, organizing the entire sword technique in a progressive manner. Moreover, when Yuyin focused on a particular sword move, some ancient characters would appear, providing guidance and explanations.

“Let’s start with the basics.”

The Beichen Sword Technique can be divided into three main parts: attack, defense, and movement. Among them, the importance of defense and movement in the philosophy of the Beichen Sword Technique is no less than that of attack.

This was something Yuyin, who had never practiced weaponry before, had not anticipated.

This is a sword technique that integrates offense and defense, and surprisingly, it is particularly strong in defense. The greatest feature of the Beichen Sword Technique is its defensive counterattack.

Swinging a sword to attack is something an ordinary person can do, but they might miss the blade and end up “smashing” instead. However, using a sword for defense is not like using a shield; it is not something an average person can master.

This sword technique has very high requirements for strength, skill, and mindset!

To enhance the ability to integrate offense and defense, the sword needs to be very long, but such long swords are mostly two-handed swords, while the sword moves of the Beichen Sword Technique primarily focus on one-handed techniques.

This is not a sword technique that an average person can use.

Even holding one end of the stick with one hand, it is difficult for an average person to effectively swing and exert force, let alone a real iron sword.

But Yuyin’s source energy value had now reached 87, and after eating a Jade Body Ice Fruit, her strength could no longer be measured by her demure appearance.

Whoosh!

Yuyin stood firm, swinging the stick with one hand, creating a gust of wind among the small trees.

The initial movement was sudden, and the follow-through was stable.

It seemed that this simple swing required considerable strength and skill.

A sword, even a long or heavy one

Yuyin felt that this sword technique was originally meant for men. As she executed it, she couldn’t help but display a bit of a masculine flair, which gave her, who had not fully adapted to being reborn as a woman, a bit more confidence.

Gender didn’t matter; strength was what truly instilled confidence and self-respect.

As for blocking, Yuyin had practiced it tens of thousands of times, and her movements were already very proficient. However, while she could practice attacking against trees or stones, to truly test the effectiveness of her blocks, she would have to rely on real combat.

“Real combat…”

After a week of practice, she could say she had basically mastered the fundamentals of the Beichen Sword Technique; she had entered the beginner stage.

“That’s about it… Even if I spend another two or three weeks practicing alone, my progress will likely be very limited. It might be better to replace practice with competition.” Yuyin held the stick at her side.

The underground fighting arena could be said to be the place closest to real combat in this big city.

Yuyin tossed her long hair, “It’s time to go back, take a shower, change clothes, and then sign up for the underground fighting arena tonight.”
