Chapter 574: Chapter 211: Cleansing the Five Organs, Refining the Body Martial Saint!

Sword Mastery? What kind of Sword Mastery?

"Master, the Sword Mastery you mentioned, it couldn’t be the one I’m imagining, could it?" Chen Rourou asked tentatively.

Hearing her words, Zhang Beixing nodded. "Indeed."

After accepting the suggestion task of "Sword Mastery to Kill Enemies" last night, Zhang Beixing couldn’t wait to give it a try.

This wasn’t just because he had the foundation, which made practicing the suggested "Sword Mastery to Kill Enemies" relatively simple. More importantly, "Sword Mastery to Kill Enemies" was incredibly cool!

Which boy hadn’t watched tales of immortal swords? Who didn’t yearn for the scene where, with a casual wave of the hand, all swords in the world would obey their command?

Now, Zhang Beixing was about to fulfill his childhood wish: to attempt to bring the world of Xianxia into reality!

He picked up the Wooden Sword and walked to the side.

Following the method he had used to practice "Qi Control" earlier, Zhang Beixing closed his eyes and calmed his mind. The Postnatal Five Qi within him was guided by his will, converging in his hands. Then, through his hands, it surged into the Wooden Sword he held.

In some mysterious way, another link, aside from his physical grip, formed between Zhang Beixing and the Wooden Sword. This link was indescribable, utterly mystical. It was as if the Wooden Sword had, at that moment, become Zhang Beixing’s third hand, ready to be commanded at will.

Could it really be this simple???

Noticing this, Zhang Beixing was somewhat surprised. Everything was progressing too smoothly, like water carving a channel, meeting no resistance.

Normally, this would be a good thing, but Zhang Beixing showed no joy.

Anomalies often foreshadow trouble. Although Sword Mastery was an advanced version of "Qi Control," and for Zhang Beixing, who had mastered "Qi Control," the difficulty shouldn’t have been that great, it still made no sense for it to be this easy. It was like figuring out the controls of LOL and then immediately solo-killing Faker. Even thinking with one’s toes would tell you that was impossible. This ease simply didn’t match the task’s S+ difficulty rating.

Something’s not right.

This isn’t just a little off; this is seriously, fundamentally wrong!

Zhang Beixing believed there was more to this than met the eye, but he couldn’t pinpoint the strangeness just yet. He had to test it personally to find out.

With this in mind, Zhang Beixing didn’t hesitate. He released his grip on the Wooden Sword. At the same time, he focused his entire attention on it, intending to control it through the mysterious link they had established.

But...

BZZZZ—

The Wooden Sword, upon leaving his hand, only hovered in the air for a few breaths, its body trembling twice. Then, no matter how hard Zhang Beixing tried to direct it, it fell uncontrollably straight down.

CLACK—

The Wooden Sword hit the ground with a crisp sound. Simultaneously, the link Zhang Beixing had established with it shattered like a snapped thread.

He had failed!

Feeling the Postnatal Five Qi passively retracting within him due to the severed connection, Zhang Beixing wasn’t surprised. This was the most normal outcome. Sword Mastery was, after all, an advanced form of "Qi Control." Moreover, the System had rated it as an S+ level task. Even if Zhang Beixing had grasped the basics, it was unreasonable to expect him to master it completely all at once. Encountering failure during the learning process was the norm. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

What Zhang Beixing needed to do now was learn from this failure and figure out why he had failed!

First, the technique for Sword Mastery itself must be correct.

Otherwise, I would have failed when initially establishing the link.

Since the technique is correct, the problem must lie with me.

Unable to control it, it’s beyond my control...

Looking at the Wooden Sword on the ground, Zhang Beixing frowned and began to analyze the reasons for his failure.

During this period of reflection, he tried two more times.

Invariably, even though Zhang Beixing used all his strength, he couldn’t even make the Wooden Sword stay in the air for a moment, let alone control it. It was like trying to control wildly scattering horses with five limbs—an impossible feat. The only outcome would be his ’five limbs’ giving way, and he’d end up torn into five pieces by the horses, just like Shang Yang.

My Postnatal Five Qi isn’t strong enough! Zhang Beixing concluded. If his Postnatal Five Qi were sufficiently powerful, he should have been able to do it.

No wonder. Even though it’s just an advanced version of "Qi Control," it still received an S+ difficulty rating.

So that’s where the catch was!

Saying this to himself, Zhang Beixing picked up the sword, deciding to temporarily set aside the "Sword Mastery to Kill Enemies" suggestion. This was primarily because, in this situation, he had no other option. This wasn’t something that could be resolved in a short time. Enhancing the Postnatal Five Qi required persistent, cumulative hard work, and there were no shortcuts to such effort.

...

With the Wooden Sword sheathed, Zhang Beixing sat on the ground to rest, replenishing the Essence, Qi, and Spirit he had just expended.

Chen Rourou, watching him, was somewhat baffled.

What’s going on?

Weren’t we supposed to be practicing Sword Mastery?

How did the practice end up with him on the ground?

Is this some kind of special training method?

Approaching Zhang Beixing, Chen Rourou asked, "Master, you couldn’t possibly be... incapable, could you?"

At her words, Zhang Beixing’s face immediately darkened as he looked at Chen Rourou, his expression far from pleased.
