"Remember what I used to tell you," a true swordsman should reach a level where every move is deadly.
That is to say, the moment you draw your sword, every move you make should be aimed at bringing your opponent to his demise.
Swordsmanship isn't about fancy, beautiful poses, it's about speed!
Whoever moves faster will win!
So, your movements need to be faster than anyone else's, fast enough that the opponent cannot retaliate, fast enough that the opponent cannot react.
Cultivating rapid swordsmanship isn't just about using your eyes.
Because your eyes can't watch everything at once, you need your eyes, ears, nose, and all of your skin—that is, every part of your body—to simultaneously sense movements from all around.
Only then can you sense danger at the first moment, and use your swordsmanship in time…"
Yun Shangyuan massaged her sore shoulders and arms while he spoke enthusiastically.
