Fall: Rebirth

The days in the underworld pass by quickly like a flash of lightning.

Ling Han and Chu Heng had long since adapted to this kind of life without any cultivation. They trained hard in the woods every day, using tree branches as swords to hone their swordsmanship.

As time went by, their swordsmanship became more and more sophisticated, and every time they swung the branches, they were filled with sharp sword energy.

In addition to daily swordsmanship practice, Ling Han and Chu Heng would also take time to catch some prey.

Although they had lost their cultivation, their observation skills became sharper. They could easily find the traces of prey and capture them quickly.

Ye You would occasionally show up unnoticed and silently observe their progress.

Every time he saw Ling Han and Chu Heng making such significant progress, a faint smile would appear on Ye You's usually cold face, and he would nod slightly to show his approval.

On this day, Ling Han and Chu Heng were still swinging their swords in the forest, focusing on improving their swordsmanship.

At this moment, Ye You emerged silently from the void like a ghost and suddenly appeared in front of them.

Seeing this, Ling Han and Chu Heng hurriedly stopped what they were doing and quickly stepped forward to salute. However, Ye You just gently extended his hand, indicating that they didn't need to do anything unnecessary.

Ling Han and Chu Heng looked at each other blankly, not knowing what Ye You was intending to do.

Ye You glanced at Ling Han and Chu Heng and said calmly, "You have made rapid progress these days and have learned eight moves of the Shadow Sword Technique. Now I will teach you the ninth and final move. This is also the most difficult move to learn. There are many and fast moves, so you may not be able to see the moves clearly. I will teach you each move slowly. Now, I will demonstrate it first."

After Ye You finished speaking, she slightly opened her right hand, and the branch in Ling Han's hand instantly flew into her hand. She stood still lightly, her eyes sharp and focused.

Ling Han and Chu Heng stared at Ye You's movements intently, looking forward to the next wonderful performance.

Ye You's figure flashed, and she shuttled through the woods like a ghost. The branches in her hands followed her movements and turned into phantoms, which was dazzling. Her movements were smooth and fast, as if she was integrated with the surrounding environment, making it difficult to grasp. Every time she swung the sword, it was fierce, and the branches drew arcs in the air, bringing gusts of wind.

Ling Han and Chu Heng stared at Ye You's movements intently, afraid of missing any details. They followed her movements, trying to keep up with her pace.

Ling Han tightly grasped the branch in his hand, his eyes revealing a determination, and he tried desperately to keep up with Ye You's lightning-fast pace. However, his movements seemed stiff and clumsy, as if his hands and feet were bound and difficult to perform.

Chu Heng frowned and stared at Ye You's movements intently, trying to comprehend the essence of it. He tried hard to capture the changes in Ye You's figure and the trajectory of the branches swinging.

Ye You's speed was so fast that it was shocking. Her figure was as erratic as a ghost, which made Ling Han and Chu Heng dazzled. The two felt that everything in front of them was blurry and they were completely unable to keep up with Ye You's pace.

Soon, Ling Han and Chu Heng found themselves unable to do anything. Even though they tried their best to imitate Ye You's movements, their bodies were out of control and they could not keep up with her speed and rhythm.

They were not discouraged by this. Although the movements were still a little difficult, their eyes revealed great dedication and perseverance.

After Ye You stopped, he looked at their serious expressions, and the corners of his mouth could not help but slightly raise, revealing a satisfied smile, and asked: "How do you feel? Have you learned something from my movements?"

Ling Han shook his head, indicating that he did not master many skills.

Ye You smiled gently and threw the branch in his hand back to him.

Chu Heng couldn't help but said at this time: "Your Majesty, your movements are too fast. We can't see clearly, let alone learn." There was a hint of helplessness and grievance in his tone, like a child who had suffered grievances.

"It's okay." Ye You raised the corner of his mouth and said softly: "This set of swordsmanship is originally based on speed. It's normal that you can't keep up with it for the first time. As long as you practice more, you will definitely be able to master it."

After saying that, Ye You waved his fingers gently, and a sharp light flashed across the sky, and a branch of a big tree in front of him fell down.

Ye You waved her hand casually, and the branch fell steadily into her hand.

Ye You held the branch in his hand and said softly, "Pay attention to my steps and gestures."

After saying this, her body moved slightly, and the branch in her hand began to dance as well.

Ye You moved very slowly, allowing Ling Han and Chu Heng to clearly see her every move.

Ling Han and Chu Heng watched Ye You's movements intently, observing carefully and following along. Their eyes were fixed on Ye You, trying to remember the details and key points of every movement.

As Ye You's movements became faster and faster, Ling Han and Chu Heng gradually caught up with the rhythm.

Although their movements were still a little unfamiliar, they were able to complete a whole set of movements.

Finally, Ye You's speed returned to normal, and Ling Han and Chu Heng finally completed a drill.

With their amazing memory, Ling Han and Chu Heng basically memorized all the movements after practicing with Ye You in slow motion. Although they were not proficient enough, they already had a preliminary impression.

Ye You glanced at Ling Han and Chu Heng and asked softly, "Do you remember the movements?" Her voice was not loud, but it carried an inexplicable pressure that made people dare not slack off.

Ling Han and Chu Heng looked at each other and nodded, indicating that they had memorized the movements. Both of them looked very serious, and it was obvious that they took Ye You's teachings very seriously.

"Okay, then practice on your own." Ye You said lightly.

Ling Han and Chu Heng began to practice alone. They waved the branches according to the movements they remembered. Although their movements were a bit stiff, they were full of power. Every time they waved the branches, they could bring up a gust of wind, as if they were going to tear the air apart.

While practicing, Ling Han recalled the key points that Ye You had explained. He found that these movements seemed simple, but in fact contained infinite variations. Only through continuous practice could one truly grasp the essence of them.

Chu Heng was practicing with a serious look on his face, and his movements were even more standard than Ling Han's.

Time passed silently, and sweat began to appear on Ling Han and Chu Heng's foreheads, but they did not stop holding the branches in their hands and continued to wave them with concentration.

Ye You stood by and quietly observed every move of Ling Han and Chu Heng, occasionally pointing out their shortcomings, occasionally holding their hands, instructing them on how to adjust their posture and strength, and personally demonstrating the correct movements. Her voice was low and gentle, with a reassuring power.

Ye You's guidance made Ling Han and Chu Heng's swordsmanship more and more powerful. Every swing of the sword seemed to carry the strength in their hearts, full of determination and resolve.

Their swordsmanship became more and more proficient and their movements became more and more coherent.

Ling Han's eyes were focused and determined, and every time he swung his sword, he was filled with an air of perseverance. His swordsmanship was as natural as flowing water, and every time he swung his sword, his body rotated, and the branches drew beautiful arcs in the air.

As time passed, Ling Han's swordsmanship became more and more fluent, as if it had been integrated into his soul.

Chu Heng showed a lively temperament, his steps were light, like a flexible monkey. His swordsmanship was full of changes, making it difficult to predict. His branches were waving in the air, sometimes as dense as a storm, sometimes as gentle as a breeze.

There was a hint of relief in Ye You's eyes. He knew that the two children had begun to master the essence of swordsmanship.

"Good!" Ye You finally said, "Next, you should try to integrate more strength into your swordsmanship. Remember, swordsmanship is not only a display of skills, but also an expression of your state of mind. Only when your state of mind is integrated with your swordsmanship can you exert its true power."

Ling Han and Chu Heng looked at each other, excitement gleaming in their eyes.

Ye You looked at the progress of Ling Han and Chu Heng with joy in his eyes, as if he saw two bright stars rising.

Then, she waved her hand gestures, unlocking the seals on Ling Han and Chu Heng, and restoring their cultivation.

"Master, what are you doing..." Ling Han asked cautiously, his voice trembling a little, obviously surprised and confused by Ye You's behavior.

Ye You glanced at Ling Han lightly, a sly smile flashed in his eyes, and he said: "From now on, I will no longer seal your cultivation. However, you must learn to use your own strength to bring this sword technique to its full potential."

After saying that, Ye You turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared from the spot in an instant, leaving behind only Ling Han and Chu Heng, who were delighted with the recovery of their cultivation.

From that day on, Ling Han and Chu Heng began to practice even harder. They practiced the swordsmanship that Ye You taught them over and over again, constantly trying to integrate their own cultivation with the swordsmanship.

As time went by, their swordsmanship gradually reached the level of perfection.

Every time they swung their swords, Ling Han and Chu Heng could feel an unprecedented power surging in their hearts.

Their sword intent became more and more fierce, and their sword skills became more and more exquisite. Each sword contained unparalleled power, as if it could cut through all obstacles between heaven and earth.

After practicing day after day, Ling Han and Chu Heng's swordsmanship has reached a new height. Their strength has been greatly improved, and even Ye You was amazed.

One day, when they were practicing in the woods, a ferocious monster suddenly attacked.

This monster was huge, had a ferocious face, and exuded a powerful aura. Its appearance instantly made the atmosphere around it tense.

Ling Han and Chu Heng looked at each other, with a hint of determination in their eyes. They knew that facing such a powerful monster, running away was no longer an option.

Ling Han took a deep breath, his eyes became extremely sharp. He held the hilt of the sword with both hands, squatted slightly, and prepared for the upcoming battle.

Chu Heng stood behind Ling Han, watching the monster's every move vigilantly. He held the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, leaning forward slightly, ready to support Ling Han at any time.

Ling Han's forehead was slightly sweaty, his heartbeat accelerated, and the tense atmosphere made his breathing quicken. His eyes were full of determination and resoluteness, he knew that this might be a life-and-death battle between him and Chu Heng.

The monster glared at Ling Han and let out a low roar, as if to provoke him.

Ling Han showed a sneer on his face, his eyes revealed his disdain for the monster. He took a deep breath, his figure flashed, and he rushed towards the monster like a ghost, and the sword in his hand was unleashed like a storm.

His swordsmanship was like a flash of lightning, swift and fierce, with a fierce sword energy. Every sword carried endless power, as if to tear the whole world apart.

Under Ling Han's cover, Chu Heng attacked the monster from behind. His swordsmanship was as flexible as a snake, and the sword flashed with cold light, carrying a cunning aura. His swordsmanship was sometimes fake and sometimes real, making the monster unpredictable.

The monster felt the threat from Ling Han and Chu Heng. It let out an angry roar and pounced towards Ling Han like a cannonball.

Ling Han dodged flexibly and then stabbed the monster's eyes with his sword. The monster's eyes were injured by Ling Han's sword energy, and blood flowed out. It roared in pain, and the sound resounded through the sky.

The monster was beaten back by Ling Han and Chu Heng's swordsmanship, with deep and shallow wounds constantly left on its body, like a dead tree eroded by wind and rain. But it did not give up resistance, but fought back more and more frantically.

It opened its bloody mouth and spit out black smoke, trying to block the attacks of Ling Han and Chu Heng.

Ling Han and Chu Heng were not frightened by the monster's counterattack. They gritted their teeth and continued to display their fierce sword skills. Their sword skills became more and more proficient, and their cooperation became more and more tacit, like two shooting stars with tacit cooperation.

The monster's body was covered with scars under the attacks of Ling Han and Chu Heng, but it still resisted tenaciously.

Ling Han and Chu Heng's cooperation became more and more tacit, and their swordsmanship was as smooth as flowing water.

Ling Han's swordsmanship became more and more fierce, and Chu Heng's swordsmanship became more and more flexible. The two swordsmanship coordinated with each other, making the monster's defense more and more difficult, like a candle flame swaying in the wind.

In the end, Ling Han and Chu Heng's swordsmanship hit the monster's vital points at the same time, and the monster's body fell down weakly like a falling meteor.

Ling Han and Chu Heng stood in front of the monster's corpse and smiled with satisfaction.

Ye You had long been hiding at the top of a big tree, with her hands behind her back, her eyes deep and sharp, looking down at every move below. When she saw Ling Han and Chu Heng cooperate tacitly to defeat the monster, a trace of relief flashed in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

Her figure quietly disappeared from the treetops, and then reappeared in front of Ling Han and Chu Heng like a ghost.

Ling Han quickly stepped forward, his eyes full of surprise, and shouted excitedly: "Master."

Chu Heng also stepped forward quickly, his face full of joy, his eyes shining with worship, and he shouted respectfully: "God."

Ye You glanced at the monster lying on the ground, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly: "Yes, now both of you have used the sword skills taught by me very well."

Hearing Ye You's praise, Ling Han and Chu Heng were as happy as children, their smiles were as bright as the sun, and they couldn't hide the smiles on their faces.

Ling Han said excitedly: "Thank you for the compliment, Master!"

Chu Heng also said excitedly: "It's all thanks to the Divine Master's good teaching!"

"However, this is just the beginning." Ye You changed the subject, his eyes became serious, and continued: "In the six realms, there are many powerful monsters. You still need to practice hard to protect yourself."

Ling Han and Chu Heng nodded at the same time, with a hint of determination in their eyes. They knew that the road ahead was still long and they needed to keep working hard to survive in this world.
