Ning Chong knew that the Space Rings were roughly divided into four grades: Lower Grade, Middle Grade, Upper Grade and Extreme Grade. The purple-copper colored Space Ring was of the Lower Grade, while the silver-white colored Space Ring should be of the Middle Grade.
The mid-grade spatial ring is actually just ordinary. So this silver-white spatial ring, although it can recognize its master and increase safety by a lot, can only do so much. If the owner dies and their aura disperses, the ring will once again become an unowned object, easily opened by whoever picks it up.
It was precisely because of this that Ning Chong could easily open this spatial ring at this time.
Without hesitation, Ning rushed to bite open his finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the silver ring. Afterwards, he saw the ring emit a faint glow before a sense of connection with the ring's spirit appeared, and the ring had already acknowledged him as its master.
Ning Chong put on a silver-white ring and then opened it to check out Hei Bao's treasure.
There were indeed many good things, not to mention some gold and silver treasures, Ning Chong also found a few bottles of "Pei Yuan Dan" that could assist in increasing cultivation speed, which made him quite excited at the moment when he was almost penniless.
After spending a moment, roughly examining the items in the ring, just as he was about to finish, Ning Chong suddenly discovered a torn piece of paper.
This roll of paper was made from sheepskin, had turned yellow and damaged, obviously it's been a long time. Ning Chong was curious, took out the sheepskin scroll, opened it to take a look, and found that it was actually a swordsmanship martial skill.
This sword technique doesn't have a general outline, Ning Chong only saw the three crooked and slanted big characters "Baqi Jianfa" at the beginning. Then below was a paragraph of crooked and slanted small characters, the number of words was brief and simple, roughly replacing the explanatory and summary functions that usually come with an outline.
Ning Chong's eyes widened as he read the small print, and he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. His face turned serious as he said, "This passage says that the 'Sword-Draw Technique' is extremely terrifying, requiring bloodshed and claiming lives every time it's used! That black panther was trying to draw its sword during the battle, probably to use this very technique. If it's really that frightening, I should be grateful for my quick thinking in stopping the panther from drawing its sword back then..."
"But why did the black leopard have to save 'Baxian Shu' for last? Is it because it's an ace in the hole? Or is it because it looks down on me, thinking it can definitely win without using it? Or is there some kind of restriction on Baxian Shu..."
A string of questions emerged, Ning Chong shook his head and temporarily put down these questions, focusing on the study of "Baxian Sword Technique".
The text on the sheepskin scroll, "Baxian Shu", was not very long, only about 400-500 words, but Ning Chong carefully savored and studied it, confirming that this "Baxian Shu" was indeed valuable and extremely ingenious, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.
Originally, this "sword-drawing technique" was simple to the point of just drawing the sword and then thrusting it out in one movement, with only one move, one style, and one sword. However, what the sword-drawing technique pursued was speed, speed that reached an extreme!
After this sword technique has been cultivated to the deepest realm, the speed of drawing the sword is so fast that it can no longer be judged by common sense. The enemy cannot even see the long sword, but only feels a flash of sword light passing by, and they are already dead.
That's why the introduction at the beginning says that this sword-drawing technique must see blood and take lives, it is a killing move in a life-and-death struggle.
However, it is clear that this sword technique is monotonous and lacks variation, an extreme martial skill that excels at swift and deadly attacks, with great killing power; the drawback is also obvious, if such a technique fails to hit the enemy, one's own body will be left with a significant opening due to the all-out attack.
"Hmm, now it's basically confirmed that the black leopard was looking down on my strength and also because of its characteristic of drawing swords, it only tried to use the sword-drawing technique at the very end of the fight."
"This sword technique is extremely powerful, but it's too radical, completely abandoning defense and replacing it with the most fierce attack, taking an extreme route of either you die or I die! Such an extreme martial skill is not suitable as a main skill, but using it as a hidden trump card is a good choice, catching the enemy off guard can cause huge damage!"
"Hmm...my current means of fighting are too monotonous and I don't have any trump cards. This 'Batsukenjutsu' has appeared at just the right time, I should really practice it properly!"
Talk is cheap, Ning Chong began to carefully practice and cultivate the "Sword Extraction Technique".
This "Baxian Sword Technique" doesn't explicitly state what level of martial skill it is, but it's probably extremely high, because this technique is more difficult to practice than any of the martial skills and internal energy techniques that Ning Cheng has cultivated.
For several days in a row, Ning Chong stood beside the small waterfall, continuously drawing his sword, putting it away, and then drawing it again...
Repeating the practice of these basic things. Even with Ning Chong's solid foundation in martial arts and a good foundation in swordsmanship, he was now like a toddler learning to walk, struggling to find his way.
Fortunately, that strange feeling was indeed magical. After a little foundation, the feeling was triggered and Ning Chong began to relax a lot, just following the feeling.
Three days later...
Ning stood with his back to the long sword, standing in front of a large tree beside the waterfall, concentrating and remaining still for a long time, like an upright stone without moving.
At some point, Ning Chong's eyes suddenly opened wide, and immediately every part of his body, every inch of muscle moved!
Brush
Ning Chong's right palm moved swiftly and was slapped on his back, with a movement that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye. He had already drawn out the long sword from his back and stabbed it out in an instant, then retracted it just as quickly, returning it to its scabbard.
This speed is too fast! In just a short blink of an eye, Ning Chong stabbed out with his sword and sheathed it again. If not for the fact that the tree trunk in front of him, which was originally unblemished, now had a clear sword wound on its surface, one would hardly believe that Ning Chong had ever stabbed out with his sword!
He slightly shook his head, Ning Chong sighed: "The 'Sword Drawing Technique' is indeed extraordinary. For ordinary martial skills, I can reach the 'entry level' in just a few hours, but this 'Sword Drawing Technique' took three days to practice, with over 13,000 attempts at drawing and sheathing the sword before reaching it! This 'Sword Drawing Technique' might even surpass high-level techniques, it's probably a 'human-grade' martial skill..."
Shenwu Continent, the levels of martial skills and techniques are divided into several grades from low to high: non-flowing, flowing, human-grade, earth-grade, and heavenly-grade. Each grade is roughly divided into three stages: initial, intermediate, and advanced.
The Ning family, where Ning Chong is from, is the number one family in Xuan Yuan City, with strength that looks down on all the heroes of Xuan Yuan City. However, even such a top-notch family's highest-level martial arts and techniques are only at the high-grade human level.
It can be seen from this that if "Baxian Sword Technique" is indeed a human-level martial skill, how precious it is!
