The soaring sword crashes down like lightning.
It was an abnormal sight. The sword path bends without any resistance or delay, and the rushing wooden sword strikes the opposing wooden sword as if drawn by magnetism.
With a thud, a heavy impact transmits to the wrist.
If an unexpected blow is allowed, one must naturally bear the corresponding damage. Nevertheless, the opponent’s sword demonstrates the feat of immediately returning from the bounced position.
It wasn’t a concept of brute strength or rebound force. Rather, it was closer to the trajectory of power being fundamentally corrected.
The secret technique of the ‘Sword Circle,’ ‘Stillness in Motion (停中動).’
The practitioners of Heavenly Sword Mountain (天劍山) often applied this in various directions. I, who learned the technique by chance, had only used it within a limited scope.
But not anymore.
As I regulated my breathing, a strange sense of relaxation circulated in my muscles. Right after, the momentum transmitted through the wooden sword tingles my arm bones. I did not resist that force.
I merely twisted its trajectory.
