Chapter 132: Chapter 124: Trading Zhan Family Swordsmanship (Opening Treasure Chests Again Tomorrow!)

Li Chun was closest to Zhan Zhouzhou and could clearly see the sword mark on the ground. Her eyes widened: “Wow! Sister Zhan is amazing! Is this Sword Qi?”

This little girl asked the question that Li Zheng also wanted to know.

Zhan Zhouzhou stood with her sword, summarized her enlightenment, and then shook her head: “It’s not Sword Qi, it’s just a special technique that uses the sword to move the airflow, achieving this effect.

If you talk about the principle, it might be closer to the Wind Blade from Western fantasy novels.”

“Wind Blade?” Li Chun tilted her head and asked curiously, “What’s the difference between it and Sword Qi?”

“Well, there are still differences between the two.”

Zhan Zhouzhou nodded and explained, “Sword Qi, according to those novel settings we’re familiar with, the damage is actually caused by the Inner Strength cultivated within the body and then released through the Longsword.

Whereas Wind Blade relies on the air already present outside, using certain techniques to transform the air into a blade and project it out.”

Li Chun hardly understood and was still a bit confused.

Helplessly, Zhan Zhouzhou explained more bluntly: “Sword Qi harms by using the air inside the body, while Wind Blade harms by using the air outside the body, now you should understand, right?”

“Yes, yes!” Li Chun kept nodding, “I think I understand now!”

Actually, she didn’t…

Explaining to someone with no foundation in Martial Arts is quite difficult. Zhan Zhouzhou eventually gave up continuing the explanation, saying: “This move now just looks flashy, but its power might not even match Black Iron Level firearms.

However, with diligent practice, theoretically, there’s no power ceiling wherever there’s air.”

The premise is that the person practicing has enough Enlightenment and physical fitness to bear it.

Don’t be fooled by how easy Zhan Zhouzhou made it look just now. In fact, executing that sword move required her to mobilize every muscle she could and follow a very complex trajectory.

For example, the trajectories between the biceps and triceps are completely opposite.

This completely overturns common sense. To achieve this, the user must be able to precisely control every detail of their body. (I know some of you with wild imaginations might have some bold ideas at this point, just being funny.)

In short… It’s very difficult!

Sheathing her Longsword, Zhan Zhouzhou swayed a bit, and Li Chun quickly stood to support her, asking with concern: “Are you okay?”

Supported by her, Zhan Zhouzhou sat by the campfire and then said: “I’m fine, just a bit exhausted, I’ll be okay after some rest.”

Li Zheng and Phoenix Mountain also approached. He noticed that Zhan Zhouzhou’s face was slightly pale, and her forehead was covered in sweat, like she had just undergone a serious illness but was still engaging in strenuous activity.

After hesitating, Li Zheng saw she was still spirited enough and handed over a bottle of Zhongshiru: “Drink some.”

“Okay.” Zhan Zhouzhou took the bottle unceremoniously and drank a large gulp, “Thank you.”

Seeing the level of Zhongshiru drop significantly in the bottle, Li Zheng felt his heart twinge.

This woman is so wasteful, this stuff is rare!

I myself can’t bear to drink as freely as you do!

But for the sake of what he wanted to ask later, Li Zheng thought this small sacrifice was necessary.

Even though Xiao Ying was tugging his ear hard on his shoulder, he ignored it, which only made the little guy flap its wings and examine the sword mark.

“Squeak!”

Swoosh swoosh~

Whoosh whoosh~

An invisible and silent Wind Blade appeared out of nowhere and shredded the sword mark to bits.

Everyone: “…”

Phoenix Mountain: “What’s wrong with it?”

Li Zheng’s mouth twitched: “It’s in a bad mood.”

Of course, it’s in a bad mood!

There were only four bottles of Zhongshiru, and the little guy begged him for a whole day and only got to drink two cups, craving it desperately.

And now, Li Zheng had given an entire bottle to the woman it disliked right in front of it. How could it not be upset?

Since Zhan Zhouzhou first met and very unreasonably retaliated once against Li Zheng, Xiao Ying never liked her.

Even though they had done two quests together, there was no change in attitude.

“Bad mood?” Phoenix Mountain suddenly remembered something and turned his head searching around: “Oh crap! Where’s my Peppy?”

Everyone: “…”

Li Zheng gave him a disdainful look: “Isn’t your Peppy on you?”

“No, I mean the cat… damn, it seems to still be with Yan Guang.”

Phoenix Mountain realized and ran to knock on Yan Guang’s door, yelling: “Crazy woman, give me back my Peppy!”

The door opened, and Yan Guang, with a cold expression, threw out a white cat: “Get lost!”

Bam!

The door slammed shut again.

“Meow~”

Peppy clung to Phoenix Mountain, shivering miserably.

Phoenix Mountain cradled it in his arms and sat by the campfire again.

Only then did Zhan Zhouzhou and Li Chun remember, didn’t Phoenix Mountain go inside with Yan Guang just now?

How come things went back to how they were before?

After looking him up and down, Zhan Zhouzhou privately chatted with Yan Guang for a few words to understand the reason, and once she did, she looked at Phoenix Mountain with the same disdainful eyes as Li Zheng did at that time.

“Truly single by ability…”

Phoenix Mountain had just sat down and was not pleased to hear that: “What do you mean by that? I just have principles and bottom lines!”

Zhan Zhouzhou smiled slightly: “So, do you also know why Yan Guang is upset?”

Phoenix Mountain nodded: “I just realized.”
