Chapter 907: Chapter 576: Knife Way Master, Thinking of You Every Day Yet Never Seeing You (2)

Now the broken knife recognizes the master, its size varies, its weight changes, making it impossible for Lu Lin to cultivate better.

After waiting for more than ten days, the heavy knife that Elder Long helped find for Lu Lin was finally forged.

Heavenly Saber Art.

Chaotic Wind Blade.

Bright Moon Slash.

Splashing Wind Knife.

Soul Destruction Blade.

Lu Lin had already learned at least dozens of saber methods, yet at this moment felt a hint of unfamiliarity while using them.

Shameful.

Lu Lin felt that along this path, he eventually became a reckless man.

Only knowing to overpower others with strength.

This was precisely because he hadn’t encountered powerful opponents, and many times Lu Lin acted low-key, not being taken seriously, allowing him to achieve victory time and again.

If there were an opponent of equal ability, the deficiency of Lu Lin’s technique would surely be revealed.

Fortunately.

Lu Lin felt a thread of gratitude, fortunate that under Elder Long’s guidance, he discovered this flaw in advance.

Otherwise, if discovered in future battles, the cost would likely be significant.

Not only in the saber techniques, but also in some techniques of Star Power usage, methods of applying Soul Power.

Reflecting upon all this, Lu Lin was utterly mortified.

He completely relied on his own talent and a bit of luck, crushing opponents with powerful strength.

It was only because his luck was good before that he hadn’t encountered any very powerful person, otherwise he would have perished long ago.

"However, it’s not too late to realize now."

Under the night sky.

Lu Lin murmured to himself.

The best time to plant a tree was ten years ago; the next best time is now.

Since he realized it now, he should hurry and practice.

Now that the Seven Great Elders have accepted him as a disciple, he has ample time and a stable environment to maximize his improvement.

In the days that followed, Lu Lin completely immersed himself in the practice and cultivation of saber techniques.

Daytime, night, without a moment of relaxation.

Spring and summer, autumn and winter, without a trace of fatigue.

Living such an ascetic lifestyle, even Elder Long secretly admired him.

Time passed, yet Lu Lin was almost unaware.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Lin had been cultivating in Elder Long’s Cave Mansion for five years.

During these five years.

Lu Lin wholeheartedly focused on the cultivation of saber techniques, striving to understand the fundamental principles of each move and form.

Realized the effects of slicing and slashing from different angles.

Not just the dozen or so saber methods he had learned before, the most collected in Elder Long’s Cave Mansion were cultivation methods related to swords and sabers.

Lu Lin had read through all the books related to saber techniques.

Among them, there were more than a hundred thousand types of saber techniques.

More than that, there were many insights, understandings, observations, and conjectures from saber cultivators.

After five years of honing, Lu Lin’s demeanor became more stable and benign.

Like a massive knife weighing ten thousand jin, yet it restrained its sharpness and weight.

From the appearance, no one could judge that Lu Lin was a Blade Master.

Only with a knife in his hand, would he reveal the momentum and attitude worthy of a Blade Master.

In five years, Lu Lin cultivated over a hundred saber methods, and for the rest, he could understand by merely glancing.

After five years, Lu Lin could definitely declare himself a Master of Saber Method.

Hand him any book, and he could instantly compile a suitable saber method from it.

The beautiful hemp-clothed maid who had been delivering meals and water, caring for Lu Lin had also developed a slight interest in saber technique cultivation during these five years.

Lu Lin casually pointed out a few things, and the maid’s level advanced by leaps and bounds.

This cultivation talent was also noticed by Elder Long, relieving her of her servant duties.

Nevertheless, the hemp-clothed maid continued to stay by Lu Lin’s side, seemingly unchanged in identity, still dutifully performing the work of Lu Lin’s maid.

Later, Lu Lin curiously asked the maid’s name.

He learned her name was Shi Hua.

As for her original name, Shi Hua didn’t remember.

"Mr. Lu, I’ve mastered the first three moves of the saber method you created for me. Could you take a look?"

While contemplating, Shi Hua’s voice rang out.

Lu Lin looked up at the maid, resembling a lotus in clear water, a smile appeared on his face.

Half a year ago, Elder Long changed Shi Hua’s identity from a servant to a common disciple of General Mountain. To celebrate, Lu Lin spent a day custom-creating a saber method perfectly suitable for her.

Unexpectedly, in just half a year, she had mastered the first three moves.

"Alright, give it a try."

Lu Lin stepped back a few steps, handing the venue to Shi Hua.

Shi Hua confidently smiled, holding a slender cold light blade in her hand.

This blade was also designed by Lu Lin based on Shi Hua’s height, weight, arm span, and daily habitual movements.

The cold light blade and the saber method constituted the gifts Lu Lin gave to Shi Hua.

"First move, ’You live at the head of the Yangtze River’."

"Second move, ’I live at the tail of the Yangtze River’."

These two moves were created by Lu Lin based on a poem from Hua Xia. Of course, there’s no necessary correlation between them; it’s just for convenience in naming.

Seeing Shi Hua perform the first two moves, Lu Lin nodded repeatedly. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Although she had only practiced for half a year, Shi Hua’s talent was indeed good; the mastery level of these two moves had reached initial achievement.

If she continues to practice diligently in the future, reaching great accomplishment won’t be a problem.

"Third move, ’Thinking of you every day but never seeing you’."

However, when Shi Hua demonstrated this move, Lu Lin couldn’t help but shake his head.

Poor.

It’s not just a little bit poor.

Being a Knife Way master, he could naturally see that Shi Hua’s grasp of the third move was incomplete, not even reaching entry-level, merely barely able to perform an imperfect form.

Compared to the first two moves, it was on a completely different level.

Shi Hua, who was practicing, naturally saw Lu Lin’s head-shaking motion, feeling sad inside.

Her affection for Lu Lin was apparent to anyone with eyes.

However, Lu Lin was fully immersed in cultivating the Knife Way and reaching the state of transforming rigidity into gentleness, completely oblivious to Shi Hua’s years of affection.

She once listened to Lu Lin talk about the eight moves and their meanings in the "Yangtze" saber method.

Naturally, she could understand, feel, and empathize with the emotions in the poem.

Striving to perform the third move, Shi Hua wanted to tell Lu Lin.

Although I see you every day and stay by your side.

You overlook me, neither seeing nor hearing.

Do you know how hard I’ve waited for you?

Do you know how much I hope for you to notice me more?

"Alright, stop."

Lu Lin said calmly.

"Shi Hua, your talent in the Knife Way is not bad, but the more so, the more you need to calm down for proper cultivation and comprehension, not to rush into actions beyond your capabilities."

"At present, you can’t even fully perform the third move."

"Focus on mastering the first two moves to great accomplishment, then proceed."

"Yes, Mr. Lu."

Shi Hua looked at Lu Lin resentfully, lightly biting her lip, her eyes almost shedding tears.

She desperately wanted to profess her love to Lu Lin.

But she feared.

Now, Lu Lin hasn’t realized her feelings; she can still stay by his side as a maid.

If she confesses, and Lu Lin rejects her to avoid trouble, having understood Lu Lin, he would likely "ask" her to leave.

In such a case, Shi Hua’s efforts would be in vain.

Endurance.

Wait.

She believed, one day, Lu Lin would understand her feelings.

"You may leave now, I need some quiet time."

Lu Lin waved his hand, signaling Shi Hua to leave, then sat cross-legged on the ground, turning his back to her.

Tears fell from Shi Hua’s eyes as she turned to leave.

After she departed, Lu Lin took out his super Message Conch.

"Senior Lv, do you need something?"

"Certainly, Lu Lin!"

Lv Susu’s surprised voice came through.

"I’ve found the Iron Sleeve Skill."

"What?!"

Lu Lin suddenly stood up from the ground.

So, she found the Iron Sleeve Skill, after five years, how did Lv Susu find this skill?
