"They are the General Technique, Breaking Sword Form, Breaking Blade Form, Breaking Spear Form, Breaking Whip Form, Breaking Rope Form, Breaking Palm Form, Breaking Arrow Form, and Breaking Qi Form."

"If the Nine Techniques are perfected, then nothing is unattainable, nothing is impenetrable, nothing is unbreakable."

"All swords, blades, palms, qi, and hidden weapons in the world can be neutralized by the Dugu Nine Swords. Once mastered, one becomes invincible and unbeatable!"

The techniques demonstrated by Feng Qingyang were intricate and extraordinarily varied.

The General Technique alone had a full three hundred and sixty variations.

The speed at which Feng Qingyang performed was neither too fast nor too slow.

But this was relative to first-class experts.

In the eyes of second and third-rate experts,

the speed at which he wielded his sword and executed the techniques was incredibly fast. Even if it were slower, the ordinary eye would struggle to see and discern clearly.

Ding Ling naturally had no such concerns.

He was already in the Innate Realm.

Therefore, he could clearly see all the various sword moves.

He neither spoke nor interrupted.

Just silently watched and listened.

After watching the beginning,

Ding Ling had to admit that mastering such Dugu Nine Swords, without exceptionally strong insight, was indeed impossible.

At the very least,

his foundation was as deep as a mountain, yet he still only half understood what he heard.

If it were someone else, they would definitely be completely confused!

Listening halfway through,

Ding Ling had already determined that the Dugu Nine Swords were undeniably a supreme and unparalleled swordsmanship, surpassing any martial arts techniques he had learned!

Getting started was extremely difficult.

To cultivate the Dugu Nine Swords to a flawless state, it would take decades or even centuries of relentless effort and practice.

This was said for ordinary geniuses.

For those prodigies beyond ordinary standards, entry might be achieved easily, but to go deeper, to cultivate to Great Success, and then to a state of mastery, still requires a lot of time.

But for Ding Ling,

this was not an issue.

Even though he felt confused after one look,

this did not affect the archive in the library within his Sea of Consciousness.

Almost as Feng Qingyang finished explaining the Nine Techniques of the Dugu Nine Swords,

Ding Ling slightly closed his eyes.

Then he saw a book condense on the bookshelf in the library.

In an instant,

[Dugu Nine Swords Full Level]

Bang!

An invisible gust of wind spread out in all directions from the position where Ding Ling stood.

A surging sword intent suddenly emerged from Ding Ling!

This sword intent penetrated Ding Ling’s bones and organs, transforming into an instinct.

It seemed ready to erupt at any moment.

"Hmm?!"

As Feng Qingyang was full of surprise and doubt,

Ding Ling suddenly opened his eyes.

Kong!

Two beams of light condensed into two dazzling streams of Sword Qi, piercing the void with a humming sound.

"What?!"

Feng Qingyang saw all this and had an incredibly unbelievable suspicion in his heart. His eyelids twitched violently as he asked somewhat unnaturally:

"You understood it?"

"Yes indeed."

Ding Ling smiled slightly and said,

"Thank you, senior, for imparting such profound swordsmanship to me. I am deeply grateful."

"Just understood?"

Recalling the commotion just now, Feng Qingyang couldn’t help but say,

"Or have you already grasped the Dugu Nine Swords to an extremely profound level? Otherwise, how could you suddenly give rise to that unique Dugu Sword Intent inherent to the Dugu Nine Swords."

The so-called Dugu Sword Intent,

is an intent that looks down upon and dominates the world!

It is like a Sword Saint sitting high on the Cloud Peak, even more like a Sword God traversing the Nine Heavens, unruly and domineering, capable of piercing and shattering everything!

That is why it is called Dugu!

"Exactly."

Ding Ling made a sword gesture with his fingers, opening his palm, and said,

"If senior doesn’t mind, please feel free to offer some pointers."

"Hmm?"

Feng Qingyang was initially taken aback, then laughed heartily:

"Good, good, good, you are a young man of courage and wisdom, worthy of praise. Come."

He also made a sword gesture with his fingers:

"Let me see to what extent your Dugu Nine Swords has reached?"

Just by watching him practice and listening to an explanation once, could he master the Dugu Nine Swords?

It all seemed unimaginable and inexplicable!

Bang!

The two quickly engaged in a duel.

Moreover, as soon as they exchanged blows,

they directly entered into a white-hot intensity.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Although they were empty-handed, sounds of Divine Weapons clashing occasionally echoed in the void!

The two attacked quickly, both focusing on offense with no defense whatsoever.

And most surprisingly, neither of them used high-level inner strength cultivation, solely relying on sword skills to attack!

Even so,

one could still only see the sky filled with sword shadows!

The exchange was fierce and evenly matched, with neither side gaining the upper hand.

But the bout lasted only a moment.

Feng Qingyang suddenly jumped back a step, waved his hand, and said,

"You’ve won!"

He sighed deeply:

"I’m getting old, running out of energy. If this continues, I’ll end up being overrun by you, a youngster. Besides..."

His expression was complex, his voice slightly trembling, whether from shock or incredulity:

"Your Dugu Nine Swords has actually reached the flawless state of mastery! This is the realm I have long yearned for, never expected you to achieve it before me."

He reddened with humiliation:

"So ashamed, so ashamed. Though I am a senior, the inheritor of the Dugu Nine Swords, I find myself less than you in reaching mastery of the Dugu Nine Swords. Alas, the Yangtze River’s waves behind drive on those ahead. Truly, each new generation surpasses the previous! Each era produces its heroes! With a genius like Ding Ling in this era, I have no place to make a fool of myself."

"Senior, you’re too humble."

Ding Ling said solemnly:

"Without senior’s teachings, how could I possibly learn this Dugu Nine Swords? Therefore, senior will always be a respected figure to me!"

"It’s good that you have such a heart."

Feng Qingyang was very gratified:

"Such a counterintuitive prodigy, yet remains humble and courteous, is truly rare. Like Linghu Chong, who with little gain, becomes uninhibited and unbridled, doomed to be a troublemaker by nature. You are different; you lean towards steadiness and reliability.

Your temperament, yet able to cultivate the Dugu Nine Swords to an impeccable state,

To be honest, I had no expectations or faith in you at first. It was just unexpected.

You have achieved so much."

He was not stingy with his words of praise for Ding Ling, lavishly commended him, and then said,

"There are sword techniques of the Five Mountains Sword Sect stored on the side of this cave. If you wish to learn, you may go and learn them."

Ding Ling naturally wanted to learn,

so he went in to take a look.

Soon after.

[Heng Mountain Swordsmanship Full Level]

[Mount Tai Swordsmanship Full Level]

...

The Five Mountains Sword Sect’s sword techniques were all maxed out.

Each sword technique was extremely exquisite.

Ding Ling demonstrated them one by one.

One moment, the sword techniques were intricate and complex; the next, the sword light shone brightly; another moment, the Sword Qi flowed as if it would reach straight into the East Sea; and sometimes, the sword moves seemed to predict the future, striking at places unimaginable to ordinary people.

Feng Qingyang watched from the side, astounded and tongue-tied.

When Ding Ling sheathed his sword and walked over,
