Chapter 427 - 390 Madness 4
"Since you’re willing, then take a few days to recuperate. Once your body is fully recovered, I’ll teach you the family tradition sword technique again," Wang Yiheng’s face showed a hint of joy.
This younger brother had always been lazy, his enthusiasm for practicing martial arts lasted only for a moment. Soon, if he didn’t see significant progress, his interest would quickly wane.
Martial arts are like rowing upstream, fail to advance, and you will retreat.
Thus, the foundation he had previously established rapidly deteriorated, wasting time and energy in vain.
But this time, it seemed like the younger brother had finally realized something and was determined.
I hope he can persist...
"Here is the mental mantra of our family tradition sword technique, which I usually carry with me for memorization. Take it and recite it well; remember to burn it immediately after you’ve memorized it," Wang Yiheng took out a neatly folded yellow paper from his pouch and handed it to Li Chengyi.
The yellow paper was folded into a small square, and its edges were already frayed, clearly having been frequently unfolded and refolded.
"Thank you, elder sister," Li Chengyi immediately took it and solemnly tucked it into his pocket.
Returning to his own courtyard, he carefully unfolded the yellow paper, which was finely written with lines of text that resembled mnemonic verses.
’Like a knife but not a knife, like a sword but not a sword, with advance there is no retreat, with retreat there is no advance. To advance is to focus the mind and lock the gaze; to retreat is to not be distracted by errant thoughts.’
