Their first destination was the sword hall, where the disciples of the Nine Profound Sect practiced swordsmanship. It just so happened that Chen Hongde was a member of that hall, and he explained many things to Tang Xiao and the others.
"Do you use a sword, Junior Brother?"
Tang Xiao nodded to Chen Hongde. "I've trained with many weapons since I was little, but I've never focused on any one, and I mostly fight barehanded."
"I see." Chen Hongde nodded in understanding. "What do you know about swordsmanship? Are you able to use sword qi yet?"
"Yes." Tang Xiao took out a sword and channeled his sword qi into it, making the sword look longer than it actually was. "This is sword qi, right?"
"You're right, it's sword qi." Chen Hongde took out his sword and used his sword qi, but it was much brighter and thicker than Tang Xiao's. "Sword qi is the initial stage in swordsmanship, and there are several other stages after it."
"Can you tell me everything, Senior?"
