Hu Nianshan was indeed not a block of deadwood; his movement technique greatly improved after receiving some pointers from Pei Jinye, and his thoughts suddenly broadened a lot.
Naturally, he was endlessly grateful.
Master Liu and the young swordsman, upon seeing this, both felt their hearts warm with eagerness.
"Ba Dao Mountain Jifeng has seen Master Pei." The young swordsman stepped forward, staring at Pei Jinye with burning eyes.
"Speak of your problem," Pei Jinye said, putting down his book and looking over with a calm gaze.
Ba Dao Mountain was also among the ranks of the Xuan List, even higher than Swallow Barricade.
No wonder he was already nearly at the same level as Hu Nianshan at such a young age.
"Every time I strike with my sword, I always feel a rapid sense of exhaustion..."
"Show me a strike."
The young swordsman obediently demonstrated a slash.
Hu Nianshan and Master Sun exchanged glances and shook their heads, both clueless about the problem with the strike.
