Chapter 365: Why do we need to train to read?
Zhou Ping'er smiled mysteriously and opened "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer". Everyone looked at each other in surprise. Although they had a thousand "black question marks" in their minds, they still obediently picked up their own "textbooks".
Wu Hen casually pulled out a copy of Moonlight Blade and thought to himself, "Let's see if this Gu Long martial artist can come up with some peerless sword techniques so I can show off!"
He opened the book, and a strong atmosphere of the martial arts world hit him in the face. The flashing of swords and the sense of revenge made his blood boil.
"Ding! The host is detected reading a martial arts novel, triggering a unique quest: comprehend the essence of the book and apply it to actual combat. Reward: A random summon card."
Wu Hen's mouth twitched. This system really could cause trouble anytime and anywhere.
He studied it carefully, and exclaimed "Wow" and "Awesome" from time to time, as if he was really in that chivalrous world.
Lin Qiye also chose a copy of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", and the others also found their favorite martial arts novels. For a while, the only sound on the training ground was the sound of flipping pages.
The sunlight shines through the window and falls on everyone. Time flies and the morning is over in a flash.
Everyone put down their books and stretched. Although they were confused, they still had some anticipation.
After all, the Sword Master's arrangement wouldn't be aimless, right?
They came to the kitchen, but were shocked by the scene before them - pots and pans scattered all over the floor.
Seasoning bottles were lying all over the place, and there were even unidentified black objects stuck to the wall. The air was filled with a burnt smell.
This is not a kitchen, it's clearly a disaster scene!
"Oh my god, did Lord Sword Saint blow up the kitchen?" Fatty Baili exclaimed, covering his nose.
"This taste... is amazing. It must be the leader in the dark cuisine world, right?" Wu Hen pinched his nose, looking disgusted.
Everyone hurried to clean up the mess, and Lin Qiye took the initiative and cleared up the mess skillfully.
Wu Hen looked at Lin Qiye's busy figure and was amazed:
"Wow, I didn't expect you to be such a good family man. Any girl who marries you in the future will be so lucky."
After finally cleaning the kitchen, Zhou Ping'er came out carrying a plate of black vegetables. Everyone looked at the burnt vegetables and couldn't help swallowing.
"Um... the plates are a little dirty, I'll wash them again." Zhou Ping'er scratched her head, took the plates back, and went back into the kitchen.
"Hey, what's going on?" Wu Hen winked at Lin Qiye.
After a long while, Zhou Ping'er came out with a red face, her face full of frustration and embarrassment.
He lowered his head, not daring to look people in the eye, like a child who had done something wrong.
"Forget it, I'd better go buy something to eat!" Zhou Ping'er said, then fled.
Everyone looked at Zhou Ping'er's lonely back, then looked at the "textbooks" in their hands, looking at each other, feeling at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
This Master Sword Saint, I’m afraid he’s having another fit today?
"Haha, this Sword Saint is quite interesting..." Wu Hen touched his chin, a meaningful smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Six people sat around a large round table. Zhou Ping'er, blushing, carefully brought out plates of barely edible dishes.
Wu Hen took a look at the food on the plate and couldn't help laughing: "Zhou Ping'er, your cooking skills... are simply alternative works of art!"
Zhou Ping'er smiled awkwardly: "This isn't the first time, just practice more and it will be fine."
He took a deep breath and tried to remain calm: "However, today's training is still mainly based on reading. I just want to give everyone a snack."
"Snack? This...is a snack?" Wu Hen pinched his nose and made an exaggerated expression, causing everyone to laugh.
Lin Qiye smiled calmly, a hint of teasing in his eyes, "Zhou Ping'er, you really have a lot on your mind. But, let me put it this way, this 'extra meal' is indeed very impressive to us."
He patted Zhou Ping'er's shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry, we all understand your feelings."
"Okay, okay, let's talk about what we gained from reading." Zhou Ping'er coughed twice awkwardly, trying to change the subject.
Cao Yuanhai spoke first: "To be honest, I don't get much out of reading. Gu Long's 'The Sentimental Swordsman' is certainly good, but expecting to learn some sword techniques from it is ridiculous, isn't it?"
Fatty Baili nodded in agreement. "Exactly. I watched The Legend of the Condor Heroes. The story of Guo Jing and Huang Rong is indeed touching, but I have no idea what to learn from it."
Jia Lan'er said seriously, "I watched The Return of the Condor Heroes. Xiaolongnu's beauty is indeed stunning, but her martial arts skills are still a bit profound and unfathomable. It's not very helpful to me."
Zhou Ping'er frowned upon hearing this and said in a deep voice, "It seems that everyone feels that reading books doesn't bring any substantial benefits."
"Actually, I know this. But do you know how I gained the power of swordsmanship from the book?"
Everyone was silent for a while. Wu Hen raised his eyebrows, his eyes gleaming with curiosity: "Oh? Master Sword Saint, are you going to reveal the secret?"
Zhou Ping'er took a deep breath, her eyes firm. "In the Forbidden Ruins, I often get inspired by situations in books."
"These insights gradually formed my own swordsmanship."
Cao Yuanhai nodded thoughtfully: "So, this is related to the Forbidden Ruins?"
Zhou Ping'er shook her head: "No, I don't know myself."
"I just feel that every time I read the stories of those heroes, there is always an unknown force in my heart that makes me want to be like them."
"Hero? Then don't you think the title of Sword Saint is too low?"
Baili Pang'er suddenly interrupted, his eyes gleaming with gossip.
Zhou Ping'er paused, "Wu Hen's"
He deliberately lowered his voice, with a hint of teasing: "Who knows, one day, you might become a true sword immortal, leading us to soar through the heavens and travel the earth, freely traveling through the three realms!"
Zhou Ping'er smiled, her eyes filled with determination. "During the actual combat training this afternoon, I will show you the sword techniques I learned from the book."
He stood up and said firmly, "I'm ready. See you this afternoon!"
