Chapter 61: Invincible, But It's Lonely... (Part Four)

Could this really be the work of humans?

Su Ping was perplexed.

On his computer screen, the latest TV drama, a wuxia film, was playing:

"My Sword Spirit Beast Girlfriend."

It actually had a similar taste to the movies and novels from his previous life.

Regardless of the genre, every show had to have a romantic element.

However, in this world, there was an additional requirement: every show must feature a beast.

Of course, Blue Star itself was a beastmaster world, so this wasn't too far-fetched.

But...

Su Ping looked at the male lead on the computer screen, a young heartthrob who wasn't as handsome as himself but still managed to elicit screams of 'Ahhhh!' from the viewers in the comments.

In his hand, he held a sword tool with the prominent product placement of 'Produced by Wu Armament Corporation' in large font.

And from the sword tool emerged a female sword spirit, mesmerizing everyone.

Of course, there were beast tools with spirit spirits, but these beasts were known to be one of the most challenging types to breed, along with mechanical beasts.

The Beastmaster Association even had two corresponding subordinate associations: the Artificer Guild and the Mechanic Guild.

Compared to elemental, plant, animal, and undead beasts, these two types were much rarer.

Could a beast tool with a spirit spirit really be made from some metal? If that were the case, the president of the Artificer Guild in the Imperial Capital would be the one making them, not the chairman of this company.

Sure enough, he had no reason to expect anything from these modern TV dramas that were so cringe-worthy.

Fortunately, there were a few highly-rated movies with decent performances.

However, if he was looking for an interpretation of beastmaster swordsmanship or similar skills, there was none to be found.

The general content was similar to the swordplay movies and novels from his previous life, with the addition of some beast elements.

The swords in the protagonists' hands were often of the highest quality, and these movies were sponsored by the Artificer Guild.

Compared to other beastmasters, those who specialized in tool beasts were indeed rare, and to maintain their presence in the entertainment industry, they needed to put in extra effort to avoid being forgotten.

Ancient China's concept of chivalrous heroes and the jianghu was undoubtedly the best vehicle for this.

Shaking his head, Su Ping organized some of the dialogue and lines from these movies, along with some insights on the habits of origami men shared by undead beast breeders on an internal breeder forum.

Only then did he begin his meditation.

He had to work hard and fast, compressing his sleep time a little, but his cultivation realm must advance quickly.

Aside from Qin Xiaoxue's promise to help with the professional beastmaster exam, Su Ping was determined to break through to the Elite rank and figure out a way to contract with the little paper figure without any worries.

A night passed in the blink of an eye.

Another day began.

After a day of training Lin Lang and his own meditation, Su Ping arrived at the side room.

Almost as soon as he opened the door, a spatial ripple appeared, and the little paper figure materialized before his eyes:

"Wuwah!"

It was just a simple greeting, nothing more.

But Su Ping smiled and took out a stack of items, handing them to the little paper figure.

This was a stack of hard paper, prepared by Su Ping when he was plotting to tame this little paper figure.

Paper figures needed to eat too, and their food was this paper.

Su Ping's stack of hard paper was undoubtedly of the finest quality.

Made from low-grade ironwood, the paper was absolutely delicious!

Indeed, the little paper figure tore off a piece and popped it into its mouth:

"Wuwah! (Delicious!)"

At the same time, its face displayed an expression:

()!

It actually looked quite cute with the blush on its cheeks.

But clearly, this little thing wasn't easily fooled, and after gobbling it up excitedly, it turned to look at Su Ping.

At that moment, Su Ping began to summarize what he had watched the previous night and the speech he had prepared during the day:

"For a swordsman, the most important thing is to start with the basics, and for a swordsman, the most crucial aspect is swordsmanship. What is swordsmanship?"

"Wuwah?! (What is it?)"

Looking at the little paper figure, whose eyes were as round as saucers and whose forehead displayed a clear black '?' mark, Su Ping smiled and said:

"There are many techniques in swordsmanship, but the most important ones are the slash and thrust. These are the two most fundamental techniques you need to practice. Once you master these two moves, you can move on to other basics."

"Huh?"

Seeing the '?' mark on the little paper figure's head not disappearing but instead multiplying, Su Ping didn't panic. Instead, he took out a practice sword he had prepared earlier, one meant for performance.

Leading the little paper figure to the garden outside the door, Su Ping began to demonstrate:

"This is a thrust, and this is a slash. The slash that comes out of the sheath is very suitable for a draw and slash move!"

Soon, the little paper figure started practicing.

The error-free version is available on 69shu! 6=9+shu_bar.

However, it was evident that the little paper figure had a natural talent for this.

Or perhaps, after the battle in the secret realm, he had already mastered these sword techniques to perfection.

"Very good!"

Watching the little paper figure's precise movements, which were several times faster than his own, Su Ping nodded in satisfaction.

"Don't think this is easy. I'm telling you, any renowned swordsman's sword techniques are built upon these most basic moves! Only by mastering these foundational moves can you learn other sword techniques later on. Understand?"

"Huh?"

After getting an affirmative response from the little paper figure, Su Ping continued, "Of course, but there's no need to rush. Tonight and every night from now on, you can slowly practice these two moves, aiming for ten thousand repetitions. Got it?"

"Huh?"

"Good, now I'll show you what a true swordsman is like, so you can truly understand what it means to be one."

Su Ping led the little paper figure, whose face was filled with anticipation, back to the living room of the guest room. He plugged in the USB drive containing the downloaded movies and set it to loop.

The story slowly began...

Then, half an hour later, it finally happened! Su Ping and the little paper figure watched as the white-clad male protagonist in the TV transformed into a beam of light.

Time seemed to freeze, and in the next second, the protagonist sheathed his Heaven-Splitting Divine Sword, a Holy Spirit-grade sword-type beast that was truly awe-inspiring.

The entire world seemed to expand, becoming incredibly gloomy, and the sword energy that burst forth was exaggerated to the point of being over-the-top.

This one sword strike, with its exaggerated special effects, was enough to split mountains and rivers, and even open up the heavens and earth.

In the end, under these exaggerated special effects, the giant beast, which had the little paper figure in awe, was instantly killed by that single strike.

The protagonist didn't even turn back; he simply straightened his perfectly neat hair, glanced at the slowly falling snowflakes in the sky, and muttered, "Invincible, but it's so lonely..."

Then, he floated away, leaving behind the giant beast's corpse and the shocked onlookers.

And the exaggerated special effects that still lingered.

"Huh? Huh? Huh?"

The little paper figure excitedly pointed at the TV, even jumping onto the tea table in front of him, his palm already gripping the paper sword at his waist, as if he was about to draw it and imitate the protagonist's move.

Su Ping quickly stopped him. Although he was making money now, he didn't want to spend it on redecorating.

However, it was clear that his persuasive skills were quite professional and reliable, as he had successfully motivated the little paper figure.

Thinking of this, Su Ping breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Alright, to become a swordsman like that, you need immense strength. Even a swordsman like that cultivates with each sword strike. Understand?"

"Huh?"

Without even needing Su Ping's instructions, the little paper figure happily ran to the side garden outside the door and began practicing the thrust and slash moves over and over again.

Watching the diligent little paper figure, Su Ping smiled and nodded, then said the words that he would regret for the rest of his life:

"Very good. From now on, after training for more than four hours, you can watch some recordings of renowned swordsmen and study the way of the swordsman!"

Little Paper Figure: ヽ(▽)ノ

"Huh? (Yay!)"

There's even a reward, I just noticed it, thank you so much, it's a huge encouragement!
