Chapter 126: The Third Princess’s Visit! Arrangements for the Moonlight Sacred Spring [1]

At this moment, Noah was practicing a set of basic sword techniques by himself. Although his movements could hardly be described as magnificent, every swing was extremely serious. Whether it was the angle of his strikes or the movement of his feet, he maintained a remarkably steady rhythm.

Victor stood nearby and watched for a while before suddenly speaking.

"Move your right foot another half step forward."

Hearing this voice, Noah stopped moving. When he turned and saw Victor, he hurriedly withdrew his sword and bowed.

"Young Master!"

"No need to stop."

Victor walked to the edge of the training ground and gestured with his hand.

"Keep practicing."

Noah hesitated briefly before resuming his stance and swinging his longsword according to his previous rhythm.

Whoosh!

The blade sliced through the air, producing a low whistling sound.

Victor observed him for a moment before pointing toward his right shoulder.

"Relax this part a little. You’re practicing swordsmanship, not competing with an enemy to see who can grip their sword harder. Keeping your shoulders too tense will only make your movements stiff."

Hearing this, Noah adjusted his posture according to Victor’s instructions.

When he swung his longsword again, his previously somewhat rigid movements became noticeably smoother. Even the speed of his strike was slightly faster than before.

"How does it feel?"

"It seems... it really is much easier!" A trace of surpris flashed through Noah’s eyes.

Victor smiled faintly.

"Sword Heart can improve your comprehension of swordsmanship, but that doesn’t mean you can neglect the fundamentals. The more talented a swordsman is, the more he should understand the importance of mastering the basics."

"Understood, Young Master!" Noah nodded seriously.

Ever since obtaining Sword Heart, he could clearly feel that his understanding of swordsmanship was constantly deepening. Techniques that previously required repeated practice to master could now often be understood after observing them only a few times.

Precisely because of this, he had recently become somewhat impatient to pursue increasingly complicated sword techniques, unknowingly neglecting the most fundamental movements.

Unexpectedly, Victor had only watched him swing his sword a few times before immediately identifying his problem.

"Come."

Just as Noah was reflecting on this, Victor suddenly raised the training longsword in his hand.

"Attack me."

"Huh? Young Master, your injuries..."

"They’ve already healed."

Victor casually moved his wrist, his tone extremely relaxed.

"Besides, this is just ordinary swordsmanship practice. We won’t even need to use mana. What’s there to worry about?"

Hearing this, Noah finally relaxed a little.

"Then here I come!"

As soon as his words fell, he suddenly stepped forward and thrust his training longsword straight toward Victor’s chest!

However, faced with this attack, Victor didn’t even move his feet. He merely raised his longsword slightly and redirected Noah’s strike to the side.

Clang!

The two training longswords collided lightly.

Noah immediately changed his attacking direction and launched several consecutive strikes from different angles, attempting to find an opening in Victor’s defense.

Yet no matter how he changed his sword techniques, Victor continued to neutralize every attack effortlessly with the simplest movements.

Just as Noah was about to launch another diagonal slash, Victor suddenly stepped half a pace forward.

Clack!

The two training longswords touched lightly.

In the next instant, the tip of Victor’s sword had already stopped steadily beside Noah’s shoulder.

"Have you figured out the problem?"

Noah froze for a moment before lowering his head in thought.

A short while later, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"I was so focused on thinking about how to change my next attack that I completely neglected the distance between myself and my opponent!"

"Yup."

Victor nodded with satisfaction and casually withdrew his sword.

"Swordsmanship isn’t necessarily better just because it’s more complicated. As long as you can strike your enemy at the right moment, even the simplest sword attack can determine the outcome of a battle."

Noah nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.

Seeing his reaction, Victor felt quite satisfied.

It had to be said that Noah, who possessed Sword Heart, truly had a comprehension ability far beyond that of ordinary professionals when it came to swordsmanship. Many things didn’t require repeated explanations. With just a little guidance, he could quickly grasp the key points.

As long as he continued developing, Noah might very well become a genuinely powerful swordsmanship professional in the future.

Moreover, this kind of growth didn’t require Victor to constantly supervise him.

As long as he provided the correct direction, Noah could continue improving on his own.

This was precisely the result Victor wanted to see.

"Alright, that’s enough for today."

Victor returned his training longsword to the weapon rack and patted Noah on the shoulder.

"If you encounter any problems you can’t solve recently, feel free to come directly to me."

"Yes, Young Master!" Noah straightened up and answered respectfully.

Victor nodded and was about to return to his study when he saw Evelyn approaching quickly from the other end of the corridor.

In her hand was a letter bearing a golden insignia.

"Young Master, Her Highness has replied."

"The letter arrived this morning." Evelyn handed him the letter before adding another sentence. "Additionally, we’ve also received news from the family."

"Oh?"

Victor’s eyes brightened slightly.

"Looks like there really are quite a few pieces of good news today."

...

Ten minutes later.

Inside the study of the noble dormitory, Victor sat behind his desk and opened the letter Cecilia had sent.

The contents were fairly straightforward.

Cecilia had already received his previous message regarding the Moonlight Sacred Spring and had clearly expressed her willingness to accept the proposed treatment arrangements.

However, due to her special status, she hoped to meet Victor first to confirm certain details before officially traveling to the Alves family territory.

At the end of the letter, a time had also been written.

Eleven o’clock this morning.

"She’s certainly cautious." Victor put down the letter, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.

However, he wasn’t particularly surprised.

After all...
