Although he had long since cultivated the basic Swordsmanship technique gifted by Kong Sheng to the point of perfection, allowing him to project a three-foot sword gleam, the technique contained the most fundamental principles of the sword. Practice always yielded new insights. It also helped him develop a better rapport with his sword, Zhanming. Upon realizing this, Yu Fei made it a habit to practice with Zhanming for a while every morning.
The sheer weight of the sword also served to limber up his muscles and bones.
On the vast training grounds, Yu Fei swung the greatsword with great effort. Zhanming required two hands to wield, and due to its peculiar shape, his forms were not always perfect. This made it difficult to project the three-foot sword gleam; he could only occasionally manage a sharp aura of about a foot.
