After Transmigration, I Traded a Coin for a Peerless Wife and Conquered the Chaotic World - Chapter 16:

Chapter 16: The Gap Between People

“System, one day, I’ll slam piles and piles of Slaughter Points right in your face!” Lin Feng swore silently in his heart.

After successfully exchanging for the Flowing Cloud Chasing Moon Sword Technique, a booklet appeared out of thin air in his hand.

Entering the inner room, Lin Feng pulled He Caiwei into his arms and said, “My dear, this sword technique was passed down to me by a master I met in the army. It just happens to be perfectly suited for you. If one day you master this technique, maybe even I won’t be a match for you.” He chuckled teasingly.

He Caiwei accepted the book and flipped through it briefly. It was filled with illustrations and figures demonstrating sword moves, all clearly detailed and dynamic. The movements were also graceful and elegant.

“Husband really dotes on me.” She turned and gave him a joyful kiss on the cheek.

“Of course!” Lin Feng responded proudly, “You’re my wife—if I don’t pamper you, then who should I pamper? Any good thing I get, you’re always the first I think of.”

“Then can I start practicing swordsmanship tomorrow?” she asked with bright anticipation.

Lin Feng playfully tapped her nose and said gently, “Yes. As long as it makes you happy, I’ll support whatever you want.”

…

Early the next morning, just as dawn was breaking.

Lin Feng and He Caiwei got up to prepare food, tidied up, and then headed to the back mountain for training.

“Steady the dantian, focus the mind. Inhale three times, exhale once, and sense the flow of Qi within the body. The dantian is located three inches above the navel. Remember—when cultivating, avoid impatience or restlessness. If your mind wavers and becomes irritable, it’s easy to harm your body…”

A trace of morning light, tinted with soft purple hues, gently spilled across the earth.

At this moment, Lin Feng was teaching He Caiwei the army’s basic breathing technique. Though this method was ordinary and widely practiced, its neutrality and balance made it very safe. Even if someone made a mistake during practice, the worst outcome would just be a few days of rest.

Of course, its advantage came with a downside—progress was also the slowest.

“Remember!” Lin Feng demonstrated beside her, then stood up and reminded, “Once you feel the flow of Qi in your dantian, that means you’ve succeeded. Understand?”

“I understand, Husband!” He Caiwei nodded seriously, then mimicked his posture, sitting cross-legged, palms up, and began following the breathing rhythm of the basic method to sense the surrounding spiritual Qi.

Time ticked by as Lin Feng watched quietly from the side.

“Profound grade comprehension… so this is it?” he thought.

But just as the thought passed, He Caiwei’s face lit up with joy.

“Husband, I felt it! There’s definitely a flow of Qi in my dantian. It feels warm and very soothing.”

“Mm.” Lin Feng nodded mechanically.

In his memory, his former self had taken a full month just to barely grasp this basic technique—and due to poor talent, he remained a Grade C soldier in the army.

But He Caiwei had already sensed the flow of Qi this quickly. She was essentially at the beginner level already. With a few more tries, she’d easily cross that threshold.

“As expected of Profound grade comprehension… there’s really no comparison.” Lin Feng sighed.

Half an hour later, He Caiwei officially entered the beginner stage.

Lin Feng, who had been watching the entire time, once again felt utterly shown up.

Half an hour really wasn’t much. How could the difference between people be so massive?

“Alright, time to move on to sword training!”

Lin Feng knew that with Profound grade comprehension, the basic breathing method was easy to grasp. But the Flowing Cloud Chasing Moon Sword Technique he got from the system was on a whole different level—definitely a top-tier technique.

As expected, after practicing the sword technique for a while, He Caiwei stopped and looked to him in amazement.

“Husband, this sword technique is incredibly profound—so much more complex than the basic breathing method.”

Her earlier pride from mastering the basics vanished instantly in the face of this new challenge.

“That’s normal,” Lin Feng replied calmly, hands behind his back. Suddenly, the aura of a 3rd rank warrior burst forth. With a light step, he dashed in front of He Caiwei and threw a powerful punch at her side.

The air howled with force, pressing down like Mount Tai. Each punch was fierce and forced her to dodge.

He intentionally slowed his speed, allowing He Caiwei to react and dodge with agility.

Meanwhile, his guiding voice rang out steadily.

“The Flowing Cloud Chasing Moon Sword Technique has three forms. The first is ‘Cloud Shuttle, Moon Shadow.’”

As he spoke, his powerful punches angled forward again, gradually pressuring her into adapting to the technique’s rhythm.

Thanks to her Profound grade comprehension, He Caiwei quickly grasped the intent behind his attacks and began practicing the first form, imitating the movements of ‘Cloud Shuttle, Moon Shadow.’

Soon, after several repetitions, she memorized the sequence of attacks. This time, when Lin Feng launched another strike, He Caiwei successfully responded.

Her long sword traced a path through the air, its tip gently touching the ground as she dodged his fist. At the same time, her figure drifted back like flowing clouds.

Lin Feng cooperated perfectly, using the Eight-Step Pursuit technique to press forward again, launching another fierce combo of attacks.

While retreating and countering, He Caiwei subtly shifted the angle of her sword. Sunlight reflected off the blade, flashing into Lin Feng’s eyes and momentarily blinding him.

Seeing her execute the first form smoothly, Lin Feng seized the moment. “Now comes the second form—‘Embrace the Moon!’”

With her prior experience, as soon as his fist descended, He Caiwei tapped her toes and leapt into the air.

Her sword drew a glowing arc like a full moon, sending sword Qi out like silver threads. She then switched from defense to offense, stabbing directly at Lin Feng.

This move was perfect for seizing initiative in combat—and it flowed directly into the third form, ‘Flowing Cloud Slash.’

In an instant, her strikes transformed into a rapid flurry of attacks like a sudden storm.

Lin Feng could only retreat continuously, dodging as her blade targeted his vital points—though she clearly held back just enough power.

Her blade danced like clouds skimming the surface of water—gentle in appearance but laced with lethal intent.

After completing the third form, He Caiwei, having practiced for two hours, had gone from complete novice to solid beginner.

She could now easily handle regular bandits or thugs. It was a clear sign she’d gained the ability to defend herself.

Moreover, the Flowing Cloud Chasing Moon Sword Technique was tailored by the system just for He Caiwei—especially suitable for overcoming stronger opponents through agility, feints, and steady attrition.

Once her opponent was worn down or dropped their guard, a single ‘Flowing Cloud Slash’ could end the fight completely.

Satisfied, Lin Feng stepped back and let her practice on her own.

He Caiwei didn’t let him down. Empowered by her Profound grade comprehension, her mastery of the technique improved rapidly. The once disjointed transitions between the three forms smoothed out, becoming cohesive and fluid.

The angles of her moves also subtly shifted, adapting more effectively for real combat, rather than merely going through the motions.

Lin Feng leaned against a willow tree, quietly admiring his wife’s stunning elegance.

Gradually, the Flowing Cloud Chasing Moon Sword Technique, as performed by He Caiwei, became more than just a combat style—it turned into a sword dance.

Her sleeves fluttered gracefully, her strikes filled with heroic flair. The deadly edge of her moves was matched by their captivating beauty—truly mesmerizing.

With every flowing move, it felt as though she had become the embodiment of the sword’s name, like flowing clouds chasing the moon—a breathtaking sight to behold…
