Art name: Thirteen-form Netherworld Swordsmanship

Description: The secret technique that brought the Sword Saint fame thirty years ago when he defeated the sword techniques from all martial arts sects convened on Huashan. Twin swords turn into tens of thousands in an instant to strike out like otherworldly spirits, hence the name of the technique. The key to this art is to hone one's body to be one with the sword to be able to form and commandeer swords with energy at will. The art is best represented by three of its moves: Soul-stealing Pursuit, Life Reaper, and Final Judgment. The user must be proficient in the Sword skill to use this art effectively.

Bonus: Sword 40%

Obtained through: Sword Saint

Notes: At the end of Ren Qingxuan’s romantic route, say that Master Wuxia Zi is stronger than the Sword Saint, and survive three turns against the Sword Saint.

Soul-stealing Pursuit - The first form of Thirteen-form Netherworld Swordsmanship. Twin swords stabbing toward the opponent turn into ten in an instant, leaving the opponent helpless no matter how quick their reactions. When the practitioner reaches a higher level of mastery of sword energy manipulation, he can unleash hundreds of swords instead.
Life Reaper - The fourth form of Thirteen-form Netherworld Swordsmanship. Twin swords cling to the opponent's weapon to pull the opponent. When the practitioner reaches a higher level of mastery of sword energy manipulation, his pulling force will be like that of a vortex of the void.
Final Judgment - The thirteenth form of Thirteen-form Netherworld Swordsmanship. Twin swords spin and turn to cleave in all directions. When the practitioner reaches a higher level of mastery of sword energy manipulation, it will be as if tens of thousands of swords descend from the heavens and the practitioner will be surrounded by an aura of sword energy.

is there any stat requirement in sword or blade to learn Restoration of Blade and Sword?

[Happy Birthday!]

To correct the notes for the special fighting Xiaoyao fighting styles like Shadowless Steps:

When you achieve level 20 in that skill, as long as November 1st Early has happened, stroll at Xiaoyao Valley (leftmost option) to meet with Master Zi and unlock the martial arts for usage and training.

Thank you for your guide. I just recently started playing this game, and your guides have been a big help, especially in learning short handle.
I have noticed a couple things that seem to be slightly different though: For the Xiaoyao Fan Techniques, it looks like my short handle skill needs to be 40, not 20. Any lower and I don't seem to trigger the event. Also, it looks like any point in November is fine, it doesn't need to be the beginning of the month.
I'm not sure why things seem different, is it different between different versions of the game?
Either way, though I am having small problems, your guide has still been HUGE help. So thank you!

[Mew]

Correct. The English version is still stuck at 1.0.2.6, missing content from the major updates since that version.

[Lovise]

Is dual wield not available for english version? My sword and blade move are at 70+. I encountered the stroll event where xiahou visit and then fighting Ji in xiao valley on 3rd year early may. I won against Ji, saved and reload to lose to him on purpose. Still didn't get the dual blade skill.

[Ryn]

ok thank you for information. I hope i'll encounter this event.

[Ryn]

actually i still playing 1.0.3.0 in chinese versions. :D

[Mew]

Make sure to NOT download the Chinese update if you only play the English version, because you would probably break your game.

[Mew]

That event came with update 1.0.2.7, which is ONLY available in the Chinese versions. The guide you linked to doesn't include the new content from 1.0.2.7 and afterwards. If you have the latest version of the game (Right click game->properties->betas->Select the beta you would like to opt into: beta - Chinese DLC test version->close->update) and play normally, you should encounter this event.
