The Lotus Swordsmanship was a sword technique created by Master when she broke through to the Void Realm at the Jade Ring Pool. True to its name, the sword moves are as densely layered and orderly as overlapping petals of a lotus.
When You Su learned the first nine forms, it strongly reminded him of the Yuan Sword from the Mandarin Duck Swordsmanship. It's not that the forms were similar, but the interconnected and continuous concept was exceedingly consistent. The Master is the Dao partner of the Master, and perhaps she may have taken some inspiration from the Yuan Sword. Because of this, having thoroughly studied the Yuan Sword and possessing extraordinary talent, You Su found it not too difficult to get started.
However, when he reached the latter nine forms, the Lotus Swordsmanship began to reveal its true essence, which no longer pursued form but intent.
