He saw Li Ruonan's sword momentum coming at him fiercely and closely. He no longer waved his sword to block, but jumped to the side and took the risk. Without the obstruction of the weapon, Li Ruonan's swordsmanship was even faster and fiercer. However, there was a drawback to this. With his strength, if his sword momentum was too fierce, he would not be able to restrain it, and his moves would be chaotic.
Hatch had seized this opportunity, and he was so weak that he didn't even have the ability to resist. He lured him into his circle and then tried to counterattack.
As expected, when Li Ruonan forced him into a difficult situation, he planned to beat him up. He didn't know that Hai Qi's body was facing difficulties, but his heart was calm.
Seeing the long sword coming towards his chest, Sea Serpent pretended to dodge in a panic. Li Ruonan sneered and was about to attack again, but he didn't expect that Sea Serpent wouldn't run away after turning to the side. Instead, he hit his chest with his palm.
The distance was so close that Li Ruonan did not have time to dodge. He took a solid hit and his body retreated five steps, but he could not stop the retreat. When he raised his head, he saw a long sword of Hatch already placed on his neck. The cold entered his body and he felt a chill!
"You've lost!"
The scene fell silent. Everyone was shocked except for Yu Xiaoxiao. This was already a situation where they had a slim chance of survival. How could they not be surprised?
" Hahahaha," Sun Yi stood up and clapped his hands as he laughed." Hai Qi won. He won. This is called showing weakness to the enemy. Do you understand? Do you understand?"”He tapped Li Ruochen's little nose with his finger. He was even more excited than if he had won.
Li Ruochen pushed his hand away fiercely and puffed up her cheeks in anger.
Everyone saw that Sea Serpent had won in such a way, and their hearts couldn't calm down. They were naturally happy when they won, but those who lost were miserable. Sun Yi slowly took the money and smiled at the crowd.""Brat Li, why are you still standing there after losing? Are you stupid?”
Li Ruonan was unwilling and shouted,""I'm not convinced. I didn't lose. Let's compete again.”He had almost succeeded, but he had lost due to carelessness. How could he accept this? He only wanted to compete again to regain his face.
" Brother didn't lose," Li Ruolan called out." It's just that Hai Qi is using tricks. If we compete again, we'll definitely win back."”
Li Yi smiled." A bet is a bet. The big scoundrel and the small one are scoundrels too. These two scoundrels, don't bother about them."”
"You're the scoundrel. Your entire family is scoundrels…Li Ruochen stomped her feet in anger and started crying.
"Between you and your brother, who's better?" Yu Xiaoxiao teased.”
"Of course it's my brother." She answered without hesitation.
"Oh..." "If your brother can't beat him, does he need to call you senior sister?" Yu Xiaoxiao said meaningfully.”
"I have to cry…"
Sun Yi sneered at the side." Did you see that? This scoundrel is famous. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered to make things difficult for the siblings.”
At this moment, a long roar came from afar. A black shadow stepped on the handrail of the iron chain bridge and ran over. The chain bridge was stable and did not shake. The person crossed the handrail in three to five steps and arrived on the platform. His body slowly landed.
The man was about eighty years old and had a thin figure. He was dressed in black and his hair was white. On his skinny cheeks, his eyes were bright and he had a sage-like aura.
When everyone saw him, they all stood up and walked forward to form a line. Yu Xiaoxiao also followed, but she didn't know where to line up, so she could only stand at the side.
The old man sized up Hai Qi and nodded."I heard that you are the new Hatch. En, not bad. I have secretly observed what happened here just now."
He patted Li Ruonan's shoulder and said,""Ruonan, a loss is a loss. No matter how you lost to someone else, you must remember not to underestimate your enemy. If it's a life and death battle, I'm afraid you won't even have the chance to regret it. To think that you still have the face to say that you want to compete again.”
Li Ruonan nodded with a red face. Even though she was unwilling, there was nothing she could do. She could only wait for the next opportunity to regain her face.
The old man looked at Yu Xiaoxiao and nodded repeatedly. He thought that the woman his grandson liked was indeed beautiful. Just her temperament alone was enough to charm all the men in the world. He couldn't help but take a few more looks, but the more he looked, the more satisfied he was.
Yu Xiaoxiao felt her hair stand on end as she subconsciously leaned towards Hai Qi. Sun Yi was also curious about his actions, thinking, Could it be that he wants to be an old cow eating young grass?”Goosebumps almost appeared on her skin as she thought about it." You're already so old. Can you even chew on it?”
Haiqi coughed a few times and said,""May I know who you are?"
The old man's face turned red. He knew that he had lost his composure and quickly said seriously," I am Lu Butong, the Great Elder of Ink Peak Tower. Since the Tower Master isn't around, I will train you for a while and teach you some martial arts.”
"Li Ruolan, Hai Qi, Yu Xiaoxiao, the three of you newbies have to work harder.
" This is your eldest senior brother, Sun Yi..." He pointed to the first seat on the left row closest to him.
"Hey, kid, what are you doing at the back? Don't think that I didn't know about your bet just now. I'll deal with you later.”
"This is Second Senior Brother Li Ruonan…Eighth Senior Brother Wang Chang. After he introduced them one by one, he said," Haiqi, you came last, and you haven't taken a master yet, so you're temporarily ranked behind, the youngest ninth junior brother."”
"You two girls come at the same time. The older one will be the eldest martial sister, and the younger one will be the second martial sister!”
Li Ruolan jumped up and said coquettishly," Grandpa Lu, I don't want to be the Second Junior Sister. I don't want to be the Second Junior Sister. I want to be a big one!"”
"You're very stupid, so it would be strange if you didn't become the Second Junior Sister!" Sun Yi laughed.”
Li Ruolan said angrily," You, say it again. Don't think that you can become a king just because Senior Brother Lu is gone. One day, my brother will snatch your position!"”
" Alright, alright." Lu Butong stopped their argument. This place is not for you to quarrel. Now line up."
"Haiqi, you go over there. The two of you stay beside him. Yes, line up like this. Remember this in the future.
Now, I will teach your brother a cultivation technique.
The Heart Returning Sword Technique is a mental cultivation technique. This technique is very profound and the moves are easy to learn. However, few people can truly learn the essence of it. Even I only know a little about it. However, after I teach you, how much you can learn will depend on your comprehension.
"This move starts with the heart and anticipates the enemy's first move. It doesn't use the eyes to see the enemy's moves on the surface, but to observe with the heart. The mental cultivation method is very difficult.”
Its mental cultivation method was 'Seeing all directions is illusory, hearing all directions is illusory, if the mind is one, invincible in heaven and earth!”
He drew a circle on the ground with his sword, which could only accommodate one person. He stood inside and said," Haiqi, I won't go out of the circle, and I won't fight back. You can fight me outside. If you force me out of the circle, you win!" Otherwise, you lose."
Hatch looked at everyone and saw that they had nothing to say. "Then I'm sorry…"
As he spoke, he used his fastest speed to attack his upper body with the sword. The sword split into three and sealed off all his escape routes. However, two of the three swords were illusory and one was real. If he could not grasp it, he would definitely be in a panic. Jumping out of the circle.
Lu Butong didn't dodge, he was as steady as a mountain. When the sword came, he just stretched out his right hand and caught Hai Qi's sword between his fingers as if he had expected it.
Hatch retracted his sword and continued to attack. However, he was caught by him every time, but he could not force him to leave the circle.
After a while, Haiqi was drenched in sweat and could only say,""Elder Lu, disciple is willing to admit defeat…"
Lu Butong nodded with a smile." This is only a preemptive strike. There are also preemptive strikes. Unfortunately, too few people have comprehended it, and without a certain amount of speed, it won't work at all!”
"You said that the Heart Returning Sword Art can predict the enemy's movements. If the enemy uses a myriad of techniques and messes up your mind, how will you deal with it?" Yu Xiaoxiao suddenly said.”
"That's a good question. It depends on what kind of opponent you are. If the opponent knows that you will anticipate the enemy's attack, he can deliberately let you succeed if he is strong. However, he still has a backup move that you can't guard against!”Lu Butong stroked his beard and replied.
"However, this old man's cultivation is still very shallow. There are thousands of martial arts in the world. As you said, if I really encounter such an expert, I will inevitably be defeated.”
" Alright, remember the mental cultivation method. Now, I'll teach you some basic moves…"
After Lu Butong's demonstration, everyone started to learn, and they were all very serious. Even Yu Xiaoxiao did the same, which confused Sea Creature. He thought that with her strength and personality, she shouldn't be like this. However, he couldn't be bothered to think about it later, so he could only focus on practicing and had no other thoughts!
Among the people who practiced, Sea Serpent had a weaker foundation. Unlike the others who had practiced since they were young, it was easy for them to draw inferences from one instance. Sea Serpent could only ask and learn more, so he had the most questions! Lu Butong patiently answered them one by one.
Time flew by quickly as he started practicing. Unknowingly, it was already dusk.
"Go back and rest. Come back tomorrow morning. After practicing for a few days, you can spar with each other.”As soon as Lu Butong finished speaking, everyone left in a hurry.
"Sun Yi, did I let you go when you came back?”Lu Butong shouted. Sun Yi walked back dejectedly and said," Grandpa Lu, what do you want to do now?”
"Hmph, what do I want? You know what I did today. What do you think I want?”
Sun Yi scratched his head." I didn't…I didn't do anything good today. You…You're thinking too much!"”
"Think about it slowly if you can't think of it. Leave only if you can!" Lu Butong said angrily.”
" Oh..." Sun Yi looked enlightened." I know, you're talking about my gathering... Uh, no, about the bet. Aiya, it's a small matter. Everyone has a share."”
"Hehe, who took the lead? Small matter? Gambling in such an important place for cultivation was a small matter? If Sun Buxiao finds out, he won't punish you as easily as I did! I won't say anything more. You'll stay here for ten days.”
"Why?" "Everyone has a part to play, why am I the only one being punished…" Sun Yi said angrily.
"Oh, Lu Butong, I know. You must be using your position to take revenge. If you have the ability, go and argue with that old bastard Sun Buxiao.”
"You're still picking on the soft ones?" Lu Butong laughed."Also, I'll tell your grandfather what you said just now!"”
He laughed and left, leaving Sun Yi gnashing his teeth.
"What are you afraid of? I'm still here!”Hatch walked over with a smile.
