Chapter 179: Genius is immortal
The circle on the ground gradually disappeared with the evaporation of water vapor, Long Xi was still staring unblinking, Tian Xiaoye came over and said, "Why can't you draw well?"
Longxi said: "Excellent".
Tian Xiaoye didn't care about walking on the ground, "I think that's it."
Long Xi raised his head, as if he had just seen her, "That's it, haha, yes, it only took me two years when I first painted it."
"What?" Tian Xiaono's eyes widened.
Long Xi said: "To tell you the truth, this technique is the basis for practicing the Dragon Family's swordsmanship, and it took me two years to reach this entry foundation."
Tian Xiaoye listened and was slightly distracted.
"And it only took you two minutes", Long Xi continued, "It took you just two minutes to achieve a height that ordinary people can't reach in their lifetime."
"This ...... How is that possible?"
Long Xi said slowly: "The Long family's swordsmanship has extremely high requirements for people's qualifications, when I learned swordsmanship at the age of eight, I learned this set of swordsmanship with one hundred and sixty-seven people in my generation, and only seven people finally learned it."
Tian Xiaoye suddenly exclaimed: "Could it be that there are only seven people who draw this circle in the end?"
Long Xi nodded and said with a smile: "These seven people are already considered geniuses, guess how long they have taken them."
Tian Xiaoye muttered for a while, and said, "Even you have used it for two years, presumably they will not be much better than you."
Long Xi walked two steps slowly, the light in his eyes suddenly converged, as if recalling a long past, and said in a deep voice: "I have caused a lot of criticism in two years, and the elders think I am cheating."
"How can they do this", Tian Xiaoye stepped on the soles of his feet unconvinced.
Long Xi continued: "Because the other six people have spent ten, thirteen, fifteen, eighteen and twenty years respectively, and some have just practiced to the beginning."
Tian Xiaoye said: "I ...... to say this."
Long Xi didn't have a smile on his face at all, "You are no longer a genius, you are a genius among geniuses."
Tian Xiaoye stretched out his palm and looked at it very carefully, "The genius of geniuses, I don't feel it."
Long Xi thought for a while and said, "You must not tell anyone about this matter, and no one should say that you know?"
Tian Xiaoye raised his head and said incomprehensibly, "Why can't I?"
Long Xi's voice suddenly became extremely slow and solemn, "I want to tell you the story that once happened to me, do you want to hear it."
Tian Xiaoye clapped his little hands and said, "I like to hear your story."
Long Xi coughed lightly and said slowly: "When I was very young, now that I think about it, my memory is a little blurry, at that time I studied art with hundreds of clansmen of the Long family, because my progress speed far exceeded that of other peers, my father found out and actually used supreme skill to seal my Fengchi acupoint, in order to slow down my sword learning speed."
When Tian Xiaoye heard this, he couldn't help but wonder: "Isn't it a good thing that you learn faster than others?
Long Xi fell into the memory, raised his head slightly and smiled, "I also complained about my father at the beginning, because after he sealed the acupoint, my body was not as flexible as before, and the movements that I originally learned in two days now take two months, and the exercises that could have been easily completed have become extremely difficult."
Tian Xiaoye raised his head blankly, "Why is this happening?
Long Xi said lightly: "One day I really couldn't bear it, because the teacher who taught me at that time had already noticed this, he didn't think I was stupid, but thought I was lazy and didn't practice well, but I explained to him that the acupoint was sealed, I was only seven or eight years old at the time, I ran home very angrily, and in a fit of anger, I broke the cup he was drinking water from, and asked my father, why didn't you let me practice martial arts."
Tian Xiaoye hurriedly asked, "What did your father say at that time?"
Long Xi said: "He only said four words, genius is not long."
"Genius doesn't live long?", Tian Xiaoye repeated in a low voice.
Long Xi said: "At that time, my reaction was the same as yours, I couldn't understand it at all, I learned so fast and so well, why did I suppress me."
Tian Xiaoye was speechless when he heard this.
Long Xi smiled indifferently and said, "Next, what my unreasonable father said was even more incomprehensible, he said: I didn't stop you from practicing, I just let you practice slowly."
Tian Xiaoye asked rhetorically, "Isn't it good to practice fast?"
Long Xi shook his head, "He said that if I don't practice slowly, I will be able to learn almost all the martial arts in the world in less than ten years, but I will never live past ten years, that is, I will definitely die early."
Tian Xiaoye raised his head and looked at him in surprise, "Is your father a fortune teller?"
Long Xi said: "Although he doesn't know fortune telling, but what he says has always been very accurate, so when he said that I would die, of course I was afraid, and I no longer complained about him from now on, although the acupoint was blocked, I still practiced very diligently, and with perseverance, I finally broke through the difficulties."
Tian Xiaoye's face was happy, "Could it be that your acupoint has been unlocked?"
Long Xi shook his head, "I just learned to draw that circle, as for the acupoint, I still can't solve it, because at that time, my father was in the prime of life, and his internal strength was at its peak, even now I can't break through it by myself, that old man may have thought about it back then, so that I can't solve it for the rest of my life."
Tian Xiaoye's eyes flashed brightly, and he said, "Even if you can't solve it, you are still so powerful, which shows how talented you are."
Long Xi said: "Now that I'm used to it, I rarely think about it, but I'm most worried about you now."
Tian Xiaoye blinked, "Are you also worried about my short life?"
"Genius is not long", Long Xi read again in a low voice, "I'll ask him again if I have time, that old man is very weird now."
Tian Xiaoye said: "Anyway, I have never met your father, take me to meet you when you have time."
Long Xi said: "Don't, that old man is not normal, it's better not for you to go."
Tian Xiaoye said unhappily: "How can anyone say this about his father."
Long Xi said: "That guy doesn't even see my mother, do you think he's normal?"
"It's really a bit strange to say this", suddenly she seemed to think of something, and smiled lightly: "Since you are so worried about me, then it's okay if I don't practice martial arts."
Long Xi exhaled and said: "Such a good foundation, isn't it a waste, so let's do it, I'll teach you some of the most basic moves, you practice a shape first."
Tian Xiaoye's eyes immediately lit up, "Okay, okay, just learn that swordsmanship."
Long Xi smiled and said, "Let's just say it, you still like to practice martial arts, did you learn the grappling technique that you just taught you?"
Tian Xiaoye suddenly became a lot more proud, stretched his waist, and said casually: "It's so simple, I've learned it early, what can stump me with this genius."
Long Xi glared at her vigilantly, and Tian Xiaoye laughed sheepishly, "Hahaha, I tease you, look at what scares you."
