Volume II, Chapter 33: The Limit of Seven Days
The night is getting deeper. Outside the window, the chirping of an unknown insect could be heard. Lin Peng lay on the bed, looked up at the dim roof, and was silently in a daze.
In the end, he still hadn't been able to see that Ye Fengfeng today. The battle with Yu Changqing during the day was stopped halfway, and it seems that he has been silently observing himself from a distance. In this way, this Ye Jingfeng should also be a little interested in himself, but why does he refuse to see himself?
Lin Peng sighed, a little confused about this person's thoughts.
"Forget it, let's see what they say tomorrow. ”
In the end, Lin Peng seemed to be relieved, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.....
Early the next morning, with the sound of roosters, Lin Peng slowly woke up from his sleep. He stretched, got up and opened the window, and the sun was shining in his face.
"The weather was nice today. ”
Looking at the scenery outside the window, the depression in Lin Peng's heart was swept away, and he suddenly felt much better.
After washing up in the morning, Lin Peng came to the place where he had dinner yesterday, and saw that Zhang Jifeng had arrived at some point.
"Brother Lin, morning. ”
Zhang Jifeng saw Lin Peng walking towards him, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and greeted him with a smile.
"Morning!"
Lin Peng also smiled and nodded to the other party.
"Where's Dao Chang Ye?"
Lin Peng looked left and right and found that Zhang Jifeng was the only one here.
"Uncle Shi, he has already eaten, and he usually gets up early in the morning. Don't worry, I'll go over and ask him about his arrangements later. ”
Zhang Jifeng patted Lin Peng's shoulder and comforted.
"Oooh. ”
After listening to Zhang Jifeng's words, Lin Peng nodded thoughtfully, didn't think about it anymore, and lowered his head to eat breakfast. He's figured it out last night, so he's going to do his best!
Zhang Jifeng came earlier than Lin Peng, and soon finished his meal, wiped his mouth and went to find Ye Jingfeng. Lin Peng watched Ye Jingfeng leave, and sat quietly in his position alone, silently waiting for the news.
.....
"You... What did you just say?!Uncle Shi?"
Zhang Jifeng stood in Ye Jingfeng's room, looking at the other party with a shocked expression, obviously frightened by the other party's arrangement just now.
"I'm not joking with you, go tell him that. ”
Ye Jingfeng looked at the other party with a calm face and said lightly.
"With all due respect, Uncle Shi, your request is too difficult for a strong man! Brother Lin Peng, he has never learned swordsmanship before, and he has no foundation at all, but you want him to defeat Yu Changqing within seven days! This is simply impossible!"
Zhang Jifeng also seemed to be in a hurry, and he argued with Ye Jingfeng with a red face. In his opinion, Ye Jingfeng's request was undoubtedly to drive Lin Peng away!
"You think I'm embarrassing that little ghost?"
Ye Jingfeng was not angry, but said with a smile.
"Isn't it?"
"Hehehe, Hurricane, I think you don't know what's going on, right? You're underestimating the ability of the 'Heart Eye', the Heart Eye is known as the strongest 'Observation Eye' among all the abilities. And the little ghost's 'heart eye' is a little different from the ordinary 'heart eye'. For seven days, I felt like I had given too much. ”
Ye Jingfeng saw that the other party looked like he was upset with Lin Peng, and explained with a smile.
"But... His opponent is Yu Changqing, our new young talent in Wudang. Even if Lin Peng has a 'heart eye', he may not be able to defeat Yu Changqing in seven days, right?"
Zhang Jifeng was still a little worried in his heart. After all, Yu Changqing is not an ordinary opponent, and his growth rate is quite fast among his peers!
"If he really wants to learn it, then he can do it. ”
Ye Jingfeng's expression suddenly became serious.
"But... Uncle Shi, why do you want to use this method? I really don't understand. ”
Zhang Jifeng sighed and asked.
"Do you know how eagles teach eaglets to fly?"
Ye Jingfeng asked.
“.....”
"The way the eagle taught the eaglet to fly was to throw him off a cliff. If the eaglet can't fly during this time, then it can only be thrown to death. So it has to learn to fly!"
"Uncle Shi, what do you mean .....?"
Zhang Jifeng seemed to gradually understand what Ye Jingfeng meant.
"It's the same with people, if you don't push him, he won't grow. If he can't even withstand the test of this level, it means that his determination is nothing more than that. I wouldn't take such a person as an apprentice!"
"I see....."
Zhang Jifeng nodded, he didn't expect Ye Jingfeng to think so much!
"Then I'll go tell him. ”
After Zhang Jifeng finished speaking, he turned around and walked out the door.
"Wind!"
Looking at the back of Zhang Jifeng leaving, Ye Jingfeng seemed to remember something.
"I'm sure that kid will pass this test. He had a fire in his eyes, much like when I was younger....."
......
Ye Jingfeng's arrangement was quickly conveyed by Zhang Jifeng to Lin Peng and Yu Changqing. To be honest, when Lin Peng heard the news, he was really shocked, it seems that this Ye Jingfeng is indeed a person who does not play cards according to common sense. However, since they have already arranged it like this, then Lin Peng has no choice but to head on! He has no intention of backing down, no matter what method he uses, he will take down this Yu Changqing within seven days!
Compared to Lin Peng, Yu Changqing couldn't help laughing. After yesterday's competition, he also had a general understanding of Lin Peng's strength. Although the opponent's dodging skills are indeed very good, judging from the opponent's reaction at the last moment yesterday, his strength may not be very strong. Otherwise, you won't be caught up by yourself.
"Senior brother, it seems that the Lord Guan doesn't intend to teach this person, and he actually makes such a harsh request. Although I didn't fight him for a long time yesterday, I can probably guess the other party's background. He shouldn't have learned swordsmanship or other kung fu, right? For such a layman, the Guan Master actually wants him to defeat me within seven days, isn't this obviously forcing him to leave?"
After listening to Zhang Jifeng's words, Yu Changqing couldn't help laughing and said.
"Changqing, it's better not to underestimate the enemy too much. Let me remind you, this Lin Peng is not an ordinary person, but don't be too relaxed. ”
Seeing that the other party looked indifferent, Zhang Jifeng couldn't help but say with some worry.
"Well, senior brother, don't worry about this. Even if it's a weak opponent, I won't underestimate it. It's a shame that his opponent is me. I'll be calm and ready to deal with him. ”
After Yu Changqing finished speaking, he laughed and walked away.
"Changqing, Changqing, I hope you really don't underestimate the enemy. ”
Looking at the other party's somewhat frivolous appearance, Zhang Jifeng muttered silently in his heart.
.....
The seven-day appointment was set for tomorrow, and Ye Jingfeng meant to give the two of them a day to prepare for the battle. Both physically and spiritually.
Of course, Lin Peng would not waste this precious time, he combined all his current means, thought about it all night, and finally reluctantly came up with a tactic for fighting. Although it is not clear whether it will work for Yu Changqing, he can only try it tentatively, after all, there are seven days, and he can find a way while observing.
The next day, the two came to the agreed competition venue early. The competition venue was selected in a clearing in the backyard of the Taoist temple, surrounded by dense bamboo forests, which seemed very hidden, and it was also a good place for martial arts competitions. Zhang Jifeng, as a witness to the competition between the two, also came over early, and after briefly explaining the rules of the competition, he silently stepped aside and let the two start.
"Brother Lin, please give me a lot of advice. ”
Yu Changqing held the sword in his hand, arched his hand to Lin Peng, and said politely.
"Don't dare, don't dare, please be merciful. ”
"Brother Lin, you are too modest, I won't fall for you. Hahaha~"
Yu Changqing had a smile on his face, but he had a thought in his heart. He is bound to win this game, and he wants to defeat the opponent in one go! Let him know the difference in strength between him and himself, and retreat in the face of difficulties. He didn't have time to waste seven days with Lin Peng!
"Brother Lin, I'll attack first!"
Yu Changqing couldn't wait for a long time to rub his fists, and before Lin Peng could speak, he took the lead in raising his sword and rushing towards Lin Peng.
