Chapter 12: Preparations for the Duel
In the quiet woods, the boy stood straight in front of the water tank, holding his breath.
"Let's go!" With Xuantian's order, Xiao Yao opened his eyes violently, and his hands quickly stirred in the water tank.
The water in the water tank was originally in a static state, but after Xiao Yao's violent agitation, it suddenly overflowed outward, and the only way to prevent the overflowing water from falling to the ground was to counteract the law of gravitation at a very fast speed.
"Be careful, both hands must be in the same direction, and the movements must be fast." Xuantian pointed to the side.
Xiao Yao used the star power in his body, he was engrossed, and the speed of his hands was extremely fast, and outsiders could only see the afterimage of his hands. However, he still couldn't get the water out of the tank, and he was able to ensure that the water from the tank would not spill to the ground with a quick agitation, which was the best result after five days of practice.
An hour later, Xiao Yao, whose star power in his body was consumed, stopped helplessly and sat on the ground, already soaked with sweat.
"Get up, cultivate immediately, recover your star power, this time your cultivation is more effective than your usual cultivation!" Just when Xiao Yao was exhausted, Xuantian's voice sounded sternly.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yao sat up with difficulty, put on a cultivation posture, and began to recover his star power, to be honest, he has collapsed now, and he doesn't even bother to move his fingers, but he has to suffer hard to become a master, and there is often only a thin line between a genius and a madman.
Looking at Xiao Yao, who had soon entered the state of cultivation, Xuantian admired in his heart: "You can do it to this level in five days, even the old man can't compare to you back then, I really look forward to your achievements in the future!" ”
In fact, Xiao Yao underestimated the difficulty, he thought that he would be able to take the water out of the water tank after practicing for two days at most, but he didn't expect that it was the sixth day, but he still couldn't do it, and this kind of practice was extremely star-intensive.
The star power in his body is only enough for him to support him for an hour, and after each practice, he has to withstand his tired body to recover his star power, and it takes three hours to recover his star power each time, which means that he can only practice three times a day at most.
However, this kind of crazy cultivation has also made him gain great benefits, his cultivation is obtained by using star power crystals, and he is a little impetuous, after these few days of crazy practice, the impetuous star power in his body has become more stable and solid.
This is an unexpected joy, and Xuantian is considering whether to use a star power crystal for Xiao Yao to improve his lower cultivation.
After practicing repeatedly, Xiao Yao finally succeeded in taking the water out of the tank after twenty days.
However, just when Xiao Yao was happy in his heart, the water without the support of the water tank was all scattered back into the water tank with a bang, and Xiao Yao's face was full of water droplets.
Water that is separated from the tank is like a building that has lost its foundation support, and if it is not supported by a strong external force, it will collapse with a bang.
And this external force is Xiao Yao's faster speed, only the speed of Xiao Yao's hands can offset the geocentric attraction, so that the water that is out of the water tank can stop in the air.
It's just that with Xiao Yao's current cultivation, his speed has reached the limit, and if he wants to increase his speed again, he can only increase his cultivation.
Xiao Yao himself knew this, so he smiled bitterly at Xuantian: "Senior, it seems that taking this water away from the water tank is already the limit of what I can do!" ”
Xuantian nodded, he had already seen this.
"That's right, your limit is to take this water away from the water tank, and by doing this, you have mastered the 'shape' of this technique, and in the next few days, I will begin to teach you the 'meaning' of this technique."
Xiao Yao shook his head puzzled and said, "Senior, what is 'Xingyi'?" ”
"The so-called form is a combat move. Meaning is the skill of combat skills. If you have mastered the form, you will be considered to have learned the art of war. But only when you master the intention can you truly master the combat skills, and can you exert the strongest power of the combat skills. ”
Xiao Yao nodded: "I understand, but what is the skill of this trick?" ”
Xuantian smiled slightly and said, "I'll show you it in person, you can see it." ”
After speaking, Xuantian's transparent body floated to the water tank, stretched out a hand at random, and the void turned, and the water in the water tank had left the water tank and came into mid-air.
Xiao Yao was engrossed, staring at Xuantian's hand tightly, for fear of missing a slight movement, he knew that although it seemed that Xuantian only changed his hand slightly, in fact, Xuantian's hand had turned at least dozens of times, but his speed was too fast, so fast that with Xiao Yao's cultivation, he couldn't see clearly.
"Boy, hurry, that's the shape of this skill. The world's martial arts, invincible, only fast and not broken, legend has it that if the speed is fast to the extreme, it can even be separated from space and time, so only if your speed is fast enough, can you find out the opponent's loopholes before the opponent makes a move, and make the first move, otherwise when the opponent's move is formed, it is impossible for you to unload the force. ”
Xiao Yao nodded, "Senior, I understand, what about the skills of this combat technique?" ”
"Look!" Xuantian smiled slightly, and the hand wrapped in the water ball suddenly pulled out, and a large ball of water suspended in the air fell without the support of an external force.
At this moment, Xuantian's hand snapped back, and when the water seemed to fall, he caught it. Then his hand drew an arc in the air, very slowly, but every time the water was about to fall, he caught it accurately, so that the water rotated with the arc he had drawn, forming a strange circle of water in the air.
"Do you see? The skill of this trick is that the strength is continuous, interlocking and endless, and it can be summed up in one word, winding! Speed alone is not enough, only by entanglement the opponent and letting the opponent follow your wishes, can you unload the force, and do it with strength. ”
After speaking, his hand made other patterns in the air, and those water masses would form a circle shape and a dragon shape, as if by magic, Xiao Yao was dazzled to see it.
"Senior, I understand, but how do I practice the trick of winding words?" Although Xiao Yao understood the meaning, he didn't know how to practice, and he still needed to ask Xuantian for advice.
"Hehe, it's still the water in the water tank with both hands, but this time my request is that you can't let the water in the water tank splash a drop of water, if you can do it with both hands stirring in it, the water surface of the water tank will not ripple a little, calm as a mirror, you can master the trick of winding words." The main point of the exercise is that you remember to agitate your hands in opposite directions, using the forces that cancel each other out and keep the water calm. ”
"Yes, I see!" Xiao Yao nodded and began to practice.
A month later, Tianjing City Longteng Square, today, is the day of the duel between Xiao Yao and Yang Ming.
Early in the morning, Yang Ming took a group of younger brothers to set up a position in Longteng Square, and invited the major media in Tianjing City to come, preparing to make a documentary about the duel process and spread it in the empire, and he firmly believed that he would win!
It was a duel between young people, but it was known to the world that Yang Ming was boiling, and early in the morning, Longteng Square was crowded with people.
Almost all the younger generation of Tianjing City were present, and some thoughtful imperial magnates also hid in the shadows to watch, and this duel can be said to have caused a sensation in the entire imperial capital.
Of course, Xiao Chen had already arrived, standing in the crowd, his brows furrowed, Xiao Yao had been away from home for a month, and there was no news, he wouldn't forget today's duel, right?
As the sunlight gradually became dazzling, but Xiao Yao, the other protagonist of the duel, was still not present, some people were already a little impatient.
"Hong Shao, do you think that waste will really come? Is he looking for death? A younger brother asked Hong Antong.
Hong Antong shook his head: "I don't know about this, but with what I know about him, he can do anything stupid for the sake of his so-called self-esteem, even if it is to die." ”
In the open space in the center of the crowd, a reporter stretched out the microphone to Yang Ming in the field and asked: "Yang Shao, I heard that you have broken through from the fifth turn of the star movement to the sixth turn of the star movement a few days ago, and our former scholar in Tianjing City is still staying in the first turn of the star, do you think Xiao Yao will come as promised in this duel with a huge disparity in strength?" ”
Yang Ming smiled proudly and said: "The duel book is here, if he doesn't come, it will be tantamount to abstaining and admitting defeat, isn't the Prime Minister over there also here?" He should know whether Xiao Yao will come or not! ”
Suddenly, everyone's eyes focused on Xiao Chen.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, Xiao Yao is your righteous son, may I ask if he hasn't come yet, could it be that he is scared and escaped?" A reporter who was bribed by Yang Ming asked pointed questions.
"One turn of the stars will turn six times for the stars, and the fool will come to find death, everyone doesn't have to wait, go back to their own homes and find their own mothers, then Xiao Yao will definitely not come."
Hearing the reporter's question, there was a burst of sarcastic discussion in the crowd.
Xiao Chen's face was as usual, but there was a burst of anger in his heart, he believed that even if Xiao Yaoming knew that it was impossible to defeat Yang Ming, he would definitely come, and if he lost, he could win it back, if his integrity was gone, then he could only be a coward for the rest of his life.
"Don't worry, I, Xiao Chen, guarantee with my personality, Xiao Yao will definitely come, but I will be late, maybe I was delayed by something."
At the same time, a magnetic levitation car stopped at the entrance of Longteng Plaza, and a teenager in a black tracksuit jumped off.
Just yesterday, Xiao Yao finally mastered the trick of winding words, and was able to get the water out of the water tank and levitate in the air for a minute, because of his excitement, he forgot about today's duel, if it wasn't for Xuantian's reminder, he would have almost completely forgotten.
Xiao Yao strode into the square, and complained to Xuantian in his heart: "Old guy, why didn't you wake me up earlier, it's at least nine o'clock now, and the time I agreed with Yang Ming is eight o'clock, will he think that I am afraid of him and dare not come to fight?" ”
"What's the hurry, let that kid be arrogant for a while, it's too late to rush now!"
Harry and Xue Wu looked nervously at the crowd, looking at the gate of the square from time to time, believing that Xiao Yao would definitely come.
Suddenly, Harry's shrill voice rang out: "Here, here the boss is!" ”
Suddenly, everyone followed Harry's gaze and saw a young man in a black tracksuit, striding towards him.
