It was getting dark, and in the small courtyard of the Qingfeng Town Liaison Office, two teenagers were sweating profusely and bending over and panting.

"Don't fight, I'm tired! I have to play tomorrow!" Wu Cheng was the first to speak, slowly walked to the chair and sat down, drinking water frantically.

"Me too, so tired, so thirsty!" Ye Mu was also tired, so he walked to the table and drank water.

The two fought from evening to dark, and the two sides went back and forth, and in general, they were evenly matched. Of course, this is a competition, not a life-and-death duel, Ye Mu did not use a sword, and the two sides did not use a mysterious technique.

"I have benefited a lot from this battle with Brother Wu, thank you!" Ye Mu breathed a sigh of relief and saluted Wu Cheng, this time he sincerely expressed his gratitude.

"Brother Night, if you say that, then we will see each other, we are good friends, aren't we?" Wu Cheng replied with a smile.

"Actually, I have already broken through to the late stage of Ning Xuan, and I can be regarded as concealing my strength!" Ye Mu said a little embarrassed, looking at Wu Cheng with a little embarrassment.

"Haha, I actually feel it, it's nothing when I'm out of the house, I can understand, I said earlier, you're a friend, I'm a martial artist. When Wu Cheng heard what Ye Mu said, he couldn't help but smile, still looking very grinning.

When Ye Mu heard Wu Cheng's words, his mouth opened slightly, but he didn't say anything in the end. It's just that this is the first time since he came out of the Sword Pavilion that he has felt the care, tolerance and understanding of other people besides Venerable Bai, and Ye Mu's heart is still very touched.

"Let's rest and rest, it's getting dark!" Ye Mu calmed down and said softly to Wu Cheng.

"Also, it's getting dark, I'm going to take a shower. Brother Night, you should also rest early. After Wu Cheng finished speaking, he walked straight to the room.

"There's no need to say the name, it's also a homonym. There are so many people in this world, I may meet all kinds of people, but I am different, I have a lot of things to do, so don't tell your real name, so as not to cause you trouble in the future, you are the first friend I Ye Mu met, I will always remember you. ”

Ye Mu looked at Wu Cheng's back, feeling emotion in his heart and having mixed feelings.

In fact, Ye Mu has stayed in the Sword Pavilion since he was a child, although Venerable Bai often told him all kinds of things when he was a child, but after all, Ye Mu has not experienced it personally, and he does not have such a clear understanding of the warmth and coldness of people in this world.

However, this time in the conversation with Wu Cheng, Ye Mu's heart was warmed, and he felt that the decision to leave the Sword Pavilion this time was correct.

"Whew...... I'm still a little worried about tomorrow's competition!" Ye Mu took a long breath, looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, and muttered.

"Recover, I don't know when Mayor Liu will come......" Ye Mu still has to wait for Liu Palm, and he is also waiting, so he plans to cultivate.

The competition during the day has made Ye Mu see the difficulties ahead, Ye Mu doesn't want to waste a little time, he knows that he doesn't have any qualifications to slack off in the future, and he must use every minute and every second to improve his strength.

"Huh...... It seems to be closer to the peak, isn't it?" As soon as Ye Mu entered the cultivation state, he found that his Xuan Qi absorption speed was a little faster.

"Could it be that the competition with Wu Cheng just now? The drastic attrition has made me go further?" it should be like this!" Ye Mu thought about it, his eyes flashing.

"It seems that I will have to fight more in the future, fighting has this benefit, I want to carry it forward!" Ye Mu thought about it, and was immediately overjoyed, his expression was like walking in the mountains and finding a gold mine, his eyes were shining.

Ye Mu immediately stopped talking nonsense, entered the state of cultivation, and according to the first weight of the [Imperial Sword Technique], the Xuan Qi in his body ran around his body, recovering little by little, and his strength was also improving little by little, although it was very slow, but it was really improving.

After about half an hour, Willow Brown returned.

"This kid is really diligent, maybe his achievements in the future can surpass me......" Liu Palm looked at Ye Mu who was cultivating in the courtyard, he was not disturbed, and sighed slightly in his heart, this is not the first time Liu Palm has sighed like this.

Ye Mu had actually almost recovered, and was comprehending the last realm of [Sword Step], the "Birth Lotus" realm.

"This last realm seems to be a bit vague, I don't know how Grandpa Bai realized this realm, is it that I'm going in the wrong direction?" Ye Mu opened his eyes, there was a trace of confusion in his eyes, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he muttered secretly in his heart.

"I thought you kid was going to cultivate until dawn?" haha......" At this time, Liu Palm's voice sounded, and I saw him slowly walking to Ye Mu's side.

"Mayor Liu!" Ye Mu heard this, and quickly stood up and bowed to Liu Palm.

Without waiting for Ye Mu to speak, Liu Palm took the lead in asking.

Liu Brown: "Have you studied with that kid from Wu Cheng?"

Ye Mu: "Yes!"

Willow Palm: "How's it going?"

Ye Mu: "I have benefited a lot!"

Willow Brown: "That's good, follow me!"

Ye Mu knew that this was going to demonstrate the eight-sided stick technique to himself, and respectfully followed behind Liu Palm.

Coming to a corner of the courtyard, Liu Brown took out a thin stick about two meters long, and Ye Mu stepped aside.

"Look carefully, concentrate!" Liu Brown waved his long stick twice, looked at Ye Mu and reminded.

Ye Mu nodded, his eyes fixed on Liu Palm. The next moment, Liu Palm's body was released, and the whole person seemed to be wrapped in a layer of faint mist, and a powerful aura emanated out like nothing, Ye Mu instantly felt that there was not a person in front of him, but a mountain.

"Is this Hua Xuan's sense of oppression? Just emitting a trace of breath, I'm a little out of breath......" Ye Mu was shocked in his heart, this feeling had never happened to Bai Chen, maybe Bai Chen had already managed to retract and release freely, Liu Brown obviously didn't get to that point, but it was still terrifying.

Just when Ye Mu was secretly frightened, Liu Palm made a move, and Ye Mu hurriedly concentrated on Liu Palm's demonstration.

Airplanes...... Airplanes......

The long stick was waved, making a sound that cut through the air, Ye Mu only saw countless stick shadows flickering, and couldn't help but squint his eyes, staring at Liu Brown tightly.

"This set of stick method is both long and short, double single and single, the method is many and dense, with circle, point, gun, cut, pump, pick, pluck, bullet, switch, mark, sweep, press, knock, hit fourteen words as the key. Varied, with the unicorn step to perform, there are three tricks, namely the green willow silk, the golden rooster independence, and the green snake fluttering face. ”

Liu Brown explained to Ye Mu while performing it, and Ye Mu also bowed slightly: "I didn't expect this Octagon stick method to have so many changes, it's really a masterpiece!"

After the demonstration, Liu Brown stood with a stick, looked at Ye Mu and asked, "How is it, what do you see in this Bafang stick method?"

Ye Mu: "You make me feel that this stick method is varied, especially those three moves, I think if I hadn't seen this stick method in advance and challenged Qin Yu, there was a chance that I would not be an opponent." ”

"Now, how sure do you think you are?" asked Willow Brown softly, tilting her head.

Ye Mu: "Now...... Well, about five points of certainty!" Ye Mu pondered for a moment and stretched out five fingers.

"Almost, you also know the advantage of this stick method, that is, it is varied, but it also has a weakness, that is, the unicorn step he uses together. ”

Liu Palm's words suddenly made Ye Mu wonder: "Qilin step, isn't the cooperation between the two stronger? Why is this Qilin step the weakness of this stick method?"

"You're right, the Bafang stick method with the Qilin Step is indeed stronger, but the so-called extremely rigid and easy to break, this Qilin Step itself is an extremely strong footwork, so in these last three moves, you only need to use the sword to attack Qin Yu's lower plate remotely, and these three moves can be self-defeating. ”

Liu Brown smiled and said to Ye Mu, and in the end, his eyes seemed to see the picture of Qin Yu being defeated by Ye Mu, and the smile on his face continued.

Liu Palm's explanation made Ye Mu realize: "What do you mean, Qin Yu doesn't have Qin Laohei's strength after all, so it's okay to use this stick technique, but Qilin Bu hasn't fully mastered it, right? Especially when he performs the last three moves, he must concentrate, so if he doesn't let him get close, he can make him scramble when he attacks from a distance, so he can defeat him......"

"You are really very smart, as soon as I mention it, you will understand, you can teach! Now, your chances of winning will be eight points!" Liu Palm looked at Ye Mu's eyes with appreciation, and liked Ye Mu more and more.

"Why are there only eight points?Can there be other changes?" Ye Mu asked puzzledly, he knew the weakness, he should be sure to win, and besides, Qin Yu didn't know anything about himself.

"As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles, this is true, but we don't fully understand this Qin Yu, and we don't know his true cultivation. Willow Brown returned to his serious face and calmly analyzed.

"It's me who is too arrogant......" Ye Mu understood that he was still underestimating the enemy, and this mentality was very bad.

"You're not arrogant, you're a little underestimated. The mentality still needs to be tempered!" Liu Brown said indifferently.

"I remember. Ye Mu bent down and saluted to Liu Palm, after all, Liu Palm is also an elder, and this worship is nothing.

"Remember, no matter when and where, don't despise your enemies, you are likely to capsize in the gutter!" Liu Palm said solemnly, he still likes Ye Mu very much, so he will say so much.

"Alright, go back and have a good rest, and get ready for tomorrow's competition. As soon as Liu Brown's words fell, Ye Mu saw a vague shadow disappear at the gate of the courtyard.

(PS: I heard that the epidemic will end soon, I am very happy to know the news, I hope everyone can be safe and healthy!)
