Chapter 34: The Battle of Master and Apprentice
Time passes like flowing water unconsciously, and a year is in the blink of an eye.
Yi Mo has lived a fulfilling life every day during this year of college life. In the morning, he practiced magic under the teaching of Ye Wuxian, in the afternoon, he studied and cultivated the martial arts with Dongfang Buliang and practiced martial arts on his own, and in the evening, he took a walk with Gu Ayayue, occasionally gathered with Jack and them, and practiced the Illusion Ci Sutra and meditation in the evening, but he was also at ease.
Yi Mo has never been to the public class except for the first day, and has completely lived a "secluded" life. Murong Xiong, who was looking for Yi Mo last time, seemed to be really afraid that Dongfang was not bright, and he didn't have trouble looking for Yi Mo anymore. What makes Yi Mo feel strange is that even the second son of the current head of the Snaby family, Medrill Snaby, who was married to Yi Mo during the entrance test, is the rich second generation who is bound to repay him, and he didn't come to trouble Yi Mo at all, and it is estimated that something happened to him.
In this year, Yi Mo found that when he slept at night, under the effect of the Illusion of Compassion Sutra, not only did his sleep quality be very good, but his cultivation of the mental method was also improving, killing two birds with one stone. With hard work, Jack and Eric have both advanced to the Great Swordsman, Christine has advanced to the Intermediate Great Magister, and Gu Ayayue has successfully advanced to the High-level Great Magi under the guidance of the Law Saint Ye Wuji, and everyone has made great progress.
In addition, Jack was very curious about the "strange" kung fu used by Yi Mo to kill the Feilin Wind Tiger in the last round of testing, and it happened that Yi Mo also had the heart to teach him, so he planned to teach him. But when Yi Mo recited a trick of light power and water floating, he was immediately dumbfounded, not to mention the awkward rapping of classical Chinese, it took most of the day just to teach Jack the luck dantian, not to mention the profound eight veins of the strange scriptures. Jack had no choice but to give up.
Due to Yi Mo's diligent study and hard work under the guidance of the two masters and his own talent, the magician rank has reached the level of a magician, and there are faint signs of breaking through to the great magician, but in the eyes of outsiders, Yi Mo has no magic fluctuations at all.
At the same time, he decisively gave up the cultivation of other magic except for the thunder system, because he knew that there was a reason for specialization in the art industry. In terms of martial arts and fighting spirit, he has reached the rank of a middle-level great swordsman, which is due to the learning from Dongfang Buliang on the one hand, and the help of the Heart Illusion Compassion Heart Sutra left to him by Yi Mo's father on the other hand.
Seeing that Ye Wuxian Dongfang Buliang's agreed one-year period was approaching, the two elders were even more happy in their hearts, who had ever seen that he could cross two levels from a great warrior to an intermediate great swordsman within a year, and jump from a middle-level magician to a high-level magician? Since then, Dongfang Buliang has been smiling from ear to ear every day, and he almost said how good his apprentice is without meeting anyone, and although Ye Wuxian is not as exaggerated as Dongfang Buliang, he is also relieved.
The one-year period was approaching, and although Yi Mo had spent a lot of time on magic martial arts, he had never given up practicing the Wind Resisting Technique and the Qiankun Shock Combat Technique. The wind trick has broken through from the first heavy vigorous and resolute to the second heavy wind, and there are vague signs of breaking through to the third layer. And the Qiankun Shock Attack Tactics have been cultivated to the second level of shock slashing. The Illusion of Compassion Sutra has been raised from the original third to the fourth, and is about to break through the fifth.
"Brother, brother!" On this day, Dongfang was not bright and called Ye Wuxian from afar.
Dongfang Buliang pushed open Ye Wuji's small wooden door, and saw Ye Wuxian sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, meditating.
"Oh, brother, what are you still meditating on, today is the day our one-year contract expires!" Dongfang Buliang said and wanted to step forward and pull Ye Wuxi.
"Old boy, what are you anxious about, hasn't Xiao Mo arrived yet?" Ye Wuxian said.
"Of course I'm in a hurry, such an important matter, do you think I can not be in a hurry?" Dongfang Buliang said with round eyes.
"Master Dongfang Buliang, why are you here?" Yi Mogang asked strangely as soon as he entered the door.
"Xiao Mo, I won't hide it from you, in fact, today is the day of my one-year appointment with my brother. Dongfang Buliang said seriously.
"A one-year appointment?" asked Yi Mo, puzzled.
"Yes, a year ago, I begged my brother to divide your apprentice in half, and we agreed that a year later, that is, today, we would see which of the two aspects of magic and martial arts you are more prominent. Dongfang Buliang explained.
"Okay, old boy, don't say much else, Xiao Mo, I hope you can use all the skills you have learned in the past year today!" Ye Wuxian said.
"Yes, Master. Yi Mo replied.
In the open space behind the secluded building.
"Let's test your martial arts this morning, Xiao Mo, you attack me with all your might, I won't fight back, see how far your attack power can go. Remember, use your full strength!" Ye Wuxian said.
Yi Mo nodded, but instead of using the Wind Judgment Sword that had been accompanying him for a year, he held an ordinary long sword.
Yi Mo cast the wind system fighting qi, a layer of silver-white fighting qi shrouded most of Yi Mo's body, because this test was Yi Mo's martial arts fighting qi strength, so he did not use the wind control technique.
Yi Mo's right foot touched the ground, and his body flew towards Ye Wuxian like a sharp arrow, and a straight slash was sent out instantly!
Seeing the momentum, Ye Wuxian unhurriedly swiped with his fingers, and a purple round shield with electric flashes from time to time appeared in front of him, which was an electric shield that could be used by thunder magicians. I saw that between the electric light and flint, Yi Mo's long sword collided with the electric light shield that flashed with electric light, and in an instant, the light on the electric light shield became even worse, Yi Mo only felt that his hands were a little numb, and he hurriedly withdrew his sword, and landed steadily after backflipping.
Yi Mo saw that one move didn't work, and decided to win with a block. I saw his figure wandering on Ye Wuji's side like a ghost, and sure enough, he found a flaw, which was on Ye Wuji's right side of his waist!
The long sword attacked at a tricky angle like a spirit snake, and when it saw that the long sword was about to touch Ye Wuji's robe, the electric light shield that had been blocking Yi Mo and Ye Wuxian before suddenly reappeared, although this time it did not quickly resist Yi Mo's attack, but it firmly stuck the long sword!
Although Yi Mo could clearly feel the crispy numbness coming from the long sword from the electric light shield, since Yi Mo was also learning the magic of the lightning system, the lightning resistance ability was still displayed, and he had been in a stalemate with Ye Wuxi.
After a long while, Yi Mo sank his breath and twisted the long sword violently, Yi Mo could clearly hear the sound of the long sword rubbing against the electric light shield, "squeaking"!
Sure enough, at Yi Mo's insistence, the electric light shield cracked in response, and he was also tired and out of breath!
The first master-apprentice battle ended here, and no one said anything, just let Yi Mo rest well and prepare for another competition in the afternoon.
At noon, Yi Mo used the Illusion of Compassion Sutra to restore his strength, and sure enough, in the afternoon, he was alive again.
"Xiao Mo, how is it, can you still eat?" Dongfang Buliang asked, Yi Mo's opponent in the morning was Ye Wuxian, and the opponent in the afternoon was naturally Dongfang Buliang.
"I'm fine. Yi Mo said simply.
"Well, your opponent is me in the afternoon, and I won't attack you either, you just use magic to attack me. Dongfang Buliang said.
Yi Mo nodded, holding a magic wand that he usually used for training in his hand, a picture of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.
With a wave of the magic wand, a basketball-sized thunderball quickly appeared in Yi Mo's chest, shooting towards Dongfang Buliang at a lightning speed, Dongfang Buliang saw that it was like the wind but remained silent, just raised his hand and patted it lightly, Yi Mo lost control of the thunderball, like a kite with a broken string, smashed into the woods on one side, and the thunderball seemed to fall into the water, and after a burst of ripples, it disappeared immediately. Obviously, Ye Wuxian set up an enchantment for this area.
Before all this happened, Yi Mo's follow-up attack immediately made up, as soon as Yi Mo raised his hand, the five directions of the southeast, northwest, and northwest of the east were not bright, and quickly gathered five thunderballs of the same size as just now, and then with a wave of the magic staff, the thunderballs in five directions quickly smashed towards the east without light.
Dongfang Buliang saw the situation and had no choice but to turn on the wind system fighting qi, no matter how fast he was, he couldn't block the attacks in five directions at the same time. I saw that five basketball-sized thunderballs were quickly submerged in the white fighting qi that was not bright in the east, and the thunderballs rubbed against the fighting qi and made a sizzling sound, and they were all consumed after a while.
At the moment when the thunderball came into contact with the fighting qi, Yi Mo's third round of attacks unfolded again, this time it was not the thunderball, but a magic "thunderbolt technique" that Yi Mo learned after becoming a magician.
In an instant, a few purple clouds appeared not far above Dongfang Buliang's head, Yi Mo raised his hand again, and the clouds in the sky quickly surrounded the purple current, and the first thunderbolt technique fell from the sky! All this was completed in a second! Ye Wuxian, who was standing on the side, nodded unconsciously!
At the same time, Yi Mo also exhausted the last trace of magic power, panting, and at this time, he only felt warm all over his body, and actually broke through to the Great Magician, and the battle ended at the same time.
Half an hour later.
At this time, the three of them were silent, and in the end, Ye Wuxian opened his mouth.
"Old boy, let's both talk about our opinions on Yi Mo's performance, I'll come first," Ye Wuxian glanced at Yi Mo and said, "In all fairness, Yi Mo was able to find my weak side and attack in such a short period of time when I used one percent of my magic power, and shattered my electric light shield, which shows that he has a high perception ability and attack power that far exceeds that of ordinary great swordsmen, Xiao Mo is indeed a martial arts wizard!"
Dongfang Buliang and Yi Mo still didn't speak, and Ye Wuxian said again: "Okay, this is my opinion, old boy, tell me about yours." ”
Dongfang Buliang slowly stood up, looked at Yi Mo, and then at Ye Wuxian, and said, "I also used one percent of my combat power, to be honest, Xiao Mo is indeed a magic wizard." From the beginning, you can cast five thunderballs at the same time, and you can control the direction in which they appear at will, which proves this, and on the other hand, you can integrate and send out three thunderbolts in a row, although it is still a lot worse than the stunt five thunder blasts, but it is really valuable. ”
After saying that, both of them were silent, and only the birds in the grove were heard chirping from time to time.
"Brother, you decide!" Dongfang Buliang couldn't stand the silence, gritted his teeth and spoke.
"......" Ye Wuxian was still silent.
"Two masters, in fact, you should ask my opinion on this matter, shouldn't you?" Yi Mo stood up and said seriously.
Dongfang Buliang and Ye Wuxian glanced at each other and nodded.
"I know that both masters are very good to me, and both want me to use my strengths to learn magic or martial arts. So that one day I will be able to reach your level, and even surpass you. Speaking of which, Yi Mo looked at the second elder.
"I know how ridiculous it is to have a dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, because there has never been a person in history who has ever reached a level of dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, and in the end it has even become extremely mediocre," Yi Mo paused for a moment and said, "Master, you all trust me, so you are all willing to be my master, why don't you trust me in this matter, I believe I can do it, even if it is a dual cultivation of magic and martial arts!"
Looking at Yi Mo's determined eyes, the two elders fell into deep thought, and after a while, they seemed to have something in common, and nodded in unison.
