Chapter 9: Martial Arts
In the blink of an eye, they came to the training ground, surrounded by candles, and heard that Senior Brother Li Xiao was going to learn martial arts with Shen Ming, which attracted the disciples to come and watch.
"Who do you think will win?"
"Nonsense, of course it's Senior Brother Li Xiao!"
"That's it, Senior Brother Li Xiao is so powerful, the fourth order of qi refining, and Shen Mingcai's second order of body refining, how can it be compared?"
"Hey, you're mistaken, senior brother can't show his skills, otherwise how can he compare?"
"Cut, even if you don't run Xuan Qi, Senior Brother is also a ninth-order refining body, just a second-order, how can it be compared?"
"That's not necessarily, even if Senior Brother is unlucky, I don't think he will be able to beat Shen Ming."
"Just kidding, how could Shen Ming win?"
"It seems that you haven't tried it with Shen Ming, I don't know how powerful Shen Ming is, first of all, no matter which level of the body refining realm, the difference will not be too big, even if Senior Brother Li Xiao is a ninth order, it is only a little stronger than Shen Ming's body, and the strongest strength in the body refining realm is nothing more than smashing stones."
"And the battle is not only about strength, but also on skill, finding the opponent's quasi-weakness, breaking them one by one, relying solely on brute force, it will only be yourself who suffers."
"After many battles with Shen Ming, you will know that he will never be tough, what he is good at is skillfully maneuvering, seeing the right time, and finally winning from it."
……
Suddenly, Shen Xue squeezed away everyone, walked in front of Shen Ming, grabbed his arm, and said solemnly:
"Stinky boy, where did you go just now, you haven't finished your work yet, and you want to be lazy, don't you, come with me!"
"Senior sister, I'm about to compete with my senior brother, why don't you wait?" Shen Ming replied embarrassedly, trying to break free of Shen Xue's little hand, but was unexpectedly grabbed by her.
"What is it better than that, I said Li Xiao, shouldn't you be a senior brother to get along with your junior brothers, why are you still bullying your junior brothers?" Shen Xue scolded angrily.
"Senior sister, how can I bully him, we are just learning martial arts, and the junior brother has agreed."
"Yes, senior sister, I'll compare with him, as the saying goes, when you are strong, you are strong, maybe you can learn something?"
Shen Ming smiled lightly, and Shen Xue glanced at him.
"Stinky boy, what is it compared to, do you know how powerful he is, just your three-legged cat kung fu, how can you beat him, I am afraid that you will be embarrassed, come to the rescue, don't you know what to do!"
Shen Xue leaned close to his chest and whispered.
Shen Ming inexplicably felt a trace of warmth in his heart, this was the first time he had been protected since he woke up, it turned out to be this feeling, it was not bad, but in this competition, he had made up his mind, whether he could fight or not, he would know after the competition!
"Senior sister, my three-legged cat kung fu, didn't you take advantage of it?" Shen Ming laughed jokingly.
"Stinky boy, dare to talk back?"
Shen Xue's eyes widened angrily, and when she just wanted to raise her hand to scare him, she was added to the vinegar by him and sneered:
"Senior sister, I'm telling the truth, but then again, even you can't beat me, can he beat me, or does senior sister think she is worse than him?"
"How is that possible?!" Shen Xue's face was ashamed and angry.
"So senior sister, don't underestimate me, you just watch from the sidelines, I'm not so easy to defeat." Shen Ming was full of confidence and pulled her aside.
"Alright then, be careful, don't get hurt."
Shen Xue's face was full of worry, but she couldn't persuade her, so she had to stand by and warn Li Xiao in the distance:
"Hey, arrogant, Xiao Ming is the future of our sect, you can't hurt him, otherwise I won't let you go, and my father will settle accounts with you!"
"Senior sister, don't worry, I have my own measure, but since it is a martial arts competition, there is naturally friction, whether he will lose a hair, then I dare not guarantee it."
Li Xiao snorted and laughed, disapproving.
"You're ......!" Shen Xue was indignant.
Seeing her clenching her fists, she couldn't wait to give Li Xiao a punch right away to reduce his arrogant attitude, but their cultivation was three orders apart, and they couldn't beat it.
"Sure enough, if there is a father, there must be a son, a guy who looks down on people with dog eyes, sooner or later I will surpass you, wait to be trampled under my feet, hum!" Shen Xue scolded secretly.
Then, they walked into the round ring, their eyes confronted each other, all slightly sharp, the competition time was a pillar of incense, and once the time passed, the winner who was still on the stage.
Suddenly, the incense was lit and the competition officially began!
"Senior brother, don't be polite to me, make a move!"
Li Wei stood still and stuck the paper fan in his belt.
"In that case, then you're welcome!"
As soon as the words fell, Shen Ming rushed up, and when he was close to Li Xiao, he clenched his fists and bombarded with heavy fists!
In the face of Shen Ming's heavy punch, Li Xiao was still calm, seeing that he raised his right hand, he used all his strength to catch Shen Ming's fist steadily, and pushed it back.
"The strength is so strong!"
Shen Ming couldn't help but sigh, Li Xiao's strength was different from other disciples, and it was even stronger than Shen Xue, and if he was tough, it wouldn't do Shen Ming any good.
It seems that the only way to win is to win by maneuvering!
"Senior brother, how do you feel?" Li Xiao smiled lightly.
"Senior brother is really strong, in terms of strength, senior brother really has nothing to do with you, but don't be too proud, otherwise it will be easy to suffer." Shen Ming responded, fearless.
"Oh, is it? Then let Senior Brother see if you have the qualifications to make me suffer! Li Xiao sneered, and in an instant, he took the initiative to attack.
Seeing Li Xiao's right leg sweeping over, Shen Ming did not panic in the slightest, seeing that his body leaned back slightly, Li Xiao's trouser leg brushed his nose with him, and the attack was easily dodged.
But that's not all!
Li Xiao's frustrated right leg instantly supported the ground, and his left leg swept quickly from Shen Ming's feet!
However, I saw Shen Ming flip back, dodging again, and was not taken advantage of by Li Xiao's attack.
Shen Xue was worried, and all the disciples couldn't take their eyes off it.
"I didn't expect Shen Ming's reaction to be so agile, if it were me, I'm afraid I would have been kicked down by my senior brother a long time ago."
"If Shen Ming continues to choose to hide, maybe it will take time until the end of the game, but this will be boring."
"But compared to strength, how can Shen Ming compare to Li Xiao?"
……
Everyone discussed, some people were optimistic about Shen Ming, and some people bet that Li Xiao would win, each with their own opinions.
In the ring, seeing that Li Xiao was chasing after him, he continued to attack Shen Ming, punching and kicking, left hook, right hook, right leg sweep, left leg kick......
The move swept the audience.
In the face of such a ferocious attack, seeing Shen Ming dodging left and right, leaning forward and flipping back, dodging one by one, those who couldn't dodge could only block with both arms, and were forced to retreat step by step by Li Xiao!
In everyone's opinion, the outcome has been decided, and Shen Ming has no chance to fight back at all, so he can only dodge and consume time, and if he continues like this, he will be suppressed from the ring sooner or later.
When Shen Xue saw it, she breathed a sigh of relief, although she also knew that Shen Ming couldn't win, but as long as he was fine, the future would be long, and there would be opportunities in the future.
However, Shen Ming showed a subtle smile, not caring about other people's discussions, and seemed to be forced to retreat step by step, but in fact this was one of his tactics.
Taking retreat as advance, consuming the opponent's physical strength, waiting for the opportunity, seeing a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes, he secretly said in his heart: Who loses and who wins, it is not necessarily!
