Chapter 3: The Boy Is in Time (3)
Looking at Su Mu's somewhat timid but very sincere eyes, the purity of the child was unobstructed. Gao Yuanshan didn't want to believe that this favorite child would lie about the reputation of the sect, after all, this was a somewhat withdrawn child who couldn't even speak well when he was a child. Moreover, Su Mu had just practiced the method of solving moves, and Gao Yuanshan had practiced it in his mind, and he thought it was indeed feasible.
Gao Yuanshan, who had finally come to his senses, broke the silence and asked.
"Kid, how many solutions have you come up with so far?"
"Back to Master, there are forty kinds of them in total. Su Mu replied.
"Forty kinds, forty kinds???! Gao Yuanshan's eyes widened, and the wrinkles on his forehead were all squeezed together. Su Mu and Otoyu had never seen Gao Yuanshan with such an expression, and the two of them almost laughed.
"Yes, Master. Su Mu replied.
"Master in charge, in fact, Senior Brother Su Mu has researched two more tricks today, and there are already forty-two kinds. Otowa on the side reminded him.
"Including all the twelve?" Gao Yuanshan asked.
"Yes, but there aren't many ways to deal with basic moves, only about thirty are against twelve. Su Mu replied, Su Mu, who saw Gao Yuanshan's novel expression, was a little happy in his heart, and he spoke a lot more neatly.
"Well... There are only thirty kinds..."Gao Yuanshan couldn't help but think to himself, "Then, what are the other ten?"
"Back to Master, it's the first to tenth styles of the intermediate moves. ”
"Intermediate..."Gao Yuanshan was shocked too much overnight, and he was already a little numb. This is still a ten-year-old child, and it is known as the most talented eldest disciple Li Encheng and fourth disciple Li Xihan in the sect, and it seems that they have just practiced the solution of the middle-level moves.
Yes, the ten-year-old child here is directly creating his own solution.
"Then you, I remember that you entered the sect in the same year as Mu'er, right, have you also learned these moves?"
"Back to the head master, the disciple is dull, Brother Mu first taught me the improvement of the basic moves, but he hasn't taught me to solve the tricks yet!"
"And the improvement of the basic moves?" Gao Yuanshan's eyes widened.
Su Mu said a little embarrassedly, "Actually, it's not an improvement, it's just that Senior Sister Otowa can better understand the connotation of the move, and some simplifications have been made." ”
By now, Gao Yuanshan had completely believed what Su Mu said, and the kid standing in front of him was an out-and-out kendo genius. Even the geniuses of those super-large clans have seen a lot of them, but they have never seen such a talent against the sky. You must know that learning a sword move is only the foundation, and the difference in talent is only in the speed of learning and the harmony of use, and if you want to come up with a standard solution to a sword move, it means that you have thoroughly eaten this sword move. It takes imagination and creativity to do so.
At the moment, Gao Yuanshan had no intention of thinking about anything else, and he no longer had the slightest doubt about what Su Mu said, he just wanted to quickly see what new solutions this Tianzhong genius child had studied. Let yourself be an old bone in your seventies and eighties to open your eyes.
"Child," Gao Yuanshan couldn't help but speak, "Can these solutions and improvements you created yourself let the master see it", after speaking, he felt that there was something wrong, no matter how he was the master of this child, he could be his grandfather at an old age, what was the matter with a hint of longing in this tone.
Su Mu was a little surprised, because he saw a trace of fanaticism in the eyes of Gao Yuanshan, who was meticulous in his impression, that he had never seen before. But he still instinctively responded to Gao Yuanshan's request.
"Understood, Master. With that, Su Mu picked up his sword and set up a posture.
"Ah, no, no, no," Gao Yuanshan hurriedly interrupted when he saw this, "Don't swing in the air this time, let the master use the Hanshan Sword Technique to attack you, and you can just take the move with your solution." ”
"This, a sword duel, but how can I be Master's opponent..."Ten-year-old Su Mu was a little hesitant and timid. This is his master, he has never practiced against his master, the strongest master in the entire sect, the swordsmanship master Gao Yuanshan who has reached the qi deficiency realm, how can he be able to defeat it.
When he first started practicing swords, Master Gao Yuanshan taught Su Mu the division of the realm of cultivation. Except for those geniuses who are cultivating, the average level of disciples of ordinary sects is mostly the lower three grades before the age of sixteen, refining the body, condensing the mind, and passing the pulse. When you reach the Pulse Realm, you can draw qi into the sword. The current Su Mu is the pinnacle of the body refining realm, and the aura foundation has almost reached the level where it can impact the condensation. This kind of aura cultivation can only be regarded as middle to upper-grade. Around the age of forty, you can reach the middle three grades: Star Drop, Sea View, Qi Deficiency, Star Drop Realm has initially reached the Qi Return Heart Gate, and Qi Deficiency Realm has reached its peak. And only the disciples of extremely talented or super-large sects have the opportunity to enter the upper second grade, break through the Sky Realm Imperial Sword, and leave traces of the Divine Retention Realm Sword. Further up is the transcendent realm that is one of the few in the entire Eastern Continent.
Under one person, above billions. The pinnacle of the avenue, the ultimate of life.
There is a chance to storm the legendary realm.
At present, Gao Yuanshan proposed to compete with Su Mu. Su Mu grew up in the Sword Sect since he was a child, so he naturally knew that the sword competition, the moves were part of it, and his own true qi was another matter. The move is compared to the comprehension and thinking of the sword, as well as the reaction power, while the true qi determines the power and strength of the sword. A sword with an empty shelf and no content is powerless, and a sword with no brute force and no moves is stupid, and the true qi of Edgeworth and the realm of kendo are complementary to each other.
Therefore, it is unthinkable to compare a child who is still in the body refining realm with a swordsmanship master who has reached the qi void realm. The teenagers in the sect are generally also taught swordsmanship cultivation by the older generation of inner sect disciples. Even the third uncle, who was in charge of swordsmanship teaching, no one had ever seen him personally compete with others with his sword.
Not to mention the high mountains that are the sect master.
And now that the strongest man in the whole sect was standing in front of him, in addition to being nervous, Su Mu actually had a trace of excitement in his heart.
Ever since he regarded sword practice as a way to cure illness, Su Mu hadn't had a positive mood when holding a sword for a long time. At the moment, he actually had a trace of longing from the bottom of his heart, which made Su Mu a little surprised.
What kind of existence is the sword for oneself?
"Don't worry, kid, Master will suppress the qi cultivation, not use the true qi of the Qi Void Realm, let's only learn swordsmanship. Seeing that Su Mu was a little nervous, Gao Yuanshan couldn't help but cheer him up.
"Yes, Master. Su Mu exhaled, calmed down, and the childishness instantly faded from the child's face, and Gao Yuanshan saw incomparable firmness and calmness in his eyes.
It's like the sword itself.
Otowa consciously stepped back a bit to make room for the two.
Knowing that Su Mu was ready, Gao Yuanshan lifted his sword and attacked forward with the basic style of the Hanshan Sword Technique. And Su Mu also raised his sword for the first time to counterattack.
At this moment, there were three things that surprised Gao Yuanshan very much.
The first is Su Mu's reflexes. In order to test Su Mu's mastery of his own tricks, Gao Yuanshan did not directly use the first form of the basic form of the Cold Mountain Sword Technique as a starting point, but chose the eighth form that was extremely out of the way. In the entire Cold Mountain Sword Technique, the frequency of use of the eighth style can also be said to be very rare, and it is generally only used as a connection between high-level moves. Therefore, it is a bit illogical to start with the eighth form, but it can also ensure that Su Mu is caught off guard.
What he didn't expect was that Su Mu's reaction speed was far above this. Su Mu did not show any panic because the first move was the eighth style, in the face of the menacing Gao Yuanshan, Su Mu very calmly directly blocked his chest, after bounced off Gao Yuanshan's first sword, before Gao Yuanshan bent his body and wanted to stab the second sword, he accurately killed Gao Yuanshan's inner elbow, forcing Gao Yuanshan to be in a dilemma for a while.
retreat, then this move has fallen into an absolute disadvantage. , you may risk an arm injury.
From Su Mu's point of view, the eighth style used by Gao Yuanshan is actually only one of the twelve styles, and he has already memorized and practiced the solution of the twelve styles hundreds of times, so it can be said that he is familiar with it. And Su Mu could also feel that Gao Yuanshan did not use his true qi, and although his sword moves were sharp and clean, his speed was actually not much different from that of his senior brothers.
It's slow. This was Su Mu's first thought. Slow enough that he can calmly predict the movements of Gao Yuanshan's sword moves and counteract them in advance.
The second thing that surprised Gao Yuanshan was Su Mu's own counterattack sword move.
Gao Yuanshan has had countless competitions in his sword career, so he is naturally very aware of every weakness and change in the Hanshan Sword Technique. Although the eighth form is not a lethal sword move, it is used as a link between moves, so it can be said that it is impregnable in itself, and it is difficult to find the angle to counterattack.
In the kendo competition, the moment of making and receiving moves is the time when the weakness is most exposed, and Gao Yuanshan, who has experienced a hundred battles, naturally understands this truth. The opponents I have encountered before will either avoid fighting to adjust their breathing and pace when facing the eighth style, or they will dodge down and aim at the sweep of the lower plate to force back, which are also the two ways of thinking about dealing with the eighth style at present.
At present, Su Mu chose the third way, taking the inner elbow of Gao Yuanshan directly.
Although the position of the inner elbow is very tricky, it is not easy to get it because it is in a close position, and it is easy to expose the weakness due to excessive prominence, so few people will choose it.
It's really enough to go off the rails.
The last thing was the speed of Su Mu's sword moves.
At the beginning, Gao Yuanshan's original intention was to suppress the True Qi cultivation to a body refining realm similar to Su Mu's, not to increase the sword momentum with the True Qi, but to just a move duel. But he didn't expect Su Mu's counterattack to be far from being able to fight by a child in the Body Refining Realm.
This sword, in the simplest way, is fast, it is really fast to the extreme, and as soon as it comes up, it does not drag the mud and water, and goes straight to the joint of the inner elbow, which is the most difficult and dangerous position.
Gao Yuanshan, the head of the Hanshan Sect, has lived for more than seventy years, and he can't remember the last time he saw such a fast sword, and he is not sure if he has encountered such a tricky sword move in his life. It was as if a shadow had passed through his mind, a shadow that had been buried in the deepest part of his memory and never wanted to remember.
Well, Gao Yuanshan, the head of the sect who recovered from a brief loss of consciousness, was able to dodge the sword move when the sword was about to touch, but he was still injured by the sword move, and the wound kept oozing blood.
The head Gao Yuanshan looked at the wound on his elbow, looked at Su Mu, who was standing at a loss, and Otoha, whose eyes widened, still did not recover from the shock.
