Chapter 7 The Way of the Sword
Just because Su Mu is the personal disciple of the senior brother of the head of the family, can he take over as the head of the family, Li Mengru obviously didn't think so, and he didn't take it too seriously when he said to the head senior brother that Su Mu was extremely talented. If this kid is really so talented, how can he have been unknown for so many years? And the senior brother in charge usually doesn't talk much about this kid himself. How can a master not want to show off his disciple's talent?
What Li Mengru didn't expect was that although he had already noticed it, the head Gao Yuanshan always thought that Su Mu was not bad, and he didn't know how high it was. Coupled with his previous experience, he was overly cautious when it came to the growth of his disciples. It wasn't until yesterday that it was completely confirmed that Su Mu's talent belonged to the level of shocking the world, and today he couldn't wait to come and announce it to the whole sect.
"Senior Brother Boss, you say that this kid is a genius who surpasses Encheng?" Li Mengru already had an idea in his heart at this time, and got up and asked.
"I didn't say that. Gao Yuanshan replied nonchalantly.
"But weren't you just now..."Don't you still recognize what the senior brother himself said?
"What I'm saying is that it's not just Encheng, this kid's talent surpasses everyone in the twenty-three generations of the Cold Mountain Sword Sect, including the recorded Sword Sect Patriarch. Gao Yuanshan still only replied faintly.
"Everyone..."Li Mengru gasped, at this moment he was already a little convinced that the senior brother in charge was bluffing, and said through gritted teeth, "Senior brother in charge must have already had very sufficient evidence to give such a high evaluation." ”
"That's true. Gao Yuanshan replied, "I know that you will have doubts and dissatisfaction with this decision. But I, Gao Yuanshan, under the witness of the ancestors of the ancestral hall, swear by the reputation of the current head of the Hanshan Sword Sect, everything I say is true, and I don't say anything. ”
"Even though the senior brother has said so, why don't we let our little genius show his hands and compete with Encheng, so that everyone can open their eyes?" Li Mengru couldn't wait to launch a challenge. In his opinion, even if such an unknown child really has a very high level of understanding, at the age of ten, he is only at the level of the physical refining realm, and it is only limited. Not to mention how far he can grow in another six or seven years, even if he may surpass Li Encheng in the future, but now from the perspective of qualifications, it must be that Li Encheng is more qualified to take over as the head.
After all, to take on the responsibility of the master of a sect, it is not just a matter of talent, and it is unknown when it will be fulfilled. If it is only a little more talented, then it is still unknown who can reach a higher realm between him and Li Encheng. After all, in addition to talent, the heart is also very important, and Li Mengru is very confident in Li Encheng's heart.
"This is natural..."Before the head of the sect Gao Yuanshan could speak, the great elder on the side preemptively spoke, "Since this is the case, then the head of the sect should not shirk." Although the three of us don't believe that the head of the sect will be a person who talks about it, we still have to come up with more direct evidence to convince the whole sect. Let's take a few old bones to see how amazing and brilliant the most talented young people in the Cold Mountain Sword Sect are for hundreds of years. As if he had already prepared, the Great Elder cut into the conversation.
Gao Yuanshan smiled helplessly, he could understand the Great Elder's impatience, but he didn't mean to excuse himself at all.
"Well, since the Great Elders have said so, then, Mu'er, you can have a competition with Encheng, no problem. Gao Yuanshan, the head of the house, said to Su Mu in the audience.
I want to compete with the elder brother. Like other disciples in the sect, Su Mu also admired the strength and character of the senior brother very much, but now that he was suddenly placed on the opposite side of the senior brother, Su Mu was a little uncomfortable.
"The disciple obeys the teacher's orders. Su Mu still agreed, although he didn't know about the head of the house, and he didn't think about being the head of the house, since Gao Yuanshan had asked for it, he didn't want to live up to Gao Yuanshan's expectations.
Fight is a battle, you have to believe in yourself, and believe in Gao Yuanshan's affirmation of yourself. Thinking of this, the excitement in the swordsmanship competition that he had just experienced last night surged into Su Mu's heart again.
Senior brother Li Encheng was obviously a little surprised, he was still a little dissatisfied when he heard Gao Yuanshan Li Mengru say that he wanted Xiao Su Mu to compete with him. Not to mention that Xiao Su Mu is only ten years old, and he is already a powerhouse in the Star Falling Realm, even if he is placed in the entire Tu Nan Kingdom, he can be regarded as a little famous, so isn't it a big bully to let himself fight with the little junior brother.
What surprised Li Encheng even more was that the little junior brother didn't even think much about it and directly agreed, looking at Su Mu's excited and confident expression, what was going on, did he really think that he could defeat himself? The true qi fluctuation on his body was clearly only condensed and the artistic conception was only.
Li Encheng felt a little strange, he had the impression that the little junior brother hadn't been to the dojo to practice for a long time, when was he promoted to Ning Artistic Conception?
After taking a closer look at Xiao Su Mu, Li Encheng found that this little junior brother who had never paid much attention to it was a little incomprehensible.
"Is this good, Senior Brother Chief, Encheng has reached the Star Falling Realm not long ago, and there is a difference of three levels between him and Su Mu, are you sure you want to let the two of them compete?"
"It's okay Master, I won't bully the small with the big, I will only suppress my true qi to compete with the little junior brother. We only compete in the kendo realm. Without waiting for the head Gao Yuanshan to speak, Li Encheng hurriedly spoke, "Moreover, the junior brother has reached the condensation realm, and he is indeed extremely talented among disciples at this age." ”
This opportunity to come to the door is impossible for Li Encheng to let go. And he himself really wanted to compete with this talented little junior disciple in the head of the lofty mountain pass.
"In that case, let's start with a stick of incense. Gao Yuanshan, the head of the house, said.
"Come on, senior brother, let everyone see that you are the most suitable person to be the leader!" Li Xihan, the fourth senior brother who has the most iron relationship with the senior brother and the same family, cheered Li Encheng up.
"Of course. Li Encheng replied, he has always been the first candidate for the head of everyone's hearts, the pride of the sky, but today he was removed in front of the public, even if his heart is weak and tenacious, it is inevitable that some teenagers will not be convinced.
"Then, please give advice to Senior Brother Su Mu. Li Encheng said to Su Mu.
"Su Mu doesn't dare, please ask the senior brother for advice. Su Mu responded, neither humble nor arrogant.
Su Mu's attitude made Li Encheng a little surprised, and it seemed to be a little different from the little junior brother who didn't talk much in his impression. Li Encheng didn't be polite any more, and directly swung his sword to meet him. Originally, the two of them were not far apart, but this sudden attack instantly approached Su Mu's body, and a slash was about to hit Su Mu's shoulder.
Li Encheng did not break his promise, but only used the true qi of condensation, and his goal in this competition was to prove that he was worthy of the position of leader. Not only talent, but also virtue is important.
And just the speed of condensing the artistic conception is a little too much for the current Su Mu, Su Mu very calmly sideways to avoid Li Encheng's blow, and pulled out his sword with his backhand to go straight to Li Encheng's waist.
Li Encheng obviously didn't expect that Su Mu was not only not raided, but also organized a counterattack so quickly. This counterattack angle is not tricky. You can easily block it yourself. Su Mu's ten-year-old body is still too short, and he does not have the advantage of angles, so he must try his best to force Su Mu into a frontal duel of strength and speed.
Li Encheng instantly devised his thoughts, he thought that he should be able to defeat Su Mu within five moves.
The "bell" gold and iron collided, Li Enchengge blocked a sword stabbed by Su Mu to his waist, bounced Su Mu away, and then grabbed the gap and took Su Mu's front directly, and connected it with a powerful swing.
However, to Li Encheng's surprise, Su Mu did not choose to block his frontal blow, but dodged to the left the moment he was bounced away, and stabbed through Li Encheng's defenseless shoulder with extremely accurate and fast stabs.
Fragments of the robes were stained with blood and sprinkled on the floor of the ancestral hall.
The audience was silent.
"Brother Mu won!" Otowa's generous personality made her shout directly, which made everyone come back to their senses.
According to the expectations of almost everyone present, this fight can be said to be over very quickly. The competition between the same sect is mainly based on competition, not life and death fighting. Therefore, as long as one side is hit and injured in the body, the fight is considered to be the winner and loser. It was clear that Lee Eun-sung was the one who was hit. Although Li Encheng did not use all his strength, it was Li Encheng himself who did not bully the big and suppressed Xiu Wei to fight against Su Mu, so no one thought that Li Encheng was wronged to lose.
It's just that this will end too quickly, and it's only three moves.
The senior brother I have always admired, is it at such a level? Although he knew that Li Encheng did not show all his strength, the attack method chosen by Li Encheng was really full of loopholes, and Su Mu found no less than ten ways to subdue Li Encheng in an instant, but he was a little afraid to start because he was not used to the swordsmanship competition.
It's a bit boring. It's not the same as yesterday's excitement.
At this time, Li Encheng's face turned red, he didn't show all his strength, but the attack of the junior brother just now was just the level of the condensation conception. That is to say, in the case of the same true qi realm of the two, competing in the swordsmanship realm, the junior brother Su Mu defeated himself within three moves, and the defeat was so easy and free, just like the practice of basic moves, which made his self-esteem difficult to accept.
Could it be that there is such a big gap in the swordsmanship realm between the two people, the junior brother is still a ten-year-old child.
Li Encheng, who was in a trance, glanced at his master Li Mengru a little helplessly for the first time, and Li Mengru's face was also full of astonishment at this time. The naked reality is placed in front of the master and apprentice, and they are not allowed to argue, can it be said that if they do not exert their full strength, the competition does not count? When encountering a real swordsmanship competition or a life-and-death struggle, the slightest carelessness and underestimation of the enemy may cost their own lives. Taking every competition seriously, this is the concept that every disciple of the Cold Mountain Sword Sect has been educated from the beginning of sword practice.
So at the moment, Li Encheng can't find any excuse for losing.
However, just when Li Encheng himself was about to admit defeat, Su Mu spoke first.
"Master in charge, just now the senior brother didn't show all his strength to compete with the disciples, and the apprentice thinks that this competition should not be counted, and asks the senior brother to take it seriously, go all out, and fight again. Su Mu's tone was very sincere and authentic.
