Chapter 10 Competition
"You say, how many moves can Chu Xiaowen stick to?" Chu Xingxian leaned against the window and asked in a very good mood.
"One move. Chu Luo laughed.
Chu Jiwu shook his head and said, "After all, Chu Xiaowen has studied with the instructors for so many years, no matter how useless he is, he won't be able to catch a single move." ”
"I guess three tricks are enough. Su Changge's eyes flickered.
The others nodded in agreement, they could win in the outer courtyard and be approved to enter the villa, Bai Xi and the three of them were naturally very talented people, even much better than most of the Chu family's children, with Su Changge's understanding of Bai Xi, it was not surprising that he would reach the peak of the Taixuan Realm before the age of fifteen.
And Chu Xiaowen has not shown his cultivation in front of outsiders, but his cultivation time is too short, and half of his time is spent working every day, how can he compare with other Chu family disciples who practice diligently every morning. When Chu Xingxian and others humbly asked for advice, Chu Xiaowen was still carrying water to clean the school, and when others competed in martial arts and confirmed their swordsmanship, Chu Xiaowen was sitting in a carriage and went to the city to purchase.
The difference in cultivation time was doubled, which was the biggest gap, and they all remembered the joke when Chu Xiaowen chose the exercises and swordsmanship.
Although the collection of books in the Chu Family Book Pavilion is a first-class cultivation method, what Xiang Jiao Xi recommended for him was the most ordinary Jing Qi technique in the Book Pavilion, and when he chose a sword technique, the chief teacher Xi directly asked him not to choose any sword technique, but just picked a body method for him, which confirmed Chu Xiaowen's reputation as a waste from then on.
Chu Xiaowen watched Bai Xi come from upstairs with a sharp eye, and then hugged his fists at Chu Xiaowen and said, "I'm Bai Xi, this should be Senior Brother Chu Xiaowen." ”
Chu Xiaowen nodded, his eyes were flat, and asked, "You have something to do with me?"
The corners of Bai Xi's mouth provoked: "I practiced hard every day in the private school, how many times I broke my palm because of swinging a sword, how many nights I never sleeped, and after a lot of hard work, I finally got the appreciation of the teacher and entered Chujiazhuang to study." ”
Bai Xi's words immediately attracted the attention of the guests in the building, and he looked at this young man with some surprise, being able to enter Chujiazhuang from the Chu family's private school, which in itself was surprising enough, which showed that this young man had a talent that ordinary people could hardly achieve.
Chu Xiaowen's face was flat, and he arched his hand: "Congratulations." ”
Bai Xi was stunned when he heard this, his eyes narrowed and he continued: "But some people, who are obviously just people who are separated from the family, can enter the Chujiazhuang School without merit, and their cultivation is even more miserable, even the teaching and learning think that it is not suitable for any kind of swordsmanship, you say that I have paid ten times the effort of ordinary people to get the opportunity, why can someone get all this for nothing, do you think I should be convinced?"
Bai Xi suddenly lay down his clothes, revealing his chest, and immediately the guests in the building gasped, only to see a centipede-like scar, from the left chest to the right chest, such a shocking scar, even those Jianghu high-rollers were shocked.
"How much did I pay for my cultivation, but you who are not from the Chu family's own family at all have all the resources I desperately obtained, do you think I can be convinced?"
Bai Xi's words sounded in the quiet building, and many people automatically stood on Bai Xi's side, if they were Bai Xi, of course it would be impossible to be convinced.
Therefore, when Bai Xi said, "I will fight you in a duel." At that time, everyone else felt that this was a reasonable request, and as a member of the Chu family, Chu Xiaowen should also take on this challenge, if he was defeated, it just showed that he was not qualified to enjoy the cultivation of the Chu family now, but at least he could still maintain his dignity as a swordsman.
Chu Xingxian looked at Bai Xi and smiled even more happily: "This Bai Xi is really not simple. ”
Su Changge's eyes flashed with pride, after today, they would be able to truly get the approval of the children of the Chu family.
Liu Meixue pinched her fingers and pursed her lips, turning blue and white because she was too hard, but she didn't have the courage to stand up and say something for Chu Xiaowen.
But at this time, someone did what she wanted to do but didn't dare to do, Chu Li pushed open the door and hurriedly walked downstairs, shouting anxiously: "If you have something to say, don't do it, Xiaowen, let's talk about it when I go back to the villa." ”
Chu Li is the young head of the Chu family, Bai Xi immediately panicked when he saw him come down to dissuade him, but Chu Xingxian and the others were stunned, they were all attracted by the following situation, no one even paid attention to when Chu Li went out, at this time, with Chu Li's identity to stop the two, Bai Xi of course did not dare to insist on a duel with Chu Xiaowen.
But to their surprise, Chu Xiaowen spoke.
"I accept your challenge. ”
Chu Li was stunned for a moment, and said with some annoyance: "Xiaowen, don't be confused. ”
But before he could finish his words, he was immediately overshadowed by the cheers of the spectators in the building.
"Well, of course it's the men. ”
"The duel of the children of the Chu family, this is the first time I have seen it, let's start it quickly. ”
Although Bai Xi's words just now were reasonable, and the surrounding spectators seemed to be pulled to his side, the guests in Fengyulou were not simple people, and they always maintained an attitude that they didn't care about themselves, in fact, Chu Xiaowen would not say anything if he refused on the spot.
However, sometimes others just want to watch a lively mood and a few words, but it can have an unexpected effect, Bai Xi gambled that Chu Xiaowen was young and vigorous, and he couldn't stand the excitement, and at this time it was obvious that he was taking the bait.
Bai Xi and the few people upstairs were very happy, and Chu Feng said to Chu Li: "Xiao Li, we are swordsmen, since Chu Xiaowen has agreed, there is no intention of repenting, you still respect his choice." ”
Chu Li looked at Chu Xiaowen hesitantly, the latter was still a plain appearance at this time, and it was still this dead fish eye at this time, which was really infuriating.
Chu Li shook his head and stepped aside.
In the center of the hall of the wind and rain building is a stage for singers and musicians to perform, at this time, under the pressure of Chu Xingxian and a few people, the boss of the wind and rain building sweated profusely to give up this stage, and also prepared a wooden sword for the two.
"You be careful, Bai Xi can enter the village, his swordsmanship is not worse than most of the Chu family's children, and his cultivation is also higher than mine, if you can't do it, surrender." Chu Li pulled Chu Xiaowen, who was about to come to the stage, and said in a low voice.
Chu Xiaowen smiled at him gratefully and didn't say anything.
Bai Xi looked at Chu Xiaowen, who walked onto the stage calmly, and couldn't help but sneer.
The drinkers moved their chairs and sat on the edge of the stage, called peanuts and melon seeds, and waited with great interest to see the excitement.
Chu Xingxian and the others were also looking at Chu Xiaowen with a mocking face, betting on how many tricks this duel would take to end.
"Please. Bai Xi raised his wooden sword mockingly.
Chu Xiaowen lowered the wooden sword and said, "Please." ”
As soon as the word fell, Bai Xi moved, and the blue light on the wooden sword condensed, like a real sword flickering with cold light, and the cold breath approached Chu Xiaowen.
"Cold Light Sword Technique?" Chu Feng frowned, this white practice is really not simple, the Cold Light Sword Technique is the most powerful sword technique that the disciples in the private school can come into contact with, and it is also the most difficult sword technique to cultivate, and its power is not weaker than some treasures of the Chu Family Library.
And Bai Xi can do cold light everywhere, it can be seen that his cultivation is already very high, and the cold light sword technique has also been small, which is already a first-class master at their age.
There are also many people who practice Xuangong, and two of them have even reached the cultivation of the Heavenly and Human Realm, but when they saw this cold light, they couldn't help but show a look of amazement.
Bai Xi was very nervous, not because the opponent was too strong, according to his understanding, the opponent in front of him was simply vulnerable, because the opponent had not even learned decent swordsmanship, what made him nervous was the children of the Chu family upstairs, the young master of the Chu family on the side of the stage, he was about to stand out in front of these people that the family needed to look up to, and he would enter the world of the strong in the future.
Therefore, as soon as he made a move, it was all his strength, and it was the strongest blow, and he wanted to defeat Chu Xiaowen in the shortest possible time, so that the children of the Chu family would value him more.
The cold light swept through the air, like a stab of ice, completely freezing Chu Xiaowen, who was still unprepared.
With a blow without suspense, Liu Meixue and Chu Li's screams both reached their throats, preparing for the final outburst.
When the cold light came to Chu Xiaowen only one foot, Chu Xiaowen's sword moved, but in everyone's opinion, his slow reaction was already bound to fail.
Chu Xiaowen's sword was indeed very late, but when he moved, the air seemed to freeze, and a ghost swept in front of Chu Xiaowen.
Then with a bang, in Bai Xi's incredulous gaze, a wooden sword flew up.
The cold light suddenly dissipated, and Bai Xi's wooden sword broke, as if it had been cut by a very sharp sword, neatly and evenly.
Bai Xi froze instantly, maintaining a stabbing posture and froze in front of Chu Xiaowen.
And Chu Xiaowen on the other side was still hanging his sword, as if he hadn't moved it at all, as if it was really a ghost who was haunting him just now, so he would break Bai Xi's amazing sword.
There was an eerie silence in the restaurant for a moment.
"What a fast sword. ”
The silence was broken by a blue-robed long-bearded master, who was also one of the two Heavenly and Human Realm masters in the field.
And immediately after, another master of the Heavenly and Human Realm also said the same thing.
"What a fast sword. ”
Chu Xingxian and the others also froze in place, the mockery on their faces had not yet dissipated, but they were frozen.
"I have been taught. Chu Xiaowen arched his hand at Bai Xi, who was standing five steps away, and walked off the stage.
"You, you..." Chu Li opened his mouth and pointed at Chu Xiaowen who couldn't say more for a while.
"Bird's Nest Cake, who wants the bird's nest cake......" At this time, Xiao Er shouted while walking out of the kitchen with a paper bag, and suddenly found that the atmosphere in the hall was not right, so he also stood still and looked around with some doubts.
"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry. Chu Xiaowen bowed to Chu Li, took Xiao Er's paper bag in the past, and instead put the wooden sword on the little second-hand with an unknown face, and then turned around and left the restaurant.
