Chapter 105 A new person
Shanliang Martial Arts Hall.
This is a relatively large martial arts hall in Yuanhe Prefecture City, with a similar scale to the Wuxiang Martial Arts Hall in Huangtong Prefecture, and is backed by the Qingdi Sect, one of the ten major sects in Daqi.
However, the level of martial arts halls in various prefectures is basically the same.
Most of the instructors are ninth-rank or eighth-rank martial artists, and only some particularly high-end or one-on-one private instructors are at the seventh-rank level.
The apprentices are also at the level of not entering the rank.
This morning.
In the morning training ground of Shanliang Martial Arts Hall, since the morning class practice has not started yet and the morning class instructor has not arrived yet, some apprentices gathered in groups of three or five to discuss the hottest topics recently.
The Wang family is about to hold a martial arts competition.
And the person at the core of this topic is the eldest brother recognized by the apprentices, Li Zhe, who is known as the strongest under the ninth rank in Yuanhe Prefecture.
"Brother Li, I heard that your elder is only fifty years old, but he is already a seventh-grade master. It's just that he doesn't have the secret sixth-grade martial arts, so he can't go one step further. There must be a chance this time."
"Is there any need to ask? There must be no problem. Senior Li has decades of martial arts experience. After entering the seventh grade, his strength is definitely not comparable to those young people."
"When Senior Li comprehends the wordless tablet and obtains the sixth-grade martial arts, and then asks for permission from the Wang family, then Brother Li will be able to soar to the sky!"
"Yes, if the family has a secret sixth-grade martial arts inheritance, it will be ranked among the top in the entire Yuanhe Mansion."
"I'm so envious."
"I heard that there is also a master living in Bai Jingtian's house? He also taught him martial arts. Bai Jingtian has made great progress recently."
"What's so great? He was knocked down by Senior Li in three moves. He is not vulnerable at all."
"That master is probably just a half-baked dud."
A bunch of apprentices talked a lot, and most people were still praising the elders of Li Zhe's family.
Li Zhe is a young man who looks to be in his early twenties. He is tall and slender, and has a handsome face. He has already mastered a ninth-grade move and will soon reach the perfect level.
He listened to the compliments of the people around him, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a very obvious smile. He was very pleased with the flattery of the people around him.
Moreover, Li Zhe was very inclined to his family's elders' views on this martial arts competition. This was not blindly expecting his victory. He had undergone a specific analysis.
Li Zhe carefully analyzed the final winning list of the previous martial arts competitions and found that most of the time, the top five were occupied by eighth-grade warriors. Even if there were seventh-grade warriors occasionally, it was only one or two.
Combined with the actual situation in the martial arts world, most of the people who came out to travel the world were actually those who broke through to the ninth grade in the martial arts hall, but did not want to stay in the martial arts hall to teach, and yearned for a free life.
Most of these people were only ninth-grade, and only a very few were able to get the opportunity to reach the eighth grade, and there were very few people who could reach the seventh grade purely by wandering the world.
Therefore, generally speaking, ordinary masters in the martial arts world are almost at the eighth level. In Li Zhe's opinion, if there is no accident, the people who come to participate in the martial arts competition should also be at this level.
His uncle is already at the seventh level, and it must be easy to beat those eighth-level warriors in the martial arts world. Even if he loses to one or two other seventh-level warriors in the end, he will definitely get the opportunity to comprehend the wordless monument.
As for falling out of the top five, Li Zhe didn't even think about it. How could a seventh-level warrior fall out of the top five? This is simply impossible.
From beginning to end, he didn't take the "master" living in Bai Jingtian's house seriously.
In his opinion, the so-called "master" is mostly a poor warrior who has just come from other places to seek refuge. At most, he is at the eighth level, or even only the ninth level.
At this level, it is certainly more than enough to guide a rookie like Bai Jingtian, but wanting to participate in the martial arts competition to get a ranking reward is a foolish dream, which is simply impossible.
Just when Li Zhe was imagining that his family would have the secret sixth-grade martial arts in the future, Bai Jingtian suddenly came over with a sword.
"Brother Li, I went back and thought about it for a night, and I think we can have another fight." Bai Jingtian didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "This time, I think I can beat you."
Zhou Heng asked him which moves he lost in before, and he explained it truthfully-
He never expected that Zhou Heng would actually reverse the whole set of swordsmanship that Li Zhe was best at. Zhou Heng explained every move and even every change of every move to him, and disassembled them one by one.
This made Bai Jingtian truly realize how powerful Zhou Heng was. He was really amazing. Compared with Zhou Heng, all the teachers in Shanliang Martial Arts School were scum. The gap was too big!
Similarly, after listening to Zhou Heng's explanation, demo, and teaching him a lot of moves, Bai Jingtian really felt how powerful he was.
Far more powerful than before.
However, the people around him couldn't help but sneer in their hearts when they saw Bai Jingtian's confident look, and even whispered to each other.
"He lost so badly before, but he still refuses to admit defeat. Does he want to be beaten again?"
"Look, the purple on his eyelids hasn't healed yet. This is the mark left by Senior Brother Li Zhe beating him. It's so embarrassing."
"He actually has the courage to continue to challenge. This is really strange. And where does his inexplicable confidence come from?"
"Could it be that the master in his family knew about it and gave him some pointers, so he is so confident?"
"Hahaha, what kind of master can make Bai Jingtian beat Senior Brother Li Zhe overnight? Impossible."
Everyone was talking about it, and none of them thought highly of Bai Jingtian.
Li Zhe also frowned, looked at Bai Jingtian, and said, "I hope this is the last time. I don't really like to compete with defeated opponents, but since you asked me to do so, I will fulfill your wish once, and let you know that not everyone can be called a master."
As he said that, he walked to the weapon rack next to him, took out two wooden swords, and threw one of them to Bai Jingtian.
"Make your move." Li Zhe said lightly.
"Brother Li, go first." Bai Jingtian said, remembering the trick of being the last to strike first that Zhou Heng said.
"Arrogant!" Li Zhe felt that Bai Jingtian looked down on him.
So he had no reservations, raised the wooden sword in his hand lightly, flew forward, quickly approached Bai Jingtian, and smashed the wooden sword in his hand hard.
As if this was not a sword, but a mountain!
The ninth-grade sword technique of Shanliang Martial Arts School, "Seventy-two Sword Techniques to Guard the Mountain".
This move was extremely fierce.
He was completely using force to suppress others. He was sure that Bai Jingtian was not as strong as him, and he was not as powerful as him, so he simply gave up the comparison of moves and used force to suppress Bai Jingtian.
Moreover, being defeated in this way is usually the most miserable state. He wanted to completely shock Bai Jingtian, and at the same time, he also wanted to tell the master behind Bai Jingtian not to have any illusions about the martial arts competition.
However, just as Li Zhe's sword hit down, Bai Jingtian's wrist turned slightly, and the sword tip shifted inward while blocking his sword, and finally the fingers holding the sword shook slightly.
Snap!
It just hit Li Zhe's wrist holding the sword, and Li Zhe's sword fell to the ground on the spot, and at the same time the sword tip rose and pressed against Li Zhe's neck.
There was a dead silence around him, and everyone looked at Bai Jingtian in disbelief!
My God, how could he be so powerful? ?
This Bai Jingtian was actually like a happy person overnight.
It's amazing!
"You, what happened to your sword moves just now!?" Li Zhe looked at Bai Jingtian in disbelief, "How did you do it!?"
He just felt clearly that all the changes in his sword moves seemed to be in the eyes of the other party, and would be expected by the other party, and he could not break through this feeling at all.
"It was just that the master in my family gave me some pointers." Bai Jingtian laughed softly, "Brother Li Zhe, it seems that the master in my family is not hopeless in the martial arts competition."
"Hehe!" Li Zhe's eyes suddenly turned cold, and said, "Don't be complacent, my uncle's martial arts is so strong that it is definitely not comparable to your master!"
...
The streets of Yuanhe Prefecture are prosperous, and there are many streets dedicated to selling things.
The medicine shop of Shopkeeper Bai is on such a street.
Sheng Xinrou and others came to this street when they came out for a stroll that day.
The five of them arrived here six days ago, waiting for the upcoming martial arts competition to join in the fun.
"Hey! Look at that reddish-brown horse!" Sheng Xinrou was originally selecting things from the stalls, when she suddenly saw the reddish-brown horse being led out by the servants of the medicine shop to bask in the sun.
She remembered that this was the mount of the hero on the Qingxia River!
At the same time, at a snack stand not far away, a girl who was tasting snacks suddenly raised her head and looked at the reddish-brown horse, with surprise and delight in her eyes.
The more mature and beautiful woman sitting at the same table with her asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Xiu'er?"
