Chapter 102: Quick Knife? Too Slow!
"Brother Chu, you have such a good attitude."
Tieniu said sincerely.
He has always regarded Chu Liang as a role model, but he could never be as indifferent as Chu Liang.
In the final analysis, it is still a question of strength.
Chu Liang asked him with a smile: "Tieniu, have you had any signs of qi and blood induction recently?"
"without."
Tieniu looked distressed, shook his head and said, "Master said I'm still far behind. No matter how talented I am, it will take a few months before I can hope to sense the energy and blood."
"Take your time, don't rush, it took me several months." Chu Liang encouraged.
"A few months is enough. It took me several years!" Mr. Hu lamented. He was born in a village and had much fewer resources than people in the county.
The path of martial arts for human warriors is so slow, and they cannot compare with monsters.
All the monsters need to do is keep fighting and devouring.
After dinner, night gradually fell.
Everyone said goodbye outside the noodle shop.
Mr. Hu's home is in the south of the city, not far from here.
Chu Liang took his second uncle and his family to the north of the city and showed them the big house with three courtyards.
As soon as they entered the house, the eyes of the second uncle and others widened.
"Isn't this... this house too big?"
"A-Liang, are we on the right track?"
"How much does it cost to buy such a big house?"
The second uncle and the second aunt were stunned. They walked around the central courtyard and looked around. The more they looked, the more unreal they felt, as if they were dreaming.
In their impression, only dignitaries can afford to live in such a large house.
"You're right, it's right here." Chu Liang said with a smile: "Second uncle, you will live here from now on. If anything happens, ask Ashan to come to Qiudao Martial Arts Hall to find me."
"A Liang, how much does this house cost?" The second uncle couldn't help but ask.
"Money is not an issue. I can pay for it no matter how expensive it is, ten times or a hundred times." Chu Liang said with a smile on his face.
"But... there are only a few people in our family, and we can't live in such a big house."
"There will always be more people."
With a calm look on his face, Chu Liang took his second uncle and his family to look around all the houses.
This kind of house is indeed only for dignitaries and dignitaries.
And now Chu Liang is considered a "noble" in the eyes of the world.
"Second uncle, I have something to do in the martial arts studio. You should get familiar with it first!"
After settling down the second uncle's family, Chu Liang left with the three dog demons.
He went to the black market, bought enough monster flesh and herbs, and returned to the courtyard of the Autumn Sword Martial Arts School.
After not seeing each other for two months, the loyalty of the three dog demons to Chu Liang has not diminished at all. They have been jumping around Chu Liang excitedly, their tails wagging non-stop.
"You guys have worked hard these past two months. Eat, eat more!"
Chu Liang threw large pieces of monster flesh to them and let them eat as much as they could.
The more you eat, the faster you grow.
Then he threw a large bundle of evolved herbs to the donkey and said, "You eat too!"
"hold head high……"
The donkey was also so happy that he swung his tail, opened his mouth wide, showing his big yellow teeth, bit off a piece of Ganoderma lucidum, chewed it, and the Ganoderma lucidum residue kept falling out of his mouth.
On the side, two treasure-hunting rats shook their heads.
"Tsk... In ancient times, cows chewed peonies, but now donkeys chew Ganoderma lucidum."
"What a waste of natural resources!"
The two little mice sighed and expressed their condolences to Ganoderma lucidum.
The donkey rolled his eyes at the two of them, ignored them, and chewed on his own.
Chu Liang was still in the yard, wasting no time, using the moonlight to temper his energy and blood.
He still had one last breath before he could peek into the door of the Skin Refining Realm.
"The fifth stream of Qi and blood needs to fix the torso. It is thicker than the first four. According to the current progress, it will probably take me nearly three months to completely condense it."
Chu Liang was quite satisfied with this time.
He has a good attitude and is not impatient.
Time passed by and it was almost midnight before I knew it.
Chu Liang stopped exercising, returned to the house, washed himself briefly, told a few monsters to watch the door of his house, and then fell asleep.
This time I slept until three o'clock in the morning!
He was so busy these past few days that he didn't get much rest.
If he hadn't been woken up by two little mice, he would probably have slept until the afternoon.
"Master, it's time to wake up! Qi Xiuliang is outside the yard. He has something to do with you, probably for today's swordsmanship competition."
"Don't forget, you have to fight with that Li Feng today."
Two little mice were jumping up and down on the bed.
Chu Liang stood up helplessly.
He simply dressed, walked out of the house, and opened the courtyard door.
Qi Xiuliang was outside the courtyard gate. Seeing Chu Liang looking like he was not awake, he said in surprise: "Brother Chu, are you just awake?"
"Um."
"As expected of Brother Chu, I am ashamed that I can sleep so peacefully just before the swordsmanship competition."
"It's just a simple competition, it's not a major life event."
Chu Liang yawned, his eyes were sleepy, and he was indescribably calm.
He turned sideways, invited Qi Xiuliang into the courtyard, and asked, "Brother Qi is here just for the competition?"
"Yes, Brother Chu, I have collected Li Feng's fighting characteristics and compiled them into a book. Please take a look."
Qi Xiuliang took out a booklet from his arms and placed it on the stone table.
"you……"
Chu Liang suddenly didn't know what to say.
He had made an appointment with Li Feng for a competition just the day before yesterday, and Qi Xiuliang had produced such a booklet today.
Qi Xiuliang must have been busy with this all day yesterday.
"Brother Qi, you have an appointment in three months, why waste time on this? You know my strength." Chu Liang and Qi Xiuliang have sparred before, and they have a general understanding of each other's strength.
"It's always right to know more about your opponent."
Qi Xiuliang opened the booklet, which was full of explanations about Li Feng.
Chu Liang didn't want to read it, but because Qi Xiuliang was so hardworking, he still patiently read it.
Li Feng's fighting characteristics are very distinct.
Swift and fierce!
He is good at suppressing his opponents with absolutely strong swordsmanship.
Once he gets the upper hand, the battle will basically be a suspense.
"Brother Chu, this Li Feng's fighting characteristics are quite similar to yours, but his personality is not quite like you." Qi Xiuliang said.
"Well, that's true."
Chu Liang is kind and introverted.
Li Feng is like a long sword out of its sheath, showing its edge.
"Forget it, the owner of the hall has been very kind to me and lent me all the treasures of the hall. I have nothing to repay him for now, so I will help him polish Li Feng's swordsmanship." Chu Liang thought secretly.
Unknowingly, it was noon, and the gray sun climbed to the top of the head.
The competition was about to begin, and the whole Qiudao Martial Arts Hall was much more lively than usual.
The three martial arts masters were invited out and sat beside the competition arena to prevent any accidents.
The owner of the hall, Li Ren, sat on the high seat, with a solemn expression and his eyes facing the arena.
This competition was originally an internal matter of the martial arts hall, but everyone in the hall knew about it at that time, so many outsiders came today, such as the meritorious hall master Luo Hong and the guardian hall master Yan Gong.
Even the Dragon Snake Hall Master Ye Long came.
Many disciples were outside the arena, surrounding layer after layer, and their faces were full of expectations.
Qi Bai, Liu Qing, Huang He and others were all there. They were all practicing "Autumn Blade" and were particularly looking forward to today's battle, hoping to gain some insights from it.
"Senior Brother Li Feng has arrived."
Qi Bai's eyes fixed, and a man with a long sword on his back appeared in his field of vision.
"He is still as sharp as before."
"Yes." Liu Qing sighed, "We have two qi and blood, but I don't even have the courage to draw my sword in front of him. If we talk about swordsmanship, I can't even compare to him."
"We still need to hone ourselves more."
Huang He said: "Now that the monsters are moving, the troubled times are coming. Junior Brother He Yuan has been killed by the monsters. With our little strength, if we are not careful, we will follow Junior Brother He's footsteps."
"Alas, Junior Brother He..."
When they thought of the dead He Yuan, they felt a little heavy.
He Yuan also has two qi and blood, and his strength is only a little weaker than theirs.
"I hope today's battle will give me some inspiration." Qi Bai was eager to improve his strength. His Autumn Sword Skill had not made any breakthroughs for a long time.
"It depends on how long Chu Liang can hold on."
"The longer he holds on, the more we can see."
"Maybe, in the end, the owner will come down to explain this battle to us..."
They were all praying, hoping that Chu Liang could hold on longer under Li Feng's sword.
I'm afraid Chu Liang's sword skills haven't been mastered yet.
If that's the case, this battle won't be worth watching.
"Chu Liang is here too!"
Qi Bai opened his mouth and looked at the gate of the courtyard.
Chu Liang and Qi Xiuliang stepped into the competition courtyard one after the other.
The two of them attracted a lot of attention when they appeared.
Ye Long, the owner of the Dragon Snake Hall, smiled and said, "Look, it's my apprentice Qi Xiuliang, he came with Chu Liang!"
The others remained silent and ignored him.
Qi Xiuliang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Ye Long.
When did he agree to be Ye Long's apprentice?
The owner of the hall, Li Ren, stood up at the right time, with a calm and steady manner. He glanced at Chu Liang and Li Feng and said, "Chu Liang, Li Feng, do you two have any objections to today's swordsmanship competition?"
"No objection."
The two answered in unison, with a loud voice.
Li Ren nodded and said to the two, "In that case, you two go to the ring. Remember, stop when you are done!"
"Yes!"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the two jumped onto the competition ring at the same time.
The scene suddenly became quiet.
No one spoke anymore, and all eyes were focused on the ring.
Chu Liang and Li Feng stood opposite each other, clasped their fists and saluted.
"Senior Brother Li!"
"Senior Brother Chu!"
The two spoke separately, and then retreated to both sides of the ring.
The atmosphere became solemn.
The rest of the people held their breath and concentrated their minds, not wanting to miss any details.
The next moment, there was a "clang" sound, and a flash of cold light passed by.
Li Feng drew his sword!
The battle officially began.
He was so powerful and fast as the wind that he was in front of Chu Liang in an instant.
"Swish!"
This was his style.
Swift and fierce!
He wanted to suppress Chu Liang in the first move, gain an advantage, and then suppress Chu Liang with one slash after another.
Below the stage, the other disciples stared with their eyes wide open, not daring to blink.
"What a fast slash!"
Qi Bai, Liu Qing and others were shocked.
Just one slash made them see the gap between themselves and Li Feng.
If there was no breakthrough, they might not be able to reach this level even if they practiced for another five years.
Beside the stage, the knife master nodded slightly, with a satisfied look on his face.
On the high platform, Luo Hong, Yan Gong and others looked normal, not too surprised, after all, they were once such geniuses.
Qi Xiuliang looked solemn and compared in his mind, could his Songzhu Sword stop the Autumn-Zhanqiu Sword?
"I'm still a little reluctant."
Qi Xiuliang knew his own strength and shook his head secretly.
"Brother Chu should be fine. His sword is much faster than this Li Feng."
The facts were just as Qi Xiuliang thought.
Li Feng's swift and fierce sword was full of flaws in Chu Liang's eyes, as slow as a snail.
