"But after Xie Xiaofeng met him, the sword in his heart broke. Do you understand what I mean?"
Upon hearing this, Ximen Chuixue turned and went back to his room.
He was waiting. He was waiting for his final battle with Li Gucheng, and also for the day when the number one on the Sword God Ranking would be announced.
He was eager to see which of the Sword Gods could break the sword in his heart.
""
I'm numb, completely numb.
The peerless swordsman ranked fourth on the Sword God List lost all fighting spirit after just one meeting.
This person must be incredibly powerful.
One is the secret to Shaolin Temple's enduring prosperity, and the other is the mysterious swordsman on the Sword God Ranking.
Wow, this is a huge bombshell today!
After saying that, Li Chengqian ignored the surprised expressions of the crowd and continued speaking to himself.
"Seventh on the Grandmaster List, Zhou Botong."
"Zhou Botong, Wang Chongyang's junior brother, is the only remaining master of the Quanzhen Sect."
"He is pure of heart and loves to play pranks on others, hence the nickname 'Old Rascal'."
"He created the Seventy-Two Styles of Empty Fist and the Ambidextrous Fighting Technique, and was also proficient in the first half of the Nine Yin Manual."
"Kongming Fist is the most Yin and softest fist technique in the world."
"His punches were subtle and seemingly effortless, yet resilient within their softness. His moves were unremarkable and seemingly nonsensical, and his body was as supple as a worm."
"The key lies in the two words 'emptiness' and 'softness,' as the saying goes. Great perfection seems flawed, yet its use is inexhaustible; great fullness seems empty, yet its use is boundless."
"This boxing technique is truly exceptional, and considering all factors, it has been placed seventh on the Grandmaster list."
After hearing Zhou Botong's comments, everyone's interest was piqued again.
"Mr. Li, isn't the Quanzhen Sect forbidden from practicing the Nine Yin Manual?"
"Why does Zhou Botong know the Nine Yin Manual? And what is that Ambidextrous Fighting Technique? Tell me!"
"That's right, I asked you about it when you announced the whereabouts of the Nine Yin Manual last time, but you never told me."
Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "This Ambidextrous Fighting Technique is nothing special; it simply means that you can use two different moves with both hands at the same time."
"You can practice too."
""
This is nothing special; is this something we can practice?
Chapter 256 Someone succeeded in using the dual-wielding technique? Huang Yaoshi's actions are unethical.
Has anyone succeeded in using the "Dual Hands Technique" (258)? Huang Yaoshi's methods are unethical.
"Mr. Li, you're not lying to us, are you? Is it possible for us to learn a technique that involves using two different moves with both hands at the same time?"
"Why not? The essence of the Ambidextrous Fighting Technique is very simple."
"Draw a square with your left hand and a circle with your right hand, but remember one thing: you must draw the square and the circle at the same time."
"If you can do this, you will have basically mastered the art of ambidextrous fighting."
"With a little practice, one can then perform two martial arts techniques simultaneously."
When Mr. Li said this, no one believed him.
Such amazing martial arts skills, can they be learned so easily?
Although they said they didn't believe it, the people in the inn still couldn't help but try it out.
Li Chengqian, meanwhile, sipped his tea with great interest, waiting patiently for everyone to make a fool of themselves.
Failure! Failure! Failure
A mere fifteen minutes passed, and despite countless attempts, no one succeeded.
Room Tianzi No. 1.
Dongfang Bubai's face was so dark it could drip water.
Li Chengqian commented on many masters in the martial arts world, some of whom he himself might not be able to defeat.
But no matter how skilled the opponent, none of them could make Dongfang Bubai feel defeated.
However, this small square and circle caused Dongfang Bubai to doubt himself.
Am I really that bad at this?
Room No. 2, Class 1 (Tianzi)
Yaoyue didn't look well because she had tried more than ten times without success.
Seeing this, Lianxing didn't go forward to comfort her, because she hadn't succeeded either.
"Sister, I failed. Is it because I'm not good enough?"
Faced with Lianxing's question, Yaoyue glanced at her and said coldly, "No."
"You can't succeed simply because you're not putting in enough effort."
"Then you can use it, sister."
Before Lianxing could finish speaking, Yaoyue glared at her.
"If I said you didn't put your heart into it, then you didn't. Why are you making such a fuss?"
“ .”
You're always bullying me. You're not just getting angry at me because you can't do it yourself, are you?
Li Chengqian sipped his tea contentedly, waiting for everyone to make a fool of themselves, when a shout came from below.
"I did it! I achieved a square shape on the left and a circle on the right!"
The sound surprised Li Chengqian. Even the guests in the top-tier building came out of their rooms.
Li Chengqian: ? ? ?
It makes no sense!
The art of ambidextrous fighting not only requires talent, but also a single-minded focus.
Could these idiots really have gone this far?
There aren't any naturally gifted players in this group. Could it be that I've misjudged them?
Although he really wanted to see what was going on, Li Chengqian didn't rush down to check immediately because of his pride.
"Pooh!"
"You call that square or round?"
"Your circle is like a square, and your square is like a circle."
"Kid, it's okay if you're not talented, but you can't have problems with your eyes."
Some martial arts practitioners began to criticize the man, but Dongfang Bubai frowned and waved his hand to disperse the crowd with his inner energy.
The guests in the top-tier building also saw the pattern that the wandering swordsman had drawn on the table with his tea.
""
Can this be called "square on the left and round on the right"?
All that nervousness I felt was for nothing.
The guests in the top-tier building went straight back to their rooms, and Li Chengqian smiled helplessly and ignored them.
"No, don't go!"
"What I drew is neither a perfect circle nor a perfect square. I guess it's good for practicing the Ambidextrous Fighting Technique?"
"If you say it's okay, then it's okay. Go home and practice slowly. Don't interfere with Mr. Li's storytelling now."
Seeing that no one paid any attention to him, the wandering swordsman could only purse his lips and quietly sit down.
With the minor incident concluded, Li Chengqian gathered his thoughts and spoke.
"The reason why Zhou Botong knew the Nine Yin Manual also involves Huang Yaoshi, one of the Five Greats."
"Originally, I was unwilling to delve into other people's privacy, but since you all seem so eager to hear it."
"Then I'll say what I have to say. As for Huang Yaoshi, if he's not satisfied, he can come to Ping An Inn and cause me trouble."
"You are only allowed one chance to make a move. If you fail, you can live, and it will not be considered a violation of the inn's rules."
As he spoke, Li Chengqian smiled gently.
"But since he dared to do it, he probably isn't afraid of what others will say."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately perked up.
Mr. Li used to hold back some secrets when he talked about the secrets of the underworld, but now it seems he doesn't want to hold back anymore?
Li Chengqian: Bullshit privacy! I couldn't beat them in the early stages, okay? Without these江湖 (jianghu, the martial arts world) gossips, what would I use to attract people?
"Before Wang Chongyang died, he instructed his junior brother Zhou Botong to separate and hide the Nine Yin Manual."
"It's all to prevent the Nine Yin Manual from continuing to stir up conflict in the martial arts world."
"Zhou Botong did as his senior brother instructed, but a problem arose when he was hiding the second half of the Nine Yin Manual."
"Zhou Botong encountered Huang Yaoshi and his wife Feng Heng."
"When they learned that Zhou Botong was escorting the Nine Yin Manual, Huang Yaoshi and his wife immediately hatched their own schemes."
"The two tricked each other into having the opportunity to view the Nine Yin Manual. Although Zhou Botong was playful, he still remembered his senior brother's instructions."
To allay Zhou Botong's concerns, Huang Yaoshi deliberately suggested that his wife, who was not skilled in martial arts, browse through the Nine Yin Manual.
"Considering that Huang Yaoshi's wife really doesn't know martial arts, there's no harm in taking a look."
"So Zhou Botong agreed. Who would have thought that although Huang Yaoshi's wife, Feng Heng, did not know martial arts, she was extremely intelligent."
"Moreover, she possesses a photographic memory; she actually memorized the second volume of the Nine Yin Manual within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."
