Chapter 173: May the sky descend for another five hundred years, and live up to the three-foot spear in my hand(1/2)
"What about this?"
After the sword master drew his sword again, he asked Li Xing.
Li Xing stood there and thought for a while, then used 'Zhijiu' to find a new way to crack it, and then practiced it again for the Sword Master.
Just like that, the two began to take turns.
Regarding the move 'Thousands of sails pass through', there is one modified move and one broken move.
Every time, both sides would think for a while before making a move. The two of them were like two chess players, but they were just playing chess with swordsmanship.
Time passed little by little, and Li Xing didn't think for long every time before he drew his sword. On the contrary, the sword master spent more and more time thinking. After Li Xing drew his sword for the twelfth time, he fell into the trap again.
The 'long test'.
It was already night at this time, and many people in the capital who gathered around the arena chose to disperse. Many of the civil and military officials in the stands were also very tired.
The emperor glanced at the sword master who was still thinking hard with his eyes closed in the ring. After asking Cui Haosheng a few questions, he signaled to the civil and military officials present that they could go back to rest first and come back to watch the battle tomorrow. He himself also chose to drive back to the palace.
Only two Ouchi eunuchs were left to watch the battle on his behalf.
As the emperor and the civil and military officials left, there were fewer and fewer people around the arena.
In the end, only two Ouchi eunuchs who watched the battle on behalf of the emperor, hundreds of imperial guards, a group of masters from the Meng Yuan mission, Cui Haosheng, and a dozen martial arts stars remained.
On the ring, Li Xing closed his eyes and rested his mind, while Sword Master sat cross-legged, frowning and thinking hard.
It lasted until the early morning of the next day, when Jian Zun suddenly opened his eyes and shouted with joy:
"I thought of it!"
His voice startled a group of masters who were meditating and adjusting their breath. They all opened their eyes and looked towards the ring.
The sword master stood up and practiced his sword skills on the spot.
This time, "A Thousand Sails Passed" has been "changed beyond recognition".
If there were thousands of sails before, now there are only a dozen or so sails left at most. The sword master's moves no longer look as complicated and varied as before, but are much simpler.
Among the people watching, Cui Haosheng, who was the most accomplished in swordsmanship, was the first to see the clue:
"This is the beginning of swordsmanship becoming simpler."
Hearing this, Dong Zhengyang couldn't help but ask: "So, the opponent's swordsmanship has actually improved?"
Liang Feiyu on the side suddenly said: "The sword-breaking style of Dugu Nine Swords created by Li Xing is the best sword sharpening stone for swordsmen in the world!"
Liang Feiyu, a martial artist who majored in swordsmanship, felt that he had benefited a lot from watching the sword fight between Li Xing and Sword Master.
Zhou Siming frowned and said: "If the Sword Master's realm is allowed to break through, we may have a more powerful opponent in the future."
His words were not meant to be directed at Li Xing, but he was really worried that Li Xing might accidentally harm his opponent.
The martial arts stars present also looked at the ring worriedly after hearing this.
But what everyone doesn’t know is that it’s not just the Sword Master whose swordsmanship level has been improved at this moment, Li Xing’s Dugu Nine Swords level has also been improved!
This is also a hidden characteristic of Dugu Nine Swords discovered by Li Xingcai: when there are moves that can continuously break through the upper limit of the current realm of Dugu Nine Swords, the realm of swordsmanship can be improved.
In other words, in addition to Rongwu, Li Xing can also try to use "Zhijiu" to improve the realm of Dugu Nine Swords in the future.
It’s just that ‘Zhijiu’ also has its limits. For example, some moves may require more than ten years of thinking to find the flaws. This time is still real time, so obviously you can’t rely on this to break through the realm.
What limits the limit of "wisdom" is personal understanding. The higher the understanding, the higher the upper limit of "wisdom".
At this time, we can see the importance of Yi Jin Jing, a martial art. One can never have too much understanding.
...
Now, the Sword Master regards Li Xing as a sharpening stone, and Li Xing also uses the opponent's constantly improving swordsmanship to improve the realm of Dugu Nine Swords.
Both sides improved each other's swordsmanship.
It's just that Li Xing's restrictions are greater, because he can only think for one hour at most, which is two hours. If he exceeds this time, he will automatically lose.
When Li Xing fell into thinking, the Meng Yuan mission immediately asked the eunuch Ouchi who was supervising the battle to light incense and time it.
This time, Li Xing thought for more than 40 minutes before taking action again, destroying the "Thousand Sails" that the Sword Master had just changed, which also made Cui Haosheng and a group of martial artists heave a sigh of relief.
Next, it’s Sword Master’s turn to take the ‘long test’ again.
Time passed little by little, and from early morning to sunset again, the sword master who had been thinking hard suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood!
"Master!"
"Sword Lord!"
In the stands, everyone on the Meng Yuan mission side was shocked.
"This is because I think too much and consume too much energy!"
The Sixth Dragon Master said in a deep voice.
The Sword Master has devoted himself wholeheartedly to swordsmanship drills since yesterday, constantly thinking about changes and improvements in sword moves, and continued until the next night. There was almost no rest time in the middle, and he would feel tired no matter how energetic he was, let alone swordsmanship drills.
It's a very nerve-wracking thing.
Li Xing looked at the sword master who was vomiting blood and asked:
"Are you going to continue the competition?"
Although the rule of Wen Dou is that within seven days, anyone on the Meng Yuan mission can try again and again, but in the current state of the sword master, it is difficult to persist for one more day, let alone seven days.
The sword master nodded without hesitation: "Of course!"
"Why don't you come down and rest for a few days."
Someone suggested to Sword Master.
Anyway, there are still five days left.
But the sword master just shook his head, closed his eyes again and began to think hard.
Seeing this, everyone wanted to persuade them again, but they were stopped by the Six Dragons Venerable:
"No need to persuade. This is the most important moment in his life. Unless he can come up with a trick that Li Xing can't crack, he won't stop."
"Your Majesty..."
Everyone looked at the Six Dragon Venerable.
The Sixth Dragon Master's eyes were like smoke. He looked at the Sword Master on the stage and sighed.
In fact, the Sword Master has a very high talent for practicing swordsmanship. Originally, Tiansheng Mountain had high hopes for him, hoping that he would be the one to suppress Cui Haosheng on Meng Yuan's side in the future.
But because the sword master was too obsessed with swordsmanship and sword moves, it actually affected the improvement of his combat power.
At that time, Tianzun commented that the other party "emphasis on skills and despises Tao", which was not only an admonishment to Sword Master, but also an expression of dissatisfaction.
Unfortunately, after all these years, Jian Zun still hasn't changed, choosing a path to the dark side.
Now, Li Xing's Dugu Nine Swords allows the Sword Master to vaguely see the elegance of the 'way of swordsmanship' reaching the top. This is what he has been pursuing all his life, how can he stop?
Another night passed, and when the sword master opened his eyes again, his face was pale, as if he had been seriously ill.
But his eyes were full of joy, and he said to Li Xing: "I thought of it again!"
So he rehearsed "A Thousand Sails Pass" in front of Li Xing again.
This time his swordsmanship was extremely concise, with only two sword lights on the left and one on the right intersecting with each other, like two ships racing on the sea, one going back and forth.
Swordsmanship includes the changes of yin and yang, the transformation of hardness and softness. In Li Xing's opinion, this swordsmanship already has the prototype of "Tai Chi Swordsmanship"!
With his own strength, he was able to develop a sword technique to a level close to the peerless sword technique of Tai Chi sword technique in just two days and two nights. Li Xing couldn't help but respect the sword master in front of him.
After practicing the sword technique, the sword master himself was very satisfied. He felt that this sword was the pinnacle and the most perfect work in his life!
He looked at Li Xing proudly: "How are you going to break this sword?"
Gu Hao
Everyone present focused their attention on Li Xing. On Meng Yuan's side, the Holy Lady of Tiansheng Mountain directly asked Ouchi eunuch to start timing.
However, Li Xing said:
"No."
"What's not needed?"
The sword master was stunned for a moment.
Li Xing looked at him: "I said there is no need to time the clock."
The sword master frowned: "Are you going to admit defeat?"
Li Xing shook his head: "I said there is no need to time it because I have already thought of a way to crack it."
"How can it be!"
The sword master looked at Li Xing in disbelief.
The other party has obviously not started to think about it yet, how could he think of a way to break it after seeing his own sword skills?
You must know that this move is more satisfying to the sword master than any previous move. Even the previous sword technique can make Li Xing think for a long time. How could this move be cracked so quickly?
To be continued...
