"Follow me,... Junior Brother Li, Junior Brother Lin, is this going smoothly?" Senior Brother Chang asked with a smile, leading the way to the west and arriving in front of a house.

Lin Ping followed closely behind him and complained: "I met two groups of people and it was so hard to fight...this road is really not smooth!"

Senior Brother Chang turned around and asked, "Is it the section of the road at Luoyang Mountain again?"

"Yes." Lin Ping responded.

Senior Brother Chang shook his head: "That section of the road is full of desperadoes, so it's really difficult to walk."

As he spoke, he pushed the door open and went in. There were two rooms inside, and there was a bedroom to the west of the main hall. The layout was simple and a bit old.

"Give this room to Junior Brother Li." Senior Brother Chang said.

Li Muchan nodded: "Am I alone?"

"Yes, each person has a room, and Junior Brother Lin's is next to it." Senior Brother Chang nodded.

"Okay, thank you, Senior Brother Chang." Li Muchan said with a smile.

Senior Brother Chang asked: "Junior Brother Li, do you want to take a break?"

Li Muchan smiled and said, "No need."

"Let's go see Junior Brother Lin's house." Senior Brother Chang waved and turned around to go out. The two of them followed him to a room next to him, which was almost exactly the same as Li Muchan's room.

"Junior Brother Lin doesn't need to rest, right?" Senior Brother Chang asked.

Lin Ping nodded hurriedly: "No need!"

Senior Brother Chang said: "Well, come out and get close to everyone, and we will be a family from now on!"

The two of them followed him out of the house and came to the martial arts training ground. Everyone had already resumed practicing. Some were practicing swordsmanship, some were practicing swordsmanship, and some were practicing boxing. It was really lively.

Seeing them coming out, everyone stopped their momentum and gathered around them.

"Two junior brothers, come on, let me introduce you to everyone." Senior Brother Chang stretched out his hand and said: "This is Junior Brother Meng, Master Meng, a fifth-grade disciple, Junior Brother Huajiangchuanhua, a fifth-grade disciple, Junior Brother Song Zihou, a fifth-grade disciple..."

He pointed at a dozen people one by one and introduced them.

After he finished the introduction, Lin Ping said in surprise: "Senior Brother Chang, how come the lowest one is fourth grade?"

"Alas... I haven't had any new disciples in a few years." Senior Brother Chang said with emotion.

Lin Ping asked hesitantly: "How could...?"

"When we recruit disciples, we would rather lack them than overfill them. We will not take those who are not extremely talented. How can there be so many talented people in the world that we meet again?" Senior Brother Chang said helplessly.

"So that's it..." Lin Ping laughed, feeling a little complacent. As expected, not just anyone can come in to Xinghu Xiaozhu.

"Junior brother Lin, look at the sword you carry on your waist. You are full of energy and spirit, and you are not mediocre at all." Senior brother Chang said.

Lin Ping smiled: "The crop handle style is not worth mentioning!"

Even though he said this, he still had an arrogant look on his face. His swordsmanship was outstanding among the younger generation and he had few opponents, so he naturally developed arrogance.

*********************************

"Haha, you're being polite at first sight!" Senior Brother Chang shook his head with a smile and turned to Li Muchan: "Junior Brother Li, it seems like you don't know your inner strength."

Li Muchan nodded: "Yes, Senior Brother Chang, I have taught myself a little bit of swordsmanship, but I have never learned internal skills."

"That's it..." Senior Brother Chang nodded and said with a smile: "The new disciples all have to show off their skills. Junior Brother Lin, you choose one of them and let's compete at will."

Lin Ping agreed happily. He also wanted to establish his authority and not to be underestimated. He was suppressed by Li Muchan, who was the least senior. He had long been dissatisfied.

He thought for a moment and looked at Senior Brother Chang.

Senior Brother Chang was startled and then laughed: "Good boy, you want to compete with me!"

"Yes, I hope that senior brother will give you some advice!" Lin Ping pressed his sword and stared at senior brother Chang.

Everyone laughed, and the one Master Meng who surpassed Senior Brother Meng chuckled and said: "Okay! What I want is this kind of heroic spirit. I want to challenge the most powerful person. This kind of courage is not small! Junior Brother Lin, I want it!"

Lin Ping smiled slightly, pressed his sword and looked at Senior Brother Chang: "Senior Brother Chang?"

"Okay, let's compare our skills!" Senior Brother Chang readily agreed and turned around and said, "Junior Brother Li, let's also compare our skills later!"

Li Muchan smiled bitterly: "I don't have to show my shame, my three-legged cat's sword skills are just making people laugh!"

Master Meng smiled heartily and said: "Junior Brother Li is really unhappy. Here, victory and defeat are commonplace, it's not a big deal!"

Li Muchan nodded: "Well, it's better to be respectful than to obey orders."

"Come on!" Senior Brother Chang waved, and a wisp of sword light burst out from the sheath, and then slowly grew in size. The long sword was completely unsheathed and lay across his chest.

He stood quietly, as if standing still in a deep place, showing the demeanor of a master.

Lin Ping slowly circled around him, his feet frozen, and he circled five times clockwise. Suddenly he drew his sword and thrust it out, faster than lightning, and the tip of the sword instantly reached Senior Brother Chang's chest.

Senior Brother Chang stabbed lightly and slowly with the sword, stabbing Lin Ping's wrist. Lin Ping could only change his move, turning the stab across his wrist into a slash, and the sword's light was like lightning.

Senior Brother Chang picked up his sword, and the tip of the sword touched Lin Ping's wrist, causing Lin Ping to change his moves.

He stabbed Lin Ping's wrist accurately with each sword strike. No matter how sophisticated Lin Ping's moves were or how fast he was, he was always forced to change his moves. After several moves, he was already suffocated.

Li Muchan shook his head. He missed one move and tied his hands. Senior Brother Chang was very particular about not using his inner strength to bully others, but only responding with exquisite moves.

Lin Pingjun's face slowly turned red, as if covered with a layer of red cloth. He suddenly gritted his teeth and ignored the sword stabbing his wrist.

If things continued like this, he failed to stab Brother Chang and his wrist was pierced by the sword.

***************************************************

*************

Senior Brother Chang shook his head, raised his wrist and picked up the sword. There was a crisp "ding" sound, the tip of the sword pierced Lin Ping's sword, and the long sword flew out.

He swung his sword in a sliding step, and there was another crisp "ding" sound. Lin Ping's long sword was stopped in the air and inserted three inches deep under Lin Ping's feet. The sword body trembled.

Lin Ping's face was gloomy. He looked down at his sword, raised his head and said with a forced smile: "Senior Brother Chang's swordsmanship is exquisite, I admire him!"

Senior Brother Chang looked at his appearance, shook his head secretly, and said with a smile: "Not bad! Not bad! Junior Brother Lin, your swordsmanship can reach the third level."

"Third grade?" Lin Ping was a little unconvinced.

Senior Brother Chang said: "It's the third grade! You can't beat any of us."

Among them, the lowest is the fourth grade.

Lin Ping moved his lips but finally said nothing.

Senior Brother Chang said: "You have a third-grade disciple as soon as you come in, which is very good. After a few more years of training, you will be enough to become a fifth-grade disciple!"

"Senior Brother Chang, are you also in the fifth rank?" Lin Ping asked.

Senior Brother Chang nodded, and Meng Shichao smiled and said, "Senior Brother Chang will soon be promoted to the sixth rank."

"Very early!" Senior Brother Chang waved his hand.

Meng Shichao said with a smile: "Senior Brother Chang, don't stay here and never leave. If you should enter the sixth grade, then enter the sixth grade!"

"Junior Brother Meng, don't talk nonsense!" Senior Brother Chang glared at him.

Li Muchan was curious. It seemed that Senior Brother Chang was the strongest in martial arts and could advance to the sixth level. Why didn't he advance because he didn't want to practice deeper martial arts?

"Senior Brother Chang, how can I advance to the sixth level?" Li Muchan asked.

Senior Brother Chang said: "It's very simple. Defeat all the fifth-grade ones, and you will be the sixth-grade one!"

"That's right..." Li Muchan nodded.

It seems that promotion is not easy. Only by defeating those of the same level can you advance to the next level. The disciples of Xinghu Xiaozhu are all extremely talented and are not so easy to defeat.

"Come on, Junior Brother Li, let's discuss and learn from each other!" Senior Brother Chang said.

Lin Ping said hurriedly: "That's right, Senior Brother Li's sword skills are also very exquisite!"

Li Muchan smiled bitterly and said: "That's fine, then it's just a shame!"

He pulled out two swords, the green water sword in his left hand and the ordinary long sword in his right hand, which had some curled blades. When Senior Brother Chang saw it, he waved: "Bring me the sword!"

Meng Shichao disappeared in a flash, then appeared again, holding a long knife in his hand. The blade shone with cold light, and it was also a rare sharp blade.

"It's rare to see someone wielding two swords. Most of them are women." Senior Brother Chang looked at Li Muchan's blue water sword.

***************************************************

*************************

Li Muchan took the long sword with a smile, waved it, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Chang, please—!"

"Okay, let's make a move!" Senior Brother Chang waved his hand, holding the sword horizontally in front of him.

Li Muchan was not polite. He sprayed out a stream of green water sword. He slowly and calmly made a sound with the long sword in his right hand. The second sword came first and the two swords slashed at Senior Brother Chang at the same time.

Senior Brother Chang swung his sword and stabbed Li Muchan in the chest at an extremely fast speed.

Li Muchan's right sword struck at the long sword, but the green water sword still fell towards his head.

Senior Brother Chang picked up the tip of the sword and stabbed Li Muchan's wrist. Li Muchan flipped his wrist and swung the sword to chop the tip of the sword. The two men moved their swords back and forth. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen moves had passed.

Everyone cheered.
