The two of them stood firm against each other, not like they were fighting in the air, and the back garden didn't have such a big space for them to fight. Instead, they used a flower tree between the two of them to see who would fly the sword. You can pick the most colorful flowers in the garden without damaging them.
At their current state, their control over the flying sword has become subtle and they have become able to move and retract it freely. Although this kind of competition cannot completely replace the real battle, it can basically show the ability of the flying sword.
A sword cultivator's battle is too dangerous, and the difference is often only a few millimeters; in the same sword fight, if I stab you first, your flying sword will only be a moment too late, and the difference is probably only a few feet or several feet; if you hold on, just hold on. It affects the display of strength, and it will inevitably cause damage if you let go. Therefore, it is not forced by the situation, and swordsmen rarely fight swords with each other.
Both of them were interested in trying the other's improvement in swordsmanship over the years, so they both tried their best.
The two flying swords competed above and below the flower tree, just like two butterflies surrounding the flower tree. During the ups and downs, they would not even touch a flower leaf, and whoever touched it would lose.
The art of flying swords is such a control process. First, they become proficient, then pursue maximum power, speed, and change, and then converge these abilities to achieve full control, which is what they can do now.
If you go further, you will add attribute power and understanding of the great road, and it will be another world.
The strength is restrained and hidden, but when the flying swords collide, they make a dull clanging sound, which is very unpleasant to hear.
After several sword strikes, Rao Zongzhi quickly fell into a disadvantage. This was all-round suppression, strength, speed, and changes... Even though Rao Zongzhi had never relaxed his practice of swordsmanship in these years, he fought with Tiantian in the soul realm. Compared with Hou Tzu, he still looks too young,
This was not only a matter of hard work, but also a matter of talent; he never thought so about how high Hou Zi's talent was, but if a swordsman fought against Jian San every day, he would still have talent even if he didn't have talent.
After a few seconds, Hou Zi's flying sword simply pressed directly on Jao Zongzhi's flying sword, as if one butterfly was riding another butterfly, making the movement of Rao Zongzhi's flying sword more and more stagnant and difficult. , as if it will fall down at any time and cannot fly.
This was the first time Rao Zongzhi saw such a situation. Knowing that the gap was a bit big, he reluctantly took back his flying sword and said angrily:
"You are my senior brother, and I am your junior brother! What a weirdo, I don't know how you mastered this swordsmanship?"
Hou Ting was very proud. There was not so much hypocrisy between the brothers, and there was no need to worry about Junior Brother Rao's face.
"Junior brother, do you think these skills of my brother are comparable to those of true disciples in the sect?"
Rao Zongzhi was such an astute person that he immediately caught the meaning of Hou Zi's words, "Haha, it turns out that junior brother Toad wants to eat swan meat and intends to get involved in the position of true disciple?"
Hou Zi said generously, "Why don't you want to? Isn't it because you have been practicing swordsmanship for decades just to make yourself famous in the mainland and to be a saint in front of others? Don't you think so, senior brother?"
Rao Zongzhi smiled bitterly, "Of course I think about it, even in my dreams, but it's useless to think about it because of my lack of strength. I know several of the true disciples in the sect, and I have known a few of them, such as Wei Gu, Fang Zhonghui, and Wu Weijiang. However, I have never actually tried the sword once. Maybe they value their status? Or maybe I can’t stand up to them?”
Looking at Hou Zi, his eyes were filled with excitement, "Junior brother wants to try to challenge the true position, and I support it with all my hands. Over the years, the true position has become the private property of some power groups in the sect and is controlled by factions and families. Ordinary monks cannot do it at all.
There is not even a chance to compete. This is not what a prosperous sect should see.
But, how to challenge is a question, how about I help you arrange something with..."
Hou Zi quickly stopped him, "Senior brother, you are overthinking this. This is a battle between true disciples. The fight is not about fighting and killing on the surface, but the power competition behind it. You think it is a duel in the ring, why don't you do it?"
arrange?"
Inviting a fight in private is meaningless at all. Who will testify? Who is willing to admit it? Instead, he will be punished for violating religious rules and having a private fight.
Moreover, why should others easily agree to your rude request? If you win, you should, but if you lose, it will be shameful...
Rao Zongzhi knew something was wrong as soon as he said it. After all, he was a figure in Yujing's cultivation circle, and he was no stranger to the gains and losses involved.
His mind was spinning very quickly, "It's senior brother and I'm just talking nonsense, but like this, we need to think long-term and plan slowly. The nine true successor places... Well, is there any intersection between junior brother and Quan Zhenren and Yuan Zhenren's family?"
Hou Zi burst out laughing. It seems that everyone has the same idea. No wonder everyone thinks so. Nine of the thirteen real people have their own disciples. Of course, they can only consider the remaining four and two.
I don’t even care about these competitions...
"There is no intersection, and there are no plans in this regard for the time being. Rushing is not a business, it must be natural and reasonable."
Rao Zongzhi nodded, with a strange look on his face, "That's right. Junior brother, do you know which real person's disciples have been the most popular in recent years?"
Hou Zi said with a smile: "Is it possible that Cheng Cheng is a disciple of the two great masters Quan Yuan?"
The two laughed loudly, with a slight hint of helplessness in their laughter.
The succession of masters in Quanzhen Religion is very complicated. The master chooses the disciple, and the disciple chooses the master. It is a two-way process.
Of course, in view of the unequal status between them, the master is always more proactive, while the apprentice is very passive. It is a bit wishful thinking to think that one can become popular among many veteran cultivators based on their talent and potential.
In the world of cultivation, the most indispensable thing is talent; those who can support a monk to go all the way, talent will never be ranked first.
For example, when a monk reaches the level of infant transformation, he will basically not accept disciples easily. If he suddenly becomes interested, it will be purely based on chance, mood, and some inexplicable things.
The reason why the disciples of the two masters Quan and Yuan suddenly had so many knocking disciples is self-evident; in fact, it is not that they want to be the masters of the masters, but to be the disciples of several golden elixir disciples under the masters.
It is through the power of Master, Zhenren, that I can help push myself forward.
No one is stupid, and the key here is not difficult to understand.
Apprenticeship in this situation involves too many elements of exchange of interests, and guidance on practice comes second. It is more like a disciple who goes through all kinds of hardships for the benefit of the real person, just to get a chance to make progress.
.
Rao Zongzhi said playfully: "The two masters Quan and Yuan also have several Jindan disciples. Do you want me to come with them one by one for my junior brother?"
Hou Zi shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "This is no longer a pure and impure issue. It is basically selling yourself to become a private member of Zhenzhen's house, a disciple of his disciples. Forget it, this road is blocked. If you do it forcefully, you will lose your own.
Daoxin."
Rao Zongzhi smiled, "I knew you would be like this. It seems that after decades of practice, your face skills have not improved at all;
In fact, let alone you, even I wouldn’t bother doing this. It’s too embarrassing, and I’m afraid it may not achieve any purpose.”
