Chapter 135. The battle between master and apprentice
"This little guy has actually understood the laws of heaven and earth." Master Zhuo Yan dodged quickly while carefully feeling the mystery of the law of water contained in Li Feng's sword technique.
The original red pupils of Gujing Mubo suddenly burst into a ball of blazing light, and his expression revealed an unprecedented solemnity and shock.
"Is this the difference between mid-level warriors and high-level warriors?" Li Feng held the sword in his hand and swung it continuously, feeling extremely shocked by the strength of Master Zhuo Yan.
His steps are steady, his body shape is erratic, he always maintains his center of gravity, and kills his opponent at high speed along an irregular curve, like a cheerful fish.
One after another, sharp sword lights came and went, one after another, continuously.
It's like endless waves, rushing toward Master Zhuoyan layer by layer.
Master Zhuo Yan fought with Li Feng, and he was very calm at first.
However, after Li Feng used the Dualang Sword Technique, he felt the artistic conception contained in the sword technique.
The whole person was immediately shocked, and he was no longer as easy to resist as before.
Instead, he was forced to dodge everywhere.
Li Feng's sword is like the undulating waves on the sea, continuous and turbulent, and may drown the opponent at any time.
There is a touch of fierceness in the fierceness.
Powerful and unstoppable.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
Master Zhuoyan's steps were blurred, his figure kept flickering, like a gust of wind, elegant but as fast as thunder and lightning, dodging around in the courtyard.
Wherever it goes, fixed afterimages are formed.
The sword passed through the afterimage again and again, but it just penetrated through the afterimage and was completely ineffective.
Li Feng's arm expanded in a circle, and the surging vitality suddenly poured into the sword, and the speed of swinging the sword increased instantly.
Brushing, a sharp whistle sounded, and struck Master Zhuo Yan's left arm and shoulder like lightning.
Master Zhuo Yan did not choose to give in this time. He quickly swung his sword and collided with the sword in Li Feng's hand.
Peng, exploded with a muffled sound.
Sawdust flew everywhere, and a strong force hit Li Feng's body, knocking him back seven or eight steps.
"Hmph, take the move." Master Zhuo Yan suddenly roared, and like a furious ape, he leaped into the air and slashed at Li Feng with his sword.
The blade was extremely fast and fierce, cutting through the sky at extremely high speed, slashing towards Li Feng with endless force, like a lightning bolt, with the potential of a bursting fire.
Li Feng felt the soaring anger emanating from the opponent, and the hot fighting spirit in his eyes was instantly annihilated. He felt horrified in his heart, and quickly swung his sword across the sword, only to hear a thunderous explosion on the ground.
boom!
The simulated battle knife broke with a sound, and countless sawdust exploded. Li Feng was also hit in the chest. Under the strong impact, his whole body flew out hard, hit a big tree, and fell suddenly.
A group of people around looked at this scene in stunned silence.
Oh my god, is this Li Feng a monster?
He actually fought alone with Master Zhuo Yan for so long without losing, and in the end he actually forced Master Zhuo Yan to use his unique skills to defeat him.
It was also the first time that everyone saw Master Zhuo Yan competing with his disciples, and they felt it was so difficult.
Where does this guy Li Feng come from? His fighting talent is simply astonishing.
"It hurts so much. It feels like someone has punched me in the chest, and my blood is boiling."
"Master Zhuo Yan should have withdrawn his strength at the critical moment, otherwise, I'm afraid I would have been split in half by the opponent's knife."
"The nine-star warrior is indeed terrifying. His sword strikes like a volcano erupting, as fast as lightning, and I can't dodge at all."
Li Feng climbed up from the ground in a panic, vomiting blood from his mouth, and his eyes were full of horror.
He had just competed with Master Zhuo Yan and finally understood the difference between an intermediate warrior and a high-level warrior.
If he hadn't understood a hint of the secret of the law of water with his sword skills, there would be no way to force Master Zhuo Yan to deal with it with all his strength.
This Master Zhuoyan is really strong. He just used the Overlapping Wave Saber Technique with all his strength, and he didn't even touch the opponent's fur.
If the two sides were truly engaged in a life-and-death fight, the other side would definitely be able to kill him with one move.
Especially the last sword wielded by Master Zhuo Yan was like a thunderbolt, mixed with endless anger and coming towards his face.
Fierce and domineering, unstoppable.
He was as small as a small boat standing in front of a huge wave.
No wonder Master Shi Qing recommended him here. It seems that Master Zhuoyan does have extraordinary strength.
"Master Zhuoyan, I lost."
"It seems that I am not qualified to be your disciple." Li Feng exhaled softly, took a step forward, and said with some frustration.
Even with all his strength, he was unable to occupy any of the top. This Master Zhuoyan was more terrifying than he imagined.
Just when he thought that this apprenticeship would end in failure.
However, what Master Zhuo Yan said next made Li Feng extremely excited.
"No, Li Feng, don't be depressed now, you are qualified to be my disciple." Master Zhuo Yan said with a smile, his majestic face showing a smile from the bottom of his heart.
"Li Feng, to be honest, your talent is the best I have encountered since I established the dojo for decades."
"I didn't expect that you would understand a little bit of the laws of heaven and earth at such a young age after competing with you just now."
"Based on this alone, you have surpassed nearly 90% of the geniuses in this sea."
When Li Feng heard this, he was suddenly stunned. He actually passed Master Zhuo Yan's assessment and gained his approval. What happened?
It seems that the Dielang Sword Technique taught by Fu Xingkui is indeed extraordinary.
Master Zhuo Yan continued: "You must know that the laws of heaven and earth are as vast as the sea and supreme."
"It is ethereal, but it is everywhere, appearing in our lives all the time."
"This mysterious power cannot be seen or touched."
"It can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words. If you want to have some insights, it is very important for personal understanding."
"Some people may not be able to touch it throughout their lives."
"And some people have already understood it when they just came into contact with martial arts."
"This is the talent that truly qualifies you to practice martial arts."
"You obviously belong to the latter group. You are worthy of being a genius. Haha, it seems that my unique skill has finally been succeeded by someone." Master Zhuo Yan stood with his hands behind his hands and looked at Li Feng. The more he looked at him, the more satisfied he became.
It was like looking at an uncut piece of raw jade, with eyes full of surprises.
Li Feng couldn't believe it and said: "Master Zhuo Yan, but I have already lost!"
"What does it matter if you lose?" Master Zhuo Yan said with a bright smile on his majestic face.
"This is just a competition. With your current strength, can you defeat me?"
Li Feng smiled coquettishly: "That's right."
"How old are you? You are only sixteen years old this year. You still have great potential in the future." Master Zhuo Yan said with emotion.
"I have been traversing the sea for decades, experienced hundreds of battles, and experienced countless baptisms of blood and fire."
"I don't know how many geniuses I have seen, not to mention the number of elite warriors who died in my hands, which are too many to count."
"Not to mention you, a little guy, even an ordinary nine-star warrior is no match for me."
"Winning or losing doesn't matter."
"The important thing is that you must have a strong heart to pursue martial arts."
Li Feng bowed and said, "Thank you, Master Zhuo Yan. Li Feng has learned a lesson."
"Shi Qing's ability to recommend you to me proves that his vision is indeed good." Master Zhuo Yan nodded with satisfaction, looking at Li Feng with increasingly satisfied eyes.
Li Feng said excitedly: "Teacher, please bow to me as a disciple."
After saying that, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed to his master.
Master Zhuo Yan stood with his hands behind his back, smiling broadly, and seriously accepted Li Feng's apprenticeship ceremony.
"Okay, keep everything simple, as long as you have this intention."
"I don't care much about these frivolous things."
Li Feng immediately stood up and nodded in greeting: "I understand, teacher."
From today on, he can be regarded as a formal apprentice and has been recognized by Master Zhuo Yan.
From now on, he will be considered a member of the Green Stone Dojo and will no longer be helpless. This can also be regarded as his first step towards exploring the stars and the sea in the future.
"Well, let's take a good rest. When the time comes, you come to me. Since you are my disciple, of course I will not hesitate to teach you. What achievements you will have in the future will all depend on you." Master Zhuo Yan nodded.
Then he turned to look at the two brothers Zhuo Yu, Zhuo Qing, and Ding Zhuang, and said solemnly: "From today on, Li Feng is my direct disciple."
"You must assist him well in the future and carry forward the Green Stone Dojo."
When Zhuo Yu heard this, his expression changed and he couldn't help but said: "Father, Li Feng..."
"I know what you want to say. Do you think Li Feng has only joined the dojo for a short time and is not yet qualified to inherit the dojo?" Master Zhuo Yan said seriously.
Zhuo Yu didn't say a word, but the meaning on his face was obvious.
Master Zhuo Yan said in a majestic tone: "You and Qing'er are my children. I have tried my best to teach you these years and have never hidden them."
"But your performance has disappointed me so much."
"There are many things that you need to fight for yourself. If you can't even hold what is put in front of you, what qualifications do you have to talk about others."
"I treat everyone equally."
"Reflect on yourself and see why your strength has stagnated over the years."
After saying that, Master Zhuo Yan entered the dojo with a tigerish face.
When Zhuo Yu and Zhuo Qing heard their father's teachings, their expressions were downcast and they looked extremely disappointed.
A group of people around, Ding Zhuang, Nan Huaijin, and Liu Cheng looked at Li Feng with envy.
This guy is really lucky. He was accepted as a direct disciple by Master Zhuo Yan just after he joined the dojo.
These old students have been in the dojo for several years. Not to mention accepting the guidance of Master Zhuo Yan, they rarely even have the opportunity to meet and ask for advice.
Li Feng had just fought against Master Zhuo Yan, and Li Feng only suffered minor internal injuries. With his super strong physique, he would be fine after just a day or two of rest.
Nan Huaijin, Liu Cheng, and Ding Zhuang all gathered around and congratulated Li Feng on becoming Master Zhuo Yan's direct disciple. Their words were full of envy and flattery.
Li Feng thanked him with a smile.
The three of them are only registered disciples of Master Zhuo Yan, while Li Feng is his direct disciple. Their identities are completely different.
What is a named disciple? It is nothing more than the name of a disciple of Master Zhuo Yan, and the teaching is usually entrusted to others to teach and guide.
You have to understand a lot of things on your own.
But it's different for direct disciples.
That is to be completely accepted by Master Zhuo Yan as his disciple, and taught by his personal words and deeds.
With one-on-one guidance and guidance, the relationship between the two parties is as deep as that of a father and son.
From the moment Li Feng was accepted as a direct disciple by Master Zhuo Yan, his status is now higher than that of Zhuo Yu and Zhuo Qing.
After resting like this for a few days, Li Feng came to Master Zhuo Yan's residence after recovering from his injuries.
As the master of the Green Stone Dojo, Master Zhuo Yan has an extremely high status.
The place of residence is located in a quiet courtyard at the deepest part of the dojo.
The courtyard is very spacious and empty, with basically no furnishings, only two futons and an antique sandalwood round table.
There was an incense burner placed on the table, with incense burning inside. Wisps of green smoke filled the air, and a strange fragrance filled the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Master Zhuoyan sat cross-legged on a futon, closing his eyes and meditating. He was like a stone sculpture. He couldn't detect a trace of breath. At first glance, he thought he was an ordinary old man.
Li Feng walked to the door of the courtyard and paused. He didn't know if it was appropriate to go in now.
"Come in!" An indifferent voice sounded in Li Feng's ears.
Li Feng was stunned for a moment, then quickly walked in.
After entering, they saw Master Zhuo Yan wearing a loose fiery red robe, sitting cross-legged on a futon, closing his eyes and meditating.
"Teacher." Li Feng came to the other party and said respectfully.
Master Zhuo Yan nodded slightly, then opened his eyes and looked at Li Feng.
Li Feng looked directly into the teacher's eyes. At this moment, he seemed to see two suns burning blazingly, which was extremely dazzling.
He suddenly felt a sting in his eyes, he lowered his head, not daring to make any more moves.
"Sit down." Master Zhuo Yan casually picked up the purple clay teapot and poured a cup of hot water for Li Feng and himself.
"Yes!" Li Feng responded and immediately sat down cross-legged.
"Have you recovered from your injuries?"
Li Feng nodded: "A small injury is nothing to worry about."
"Well, your body is indeed stronger than normal."
Master Zhuoyan held the tea cup, took a slow sip, and then said slowly: "A few days ago, when I was discussing with you, I discovered some secrets."
"Now we are the only master and apprentice left here. I wonder if you can explain it."
Li Feng's mind was moved and he couldn't help but ask: "Teacher, what secret did you discover?"
Master Zhuo Yan said with an approachable face: "Your sword skills are very good. When you use them, they are like endless waves, undulating and torrential."
"This is one of the mysterious laws of water."
"At such a young age, you are able to comprehend the power of heaven and earth. It is no exaggeration to say that you are a genius."
"However, I guess that before you came to my place, you should have been given guidance by a top expert."
When Li Feng heard this, he was stunned for a moment, pondered for a moment, and then nodded truthfully: "Teacher's guess is correct. I was indeed given guidance by an expert before I came here again."
"But the other party doesn't want others to know his identity, so please forgive me, teacher."
Master Zhuo Yan said calmly: "As expected, I didn't make any guesses."
"I heard from Shi Qing that you are only sixteen years old and have been rated as a super talent by your family."
"In addition, a few days ago, you and I competed with each other, and we were able to display such shocking sword skills."
"From these two points, it is enough to see that you must have received guidance from an expert."
"Otherwise, it is impossible to explain that a civilian boy under the age of sixteen could reach such a level of strength. It is really shocking to tell the truth."
Li Feng said respectfully: "Teacher, you are really amazing. You can tell at a glance that I have been taught by an expert."
"You wouldn't mind."
Master Zhuo Yan shook his head and said with a dumb smile: "Why would I mind? It's too late to be grateful."
"I have traveled across the stars and seas for decades, and have been looking for direct disciples to inherit the mantle, hoping to carry forward my lifelong knowledge."
"Unfortunately, we have never found a suitable candidate."
"Unexpectedly, when I was very disappointed, God actually sent me a genius."
"Destiny, sometimes it loves to play tricks on people."
Li Feng did not say a word, listening to Master Zhuo Yan's heartfelt words, he breathed a sigh of relief.
At first, he was quite evasive after being given guidance by Fu Xingkui before.
It was just because he was afraid that Master Zhuoyan might consider that he might be someone else's disciple and might turn him away.
Now it seems that I was completely over-worrying.
"Thank you for your understanding, teacher." Li Feng said with sincere gratitude.
Master Zhuo Yan waved his hand: "Okay, let's get down to business."
"We have competed before, and I have seen your sword skills. On the surface, they are very good."
“There are many advantages in it, which makes me very satisfied.”
"The sword is quick, powerful, and powerful."
"With that endless wave-like artistic conception, once it is deployed, it will be almost invincible within the same level."
Li Feng said humbly: "Thank you very much for the teacher's compliment. Li Feng is very talented and has little knowledge. There are still many shortcomings that need to be improved."
Li Feng was quite proud to be recognized by a title and strong man.
At least, the method he used to practice the Overlapping Wave Sword Technique before was correct.
"Indeed, your sword skills have many advantages. At your age, it is already very impressive to use them to this extent. But there are still some shortcomings that need to be made up." Master Zhuo Yan said.
When Li Feng heard this, he couldn't help but frown: "Teacher, what are the shortcomings of my sword skills?"
"The disadvantage is that it cannot control or exert force as desired, and the use of vitality is also very superficial." Master Zhuoyan commented sharply.
