Chapter 184: The Gu Master Who Trained the Young Hero
The sun was shining brightly in the afternoon, and the sunlight fell on the handsome face of the young man. Even though he had an eye disease, it did not detract from the beauty of the distant green mountains in the misty Jiangnan region.
Lin Zhi raised her eyes slightly, but did not stand up. Instead, she picked up the silk ribbon in Qi He's hand in this posture.
His fingers deftly untied the knot on the silk ribbon. Qi He lowered her head obediently, waiting for him to untie it.
Lin Zhi didn't need to speak. When he raised his hand, Qi He had already stepped forward.
The jade-like beauty tied her silk ribbon in a leisurely manner, without even glancing at anyone else.
Qi He lowered his head, looking like a well-behaved and even somewhat weak and pitiful apprentice. It was very confusing, and the onlookers around him couldn't help but doubt themselves.
So it wasn't you, young man, who just made someone vomit blood on the stage with a palm strike? Why are you pretending you can’t take care of yourself?
The entire competition venue was like boiling water. Even though Qi He was still present, they discussed without restraint.
They discussed his martial arts, his palm techniques, his background, and even his face. Of course, there were also many female heroes discussing him and his master.
Qi He and He Zhenghang did not fight for too long. Even Wen Baixin and Li Fei fought for more than two hours, but Qi He only took less than half an hour to decide the winner.
Many people think that if Qi He used a sword, he might be able to go faster.
This is also a point that makes many people marvel. Logically speaking, quality is more important than quantity in martial arts. Qi He's swordsmanship is not only strange, with some traces of knife skills, but he can even use palm techniques.
Although Wu Feng has disappeared from the world for a long time, there are still a few people who remember his name and his moves. But no matter what, Wu Feng has nothing to do with the handsome young man sitting there, which makes the identities of the master and apprentice shrouded in mystery.
The tea in front of Lin Zhi had been replaced long ago, and there was a cold dumpling snack in front of him. He ate politely, not paying any attention to the inquiring or excited gazes around him.
After He Zhenghang lost, he sat back in his seat dejectedly. He wanted to tell his master about the blind man's shameless words, but now was not a good time.
He Yanghong's face was ugly, he knew his apprentice's strength, but today He Zhenghang was beaten back step by step and had no strategy at all, he was so anxious that he revealed many flaws, he wanted to teach him a lesson, but he also knew that even if his apprentice exerted all his strength, he might not be the opponent of that young man.
But the other party did not use a sword but his palm, which was a slap in the face to humiliate him in public.
He was proud of his status and of course would not bother with the younger generation, but he was always able to exchange a few moves with that person's master.
He Yanghong's gaze swept across the young man, emitting a fierce light.
Lin Zhi felt it, looked in the direction of He Yanghong, and raised his teacup to him as a greeting.
He Yanghong became even more angry. Both the master and disciple were extremely arrogant.
The next game was between Qu Ziheng and Qi He. The game ended earlier than everyone expected, and no one said they wanted to watch after lunch. This inevitably seemed to be a bit disrespectful to the two young heroes, as if they thought it would take a long time for them to decide the winner, so the third game started directly.
The young man named Ying Shuang came on stage. This was the first time Lin Zhi saw him and he looked him over.
Ying Shuang was about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, with a plain appearance. He was holding a silver spear in his hand, looking neat and tidy.
Lin Zhi couldn't find out his origins and thought that he might be someone else in disguise, but no matter who it was, it was definitely not Jiang Yan.
A person's appearance is easy to change, but habits are not, especially the walking posture and body movements. This person does not look like Jiang Yan.
But it’s strange that Jiang Yan hasn’t appeared yet.
Qu Ziheng's swordsmanship is the best among the disciples of the Seven Stars Sect this year. He displays the Seven Stars swordsmanship's combination of softness with hardness and falsehood to great effect.
Ying Shuang's spears were like dragons emerging from the sea, and the two men fought back and forth, which was quite exciting.
Lin Zhi naturally hoped that Qu Ziheng could make it into the top three, but looking at Ying Shuang's fighting power, Lin Zhi knew that the result was difficult to judge.
Ying Shuang is not only an excellent marksman, but also very calm and composed. He is neither impatient nor anxious, and can quickly find opportunities even if he falls into a disadvantage for a while.
Qu Ziheng's sword intention is more straightforward, but he is extremely talented and spiritual, so he is also able to seize opportunities.
Unlike Wen Baixin's comeback and Qi He's pursuit of victory, the duel between Qu Ziheng and Ying Shuang is equivalent to a standard martial arts competition. The two are in a stalemate, which makes people's hearts go up and down.
"It seems like Qu Ziheng is going to break his promise with you."
"I'm afraid I'll have to choose another day to spar with Brother Qu."
Lin Zhi's voice and Qi He's voice sounded at the same time, showing a perfect understanding.
Qi He tilted his head slightly: "Master, does this count as telepathy?"
Lin Zhi chuckled and said, "You felt it too?"
"Their strengths are evenly matched, but Ying Shuang is always very stable. He can even use his vital points as bait and keep breathing in critical moments. With such an opponent, Brother Qu is likely to fail."
Lin Zhi nodded: "Well said."
He felt that Ying Shuang could win, and this was his inference.
The two fought for an hour and a half, and finally Qu Ziheng was defeated by Ying Shuang.
Qu Ziheng was a little annoyed, but he had already exhausted all his strength, so he generously congratulated the other party on his victory.
"Lingshan Sect Yingshuang, thank you Brother Qu for your teachings, we will have a chance to learn from each other some other day."
Ying Shuang supported his body with his gun and responded breathlessly.
Qu Ziheng was surprised: "So you are a disciple of Lingshan Sect, then why didn't you introduce yourself before?"
"Winning is more prestigious."
A cunning look flashed across Ying's eyes. This was a little trick of their Lingshan Sect disciples.
Never reveal your identity if you do something that would embarrass you, and don't miss the opportunity to leave your name behind, otherwise there wouldn't be so many legends in the world.
Qu Ziheng smiled and punched him. It could be said that the two of them got to know each other through fighting.
Ying Shuang answered the second part in a low voice, but he did not hide his voice when he introduced himself in the first part, so everyone soon knew that he was a disciple of Lingshan Sect.
Someone asked Qu Ziheng the same question: Why didn’t he introduce himself before?
Someone answered: Maybe it’s because they want to be low-key. After all, they in the Lingshan Sect never like to show up in the spotlight.
Everyone thought for a while and agreed: This is very true.
Lin Zhi didn't care why Ying Shuang announced his name. It turned out that he was a disciple from Lingshan Sect. No wonder he couldn't get any information.
However, during the evening gathering, Qu Ziheng informed Lin Zhi, and with his consent, he brought Ying Shuang with him, and ruthlessly exposed the truth that Ying Shuang was low-key.
Ying Shuang smiled and said, "This is my personal behavior, and it has nothing to do with our Lingshan Sect. The sisters and brothers in our Lingshan Sect all behave in a low-key manner."
"Tomorrow is the decisive moment, Young Master Lin, remember to show mercy."
Ying Shuang joked with Qi He, and Qu Ziheng said with gritted teeth: "Xiao He, don't be polite, beat him up as hard as I would."
"Wow, are we brothers? You are so cruel!"
Qu Ziheng is enthusiastic and straightforward, and Ying Shuang is equally cheerful and free-spirited. The two started to call each other brothers not long after they met.
No one was surprised at all, because they were all brought together by Qu Ziheng in this way.
Qingxun was watching with a smile at first, but soon became a little depressed.
Lin Zhi noticed his strangeness and asked in a low voice.
"I just thought of Jiang Yan. He hasn't come yet. It seems that he didn't leave his address when we parted. I don't know where to find him."
Yan Yixuan comforted him, "It's okay. Shaguajian has a wide network of contacts and knows many people. He can find out the whereabouts of the young master. There is strength in numbers, and we will always find him!"
Xin Youyingshuang asked curiously, "Who is the Fool Sword?"
Yan Yixiuan secretly looked at Qu Ziheng and stuck out her tongue. She didn't want to embarrass Qu Ziheng in front of his new friends, she just said it casually.
Ying Shuang looked at their expressions and realized what was going on. He laughed out loud, “Foolish Sword, hahahahahaha.”
Seeing him laughing so exaggeratedly, Qu Ziheng was a little annoyed and said, "I'm the Fool Sword and you're the Dementia Gun. What's so funny?"
"Dementia Gun, hahahahahahaha, Brother Qu, your talent for naming is truly outstanding."
Ying Shuangxiao couldn't even lift his head and almost slipped to the ground. His laughter infected everyone and everyone started laughing for no apparent reason.
Until someone came running to report the incident, saying, "Something happened! Something happened!"
"The place where the Ice Jade Lotus was placed was robbed, and the Seven Star Sect disciple who was guarding it was killed on the spot. The arrow from yesterday's pot-tossing was stuck in his heart. It was the arrow with Young Master Lin's name written on it!"
