He used a lot of strength. Even if Luo Jiujiang used all his strength to pull back the handle of the knife, the blade still did not move.
After repeatedly suppressing Luo Jiujiang's resistance, Luo Cang turned his gaze back to Luo Jiujiang's face. If eyes had temperature, Luo Cang's gaze would definitely carry a chilling chill that would make people's hair stand on end.
"This is a knife that has never been frustrated, and you are a piece of unpolished jade."
Before Luo Jiujiang could react to this comment, Luo Cang said another sentence that made Luo Jiujiang think he had seen a ghost.
"Do you want to learn my sound killing technique? Besides this, I also know a lot of other techniques. If you want to learn, I will teach you."
The tone Luo Cang used when he said this could even be considered gentle by ordinary people's definition.
"Not interested." Luo Jiujiang shuddered at the other person's "gentle" voice. He flatly refused, "If you're so interested in teaching people, you can just go out and sell your skills by the pound. Why come to me?"
"You don't want to." Luo Cang nodded thoughtfully, "Yes, because of your friend's matter, you have a prejudice against me." He thought carefully and came up with a good idea, "I got it, since you don't want to learn from me, I will beat you until you are willing."
Luo Jiujiang: “…” What a bullshit idea!
————————
A quarter of an hour later, Luo Jiujiang knelt exhausted on the ground. His sweat had soaked through his heavy shirt, and his hands were so damp that they slipped even when gripping the hilt of his sword. Every time he moved, a dark, sweat-soaked mark appeared on the dirt beneath him.
In this short period of time, Luo Cang's stormy offensive had almost exhausted all of Luo Jiujiang's energy. What surprised Luo Jiujiang the most was that every attack from the opponent was aimed at a flaw on his body.
If it weren't for this fight, Luo Jiujiang would have found it hard to believe that his swordsmanship was like a sieve, with holes everywhere.
Seeing Luo Jiujiang slumped to the ground and taking a breath, Luo Cang didn't attack again. Although his words were full of threats, what he did was actually more like a lesson than a beating.
Of course, the teaching method was too rough. It made Luo Jiujiang feel the hopelessness of resistance again and again, and made him deeply understand that his sword skills were as weak and poor as paper, almost like a child wielding a bamboo stick without any rules.
During the whole process, Luo Cang didn't say a word, but used actual actions to discredit Luo Jiujiang to the point of being worthless.
If he had been more delicate and sensitive, Luo Jiujiang might have never recovered from this.
Luo Cang gave Luo Jiujiang an incense stick of time to recuperate and rest. After an incense stick, he asked coldly, "Have you changed your mind?"
The figure leaning on the ground with the knife didn't move at all, nor did he utter a single syllable in response. Only the rhythmic rise and fall of his sweat-soaked back betrayed a steadfast silence.
Luo Cang had already proven this child's talent, and he thought he hadn't experienced any setbacks since childhood. Perhaps his advice had really been too much of a blow to him... Luo Cang silently considered this in his heart.
The next moment, Luo Jiujiang raised his head, a fine layer of sweat on his handsome face. He did not answer Luo Cang's question, but instead smiled at him, a bright and sunny smile, without a trace of frustration or inferiority.
"I figured it out. It's not that my swordsmanship has so many flaws, it's just that I'm too slow for you."
Luo Jiujiang compared this bout with his previous fights and quickly discovered the key issue. It wasn't that he was too bad, but that he was too slow. Because he was too slow, any connection between his moves was a flaw that could be exploited.
After hearing the other party's answer, Luo Cang was slightly stunned, and slowly lowered his hand which had just been half raised.
He had indeed done this on purpose, wanting to strike a blow against Luo Jiujiang, to make him see the difference between them, and to temper his temper. However, he hadn't expected that this young man, who had never tasted failure, would not be overwhelmed by negative emotions when faced with his first, even devastating, defeat, and even had the energy to think.
Judging from the sound killing in class, Luo Jiujiang's talent is already good enough, and this intelligence coupled with such a character is truly a rare talent and beauty.
If it were just good talent and good character, it would be fine, but with such talent and a temperament so similar to that of an old friend...
Luo Cang's eyelashes drooped, and his thoughts changed again. He raised his hand, summoning a stream of air to help Luo Jiujiang stand up: "Go and call your friend over."
Facing Luo Jiujiang's wary eyes, Luo Cang said calmly: "Isn't it because of him that you are arguing with me? Bring him here, I will apologize to him, and from now on you will be willing to learn from me."
When Luo Jiujiang arrived, Chen's tombstone had already been erected.
This wasn't the Chen clan's ancestral tomb. When Han Qianling's talent first emerged, yet he insisted on joining the Luo clan, the Chen clan erupted in a furious uproar, employing both overt and covert coercion for nearly half a month. Ultimately, the Chen clan lost their right to be buried in the ancestral tomb as a result of these threats and intimidation.
Chen's burial site was rich in vegetation and water. While not exactly picturesque, the environment was pleasant enough. It was just that the tomb was deserted. Apart from Han Qianling himself, no one came to attend the funeral.
Han Qianling was carefully painting the stone tablet with gold paint. Luo Jiujiang took a glance and saw two concise and clear lines of text: "Tomb of Chen Shuhong - erected by Han Qianling".
Han Qianling retracted his wrist, drew the last stroke, placed the pen on the inkstone beside him, and turned to look at Luo Jiujiang: "Didn't you go to Mr. Luo to practice? Why are you here?"
