Lin Caogen fired 10 arrows from 2.5 kilometers away, hitting the bullseye 10 times!
Upon hearing this result, Wang Bodang was filled with shame!
"My dear nephew, your archery skills are truly divine! Incredible! Incredible! You are a true young talent, unparalleled in history! I, Wang, have seen many skilled archers throughout the ages, but I have never seen anyone as divine as you! You can hit the bullseye from 2.5 kilometers away! Truly! Alas! I am getting old!"
Lin Caogen modestly replied, "Actually, I have exceptional eyesight by nature and can see things at extremely far distances! This is a natural advantage, nothing more! If we're talking about mental fortitude when shooting arrows, this junior is naturally inferior to Patriarch Wang!"
"Oh? I see!"
Seeing that Lin Caogen had given him a way out, Wang Bodang was quite pleased!
Wu Santong said, "Old Wang, since you have time, why don't you give Caogen some pointers on swordsmanship again? Your 36-style Songshan swordsmanship is really powerful!"
Wang Bodang hesitated and said, "Brother Wu! Although my Songshan Sword Technique is only a high-level Xuan-rank immortal technique, it is still incredibly powerful when used! My humble nephew is only at the 7th level of the Body Refinement stage! I'm afraid!"
Wu Santong said, "If you use internal force, Caogen is naturally no match for you! How about this? Neither of you are allowed to use internal force!"
Wang Bodang said, "That's excellent! It's just a friendly exchange of moves! Even though swords and blades are indiscriminate, we won't seriously injure the opponent!"
Wang Bodang's son, Wang Wei, said, "Isn't this nonsense? My father has been immersed in swordsmanship for many years. If he doesn't use his internal energy, his sword techniques are unmatched on the entire continent. Who can be his opponent!"
Wang Wei's words are not wrong! Although Wu Santong and Baidi City are skilled in martial arts, they have the advantage of strong internal strength. If it were just a sword fight, no one would be a match for Wang Bodang!
Wang Bodang angrily said, "You worthless son, you're like a frog in a well! Haven't you heard that there are mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people? Just now, during the archery competition, you spouted nonsense! As a result, our Wang family was slapped in the face! Now, during the sword competition, you're spouting nonsense again. Do you really think there's no hero in the world who can defeat your father?"
Wang Wei, after being scolded by Wang Bodang, still retorted, "Father's archery skills are inferior to his because of his limited eyesight. Now, in a swordsmanship contest, naturally no one can match Father! Unless Father lets this kid win!"
Wang Bodang angrily retorted, "Get out of my way! You're infuriating me!"
Bai Dicheng hurriedly advised, "Old Wang, don't be angry! What your son said is true. If we're only talking about swordsmanship, it's only by joining forces with Wu Santong that we can hold our own against you. That's an indisputable fact!"
Wang Bodang sighed, "One must be humble, especially in front of an opponent one has never fought! Although I have achieved some success in swordsmanship, I must still maintain humility in front of an unknown opponent! This is the cultivation of a martial artist, and also an essential path to seeking immortality!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Santong, Bai Dicheng, and Lin Caogen all nodded in agreement!
Wang Wei lowered his head in shame after hearing these words! He was too young! Too arrogant! Too conceited! He hadn't even entered society yet, and he couldn't possibly see the truth!
Wang Bodang's strength ranks third in the entire Fragment Continent! However, he is humble and polite, never arrogant, calm in his work, and methodical in his analysis of problems, which is why he is deeply respected by everyone.
Wang Bodang then took out two wooden swords and said, "Nephew, since we're going to spar, how about we use these two wooden swords as our weapons?"
Lin Caogen nodded and said, "Patriarch Wang is very thoughtful! This junior thanks Patriarch Wang for his guidance!" After saying that, Lin Caogen bowed and accepted the wooden sword handed to him by Wang Bodang!
Wang Bodang laughed and said, "My humble nephew has a bright future ahead of him, yet he is also low-key and modest! He truly has the countenance of an emperor!"
Lin Caogen smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Patriarch Wang!"
Wang Bodang said, "Nephew Caogen! Although my Songshan Sword Technique is only at the high-level of the Xuan rank, its level is not very high! However, its sword moves are exquisite, and each move does not consume much immortal energy! In terms of prolonged battles, this Songshan Sword Technique is the most suitable! So, you should not underestimate this sword technique!"
Lin Caogen then said, "We cannot underestimate any kind of immortal technique in the world! In my humble opinion, it is inappropriate to classify immortal techniques according to the so-called four ranks of Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow! An immortal technique that unleashes unparalleled power is called Heaven-rank, while an immortal technique that unleashes too little or too weak power is defined as Yellow-rank. This is just like the difference between an atomic bomb and a bullet! Little do people know that a bullet can also kill the person who dropped the atomic bomb, preventing it from detonating! Therefore, I will definitely take Patriarch Wang's sword technique seriously!"
Wang Bodang exclaimed in amazement, "Nephew, your understanding of immortal arts is quite unique! Although I understood half of it, I really don't understand the other half! I've never heard of atomic bombs or bullets before! But I think what you said is very true! I really admire you!"
Wu Santong shouted, "Alright! Old Wang, don't hold back! Make your move!"
Wang Bodang laughed and said, "Fine! Then I'll make my move!"
Wang Bodang's sword moved like a dragon, and although he did not use his internal force, his sword energy was overwhelming!
A strong wind suddenly swept across the training ground, and fallen leaves were blown away when they encountered the sword energy!
As the sword thrust forward, Lin Caogen had already anticipated Wang Bodang's true intentions!
His mind raced. Wang Bodang's swordplay seemed incredibly swift, but it was actually full of feints! Just when you thought he was going to stab you in the heart, he was actually going to draw his sword and turn around to cut your waist!
Lin Caogen was not alarmed when he saw Wang Bodang thrusting his sword toward his heart.
Wang Bodang had been practicing this sword technique for a long time. Just as the wooden tip of his sword was about to touch Lin Caogen's heart, he quickly pulled back to cut his waist!
Lin Caogen took the initiative and did a backflip. Just as Wang Bodang was about to cut his waist, Lin Caogen had already flipped over to dodge the move. At the same time, his sword was like a meteor, directly slashing towards Wang Bodang's throat!
