The patriarch and the elders gathered in the elders' meeting hall to exchange opinions and reach a consensus on this matter.
"It seems Feng'er has really made progress. He came to visit me a few days ago. I thought he was just fooling around, but he memorized the contents of these books with just a glance. His learning talent is amazing! We didn't even know about it before. We are really remiss!" The elder guarding the Sutra Library sighed.
"Feng'er's talent in swordsmanship is as amazing as Yu'er's. We didn't even know it before! We let him do whatever he wants for so many years. It's such a sin!" The elder who was in charge of the skills said with regret, beating his chest and stamping his feet.
"So we should thank the Liu family for this conflict? They woke up our genius and made him realize the importance of cultivation." The Punishment Elder snorted coldly.
"Of course not. Feng'er survived a great disaster and has good fortune in the future. The hatred is still hatred. The blessing is our Feng'er's own hard work. Feng'er is only fifteen and a half years old now, it's not too late." The logistics elder said quickly. This is a matter of right and wrong, and the verdict cannot be overturned.
"Yes, it's not too late now. With Feng'er's current training speed, he can definitely be promoted to a swordsman within a year. With such a training speed, an outer disciple of the Bishui Sword Sect is not qualified! At least there must be a quota for an inner disciple, right?!" The external liaison elder asked excitedly.
"A sixteen-year-old swordsman is not qualified to become an inner disciple. We know Feng'er's talent, but they don't. They should only look at age and cultivation." Clan leader Li Lei was calmer and guessed.
"Yes, then, what should we do? Feng'er is such a good seedling, but he can only enter the outer sect. It's too unfair for him." The logistics elder sighed.
"Don't feel wronged. His biological sister Yu'er is here. If he is really a genius, he will not be buried." Li Lei saw it clearly.
The other elders thought it was true. They were just talking to themselves and worrying about nothing.
"I didn't expect Li Shuo's children to be so promising! Feng'er and Yu'er are even more talented than Li Shuo was back then. Back then, he..." A retired elder sighed.
"Ahem... What's the point of talking about the past? It happened more than ten or twenty years ago." An elder of the current generation quickly interrupted the conversation.
Li Lei watched quietly from the side, listening to the change of color on the faces of these elders as they talked about "Shuo". He looked dazed and didn't know what he was thinking.
…
When Li Qi heard this, he couldn't believe it.
"How is this possible? Li Feng is a genius in swordsmanship?! How is this possible?!"
He started practicing formally at the age of twelve. After three years of practice, he consumed countless resources before he finally reached the great success of the Sword Body Realm. As a high-level swordsman, he still had a long way to go before reaching the perfection of the Sword Body Realm. However, I am already the fastest practitioner among the three generations of their Li family.
Except for Li Yu, that person is a monster. Fortunately, he has left the family.
Now, Li Feng has to be added to the list.
This unlearned fellow, this dandy boy, this waste!
Thinking of this, Li Qi, who was very angry, stood up and walked out of his own yard and came to Li Feng's yard.
Li Feng had already emerged from the bathroom and was back in the courtyard practicing a new phase of basic swordsmanship. Watching Li Feng's every movement, every technique, it felt like two different levels of swordsmanship, clearly the same "Basic Swordsmanship," as if the other person's swordsmanship manual was a level higher and more profound than his own.
However, if you look closely, it is indeed the same sword technique - "Basic Sword Technique".
How is this possible? Li Qi thought of a passage in a book annotated by a famous swordsman.
"For those who are truly gifted in the way of the sword, when they practice the same 'Basic Sword Technique', to those watching, it seems completely different from the 'Basic Sword Technique' we practice. It's as if it was tailor-made for them."
I heard that cousin Li Yu was such a kendo genius before, but I didn’t expect that her brother Li Feng was also such a kendo genius.
Sure enough, can kendo talent be inherited? I heard that my uncle Li Shuo is a kendo genius. Is that the reason?
Herlin stopped moving and slowly calmed his breathing.
"Brother Qi, do you have something to ask me?"
"I heard that Brother Feng has entered the Sword Body Realm and has been promoted to a junior sword apprentice. I want to find Brother Feng to learn from him."
He Lin smiled and said, "Okay, I haven't competed with anyone in sword fighting yet. My cultivation level is low, so Brother Qi, please give me some leeway."
As soon as the two finished speaking, a servant hurried off to report the news.
When the two of them changed into wooden swords for fencing and started the competition, the patriarch and elders of the family had all arrived.
"Since we are going to compete with swords, let's be more formal. Elder, you will be their referee." Clan leader Li Lei said directly
The elder who was teaching the skills responded and walked between the two men, forming an equilateral triangle with them.
"please."
"please."
This was the etiquette for a private duel between two acquaintances, a simplified version of modern combat etiquette.
"Ready, three, two, one. The battle begins."
…
