Chapter 56 Drawing Dragons and Tigers, Seeking an Entrance Halfway Through
"I never expected that Zhang Yuanhao, that guy with thick eyebrows, big eyes and a rough face, would be so ruthless."
To resort to underhanded tactics in a fair and square competition is truly despicable.
The group from Huiyou Escort Agency had already left.
The onlookers from the martial arts world gradually dispersed.
Cheng Feiyan was still indignant when she recalled the dangerous scene from before.
It can only be said that it's easy to draw a dragon or a tiger, but difficult to draw their bones; one can know a person's face, but not their heart.
The other party has a great reputation and acts in a grand and imposing manner, yet they have such a hidden trick up their sleeve.
If it weren't for Li Xin's cunning move of switching places with someone else, it would have been truly unimaginable. Today, the outcome might have been completely different.
Li Xin shook his head: "In a life-or-death battle, no means are too extreme. It wouldn't be surprising if he pulled out a foreign gun halfway through."
Sometimes you can't overestimate your opponent's character; once you make a move, you should anticipate the worst possible outcome.
"No wonder my junior brother wasn't surprised at all, dodging so easily. Instead, he took advantage of the opponent's worn-out moves to deliver a fatal blow."
The more Cheng Feiyan looked at her junior brother, the more satisfied she became.
Compared to his senior brothers, including his eldest brother, he seemed rather dull and inflexible.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have allowed one of their daughters to bear the title of "Feiyan the Most Virtuous".
In the eyes of others, this is the highest praise.
In Cheng Feiyan's eyes, it was actually an insult to her own Cheng family's gossip.
Girls, they'll get married sooner or later, what do they need a reputation for?
It's not like taking the imperial examination to become an official.
"Sigh, this sect is such a headache. In the end, it will have to rely on me, a mere woman, to hold it up. Fortunately, my junior brother has arrived."
Cheng Feiyan was both excited and disappointed.
Suddenly remembering something, she paused slightly and said in a low voice, "Don't take what I told you before the competition seriously. It was just something your senior sister said casually to encourage you, and I don't remember it at all now."
"Which sentence? Are you referring to the time after I won, when they gave me a bath?"
"Pah, who gave you a bath? Come on, go take a bath and see... I'm talking about loosening your bones and tendons."
"Let's do some muscle relaxation then. I just finished a workout. Ugh, my herniated discs, my pelvis, everything aches..."
"Dad, what's wrong?"
Cheng Feiyan suddenly looked up and gazed behind Li Xin.
His ears turned red when he spoke.
Li Xin's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly realized that he hadn't seen anyone from his [Void Reflection] perspective.
He found it amusing and turned around cooperatively, only hearing a faint sound.
When I turned around again, I found that Senior Sister Feiyan had disappeared in the blink of an eye.
His movements and speed were three points faster than when he practiced his moves in the past.
"Truly worthy of the name Flying Swallow."
Li Xin let out a long sigh of relief.
Before the competition, he dared to say anything to boost his morale.
After the battle, the enemy was gone.
At this moment, when he saw his senior sister, who genuinely looked like she was going to keep her promise and didn't take it as a joke at all, he felt a little awkward.
After all, they are people of the martial arts world, and nowadays they value keeping their word.
If I really insist on doing it, my junior sister might just grit her teeth and keep helping me loosen my bones.
At twelve years old, in my previous life, I was just a primary school student.
In this life, if one matures early, it's about time to prepare for marriage.
I need to be careful in the future and never be so flirtatious again.
Otherwise, something terrible will happen.
After much effort, he managed to ramble on and on, making his senior sister so embarrassed that she ran away, thus letting the matter drop.
Li Xin then carefully recalled the events of his previous battle with Zhang Yuanhao.
"To be honest, without guns, I haven't really won many games."
If it's just a friendly spar, activating the [Divine Strike Technique] and unleashing the [Erlang Zhenjun's Divine Intent], the fist and sword techniques become incredibly varied and exquisite, allowing for complete suppression at will.
However, Zhang Yuanhao, who claims to be half-step into the realm of transformation, is not yet a true master of transformation and has not achieved the ability to spread his qi throughout his body.
If you really encounter an opponent who wields force with unparalleled skill, can listen to and neutralize force, and has a strong sense of danger.
My signature moves will be largely neutralized.
Often, it requires hand-to-hand combat and weapon parrying. That's when your weaknesses will be exposed.
What are the shortcomings?
It is clear.
Despite delivering a powerful, unobstructed palm strike to Zhang Yuanhao's abdomen, Shenque point, it failed to completely cripple his fighting ability.
in other words.
The opponent withstood the heavy blow simply because of his physical strength.
Zhang Yuanhao was already like that.
What about opponents who are physically stronger than him?
For example, the monk Jinzhong.
If a real fight broke out, he doubted whether the knife in his hand could actually cut through the opponent's body defenses.
Even if it's a cut, it's probably a minor injury.
Faced with an enemy of this level, what would be the outcome in a life-or-death confrontation?
If force cannot penetrate, can soft force?
Or, is it that only by activating one's internal energy and breaking through the opponent's defenses can one severely injure or even kill them?
Ultimately, it's because I'm not strong enough and my physique isn't robust enough.
If I could exert two or three thousand catties of force with every move I made, and then combine that with explosive power...
Even a steel ball can be smashed into a discus.
"Since the black letter has already been delivered to Wan Hua Lou and they have already made their boasts, we can't expect them to be very ethical."
It's quite possible that an unexpectedly powerful figure might appear.
"I must improve my physical condition as soon as possible. I thought that in this era where foreign guns dominate, training only attack power wouldn't be very useful."
As it turns out, they still didn't put themselves in his shoes.
Seeing only the magnificent military might and overwhelming artillery fire of later generations, they thought of using evasion as the primary means of combat.
However, they failed to carefully consider that, at this stage, single-target attack and defense can actually determine many things, even matters of life and death.
"This is not that era, nor is it a battlefield confrontation."
"Originally, we decided to postpone our plans, but now it seems that we really need to acquire the century-old Ganoderma lucidum that Yong An Tang may possess as soon as possible."
According to Yang Shoucheng, the owner behind Yong'an Hall doesn't seem to be a law-abiding person.
The old Ganoderma lucidum in his house couldn't be obtained in the open; it was definitely impossible to buy it through normal means.
"And what about my second uncle's family? I wonder how many of his century-old ginseng roots are left?"
What kind of expression would they have if they saw me carrying a large sum of money?
Thoughts were swirling in my mind.
Li Xin bid farewell to his master and prepared to take another dose of the herbal medicine to continue practicing his boxing skills.
Even without precious and rare medicines, the medicines provided by Huichuntang can still help one advance further.
Ten days should be enough for my physique to break through to level 20, and then I can visualize a divine intention.
……
"Master Li, please wait."
As I approached my home, an elderly man, dressed smartly and with neatly combed hair, approached me from the roadside and bowed respectfully with his hands clasped in front of him.
"What's wrong with the old man?"
Li Xin cupped his hands in greeting and asked.
He is mentally sharp and possesses psychic abilities, allowing him to sense a person's good or bad intentions with remarkable accuracy.
For example, from his perspective.
The old man emanated a pale red glow.
They are clearly not enemies.
So, what exactly is the purpose of blocking the road here?
"My young lady has long admired Master Li and is currently waiting for him in a private room at Ruyi Restaurant. Please take the time to meet her."
"Who is your young lady? If you admire her so much, why don't you pay her a visit in person?"
Li Xin was speechless.
These days, regardless of age, people always try to say something shocking or outrageous.
How can you, a young lady from a wealthy family, speak like that?
No, in other people's eyes, I'm just a twelve-year-old kid.
The old man's admiration might not have meant what he thought it was.
Perhaps it was out of admiration for Nezha's chivalry and martial arts skills.
"Ahem, I mean, if there's nothing important, then let's just disappear."
As you've probably heard, Mr. Li has just been in a life-or-death struggle and is slightly exhausted, just about to return to recuperate.
"Yes, yes, this old servant is being presumptuous. However, this matter concerns the secrecy surrounding the Wan Hua Lou... Miss came secretly because she was worried about causing any unforeseen complications."
It's her.
Remembering what Zhuang Hongxiu had mentioned about someone throwing stones into her yard at night to deliver a letter, she thought of how someone had once thrown stones into her yard.
Li Xin's heart stirred slightly.
"If that's the case, then let's meet."
