I am Zhao Zhijing, a poor Taoist priest, and I have disciples all over the world.

Chapter 44 Yang Guo Dominates the Novice Village

Zhao Zhijing was not far away, so he could hear clearly what Shen Zhifan said as he taught his disciple.

"Frustration education is outdated, man."

Seeing the disciple's red-faced embarrassment, Zhao Zhijing wanted to give him some advice, but since the master was teaching his disciple, if he interfered, he would be suspected of adding fuel to the fire by relying on his status as the eldest brother.

More importantly, if he really told it, Shen Zhifan might vent his anger on this disciple afterwards, which would only make the situation worse.

The competition ended here, and Yang Guo didn't even have time to breathe.

Then someone else wanted to go up on stage to seek advice, but this time he brought weapons with him.

"You know you can't beat our junior brother in palm techniques, so you want to compete with him in sword techniques?"

Liu Qingxing is a smart guy who is always harsh with his words. He complements Lu Qingdu who only loves to fight. They are like the left and right gods among their fellow apprentices.

At this time, he exchanged glances with his fellow apprentices and said with some gloating: "You really hit a wall!"

Seeing this, Yang Guo also went to get a long sword. He was already handsome and now with the sword in his hand, the young man already looked like a chivalrous man.

"Brother, please!"

Yang Guo joined the sect late, and he had to call everyone "senior brother" when he met them. However, in the past six months, he had been living with Zhao Zhijing day and night, and he imitated his master's style in every move, which made him seem more steady.

"Junior Brother Yang, please give me some advice!"

The disciple who comes on stage performs the move “spreading the sail and raising the oar”, followed by “no oars”, and finally “small oar and light boat”.

The three moves were quick and rapid, but the moves were distinct and not at all hasty. It was obvious that he had achieved a certain level of accomplishment in Quanzhen swordsmanship.

The first few moves of Quanzhen swordsmanship are all derived from a poem called "Tan Po Huan Xi Sha" from the Tang Dynasty.

"At Wuligantou, the wind is about to calm down. The strong wind makes the boat feel light when I lift the oars. The oars are not used, so I stop rowing and the boat is moving."

The artistic conception of the lyrics is calm and light, turning into a natural sound.

When Zhao Zhijing taught sword techniques, he quoted this poem and also said, "One sword technique may not be used exactly by a hundred people."

"These three moves require you to be calm and take your time, and take advantage of the situation. The three moves can also be turned into one."

Seeing that the opponent's sword moves were very skilled, and the angles and strength required by the sword techniques were almost exactly the same, Yang Guo immediately took a step back and did not accept the move.

In the brief period of time when the distance was widened, taking advantage of the gap when the opponent was retracting his moves, Yang Guo also used the move of "Raising the Sail and Raising the Oars" to launch a counterattack.

However, he did not use his full sword move, and waited for the opponent to return his sword to block. Before the two swords met, he attacked again with "Soft Oars".

The opponent is also considered to be a good swordsman among the fourth generation disciples and has rich combat experience. He turned the hilt of the sword upside down and danced the long sword in front of his chest, trying to reverse the situation and make plans.

Unexpectedly, Yang Guo's second move was still a feint. He found the right moment and used "Small Paddle Boat" to make a feint in the gap between the sword flowers, then he put away the sword and turned around.

These four generations of disciples had already used the same three moves quite well, but it was a pity that they met Yang Guo.

"Junior Brother Yang's swordsmanship is superb. I am the one who lost."

"I dare not. Thank you very much, Senior Brother, for letting me!"

Zhao Zhijing couldn't help but sigh. Although he didn't want to admit it, talent was sometimes the biggest difference between people.

This thing is like He Chenguang’s sniper rifle, not everyone can use it!
Seeing Yang Guo win two games effortlessly, Liu Qingxing and other fellow disciples were happy for him. Although they couldn't show it openly, they all secretly gave him a thumbs up.

The fourth-generation disciple was Cui Zhifang's apprentice. After being defeated, he returned to the formation. Cui Zhifang saw that he was skilled in swordsmanship and although he was no match for Yang Guo, he did not scold him.

However, he just couldn't do it like Zhao Zhijing did to praise him in person. A slight nod was considered as recognition of the disciple.

"Junior Brother Yang has only been a disciple for half a year, but his skills have surpassed those of us untalented disciples." "Brother, you are overestimating yourself. I would like to ask Junior Brother Yang to teach me some sword skills."

The person who spoke at this time was Pi Qingxuan, the fourth-generation disciple of Chen Zhiquan, whom Zhao Zhijing met at the gate of Chongyang Palace that day.

Chen Zhiquan's broken arm almost meant that his martial arts skills were completely useless. Although his disciples would not seek another master, they had to be taught by the other three generations of disciples.

Just like Tan Chuduan who was killed by Ouyang Feng, his disciples were taught by other members of the Quanzhen Seven.

This time, Pi Qingxuan and Ji Qingxu belonged to Shen Zhifan.

Shen Zhifan was extremely utilitarian. As his martial arts skills were not outstanding among the three generations of disciples, he wanted to instigate Zhao Zhijing to take the position so that he could rise to prominence in the future.

There was something thorny in Pi Qingxuan's words at this time. This was Shen Zhifan's secret instruction. He wanted to stir up some conflicts and then create momentum to pressure others, so as to encourage Zhao Zhijing to compete for the position of the third generation chief disciple.

Because Chen Zhiquan was Liu Chuxuan's disciple, and most of Liu Chuxuan's lineage stood on Qiu Chuji's side, which meant they hoped that Zhen Zhibing would take the position.

Now that Liu Chuxuan's disciple has stepped forward, the meaning is self-evident.

Of course, Pi Qingxuan would not hold back. If he could beat Yang Guo down and then mock him in return, the effect would only be better.

Half a year ago, Guo Jing defeated the Taoist priests in Mount Zhongnan. There were many people in Chongyang Palace who were angry with Yang Guo and wanted to make fun of him.

"Junior brother, I dare not. I will also use the sword technique to ask Senior Brother Pi for guidance!"

Yang Guo knew very well that people in Chongyang Palace who were hoping for his failure were watching him openly and secretly. In addition, because of the incident with Guan Man'er's siblings, he thought of Guo Jing and Huang Rong.

The young man's arrogance has made him determined to make a splash in this competition and show it to everyone.

Only then can I feel that the careful cultivation of my mentor and the care and love of my seniors are worthwhile.

Hearing that Yang Guo was also going to use a knife, Pi Qingxuan also became angry, thinking that this kid was really arrogant.

No matter how talented you are, it is not easy to master the basic sword and palm techniques within half a year.

Do you dare to use a knife?
Both sides had their own concerns, and the atmosphere on the field became increasingly tense.

Zhao Zhijing was not worried about Yang Guo. He was in charge of the Tiangang Beidou formation in the Quanzhen Sect and had a lot of contact with disciples from other sects.

As long as they don't compare internal strength but simply compete in moves, none of the four generations of disciples can guarantee victory over Yang Guo.

And if the situation really comes to the point where a competition of internal skills is necessary, Zhao Zhijing will be on the sidelines and can call a halt at any time.

Who is Yang Guo? He only learned martial arts for two years in the Ancient Tomb Sect, but he was able to fight against Zhao Zhijing and Zhen Zhibing, the two strongest disciples of the third generation of Quanzhen Sect.

It seems that you still don’t understand the value of the word genius!
"Brother Zhao, Qingxuan is a disciple of Junior Brother Chen Zhiquan under Senior Brother Liu. He is just here to discipline him."

"After all, he is not a disciple of our lineage. If I have offended you, please forgive me, Senior Brother."

Shen Zhifan gave up Pi Qingxuan, but he was still trying to act like a good person in front of Zhao Zhijing.

But before he could finish his words, Zhao Zhijing interrupted calmly, "What are you talking about, Junior Brother?"

"If there is any offense, it is mostly caused by my brother."

"Ok?"

Before Shen Zhifan could react, the winner had already been decided on the field.

"Brother Pi, thank you for letting me!"
