I'm not a fortune teller.

Chapter 173: Has the winner been decided?
No matter for the honor of his sect or for his master's wife, he could not allow himself to lose to a ten-year-old girl.

You can win in ten years, or in five years, but not now!
Thinking of this, Feng Yuqing's internal energy surged. The powerful internal force made the surrounding dust clearly visible, as if time had been frozen.

Even laymen were stunned by this scene, secretly marveling at the miraculous skills of the martial arts masters, while the experts in the field could not help but marvel in their hearts.

The Tianyi Sect is worthy of being a thousand-year-old sect. The inner strength of Chunyang Wuji is so pure that many masters who are over a hundred years old may not be able to cultivate this kind of inner strength. Feng Yuqing is only in his early twenties. Even if he has excellent talent, his skills are a bit exaggerated.

However, some people praised it while others secretly despised it.

The most representative among them is the direct descendant of the Sword Sect: Li Lan.

He could tell at a glance that Feng Yuqing was afraid.
He didn’t dare to compete with the opponent in swordsmanship, so he planned to defeat him by force from the beginning!

Yes, no matter how powerful that girl is, she is still young after all. Swordsmanship can rely on talent, but internal strength requires hard work.

“It’s stable now.”

While many spectators were amazed at Feng Yuqing's methods, they felt relieved in their hearts. Before, they had wondered if Feng Yuqing would give the young man such a hand, something might happen to him, but now it seems that this is not the case. When they thought about the safety of the money they invested, many people felt extremely calm while watching the game.

Many experts on the field also judged: "There is nothing interesting to watch now."

At this time, there were two military honors over fifty years old next to Minister Shen. Seeing them shaking their heads, Minister Shen couldn't help but ask, "Why do you say that?"

Although he had a lot of experience, he was still an amateur after all, and he seldom paid attention to the affairs of warriors, so he didn't understand why a group of people said there was nothing to watch before they even started?

"Oh, Lord Shen?" The two military honors were somewhat flattered to see Lord Shen coming in person to ask.

The status of the Nine Ministers is getting higher and higher, and has long been more important than those nobles. Moreover, Old Shen is the Shangshu with the best reputation. Even some old dukes are very respectful to him. Now that they take the initiative to come up and ask, they are naturally a little surprised.

Elder Shen smiled gently and asked, "Why do people around here think there's nothing to watch next? It wasn't like that before the fight just now."

"Mr. Shen, you don't know," a nine-foot-tall military hero quickly explained, "That Feng guy seemed to be courteous to the younger generation just now, but now he doesn't give me any chance at all. Logically speaking, there is a huge age gap. Not to mention letting the younger generation have a few moves, at least he shouldn't use his internal force to crush me right away. Even if that little girl is very talented and has practiced internal skills for a few years, how can she stand a chance against him?"

"Will you definitely win if you have high internal strength?" Elder Shen asked doubtfully, "I've heard that the Sword Sect is divided into the Qi Sect and the Sword Sect. Can't superb swordsmanship match the profound internal strength?"

"Eh?" The two military heroes were stunned and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"I didn't expect that you, Mr. Shen, also knew about the battle of sword energy."

A gentle voice came, and Shen Lao was startled. He turned around and laughed: "So you are the disciple of the Sword Sect."

"Li Lan greets Mr. Shen." The young handsome man smiled and saluted. His every move had an extraordinary temperament. A warrior's spirit and energy are inherently better than that of ordinary people. Li Lan was dressed like a scholar, and he looked elegant yet manly.

Old Shen nodded secretly. Compared to sorcerers who deal with evil spirits all day long, warriors reading books can actually better reflect their temperament. They are not like sorcerers who are gloomy all day long.

"I wonder if Mr. Li can help me solve this problem?"

"Mr. Shen, you are too polite. Just call me by my real name." Li Lan said with a smile, "There is indeed a dispute between sword and qi in my sect. We almost split up back then. Even to this day, there are still big disputes between the two factions. Neither of them is convinced. But there is one thing that both the sword sect and the qi sect agree on."

"what?"

"That is when the difference in internal strength is too great, even the most powerful swordsmanship is just for show."

"No chance at all?" Shen Yuan frowned. Zhang Rui and the people behind him dared to bet on this little girl. Theoretically, they should be quite capable. How could they be defeated so easily?

Li Lan smiled and picked up a stone. He used his internal force and put the stone down with his other hand. Under the action of the internal force, the stone fell very slowly, just like a leaf. "This is the biggest effect of releasing the internal force. Any object that comes close can be reduced by the internal force. The internal force released by the internal force master is like an enlarged body. It can not only slow down the speed of external objects, but also sense the direction in the first time."

"Think about it, Mr. Shen. No matter how fast your swordsmanship is, if you can't break it with your inner strength, you will slow down when you get close to me, and I will be able to detect your position immediately. If the gap is big enough, I can directly lock onto your sword with just my inner strength."

As soon as he finished speaking, the falling stone suddenly stopped in mid-air, and then turned into powder with a bang!
"The internal force can expand outward in a circular shape. In this case, the internal force has no lethality. But once the position is locked and you cannot break free in a short time, I can collect the internal force around you and concentrate it a little bit."

Such a simple and straightforward explanation made Mr. Shen completely understand what the other party wanted to say.

So that's how it is. No wonder everyone says the winner is decided.

No matter how fast Murong's sword is, or how good her swordsmanship is, even if she can make it impossible for the opponent to judge the path of the sword, as soon as she gets close, she will lose all her advantages.

How can you win if you can't get close?

"Moreover, internal strength masters can exert force faster and their five senses are more sensitive. When the gap is too big, it is definitely not something that can be made up by skills." Li Lan said seriously: "I heard the elders talk about this little girl's swordsmanship last time. Even the elders of my Sword Sect praised it so much. It must be amazing. That's why I came to take a look today. I didn't expect that Feng Yuqing really has no shame at all."

Although in the ring, for the sake of interests, the winner is the king, but in some situations, one still has to have some dignity. People from the same clan and school actually use this method to win, and they are not afraid of being laughed at by their peers.

But this also shows that this Feng guy doesn't have much potential.

A warrior must have a minimum of pride. If he judges that he cannot win with a sword before the fight even starts and chooses to use this method, it can be said that he is completely cowardly. Even if such a person is very talented, Li Lan believes that he will never achieve great things.

But it's true, the younger generation taught by Fu Yunji is about this level.

"Make your move." Feng Yuqing didn't even have the face to look at the other party. He just lowered his head and sighed.

He didn't want to, but he wasn't sure, and he really couldn't afford to lose this battle.

Just as I was thinking this, a cold voice suddenly came: "Master, are you worried about something recently? How can you look at the enemy when facing him?"

Feng Yuqing was stunned and looked up suddenly, because he clearly heard the voice right in front of him!
It was just ten feet away!
More importantly, his internal force circle was also within the range of ten feet. How did the other party get so close?
Why doesn't my internal energy react at all?
For a moment he was completely stunned. Not only him, but also the experts who could see the scene from the outside were shocked beyond words. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed it.
The little girl cut through the opponent's internal force circle with a sword and went in so easily!

"This is..." Mr. Shen was also stunned, and looked at Li Lan next to him with some surprise. His eyes clearly said: It seems to be different from what you said.
Li Lan herself was also confused and could not understand what was happening.

Theoretically speaking, with the little girl's internal strength, the tip of the sword would be stuck and unable to move as soon as it touched Feng Yuqing's internal force circle. As long as Feng Yuqing was willing, with a turn of his internal strength, the girl and the sword could be twisted into a knot!

But the girl's sword not only did not do that, it directly cut off Feng Yuqing's circle.

If it were an internal martial arts master, using the equally powerful internal force attached to the sword tip, he could indeed break through the opponent's circle. However, because the movement was too large, an internal martial arts master like Feng Yuqing could immediately react to the position, adjust his ability to fight back and buy time.

Or maybe the girl had extremely high internal energy and could have directly shattered Feng Yuqing's internal energy circle with one sword.

But neither happened. The girl's sword was like cutting a small incision in the internal force circle, and then slipped in!

Yes, in almost an instant, the internal force circle returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened, and even Feng Yuqing himself was unaware of it.

Without any reaction, the person approached him very close. When he looked up again, the sword was at his throat!
The entire training ground suddenly became eerily quiet, and everyone could hear each other's breathing.

No one expected that the situation that seemed one-sided just now would suddenly turn into this.

Even the referee didn't know what to say.

Does this determine the winner?
