Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 55: Senior Brother Linghu, Admit Defeat

Before Linghu Shao stepped onto the stone platform, Yin Bailian called him over and gave him some instructions. He still remembered his teacher saying, "Ordinary people, after years of sword training, can only follow a routine and rigid set of moves. Sun Yanwan's moves are incredibly versatile and unconventional. Without countless years of hard work, exceptional talent, and guidance from a renowned teacher, it's impossible for him to pull off such a feat."

"However, Sun Yanwan also has a huge flaw. Perhaps it's because he's too talented in swordsmanship and has a capricious personality, but his internal strength is insufficient. You can use your internal strength to suppress him."

Linghu Shao didn't have any ill feelings towards Sun Yanwan, but ever since he heard this name, he felt like he was bombarded with it. Almost as soon as he opened his eyes, he could hear this name in his ears. After hearing it so many times, he couldn't help but feel a little irritated and just wanted some peace and quiet.

Now on the fighting stone platform, Linghu Shao thought to himself, "Master said that his internal energy is not good enough. Master's vision is definitely not wrong. I will use my internal energy to activate the Hunyuan Sword Technique and try to defeat him in one or two moves."

The Songyang Sect has been established for a hundred years and has been passed down for five generations. However, in the annual Seven Clans Martial Arts Competition, no seniority is counted, only the years of martial arts training are counted, so disciples of the third, fourth, and fifth generations will all meet.

Linghu Shao was originally a homeless child. When Yin Bailian was out on business, she met him doing "chivalrous deeds" for someone. He obviously had no special skills, but he insisted on doing chivalrous deeds. As a result, he was beaten black and blue by another group of beggars. Yin Bailian liked him very much at that time, so she took him back to the mountain and accepted him as her seventh apprentice.

Although Linghu Shao started learning martial arts a few years later, he made rapid progress and is already one of the strongest people in Group C.

Originally, if it weren't for the matter of Yang Jin Dan, Yin Bailian would have asked him to go to Group B for training, but since the first place in each group was rewarded with Yang Jin Dan, Yin Bailian could not escape the fate and told his disciple not to skip levels and win the first place in Group C first.

With this Yang Jin Dan, Linghu Shao can make up for the shortcomings of learning martial arts too late and having insufficient foundation, and catch up with the talented people in the same school.

When Sun Yanwan saw Linghu Shao taking up his stance, his heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself, "It's actually Hunyuan Sword Technique!"

"I don't know how long he's been practicing, but he must be stronger than me. After all, I've only just opened up six meridians, and I can only fully utilize three moves of the Hunyuan Sword Technique. The remaining moves are half-baked and definitely can't be used."

Sun Yanwan's mind worked very quickly, remembering the time when he fought against the flower-picking rapist and the quick-knife Tian San. He followed suit and used the Hunyuan sword technique with a pillar facing the sky. However, unlike when he fought against Gao Yuan, he did not use a light touch. Instead, he used internal force to vibrate, as if he was going all out.

Linghu Shao was slightly surprised and thought to himself, "So he's also learning the Hunyuan Sword Technique. I was just wondering what a Grandmaster's disciple is like."

The Hunyuan Sword Technique uses Qi to control the sword. Each move and each style has a corresponding breathing method and the trick of circulating internal energy. The stronger the internal energy, the more unstoppable and unmatched the swordsmanship. The power is extremely great, and the consumption of internal energy is also extremely huge. When facing the enemy, one often goes all out, and the victory or defeat is decided within a few moves.

Seeing that Sun Yanwan also used the Hunyuan sword technique, Linghu Shao was just what he wanted. He immediately poured his internal energy into the sword, and with a white rainbow sweeping across the ground, he attacked first.

Sun Yanwan kept wielding the sword and vibrating it, accumulating great momentum, but his internal strength was insufficient, and the several meridians used in this move were not fully opened up. It was just a show, and had no power to defeat the enemy, and he was not trying to defeat the enemy.

When Linghu Shao's long sword came with the sound of wind and thunder, he swung his sword to block it, and the two swords collided, and the Jingchan Sword flew into the air.

Sun Yanwan's sword was just a show of strength, and Linghu Shao was caught off guard. Like Tian San with a quick knife, he used the wrong strength, but his swordsmanship and martial arts were much stronger than Tian San with a quick knife. When he was about to withdraw his sword and change his moves, Sun Yanwan had already crashed into Linghu Shao's arms and used a wrestling move.

In his previous life, he had even dated a female equestrian coach, so naturally he would not miss a female fitness coach. However, the female coach he was pursuing was not specialized in fitness, but was a wrestling trainer. Not long after Sun Yanwan was with her, she went from training in the training room to practicing in a boutique hotel, and actually learned some wrestling skills.

That was also Sun Yanwan’s sixth girlfriend. The two broke up peacefully a week later.

At the time, Sun Yanwan felt that her energy was simply failing her. Eighteen times a week, even going to the bathroom had to be timed. The most common thing she heard wasn't sweet talk, but rather, "Damn it, why aren't you hard again?"

Who can be hard all day long?
Linghu Shao never expected that Sun Yanwan would "abandon the sword" in the first move and start wrestling with him. Although he was two or three years older than him, he had practiced internal swordsmanship hard after entering the martial arts world, and had not put much effort into the Golden Tendon and Jade Bone Fist. In terms of pure strength, he was not as good as Sun Yanwan, who was a few years younger than him. He was pressed on the stone platform, unable to struggle, and desperately slapped the stone platform with his hands.

Sun Yanwan shouted, "Senior Brother Linghu, admit defeat."

Linghu Shao shouted angrily, "You're cheating! How can a duel be held like this? Let's fight again."

Sun Yanwan said, "How can you be so honest while traveling the martial arts world? If it weren't for the duel with fellow disciples, you would have died. Hurry up and admit defeat."

Linghu Shao struggled for a while, but still couldn't push Sun Yanwan away. He could only shout in anger: "I give up."

Sun Yanwan finally let him up. Linghu Shao looked embarrassed and whispered, "Tonight, I want to compete with you again."

Sun Yanwan shook her head and said, "You've already lost. I still have a duel to fight with. How can I waste my energy on you?"

Although Linghu Shao was angry, it would be even more embarrassing to continue pestering her. He pointed at Sun Yanwan several times but couldn't find any words to say to get him going. He picked up his sword in anger and jumped off the stone platform.

Sun Yanwan secretly felt lucky. His move was mainly to catch Linghu Shao off guard. Linghu Shao did not expect him to drop his sword, and he did not know the wrestling technique, which gave him the advantage. If there was a next time, Linghu Shao would definitely not let him get close to him. Even if he was knocked down, he would quickly roll over to prevent him from suppressing him.

The opponent has practiced martial arts for a few more years, is a few years older, and has mastered the Hunyuan sword technique even better. Sun Yanwan really has no other choice. As long as he wins, why bother about these things?
Yin Bailian was on the top floor of Tiandu Tower, witnessing this scene. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "This kid is quite cunning."

Although his disciple lost, he did not take it seriously. After all, they were on the stone platform and were going to compete in martial arts. Linghu Shao was careless and did not guard against it, and Sun Yanwan was cunning, so the winner was clear.

Although Sun Yanwan won, those who watched the competition were somewhat skeptical, feeling that this was not the temperament of a disciple directly taught by a grandmaster.

Despite this, Sun Yanwan won three games in a row, defeating his opponent with one move in each game. This has attracted the attention of countless people. There were even vendors at the conference who updated information, clearly analyzing his "advantages" and "disadvantages", and selling them outside the venue.

Sun Yanwan returned to the Spirit Sword Tower and heard the eldest brother say, "Don't use this method tomorrow."

"This method has too many flaws. As long as the opponent has a hand or a foot, or even an elbow that can move, what can they do to hit your vital points?"

Sun Yanwan was immediately filled with awe. There was no real acupoint pressing skill on Earth. It was said to exist, but no one had ever seen it. Once someone was restrained by wrestling, there was no way to escape. However, in this world, there was real acupoint pressing skill. This kind of close combat skill became extremely dangerous.

Linghu Shao got off the stone platform, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. He cried out: "Why didn't I press his acupoints?" When he remembered it now, it was too late, and he felt extremely annoyed.
