Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 60 Is this what it means to cultivate both the inner and outer self? (Seeking monthly tickets)
Sun Yanwan did not play for the next three days.

Because two pairs of Group A had fought fiercely for a whole day without a winner, the competition between Group B and Group C had to be postponed.

In fact, there are only a few hundred people in the Songyang Sect, but not every disciple of the Songyang Sect took to the battlefield. Without this protracted battle, it would not have lasted more than ten days.

If everyone was like Sun Yanwan, who could resolve the battle with just one move, the competition would probably be over in two or three days.

It was not until the sixth day of the Seven Clans Martial Arts Competition that Sun Yanwan's name was called out again. This time, his opponent was Tang Suijing, a disciple of Dazhu Peak, who was also one of the few seventh-grade masters in the Bing group.

Even within the Songyang Sect, many disciples barely reach the eighth rank within five years of initiation. To be promoted to the eighth rank is already considered outstanding, highly regarded by the master. Linghu Shao and Ding Fenxiu both reached this level. However, the former entered the martial arts world too late, while the latter was too young. In reality, both possess the talent to advance even further.

There are no more than thirty Songyang disciples who can be promoted to the seventh rank within five years of entering the sect, including three, four, and five generations. Among them, twenty-seven or twenty-eight people all participated in the competition of Group B.

Tang broken mirrors are extremely rare, with only two or three exceptions.

Guanyun Temple on Dazhu Peak is the Taoist temple of Li Daozi, the fourth of the Seven Friends of Songyang. He has six disciples, but none of them are talented. The one with the highest martial arts skills is only at the fourth level of martial arts, and the others are even worse. However, there are several good talents among Li Daozi's disciples, and Tang Suijing is one of them.

Like Zhang Qingxi, Sun Yanwan, Linghu Shao, Ding Fenxiu and others, he was taught the Ziwu Sutra when he first entered the sect, and in the third year he was taught the Great Songyang Divine Sword and the Black Snake Qi Refining Technique. He was famous for his hard work, and his swordsmanship was even better than that of his junior uncle Linghu Shao.

The Xuan Snake Qi Refining Technique is similar to the Xuan Yang Jue that Zhang Yuanqiao once practiced. They are both the prerequisites for practicing superior internal skills. After mastering this technique, one will be able to practice the Songyang School's most superior Five Classics and Thirteen Wonders.

If the disciples of Songyang Sect are not very talented, the Black Snake Qi Refining and the Black Yang Art are the most advanced internal skills they can learn, and there is no further.

After Sun Yanwan came on stage, she felt that this opponent was different from before. The two sides exchanged greetings without any greetings and started fighting directly.

Tang Suijing unfolded the Great Songyang Divine Sword, the sword flashed, and every move and every style was solemn and dignified, showing the temperament of a descendant of a famous sect.

Sun Yanwan used the Jingchan Sword, but after a few moves, he was at a disadvantage and felt restricted everywhere.

After all, he had only learned martial arts for less than a year, and his internal strength was far less solid than Tang Suijing's. His swordsmanship also had flaws. He definitely couldn't use the Demon-Slaying Sword Technique, and he only had three moves in the Hunyuan Sword Technique. The rest of the moves were either half-baked or completely unusable. With just basic swordsmanship, he definitely wouldn't last more than twenty moves.

Sun Yanwan deflected Tang Suijing's Cuifeng Upside-Down Move and thought to himself, "If it were a few days ago, I would have lost without a doubt. But now that I've mastered the Immortal Hammer and tempered three more meridians to minor success, things are different. I'm not without a chance of winning."

"The Great Songyang Divine Sword is the most magnificent and powerful, but it doesn't use Qi to control the sword, and it doesn't have the domineering power of the Hunyuan Sword Technique. If I can force him to fight me head-on, I can at least gain an advantage."

"Then the opportunity has arrived..."

Tang Suijing was actually quite worried. After all, Sun Yanwan was too famous. He was the descendant of a contemporary grandmaster and had recently made a big splash at the Seven Clans Martial Arts Competition. Not only did he beat Jiang Yan's beloved disciple Ding Fenxiu to tears, but even when he met a figure like Linghu Shao, a disciple of Yin Bailian, he defeated him with one move.

While these two were somewhat lucky, Sun Yanwan's other duels, where he used the Immortal Hammer, had seen him win several matches in a row with a single move. This was truly true kung fu. He had also consulted his master, and Li Daozi had instructed his disciple, telling him that Sun Yanwan's boxing and kicking techniques were an evolution of the sect's Golden Tendon and Jade Bone Fist. The Golden Tendon and Jade Bone Fist wasn't focused on attacking, but rather on strengthening the foundation, but this other boxing style was all about striking and killing, and was extremely domineering, but ultimately it was still the sect's martial arts, upright and honorable.

Tell him not to take the enemy's attack lightly, avoid its sharp edge in the morning and attack it when it retreats in the evening!
And pointed out several ways to crack it.

Therefore, when Tang Suijing took action, he always left room for maneuver and was prepared to respond accordingly.

Sun Yanwan didn't know that Tang Suijing had several ways to break his Dragon Elephant Prajna, and he had no intention of using this trick at all.

In Sun Yanwan's mind, all martial arts have applicable scenarios. Why should they be used forcibly when they are inappropriate?

The long swords of both sides collided again, and Sun Yanwan's eyes lit up. He finally found a flaw in his opponent. The true energy in his body circulated continuously, and when the true energy accumulated to the peak, he used a Hunyuan sword technique.

He only mastered three moves of Hunyuan Sword Technique, but never used them properly once. He only mastered the move of "One Pillar Facing the Sky" halfway because the meridians on it were not connected. But this time, he used the complete move - "Long Rainbow Piercing the Sun"!
Tang Suijing was catching his breath and preparing to launch the next move, but he didn't expect Sun Yanwan's counterattack to be so fast?
He hurriedly used the move "Farewell and Departure" to try to deflect Sun Yanwan's move, but when he was halfway through with the sword, he secretly said to himself that it was not good, because he had not been able to recover his breath in time, and the power of this move was greatly reduced.

The two swords clashed once more, and Tang Suijing's palm trembled. He felt the incredible force of Sun Yanwan's strike, and he couldn't even hold his sword, and was knocked away by Sun Yanwan's blow. Sun Yanwan hadn't expected his strike to be so successful. If it were a martial arts battle, he could have taken Tang Suijing's life with a single strike. But this was just a duel between fellow disciples, so he stepped back, clasped his hands, and said, "Thank you."

Tang Suijing was horrified, and after a long moment, he finally said, "Is this what it means to cultivate both inner and outer strength?"

After all, he was also an outstanding disciple of the Songyang School. After losing, he immediately realized that the opponent's internal strength could not be stronger than his own. He did not have time to recover, so Sun Yanwan naturally had no time to recover either. In that sword strike just now, Sun Yanwan did not attach much internal strength at all. It was purely because of his strong arm strength that he used brute force to knock his own sword down.

Sun Yanwan smiled brightly and said, "Indeed, I have put some effort into the Golden Tendon and Jade Bone Fist."

Tang Suijing picked up the sword, bowed and left the stage, having made up his mind to learn the Golden Tendon and Jade Bone Fist.

As soon as Sun Yanwan stepped down from the stone platform, a little Taoist boy called out to him, saying, "Grandmaster, please ask Junior Uncle to come over."

Sun Yanwan followed the little Taoist boy and went up to Tiandu Tower. Not only Yin Bailian was there, but also the eldest brother Zhang Qingxi, and two senior sisters, Wei Yingxiao and Madam Wei, and Jiang Yan, a disciple of Yunzhongjun Gongsun Fu, were all there.

Generally speaking, one or two of the Seven Clans Martial Arts Competition would be enough to host it, and not all seven would be present. Today's competition was hosted by Yin Bailian and Jiang Yan. Although Madam Wei was in charge of the early affairs, she did not show up after the competition started.

Now, this Senior Sister Wei was also wearing a light goose yellow Taoist robe and a small black crown. Her temperament was different from the one she had seen a few days ago. In the eyes of a time traveler like Sun Yanwan, the uniform was a complete temptation.

The highest level in the Xuanhuang Dao lineage is the Heavenly Master, who wears a yellow robe and a black crown. Wei Yingxiao is also a Heavenly Master, but in the Xuanhuang Dao lineage, female Heavenly Masters have a different title, called Madam, so people in the martial arts world call her Madam Wei, but it does not mean that she has been married.
