In Emei, start by obtaining golden attributes.

Chapter 15 An Immortal Touches My Head

Gu Shaoan, who caught the bamboo sword, did not refuse. He closed his eyes and reviewed it for a moment before beginning to wield the bamboo sword in his hand according to the "Sunset Sword Technique" he had memorized.

During the process, Gu Shaoan also mobilized the true qi in his dantian and circulated it according to the mental formula of the Sunset Sword Technique.

However, the "Sunset Sword Technique" is already more complex and obscure than the "Willow Catkin Sword Technique" that Gu Shaoan learned last time. Not to mention that this time Gu Shaoan also needs to use the sword moves while maintaining the circulation of the mental incantation, which naturally increases the difficulty.

This also resulted in Gu Shaoan's sword strikes being extremely slow.

Coupled with Gu Shaoan's youthful face, it truly exemplifies what it means for a child to learn swordsmanship—his progress is extremely slow.

In Extinction's eyes, although Gu Shaoan's sword speed was slow and his movements were not standard or sharp enough, his sword moves did indeed belong to the "Sunset Sword Technique".

After using all thirty-six sword moves, Miejue was certain that Gu Shaoan had indeed memorized all the contents of the "Sunset Sword Technique".

However, unlike the last time Gu Shaoan learned the Willow Catkin Sword Technique, he mastered it to a high level after only a few tries.

This time, Gu Shaoan stopped practicing the Sunset Sword Technique after doing so once, and did not trigger the [Enlightenment] effect on the first try.

Gu Shaoan was not surprised, and Miejue, who was standing to the side, also thought it made perfect sense.

After all, the Sunset Sword Technique is far superior to the Willow Catkin Sword Technique, and it cannot be mastered in a short period of time.

If Gu Shaoan could achieve the same level of mastery in any sword technique as he did in the "Willow Catkin Sword Technique," gaining profound insights on his very first attempt, he would be able to truly understand and master it.

Then the extinction would begin to doubt what exactly this thing standing in front of it was.

Seeing that Gu Shaoan had stopped, Miejue spoke again: "Remember, this sword technique requires the unity of intention, strength, and qi to unleash its full power."

"Furthermore, Grandmaster Guo Xiang created this sword technique by observing the sunset at dusk. You can set the time for practicing the Sunset Sword Technique at sunset, which may help your cultivation."

Gu Shaoan nodded: "This disciple understands."

After exchanging positions with Gu Shaoan again, Miejue said, "You have already mastered the Emei Nine Yang Skill in internal energy cultivation, and you also have the Willow Catkin Sword Technique and this Sunset Sword Technique in swordsmanship. What you lack now is hand skills and a lightness skill."

"This palm technique is called the Golden Summit Cotton Palm, the best of our Emei palm techniques. Watch closely."

As soon as she finished speaking, Miejue raised both hands and her palms flew. After several moves, Miejue suddenly drew an arc with her left palm as if pushing away the clouds, while her right palm was hidden under her ribs, gathering power. Suddenly, she struck out with the speed of an arrow!

"The first move, Flowing Clouds Obscuring the Moon, Qi flows through Taiyin, passes through Yunmen, gathers sharp strength at the edge of the palm, and enters the palm through the Chize acupoint, the force like a silver needle piercing through the nail!"

Then, Miejue turned around, his palms crossed and turned into ten afterimages, like cold mist blocking the way, and suddenly came together and shot out.

"The second move: Qi surges from Yongquan point, ascends to Yufu point, enters Shoujue and Laogong points, and strikes the enemy's Tanzhong point in a straight line! The palm strike is like an ice river shattering!"

After passing on all nine palm techniques and even the mental techniques and incantations to Gu Shaoan, Miejue did not let Gu Shaoan practice them this time. Instead, she had Gu Shaoan attack her with a bamboo sword.

Understanding the meaning of "extinction," Gu Shaoan cupped his hands and said, "This disciple has offended you."

After speaking, Gu Shaoan strode forward, the green bamboo in his hand cutting through the air.

As the bamboo sword pierced towards the extinction, the tip of the sword trembled like floating cotton, drifting erratically.

It is the eighth move in the "Willow Catkin Sword Technique", "Catkin Falling on the Cold River".

Gu Shaoan's sword speed was very fast. In Miejue's opinion, even those disciples who had joined Emei for several years could not match Gu Shaoan's sword speed at this moment.

However, Miejue could clearly sense that Gu Shaoan did not use his internal energy when he made his move.

In Miejue's eyes, Gu Shaoan's actions were clearly out of concern that he might hurt himself.

Extinction couldn't help but chuckle at this.

Although her actions were laughable, her respect for her teacher pleased Miejue even more.

In an instant, one end of the green bamboo in Gu Shaoan's hand was already three feet in front of Miejue, and it looked like it would pierce her in the next instant. But Miejue, whose hands were behind her back, moved. Miejue suddenly raised both palms, and her left palm lightly touched Gu Shaoan's bamboo sword.

Despite the seemingly casual parry, Gu Shaoan clearly felt layers of soft, yielding energy flowing into his hand through the bamboo sword in three streams, causing his right hand, which was holding the sword, to tremble involuntarily.

At the same time, as he raised his hand to deflect the bamboo sword, Miejue's right palm, hidden under his ribs, struck out instantly, aiming at Gu Shaoan's forehead.

Extinction's movements were not fast, and she didn't even use her internal energy. Gu Shaoan could clearly see all of Extinction's movements.

But the timing of their attack was perfect.

It was precisely at this moment that Gu Shaoan's sword strike had exhausted its power, leaving him with no time to recover.

Therefore, even though Gu Shaoan could see Miejue's movements clearly, he was helpless and could only watch as Miejue's right palm kept approaching his forehead.

It stopped an inch in front of his forehead.

"Come again."

After withdrawing her hand, Miejue chuckled and spoke.

Gu Shaoan composed himself, nodded, and raised his bamboo sword once more.

But every time Gu Shaoan made a sword move, Miejue's palms would be like the wind in the pines of a thousand valleys, and no matter how Gu Shaoan attacked, Miejue would block it with ease.

Gradually, as the two exchanged blows, Gu Shaoan's swordplay also began to change. When he struck, his sword was sometimes feinting and sometimes real, using five parts of his full strength and saving the other five.

It now possesses a more balanced approach to both offense and defense, with the sword moving like willow catkins.

This change prompted Miejue to nod in approval.

In martial arts, the worst thing to do when facing an enemy is to gamble everything.

Once a move is broken, the enemy may take advantage of the moment before the energy is fully recovered and launch an attack, which is unwise.

One should be able to make moves at will, and at the same time, be able to withdraw or change moves, so as to be able to adapt to changing circumstances.

Originally, Miejue had planned to point out Gu Shaoan's problem later, but she didn't expect Gu Shaoan to react so quickly and adjust himself.

Truly extraordinary.

Which teacher doesn't like outstanding students? Especially when those students are their own.

The more Miejue looked at Shaoan, the more satisfied she became.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Miejue said, "Next is the ninth move of the Golden Top Cotton Palm, 'The Immortal Touches My Head,' watch carefully."

As soon as he finished speaking, the palm strike suddenly changed. His palms flew up and down, and without using any internal force, he created a sky full of palm shadows that enveloped Gu Shaoan.

No matter how Gu Shaoan reacted, Miejue's hand always managed to appear one step ahead of him on the top of his head.

Even knowing that extinction wouldn't harm them.

But feeling the cold wind blowing from his forehead and head, Gu Shaoan's back was unconsciously soaked with sweat.

Gu Shaoan had never imagined that there could be such ruthless martial arts in the world.

What immortal touched my head? It was clearly a palm strike that shattered the heavens.

I'll smash your head to pieces.
