Chapter 19 Mountain Bandits
"it is good!"

With a low shout, Miejue could no longer suppress her joy.

She moved closer like a ghost, no longer testing the waters, and struck Gu Shaoan's chest with her left palm using the "Golden Top Cotton Palm" technique!

Gu Shaoan quickly took a breath and swung his palm in response, parrying the move.

Two figures, one large and one small, simultaneously flipped their palms.

Zhou Zhiruo, who was standing to the side, could no longer see what the two were doing.

Zhao Jingxuan, Ding Minjun, and Bei Jinyi grew increasingly solemn as they looked at the document, their faces unconsciously revealing shock.

"In just one month, he has already cultivated the Golden Summit Cotton Palm to the 'beginner level' stage. What kind of talent is this?"

In front of the bamboo courtyard, after Gu Shaoan and Miejue exchanged more than a dozen blows, Miejue suddenly flicked her right hand with an orchid in front of Gu Shaoan's eyes, blocking his vision, while her left palm shot out like a venomous snake.

It is the sixth move of the Golden Top Cotton Palm, "Buddha's Lamp Guiding the Way".

However, this palm strike was not aimed at Gu Shaoan's heart, but at his shoulder.

This palm strike was swift, completely locking down the space around Gu Shaoan.

There is no way to avoid it!

Gu Shaoan lowered his body and suddenly struck out with one palm, fast and fierce, straight in, with an unstoppable momentum.

With his palms facing each other, Gu Shaoan used the residual force from his hands to swing backward a foot.

Extinction followed closely behind, its palm shadows accompanied by a whistling wind as it hurtled towards them.

Seeing this, Gu Shaoan pulled the wooden sword that he had stuck in the ground before he made his move out of the ground with his right hand.

As the wooden sword was drawn, a sharp glint flashed in Gu Shaoan's eyes!

Just as the palm wind reached his body, he advanced instead of retreating! His core waist and abdomen erupted with astonishing power, twisting and turning without the softness of the palm strike or the agility of his footwork, but with the pure and domineering power of the Sunset Sword Technique!
The fusion of energy, combined with the effect of Gu Shaoan's "Sword Drawing Like a Rainbow" skill, made Gu Shaoan's sword strike as fast as a startled swan.

But in the next instant, two fingers suddenly rose up and directly caught the wooden sword that was falling rapidly from the air.

She stopped Gu Shaoan's attack, but Miejue couldn't hide the stunned look on her face.

With two fingers holding the wooden sword, Miejue stared blankly at Gu Shaoan.

This single move alone is enough to demonstrate Gu Shaoan's mastery of the Sunset Sword Technique.

He has clearly entered the "first glimpse of the path" stage.

Abbess Miejue slowly withdrew her arm, her wide sleeves falling down.

Staring at Gu Shaoan, who was two steps away, panting and barely able to stand, his gaze was as deep as an abyss, and beneath his icy face, there was clearly a storm raging.

The boy's straight back after catching his breath, his hand gripping the sword as steady as a mountain, and his unusually bright eyes... all confirmed a fact that shook her to her core!

After a long silence, Miejue took a deep breath and smiled, saying, "In just one month, the Sunset Sword Technique has reached the power to melt gold, the Golden Summit Cotton Palm has mastered the essence of neutralization, and the Divine Dragon's Three Appearances have allowed you to advance and retreat freely. All three martial arts have reached the initial stage of understanding! Very good!"

Although the two fought for no more than a hundred breaths, how sharp was Extinction's insight?

Not to mention that the three martial arts techniques used by Gu Shaoan were all passed down by Miejue, so how could Miejue not see Gu Shaoan's mastery of these three martial arts techniques?

The news of Gu Shaoan's progress confirmed by Miejue's words added to the shock of Zhao Jingxuan, Ding Minjun, and Bei Jinyi.

Unlike Zhao Jingxuan and Bei Jinyi, who were shocked but delighted by Gu Shaoan's progress and talent, Gu Shaoan's progress and talent were different.

Ding Minjun didn't speak, but just looked at Gu Shaoan calmly, seemingly lost in thought.

Faced with the praise for his extinction, Gu Shaoan smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.

When Gu Shaoan faced the Extinction last time, his internal strength was just beginning to develop, and even when he used martial arts, he could only make a few moves at most.

Therefore, strictly speaking, this time, Gu Shaoan truly used martial arts to fight his enemy.

It's impossible not to feel nervous. Fortunately, the result was good.

Gu Shaoan immediately replied, "Thank you for the compliment, Master."

[Congratulations to the player for passing the apprenticeship assessment. Achievement points +200.]

Gu Shaoan glanced at the system information that popped up in front of him, and his expression changed slightly.

"As expected, completing just one assessment actually gives more achievement points than making a breakthrough in martial arts level."

Miejue smiled and said, "Although the progress is encouraging, remember not to be complacent."

"Disciple understands, Master, please rest assured."

Seeing that Miejue's eyes were smiling and her tone was gentle and kind, Zhou Zhiruo came back to her senses from her shock and couldn't help but imagine that one day she could also receive such recognition and praise from Miejue.

"By the way, a couple of days ago, a disciple stationed in Jiading Prefecture sent a message back to the mountain. The letter said that there have been bandits in Yushan City in Jiading Prefecture in recent months, and it is said that the leaders are also skilled in martial arts."

"Now that you have mastered the three martial arts I taught you to the 'beginner' level, it's a good time for you to come along and have a real battle, so that you can practice your courage and gain some experience."

Gu Shaoan never expected that he would be able to go down the mountain again so soon, after only a little over a month since he joined the Emei Sect.

"Everything is up to Master."

Extinction nodded and said, "In that case, we'll set the departure date for two days from now. Remember to pack your things. If you don't know what to bring, you can ask your other senior sisters."

Seeing that Miejue was preparing to return to the Bamboo Courtyard, Gu Shaoan hurriedly said, "Master, I have successfully cultivated the first level of the Emei Nine Yang Skill. Please teach me the subsequent internal energy cultivation methods."

Upon hearing Gu Shaoan's words, Miejue was initially taken aback, but considering Gu Shaoan's nearly month-long period of seclusion and arduous cultivation, she quickly calmed down.

"In that case, please follow me inside!"

After saying that, Miejue glanced at Zhao Jingxuan and the others and said, "Minjun, Zhiruo, come along too! If I encounter any trouble outside, I will need you to take care of Zhiruo and Shaoan."

Ding Minjun quickly replied, "This disciple obeys."

After Zhou Zhiruo responded, a look of joy appeared on her face.

Extinction waved his hand to signal, and the others tactfully dispersed.

However, after the group dispersed, Miejue's gaze lingered subtly on Ding Minjun's back.

A resolute glint flashed in his eyes.

The shifting thoughts in her mind made Miejue's face inexplicably gloomy, but when her gaze returned to Gu Shaoan, Miejue felt as if her eyes were being soaked in a clear spring, and her mood immediately improved a lot.

Even the gloom in my heart seemed to be mostly dispelled in that instant.

Leading Gu Shaoan into the bamboo courtyard, Miejue casually asked, "What level have you mastered in the first level of the Emei Nine Yang Skill?"

In response to the question of extinction, Gu Shaoan replied, "Before coming here, I had just mastered the Emei Nine Yang Skill."

It's not that Gu Shaoan doesn't trust Miejue.

However, comprehension is unpredictable. No matter how fast Gu Shaoan improves his martial arts skills, others will only think that Gu Shaoan has extraordinary comprehension and will not doubt anything else.

It can be measured by bone structure.

Gu Shaoan's innate talent was already of an excellent level, yet he managed to cultivate the first level of the "Emei Nine Yang Skill" to perfection within a month. This progress is probably comparable to those geniuses with unparalleled innate talent.

How can one not suspect extinction?
Unexpected complications are bound to arise at that time.

Everything in excess is ultimately harmful and not beneficial.

Rather than telling the truth, it's better to conceal some of it. This will save a lot of trouble and ensure that others never know Gu Shaoan's true strength.
