Chapter 315 Flawless in every aspect

foot of the mountain.

After glancing at the mountaintop that seemed to float in the clouds, Duan Tianya turned back and said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect that Gu Shaoan's strength would be this great. He was able to exchange several blows with my godfather without being defeated."

Zhu Wushi took a deep breath and said, "This boy is indeed very strong. If it were a real life-or-death battle, I would not be confident that I could defeat him."

Duan Tianya asked in astonishment, "Even my godfather isn't confident of winning?"

Among Zhu Wushi's adopted sons and daughters, Duan Tianya is the only one who has seen Zhu Wushi fight against a martial artist who has reached the Qi Condensation Realm.

One is the Traceless Gentleman.

The other one was his half-master, the head of the Yagyu family on the island of Japan, and the strongest person on the island, Yagyu Tajima-no-kami.

But whether facing the Unmarked Prince or Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami, Zhu Wushi defeated them in just five moves.

Duan Tianya had even heard Yagyu Tajima no Kami say that even ten years ago, Zhu Wushi's strength was enough to make him the number one person below the Celestial Realm.

The two sides had not yet determined a winner in their previous exchange, and Duan Tianya assumed that Zhu Wushi had held back.

But no one expected that Zhu Wushi would have such a high opinion of Gu Shaoan.

As if guessing what Duan Tianya was thinking, Zhu Wushi said in a deep voice: "Martial artists do not have unlimited energy, so every martial artist has their own specialty, whether it is lightness skill, internal strength, or their own level of mastery of martial arts."

"Therefore, when top-level fighters fight, they often use their own strengths to attack the opponent's weaknesses, maximizing their own advantages as much as possible."

"Take Young Master Wuhen, for example. In terms of close combat skills, he is only average among first-class masters. However, his mastery of the 'Scattered Flowers and Gold Coins' lightness skill is unparalleled. If we use his lightness skill in combination with his hidden weapon skills to fight, it would take dozens of moves before I could defeat him."

"But Gu Shaoan is different. In our exchange just now, I discovered that his lightness skill, his mastery of martial arts, and his skill level are all astonishing."

“Apart from his skill being inferior to mine, he surpasses me in every other aspect.”

"What's even more remarkable is that he has mastered the skill of 'making light things seem heavy,' and is able to mobilize the power of heaven and earth."

"Even a top-tier master like the Demon Master Pang Ban, who is over a hundred years old, would find it difficult to achieve such perfection, being flawless in every aspect and without any weaknesses."

Thinking of the strength Gu Shaoan had displayed before, Zhu Wushi couldn't help but sigh, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes today, I would hardly believe that there is someone in the world with such talent, who is only twenty years old and has such a profound foundation."

"No wonder even someone like Pang Ban was no match for him."

As he spoke, the look of apprehension in Zhu Wushi's eyes grew even stronger.

In Zhu Wushi's eyes, Gu Shaoan's strength was already no weaker than his at his age.

If Gu Shaoan were given a few more years or ten years, reaching the Celestial Realm would be almost a certainty.

Furthermore, given Gu Shaoan's own accumulated experience and foundation, once he enters the Celestial Realm, his strength will inevitably surpass that of ordinary Celestial Realm experts.

If such a person cannot be used by him, he will surely become the second Zhang Sanfeng.

at the same time.

East Bamboo Grove.

Su Xin was lying on a bamboo rocking chair with her eyes gently closed.

Gu Santong sat beside Su Xin, gently rocking the bamboo chair with one hand, while his internal energy surged, creating wisps of wind that brushed against Su Xin's cheek.

Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the bamboo leaves, dappling the two of them.

Gu Santong lowered his gaze, looking at Su Xin lying on the bamboo chair.

Although the disguise made Su Xin's appearance look particularly ordinary at this moment.

But when his gaze fell on Su Xin, Gu Santong's eyes were still extremely gentle.

A moment later, Gu Santong coughed lightly, a somewhat obsequious smile spreading across his face.

"Suxin, how about we try having another child sometime?"

Although Gu Santong and Su Xin now have a child.

But without personally experiencing the feeling of raising his own child little by little, Gu Santong always felt that something was missing between him and Su Xin.
Upon hearing the sound, Su Xin slowly opened her eyes.

When her gaze fell on Gu Santong, her eyes were also extremely gentle.

However, just as Su Xin was about to respond, she seemed to sense something and suddenly glanced behind Gu Santong.

Immediately afterwards, Su Xin let out a soft cry, then sprang up from the bamboo chair and turned to run quickly into the house.

Seeing Su Xin's actions, Gu Santong seemed to have a bad feeling.

Gu Santong turned around stiffly and mechanically, and when he saw Gu Shaoan covering one ear with his right hand and keeping one eye open, his body trembled.

A few breaths later, Gu Santong spoke slowly, "You heard everything just now?"

After a moment's thought, Gu Shaoan sighed and said with a hint of helplessness, "If I could, I would rather not have heard it."

Gu Santong: "."

Realizing that his words and actions had been observed by Gu Shao'an, Gu Santong remained silent for a moment before suddenly becoming angry.

Then, Gu Santong asked with a hint of probing, "Your lightness skill has improved?"

Meeting Gu Shaoan's gaze, Gu Shaoan nodded and smiled, "Not long ago, I successfully stepped into the 'Power' level, which can be considered as making up for my only shortcoming."

"The only weakness."

Gu Santong's eyelids twitched.

In Gu Santong's eyes, Gu Shaoan's "Cloud Dragon Soaring Through the Void" was already considered one of the best lightness skills in the world.

Not to mention that Gu Shaoan has mastered this lightness skill to the level of "smooth and effortless".

Even among top-tier masters, there are probably very few who can compare to Gu Shaoan in terms of lightness skill.

However, in Gu Shaoan's view, this level of lightness skill was actually a weakness.

Gu Santong said with a hint of speechlessness, "I really suspect that in a few years, even without condensing the Three Flowers, your strength will be comparable to that of a Celestial Realm cultivator."

Thinking back to when I first met Gu Shaoan a few years ago, Gu Shaoan's internal energy cultivation level was only at the Qi Condensation stage.

But now, putting aside his internal strength, Gu Shaoan's strength alone is so great that even Gu Santong is terrified.

Comparing his own progress over the past few years, Gu Santong suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Seemingly feeling somewhat uncomfortable, Gu Santong did not continue on this topic.

"Why did you come here out of the blue?" Hearing Gu San's undisguised disdain, Gu Shaoan said, "Zhu Wushi just came by."

Mentioning Zhu Wushi, Gu Santong's face immediately darkened, and even the internal energy within his body unconsciously began to circulate.

Seeing this, Gu Shaoan said irritably, "Don't even think about it. I just fought with him, and with your current strength, you can't beat him."

Gu Santong looked at Gu Shaoan and said, "Isn't this you? With the two of us working together, surely we can take him down?"

Gu Shaoan shook his head and said, "If he's going to die, it should wait until he reaches the Celestial Realm, not now."

Upon hearing this, Gu Santong was stunned for a moment, then looked at Gu Shaoan as if he were a fool.

"Has this kid been knocked senseless by Zhu Tiedan? He's already so difficult to deal with, and you're still thinking of waiting for him to reach the Celestial Realm? Are you going to drain your life force after he reaches the Celestial Realm?"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Gu Santong suddenly came to his senses.

"No, Zhu Tiedan has absorbed the power of so many people, and his energy and spirit are completely disordered. If he wants to enter the Celestial Realm, he can only find a Celestial Realm martial artist and drain that martial artist's power and energy to condense the Three Flowers."

"You mean Zhu Tiedan has a target?"

Gu Shaoan recounted his previous encounter with Gongzi Yu and the events and arrangements made with the Azure Dragon Society to Gu Santong.

Upon learning that the leader of the Azure Dragon Society was none other than the current emperor of the Great Wei Kingdom, and that he had also cultivated the "Absorption Technique," Gu Santong remained silent for a long while before speaking softly: "I originally thought that Zhu Tiedan was already a hero with strategic talent, but I didn't expect that the old emperor's shrewdness and cunning were even more superior."

"Even though the man is already dead, he can still outmaneuver Zhu Tiedan."

As he spoke, Gu Santong understood why Gu Shaoan had said that Zhu Wushi was now immobile.

To Gongzi Yu, Zhu Wushi is currently like a humanoid tonic that is not yet fully mature.

Once Zhu Wushi dies, all the plans that the deceased old emperor and Prince Yu have made over the years will be in vain.

Gongzi Yu will certainly not let this go easily.

If it only involves a small Jianghu (martial arts world) organization like the Azure Dragon Society, then so be it.

But now it also involves the imperial court.

The cause and effect involved here is such that even the Wudang and Shaolin sects, let alone the Emei sect, would not dare to casually shoulder this responsibility unless they were at their wits' end.

Immediately afterward, Gu Santong narrowed his eyes and said, "So, the events at Taihu Lake and my subsequent imprisonment in the imperial jail were also part of the court's scheme?"

Gu Shaoan shook his head and said, "As far as I know, the old emperor's arrangement only began after Zhu Wushi had absorbed all the power of those 108 masters on the shore of Taihu Lake."

As he spoke, Gu Shaoan looked at Gu Santong and asked, "Speaking of this matter, Uncle Gu, do you know if the Eccentric Hero of Tianchi had any other successors? Or did he have any special connection with the imperial court?"

In response to Gu Shaoan's question, Gu Santong shook his head and said, "As far as I know, the Strange Hero of Tianchi has always been a loner and has no connection with the imperial court. Otherwise, he wouldn't have died alone in Tianchi in Xuanbei Tianshan without anyone to see him off."

Gu Shaoan frowned and asked, "Where did the imperial court obtain the 'Absorption Technique'?"

The Absorption Technique is unique, and it also involves the deaths of 108 masters on the shores of Taihu Lake.

Unless Zhu Wushi has lost his mind, it is impossible for him to voluntarily hand over his essential survival skills to the imperial court.

After pondering for a moment, Gu Santong said, "More than twenty years ago, when I entered the realm of Condensing Yuan and Forming Gang in my internal energy cultivation, at the moment of breakthrough, my perception was greatly enhanced in a short period of time due to the breakthrough. At that time, I vaguely sensed another aura around me."

Upon hearing this, Gu Shaoan raised an eyebrow, his expression seemingly casual.

Then, Gu Santong continued, "If I'm not mistaken, there was always a court expert secretly watching over Zhu Tiedan at that time."

"As for the 'Absorption Technique,' it was also that the master secretly copied or wrote down the 'Absorption Technique' in Zhu Tiedan's possession and sent it back to the imperial court."

Gu Shaoan nodded and said, "That is indeed possible."

Zhu Wushi was, after all, a member of the royal family of the Great Wei Kingdom. Even if he was not favored, considering his status as a prince, he would still have skilled guards protecting him in private.

When Zhu Wushi and Gu Santong first met and Zhu Wushi obtained the "Absorption Technique" and the "Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill," their strength and internal energy levels were only second-rate in the martial arts world.

It wouldn't be difficult for the court's experts to secretly glean the "Absorption Technique" from Zhu Wushi without anyone noticing.

Perhaps they knew that Zhu Wushi had been a pawn manipulated in someone else's game from beginning to end.

At this moment, Gu Santong inexplicably felt sorry for Zhu Wushi.

As a result, the hatred towards Zhu Wushi lessened somewhat.

At this moment, Gu Shaoan spoke up: "When the Azure Dragon Society goes to Wudang next year, I will also go with them. At that time, it may be necessary for you to take Miss Suxin to temporarily move to the back mountain."

Gu Santong raised an eyebrow and said, "Are you worried that Gongzi Yu will take advantage of your absence to secretly attack the Emei Sect?"

Gu Shaoan shook his head and said, "I am the only one who can be confident in curing Gongzi Yu's premature aging disease. Considering this, Gongzi Yu will not rashly attack me."

Gu Shaoan wasn't worried about Gongzi Yu's situation.

What Gu Shaoan was truly worried about was someone else.

Or to be more precise, it was another force that had been hidden in the Great Wei Kingdom for many years.

Gu Santong looked at Gu Shaoan with suspicion: "With the current power of the Emei Sect and your strength, as long as Wudang, Shaolin and the imperial court don't take action against you and the Emei Sect, who in the Great Wei Kingdom would dare to cause you trouble?"

The waters that follow are a bit too deep.

There are some things that Gu Shaoan can't say for sure.

He could only vaguely reply, "It's not certain yet, but it's always good to be cautious."

Gu Santong thought for a moment and said, "That's right! Anyway, you've always been a rather cautious kid."

After discussing the Azure Dragon Society and Zhu Wushi, Gu Shaoan changed the subject.

"This time I came to see you, Uncle Gu, not only because of what we just talked about, but also because I have some conjectures about the 'Absorption Technique' that I need your help to test."

When the topic of martial arts came up, Gu Santong immediately became interested.

"Tell me!"

Gu Shaoan didn't hide anything and truthfully said, "The Absorption Technique allows the practitioner to unleash two special kinds of energy when circulating their own internal energy."

"One force is the suction force, and the other force will mix into the suction force and invade the target's body, then cut off the target's power, and even seal the eight extraordinary meridians. If I use the yin and yang energies of the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth to disrupt these energies of the Great Absorption Technique, can I solve or alleviate the effects of the Great Absorption Technique?"

After thinking for a moment, Gu Santong said, "Shall we give it a try?"

"it is good!"

Gu Shaoan nodded, and then his figure flashed, moving three zhang away.
