Crossing the Sword

Ye Shisan smiled and asked: "Then have you ever thought about what you would be like now if I had not held this wooden stick just now, but my Tingtao Sword. But it seems that you prefer Boli, so I will give you a chance. Let's have a hard fight with the wooden sticks in your hand and mine." Then he stepped back three steps to give him enough space to prepare.

Qingluan closed his eyes and recalled the scene just now. He replaced the wooden stick with the Tingtao Sword in his imagination. He immediately opened his eyes in shock, because if I wanted to kill him just now, he would have died N times by now. He raised his head and asked, "Brother Thirteen, why didn't you teach me the moves you used against me just now?"

Ye Shisan smiled and said, "You seem to have been depressed for a long time. You should fight me head-on. This will help you vent your emotions and will also be helpful for your cultivation. If you have any questions, ask them later."

"Okay!" Qingluan agreed readily this time. He bent down and stabbed Ye Shisan with the wooden stick in his hand using the same habitual movement as when he used a fork.

Ye Shisan smiled faintly, secretly channeling his strength into the wooden stick. A stick with one-third of his strength met Qingluan's stick.

Under the influence of Ye Shisan's skill, Qingluan's stick became vulnerable. When the two sticks touched, Qingluan's stick was immediately shattered. Ye Shisan was about to put away the stick, but he found that Qingluan was confident. His right hand, which was originally holding the stick, turned into a fist and hit Ye Shisan's stick. Although Ye Shisan didn't know where his confidence came from, he still decided to believe in Qingluan's ability and hit him with the same force and speed as before.

"Bang!" Ye Shisan used the strength of this stick to protect the stick, so under the protection of his strength, the stick is now no less hard than a piece of stone. But when it hit Qingluan's fist, it was like hitting steel and broke into two pieces immediately.

Ye Shisan quickly dropped his stick and attacked with his palm. This time he increased his strength to 50%.

"Bang!" The fist and palm made close contact, and Ye Shisan's upper body was shaken by the recoil, while Qingluan retreated seven or eight steps before sitting on the ground. He looked at Zhang Tianya blankly and said, "Brother Shisan, I have always known that you are good at swordsmanship, but I didn't expect that your internal strength is so strong. I feel that you are becoming more and more mysterious." At this time, Huofeng had already run over and helped him up.

Ye Shisan said, "Your internal strength is not bad. As long as you practice hard in the future, you will have a chance to surpass me." He paused and said, "Didn't you have a question for me just now? You can ask it now."

Qing Luan then remembered the question from before, so she asked, "Brother Thirteen, why don't you teach us the sword moves you used when fighting me just now? I think that must be much more powerful than the dodging we are practicing now."

Ye Shisan smiled bitterly and said, "Please don't rush in with all your courage when fighting. Didn't you notice that I just used the most basic attack moves I taught you?" After training them for a while, Ye Shisan had thought about what weapons to make for the two of them. Qingluan was a brave type, so Ye Shisan planned to make a sword for him. Huofeng was mainly light and agile, so he was more suitable for swords. The basic attacks that Ye Shisan had taught them before were all basic attacks with swords and knives.

Seeing that Qingluan still didn't quite understand, Ye Shisan patiently explained, "I don't intend to really teach you any martial arts moves. Because moves are static, but people are alive. The martial arts that are most suitable for you must be understood by you. And the evasion that I want you to practice is to let you learn how to protect yourself from the enemy's attack. This will invisibly train you to analyze the opponent's attack speed and distance and many other things in the shortest time. Only when you reach this level, you can learn how to find the opponent's flaws in the shortest time. If you have mastered the essence of the basic attack method by then, you can easily do the attack I just did."

Qingluan asked again: "When can I reach the realm you mentioned?"

Ye Shisan smiled and said, "That depends on your ability, but if you use my method, it should be fast." At least it is not worse than a disciple carefully trained by a regular sect. With Ye Shisan's status in the modern martial arts world, it is something that many people dream of getting a few pointers from him. The reason is that he created a miracle in the martial arts world, a miracle in which a 23-year-old boy became one of the world's martial arts masters. You have to know that the four people who are as famous as him are all over 50 years old.

Qing Luan nodded as if she understood, and then asked, "So, is it your opinion that internal strength is more important, or that the moves are more important?"

Ye Shisan laughed and said, "It's rare that you can ask such a profound question." After organizing his thoughts, he answered solemnly, "I can't answer this question directly, because these are two different realms. Whether it is internal strength or moves, they are just capital. The key lies in how you use it. The more capital the better, and the more exquisite the use, the better. The two complement each other." At this point, Ye Shisan couldn't help but think of the Black Iron Swordsmanship and Dugu Nine Swords in the novel. One is to exert the internal strength to the extreme, and the other is to exert the skills to the extreme. It is difficult to say which one is more powerful. Some people like to compare Yang Guo and Linghu Chong, which is obviously unfair. Because in addition to Yang Guo's internal strength, although the Black Iron Swordsmanship is simple, can it be said that it is not exquisite? And Linghu Chong, in addition to Dugu Nine Swords, his internal strength is not very high. Later, he finally learned the Star Absorbing Technique, but there are still problems. At least before the end of the story, he can only be regarded as a master in terms of internal strength.

The last sword in Dugu Qiubai's sword tomb is a wooden sword. In Zhang Tianya's view, this means that no matter internal strength or skills, in the end, being able to bring out all of one's own advantages is the strongest swordsmanship. Just like what Dugu Qiubai wrote, grass, wood, bamboo, and stone can all be swords. No matter what you have in your hand, as long as you bring out the full potential of yourself and the weapon, it is the strongest swordsmanship! The unity of man and nature may be the truth, and this is also the goal that Ye Shisan has always been looking forward to. This realm is simple to say, but it is not something that can be achieved by hard work or chance alone. Even Zhang Tianya and the other four masters can only be regarded as approaching this realm to varying degrees.

Just as Ye Shisan was secretly sighing, Huo Feng finally spoke up, "Brother Shisan, I also have a question for you."

Ye Shisan came back to his senses and turned around and said, "Feng'er usually asks very few questions. What question took you so long to think about this time?" Unlike Qingluan's straightforwardness, Huo Feng prefers to think of the answers to problems by himself. Only when he really can't think of any, will he ask Ye Shisan.

Huo Feng said, "I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I just didn't dare to ask." Seeing Ye Shisan nodded encouragingly, he asked, "Brother Shisan, I remember you said you had a way to solve the problem on Emperor Yan's side. What was that method?"

Ye Shisan shifted his gaze to the distance and said calmly: "It's the seasonings I added to the food when I ate it..." At this point, he suddenly frowned and said in a low voice: "There is murderous intent!"
