"Senior Sect Leader, if you are willing to help, we naturally have no objections!" Pan Yi and the others immediately said happily.
After all, as the Sect Leader, Ling Baiyi was much stronger than them.
Ye Fan didn't care, he could also understand the thoughts of this group of Mount Shu disciples. No one wanted to admit that the things that they had painstakingly trained for decades were not as good as what others casually practiced.
It was also impossible for Ye Fan to tell them that the hard work he had put in, the hardships he had endured, and the battles he had experienced were things that they could not imagine.
The reason why he improved so quickly was largely because he was constantly struggling on the line between life and death.
In the most difficult times, one could constantly break through oneself and stimulate one's potential.
This was precisely the kind of opportunity that the ancient martial artists of the big sects in China would rarely encounter … Of course, you had to survive first to be considered an opportunity.
Ling Baiyi politely asked, "Mr. Ye, can you give me a chance to seek guidance?"
"I have no objections. I will simply use the sword to make friends, not to compare cultivation and strength." Ye Fan said with a smile.
It just so happened that he could use this kind of direct observation method to explain to the people of Mount Shu what he wanted to express.
It could also be considered a gift to Mount Shu. When the time came, he would feel at ease when he saw their Imperial Sword Technique.
Ye Fan and Ling Baiyi walked to the center of the arena. The hundreds of Mount Shu disciples present, as well as some of the Mount Shu disciples and elders who heard that there was going to be a competition here, all rushed over.
After all, everyone was very curious as to how an outsider would use the sword techniques of the Mount Shu Sect to fight against the Sect Leader of Mount Shu.
In order to be fair, both of them used the most common Azure Edge Sword of Mount Shu.
Although Ye Fan had seen Ling Baiyi make a move before, he did not have a sword at that time, so his strength was greatly reduced. Now that he had a sword, Ling Baiyi's temperament had completely changed, becoming even sharper.
Ye Fan stood there calmly, holding his sword with one hand, he extended his hand and gestured, "Sect Leader Ling, please go ahead. You decide which set of sword moves to compete in first."
Ling Baiyi did not give in too much modesty, because Ye Fan's strength was indeed stronger, so he did not hesitate to stab out with his sword!
Cold Star Chasing Moon!
This was a move from the Thirteen Unfettered Swords. It used the sword's piercing characteristic to explode at a point, and it was a sharp move that constantly accelerated as it moved forward!
When Ling Baiyi used it, this move was especially natural. The swordsman and the sword's trajectory became a straight line!
Seeing this, Fan Xian also used the Cold Star Chasing Moon!
However, Ye Fan's footsteps were slower. When he took a step forward, Ling Bai's sword had already arrived in front of him!
Just when everyone thought that Ling Baiyi's sword was about to succeed, they suddenly saw Ling Baiyi stop!
Taking a closer look, the sword in Ye Fan's hand was already a step faster, pressing against Ling Bai's chest!
"How … how is this possible!?"
"He clearly drew his sword too late!"
The group of Mount Shu disciples present were all baffled. They couldn't see how Ye Fan had won against Ling Bai!
Ling Bai himself was also caught off guard. After thinking for a while, he realized a problem and suddenly said, "It's the elbow joint!?"
Fan Xian smiled and nodded, "Not bad, Sect Leader Ling still has good eyesight."
"Senior Brother Sect Leader, what's going on?" Pan Yi and the others couldn't tell what was wrong.
Ling Bai explained, "Although Mr. Ye also used the Cold Star Chasing Moon like me, when he attacked with his sword, his elbow was bent to a certain extent.
In other words, when his sword and my sword were about to attack at the same time, his elbow would actually change speed even faster!
However, I can't tell when his speed will change, nor can I tell if he will choose to pick up his sword midway and switch to the 'White Crane Spreading Wings Style'.
Once he changes his move, it will be even more difficult for me to retract my sword. My side will be wide open, so I have no choice but to be on guard.
It can be said that the difference in this detail of Mr. Ye's made the Cold Star Chasing Moon even more changeable and even more threatening! "
Ye Fan nodded, "That's about it."
Ling Bai said seriously, "Although it looks simple, and only keeps the elbow bent, if you really want to use it like this, the degree of stability and bending must be grasped perfectly.
Otherwise, if the power of the sword is insufficient, and the strength of the sword is insufficient, this is definitely not something that can be done in a day. "
"Perhaps it's because it's troublesome to practice like this, so many people don't want to practice like this anymore." Ye Fan said with a smile.
The group of Mount Shu disciples were all stunned when they heard this. They never thought that a simple stab could have so many changes?
Ling Bai nodded, "Mr. Ye, please continue your teachings!"
Immediately, the two of them began to compete again.
No matter which move Ling Bai used, Ye Fan would be able to use the same set of sword techniques to neutralize them one by one. However, when Ye Fan used the same sword moves, it was extremely difficult for Ling Bai to defend against them.
After more than thirty moves, Ye Fan had already placed his sword at Ling Bai's vital points seven times.
From time to time, Ye Fan would stop and explain why he had the upper hand.
Ling Bai also humbly accepted it, and asked a few questions if he didn't understand.
Ling Yu Wei, who was at the side, didn't know what to say when she saw that her father still wanted to ask Ye Fan for guidance …
Following Ye Fan's explanation, the more the people at the scene listened, the more fascinated they became. The gazes they cast towards Ye Fan also became more and more worshipful.
After Ye Fan put away his sword, he smiled and said, "Alright, that's all I have to say. I wonder if my friends from Mount Shu are satisfied?"
Pan Yi, Li Lihong, and the other second generation disciples were already convinced. They cupped their hands towards Ye Fan and said.
"Mr. Ye's understanding of the way of the sword is truly admirable. Please teach us more." Pan Yi said sincerely.
"That's right, Mr. Ye, please tell us more. We have all benefited a lot from it." The other disciples also said in anticipation.
Seeing that everyone was so serious and wanted to hear him speak, Ye Fan said again, "Alright, then I'll talk about some of my opinions in general.
Although I've only seen everyone from the Mount Shu Sect practice their swordsmanship today, I've discovered that the disciples of the Mount Shu Sect usually practice many sword techniques at the same time.
Actually, I feel that this kind of training method is a bit inappropriate. Everyone was pursuing the diversity of sword moves, but they had neglected to think about why the ancient martial arts seniors who created these sword moves had created them.
Tracing back to the source, any set of sword techniques could not escape the basic sword moves of stabbing, picking, lifting, chopping, hanging, and so on.
Rather than spending a lot of time practicing different sword techniques, it would be better to spend more time thinking about how the seniors and experts behind these sword techniques would explain the usage of the sword …
When the creator of a set of sword techniques died, then his sword was dead, and his sword techniques were also dead. To put it bluntly, that sword technique was a type of sword dao that belonged to him, not to anyone else.
If one wanted to truly become an expert in the way of the sword, one had to think of a way to use the sword, not a dead sword, to set up a dead move … This way, it was equivalent to walking into a dead end.
