Just as they were about to get their hands on the Mysterious Ice Badge, the host, Mr. Dodge, suddenly intervened and stirred things up again.
"The host is going to enter the venue to trade? How strange! Is there such a rule in the auction? "The people in the Bat Hall objected.
Mr. Dodge flicked his robe and revealed a black bear mask. He smiled calmly and said, "Why not? Although I am the host, I am also wearing a mask. I am also a guest. Naturally, I have the right to trade here! "
His words left the crowd speechless. In the Soaring Eagle Hall, Mu Xiaomei said, "Brother Tianming, according to the metaphysics you mentioned, if he goes last, won't he win?"
"There is no basis for metaphysics. You can't believe it!" Ying Feiyang, who was a believer in metaphysics just a moment ago, now denied it. He seemed to be saying this to Mu Xiaomei, but he was actually comforting himself. "Don't worry, he might really just want to trade and not steal the Mysterious Ice Token. Moreover, the incomplete chapter of the Divine Water Manipulation Art is exactly what Princess Linglong needs. I don't believe that he can find a secret manual that Princess Linglong wants more."
The people in the Black Bat Hall laughed weirdly, "Hehehe, if the host wants to trade, it must be something famous. Take it out and let us have a look!"
"If we are talking about fame, the Nine Startling Strokes is indeed not famous. It has never even been circulated in the world." As he spoke, Mister Dodger took out a book from his bosom and held it up high for everyone to see. "But if we talk about its origin, it can be said to be extraordinary, because this sword manual was written by the Sword Crown Gu Jiansheng himself!"
"What?"
"Sword Crown!"
"Gu Jiansheng?"
The name that had been dead for two years was brought up once again. For a time, voices of shock and bewilderment came from all the halls, one after another. Ying Feiyang's heart was in turmoil. "Master locked it up?"
"How is that possible? His sword art manuals should have been destroyed by now …" Princess Linglong's voice quivered. Even though she was doubting Zhang Xuan's words, she could not conceal the agitation in her heart.
Mr. Dodge continued, "There is indeed such a saying. When Jianguan was young, he loved to create his own moves and wrote many sword manuals. But later on, when his sword skills reached the peak, he went back to the basics. He thought that the sword manuals he had created in his early years were too rigid and too rigid, which was why he collected them and burned them all. But his writings were scattered everywhere, so there would always be some that were missed. And this is the one that he didn't destroy!"
At this point, Mr. Dodger's tone was filled with sorrow and sorrow, "In all fairness, this book was created by Sword Crown when his sword skills were not at their peak, so he did not think much of it. But as a figure that stood at the peak of the Sword World, Sword Crown was still a height that was difficult for ordinary people to reach, so this sword manual still had its value! It's a pity that I'm not good at sword skills, so I couldn't make use of its value. That's why I brought it to the market to trade. "
"Moreover, its commemorative value might be more important than its practical value," Mr. Dodger said as he glanced at Princess Linglong.
Princess Linglong seemed to be touched and sighed, "He's gone, so it's a memento, right? Alright, then … "
"Oh no!" Upon hearing Princess Linglong's words, Ying Feiyang quickly suppressed the waves in his heart. He knew that Princess Linglong had fallen in love with Gu Jiansheng in the past. Now that she had spoken, she definitely wanted to exchange sword manuals. He quickly shouted, "Wait!"
Mr. Dodger looked at Soaring Eagle Hall and said, "Oh, what can I do for you, sir?" Princess Linglong was interrupted in the middle of her sentence, so she could feel her gaze through the curtains.
Ying Feiyang was only focused on shouting, so he did not think of a solution. Now that four pairs of eyes were staring at him, he could not help but feel guilty, "Master's early work? Let's do it! " Ying Feiyang clenched his teeth and thought to himself. He then raised his voice and said, "Sword Crown's early works were all destroyed, and only Mr. Dodger has this one? May I know where this one came from? "
Mr. Dodger smiled calmly, "Sir, have you forgotten the rules? We don't ask for the origin of the items sold in the Exquisite Treasure Pavilion. "
Ying Feiyang changed the topic and said, "Then let me change the question. The treasures that we handed over are for Mr. Dodger to verify. Now that Mr. Dodger has taken out a secret manual and claimed that it was written by Sword Crown himself, but you can't say where it came from, who can guarantee that Mr. Dodger's sword manual is authentic?"
As soon as he said this, the crowd started discussing. Someone already said in support, "Yes, that's a good question!"
"We can't just take out a random sword manual and say that it was written by Sword Crown!"
Seeing that everyone's emotions were stirred up, Mr. Dodger laughed, "So you guys just don't trust me."
Ying Feiyang said, "I've been to Donghai for the past two years, and I've only heard of Mr. Dodger's name not long ago. It's too early to say that I trust you." He was implying that Mr. Dodger had only become famous in the past two years, so it was inevitable that people would be suspicious.
Mr. Dodger was not annoyed and said, "Princess Linglong should be able to recognize the handwriting on the paper. She'll know if Dōjin is authentic once she takes a look."
Ying Feiyang said, "It's not difficult to forge handwriting, but I'm afraid it can't be used as proof!"
"Then, sir, what do you want?" Mr. Dodger's tone revealed some impatience.
"Well … that's easy!" However, Ying Feiyang stood up and lifted the curtain to walk out of the room. He said condescendingly, "I boast that I have a certain level of attainment in swordsmanship. How about you let me identify the sword manual?"
The Soaring Hawk Mask coupled with a gaze that was filled with arrogance and confidence like that of a hawk naturally gave off a type of charisma. For a time, the gazes of everyone converged onto Ying Feiyang in unison, and they seemed to want to see through the mask to see exactly who he was.
At that moment, another voice was heard. "If you want to identify the authenticity, count me in!" The curtain to the Blue Shark Hall was lifted, and Wang Nianzhi, the Honorable Swordsman of the Eastern Sea, also walked out of the room.
Princess Linglong had almost bought the item just now. Now that she had calmed down, she realized that she had been too impatient, so she said, "That's a good suggestion. I wonder if Mr. Dodger would agree to it." She could not recognize Ying Feiyang because he was wearing a mask, but she was familiar with Wang Nianzhi. She trusted Honorable Swordsman of the Eastern Sea's judgment. It would not be too late to make a deal after he identified the authenticity.
Hearing Princess Linglong's words, Mr. Dodger had no choice but to nod in agreement. "That's fine too. Thank you for your trouble."
Ying Feiyang and Wang Nianzhi flew down from the lotus platform at the same time. Wang Nianzhi first looked at Ying Feiyang, "You just said that you had a high level of attainment in swordsmanship?"
"So what if I did?" Ying Feiyang said indifferently.
"Humph, how dare you!" Wang Nianzhi snorted coldly, as if disdainful. Then she turned around and looked at the sword manual with Ying Feiyang.
The two of them frowned and looked at it carefully.
The first page of the sword manual was the general outline, which was divided into nine movements. After carefully looking through a few pages, Wang Nianzhi insisted, "It's real! The handwriting can be imitated, but between the lines, there is a soaring sword will integrated into the brush and ink. It's definitely left by Gu Jiansheng. "
"It's fake!" As soon as Wang Nianzhi finished speaking, Ying Feiyang came to the opposite conclusion. His tone was firm, as if he was very confident.
"What a joke!" The opposite conclusion made Wang Nianzhi feel humiliated, so she was not happy.
But Mr. Dodger still stroked his beard and smiled, "How did you know it's fake?"
Ying Feiyang asked in return, "I remember Mr. Dodger just said that this sword manual has never been passed down to the world?"
"So what if it is?"
"If it is, then it's strange —" Ying Feiyang's lips curled up into a faint smile, "Because I know this swordsmanship too!"
As soon as he said that, everyone was shocked, and the crowd was in an uproar.
"You know it too? That's impossible! " Mr. Dodger's expression changed, and he immediately denied, "You said you know this swordsmanship, why don't you demonstrate it here?"
"That's right. Whether it's real or fake, we'll know after two moves!"
"That's right, show us two moves, show us two moves!"
The rest of the people wanted to watch the show, so they all started to make a fuss.
"That's what I was thinking! Then, everyone, please excuse me! " Ying Feiyang took out a sword from his pouch, and the tip of the sword pointed downwards. He closed his eyes lightly, and stood still.
Wang Nianzhi was getting impatient, and said, "What are you waiting for? Did you forget how to use the swordsmanship? "
But as soon as she finished speaking, the water reflected off the sword, reflecting a cold light. Ying Feiyang suddenly moved his sword.
The long sword swept across the water, and the water splashed like pearls and jade. Ying Feiyang's body was like a graceful swan, and his sword was like a swimming dragon. He spun to the stepping stone that was carved into lotus leaves, and what he was doing was a swordsmanship that no one had seen before.
At the beginning, it was just a light and slow stab, but the aura was already flying. Then, the spirit gradually merged, and the power was unpredictable. Like a bird flying in the sky, he could do whatever he wanted without being restrained.
"Great swordsmanship!"
There was no lack of experts at the scene, and seeing Ying Feiyang's swordsmanship was free and unrestrained, they all cheered in unison.
"Sister Shi, I didn't know Brother Tianming was this powerful?" Mu Xiaomei had seen Ying Feiyang's swordsmanship for the first time, so she exclaimed in surprise.
Ling Xin, however, frowned and muttered to herself with a blank expression, "That's not right. Judging from Brother Ying's reaction just now, it should be the first time he's heard of the Nine Forms of Startling Grace."
Below the pavilion, Mr. Dodger and Wang Nianzhi saw that the swordsmanship was exactly what was recorded in the swordsmanship manual, and they were a hundred times more surprised than the rest. But then, Wang Nianzhi seemed to have thought of something, and a cold light flashed in her eyes, "You're learning it now, huh? You're quite capable! "
Wang Nianzhi and Ying Feiyang had both flipped through the first few pages of the swordsmanship manual, and the swordsmanship that Ying Feiyang was using now was also recorded in the first few pages. "Who is this person? He only read a few pages of the swordsmanship manual, and yet he was able to use the swordsmanship in such a short time …" Wang Nianzhi was certain that Ying Feiyang must have learned the swordsmanship at the last minute, but his heart felt like it was being bitten by a snake.
Because he had also flipped through the swordsmanship manual, he had yet to understand the swordsmanship thoroughly, and it was even more impossible for him to learn the swordsmanship at the last minute. In comparison, the frustration that had haunted him for the past few decades because of that person's existence surfaced again.
But then, his belief was overturned!
"Learning it now? Then, watch carefully! " Ying Feiyang let out a long roar and rose into the air. His swordsmanship became faster and faster, as if his sword had turned into thousands of swords. The moonlight, the water, all condensed into a cold sword ray! And the Unruly Sword Will was rising layer by layer, like a swan flapping its wings, trying to break through the shackles and soar into the sky!
Although the sword will was the same as before, Wang Nianzhi had never seen the swordsmanship before. Wang Nianzhi had only read the first few pages, so he couldn't tell. He quickly turned to look at Mr. Dodge, but Mr. Dodge was already dumbfounded. He was so shocked that he couldn't say a complete sentence, "This … Could it be that Dōjin is …"
Looking at his expression, Wang Nianzhi already knew that the swordsmanship that Ying Feiyang was using matched the swordsmanship manual.
But then, Wang Nianzhi suddenly had goosebumps. He felt a sharp intent coming at him. He suddenly turned around and saw that Ying Feiyang, whose swordsmanship had already reached its peak, had gathered all the sword rays into a single line, converging on the tip of the sword. He was like a flying eagle that was splitting the water and breaking the waves as he swept towards the lotus platform!
Wang Nianzhi's body was locked on by the sword will. His heart skipped a beat, and he was about to draw his sword to defend himself.
But he saw that as Ying Feiyang's feet touched the lotus platform, he twisted his wrist and put the sword back into the scabbard. The sudden movement was like moving clouds and flowing water, without any delay. The moment the sword was back into the scabbard, the sharp sword will was swept away, as if it never existed.
Wang Nianzhi then realized that Ying Feiyang was only practicing the swordsmanship. He secretly scolded himself for making a fuss over nothing. But the next moment, he couldn't help but exclaim!
Although the sword will had disappeared, the sword aura was still there. The water that was cut by the sword aura didn't heal for a long time, and there was still a sword mark that looked like the shape of a goose's wing on the water. And where Ying Feiyang was standing was the intersection of the word "person".
"Mark of a Goose Passing?"
"You really know this swordsmanship!"
Mr. Dodge and Wang Nianzhi exclaimed one after another. It was recorded on the first page of the swordsmanship manual that when all nine sword forms were used, the sword mark left behind would form the word "person" in the shape of a goose formation. That was how the "Stunning Nine Forms" got its name.
Ying Feiyang let out a breath and said, "That's right. The Sword Crown is famous all over the world. Naturally, there would be people who would use his name and imitate his handwriting to write fake books. This book is one of them. So, I learned this swordsmanship by chance. At the time, I seem to remember that the one who left his name on the swordsmanship manual was" Sword Crown Xin "."
"Sword Crown Xin …?" Mr. Dodge opened his mouth, looking like he didn't know what to say.
And there were already a lot of people who couldn't help but laugh. There were indeed many people who used other people's names to write books. You could even find a bunch of them in the sea market outside. With such an explanation, everything went smoothly.
Seeing Mr. Dodge's expression, Ying Feiyang quickly gave him a way out, "However, this swordsmanship manual is refined and has its own unique points. Mr. Dodge isn't good at swordsmanship, so it's normal that he made a mistake. Plus, the nine sword forms are all excellent. Even without the title of" Sword Crown ", it won't hurt its value."
But even so, without the title of "Sword Crown", it wouldn't be enough to attract Princess Linglong. Mr. Dodge recovered and shook his head, "Forget it, I made a mistake. I don't want to embarrass myself anymore. I'm not doing this deal anymore!" Then, he put the swordsmanship manual back into his sleeve and forced a smile, "Now that all the martial arts manuals have been shown, you can trade now!"
