He was only seventeen years old, yet he had such frightening strength.
"He walks the path of the spear, but I know how to use the blade! How can I teach him? In terms of spear techniques, I'm afraid I'm not as good as him. Although he's only in the Postliminary Realm, he's not too far off from me in terms of concept! There's no way I can teach him. Furthermore, I already have a precious disciple! There's no need to … … kill him? If I kill him now, that Zhuge Yuan-hong will definitely be furious and come here personally. If he finds out that I'm the one who killed him, then it'll be troublesome. "
The old man was still fearful of Zhuge Yuan-hong.
"Even if he doesn't find out, once he comes, it'll be hard for me to get the Black Fire Spirit Fruit! Hmm, the important matter is more important. After I get the Black Fire Spirit Fruit, I'll kill this Teng Qingshan! Hmph, I'll destroy the corpse and erase the evidence. Zhuge Yuan-hong definitely won't be able to find out! Zhuge Yuan-hong, Zhuge Yuan-hong, who asked you to help Wei Wuya? Don't blame me this time! "
The silver-haired old man had a plan in his heart and smiled as he watched the battle.
At this moment, the surroundings were filled with cheers!
Everyone was praising Teng Qingshan. Teng Qingshan had indeed fought beautifully just now. When he used his spear, it was like an obedient swimming dragon. At times, it was strange and swift, and at other times, it was violent and ferocious. With just this dancing spear, he had beaten the Heavy Sword Sect Leader, Sima Feng, to the point where he couldn't get up.
"Brother Wang, you've been famous for decades, why don't you go and challenge him? If you win, you'll be famous all over the world. "A lean man beside the silver-haired old man laughed.
"That's right, Brother Wang, you're still one of the top experts in our Fanwu City." Someone beside him mocked.
The silver-haired old man shook his head and laughed, "Don't you guys know my little strength? Competing with an expert of the 《Earth Ranking》? Are you tired of living? " The surrounding martial artists also laughed. Everyone was also joking about this' Wang Yun '. Wang Yun was a martial artist with decent strength from Fanwu City of Xuyang County.
He could be considered to have reached the peak of the Postliminary Realm.
The silver-haired gray-robed old man was teased, but he still had a smile on his face. However, a cold light flashed in his eyes, revealing the ruthlessness in his heart.
*****
Among the thousands of martial artists, many of them shouted loudly.
"Teng Qingshan is indeed powerful. He defeated Sima Feng so easily!"
"Teng Qingshan is indeed an expert of the 《Earth Ranking》."
…
Many cultivators with average strength were the most noisy. Previously, they had mocked Teng Qingshan, but now they were praising him with all their might. Actually, the new issue of the 《Earthly Ranking》 had not been published yet. It was impossible to confirm whether the Wan Xiang Sect would really include Teng Qingshan in the new issue of the 《Earthly Ranking》.
However, many martial artists were like this. They were like rain when they saw the wind. They only wished for the world to be in chaos.
"Sect Leader!" "Sect Leader!"
Many people surrounded Sima Feng. Sima Feng was sitting cross-legged on the ground, using his internal strength to control his injuries. After a while, he opened his eyes and stood up with difficulty with the help of his disciples. He looked at Teng Qingshan from afar. Although he was unwilling, he still said in a clear voice, "Commandant Teng, you are indeed an expert of the 《Earthly Ranking》 who defeated Meng Tian. Your spear art has already reached the Neutral Jing stage. I, Sima Feng, am ashamed of my inferiority! Cough … "
Speaking loudly had caused his internal injuries. Sima Feng could not help but cough up blood.
This scene caused many warriors to be secretly shocked.
Teng Qingshan's previous spear attack had actually injured Sima Feng to this extent.
"Thank you Commandant Teng for being merciful." Sima Feng cupped his hands and left with the help of his disciples.
Being merciful?
Indeed, Teng Qingshan had been merciful. The heavy sword in Sima Feng's hand had been sent flying. In a situation where he was unable to block it, he had used the move "Inflamed Fire" to smash his opponent's body. Even if it was a strength of tens of thousands of Jin, it would still be enough to smash Sima Feng to death. At the last moment, Teng Qingshan had stopped using his spear technique.
He had only broken one or two of his opponent's ribs and injured his internal organs.
Although he would need to recuperate for a year and a half, at least his life was saved.
"Defeating Teng Qingshan would allow him to enter the 《Earthly Ranking》."
"Yan Tie, you were able to defeat Feng Wuxue. Maybe you can also defeat Teng Qingshan." Someone shouted loudly. Yan Tie, who was in the crowd, frowned and swept his gaze over. However, there were too many people around. Especially some of the taller ones, they completely blocked his line of sight. He could not see who was shouting at all.
"Humph." Yan Tie coldly snorted, but did not go up.
Yan Tie stared at the distant Teng Qingshan: "What a powerful spear art. Although I could use all my strength to block these two moves. However, the words that Teng Qingshan had said before the battle were obviously to demonstrate his moves for his cousin. This fellow … … could it be that he was really hiding his strength? "Yan Tie did not dare to make a move.
Just the strength that Teng Qingshan had revealed was enough to give Yan Tie a headache.
"Looks like I have underestimated the experts in the world! Hmm, there are many experts here. Let's wait and see … … Once the matters here are settled, I will return to Youzhou and look for Master! After wandering around for eight years, it's time to return! "Yan Tie thought to himself.
… …
Teng Qingshan stood in the spacious area for a while. Seeing that no one was challenging him, he then walked back into the crowd.
Seeing that no one was challenging him, the thousands of warriors who were originally spectating dispersed one by one. "Thunder God Blade" Wu Yue looked at the back of Teng Qingshan as he left. A cold glint flashed in his eyes: "What a powerful spear art. Just by looking at one spot, one can know the whole body. This Teng Qingshan definitely did not use his strongest spear art … … He definitely has the strength to kill Meng Tian! This time, he will be a strong opponent in the fight for the Black Fire Spirit Fruit. However … … I have honed my saber art for so many years. I don't believe that a seventeen year old kid can withstand it! "Wu Yue was very confident.
The crowd dispersed and returned to their respective places.
However, everyone was still discussing the two previous matches in twos and threes. Each and every one of them was amazed.
*****
At the Gui Yuan Sect's encampment.
"Brother Qinghu, the two moves that Commandant Teng used were the same moves that you used during the centurion competition?" A few Black Armoured Corps sergeants surrounded them.
"Yes." Teng Qinghu's eyes lit up. "Pulling Chestnuts from the Fire and Adding Oil to Fire are two of the simpler moves that Qingshan taught me. I didn't expect that … … these two moves would be so powerful in Qingshan's hands. If these two moves of mine were half as powerful as Qingshan's, I would be able to obtain first place in the centurion competition! "
"Keep bragging."
The surrounding people laughed.
"However, why is it that the power of the same move is so much weaker?" Teng Qinghu muttered. That night, Teng Qinghu practiced his spear art for most of the night. The spear art that Teng Qingshan had displayed previously had greatly inspired him.
… …
The night was silent.
Teng Qingshan sat on the weeds and leaned against a big tree behind him. He was at the edge of the Great Yan Mountain. If he looked down, he would be able to see the Gui Yuan Sect's tents.
"Adding Oil to Fire and Pulling Chestnuts from the Fire … … The concepts of these two moves are completely opposite, yet they can be combined. This 《Five Techniques of the Ardent Flame》 … … "Teng Qingshan closed his eyes and tried to simulate the fusion in his mind. As he thought, Teng Qingshan stood up and began to practice, constantly changing his moves.
Teng Qingshan wanted to combine the 《Five Techniques of the Ardent Flame》 with the concept of the Cannon Fist and combine them into one move.
This move would also be the fourth move of the Five Elements Spear Art.
Teng Qingshan had been pondering over how to transform the Cannon Fist into a spear art for a few years, but he had never succeeded.
The 《Five Techniques of the Ardent Flame》 was an opportunity.
Among the 《Five Techniques of the Ardent Flame》, the most difficult moves to combine were the completely opposite concepts of 'Adding Oil to Fire' and 'Pulling Chestnuts from the Fire'. These two moves could be combined. When Teng Qingshan combined these five moves, his progress immediately became faster. This night, Teng Qingshan was completely immersed in the spear art and didn't feel the passing of time.
Until the next morning.
Teng Qingshan didn't feel sleepy at all. He had some doubts in his heart: "Which direction should I choose for the fourth move of the Five Elements Spear Art?" In the process of combining the spear art, some useless moves must be discarded and the essence must be combined to completely express the concept of the fire attribute spear art.
But — —
Which are the essences?
"If I use 'Prairie Fire' and 'Silver Flower of the Flame' as the main body and combine it with the Cannon Fist, it should be a group attack move. If I use 'Legacy of the Ultimate Flame' as the main body, then I can combine it with the concept of 'Tiger Cannon Fist' and create the strongest single target attack move! "Teng Qingshan was very clear.
There were two paths, one was a group attack, the other was a single target attack.
Tiger Cannon Fist was his strongest fist art in his previous life. It had the possibility of combining with the concept of 'Legacy of the Ultimate Flame'.
Teng Qingshan had a premonition — —
Once he chose a single target attack move, then the difficulty of creating this move would be ten times or even a hundred times harder than creating a group attack move. However … … this move, in his imagination, would surpass' Toxic Dragon Drill 'and become the most powerful move among the four spear arts!
"Group attack? My 'Pursuing Shadow' move can be a single target attack or a group attack. The power of the 'Toxic Dragon Drill' is also very strong! Right now, I don't need a powerful group attack move. Forget it, I should be more patient and spend more effort. Since I've been pondering for so many years, there's no rush to wait a few more years! "
Teng Qingshan decided to put his heart and soul into researching and creating the fourth move of the Five Elemental Spear Arts, a spear art with the fire attribute!
This would be the most terrifying move among the four moves, and also the move that would take the most time.
Teng Qingshan descended the mountain and returned to the camp.
"Qingshan, you entered the mountain for morning training this early?" Ji Hong had just come out of the tent.
Teng Qingshan smiled and nodded.
At this time, Commander Guan Lu also walked out of the tent. She glanced at Teng Qingshan and her expression changed slightly. However, she quickly recovered her indifference and walked past Teng Qingshan. At the same time, her voice rang out: "Commandant Teng, don't forget our agreement. Once this matter is over, if you aren't afraid of getting injured, let's have a good match."
After saying this, Guan Lu walked away.
Teng Qingshan couldn't help but be startled.
… …
In the following days, the Gui Yuan Sect still divided into three teams and searched the entire Blazing Mountain. However, the mountain range was too vast. As time passed, more and more warriors came. Putting so many warriors in the mountain was just a drop in the ocean.
Soon, the men of Yangzhou's number one sect, Qing Hu Island, arrived.
Qingzhou's number one sect, Xiao Yao Palace, also sent a team of over a hundred people. A large number of warriors, whether famous or not, also arrived. Within a month, the number of warriors gathered around the Blazing Mountain had already exceeded ten thousand. Every night, the warriors would return to the foot of the mountain.
With over ten thousand warriors, of course there would be many conflicts.
Sparring, revenge killings, and so on were common occurrences.
