"Help me reach the Innate Realm within a year?" Xue Xin stared at the mysterious white-cloaked man before him in shock. "Innate Experts are very rare. Even the number two sect in Yangzhou, the Gui Yuan Sect, is rumored to have only three or four Innate Experts. Less than one in ten thousand Warriors can reach the Innate Realm. This person said that he can help me reach the Innate Realm within a year? "
Xue Xin gulped and stared at the person before him.
In his opinion, the white-cloaked man before him was very powerful.
"Stop dreaming. You want me to help you reach the Emptiness Realm by taking a shortcut? The premise is that you can injure me. "Teng Qingshan smiled faintly and said," I will stand within three Chi of you. " With this, Teng Qingshan's right foot emitted a golden flame. Teng Qingshan then drew a circle with his foot.
"Innate True Origin?" Xue Xin's heart thumped.
"Do whatever you want. If you force me out of this circle, it will be my loss." Teng Qingshan looked at Xue Xin with a smile.
"Senior, you are an Innate Expert. With the protection of the Innate True Origin, it is impossible for me to injure you," Xue Xin said.
"I don't need the protection of the Innate True Origin." Teng Qingshan calmed down and said, "Make your move!"
Hearing this, Xue Xin couldn't help but feel indignant. "You don't need the protection of the Innate True Origin? Why don't you walk out of the circle? There is no way to dodge in the circle. If I can't even injure him with my saber … My three years of saber art training have gone to waste. "Xue Xin immediately said respectfully," Senior, please be careful! "
With this, Xue Xin stared at Teng Qingshan calmly with the saber in his hand. For a moment, it was as if he and his opponent, Teng Qingshan, were the only ones in the world.
"Interesting." Teng Qingshan observed Xue Xin carefully.
Whoosh!
The saber instantly transformed into a beam of cold light and struck Teng Qingshan's body like splashed water. However, strangely, Teng Qingshan's figure became blurry and dissipated. Four or five blurry figures of Teng Qingshan suddenly appeared in a circle with a radius of three Chi. and then, the figures condensed and merged into Teng Qingshan.
"This …" Xue Xin blinked. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Use your ultimate move." Teng Qingshan smiled faintly.
"Senior, this is the Gale Blade that I created myself." Xue Xin took a deep breath and suddenly dashed forward. When he was ten feet away from Teng Qingshan, Xue Xin's entire body suddenly transformed into an arc-shaped phantom. His entire body started to spin. At the same time, the horse-slaying saber on his waist also transformed into an arc-shaped bright light!
Hu! Hu! Hu!
A total of eighteen swift and fierce blades circled around Teng Qingshan's circle and slashed crazily.
"Breathe ~ ~ Hu ~ ~" Xue Xin, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but gasp for breath. Beads of perspiration covered his forehead.
"Not bad." Teng Qingshan was still standing in the circle. However, his white robe was still very clean. There was not a single scar on it.
"How, how can this be!" Xue Xin lowered his head and stared at the horse-slaying saber in his hand. Over the past three years, he had relied on this horse-slaying saber to escape many disasters and kill many enemies … He trusted this horse-slaying saber the most.
In Xue Xin's opinion, his eighteen blades would definitely injure Teng Qingshan if they cut the circle around him.
However —
When he performed the blade art, he felt that his blades missed. He didn't hit anything.
"Senior." Xue Xin cupped his hands respectfully and said, "I was too arrogant … Senior was just within this three-foot circle, but I couldn't even hit Senior. I hope Senior can forgive me for what I said just now. "
Teng Qingshan smiled.
An Emptiness Realm Expert was testing a Postliminary Realm Expert. If this scene was seen by other Emptiness Realm Experts, such as the Sovereign of the Sword Sect, they would probably laugh at Teng Qingshan for being a bully.
In the eyes of an Emptiness Realm Expert, the blade art of a Postliminary Realm Expert was too slow. When a Postliminary Realm Expert slashed with his blade, the Emptiness Realm Expert could run several Zhang away and kill one person. Then, he could return to his original position and block the blade! From this, one could see the difference in speed between a Postliminary Realm Expert and an Emptiness Realm Expert.
It couldn't be helped. An Emptiness Realm Expert could travel one to two Li in a flash.
"Your blade art is not bad." Teng Qingshan smiled and said.
Xue Xin's heart trembled.
Would this mysterious expert accept him as his disciple? Xue Xin had suffered too much over the past three years. He really wanted a powerful teacher to teach him.
"Tell me, how did you train your strength?" Teng Qingshan asked with interest. "According to my observation, you don't have any inner strength. You only use your physical strength." As the most powerful expert of the branch of Internal Martial Arts, Teng Qingshan liked warriors who used their physical strength very much.
"Senior." Xue Xin smiled and said, "I don't have a teacher. When I was wandering outside, I trained hard."
"How did you train?" Teng Qingshan asked curiously.
It wasn't easy to train a strength of several thousand Jin.
There were so many warriors in Teng Jia Village. It was almost impossible for them to train to a strength of several thousand Jin by themselves.
"At first, I trained randomly. However, it wasn't very useful. I even injured my body." Xue Xin shook his head and said helplessly, "Later, I began to use my brain. I was thinking … I should use weapons … and my arms must be strong. How can I use arms to be strong? I have seen horses, wild wolves, and other wild beasts. I realized that the front legs of these four-legged beasts are even stronger. "
A hint of joy appeared in Teng Qingshan's eyes.
"I was thinking, if humans crawl on the ground with their hands and feet, would the strength of their arms increase?" Xue Xin said in surprise, "I didn't expect it to be so effective. Every day, I crawled on the ground for at least fourteen to sixteen hours. The strength of my arms kept increasing!"
"I was in a mountain range, eating wild fruits and animals. I crawled every day. One day, I ate a green fruit and had a stomachache. However, after the pain subsided, I realized that my strength increased tremendously." Xue Xin stared at Teng Qingshan.
When Teng Qingshan heard this, a smile appeared on his face.
Crawling on the ground was indeed a very simple and effective method. If humans crawled on the ground like animals from the moment they were born … Then, after ten to twenty years, the strength of their arms would be similar to that of their legs. However, this training method couldn't increase the strength of their arms by several thousand Jin.
This Xue Xin indeed had a fortuitous encounter.
"I will practice a fist art. Watch carefully," Teng Qingshan said solemnly.
"Yes." Xue Xin immediately widened his eyes, fearing that he would miss any of Teng Qingshan's moves.
Teng Qingshan's hands suddenly formed the Tiger Claw Stance. His eyes widened like the eyes of a tiger. Teng Qingshan fully displayed the Tiger Form Fist of the Twelve Forms of Xing Yi. At Teng Qingshan's realm, every punch seemed to contain a real tiger. Even a single look from Teng Qingshan could frighten others.
Bang!
Teng Qingshan pushed his hands and feet against the ground, and he moved over ten Zhang. His movements were as swift as thunder — Fierce Tiger Descends the Mountain!
"Chi —"
The sharp claws tore through the air, causing the surrounding air to vibrate.
"Roar ~ ~" A faint roar of a tiger could be heard.
With a swing of the tiger's tail, the air was sliced into two like tofu.
Xue Xin, who was watching from the side, didn't even dare to blink.
"Did you see it clearly?" Teng Qingshan stopped.
"Yes, yes." Xue Xin nodded.
"Show me what you saw." Teng Qingshan watched calmly. Xue Xin loved poetry since he was young, so he was very smart. The Tiger Form Fist Art wasn't complicated, so Xue Xin could easily memorize it … However, memorizing it was useless. The Internal Martial Art wasn't as simple as Xue Xin thought.
On the empty ground, Xue Xin began to practice the Tiger Form Fist Art.
Halfway through his practice, Xue Xin stopped and pondered. Then, he started practicing again, continuously correcting his moves. As he corrected his moves, Xue Xin's Tiger Form Fist Art gradually gained some flavor. In less than an hour, Xue Xin was able to display the flavor of the Tiger Form Fist Art just by watching it once.
"Eh?" Teng Qingshan's eyes brightened. "I didn't expect my luck to be so good. Haha … This is a pleasant surprise. A pleasant surprise."
Originally, he had chosen a random person to deal with Qing Hu Island. He didn't expect to find a genius of the Internal Martial Art.
Actually, this wasn't strange. Xue Xin had once climbed in the mountains and learned how to pounce on wild beasts. He already had some understanding of the meaning of Xing Yi. Naturally, learning the Tiger Form Fist Art would yield twice the result with half the effort.
"Senior." Xue Xin cupped his hands in shame and said, "I can only practice this fist art to such an extent. Compared to the fist art that Senior displayed just now, I'm still far from it."
Teng Qingshan laughed.
Far inferior?
Teng Qingshan was an Emptiness Realm Expert who had entered the Dao. He was much stronger than the Grandmaster of the Internal Martial Art. If Xue Xin's fist art could reach one-tenth of Teng Qingshan's, he would be comparable to Teng Shou, who was an Innate Expert.
"You are very good." Teng Qingshan looked at Xue Xin with a smile and said, "Wu Yi, from today onwards, you will be my third disciple. What do you think?"
Xue Xin was overjoyed. He knelt down and was about to kowtow. Suddenly, he froze.
Xue Xin had a complicated expression on his face.
In the Land of the Nine Prefectures, the status of a master was equivalent to that of a father! A master for a day is a father for a lifetime! This wasn't a lie. After all, one had to rely on strength to travel in the world, and a master was the person who imparted skills to one.
"Senior." Xue Xin struggled in his heart for a long time. He stared at Teng Qingshan, gritted his teeth, and said, "My real name isn't Wu Yi. It's Xue Xin!"
"Xue Xin?" Teng Qingshan pretended to be surprised and said, "The Xue Xin wanted by Qing Hu Island?"
Xue Xin was wanted by the entire Qing Hu Island. This was a major event that happened after Teng Qingshan left the Land of the Nine Prefectures. Everyone who was well-informed knew about this.
"Yes." Xue Xin lowered his head and sighed.
Maybe …
He had missed the chance to become Teng Qingshan's disciple. However, he didn't regret it. After all, if he harmed his master in the future, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life. His family members had all died. He didn't want another person who had treated him well to die.
"Haha …" Teng Qingshan laughed as he looked at Xue Xin. He had completely accepted Xue Xin.
If he had wanted to use Xue Xin in the beginning, he now truly regarded Xue Xin as a disciple who had the same status as Teng Shou and Yang Dong.
"Xue Xin, from today onwards, you are my disciple," Teng Qingshan said with a faint smile.
Xue Xin widened his eyes in disbelief.
"This … this … Senior, I have offended Qing Hu Island!" Xue Xin hastily said. Qing Hu Island was one of the eight Supreme Sects. In Xue Xin's opinion, even the most powerful innate experts wouldn't dare to offend the colossal Qing Hu Island.
"Qing Hu Island?" A cold glint flashed in Teng Qingshan's eyes as he said, "Even if the Island Lord of Qing Hu Island came personally, I would still kill him with one strike of my sword."
Xue Xin froze, and his body trembled slightly. He knew that … he had met an incredible master!
"Aren't you going to acknowledge me as your master?" Teng Qingshan smiled as he looked at his disciple.
Xue Xin, who was kneeling on the ground, woke up with a start. He revealed an expression of joy and hastily kowtowed. Bang! Bang! Bang! After three consecutive kowtows, Xue Xin raised his head. His eyes were filled with uncontrollable excitement as he said, "Disciple Xue Xin greets Master!"
