Chapter 510

Shan Xiumei gently nodded. "The Yedu Martial Arts Club has given a chance for a common disciple to be promoted. It's a great merit."

Her expression was full of admiration and sympathy for the common people. She really looked like an elegant fairy who had fallen into the human world.

Wang Ce looked at the side of her face, admiring the beautiful lines, and was momentarily entranced.

Soon, the Green-ribbon Arrester Kong Yu of Yedu, the Foreign Affairs Elder of the Huang Family Huang Yuanhua, the Foreign Affairs Deacon of the Huanhua Swords Sect Lian Shuiyao, and the Manager Qi Zhengyan arrived to watch the Martial Club Competition and select talents for their families.

In other Martial Arts Practice Halls, there were also people from sects and aristocratic families. However, all the big powers were here, so the most important competition was naturally arranged here.

"This is Cao Chengye of the Sun-scorching Martial Club. He has just opened his Eye Apertures at the age of 19. My family cherishes his talent and decided to give him a chance to practice advanced skills." Wang Ce pointed to a silent and indifferent young man and introduced him to Shan Xiumei.

Yesterday, he had asked the old servant to find the information of the Martial Club Competition and read it quickly so that he could explain it to the beauty. He was most impressed by Cao Chengye, who had been selected to join his family. Otherwise, how could Childe Wang recognize and remember Cao Chengye, an ordinary young man who had just enlightened the Apertures.

Shan Xiumei nodded slightly and looked at Cao Chengye. Then she looked at his opponent, a simple young man who was a little embarrassed by today's bustling scene. "This is?"

Wang Ce's expression stiffened. The old servant next to him moved his lips and used Secret Voice-sending.

He coughed and leisurely introduced, "He Mu from the Green Peak Martial Arts Club. He has reached the primary level of Qi-cultivation. He won five rounds in a row yesterday. His sword art is outstanding."

"Five wins in a row in the initial success of qi cultivation?" Shan Xiumei was a little surprised. In the Martial Club Competition, talents who had just opened their Eye Apertures and low-level fighters who had reached the primary level of Qi-cultivation were the most common. If a young man at the primary level of Qi-cultivation wanted to win five rounds in a row, even if he couldn't meet an outstanding disciple like Cao Chengye, he would at least meet two or three opponents at the advanced level of Qi-cultivation. How could he win all of them?

Wang Ce looked at Cao Chengye and He Mu with his hands behind his back. He paused for a moment and said, "According to the judges and spectators, He Mu's swordsmanship is like chess. He is well-organized and has a complete layout, which is often unexpected and full of traps. Well, he is not like a young man's understanding of sword art."

"In other words, he has a master instructing him?" Shan asked curiously.

Wang Ce smiled and said, "It should be. Even the arrangement of his swordsmanship is completely the work of others. But we can't exclude the possibility that he is overflowing with talent."

Shan Xiumei asked in a girlish tone, "Brother Wang, since he has the guidance of an expert, can he defeat Cao Chengye?"

Wang. Wang Ce said decisively, "There is a huge gap between Enlightening the Apertures and the primary level of Qi-cultivation. Cao Chengye can break through the skill with strength and speed, unless that master seals his Kung Fu and comes down to make up for the gap with his rich experience and wonderful sword art."

Shan Xiumei looked at Wang Ce with reverence in her eyes, as if what he said was a famous saying, which made Wang Ce satisfied and happy physically and mentally.

"In the first battle, I kept dodging and defending, allowing Bai Liang to widen the openings in his body step by step until he could no longer defend …"

"His swordsmanship is exquisite. He is cautious. He is good at drawing people into his trap. He has a complete layout …"

Cao Chengye recalled the information his brothers had sorted out. He had a direct and accurate impression of his opponent.

In the arena, Cao Chengye recalled the information his senior and junior brothers had compiled, and he had a direct and accurate impression of the opponent in front of him.

His state of mind was calm and his mind was clear. He already had a strategy to deal with He Mu.

"In terms of swordsmanship, based on his current performance, I might not be as good as him, but my realm is much higher than his. Whether it's strength, speed, or reflexes, I'm far better than him. Moreover, my Eye Aperture has been opened, so I'm good at catching fast things. Even if I fall into a trap of swordsmanship, I can avoid it …"

He Mu was calm. He was not obsessed with winning or losing. In other words, he never thought he could defeat a master who had just opened his Eye Apertures. He just wanted to verify Mr. Su's "story".

Opposite him, He Mu was calm and had no obsession with winning or losing. In other words, he had never thought that he could defeat a master who had just opened his Eye Apertures. He was only standing there to verify Mr. Su's "story".

Yesterday, Mr. Su's words flowed in his mind one by one, making him eager to try.

"His strength is greater than yours. His genuine Qi is stronger than yours. He is faster than you. With your current understanding of swordsmanship, you won't be able to defeat him no matter what kind of" story "you tell or what kind of trap you set …"

"Your only chance lies in the beginning of the story I've told you. Being cautious, good at setting up traps, and good at luring people into traps. This is the accumulation of five battles. It's real and trustworthy. As long as your opponent isn't a reckless person, not a careless person, not an expert who only knows how to attack and not defend, he'll definitely consider whether it's a trap or a trap when he faces your sword art. He'll always reserve some strength to deal with it.

"This is a competition in the arena, not a real fight. As a master in the enlightenment period, he will respect his identity and let you attack first …"

"Of course, if he is reckless or overconfident, you can focus on enjoying your swordsmanship. You can't win …"

"Is this okay? Is this really okay? " He Mu asked himself. Mr. Su's last "trick" was unacceptable. It was not because it was strange, but because it was very common. He couldn't see anything special about it.

He Mu raised his long sword and got ready to attack.

Cao Chengye held his long sword horizontally in front of his chest to signal He Mu to attack first.

He Mu took a deep breath. His genuine Qi surged and he exerted strength in his waist and legs. He used "Lonely Sail Far Shadow".

He had used up all his strength and genuine Qi in this move. There was only Mr. Su's last words in his mind.

"There is no retreat. There is no turning back!"

The sunlight shone into the Martial Arts Practice Hall and the sword light was bright. It was like a ship in the blue sky and the sea, bathing in the sunlight. It moved further and further away and went straight to the middle with a fierce momentum.

This was He Mu's fastest and strongest sword move. If he was in a different position, he would not be able to block it even if he had reached the advanced level of Qi-cultivation. Of course, he could still dodge it.

In Cao Chengye's eyes, although this sword was extremely fast, he could still see it clearly. It was enough for him to deal with it.

"He is cautious …"

"He is good at setting up swordsmanship …"

"Every change of his moves is a hidden trap …"

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Cao Chengye subconsciously held back a bit of his strength. He brandished his long sword to block He Mu's sword.

"Ding!"

The two swords collided. It was Cao Chengye's sword!

"This kind of strength?"

"Doesn't he save any strength?"

"Has he used up all his genuine Qi?"

"How can he be so reckless! He doesn't care about the subsequent changes! "

Cao Chengye's hand became numb and his long sword was pushed away a little. Although He Mu's sword bounced up a little, it was still aimed at Cao Chengye's body!

The sharp edge of the sword hit Cao Chengye's body. It was too late for Cao Chengye to defend himself, so he could only use the remaining strength to dodge.

He gritted his teeth and rolled on the ground to avoid He Mu's sword. Then he stood up like a carp and was about to attack with his sword. But at this moment, He Mu raised his sword and said with a smile,

"I admit defeat."

He was in an exceptionally good mood. To be able to force an Eye Aperture expert into such a sorry state was something he had never dreamed of. If he had reached the advanced level of Qi-cultivation, his inner force would have been stronger, his strength would have been greater, and his speed would have been faster. Cao Chengye might not have been able to dodge!

However, he also knew that the reason why he could make Cao Chengye so embarrassed was because of the right time, the right place, and the right people. The right time was the Challenge Tournament. He could make the first move, and Cao Chengye did not want to risk his life. The right place was the image he had built up in the previous five matches and the beginning of the story. When Cao Chengye received the sword, he was afraid of falling into the trap. The right people were because Cao Chengye was more cautious.

Here, the most important factor was the geographical advantage, which was not something that he could create at the moment. It was all thanks to Mr. Su's guidance and planning. If they were to fight again in the future, even if the time and people were still there, and he had reached the advanced stage of Qi-cultivation, the geographical advantage would be gone, and he would be easily defeated by Cao Chengye.

Wang Ce, who was on the second floor, saw Cao Chengye facing He Mu's sword in a daze and rolling on the ground to avoid it. He said angrily, "What is he thinking? How can he be distracted during the competition? "

It was as if Cao Chengye had fallen into an illusion!

Shan Xiumei looked at He Mu calmly, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be thinking about something. Qi Zhengyan, who was not far away, gently nodded and secretly praised this development.

The old servant's lips moved. Wang Ce quickly calmed down and confidently said to Shan Xiumei, "The reason why Cao Chengye is so embarrassed is that he thinks too much. In the previous five matches, He Mu gave people the impression that he was cautious and smart. He was good at hiding traps in his swordsmanship. Cao Chengye was distracted to guard against this, but he did not expect that He Mu would rush forward with all his strength without leaving a way out. Cao Chengye could not concentrate and was almost taken advantage of by He Mu."

"The master behind He Mu is really far-sighted and frightening to use his performance in yesterday's five matches as a trap. If I didn't know that Brother Wang Siyuan was still in River East, I would have suspected that it was him. Of course, if it was him, Cao Chengye would definitely be defeated."

Shan Xiumei looked at Wang Ce with admiration and said, "Brother Wang, after hearing what you said, I understand the reason. The master behind He Mu is really not to be underestimated."

"Well, I'm going to send someone to investigate and see if we can rope him in. No family will complain about having too many masters." Wang Ce's words came from the bottom of his heart, which was what he had learned from his son.

Not far away, Green-ribbon Arrester Kong Yu pondered for a while and ordered the Governor Arrester next to him, "Send someone to secretly investigate He Mu and find out who is guiding him. Even if we don't provoke him, we have to keep him in our sight to avoid any trouble."

In the Martial Arts Club, among the onlookers, Mengqi patted his robe and left with his hands clasped behind his back. He was quite satisfied with the result.

He had just secretly observed Shan Xiumei and found that she was not too surprised by He Mu's swordsmanship. Obviously, she was more knowledgeable than Wang Ce, which was suspicious.

After leaving the Martial Arts Club, a carriage draped with white felt stopped in front of Mengqi. The coachman restrained his breath and looked ahead without any expression.

The door of the carriage opened, and a delicate and beautiful girl in snow-white clothes came out. Beside her was a copper stove burning warm incense, and her white cloak was placed on the side of her hand.

"Husband, I knew you would come to see Shan Xiumei. Get in the carriage," she said with a smile.

Mengqi was on guard, but he did not show it on his face. "How can you be sure that she is from the Method of Mistress Su? How can you be sure that the Outsky Strange Stone is in her hands? How can you be sure that she is looking for me? "

He did not want to be used by Gu Xiaosang.

"Husband, you are too suspicious. Well, follow me to a place and you will know." Gu Xiaosang pointed to the seat opposite her.
