While watching the battle, Elder Sun had been holding back his words for a long time.
He stood up impatiently and said in a sharp tone: "Li Zixuan, if I read it correctly, the sword technique you use is called 'Falling Rain Sword', and his boxing technique is 'Lion's Roar' Fist'. In the battle just now, you made at least three fatal mistakes. If you made one less mistake, you might have a chance to win.
"First, you use the 'Falling Rain Sword'. The timing of the starting move was wrong. At that time, he happened to use the second move of the 'Lion's Roar Fist', which was also the only defensive move - it was enough to withstand more than 70% of your sword intent, making you waste your efforts.
"Secondly, when he is accumulating power, you don't need to try to predict his movement direction at all - because when the 'Lion's Roar Fist' is accumulating fist power, the monk cannot move at all. You at least Therefore, three swords were missed.
"Also, I simply can't understand that when you cast the last sword, your opponent was standing less than a foot away in front of you, and you could actually wield the sword. Split crooked?
"Is it because he beat you so hard just now that your mentality collapsed, your movements were deformed, and you couldn't even hold the sword steadily? With your fragile psychological quality, you will not encounter powerful enemies in future tasks. Didn't the ghosts scare him to the point of peeing?
"..."
Elder Sun kept talking for a long time, explaining the existence of Li Zixuan's sword skills in front of a large audience. All the problems were pointed out with a stern attitude.
If Li Zixuan had just suffered a physical beating, then at this moment, he had received numerous mental beatings. A critical attack.
The "falling rain sword" that he was so proud of was so full of flaws in front of Elder Sun.
His confidence was instantly shattered.
p>He put his hands on the ground and struggled to get up from the ground, his head drooping and his eyes dull.
Gu Xu glanced at Elder Sun and saw that he was getting more and more excited as he talked. , His nose was on fire and his mouth was foaming. It seemed that he had endless fun in finding fault with others.
After Elder Sun's comments came to an end, Gu Xu pondered for a moment and said calmly. He said: "Actually, Li Zixuan's last sword strike was not his own fault. ”
“Whose problem is that? "Elder Sun frowned.
With his arrogant and arrogant character, he hates others denying his views, especially when he is refuted in person by a low-level monk like Gu Xu who is too young.
"If I read it correctly, in addition to the 'Lion's Roar Fist', Yao Xiao also masters a secret method called 'Phantom Spirit Technique'. Its function is to interfere with the opponent's perception and cause the opponent to produce Illusion," Gu Xu explained, "In the process of releasing it, a faint silvery white light will light up in the monk's eyes.
“Yao Xiao used this ‘phantom technique’ to make Li Zixuan misjudge his position.
“This is the key to his victory. ”
Sun ChangThere was no response from the old man.
He just squinted his eyes and looked at Yao Xiao standing on the ring - he seemed a little surprised that a muscular man like Yao Xiao, who looked tall and thick, could actually master such insidious tactics.
Yao Xiao on the ring was also stunned for two seconds.
He also did not expect that Gu Xu could see through his trump card at a glance from such a long distance.
You know, Yao Xiao has worked hard and planned for a long time in order to achieve a good result in the "Luoshui Conference".
On the surface, he disguised himself as a "rough and macho" persona, using straightforward and non-fancy martial arts like "Lion's Roar Fist" to make others think that he was doing the right thing. The reckless line of "defeating ten guilds with one force".
But in fact, he secretly learned the "phantom technique" that can create illusions, the "soul trap technique" that can slow down the opponent's thinking, and the "breath concealment technique" that can cover up his true energy. etc.
These spells have one characteristic: there are no fancy light and shadow effects, and they do not need to be triggered by chanting incantations. If you don't look closely, you'll be hard to spot.
During the battle just now, Yao Xiao was standing directly in front of Li Zixuan.
However, under the influence of "Illusion Technique", Li Zixuan mistakenly thought that Yao Xiao was standing in front of him to the left, so his sword missed. Then Yao Xiao seized the opportunity and punched him. Blast off the ring.
Li Zixuan, who was not far away, was also filled with emotion.
As a ninth-grade official at the Exorcism Department Headquarters, he has always been full of admiration for Gu Xu, who saved Qingzhou Mansion and won the first prize in the Lantern Festival Tournament.
He originally thought that Gu Xu had only reached the pinnacle in the art of talisman and seal script, and was only at the level of an ordinary genius in other fields.
I didn’t expect that he had such extensive knowledge.
His understanding of worldly Taoism, law and martial arts even surpasses that of fifth-level monks like Elder Sun.
At this time, Gu Xu stood up from his seat with a faint smile on his face, looked at Li Zixuan and said: "Li Jishi, in my personal opinion, your sword skills are exquisite and well connected. Tight, like a continuous spring rain. You must have spent a lot of time practicing to achieve such proficiency.
“However, in actual combat, you often need to know yourself and the enemy to survive a hundred battles. You can't just devote yourself to your own martial arts, but also try to understand other Taoist secrets and understand the fighting methods that others may adopt.
"'Falling Rain Sword' is a spell that uses softness to overcome hardness. In fact, it has a strong restraining effect on Yao Xiao's 'Lion's Roar Fist' - its third form can happen to be silent." To effectively resolve the second and fourth movements of the 'Lion's Roar Fist'.
"However, maybe it's because you don't understand the 'Lion's Roar Fist', so you just missed two of them. A very critical opportunity to win. ”
Hearing what Gu Xu said,Li Zixuan took a deep breath, then clasped his fists, bowed to Gu Xu and said, "I would like to thank Master Gu for your kindness in teaching me." The selection is extremely demanding.
As long as you lose one game in the first round, you will be completely disqualified.
However, when Li Zixuan left the ring and returned to the vast sea of people, his frustration disappeared completely without even realizing it.
There was even joy in his eyes.
Li Zixuan can be regarded as a martial arts fanatic.
Ever since he worked hard in the Exorcism Department and accumulated enough merit to exchange for the middle-grade martial arts "Raindrop Sword", he has been practicing hard day and night, regardless of wind or rain, without rest. I just hope that one day I can become famous and show off my power.
However, even if Li Zixuan has mastered every move of "The Falling Rain Sword" to perfection, he still mostly loses in private duels with his colleagues.
He was puzzled by this.
He has always felt that his dismal results were not worthy of his long-term hard work.
But today, when Gu Xu pointed out the reason sharply, Li Zixuan suddenly became enlightened, and the knot in his heart was solved.
"No wonder Master Gu, although he only has the cultivation level of the third realm, is highly regarded by the Chief Secretary and can sit in the same seat as the elders of the Crazy Blade Sect of the fifth realm," he thought in his heart He repeatedly praised, "This kind of talent, this kind of vision, this kind of knowledge is comparable to the reincarnation of a god."
Then, Gu Xu turned to look at Yao Xiao standing on the ring, and said He said: "Yao Shaoxia, I personally think that as long as the rules allow it, all tactics that can achieve victory are good tactics. However, if there is not enough hard power to support it, any means and any underhanded tricks are just castles in the air." That's all.
"In the battle just now, you combined the two martial arts of 'Lion's Roar Fist' and 'Phantom Spirit Technique' with completely different styles and artistic conceptions. I appreciate your approach very much.
“However, you cannot spend too much time and energy on studying issues such as 'how to deceive your opponent' while neglecting the practice and consolidation of martial arts itself.
"I noticed that the connection between the fourth and fifth moves of your 'Lion's Roar Fist' is relatively stiff, and the proficiency is obviously slightly lower than other moves. Fortunately, Li Zixuan didn't know much about the 'Lion's Roar Fist', otherwise if he had seized the opportunity, the result of this competition might have been different.
"In addition, in the round after round of selection in the 'Luoshui Conference', the opponents you encounter will only become stronger and stronger - their vision may even be more vicious than mine.< /p>
“The activation of ‘Phantom Spirit Technique’ may be concealed enough, but it is only a mid-level spell, and it is not an undisclosed secret. There are many people who know about it.
“If you rely too much on such means, they are likely to take advantage of it and set a trap for you.
p>"This is some advice I personally give you!"
After Gu Xu finished speaking, Yao Xiao also bowed to him and said, "Thank you, Mr. Gu, for your advice. "Thank you!"
But the expression on his face did not change, and I don't know if he listened next.
In the next half hour or so, the practitioners boarded the ring in pairs according to the results of the pre-drawn lots. The winner was promoted and the loser was eliminated.
Gu Xu, Yang Jiong and Elder Sun Mao sat on the city gate, watching the battle quietly.
Whenever a duel ends, Elder Sun will stand up excitedly and make an impassioned speech with an extremely critical and strict attitude.
Basically, after listening to his "venomous comments", every contestant will become gloomy and have a lump in their throat.
In contrast, Gu Xu’s comments are relatively “high in emotional intelligence”.
For example, when Elder Sun said, "Your move is full of flaws," Gu Xu would say, "Your move still has a lot of room for improvement.";
For example, when Elder Sun said, "Your sword skills are neither fish nor fowl", Gu Xu would say, "You seem to have your own ideas in swordsmanship";
For example, when Elder Sun said, "A careless person like you is People are simply not suitable for using the "Prosperous" sword technique, which is famous for its complexity and meticulousness. It is a mistake from beginning to end." Gu Xu would say, "Why don't you try the "Overlord Sword Technique" like yours! Young monks with a domineering spirit should like this kind of martial arts with great openness and indomitable force.";
For example, when Elder Sun said, "He is clearly a rough man, but when he swings his sword, he looks like Like a girl, soft and powerless." Gu Xu would say, "Why don't you try to learn how to draw talismans in the future, you may be more talented in talismans";
...< /p>
As for Luojing Governor Yang Jiong, he always sits on a chair and becomes a "mascot"
When every duel ends, he either applauds or claps his thigh. , cheering for the winner.
His lines are limited to the following: "Good", "Wonderful", "Awesome", "You guys opened my eyes today", etc. Wait.
After all, as a mortal, he can't even recognize the realms and moves of the monks, let alone comment on the details.
Time flies so fast. It’s time for the last competition this morning.
In Gu Xu’s opinion, this should be the highest quality competition this morning.
One of them is a female student from Longmen Academy. Her name is Hu Xiaoyun. She has a delicate face and a slim figure. She is wearing a gray and white robe from the academy. Her hair is tied up with a simple wooden hairpin.
The person who was called by her name has a bookish temperament. At that time, her eyes were wandering and she seemed a little nervous.
But Gu Xu noticed that she was holding a large stack of thick talismans in her hand - this undoubtedly showed that she was not a person. A frail little girl, but a girl with no strength.Light talisman repair.
After entering the ring, Hu Xiaoyun glanced at Gu Xu at the city gate pretending to be casual, then quickly lowered her head, with a faint blush on her cheeks.
Yang Jiong, the governor of Luojing, was keenly aware of the girl's little movements.
He looked at Gu Xu with a smile and said jokingly: "Master Gu, this little girl seems to be your admirer."
Gu Xu smiled, no say.
He knew that since the much-anticipated Fu Dao battle, more than half of the female students in Longmen Academy, as well as some male students, had become his fans - but he didn't know which of them were fans. How much is Yan powder, how much is Mu Qiang powder.
The other person is a tall young man.
He has a dark complexion, an unshaven beard, a bitter face, and a listless appearance. Although the information stated that his age was thirty-five years old, Gu Xu always felt that this man looked forty or fifty years old.
From the information, Gu Xu learned that this person's name was Bai Chen and he was a casual cultivator.
Since these two people are both third-level monks and are among the higher-level contestants today, all onlookers are full of expectations for their performance.
Although Hu Xiaoyun from Longmen Academy looks weak, she is not soft at all when it comes to fighting.
As soon as the gongs and drums sounded, she quickly recited the incantation and threw the three talisman papers in her hand towards her opponent in turn.
Gu Xu could tell at a glance that one of the three talismans she used was a "fixing talisman" that could fix the opponent in place for three seconds - it was not very powerful, but The advantage is that the spell is extremely short and takes effect almost instantly.
The other two talismans are both "flame talismans" - as the name suggests, its function is to create flames and burn the opponent.
