of course! You're the lady of the house, you can decide anything. However, I'm driving a truck, and you might not be comfortable.""It's fine, I don't mind at all!" The miss shook her head and said wi...Chapter 368 Sword Techniques Realization 1
"I can't prove that I can break your sword technique!" Xiaoyao waved his hand and said.
"Haha!!"
In the face of ridicule, Xiaoyao still waved his hands. Indeed, he couldn’t break the young noble's sword techniques; this wasn’t a lie in what he just said, but rather because he didn't have that strength.
At times, even if one could see issues, they might not necessarily have the ability to capitalize on them. This is why, when faced with absolute power, all tactics are futile.
Xiaoyao now had the capability to dodge the young noble's attacks and remain in an unbeatable position, but that was as far as it went. Without using any tricks, Xiaoyao could not harm this young noble either.
Even if he knew some weaknesses, these were too small for him to exploit them to surpass so many levels of proficiency. If he had a power level above King rank, then it might be possible.
Currently, he could tell Solitary Star that Solitary Star could kill this young noble instantly, but at the moment, Xiaoyao could only handle it alone.
He couldn't continue like this either. If too much time went by, the young noble might come up with a solution or those around him would start to attack him from all sides, which would put him in danger. He needed to find a way to resolve the situation.
The method was actually very simple; just some words could solve it because the current conditions were nearly right!!
"Young Master, don't you think that continuing like this will waste your precious time Regardless of how I arrived here and no matter how long before you, now that you're here, surpassing us is easy, simply walk over!" Xiaoyao dodged a move and said with a smile.
"Hmph, there's no need for words, I won't let you off!!" the young noble angrily replied, clearly very angry.
"Don't be like that; I'm just a small fry. Have you heard of me Do you know who I am" Xiaoyao said with a smile.
"No!!"
"Not knowing is better!" Xiaoyao chuckled.
"..."
"Actually, you don't need to know who I am. What you should know is that if you continue like this, your previous goal might be in vain! You chose this path because you want to get there as quickly as possible; don’t you think wasting time here conflicts with your objective" Xiaoyao continued.
"..." The young noble was speechless. He calmed down and considered it, finding that things seemed exactly as Xiaoyao said.
If he continued on like this, more time would inevitably be wasted. The time already lost was significant, but if he started moving now, it wouldn’t be a problem, and he could still get first place.
Continuing would mean that while he might still win first place, there'd be some risk; something he couldn't allow!
Although Xiaoyao's actions annoyed him, based on his intelligence, he should quickly discern what was more important and make a decision accordingly.
"Let’s go. Young man, what is your name" The young noble prepared to leave but first asked Xiaoyao's name so as to find him easily in the future.
This humiliation, he would definitely return!
"I don't like telling people my name unless you tell me yours first" Xiaoyao smiled and replied nonchalantly.
"..., I don’t want to waste time with you. Remember my name: Li Yihun, the future head of Luo Yi's Li family." Li Yihun raised his head arrogantly looking down at Xiaoyao.
The Li Family from Luo Yi had a significant background, similar to that of Yin Ruoxi’s—both were forces Xiaoyao couldn't provoke. Even if one out of Solitary Star and the others broke through, they still wouldn’t be able to stand against them unless all three succeeded in breaking through, at which point Xiaoyao would have full confidence in standing up to them.
There was no impossibility now, but it was risky. Xiaoyao could do it himself, but with Solitary Star and the others involved, he couldn’t manage. Alone, he basically had zero chance of success; there was no need to consider other options.
Luo Yi was a city as well as a country; its capital was Luo Yi City. Both Luo Yi Country and Luo Yi City were powerful entities on this land.
The Li Family was one of the more dominant forces in Luo Yi City, naturally being equally influential within Luo Yi Country. As someone claiming to be the future head of the Li Family, he was at least a candidate for that position, thus an important member of the family.
In large clans, minor figures like Xiaoyao could usually be ignored; they might have some influence but mostly would just rely on others’ power. Important members were different. Therefore, provoking Li Yihun was indeed a troublesome matter for Xiaoyao.
"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you, I am Lu Renjia. If you want revenge, come find me and remember my name!" Xiaoyao said with a smile.
"Lu Renjia Indeed a nobody; never heard of him before!" Li Yihun said disdainfully as he quickly left with his group. They couldn’t waste time now.
Li Yihun rushed towards the main family residence of Phoenix Jade Family at top speed, not only wanting to be first this year but also aiming to set a new record and become the fastest in history.
This is why he didn't think about whether Xianyao's name was a real one until much later. It wasn’t until he walked far away that he realized something was amiss, and he had been deceived!!
"You brat, you dare to trick me!!! Lu Renjia, aren’t you just a walk-on character!!!!"
Li Yihan's angry roar echoed throughout the entire forest...
*cackles* Of course I'm a walk-on character. Would I be so foolish as to tell you my name That would make it easy for you to come and cause me trouble, which is something I wouldn't do!
In contrast to Li Yihan’s rage, Xianyao was the complete opposite. He continued roasting fish; he hadn’t eaten since before, and after fighting with Li Yihan, his energy had been greatly depleted, so he needed to replenish it.
After finishing the roasted fish, Xianyao didn't leave but sat on a large rock by the riverbank. He was thinking about the battle just now and the ten moves of supreme swordsmanship that Li Yihan used.
Although Li Yihan had not fully mastered some techniques, Xianyao could still deduce them. That's why he said that there was a problem with Li Yihan’s sword skills.
The ten moves of supreme swordsmanship made him feel like he might gain some insights, so he threw himself into comprehending them. He repeatedly visualized the techniques in his mind...
This way, he learned these ten moves and discovered something new that went beyond just learning them. The comprehension of this supreme swordsmanship couldn't be simply described as 'learning'.
Though the supreme swordsmanship was complex, integrating various styles from all over the world, Xianyao had already been acquainted with many forms of swordsmanship and even other martial skills, so it wasn’t difficult for him to learn this one.
Moreover, his learning ability was always very strong, and his comprehension ability was even stronger. This was a crucial reason why he could master numerous techniques.
He quickly became immersed in the understanding process, forgetting everything around him...
If anyone else under this sky knew what supreme swordsmanship was, they would be shocked and wouldn't believe that someone who had never encountered it could learn and master ten moves of it so quickly. Moreover, he learned them from observing another person’s use of the techniques.
This was too unbelievable!
“These ten sword moves are really interesting! But there seem to be more beyond these ten; I definitely have to find out what they are!”
Xianyao opened his eyes, coming back from his comprehension. His first thought was about seeing other sword moves, even though he didn't know them. He could sense that it wouldn’t end with just these ten!
He had a misconception that supreme swordsmanship would be difficult to find and that this technique belonged exclusively to Li Yihan’s faction because the style was so exquisite; in normal circumstances, such techniques would be closely guarded secrets of their respective factions.
The idea didn't occur to him that someone could do something so extraordinary as to publicize top-tier swordsmanship for everyone to learn. With a bit of effort, anyone could master this technique!
Xianyao soon discovered this wasn’t a secret at all...
“Why are you back” Xianyao had wanted to continue his comprehension but sensed someone approaching and was puzzled.
Theoretically speaking, even if Li Yihan knew he was tricked, there was no way he would return because it would delay them significantly, which wasn’t a priority for him.
But who else could come here besides them Those choosing this route were few and far between. Could it be that someone coincidentally chose the same path
“Eh, Brother Xianyao, what are you doing here”
As Xianyao was puzzled, a loud voice sounded out, which he recognized as coming from Niu Jian!
In this place, only Niu Jian would call him brother.
If Niu Jian was here, then it meant that Yin Ruoxi was also certainly present. This was beyond doubt!
"I'm here because I’m passing through like you guys; you should have come a few days later than me. You got here so fast" Xianyao replied with a smile.
By this reasoning, Niu Jian and his group were faster than Li Yihan’s group. It was unknown how long it had been since their departure, but surely not days
"We should have come two days later than you; why are you still here Also, where is your boss" asked Niu Jian.
“She’s...” When Xianyao was about to answer, he suddenly stopped and asked, "What day of the month is it now”
"Today isn’t early in the month; it's already the eleventh," replied Niu Jian.
“…” “The eleventh… That means almost four days have passed since I was here” Xianyao remembered that when he went into meditation, it had been the afternoon of the seventh day. Now it was midday on the eleventh.e; the flute's melody might be wonderful, but without the harmony of singing, such a magical effect would not exist.This is the surprising aspect of the black snow and Red Sister, where逍遙's flute melo...
