Chapter 540: A Trial of the Sky-Splitting Stick
Chu Xiaomu said: "In that case, I will compete with Master Gong."
Jin Lier clapped her hands and said with a smile, "That's great. Yesterday I was sitting in Wuhuang Tower, which was quite far from the arena, so I couldn't see Young Brother Lin very clearly. Today I can feast my eyes on him."
Chu Xiaomu couldn't help but laugh secretly, thinking that Jin Li'er was still young after all, and had a childish mentality. Well, I will compete with Master Gong again, and you will have nothing to say.
Jin Lier was very happy and led the way, leading Chu Xiaomu and Gong Shukang to a small open space. Several attendants followed behind.
Jin Lier stood between Chu Xiaomu and Gong Shukang and said, "Before the competition, I have to make three rules. Brother Lin, do you have any objections?"
Chu Xiaomu said: "Of course I have no objection."
"Well, the first rule is that you cannot damage anything in my garden."
"The second rule is to stop when you have reached a certain point. You must not hurt anyone, and you must not even think about killing them."
"The third rule is that you should not only compete in your Force, but also in your martial arts skills, so that outsiders will not say that our Jinyang City's Great Jin Wei is only strong but his martial arts are a mess. Brother Lin, what do you think?"
Chu Xiaomu thought to himself, I only know a few moves of the Dragon Spine Sword Style, which only a few people in the Green City Army know. If I use it, I'm afraid you will recognize it. It seems that I can only use the earth-type spiritual power to control Master Gong. In short, I can only win and not lose. I have to snatch this Golden Guard first.
He nodded and said of course.
Jin Lier stepped aside and told the servant to hand the wooden sword to Chu Xiaomu.
Chu Xiaomu took it without thinking.
Gong Shukang shook the walking stick in his hand, and it turned into a stick about six or seven feet long. He swung it forward and shouted, "Master Lin, let's get started now."
Chu Xiaomu nodded and went forward with a wooden sword in hand.
Gong Shukang's moves are not very complicated. The stick in his hand can only be used to chop, sweep, pick, poke, press, twist, block and parry. Each move is well-organized.
Chu Xiaomu blocked it casually, dealing with it quite easily, and occasionally even counterattacked one or two moves. He infused the sword with the Force and wood-phase spiritual power, and the wooden sword became heavy and tough.
His original force has been fully unlocked, and it is just as Xuan Youzhu said, he has "the strength of a giant elephant and a bear, and the agility of a nimble monkey and an eagle." He can now easily handle many postures and movements that were previously impossible or difficult to do.
In addition, he has a very good comprehension. He has watched many fights in recent days. After watching the competition between You Ganzhan, He Cang and Shi Yuantai, he has gained a lot of insights into some advanced martial arts moves, which are also quite effective when applied to swordsmanship.
In particular, his understanding of the Dragon Spine Sword Style became more profound. Before he opened the Force, he did not understand the moves in it, thinking that it was too simple and plain, and it was not in line with its famous reputation. After opening the Force, he was in awe of some of the moves, thinking that the general's martial arts was indeed unfathomable, and he could create such a magical sword style.
Gong Shukang's stick was as fierce as a tiger, while Chu Xiaomu's sword was as fierce as a dragon. With their vigorous energy, the two fought fiercely in an open space surrounded by rockery, flowers and plants.
If Chu Xiaomu had used 40% of his original force, he would have won the competition early. But Jin Lier said that this competition was not only about original force, but also about martial arts skills, so it would not be easy for him to win.
Besides, he couldn't win too easily, so as not to arouse suspicion from people like Jin Li'er.
The two fought for a while, and Gong Shukang's moves became faster and faster, and the power of the stick became heavier, as if it was added with earth-attribute spiritual power.
Chu Xiaomu's response speed also gradually increased. However, he had a deep spiritual power and could sense that Gong Shukang had not cultivated his spiritual power, or in other words, he had not used his spiritual power.
After fighting for a while, he felt the force of Gong Shukang's stick becoming heavier and heavier. However, in Chu Xiaomu's opinion, these forces were like ants to elephants and ripples to the waves. They were not considered the original force at all. He parried and neutralized all the stick moves of Zhang Qianyuan, but because the opponent's moves were too fast, he could not easily counterattack.
Jin Lier smiled and said, "Brother Lin, you have to work hard. It's not easy to become the Jinwei of our Jinyang City."
The beard on Gong Shukang's face almost stood up. He hit faster and faster, and a strange sound came from both ends of the long stick, rumbling, as if there was a conch at each end.
The two fought for a while, and Gong Shukang's moves changed drastically. Suddenly, a stick shadow floated, and a long stick that could split the sky swept over diagonally, while he shouted, "Master Lin, you lose!"
The direction and force of this stick were extremely strange, and the speed was extremely fast. It would be difficult to resolve it unless you were an experienced martial artist.
Without thinking, Chu Xiaomu used the "Swimming Dragon Spine" move from the Horizontal Dragon Spine Sword Style. His body was as graceful as a flying swan and his sword was as powerful as a swimming dragon. With twists and turns, the tip of the sword reached Gong Shukang's throat.
The long stick that Gong Shukang swept over was half an inch away from Chu Xiaomu's shoulder and stopped abruptly in mid-air.
The beard on Gong Shukang's face that had been standing up suddenly drooped down like a deflated ball. He said, "Master Lin's force and martial arts skills are better than mine. Gong Shukang admits defeat."
Jin Li'er was delighted, clapping her hands and saying, "Young Brother Lin is really amazing. You Ganzhan, that girl, loves fighting the most, but she took the initiative to admit defeat in front of you. It seems that she knows very well that she cannot beat you."
Chu Xiaomu was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that if he hadn't used the Dragon Spine Sword Style, he would have already lost. He said, "It was a bit of luck that I won, Master Jin, please don't praise me."
Jin Li'er's eyes kept scanning Chu Xiaomu's face and said, "Brother Lin's last move, I guess it should be the Dragon Spine Style of the Dragon Spine Sword Style, right?"
Chu Xiaomu's heart suddenly skipped a beat, thinking, could it be that she saw something? He used the Dragon Spine Sword Style in a hurry, and it might ruin the situation!
Seeing Chu Xiaomu's expression change again, Jin Li'er suddenly chuckled and said, "No matter what moves he uses, as long as he wins, it's a great skill. It seems that this position of Jinwei belongs to you."
Chu Xiaomu was overjoyed. He handed the wooden sword to a servant of Jin Lier behind him and asked, "Master Jin, do you agree that I will be the commander of the Jin Army?"
Jin Lier smiled and said, "Didn't we agree on this yesterday? As long as you win three battles in one go, you will be the Jinwei of Jinyang City. I can't break my promise in front of the people of the city."
Chu Xiaomu felt something was wrong the more he thought about it. He felt that he had been teased by Jin Lier, or rather, that he was being played around by her. He asked, "But why did Miss Jin invite me to your place for a drink and a meal? Why did you want another competition?"
Jin Lier asked back: "What do you think?"
Chu Xiaomu cried out secretly, thinking that since Jin Li'er knew that I was at Huang Wu Baoguan's residence, she must have seen Xiaoying and Jinglan. Could it be that she led me away to attack them?
