Chen Ping's Sword
Chapter 183 - 124: Golden-Haired Demon Rat, Celestial List Talent (Part 2)
"Senior Brother, no, Tenth Senior Brother should stop fighting, the more he fights, the more embarrassing it becomes."
Someone sighed.
"What’s so embarrassing? Ninth Senior Brother’s Seven Stars Swordsmanship is so formidable... one can imagine how deep his understanding of the Sword Technique is, far surpassing even [Master] at the time. If he is willing to teach us a few moves, our strength would greatly improve."
This was someone with a discerning heart, and the gaze towards Chen Ping gradually turned fervent.
The word [Master] was uttered extremely softly, with a slight tremble.
After all, Master Gao Yue was already dead, and life had to go on, so it was understandable they sought another establishment.
In these times, just surviving was difficult, the deceased were gone, keeping the memory and gratitude in heart would suffice.
Revenge, opposition, it’s better not to think much about it.
At most, during festivals, offer some incense to Master Gao Yue, burn some paper.
Chen Ping executed just one sword move, using the True Meaning of Clear Wind to manifest the stars and moon, transforming a trace of Seven Stars Sword Intent, and it had already shattered the spirit of all the disciples of Changkong Martial Arts Hall.
If previously, their gaze towards him contained more fear than admiration, now it was nine parts admiration and one part fear.
Overflowing by three parts was hope.
Ask yourself, who wouldn’t want to follow a leader whose Sword Technique is incredibly strong, who doesn’t keep secrets, and openly says they can teach you?
Not a master, but surpasses a master. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
The way of the Jianghu, the path of Jianghu People.
The victor lives, the loser dies.
Having skills is not just to show off in front of senior brothers, to live up to the silver given by the family, but also the foundation for future livelihood, the base of prosperity and wealth.
Once skilled, no matter where you go, you are called either a young hero or a great hero, drinking large bowls of wine, eating large portions of meat, enjoying good times and beautiful scenery, having charming wives and concubines, it’s no longer a dream.
The power of hope is so immense, there wasn’t any need for Chen Ping to use elaborate language to brain....
He only needed a mere sword move to capture the hearts of all the disciples of Changkong Martial Arts Hall.
Not only Changkong Martial Arts Hall, but even the old disciples of Primordial Martial Arts Hall had their eyes fixed in a daze.
They wished they could also learn the Seven Stars Sword and consult him.
Han Xiaoru was dazed for quite a while, then shook her head, rubbed her eyes... looking at Chen Ping, who was surrounded by dozens or even hundreds of disciples, all talking flatteringly, she was momentarily speechless.
If she hadn’t personally given the original Seven Stars Sword Manual to Chen Ping, watched him study through it, perhaps, Miss Han would have believed Chen Ping had long mastered this Sword Technique.
He seemed more like an undercover agent from Changkong Martial Arts Hall than Third Senior Brother Gu Chen, having already practiced the true intent of Seven Stars Sword.
This was something Gao Yue practiced swordsmanship for a lifetime and never managed to achieve.
On the main mountain of Primordial Sect, barring the fifth-generation ancestors, no matter before or after the split, those who practiced to manifest Sword Intent, could be counted on less than five fingers, most were elders aged seventy or eighty.
"Could there really be someone who is born with knowledge?"
Han Xiaoru couldn’t help but be amazed and burst into laughter.
It’s naturally better if one’s junior brother is stronger.
On the day in the dark cave, while practicing Primordial Condensing Force Technique, he was just as amazing.
Upon hearing her say a few words, within a few breaths, he had grasped Entry, and upon checking again, he had successfully Condensed Force and was proficient in using Primordial Iron Body.
Some people are born awe-inspiring.
’In turbulent times, when Primordial Martial Arts Hall is on the brink of crisis, you need to gather people’s hearts, create a grand scene, and I will assist you.
Let’s see if we can carve out a stable territory in this chaotic region of Xingqing Prefecture.’
Han Xiaoru appeared innocent, yet she was not foolish, on the contrary, she was well aware.
Chen Ping asked her to gather disciples, confiscate Changkong Martial Arts Hall, and accumulate resources, money, and food...
This approach, he didn’t even consult the hall master Han Wushang of the Primordial Martial Arts Hall much.
What does this imply?
Put plainly, it means taking on the burden of Primordial Martial Arts Hall proactively, without consulting Han Wushang and Sima Rou, because those two are elders.
Once said, if the other side obstructed, to resist would not be right, to comply would be neither.
Just discussing with Han Xiaoru, creating a model, showing results... Surely, the two elders wouldn’t obstruct.
Han Xiaoru was very aware of this point.
She quite agreed.
Because she also understood.
Currently, the revenge from Beizhou Barbarians was imminent.
Furthermore, there was an unknown force watching Primordial Martial Arts Hall day and night, at this moment, her father was severely injured, a single misstep, the entire sect could face annihilation.
At this point, only drastic measures and strong actions could deter malevolent gazes from all sides.
To shield against overt attacks and covert threats.
In plain terms, it’s about first setting up a strong front, presenting a do-or-die stance.
For anyone wanting to target Primordial Martial Arts Hall, they’d better be prepared for a fierce retaliation.
Of course, relying on this alone, it’s still unable to ward off those probing eyes, or from others’ glancing desires, it requires someone to hold up the banner of high combat prowess.
In this regard, currently, Chen Ping is doing a great job.
...
"Go ahead and do as you wish, Master supports you."
Sima Rou said with a smile, "Fear not to tell you directly, your grandmaster due to a misstep, injured his innards, making it difficult to exert his full potential.
Should a confrontation with an Innate Expert occur, while not a death sentence, he wouldn’t have much counter capability."
"Is there no miraculous medicine for accelerating healing?"
After Possession and Stealing Fate, the technique of Sword Gang Stream was already at Entry, at this moment Chen Ping already knew:
