Chapter 111, 110: This boy has the potential to become a grandmaster! (Four chapters, 10,000 words, please vote!)
Jiuyang Martial Arts School is located on the banks of the Feng River and occupies a very large area.
The origin of the name "Jiuyang" is quite profound.
Feng Jingxian's proudest achievement was destroying the Kushan Kingdom, incorporating its territory into the Great Zhou Dynasty, and renaming it Jiuyang City, using "Yang" to suppress "Shuang".
Standing in front of the martial arts school gate, which could accommodate eight horses side by side, Ren Qingshan looked at the huge gate tower with couplets written on both sides.
First line: A three-foot sword slays seven innate beings, treads through Kushan, protects the homeland. Second line: Nine Yang Skill warms three thousand children, nurtures the spring breeze, glorifies the homeland. Horizontal scroll: The invincible general Ren Qingshan's Adam's apple bobbed, he swallowed his saliva—he felt a little sour.
Putting aside whether it rhymes or not, whether it matches the rhyme scheme, or whether it's flattery, this thing—it's just too cool!
As long as the Great Zhou Dynasty remains, the old general's illustrious name will endure forever, lasting as long as the nation.
Which man could resist such temptation?
His name is recorded in the national history, his family genealogy is separate, and he even managed to sleep with the queen.
Jiang Shi'an sniffed, fell silent, bowed respectfully towards the door, and stepped inside.
The doorman checked my ID card.
Ren Qingshan and he walked in side by side.
Unlike the martial arts school I had imagined, upon entering the gate, I was greeted by a huge training ground. In the center of the ground was a group of bronze figures with a metallic sheen, a total of 108 people, arranged in a peculiar formation, each with a different posture, resembling a military formation.
There seemed to be mechanisms beneath the bronze figures' feet that could connect them to each other.
There are two side paths on either side, which can be used to detour.
Before the Bronze Men Formation stood a stone tablet, the gist of which was that those who lacked the ability to walk on either side but possessed the ability to walk through the Bronze Men Formation could be accepted as Feng Jingxian's last disciple.
This formation has been established for twenty-seven years, and only two people have passed through it.
The first person, named Lu Yuan, was twenty-one years old. After passing through this formation, he entered the Innate Realm and later became the top martial arts scholar.
The second person, named Xu Leshan, is nineteen years old. Before entering the Xiantian realm, he also passed the martial arts examination by passing this formation and became the top martial arts scholar. Now he is one of the leaders of the Emperor's personal guards.
Jiang Shi'an looked at the inscription on the monument, his facial muscles twitching slightly, and immediately walked towards the path on the left.
If you can't handle it, then forget it!
The next instant, his eyes widened suddenly.
Ren Qingshan had already entered the bronze statue formation.
"Green Mountain!"
99
He called out urgently, slightly flustered.
Ren Qingshan ignored it and stepped into the bronze man formation. He felt the mechanism under his feet make a sound. The first bronze man's fist came like the wind. He stepped on a set of peculiar footwork, which made him look extremely agile. At the same time, the force was heavy and the exquisite moves completely blocked all paths.
He pushed the bronze figure aside, and Ren Qingshan tested its strength. It was immense and as stable as Mount Tai.
The bronze man's attack was even fiercer, his punches flying like the wind—this was only the first one, and it was already considered hellish in difficulty.
If Pang Ziqian were to see this, he would probably be overjoyed.
Ren Qingshan dodged left and right, using minimal force to overcome great strength, darting and weaving through the wind of the punches like a falling leaf, extremely agile.
Although no flaws could be seen in the bronze man's moves, with his "eagle eye" level of comprehension, he still found the only correct route and quickly dodged past it.
It's over.
Just as they passed this bronze figure, three more bronze figures attacked from behind, launching a coordinated and seamless attack.
One person throws a punch, two people throw kicks, forming a three-person formation, completely surrounding the approaching person.
Three people, six hands and six legs, one hundred and thirty-nine variations.
Ren Qingshan saw through all the changes, his expression calm. He lightly touched the ground with his toes, found the only correct path again in the gap between the three bronze figures, and leaped over it without any trace of human activity.
There are seven behind them.
Holding a sword in hand, the Seven Star Sword Formation.
At his feet lay a knife, made of the same material as the knives held by the seven bronze figures.
Ren Qingshan drew his knife and immediately entered.
Although the bronze statue formation is ingeniously designed, it is ultimately rigid. With my current martial arts level, I can pass through a few more levels even without using my true energy.
At this time.
Two young men walked in through the door, both dressed in the uniform of the Jiuyang Martial Arts School. They had an extraordinary air about them. Seeing someone trying to break through the bronze man formation, they stopped to take a look out of curiosity.
"New here? Is this your friend?"
A martial artist with sword-like eyebrows and a piercing gaze bowed and asked with a smile.
Jiang Shi'an immediately exchanged pleasantries with him, introduced himself, and introduced Ren Qingshan, while also learning about their backgrounds.
The person on the left is called Feng Xingze, and the person on the right is called Feng Xingye. They are both grandsons of Feng Jingxian.
The three chatted as they watched.
"I remember Ren Qingshan suffered severe internal injuries? Now he's switched to external martial arts?"
-
Feng Xingze asked with a smile.
Such incidents are not uncommon, and Ren Qingshan's reputation is not particularly high, so he is not worth Ren Qingshan's attention. However, due to the "Liu Family Case" some time ago...
Yes, I've heard of it.
"Yes, alas, the heavens are jealous of talent. Qingshan could be said to be the number one martial arts genius in Huaiyin County in recent years, but unfortunately—"
Jiang Shi'an sighed.
"It's a real pity."
"It's clear that he had achieved great success in martial arts in the past, and his moves were exceptionally exquisite."
In the midst of the battle.
Ren Qingshan fought seven bronze men with his sword. Although he was at a disadvantage, he remained disciplined and composed, displaying his superb swordsmanship.
"Ha, he's about to pass!"
Seeing that Ren Qingshan had fought seven men single-handedly for over a hundred rounds, the three men had clearly discovered the secrets of the Seven Star Blade Formation. They first stabbed the wrist of one of the bronze figures, knocking the blade away, and then repeated the process, knocking away the blades of the other six men one by one.
"Excellent swordsmanship!"
"Next up is a stick fighting match! It's called the 'Intimidation Stick'! Be careful! Don't get your head bleeding!"
Feng Xingye laughed and shouted.
The first three matches were difficult, but the fourth match was extremely difficult. Although there was only one bronze-level warrior, he possessed the power of the Visceral Realm and his staff technique had reached its perfect peak.
Even if a disciple has his true qi protecting him, if he is hit, he will still suffer cuts and even fractures.
Even he himself has not yet passed the test.
Ren Qingshan did not turn around. He picked up the wooden stick from the ground and calmly looked at the iron rod in the bronze figure's hand.
boom!
The bronze figure brought down its staff with tremendous force, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
Ren Qingshan dodged gracefully and beautifully, only to see the bronze man immediately change his iron rod from smashing to sweeping, as fast as lightning!
If this blow hits, at least one leg will be crippled!
At this moment, Ren Qingshan felt an incomparably wonderful feeling and an exceptionally strong intuition. With a light thrust of the wooden stick, seemingly casually, he precisely pierced the middle of the bronze stick, demonstrating ultimate control. Using this as support, he slightly leaped up, maintaining his balance, and flew towards the bronze figure's face, gracefully landing on its neck.
The bronze figure wielded its iron rod wildly, its momentum like that of a tiger, creating a howling wind and shaking the ground.
But they all followed the same routine.
There's absolutely nothing we can do about the person above us.
The three of them were stunned by what they saw.
"Brother, is this... right?"
Feng Xingze looked at Feng Xingye and asked quietly.
Since its inception, the Bronze Man Formation has never seen such a response; it is almost like cheating.
But this line of thinking is so imaginative and astonishing.
"If it passes, then it's correct."
"Riding on the bronze statue's neck isn't difficult; the difficulty lies in how to get on it. I couldn't do that move just now."
Feng Xingye looked at his arm, goosebumps rising on his skin. That move just now was extremely beautiful, making his whole body feel like it was being electrocuted, and even causing him to tremble slightly.
Master!
This Ren Qingshan is definitely a master!
Even if he practices external martial arts, he's still a master!
The three were focused on watching and did not notice that two figures silently entered from outside the door.
One of them is their grandfather, Feng Jingxian.
The other is the head instructor of the martial arts school, Gongshu Ce, whose hair is gray and he is already over sixty years old.
Gongshu Ce has been Feng Jingxian's right-hand man for many years and is also the designer of this bronze man formation.
"good!"
at this time.
When Gongshu Ce saw the people in the formation cleverly deal with the bronze cudgel, he exclaimed in surprise—this solution seemed absurd and ridiculous, but it was ingenious. Its strange thinking and wonderful timing were no less than those of the previous two!
Moreover, it is clear that the current strength of this person in the formation is inferior to that of the two former martial arts champions.
Taking advantage of weakness to achieve one's advantage is even more rare.
The loud shout startled the three of them. When they came to their senses, they bowed respectfully.
"grandfather!"
"Grandpa Gongshu!"
Feng Jingxian waved his hand and looked at Gongshu Ce: "Don't worry, this child's true energy is ruined. Now he can only practice external martial arts."
Gongshu Ce frowned slightly.
But she smiled in an instant.
My eyes are brighter. I take a deep breath.
"You heal him!"
"This boy's martial arts skills are divine; he already possesses the potential to become a grandmaster! Given time, he could very well become another martial arts champion!"
Feng Jingxian looked at him helplessly, shook his head and smiled: "I took 50,000 taels of silver from him, and now I have to pay him back 500,000 taels? It's clearly because your bronze man formation was poorly designed that this cunning little devil was able to exploit the loopholes."
Gongshu Ce, like a mischievous old man, stomped his feet in anger and cursed, "Bullshit! My Bronze Man Formation is exquisite and invincible, how could it go wrong? You try that move, can you do it? You old scoundrel who spends all day visiting brothels, have you lost your mind?"
Seeing the two old people arguing like children —
The three younger members looked down at their toes, not daring to raise their heads or speak.
I felt like laughing again.
It was also incredibly moving.
Unexpectedly, Grandpa Gongshu had such a high opinion of Ren Qingshan!
You should know that, whether back then or now, Grandpa Gongshu can be called the number one sage of Fengcheng Prefecture!
It excels in organization, military strategy, tactics, martial arts, and understanding human nature!
The two martial arts champions from Jiuyang Martial Arts School were both exceptionally talented and hardworking, but they were both trained by him personally.
Even her aunt's crime-solving skills were learned from the "Great Strategy" written by her grandfather Gongshu but kept secret. She only learned less than 30% of it, yet she was already a master at solving cases.
On his very first day at the martial arts school, Ren Qingshan was showered with such immense wealth!
