Chapter 104: The Style of a True Disciple
It took Xu Yichen a long time to regain his composure.
He was not defeated by the blow, but became more and more courageous, and secretly competed with Lu Yu.
While he asked Zhao Yanwu to pay attention to Lu Yu's entry speed, he worked hard to comprehend the classics and practice the techniques. He learned and practiced the techniques faster than trying to figure out who was studying and practicing. He learned more techniques and completed them to a higher degree.
This was an extremely fierce competition. Although Lu Yu had no idea about it, it did not affect the excitement of the competition at all.
Xu Yichen worked hard and raced against time, just to defeat Lu Yu and drive away his inner demons.
Before I knew it, three days had passed.
Xu Yichen felt that he was making rapid progress. From being completely at a disadvantage at the beginning, to gradually gaining the upper hand, this process of competing with Lu Yu was also a process of his self-challenge.
"Senior Brother Xu, I've been staring at Lu Yu for most of the day, and he still hasn't understood any of the secret books..."
Zhao Yanwu said as he conveyed the news to Xu Yichen.
"It seems that he is exhausted! Maybe he just had better luck at the beginning. Compared with his natural understanding, this person is no match for senior brother! Senior brother Xu has already comprehended five secret books in a row. Well, he hasn’t even chosen which secret book to study!”
After listening to Zhao Yanwu's report, Xu Yichen couldn't help but smile.
The road of cultivation is like a journey of thousands of miles. It is useless to compare who can go faster. What is more important is to compare who can go further.
In this battle without edge, there was no doubt that he was the ultimate winner, and in the process, he not only defeated Lu Yu, but also defeated himself.
Since then, Xu Yichen's inner demons have disappeared.
Moreover, he is more confident than before. This time, he can definitely understand the Thunder Sword Technique in one fell swoop.
"From now on, you don't have to pay attention to him anymore!"
"We are just defeated, we should continue to concentrate on understanding the general outline of Thunder Sword Technique!"
Xu Yichen said proudly.
"Yes Yes Yes!"
Zhao Yanwu responded with joy.
In his opinion, Xu Yichen's constant attention to the disciple named Lu Yu was a fuss over a molehill and unnecessary.
What is Lu Yu's identity? He is just a small inner disciple. No matter how hard he works, what powerful skills can he master?
But Senior Brother Xu is the core disciple of Tangtang, one of the thirteen on the Qingyun Ranking. What he wants to understand is also the powerful martial arts and Taoist secrets such as Thunder Sword Technique. There is no comparison between the two.
The reason why he stayed in the Scripture Depository Tower and listened to Xu Yichen's orders was not just to please him, but more importantly, he could participate in the whole process of Xu Yichen's understanding of the Thunder Sword Technique, which would also play a role in his future cultivation. Of great benefit.
So when Xu Yichen said that he should ignore Lu Yu and concentrate on understanding the general outline of the Thunder Sword Technique, he naturally agreed with both hands.
Unexpectedly, they didn't want to pay attention to each other, but they bumped into each other again at this time.
Just like before, the secret book in Lu Yu's hand was exactly what Xu Yichen needed.
"Boy, Senior Brother Xu wants this secret book. Please give it to Senior Brother Xu first!"
Zhao Yanwu said unceremoniously.
Lu Yu had already read all the classics in the general catalog of Star Sword Art. At this time, he was already in a state of looking for a needle in a haystack. He was not sure that this secret book was what he needed for Star Sword Art. It would have been okay even if he let Xu Yichen read it first.
But the other party's tone made him frown slightly.
"Why?"
Zhao Yanwu said angrily: "Why? Just because we have given up to you once before, it's time for you to give up to us this time!"
"You let me go once?"
Lu Yu couldn't help crying or laughing.
"If I remember correctly, you guys came here after I got the secret book first and was flipping through it both times. Why did you let me tell you?"
Zhao Yanwu snorted coldly: "You are obviously trying to make excuses. The last time you read the book "Eighteen Swords of Wind and Thunder", how long did Senior Brother Xu wait for you? Don't you know how long it was?"
Lu Yu suddenly felt that his eyes were opened. According to the first-come, first-served principle, Xu Yichen waited for him to finish reading, which was what he should have done, but he didn't expect that in the eyes of the other party, this was actually a great gift to him.
This shows how aloof and arrogant these people are on weekdays.
Lu Yu chuckled and looked at Xu Yichen aside.
"Senior Brother Xu, do you think so too?"
Xu Yichen said proudly: "If Junior Brother Lu has not finished reading, I can wait for you a little longer, but I can only wait for you for half a moment at most. If it exceeds this time, then there is nothing I can do..."
Lu Yu raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean there is no way? Could it be that Senior Brother Xu is planning to do something to me?"
Xu Yichen smiled coldly: "Senior Brother Lu, I advise you that it is best not to know!"
The scene suddenly became stalemate, and the two sides were at war with each other.
Just at this moment, a graceful figure walked over and was stunned for a moment when he saw the formations of both sides.
"What are you doing?"
Lu Yu was startled, wasn't this the true disciple he met on the fifth floor before? She couldn't run away no matter what
Xu Yichen's reaction was beyond Lu Yu's expectations. He immediately put away his momentum, turned around and bowed to the woman.
"Yichen meets Senior Sister."
Senior sister?
Lu Yu couldn't help but feel moved. He remembered that Fang Qian had introduced to him that the only true disciple of Cuizhu Peak was a woman named Jiang Feiyan.
It turned out that this woman was Jiang Feiyan...
"Are you fighting for this "Chasing the Sun Chain Sword" secret book?"
Jiang Feiyan's smart eyes swept through and immediately figured out the whole story of the scene.
"Junior Brother Xu, are you planning to comprehend the Thunder Sword Art?"
"Yes."
Jiang Feiyan said seriously: "To comprehend the Thunder Sword Art, you do need this "Chasing the Sun Chain Sword", but this secret book is already in the hands of this junior brother. You just need to wait, how can you bully the weak?"
"Do you think that you are comprehending the Thunder Sword Art, which is superior to other skills?"
"Or have you forgotten how we at Cuizhu Peak teach our disciples?"
Xu Yichen trembled and sweated all over.
"Yichen dare not... Yichen knows his mistake..."
Lu Yu couldn't help but be stunned.
He didn't expect that the elder sister of Cuizhu Peak would be so impartial and reprimand her junior brother in front of him. This style of behavior is completely different from her junior brothers.
Jiang Feiyan moved her eyes to Lu Yu and asked, "Have you given up the set of sword tactics fragments?"
Lu Yu shook his head.
Jiang Feiyan smiled lightly: "It's just as I thought. From the way you looked at the set of sword tactics fragments, I knew you wouldn't give up so easily. I hope you can wake up earlier under the blow of reality..."
"Since you haven't given up the set of sword tactics fragments, then I can tell you clearly that this set of "Chasing the Sun Chain Sword" has nothing to do with the set of sword tactics fragments. Can you let me read it first?"
Lu Yu asked curiously: "Do you also want to comprehend the Thunder Sword Art?"
Jiang Feiyan shook her head, her tone was calm but arrogant: "A Thunder Sword Art is not worth my comprehending in this Sutra Tower for a whole year."
Lu Yu couldn't help but be stunned.
Originally, he thought that he was already very impressive for staying in the tower for three consecutive days, but he didn't expect that compared with this true disciple, he was not even a fraction of it.
But what kind of Taoism is worth her spending a whole year to comprehend? Could it be the top thirty-six wonderful methods?
Lu Yu handed the secret book to her, but she didn't rush to read it, but handed it to Xu Yichen.
"Junior brother Xu, first come first served, you read it first! Give it to me after you finish reading it!"
Xu Yichen quickly refused: "Senior sister's matter is more urgent, so you go first!"
Jiang Feiyan didn't refuse, and immediately flipped through the book in front of the three people.
She flipped through the book very quickly, almost reading ten lines at a glance, and the rustling sound of turning pages kept coming to her ears.
Lu Yu couldn't help but wonder, did she see the words clearly in this way?
"Okay!"
After a moment, Jiang Feiyan closed the secret book.
Lu Yu was surprised. From his perspective, the woman just quickly flipped through the book once, and she had finished reading it?
Jiang Feiyan ignored the gazes of several people, handed the secret book to Xu Yichen, and then turned and left in a hurry.
In the field, the remaining three people stood there, staring at her leaving back in amazement.
Is this the demeanor of a true disciple?
For the first time, Lu Yu felt a yearning for the true disciples.
