Chapter 22: Martial Arts Competition
Chapter 22: Martial Arts Competition
His martial arts skills are even superior to those of Master Qiu.
Cheng Yaojia stared wide-eyed at her junior uncle, who was more than ten years younger than her, with disbelief.
My heart was filled with shock.
Everyone knows that among her senior martial arts masters, Senior Martial Arts Master Qiu is the strongest.
Now her master is telling her that this Uncle Qian is even better than Uncle Qiu, isn't that too exaggerated!
The key issue is the age of this junior uncle. Isn't he a little too young? If Master hadn't insisted that he was her Uncle Qian, she would have thought he was one of her junior nephews!
Seeing that he had already explained himself so clearly, yet Cheng Yaojia was still standing there in a daze, Sun Bu'er became anxious and said:
"Yaojia, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and pay your respects to your Uncle Qian."
Hearing her master's urging, Cheng Yaojia finally came to her senses. Although she was utterly shocked, she still quickly bowed to Qian Jin and said:
"Disciple Cheng Yaojia greets Uncle Qian."
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin smiled and said:
"Haha, no need for such formalities, Junior Nephew Cheng."
My senior sister Sun just said that, so if I don't teach her a martial art, I'll seem too inconsiderate.
"Alright then, after this martial arts tournament, you can come find me, and I will teach you a superior martial art."
Upon hearing that her junior uncle was going to teach her superior martial arts, Cheng Yaojia was overjoyed and quickly thanked Qian Jin again.
Wang Chuyi, Hao Datong, and others, who were not far away, all looked at Sun Bu'er with envy when they saw that he had brought such a great opportunity to his apprentice with just a few words.
However, since Sun Bu'er had just finished speaking, they naturally couldn't be so shameless as to call their apprentices over and ask Qian Jin for guidance.
Sun Bu'er, having received the benefit, was even happier. Then, seeing Yang Guo, Qian Jin's disciple, she became more thoughtful and said:
"Fellow senior brothers, Yang Guo, the disciple of Junior Brother Qian, is still young and has just entered the sect. He has only been learning martial arts from Junior Brother Qian for a few months."
If we were to let him compete with our disciples, it would be too unfair and difficult to assess his true skill level.
Therefore, in my opinion, it would be better to let Yang Guo practice martial arts with the fourth-generation disciples first, and then let him compete with the third-generation disciples after his martial arts have improved.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Chuji nodded first and said:
"What Junior Sister Sun said is very true. Yang Guo has not been practicing martial arts for very long. It would be unfair to make him fight against third-generation disciples."
Therefore, I agree with Junior Sister Sun's suggestion. I wonder what the other senior brothers and sisters think?
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. Finally, Ma Yu smiled at Qian Jin and said:
"Junior Brother Qian, we've been talking for so long, and we haven't even asked for your opinion yet!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin said:
"Guo'er's time in the martial arts world is indeed too short. Even if he has some talent in martial arts, he is still far inferior to the disciples of his senior brothers and sisters."
If they were to actually fight, it would inevitably damage his confidence. Having him fight a fourth-generation disciple is the best course of action.
Upon hearing this, Ma Yu nodded. Then, seeing that the young Taoist priest who had just won was about the same age as Yang Guo, he thought it would be a good opportunity for Yang Guo to have a match.
So he reached out and beckoned Yang Guo over, saying:
"Guo'er, you haven't been learning martial arts from Junior Brother Qian for very long, so why don't you participate in the competition between fourth-generation disciples first!"
After saying that, he pointed at the young Taoist priest in the arena and continued:
"He's not much older than you, so why don't you go down and have a match with him!"
Yang Guo had been diligently practicing martial arts every day, and now he finally had the opportunity to show his skills.
Upon hearing this, he naturally bowed and accepted the order, then went down to the arena to compete with the young Taoist priest.
Among all martial arts, Qian Jin has the deepest understanding of the Haotian Palm, and has already cultivated it to the eighth level on the proficiency panel, achieving consummate skill.
Therefore, when teaching Yang Guo, he could always pinpoint the essence of the Clear Sky Palm, allowing Yang Guo to progress extremely quickly.
Although he has only practiced for a few months, he has already mastered the Haotian Palm technique to an extremely high level.
Once unleashed, it immediately routed the young Taoist priest, who was forced to retreat in defeat.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this.
Ma Yu had asked Yang Guo to fight that young Taoist priest because Yang Guo had only been practicing martial arts for a short time and had no martial arts foundation. He was afraid that Yang Guo would lose badly if he went up there.
Even if everyone knows what happened, it's still hard to save face for Qianjin.
To everyone's surprise, Yang Guo's progress was so rapid that it was something Yang Guo had never dared to imagine before.
Either Yang Guo was a martial arts prodigy, a once-in-a-century talent, or Qian Jin's ability to teach his disciples had reached an unbelievable level.
Between the two, Ma Yu prefers the latter.
If that's the case, then whether the Quanzhen Sect can regain its former glory in the future will probably depend on this junior brother.
Ma Yu blinked, and a number of thoughts immediately formed in her mind.
"good!"
Unlike Ma Yu, Qiu Chuji's way of expressing himself was much more straightforward.
Seeing that Yang Guo could perform the Clear Sky Palm technique with such precision, he couldn't help but praise him, and then added:
"Junior Brother Qian, I never imagined that not only are you highly skilled in martial arts, but you are also better than us at teaching your disciples."
With Guo'er's rapid progress, he will likely secure a place among the third-generation disciples in just a few years.
Upon hearing this, Wang Chuyi and the others congratulated Qian Jin and praised his ability to teach his apprentices.
Upon seeing this, Qian Jin immediately returned the gifts one by one, and then told the truth:
"My fellow disciples are too kind. I have no skill in teaching disciples. Guo'er's achievements are all the result of his own hard work."
However, despite this, everyone still thought that these words were just Qian Jin's humble remarks.
If it weren't for Junior Brother Qian's excellent teaching, how could Yang Guo have mastered the Haotian Palm technique to such a high degree?
……
According to the rules of the martial arts tournament, after winning a match, a disciple can choose to leave the arena to rest or stay and continue to accept challenges from fellow disciples.
Yang Guo, being young and competitive, naturally wouldn't let the opportunity to prove himself slip by.
So he stayed in the arena, waiting for other disciples to come up and challenge him.
In the blink of an eye, Yang Guo had won three consecutive matches, and each one was a resounding victory.
Seeing this, Qian Jin didn't intend to let Yang Guo steal the spotlight.
After all, even though Yang Guo was still young, he was still a third-generation disciple of the Quanzhen Sect. Even if he defeated many fourth-generation disciples in the martial arts tournament, it would not be a glorious thing.
So he prepared to speak up and call Yang Guo back.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, Lu Qingdu suddenly jumped into the arena and said loudly to Yang Guo:
"Lu Qingdu, a fourth-generation disciple, has come today to ask Uncle Yang for some sword techniques."
