The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 247 Joint Education, Half-year Rotation
The atmosphere in the tent was weird and intense.

Han Baoju, the third of the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan, could not hold back his temper. He slapped the ground in front of him, leaned forward, and said viciously, "Since we can't reach an agreement verbally, let's use martial arts to determine who is better. Whoever wins will be Guo Jing's master!"

Several others responded.

"Well said, let's have a competition!"

"We are Jianghu people, so we follow the rules of Jianghu."

"Mr. Xu, do you dare to compete?!"

Even Han Xiaoying was there, loudly challenging him to a fight.

Xu Xingchen glanced at the seven people and thought to himself, "Given your martial arts skills, my victory was not fair."

However, he knew in his heart that although the martial arts of these seven guys in front of him were not good, and their ability to teach disciples was even more disappointing, their education in how to be a human being played a crucial role in shaping Guo Jing's early character.

Therefore, no matter what, the seven of them had to be involved.

Thinking of this, he was about to say something when Li Ping beside him suddenly spoke up: "Heroes of the martial arts world, if you fight each other because of my son's apprenticeship, it is the fault of us mother and son."

At this point, she swept her eyes around the eight people, and said with a firm look: "Please all heroes give up the competition. Otherwise, I would rather let my son not become my disciple to learn martial arts than to see any of you get hurt and bleed."

Li Ping is just an ordinary woman and she doesn't have any martial arts skills, but the decisive attitude she showed when she said this is enough to impress people.

"Mrs. Guo, please rest assured that I will not compete with the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan in martial arts." Xu Xingchen rode his donkey downhill and took the lead in expressing his attitude. Then he turned his head and looked at the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan opposite him: "Seven of you, there is no need for us to argue about who is suitable to be Guo Jing's master. How about this, we can all be Guo Jing's masters"

"When Guo Jing becomes your disciple, we will teach him martial arts separately. You teach him one day and I teach him the other day. How about that?"

Hearing these words, the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan couldn't help but frown. They looked at Li Ping who was determined, and then at Xu Xingchen who looked like he was compromising. Even if they had thousands of words in their hearts, they couldn't say them.

After a while, Zhu Cong, the talented scholar, noticed that the atmosphere in the tent was a little tense, so he said, "Let us brothers discuss this."

Soon, today's meeting ended in a bad mood.

As night fell, Xu Xingchen returned to his tent in the wild to spend the night.

The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan also lit a bonfire in the wild, grilling the beef and mutton they had exchanged from the tribe while talking about what had happened during the day.

"Brother, what do you think of this? That kid named Xu actually found Li Ping and her son before us, and even accepted Guo Jing as his apprentice. Isn't all our hard work over the past few years in vain?"

"Who would have thought that Cheng Yaojin would show up unexpectedly and succeed in his attack?"

"In my opinion, let that boy be Guo Jing's master. Anyway, we have found Li Ping and her son and confirmed their safety. Now we should return to the Central Plains and report to Qiu Chuji and admit defeat."

"That's right. Although the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan are not well-known, they are also brave heroes in the martial arts world. It's not embarrassing to admit defeat."

"Ah, come to think of it, I haven't had the cakes from Jiaxing or the wine from Yanyu Tower for a long time."

Except for the eldest brother Ke Zhenwu and the second brother Zhu Cong, the third, fourth, fifth and sixth brothers were discussing enthusiastically, and their words all showed that they wanted to back out.

After listening for a long time, the seventh brother Han Xiaoying was really unconvinced and shouted, "Brothers, what are you talking about? We finally found Li Ping and her son. How can we give up so easily?"

"What's so great about that Xu? He uses a sword, and I use a sword. If we were to fight, he wouldn't necessarily be able to defeat my Yue Girl Sword."

Looking at the high-spirited and high-spirited Old Seven, the others looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

At this time, the eldest brother Ke Zhenwu spoke with a twitching face: "You guys keep saying discouraging words. It is unreasonable for us brothers to give up halfway when doing something. Since that boy said that we can become Guo Jing's master together, then we should do as he wishes and agree to it."

The third brother, Han Baoju, immediately shouted, "Boss, it's easy to agree to this, but how can we teach Guo Jing martial arts every day?"

The fourth brother, Nan Xiren, also said, "Boss, to practice martial arts, one must practice hard in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer, and practice diligently and persevere. The martial arts we are teaching are different from those taught by that kid. By then, I'm afraid Guo Jing won't be able to learn anything."

The fifth, Zhang Ahsheng, touched his bald head and muttered something fair: "Well, in fact, if the seven of us were to be Guo Jing's masters, I'm afraid that the martial arts we would teach would be different. By then, I'm afraid that Guo Jing would still not be able to learn anything."

"Fifth brother, how can this be the same?" The sixth brother, all wearing golden hair, shouted, "If the seven of us were to be Guo Jing's masters, we could discuss and teach him together."

The seventh Han Xiaoying suddenly said, "I heard from Sister Guo that Xu didn't want to live in the tribe and lived alone outside. I will find where he lives and secretly challenge him at night. Humph, as long as I defeat him with swordsmanship in person, he will definitely leave the desert in shame."

"Seventh sister, stop messing around!" The second oldest, Zhu Cong, stopped Han Xiaoying from trying and asked calmly, "You secretly go to challenge Master Xu. What if you lose? Should we all fight together?"

Han Xiaoying pouted unconvincedly: "Brother, we haven't competed before, how do you know I will lose?"

Zhu Cong shook his head and said, "From what he said today, he has been wandering alone in the northern grasslands for as long as we have." "The conflicts on this grassland are several times more intense than those in the Central Plains. That kid has been able to live here peacefully for six years. He must have fought with others countless times just like us."

"Doesn't this prove that his martial arts are not simple?!"

There was a flicker of unconvinced look in Han Xiaoying's eyes, but she didn't open her mouth to refute again.

Seeing that the seventh brother had shut up, Zhu Cong turned to look at the eldest brother, Ke Zhenwu, and said, "Boss, I agree with you. We should agree to the conditions of that kid, but the content needs to be changed."

Ke Zhen'e tilted his head and asked, "Second brother, have you thought of this too?"

Zhu Cong nodded and said, "I've thought about it. It's just as the third and fourth brothers said. It's really not feasible to teach martial arts in rotation every day. We need to change the length of time that both sides teach Guo Jing martial arts."

Ke Zhen'e turned his head towards the bonfire and asked in a deep voice, "How long do you think is appropriate?"

Several other people also looked over.

Zhu Cong pondered and said, "The longer the time, the better. If we can delay it to three, five, or even ten years, that would be the best result. But this is simply impossible, so I'm thinking about changing it once a year."

"Change once a year?" The other people all had thoughtful looks on their faces.

After a moment of silence, Ke Zhenwu slowly said, "One year is a long time. I don't think the guy surnamed Xu will agree."

"Half a year, at least half a year, and we have to teach first."

"Half a year later, when it is that kid's turn to teach martial arts, we will also have to check Guo Jing's martial arts progress once a month. If we find that Guo Jing's martial arts not only have not improved, but have even shown a trend of regression, we will have to ask that kid to stop and bring him back so that we can continue to train him."

Zhu Cong nodded and said, "Boss, you are right. I agree with this approach. I will discuss this with him when we meet tomorrow."

After discussing the most important thing, the beef and mutton on the campfire were almost cooked, so several people took them down and shared them with milk tea and water.

the other side.
Xu Xingchen returned to his tent and did not think about those questions. For him, intervening in Guo Jing's growth process was a must.

This is another way of living he found for himself.

Coming to the world of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, is there any way to live that is more interesting than experiencing the growth story of the protagonist Guo Jing?

As long as I can establish contact with this kid Guo Jing, I will not only be able to meet Huang Rong in the future, but also meet top masters like Hong Qigong, Huang Yaoshi, Ouyang Feng, Master Yideng, etc. It’s interesting to think about it.

If the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan do not agree to the conditions he proposed, then he will defeat them and make them realize the huge gap between them.

It might not be a bad thing if they returned to Jiaxing in the Central Plains and continued to live their ordinary lives!
It is much better than the tragic ending of becoming entangled with Guo Jing and then losing one death after another at the hands of other people.

As for Guo Jing's moral education, he was confident that he could do it.

These ideas were the decisions Xu Xingchen made when he was in Li Ping's tent.

He had a simple meal in the tent, then wandered around with the Dragon Slaying Sword in hand. While digesting the food, he drove away several lone wolves and beasts that approached him. When he returned to the tent, he began to continue his practice of "returning to the origin."

When half of the internal Qi is dissolved, there is no limit to the number of times and time you can practice each day.

He can do it anytime as long as he has time, is free and is not disturbed.

Time flies, and another day has arrived.

Xu Xingchen and the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan reunited in Li Ping's tent.

This time, the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan agreed to Xu Xingchen's request to "be a joint teacher" and proposed an education mechanism of rotating every six months.

Then he said solemnly that they had to train Guo Jing first, and only after half a year would it be Xu Xingchen's turn.

And while Xu Xingchen is training Guo Jing, they will also conduct a checkup every month.

If it is discovered that Guo Jing's martial arts skills have not improved but have deteriorated under Xu Xingchen's command, Xu Xingchen's "teacher qualification certificate" will be immediately revoked.

Listening to the rules and regulations that the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan had come up with, Xu Xingchen almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.

So, he suppressed his smile and agreed with a sad face.
