The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 260 Xu Xingchen: It’s finally my turn
In the previous world, Xu Xingchen was in the Ming Cult and Guangmingding, and he was very powerful.
After this experience, he no longer thought it was a big deal if the carvings he left on the stone wall in the previous cave were seen by others.

What's more, the "Xia Ke Xing" was just something he wrote casually when he was in the mood at that time. To him, it was just an extremely ordinary thing.

However, what he picked up was someone else's most precious treasure.
For the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan who were born in a wild way, this was definitely a great event that could be called an "adventure".

Since they came out into the martial arts world, they have always been very stubborn and arrogant. Even when facing Qiu Chuji, one of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen Sect, the largest sect in the world, they dared to take action for chivalry and make a bet with the other party, thus traveling all the way to the northern border to find Li Ping and her son.

But this stubbornness and arrogance comes more from a psychological state of unwillingness to accept and admit defeat, rather than from their real strength.

The names of these seven people are well-known in the Jiangnan area, but their martial arts skills are actually not very satisfactory.

Back then in the Yanyu Tower in Jiaxing, it took seven men to fight Qiu Chuji and they were barely able to draw.

The Seven Sons of Quanzhen used the Tiangang Beidou Formation to compete with the other four of the Five Supremes.
With this conversion, we can understand how huge the gap is between the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan and the East Evil, West Poison, South Emperor, and North Beggar.

In the world of the book, they participated in the battle between the three evil masters: the East Evil, the West Poison, and the North Beggar. In the end, they were lucky enough to have one Ke Zhenwu alive.

So, even though the seven of them dared to fight and gamble with Qiu Chuji, in their hearts, weren't they envious of the Quanzhen Sect's martial arts foundation? !
But even though they were envious, they had no way to learn other people's martial arts.

Now, they have finally met a mysterious and generous master. It would be strange if they did not seize the opportunity to learn.

In a short period of time, several people have made great gains, especially the sixth brother Quan Jinfa and the seventh sister Han Xiaoying. Their martial arts were already close to a breakthrough point, and with the carvings on the stone wall, they immediately made rapid progress and accumulated enough internal strength and five energies to enter a state of seclusion where they were "reborn".

When Xu Xingchen turned around again, Ke Zhen'e and Zhu Cong came to him and hoped that he could stay for a few more days this time, until the sixth and seventh sisters came out of confinement, so that they could come together to thank Xu Xingchen.

Xu Xingchen didn't care too much at first, but when he saw the two people's sincere attitude, he thought that he had been running too hard recently and should rest for a few more days, so he agreed.

After the two left, Xu Xingchen looked at the empty cave and felt a little bored.

There was no time to write inscriptions or poems on the spacious stone wall opposite the stone bed, and there was even less time to do so now.

He didn't want to wait until he left the grassland and see it become someone else's "treasure place" or "holy martial arts place".
However, looking at the empty stone wall, if nothing is left on it, the cave will appear too pale, too monotonous, and without any humanistic atmosphere.

He had been running outside for the past few days and didn't think anything was wrong.

I haven't been out for the past few days, and I feel that the stone wall is particularly abrupt and annoying. I have stood in front of it several times, and my hands are itching to write something on it.

After much thought, I decided to give up for now.

Quan Jinfa and Han Xiaoying's retreat only lasted for five days before they came out. When they saw Xu Xingchen again, they had changed into herdsmen's fur coats.

It was still night, and a whole lamb was roasting over a blazing bonfire. The golden fat was sizzling out and dripping onto the bonfire below from time to time, causing dense and bright flames to pop up.

The rich fragrance spreads in all directions
If someone who likes meat but has not eaten it for a long time smells this fragrant aroma, his mouth will start to secrete saliva frantically, he will swallow saliva, and his stomach will move. The next moment, he will turn into a glutton and pounce on the roasted whole lamb.

But for the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan and Xu Xingchen, who had been wandering on the grassland for several years, they had become somewhat disgusted with the taste.

At this time, if you can have some fruits and vegetables, it will be much more tempting than roasting a whole lamb.

Halfway through the bonfire party, the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan all stood up, came to stand in front of Xu Xingchen, then bent down deeply, clasped their hands and bowed, saying: "The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan, thank you Master Xu for your guidance in martial arts!"

"In the future, if you have any orders, as long as they do not violate the chivalrous ethics, we will certainly go through fire and water and do our best."

Xu Xingchen finished chewing the mutton in his mouth, put down the bone in his hand, and slowly swept his eyes over the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan. Seeing their serious attitude, he smiled and said, "Okay, I accept your thanks. If there is anything in the future, I will never be polite to you seven!"

When the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan heard this response, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

People like them may not be very good at martial arts, but they attach great importance to face. Especially when it comes to the kindness shown to them by others, they will remember it firmly in their hearts and never dare to forget it.

Now, with Xu Xingchen's clear answer, the burden in their hearts was immediately lightened a lot.

Xu Xingchen smiled and said, "Okay, this is what we have settled. Everyone, sit down and continue eating and drinking. Don't let this sheep down."

"Hahahaha, Master Xu is right!"

A few people returned to the campfire and sat down again, continuing to eat and drink.

From that day on, they treated Xu Xingchen with more respect, almost treating him as a "half-teacher".

At the same time, they also began to confide in front of Xu Xingchen the difficulties and hardships of teaching little Guo Jing martial arts. Some of them almost shed tears when talking about the sad parts.

Listening to their confession, Xu Xingchen just smiled and comforted them: "It's normal for children to be a little stupid and it's also normal for them to learn slowly. Don't worry, take your time."

By now, the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan already knew that Xu Xingchen's martial arts were much better than theirs, and they wanted to hand over the responsibility of teaching little Guo Jing martial arts to Xu Xingchen. However, seeing his reaction, all the words were stuck in their throats, and they couldn't say anything.

They could only continue to take on the responsibility of teaching little Guo Jing martial arts, hoping that half a year would pass quickly. Xu Xingchen naturally understood the seven people's thoughts, but for little Guo Jing who was just laying the foundation, the training of the seven people was more suitable, which would allow him to worry less.

What's more, he is becoming more and more free now. He doesn't want to stay in one place for a short period of time and spend the whole day teaching a kid martial arts.

Time flies, years pass.

Half a year passed in a flash.

When the Jiangnan Seven Freaks handed little Guo Jing to Xu Xingchen, they looked much more relaxed, thinking, "Finally, we've handed this blockhead over."

"Next, it's Mr. Xu's turn to experience the 'happiness' of the believers."

After returning again, Xu Xingchen began to focus, settle down, and really started to teach little Guo Jing martial arts.

Three poles in the sun
In an open space outside the cave.

Xu Xingchen and little Guo Jing stood opposite each other.

The young Guo Jing, who had become stronger, looked intently at his master whom he had not seen often, and bowed, saying, "Disciple greets Master Xu!"

"Get up!" Xu Xingchen said with a smile. After little Guo Jing straightened up, he asked, "Jing'er, how has your martial arts training been in the past six months?"

Little Guo Jing showed a trace of shame on his face, and he stammered, "Disciple, I am stupid and dumb. I haven't mastered any of the martial arts that the seven masters taught me."

Xu Xingchen touched little Guo Jing's head and comforted him softly, "Don't be anxious! Don't be anxious! For some people, learning things quickly is slow, and learning things slowly is fast."

Little Guo Jing had no idea what Xu Xingchen meant. He just said seriously, "Master Xu, please teach me martial arts seriously. I, I promise I won't be lazy."

Xu Xingchen smiled and said, "Okay, I will teach you martial arts, but before that, you must first demonstrate the martial arts you have learned from your seven masters to me."

"Yes!"

Little Guo Jing responded, went to an open space nearby, got into position and started practicing.

Each of the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan has a different style of martial arts, and the content they teach is also different.

Little Guo Jing's boxing is sometimes steady, sometimes agile, sometimes fierce, and sometimes light.
Seven sets of martial arts, seven different styles!

Xu Xingchen looked at the calm and inflexible little Guo Jing, who had practiced all those agile, fierce and light moves in a completely different way, and thought to himself: "It's really hard for Jing'er, he met seven masters who can't teach people martial arts."

By the time little Guo Jing finished practicing his martial arts, Xu Xingchen already had some idea in his mind.

Afterwards, he specifically tested his speed, strength, dexterity, and nerve reaction; finally, he reached out and carefully felt the little Guo Jing's body, checking his bones and veins.

"Well, I guessed right. Jing'er is strong and sturdy, but he lacks agility and adaptability."

"He is suitable to learn some simple but powerful martial arts, such as Hong Qigong's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms."

"One force can defeat ten skills"

After pondering for a moment, Xu Xingchen first asked little Guo Jing to start doing horse stance, practicing basic exercises, boxing, and stretching his muscles. He squatted aside, took a branch, and started writing and drawing on the ground.

During the past six months, although he ran around everywhere and comprehended the wonders of nature, he would occasionally think of his disciple, little Guo Jing.

According to the context of the story in the book and combined with the martial arts he knew, he felt that the "Nine Yang Divine Art" was more suitable for young Guo Jing to practice than the "Nine Yin Scriptures".

It's a pity that the rules of heaven and earth in this world are very different from those in the previous world, and they do not support the existence of true qi. As a result, the "Nine Yang Divine Art" that he knew could not be directly passed on to little Guo Jing.

What frustrates him most is that he has many misunderstandings about the path of martial arts practice in this world.

For example, how do the internal force and spiritual power in the meridians intersect and resonate? How can the properties of the internal force be changed through spiritual power?

His path of cultivation was to fuse the five elements of Qi with his inner strength, thereby producing various changes in properties. Finally, following the changes in the properties of the true Qi, he realized the divine aspects of martial arts.
Now that his true Qi has returned to its original state, he can naturally use the power of the martial arts god to influence the changes in the nature of his internal force.

Changing from top to bottom is easy.

But how do we advance from the bottom to the top?

Could it be that he relied on the "breaking the realm" mentioned by the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan?
Xu Xingchen never thought of looking for the answer from the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan. He guessed that the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan were also confused about this issue and couldn't figure it out.

After all, they are just seven ordinary martial artists, not martial arts researchers.
But Xu Xingchen planned to use little Guo Jing as a test subject!
