All the heavens, starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

Chapter 165 Golden Horn, Silver Edge, Grass Belly

Lu Xiaofeng subconsciously began to experiment on his own.
I found that this method was indeed useful; it allowed me to gain leverage in mid-air and suddenly rise half a meter higher.

This is an excellent way to cope when martial arts masters are climbing high walls or fighting in the air, and it can even save their lives in critical moments.

Even someone with his extraordinary lightness skill could step on his right foot with his left foot and then step back on his left foot, essentially using the momentum twice in mid-air.

What made Lu Xiaofeng even more pale was that
A true word is passed on, and a thousand volumes of books are falsely passed on.

Such martial arts secrets are considered secret techniques even within prestigious sects, and can only be learned by true disciples within the sect.

If placed in a small sect, it is a secret martial arts technique passed down orally for generations, and even the foundation for one's survival in the martial arts world!

And now, Tianji Tower is revealing these very principles of its existence to the public without any reservation?!

Lu Xiaofeng quickly read through the contents of the Heavenly Secret Report one by one.

[Is your meditation inefficient? It's because you haven't done these three preparatory steps!]

[Martial Arts Aptitude Self-Test: Complete this quiz to find out if you're suited for martial arts!]

How many of the eighteen techniques of concealed weapons do you know?

Lu Xiaofeng discovered that the content was substantial, profound yet easy to understand, and contained martial arts knowledge that even he found valuable, let alone other people in the martial arts world.

"No wonder everyone in the martial arts world has a copy of the Heavenly Secrets Report; it turns out they value the secret martial arts manuals contained within!"

Lu Xiaofeng's expression changed slightly.
For ordinary people in the martial arts world who live hand to mouth, these secret martial arts techniques are naturally extremely valuable.

But if this continues, will those powerful sects that have monopolized top-level martial arts and have a long history just let it go?
"Eh!"

Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the side. It was Sikong Zhaixing who fell from the air and landed on the ground.

"what's wrong with you?"

Lu Xiaofeng asked curiously,

"My leg cramped up!"

Sikong Zhaixing gasped, clutching her foot, her face pale.
Lu Xiaofeng was even more puzzled.

"With our lightness skills, we could even step on the right foot with the left and then step back."

"You tried for ages and even got a cramp up?"

Sikong Zhaixing frowned.

"Of course I can borrow power twice, it's just that the higher-ups said that Young Master Tianji can borrow power three times!"

"No matter how I try, I always get a stitch in my side on the third time I step on it."

"How did this Young Master Tianji manage to borrow power from thin air three times?!"

Lu Xiaofeng sighed.

"Is it possible that the last thing he stepped on... wasn't his foot?"

Sikong Zhaixing also fell silent.

The two young men changed the subject at the same time.

"By the way, Lu Xiaoji, you're somewhat acquainted with Young Master Tianji, could you use your connections to get me tickets to the Forbidden City?"

Lu Xiaofeng was completely confused upon hearing this.
"What Forbidden City ticket? You can get into that place with a ticket?"

Sikong Zhaixing pulled out one issue of the Heavenly Secrets Report and threw it to Lu Xiaofeng.

"See for yourself."

[A pair of swordsmen, their fates intertwined; a sword strikes from the west, striking straight at the heart of the enemy; two unparalleled swordsmen, locked in a love-hate relationship; two men entangled in a complex web of emotions.]

The Second Battle Between Ximen Chuixue and Dugu Yihe

[September 15th, at the Forbidden City, on the night of the full moon, please look forward to it.]

Lu Xiaofeng frowned.
When did this happen? How come he has no idea?

"And this ambiguous title... So that's what Wang Gan meant when he said he was finding a partner for Ximen Chuixue..."

"But did Ximen Chuixue and Dugu Yihe both agree to this? Even if they did, the fact that it took place in the Forbidden City is even more bizarre!"

"Will the emperor agree?" Lu Xiaofeng was someone who loved watching the drama unfold, and his only concern was Wang Gan's motives.

There's no smoke without fire; such a big move probably means he's up to something again.

"These are not my concerns. I've already placed my bet! Ten thousand taels!"

Sikong Zhaixing smiled excitedly.
"It's Dugu Yihe who's down!"

Lu Xiaofeng's expression was strange.
"Why don't you go for the obviously younger and stronger Ximen Chuixue? You're more optimistic about the old and frail Dugu Yihe?"

"You want to bet big?!"

Sikong Zhaixing laughed heartily.
"You don't understand, I have my own inside information."

"As far as I know, Ximen Chuixue is still in seclusion, oblivious to what is happening outside, while Dugu Yihe has already made preparations."

"He now spends every day trying to establish connections with the Heavenly Mystery Master, claiming to be a devoted follower of the Heavenly Mystery Master, supposedly to learn more about the essence of swordsmanship."

Lu Xiaofeng looked puzzled.
"That's all?"

Putting aside whether Dugu Yihe can still improve at his age, Wang Gan is the kind of guy who won't shed tears until he sees the coffin, so how could he easily give pointers to an old man?
In Lu Xiaofeng's opinion, Dugu Yihe's victory last time was mostly due to luck. If Wang Gan hadn't revealed his sword technique during his fight with Dugu Yihe, Dugu Yihe probably wouldn't have been able to defeat Ximen Chuixue.

"Hehe, you forgot."

Sikong Zhaixing's lips curled up in a smile.

"The Emei Sect possesses the greatest treasure in the entire martial arts world—the Four Beauties of Emei!"

hiss.
Lu Xiaofeng gasped.
After Sikong Zhaixing said that, given Wang Gan's character, Lu Xiaofeng really felt it was hopeless.

Wudang Mountain,
Looking at the chaotic chess game, Master Mu frowned.

"With your chess skills, you dare to say you've inherited the legacy of the Chess Saint?"

Wang Gan calmly picked up a chess piece and gently placed it on the center point.

"Liu Qi, the Great Chess Saint of the Han Dynasty".

"You haven't heard of it?"

The Wood Taoist was also well-read, and upon hearing this, he immediately felt a pang of unease.
So, the chess master you were talking about is this chess master?
No wonder you hold a chess piece in one hand and the chessboard in the other when you play chess!

"The so-called golden horn, silver edge, and grass belly are profound sayings left by my master, which have been passed down to this day."

Wang Gan sighed.
"It's about smashing people with a chessboard. The gold corner, the silver edge, and the grass belly are all good, but the corner is the most effective and can kill someone in one hit."

"Secondly, the edges and the very center of the chessboard are important."

"??"

Mu Daoren almost lost his composure.

Is this how you use the rules of Go?

"You have a point."

Master Mu took a deep breath.

"Emperor Jing's chess style was so fierce back then, he was good at fighting and even went beyond the rules of chess, winning outside the chessboard."

"We can defeat Prince Wu with a single blow."

Watching Wang Gan easily lift the stone chess table, weighing hundreds of kilograms, and suspend it in mid-air, making it about the height of a hand,
Mu Daoren didn't think his head was much harder than Prince Wu's.

“Young Master Tianji, I had no choice but to invite you here this time.”

Master Mu sighed.
If he had no other choice, he would not want to confront this mysterious and terrifying guy.

Even Ye Gucheng's Celestial Immortal Technique couldn't defeat Wang Gan, and Mu Daoren's ranking on the weapon list was even below Ye Gucheng's.

“Your Heavenly Secrets Gazette contains content that has really crossed the line.”

Mu Daoren stared directly at Wang Gan.
“I am here on behalf of many prestigious sects, including Shaolin, Wudang, and the Seven Great Sword Sects, to negotiate with you.”

"I hope you will stop revealing these martial arts secrets."
