In middle age, one's comprehension becomes extraordinary.

Even with the same set of martial arts techniques, everyone's mastery after cultivation and comprehension will differ.

This is common knowledge; everyone knows it.

But this difference shouldn't be this big.

For a fleeting moment, Gu Xin even doubted whether Li Yuan was using "The Knife-Wiping Technique".

Li Yuan's martial arts skills, thanks to his talents of "Perfect Comprehension" and "Mastery of Techniques," have already reached a new level.

It's not just about gaining a deeper understanding, but also about transforming the "Sword Wiping" martial art so that it can be completely adapted to one's own training.

Li Yuan not only mastered "The Knife Wiping" but also transformed it, making it completely suited to his own style.

The relaxed expression on his face vanished, and Gu Xin sensed something was wrong in that instant.

The confidence in my heart remains, and I just need to be a little more serious.

With the divine power rising, Gu Xin was ready to unleash his true abilities.

No longer giving Li Yuan the first-mover advantage, a few strands of white silk fell, and Gu Xin's figure moved forward.

The wooden sword was raised in his hand, and six illusory sword energies appeared around his body.

The sword energy surges forth, the body moves forward, sword and body, form and energy harmonize.

Gu Xin's actions clearly indicated his intention to teach Li Yuan a lesson.

You could tell he was serious.

These techniques are martial arts skills he only uses when sparring with opponents of similar strength.

These tactics completely shattered the suspense, at least in the eyes of the onlookers.

Xia Zhao was actually a little nervous; she could tell that Gu Xin was serious.

Xia Zhao was prepared to act at any moment, as she was somewhat worried about Li Yuan getting hurt.

In fact, Xia Zhao didn't have much knowledge of Li Yuan's true strength either.

She knew Li Yuan's future would be bright, but he wasn't even forty yet, so it was still early.

On the training ground, the wooden sword and the wooden saber had already clashed.

After Guxin adopted a serious attitude, the people around him suddenly realized what was going on.

This Li Yuan seems to be quite good.

Gu Xin was not only a fortune teller skilled in physiognomy, but also a genius martial artist proficient in martial arts.

Despite Gu Xin's use of such methods, Li Yuan not only did not lose in five moves, but he was not even at a disadvantage!

The seriousness on his face began to turn into solemnity, and a hint of anxiety appeared.

Guxin had already sensed that the opponent in front of him was no ordinary opponent at all.

The martial arts he practiced were superior techniques he had studied for many years, even better than "The Knife Wiping Technique".

But right now, Gu Xin is being completely suppressed.

Li Yuan went a bit easy on Li Yuan during this martial arts sparring match.

He didn't even use his [Flaw Insight] talent; he was simply engaging in a real battle with him.

Guxin's face was already starting to turn red.

This is his personal habit; he likes to hold his breath when something happens, and then his face turns red.

With his full beard, he looked somewhat strange.

Li Yuan didn't mean to mock anyone's appearance, but Gu Xin's appearance was indeed quite strange.

The blade fell again, and this time, Guxin was forced to dodge.

He had already discovered that Li Yuan was like a tireless, high-energy cow.

Such profound martial arts techniques can be used frequently without any impact.

But for him, taking on the challenge now is not so easy.

Guxin could only dodge and try to figure out how to deal with the situation.

"To be honest, I am a bit stronger than you expected, but I will no longer hide my strength from now on."

You are thirty-three years old this year, so I will fight you using the level of skill I had at thirty-three!

Gu Xin gave himself a way out by speaking.

When older and younger martial artists spar, the standard should be the martial arts level of the younger martial artist.

But Guxin pioneered another standard, based on his martial arts level at that age.

Of course, there is some truth to that.

In the Xia Kingdom, however, the customary practice was to use the former type of competition.

The people around didn't say anything, but they could tell.

Guxin was being a bit cheeky, but everyone around him was on his side, so even though they saw it, no one would criticize him.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Xin swung his wooden sword again.

After raising his martial arts realm to the eighth rank, his strength truly increased significantly.

The sword's edge was even sharper, and the movement techniques became increasingly unpredictable.

Guxin wasn't simply taking it seriously; at this moment, he was going all out.

The onlookers all looked rather grim.

Gu Xin's previous evaluation of Li Yuan was extremely poor.

They said Li Yuan would only ever be an unknown figure. After Li Yuan made those bold statements, they gave a very straightforward reply, saying that Li Yuan would never reach that day.

However, Li Yuan's current performance is beyond what an unknown person should have.

Li Yuan came from an ordinary background, as many people know, and Xia Zhao married a middle school teacher.

This middle school teacher lacks the cultivation conditions afforded by a large family or powerful organization.

I attended the most regular schools when I was young, and there were no extra resources for spiritual practice.

A person like that, who could fight Gu Xin to this extent, doesn't seem like an unknown nobody at all.

In the future, Li Yuan will surely make a name for himself among the young and middle-aged people of Xia Kingdom.

It wouldn't be surprising if they even become the backbone of the younger generation.

The sparring match between the two was not yet over.

Gu Xin believed that his strength was already superior, but when facing Li Yuan, he was really powerless and even felt that he was about to lose.

There seemed to be an invisible barrier around him. Every time he thought he had found an opportunity, he would be blocked by an invisible barrier.

These invisible barriers even drove Guxin to the brink of neurosis.

He began to become suspicious, always feeling that there were barriers around him, blocking his way.

Seeing Gu Xin's condition, Li Yuan lost interest in delaying any longer.

Guxin's strength is about that much.

Most martial artists don't have many martial arts skills or techniques they are proficient in.

Each set of martial arts techniques takes a considerable amount of time to master.

Others don't possess Li Yuan's extraordinary abilities, so it's impossible for them to master too many skills.

Knowing their strength, Li Yuan could even predict Gu Xin's next move.

At this moment, Li Yuan had almost seen through him.

Even if he unleashes his full power as a ninth-rank martial artist, I might not be able to either.

There's no problem with holding him off.

Thinking this through, Li Yuan no longer held back and attacked with even greater ferocity than before.

The blade's momentum was like a thick rain cloud, descending from the sky.

The "Severing Void Technique" can provide invaluable assistance in actual combat.

The once confident Guxin began to show panic and fear on his face.

He still remembered what he had said before, and how powerful and resounding it had been.

He told everyone with absolute certainty that Li Yuan's future would only be that of an unknown person, and he was destined to be an unknown person.

But now, Li Yuan, this nobody, is about to defeat him.

The person he considered inferior beat him.

To become the better person he speaks of.

The surroundings were completely silent, and the group of martial artists watching were somewhat frightened, their mouths slightly agape.

The ancient prophecies they revere are utter nonsense.
