I became a Sword Emperor in the Martial Arts World

Chapter 22 Don't come any closer!

The infirmary, with snow-white sheets.

Leon slept peacefully in his hospital bed.

Lei Ying, who had just finished examining her younger brother, breathed a sigh of relief: "It's just three broken ribs, nothing serious."

Although Lei Ying didn't intend to pursue the matter, Xu Lan couldn't leave her without an explanation, since neither the Lei family nor Sanqing Mountain could be offended.

"Ye Qingzhou, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation!"

"Teacher Xu, you know me. If it weren't for Leon's insistence, I wouldn't have gone all out. He was the one who asked me to give him a handicap, and I never expected him to be so weak that he couldn't even withstand one of my moves!"

Ye Qingzhou looked aggrieved. If the two had fought normally, Leon might not have lost so miserably.

After all, although Ye Qingzhou's dragon-shaped sword qi slash is incredibly powerful, it takes more than 3 seconds to charge up. In a fierce battle, who would give you 3 seconds to charge up and unleash a powerful attack?

However, Leon thought himself invincible, so he wanted to completely subdue Ye Qingzhou with his overwhelming strength, which resulted in trouble.

After hearing the whole story, Xu Lan and Lei Ying were speechless.

Xu Lan pinched the bridge of her nose and glared at Ye Qingzhou, annoyed. "I'll deal with you when we get back!"

Just then, Leon slowly woke up.

His first words upon opening his eyes were, "Ah, who unleashed that sword aura slash?"

He tried to get up, but the movement pulled at the wound on his chest, causing him to grimace and howl in pain.

Lei Ying quickly stepped forward and pressed him down: "You're injured and you still won't calm down. Lie down obediently. You need to take good care of yourself these few days and you're not allowed to go anywhere."

"sister?"

When Leon, this immature teenager, saw Lei Ying, he immediately became well-behaved. This is what they call one thing subduing another. After all, he was so mischievous that he had naturally suffered a lot of righteous iron fists from Lei Ying since he was a child.

Turning his head, Leon saw Ye Qingzhou walking towards him.

"Leon..."

"Damn it, don't come any closer!"

The image of the sword strike before he lost consciousness flashed through Leon's mind again. It was the first time in his life he had come so close to death, and he was clearly still in a state of shock.

Ye Qingzhou, who had intended to greet her in a friendly manner, could only shrug helplessly upon seeing this, and then left the infirmary with Xu Lan.

Seeing Ye Qingzhou, the great demon king, leave, Leon finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then, feeling the stinging pain from his wound, he looked at Lei Ying with a wronged expression: "Sister, why didn't you tell me that there was such a top-notch expert in the swordsmanship club?"

Seeing her younger brother so useless, Lei Ying was furious and scolded him unhappily, "I haven't even said anything to you yet! Did you not practice your skills properly on the mountain and instead slack off again? Otherwise, how come you couldn't even withstand a single sword strike from Ye Qingzhou?"

Upon hearing this, Leon's face fell: "Sis! That's a sword aura slash! Even professional martial artists might not be able to withstand it unscathed, let alone me!"

After saying that, he changed the subject, his tone becoming somewhat smug: "You should know that your younger brother is a peerless genius. If I hadn't accidentally broken Master's favorite Xuan Guang Mirror, he wouldn't have been willing to send me down the mountain."

"What? You shattered Master's Mystic Mirror?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Ying immediately became even angrier.

"No, sis, let me explain..."

"There's nothing to explain. I think you're asking for trouble again. You need to be taught a lesson."

"Ouch! Sis, let's talk this out. I'm a patient right now... No! Don't hit my face!"

Inside the infirmary, the siblings were having a heated argument, but the occasional screams scared away many students who wanted to see Teacher Da Lei for treatment.

Fighting Center, Swordsmanship Club.

When Ye Qingzhou returned, he found that most of the people had already left, and he was puzzled: "Where did everyone go? Wasn't it supposed to be a spot battle? I haven't even started the competition yet."

Xu Yuebing walked over with a complicated expression: "The competition is over."

"Huh? The competition's over? When?"

"Just now."

"You're pulling strings while I'm away?"

Xu Yuebing rolled her eyes at Ye Qingzhou: "What are you talking about? In this seat battle, you are the first, I am the second, and Senior Lu Yifan is seriously injured and will probably need to rest for three or four days, so he is temporarily in third place."

Ye Qingzhou was relieved: "That's good. I thought you guys would resort to underhanded tactics if you couldn't beat me."

"Who would want your little bit of stuff!"

Xu Yuebing stomped her feet in anger. Every time she spoke to Ye Qingzhou, she felt extremely angry.

However, recalling Ye Qingzhou's stunning sword strike that had just defeated Leon, she felt utterly incredulous and couldn't help but ask, "You've already mastered the Sword Qi Slash?"

"I guess I've learned it, but it's not very practical in the ring."

Ye Qingzhou felt there was nothing to hide, so he chose to tell the truth.

The dragon-shaped sword aura slash is incredibly powerful, but its biggest weakness is that it can only be charged for three seconds. In a real fight, no one will stand still for three seconds and let you hit them.

Oh, except for idiots like Leon.

Even so, Xu Yuebing found it hard to believe: "You haven't even advanced to a professional martial artist yet, and you've already mastered a mid-level martial art like Sword Qi Slash?"

In the martial arts world of Blue Star, martial arts apprentices can generally only master basic martial arts techniques. For example, the six basic techniques of wind, fire, mountain, forest, yin, and thunder in "Six Forms of Military Competition" are basic martial arts techniques, also known as low-level martial arts techniques.

Above the beginner level martial arts skills, there are intermediate and advanced levels, corresponding to the professional and master levels respectively.

Compared to basic martial arts skills, intermediate and advanced martial arts skills are much more powerful.

For example, intermediate-level martial arts techniques, apart from a few moves that are officially announced and widely promoted, are mostly secret techniques passed down within a particular school.

Intermediate-level martial arts techniques are enhanced from basic martial arts stances, and their power is extraordinary. Therefore, they are often only mastered by professional-level martial artists, and their destructive effect is comparable to that of firearms.

The power of high-level martial arts techniques is even greater than that of mid-level martial arts techniques. Apart from the techniques developed by the Dongji Kingdom itself, high-level martial arts techniques are considered the unique skills of each major martial arts school.

The term "secret art" means that only the core disciples of each school can learn it, and it is never passed on to outsiders.

It should be understood that advanced martial arts techniques are extremely profound martial arts skills. On the battlefield, they often have tactical-level striking effects, with power comparable to artillery, and are often enough to determine the outcome of a local battle.

Seeing that Xu Yuebing seemed very interested in his swordsmanship, Ye Qingzhou, who was short of money to practice, immediately smiled enthusiastically: "What, you want to learn? I'll teach you."

Xu Yuebing was very surprised. She had never heard of a sword aura slash in the form of a dragon. Ye Qingzhou would actually pass on such a powerful secret martial art.

"Are you really willing to teach?"

"Of course, it costs a thousand gold coins, and I guarantee you'll learn it."
