Regarding the question of whether one thousand lives are enough to beat Honkai Impact 3rd.

Because according to his personality and logic, joining a club is already quite difficult, and he would never even think about running for student council, which is such an ambitious activity.

However, Chen Junxuan completely believed it. He now felt that Su Qing'an had emerged from the shadow of her parents' passing and found the meaning of life in such a pleasant academy life. From then on, the world became incredibly bright, and her life philosophy became positive and different from before.

Even now, the young man is about to find a beautiful love, which makes Chen Junxuan feel extremely gratified. He smiled and patted Su Qing'an on the shoulder, and the expectant expression on his face made Su Qing'an feel complicated.

Perhaps in this old man's eyes, other things in his life were more important than his progress in martial arts.

This gives value to this well-intentioned lie.

142. Mingjing, Taixuanliu VS Taixuanliu.

Su Qing'an stayed in this ancient town for three days.

It was as if he had returned to the days when he first learned martial arts from Chen Junxuan, but that stage where he could feel himself growing up with each passing day was already a thing of the past for Su Qing'an.

Now, while he is completely different from before, he is also trapped within a barrier. No matter how many complex skills and martial arts will are combined, there is a clear upper limit. And the closer he gets to that limit, the more limited the room for Su Qing'an to improve becomes.

Youth has its advantages, and Su Qing'an was certain that he was strong enough to defeat Chen Junxuan in combat.

The physical attributes extracted and sublimated by the artificial holy marks and the Taixu sword energy are already at a non-human level.

From this perspective alone, even an ordinary person who is not skilled in martial arts would be able to kill a normal Honkai Beast no more than twice his size with the strength and speed of his own body.

Such pure violence would be abnormal even in St. Freya Academy, where abnormal people are everywhere.

Chen Junxuan was even less capable of doing this, and given his already transformed martial arts, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Su Qingan surpassed him.

But during those three days, he seemed to be sorting out some complicated and chaotic things. He practiced boxing in the morning, meditated in the afternoon, and stood still in the middle of the night. He patiently repeated these seemingly meaningless behaviors with the old man.

In Fu Hua's eyes, Su Qing'an's martial arts were becoming clear again at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Su Qing'an learns things very quickly. He can basically grasp the essence of a move very quickly, and can even innovate and develop other techniques in a short period of time.

But precisely because of this, his martial arts became increasingly complex, to the point that it gradually became somewhat cumbersome.

The fundamental reason is that the fist techniques that Fu Hua taught him are far more extensive and terrifying than the entire Tai Xuan Liu system.

If Chen Junxuan was Su Qing'an's mentor, then Fu Hua's existence helped Su Qing'an build a true foundation.

She imparted almost all of the endless martial arts she had created on her own and the myriad techniques she had seen and heard over the centuries to her.

Fu Hua has always doted on Su Qing'an in a sense. Even in the distant past, she had never gone to such lengths for her disciple.

The reason, however, stemmed from a conversation that took place before he began teaching the boy that day.

What do you want to learn?

"All."

Faced with Su Qing'an's capricious answer, she simply smiled and lightly uttered a single word.

"it is good."

So Su Qing'an really went to study, and he mastered all the courses at St. Freya Academy in less than half a month. He also mastered Tai Xuan Liu in just one week.

Faced with these countless martial arts, the young man has studied them diligently for so long but still hasn't fully mastered them all.

Of course, Su Qing'an had already learned some of the essential parts, but due to many practical limitations, he simply couldn't use them.

Just like the technique of [Thousand Stars] requires Honkai energy resistance and control, there are many moves that are even more demanding than [Thousand Stars].

For example, Su Qing'an didn't even have the qualifications to come into contact with the most powerful immortal techniques.

It's rather strange that Fu Hua would let Su Qing'an know about this level of martial arts.

The boy himself did not know that it was the ultimate martial art used by the immortals of Shenzhou at their peak, but he could understand that it was something far more dangerous than [Thousand Stars].

Even Fu Hua herself, with her life force waning and her body extremely weak, found it difficult to use her immortal techniques.

The martial arts of the Immortal Style are already a forbidden fighting method for her, and even the fighting method of using Feather Crossing the Dust has a higher priority than using the Immortal Style.

In most cases, even when fighting with Feathered Dust and Godslayer Armor, she would not be willing to use Celestial Style, because Celestial Style would consume too much of her body's durability, and the responsibilities she bore as a young girl would prevent her from treating her life in that way.

She must continue to live in this world to fulfill that promise.

Therefore, sometimes we have to give up a lot of things.

In short, the culprit behind Su Qing'an's overly complicated martial arts is Fu Hua.

However, during these three days, Chen Junxuan's teachings made Su Qing'an's martial arts skills clear and flawless once again.

This is a very vague adjective; it is difficult to see clearly even when put on paper or in a fist. However, one thing can be clearly perceived as a change.

That was something only Su Qing'an herself could understand.

That is, the change in the state of mind.

Aside from the accumulation of quantity, there are no bottlenecks for him at this level.

Su Qing'an had always believed that the Taixu Sword Qi was a series of realms that were artificially created by feeding on emotions.

But now he gradually understands that the Taixu Sword Qi is not such a simple thing.

Whether it was the initial formation of the sword heart or the later stepping into the realm of dustlessness.

What is needed is never simply the accumulation of emotions.

The most crucial factor lies in the heart.

This is a very mystical thing, but Su Qing'an understands the possibility that he hadn't undergone the trials of the gods in the beginning, and hadn't experienced those two weeks with Hua.

Then he would never be able to condense a sword heart.

And the key to entering the realm of dustlessness is the same.

The inner turmoil, fear, and hesitation during the wait for the Honkai to descend in Changkong City, the courage shown after being driven to the brink by Ganesha, and the belief that she was willing to break through to the dustless realm when facing the pseudo-Herrscher Sato Yuno.

These shining examples of humanity are the true key to the advancement of the divine version of the Taixu Sword Qi.

Now, Su Qing'an's qualifications in this area are more than enough to break through to the Mingjing realm.

The reason he only realized the bottleneck had disappeared now was because the boy had been confused all along.

But in those three days, the dust in his heart was swept away.

As Su Qing'an gradually gained a deeper understanding of martial arts, her heart also became purer.

He had figured out many things. In other words, according to what Chen Junxuan had told the boy a long time ago, Su Qing'an had found his own answer.

On the morning of the fourth day, Chen Junxuan looked at the young man, whose weathered yet clear eyes held a mixture of emotion and joy. He seemed to be both sighing and happy, and finally, the old man said with complex feelings:

"You've completed your apprenticeship, Qing'an."

"After this fight, you can leave."

So the two of them performed the ancient rituals just like they had done at the Taoist temple in Changkong City that day.

For Su Qing'an, this was a battle unlike any other.

Whether it was the "momentum," the "circle," or the stealth techniques he stole from Rita, all of them vanished in front of Chen Junxuan.

useless.

Unable to subdue the old man's power for even a moment, one's weaknesses will be exploited by the old man, and one's stealth will be easily detected several times.

All the skills that would give someone a huge advantage over others became flashy but useless tricks in Chen Junxuan's hands.

The power of [momentum] has already undergone several version upgrades, and the fact that it could not shake Chen Junxuan only shows that the old man's heart and will were too firm and without any flaws.

But Su Qing'an's skills are not limited to these. The power he absorbed from Fu Hua has gradually spread into the young man's blood, and countless fragments of martial arts techniques have been almost perfectly integrated into his instincts.

Tai Xuan Liu, Tai Xuan Liu.

Nowadays, the martial arts techniques of Su Qing'an and Chen Junxuan no longer seem to originate from the same source.

And this is exactly the result Chen Junxuan wanted to see.

Su Qing'an completely abandoned those useless techniques.

The repeated use of these techniques is like a child showing off a toy to an adult, with a smug attitude as if they possess a treasure that the other person doesn't have.

It's as if the boy is trying to prove his achievements and innovations during this period, and Chen Junxuan cares more about Su Qing'an's progress than about these treasures that seem to be just toys.

This ignited a fierce fighting spirit within him.

So what if he's a disciple?

While feeling proud, Chen Junxuan also possessed an extremely strong competitive spirit.

Having passed the initial probing phase, in their very first exchange of blows, their limbs moved like unleashed whips, tearing through the wind as they hurtled towards each other.

Whether it's a chop to the neck, an elbow strike, a punch, or a kick, they use every trick in the book. The dazzling techniques and the constant dismantling of each other make the battle seem incredibly close and unpredictable.

Clearly, Su Qing'an has gone much further on the path of skill, but no matter what he does, he can't overpower his opponent.

Chen Junxuan was too old; he had experienced countless battles in his life.

His martial arts are far more than just pure skill; they cannot be adequately described.

Unlike Fu Hua, who gave Su Qing'an a sense of despair as if he were facing the sea, the old man only made the boy feel the wind.

It is a flexible and natural wind, sometimes swift, sometimes explosive.

Chen Junxuan's response can be described as a perfect balance of offense and defense, without any weaknesses. His aura flowed without any flaws, and his offensive was neither so intense as to exhaust all his strength, nor did it give the enemy any chance to buffer.

The moves are neither so focused on finesse that they lose their lethality, nor so reliant on brute force that they are full of openings.

Every shot he made was timed perfectly.

【round】.

Unlike Su Qing'an's cheat-like martial arts, which combined the power of the Taixu Sword Qi, this is Chen Junxuan's own unique "Circle".

It is a fighting rhythm that the old man has developed through years of practical experience, life-and-death trials, and martial arts training.

It is said that learning has no end, but Su Qing'an used to think that he no longer needed to learn anything about martial arts from Chen Junxuan. However, when he fought the old man again, he found that the battle was almost the same as the battle in Changkong City before.

Regardless of who gains the upper hand, after a brief exchange of blows, they will find themselves back at a similar equilibrium point to the beginning of the game.

Su Qing'an did not use his full strength. His physical abilities, which were deliberately suppressed by the Still Water Realm, and all his skills regarding Honkai energy proved that the boy was far more capable than he had been.

But he has already truly shown everything about martial arts.

Even so, he was unable to completely defeat the old man.

The teacher truly lives up to his reputation.
