Chapter 82 The most talented person in Gaoliu County!
Chapter 82 The most talented person in Gaoliu County!
"Hammer technique?"
On the steps, Fang Yunxiu's eyes fixed.
I saw a young man in linen clothes walking out from the crowd. Although he bowed his hands and lowered his head, his figure was still tall and straight, and he seemed to have a good physique.
"Junior Brother Li?"
Yue Yunjin and other inner courtyard apprentices were all a little stunned, with different expressions.
"Has his hammering skills already reached perfection?"
Wang Gong just found it a little unbelievable.
Eight months ago, Li Yuan joined the inner courtyard with the minor level hammer technique, which caused quite a stir. However, minor level hammer technique only required one of the three combinations of inner and outer.
To achieve great success one must integrate all six elements.
There are so many apprentices in the inner courtyard, and many of them have achieved great success in blood and energy, but the only one who has achieved great success in martial arts is Yue Yunjin, who was instructed by Fang Yunxiu.
Yue Yunjin has been practicing martial arts for more than seven years...
"Yue Yunjin's junior fellow apprentice? He seems to be a blacksmith?"
Lu Bailing took a few glances and seemed to have some impression.
"Li Yuan, the Weapon Forging Shop?"
Shen Shangying and Miao Zhen had already retreated, and were now looking at him with a scrutinizing look, seemingly not believing it.
He carries a sword, a staff, and a spear with him every year. The complexity of hammer skills is no less than that of spear skills. If he wants to master it, it is much more difficult than sword skills and palm skills.
"Forging shop, hammering skills mastered?"
Fang Yunxiu had no expression on her face. She waved her hand, and a servant from the Lu Mansion carried a long-handled hammer over:
"White Ape Cloak Hammer, seems to be a long-handled hammer technique?"
"Lady Hui Fang, either a long or short handle is fine..."
Li Yuan reached out to take the hammer, weighed it lightly, and found it was about 15 pounds, which was too light for him now.
'It's time to test my ability to control points!'
Li Yuan was thinking in his mind as he wielded his hammer.
With his proficiency in hammering, he could naturally control how much to reveal.
However, the female hero on the steps was obviously much stronger than Yu Zhen. She might be a strong warrior of the same level as Cao Yan.
If Cao Yan had not been slow to return, he would have been afraid that he would have really hidden for a few years and missed the opening of the Divine Weapon Valley. He was really unwilling to show off his martial arts in front of a warrior of this level just to get a spot.
Although he was sure that the Bingdao Dousha Hammer would not be leaked, he still felt a lot of pressure.
"If you ask for help from others, you will be easily taken advantage of."
Li Yuan sighed in his heart, but he was also calm. Some things must be fought for by oneself after all.
"Aunt, this person has a medium to low bone structure."
Lu Bailing also remembered Li Yuan at this time, and came close to him, whispering: "I heard that he has been practicing martial arts for four months, and his hammering skills have been mastered, and his talent for forging is not bad..."
"Medium to low physique? Four months of hammering skills have improved slightly..."
Fang Yunxiu frowned slightly: "A linen dress..."
Normally, to determine the quality of a person's bones, one needs to feel and feel the bones with one's own hands. However, in most cases, the quality of a person's bones can be determined from his or her body shape.
This kid has an upright figure, long legs and long arms, and looks smart and capable, with arms and waist like an ape. If his physique is not top-notch, it should be at least above-average, right?
Lower middle...
"This woman's eyes are too sharp..."
Li Yuan was holding the hammer, and he felt his scalp itchy even without looking up.
The gaze of this woman alone is more obvious and intense than the gazes of dozens of people behind her, which shows that her martial arts skills are extremely high.
"Would you like to get familiar with the weapons? If not, call and see."
Fang Yunxiu asked calmly, pretending to be indifferent, and glanced at the crowd in front of the door:
"Anyone else?"
There was some commotion in the crowd, but no one came out. Yue Yunjin had mastered martial arts, but he naturally didn't need to come out to demonstrate his skills.
Wu Ming felt a little jealous, but he was over twenty years old and had not yet mastered the hammer technique. He did not meet any of the requirements and could only watch, feeling envious and depressed.
"I'm ready."
Li Yuan bowed slightly.
Although he was not wielding the master craftsman's hammer at the moment, it seemed that his familiarity with all kinds of weapons and his talent for weapons still remained. In addition, he was proficient in long weapons. After weighing it a few times, he had become familiar with the hammer.
After bowing, he exerted force on his feet, twisted his body and waist, swung his hammer, made a "woooo" sound of breaking through the wind, and started to hit the White Ape Hammer.
"Six Combinations Connected!"
Yue Yunjin's eyelids jumped when he heard the sound of breaking air.
The sound of this hammer was louder and steadier than his.
"This kid's hammering skills..."
On the steps, Fang Yunxiu narrowed her eyes slightly.
Lu Bailing who was standing by couldn't help but be a little surprised. She compared it in her mind and found that this blacksmith's martial arts skills were not worse than hers?
Miss Lu was a little dazed, feeling quite frustrated.
Once upon a time, she thought she was a genius...
Woo!
Li Yuan's hammering technique was already very well-versed, and he hammered like a gust of wind. In an instant, he had finished eighteen blows, pretending to be out of breath and clasping his fists:
"Please give me some advice, Miss Fang."
Fang Yunxiu read it calmly, but just shook her head:
"It seems long, but in fact it is full of loopholes..."
Ok? !
Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat and he became alert.
He watched the entire martial arts performance of Shen Shangying and Miao Zhen. The hammer technique he used was just right, neither too much nor too little, to suppress the two of them.
Li Yuan naturally has full confidence in his control ability.
He didn't believe that this woman was so blind...
"what?"
Lu Bailing came to her senses. It couldn't even get in when water was poured on it. How could it be considered full of loopholes? !
That myself...
"If you are too rigid and lack flexibility, you will never achieve success."
Fang Yunxiu glanced at the two martial arts school disciples standing aside, looking rather surprised:
"Shen Shangying, Miao Zhen!"
"exist!"
The two martial arts school disciples who were watching from the side looked at each other and bowed together:
"I would like to have a discussion with Brother Li!"
Li Yuan clenched the hammer handle tightly, guessing what Fang Yunxiu was thinking, while the latter just nodded slightly:
"Ok!"
"Brother Li, please give me some advice!"
Shen Shangying held a long sword in his hand, bent slightly, stepped on the ground, and swept the long sword across, slashing over like a crescent moon.
Following closely, Miao Zhen's hands turned red, and strong wind blew as he opened and closed them.
"Hundred Refined Sword Techniques, Separation and Combination Palm!"
Li Yuan stood up straight, holding his hammer weapon in front of him to block the long sword's sweep, but his eyes glanced at Fang Yunxiu on the steps.
The latter seemed unaware and just watched indifferently.
"What does this woman want to do? Did she see something? Impossible, I didn't even show my fighting hammer, how could she see it?"
Hengchui stopped the two men. In a flash, Li Yuan's mind was racing with thoughts and guesses.
"How dare you get distracted!"
He was distracted for a moment, but Shen Shangying became angry, and his already swift sword became even more violent, causing the crowd to exclaim in surprise.
Shen Shangying and Miao Zhen are the most elite disciples of the three major martial arts schools in the inner city. They had mastered martial arts several years ago and are well-known geniuses.
Seeing the swift sword flashes and fierce palm techniques at this moment, even Yue Yunjin couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and was extremely shocked.
Because Li Yuan was wielding the hammer horizontally, the moves were simple, but they should have forced the two men to stay away from each other, and the advantages of the long-handled weapon were fully demonstrated.
"Brother Li, be careful!
Seeing that the two of them had joined forces but failed after just a few moves, Miao Zhen glanced at Shen Shangying and shouted a reminder.
Immediately, his blood was surging, and he exerted force under his feet, rubbing his body closer, and his palms suddenly expanded more than a circle, hitting Li Yuan's chest one after another. At the same time, Shen Shangying raised his sword, ready to fight the hammer soldier.
If the two of them join forces but cannot win quickly, then not only will they not win the favor of Miss Fang, they will also be whipped by their master when they return!
'She's testing me!'
While raising his hammer to attack, Li Yuan keenly noticed Fang Yunxiu's eyes. With his mind turning, he exerted force with his feet.
The hammer soldier, who was already extremely fast, was three times faster. With just one blow, he knocked down Shen Shangying's long sword, and at the same time twisted his body to avoid Miao Zhen's split palm.
The hammer hit back with a strong wind, heading straight for Miao Zhen's head!
"stop!"
Fang Yunxiu's rebuke sounded, and the man had already rushed over. Su Bai turned his palm and stopped the hammer soldier in front of Miao Zhen, who was sweating profusely.
"what!"
Miao Zhen took a few steps back in embarrassment, feeling his back was soaked.
Not to mention that he didn't practice any horizontal martial arts, even if he did, he wouldn't be able to withstand this hammer!
On the other side, Shen Shangying covered his palms with his hands, the knuckles of which were cracked, and stared at Li Yuan, his heart in turmoil.
The two of them were defeated quickly...
Fang Yunxiu withdrew her hand, and her expression changed:
"Hammer technique completed?"
Li Yuan put away his hammer and bowed. He was sure that this woman was really testing him. He felt relieved and replied:
"A few days ago, under the guidance of Master, I gained some insights. However, I have only been learning martial arts for a short time, so I don't know whether it is a complete or perfect understanding..."
Knowing that she was testing him rather than trying to figure him out, Li Yuan felt relieved.
He has enough hidden things and is not afraid of temptation.
If Fang Yunxiu tried again, he would at most expose his "natural power". If he tried again, he still had the "lifting heavy objects with ease" and "white ape power" behind him...
An overly amazing talent might be a little eye-catching, but it is better than being exposed by the Bingdao Dousha Hammer.
He was not sure whether this woman would cherish his talent or be ruthless after knowing that he had learned the Bingdao Dousha Hammer...
"After one year of studying martial arts, you have perfected the hammer technique?!"
Fang Yunxiu was quite surprised.
When Li Yuan was performing martial arts, due to her understanding of hammer techniques, she vaguely guessed that this boy was hiding something, so she thought of testing him.
But she didn't expect that she could not test out the Bingdao Fighting Hammer, but she actually tested out a genius in hammer technique? !
"This……"
Miao Zhen and others standing by could not help but stare in shock.
When one's martial arts skills have reached perfection, he is qualified to break through the internal strength. They have only seen this state of perfection in the masters of the martial arts school. They never thought that someone could reach perfection after practicing martial arts for only one year.
Moreover, it is a hammer technique that is quite difficult to practice? !
"Aunt, you must have seen it wrong. How could he have perfected the hammer technique?!"
Miss Lu held her forehead and felt a little dizzy.
She started taking medicine and learning martial arts and reading secret manuals before she was seven years old, but she didn’t achieve full martial arts proficiency until she was seventeen…
"Perfection!"
There was an uproar in front of the Lu Mansion. The warriors who were invited here were at least a group of elite soldiers and disciples in the inner courtyard of the shop. How could they not know what perfection was?
When a martial art is perfected, one does not need the basic diagram of internal energy, and can break through to the internal energy on his own!
"This, how is this possible?!"
In the crowd, Wang Gong was dumbfounded and could not believe it. Wu Ming even thought he had heard it wrong.
Liu Zheng and others on the side were also quite surprised. They certainly knew what it meant to perfect the hammer technique in just one year.
For such a genius, poor physique is nothing, internal strength is almost certain to succeed!
"Perfect Cloak Hammer Technique!"
Yue Yunjin was shocked at first, but when he saw the surprise on Fang Yunxiu's face, his heart sank.
……
"One year of martial arts training?"
"There should be a year..."
"How is your family situation?"
"My parents died young, and my family fell into poverty. I entered the forging shop last fall..."
"Have you learned martial arts before?"
"No."
……
Most of the people outside the Lu Mansion had left. Inside the courtyard, Fang Yunxiu asked in a deep voice, and Li Yuan answered every question.
He had not intended to reveal too much, but since he had already revealed it, he had no regrets. It was just the difference between a genius and an even greater genius, and he thought he could bear it now.
"There is such a genius in Gaoliu County?"
Fang Yunxiu was shocked.
The perfection of an inferior martial art is nothing, but there are not many people who can perfect the martial arts hammer method in one year, even in the Zhelong Mansion.
Those geniuses all have family backgrounds and excellent conditions and resources. What does this blacksmith boy who comes from a poor family have?
I’m afraid you haven’t even taken any medicinal pills?
"Take this token. In March next year, you can enter the Divine Weapon Valley with it. Someone will inform me then!"
Fang Yunxiu took out a token with a sword painted on one side and the word "Xiu" written on the other.
"Thank you, Miss Fang!"
Li Yuan took the token with both hands and felt relieved.
With this token, even if Cao Yan hides for a few years and doesn't come back, he can go to Shenbing Valley to become his disciple.
"If you have patience, don't try to break through the inner strength. You can concentrate on practicing the hammer. If you can cultivate to perfection, then even if your bones are average, you may be able to enter the inner gate directly!"
Fang Yunxiu felt much better after receiving such a good seedling. Searching for heroes in the sect was a tough job, but the reward was really generous.
Not to mention, this guy is also a genius in hammering.
"I'm afraid Mr. Han will be ecstatic when he sees this kid?"
Waving his hand and asking Li Yuan to leave, Fang Yunxiu just remembered that his original goal was to catch the thief who stole the Bingdao Fighting Hammer.
“Forget it, let’s look for it tomorrow… With this kid, the thief can’t be caught, and Mr. Han can’t blame me!”
Fang Yunxiu felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off her heart, and her tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed.
"Auntie!"
At this time, Lu Bailing came over, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
"You don't have to think about the token. Even if I give it to you, how can you compete with the real seeds found by other envoys seeking heroes?"
Fang Yunxiu wanted to scold her, but when she thought about how she lost her parents at such a young age, her heart softened.
"No, auntie."
Lu Bailing stamped her feet: "Didn't you say before that you could only give me one token?"
"what?"
Fang Yunxiu finally came to her senses.
It seemed like she had given that boy named Yue a token before?
"Stupid auntie!"
Lu Bailing laughed mercilessly, waved her hand, and walked out the door:
"I know you're shy, I'll go get one for you!"
……
……
Outside Lu Mansion, most people had already dispersed.
When Li Yuan came out, there were still many people outside. In addition to Yue Yunjin and Wu Ming, Liu Zheng, Wen Yida, Huang Peiyao and other young ladies and gentlemen from the inner city were also there.
"Brother Li has kept this from us so difficult!"
"Congratulations, Brother Li..."
"I have already sent someone to set up a banquet at Yizi Restaurant. I hope Brother Li will honor me with his presence!"
……
That night, Yizi Restaurant held another banquet.
