Chapter 101 Revenge “Perhaps fate has blessed me. After giving up the traditional swordsmanship, I found another way and created the Liuyun Sanshou style, and eventually became a grandmaster. In my opinion, "his words reveal a profound philosophy," the key to pursuing the path of becoming a grandmaster is to find and stick to one's own true meaning of martial arts. “Although these words were implicit, they confused most of the people present. Only a few masters who had reached a bottleneck in their cultivation seemed to have their heartstrings touched and comprehended the true meaning. Within the ninth rank, warriors are committed to tempering themselves; once they step into the ranks of grandmasters, they need to build a bridge connecting heaven and earth so that they can control the power of the outside world and use it for their own benefit. However, the difficulty involved is like trying to pick up a smooth glass ball with chopsticks; not everyone can do it. Kung Fu is like a tool. If the chopsticks are not suitable, you need to replace or innovate them to achieve your goal. Otherwise, even if you sense the existence of that power, it is difficult to make it your own. Si Gu Jian nodded in agreement when he heard this, and added, "Master Ye's words are very much in my heart. However, my path to becoming a Grandmaster was paved through the Way of the Sword. I firmly believe that the essence of the Way of the Sword lies in the fusion of the sword's will and the sword's heart. The sword intention must be perfect and the sword heart must be clear before one can enter the realm of the Grandmaster. The formation of sword intention is closely related to the sword skills and skills learned, and is inseparable from the insights gained from countless actual combats. Due to years of fighting, the spirit of killing has been integrated into my sword intent. Every time I cut off a layer of restraint, the sword intent becomes more solid.
Finally, when I cut off all the restraints, my sword intention was complete, my sword heart was clear, and I was promoted to Grandmaster. As for the sword heart, it is related to the original intention and belief of using the sword. Only when the purpose is clear, can the sword be both spiritual and physical, and the sword heart can be truly clear. " After he finished speaking, several strands of sharp sword energy suddenly shot up into the sky, like a dragon soaring into the sky, causing the highly savvy swordsmen present to instantly immerse themselves in the state of enlightenment, with their faces filled with the joy of sudden realization. Seeing this, Si Gu Jian smiled with satisfaction, thinking to himself that this world was truly a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers were hidden. Compared to his own disciples, there were actually many talented people here. He nodded slightly, signaling Wang Shisanlang beside him to go and look for and recruit these talents. After all, no matter where you are, talents are always scarce treasures, especially in the field of kendo, which is even more precious. At this time, Master Ku He nodded slightly and began to recount his experience: “My cultivation path is slightly different from that of the previous two masters. I was able to perceive the Way of Heaven and Man only after I encountered a technique that was extremely compatible with me. Therefore, it may be difficult to directly impart specific experience in this regard to everyone. "When this was said, everyone inevitably felt a little disappointed, thinking that Master Ku He had nothing substantial to share on this trip. However, Ku He changed the subject and said with a smile: "But since I have been invited to this forum, I will naturally not be stingy. Next, I will activate my true essence to create a special environment for you so that you can personally experience the mystery of resonating with the heaven and earth. If anyone can gain some insights from this, I will personally teach them the essence of Tianyi Dao’s skills.” After saying this, Master Ku He closed his eyes and concentrated. An indescribable wave emanated from his body and quickly spread throughout the entire space. Everyone held their breath, concentrated, and used their energy to cherish this rare opportunity. This is not just a verbal teaching, but Master Ku He uses his own cultivation as a guide to directly increase the energy density in the surrounding environment, allowing everyone to try to communicate with the power between heaven and earth. Such an opportunity is rare. If one still cannot gain any insights in such an environment, then perhaps it can only be attributed to the limitations of personal talent. Perhaps one really needs to find another way, such as retiring to the countryside. The path of martial arts may not be the only option. After just a moment, Master Ku He's expression suddenly changed, and he looked extremely solemn, with beads of sweat oozing out of his forehead. This scene made Haitang Duoduo secretly mutter in her heart, When did the master become so concerned about winning or losing? Lang Tao was also stunned. The master in his memory was always so detached and believed in following the laws of nature. When did he become so radical? Time continued to pass, and after a while, the air suddenly erupted with the roar of dozens of true essences colliding. Then everyone let out a long roar of joy as they broke through the bottleneck. Master Ku He sighed softly and slowly withdrew his power, with a trace of fatigue and relief in his eyes. Haitang Duoduo and Lang Tao exchanged glances, and then began to arrange for people to handle the follow-up matters. The three great masters' sermons , it actually enabled nearly a hundred people in the martial arts world to achieve a leap in their cultivation. The news quickly spread among the crowd, arousing the excitement and expectations of countless people. Just as everyone was looking forward with hope to the next sermon from the Xiongba Gang leader, something unexpected happened. A black shadow appeared out of nowhere like a ghost, with a sharp sword in his hand flashing coldly, and he rushed towards Si Gu Jian at lightning speed. This sudden attack plunged the entire scene into tension and chaos. The sword flashed like lightning, rushing past, so fast that it made people feel as if they were in an illusion. Before everyone could react, the dazzling light disappeared without a trace. Immediately afterwards, the assassin's shoulder was pierced by a sharp sword energy, and the weapon in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp clang.
"Humph, you're trying to use my sword skills against me? You're too naive." Si Gu Jian looked down at the assassin with cold eyes, a disdainful smile on his lips. The assassin's figure was hidden in the dark, his face under the mask was twisted and hideous, but he didn't say a word. Li Chengze sighed softly, with a helpless tone: "You shouldn't have come... Even if he is missing an arm, his cultivation level is far beyond your reach." Si Gu Jian's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, and he turned to Li Chengze: "Do you know him?" Li Chengze smiled slightly and revealed a shocking secret: "He is the shadow of the Supervisory Council and also your younger brother. When you massacred the City Lord's Mansion, he was the only survivor. He was saved by Chen Pingping and is now the leader of the Sixth Division." Si Gu Jian heard this and nodded with a complicated expression, then said to the assassin, "Go now. I will spare your life today for the sake of Li Chengze." However, the shadow showed amazing stubbornness: "I want to challenge you! Do you dare to accept the challenge?" As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar all around. "Is this guy crazy? He couldn't even take a single blow just now, yet he still dares to challenge me?" "I really didn't expect that there are still orphans in the family of the Lord of Dongyi City. I'm afraid this grudge will continue to linger." "Speaking of which, if the city lord had not been too harsh on Si Gu Jian, how could this catastrophic disaster have occurred?" "It is hard to imagine what kind of hardships Si Gu Jian went through to make him embark on that endless path of killing alone..." Amid the discussions, Si Gu Jian remained silent. His eyes were deep and complex, as if he was recalling the dusty past. Shadow's challenge was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples and making the whole scene more tense and full of expectations. (End of this chapter)
