Chapter 30 The Disciple is Arrogant, the Master Offers Assistance
"Practical training... +5".
Snow Mountain Sword Technique Perfected (985/1000).
Shi Zhongyu suppressed his joy.
However, after a few moves, the improvement in swordsmanship proficiency slowed down again.
"Practical training... +1".
"Practical training... +1".
Snow Mountain Sword Technique Perfected (987/1000).
Shi Zhongyu could not tolerate this.
While parrying Xu Wenbin's sword moves, he continued to exert verbal pressure!
"Xu Wenbin, you're really a good-for-nothing. To others, you might be a genius!"
"But in front of me, you really are just a piece of trash!"
"The reason you can fight me to a standstill now is because you started learning the basics earlier than me!"
"If I had started earlier, you wouldn't even be worthy of carrying my shoes!"
Shi Zhongyu's loud and humiliating words made Xu Wenbin's eyes turn completely red.
"Shi Zhongyu, I'm going to kill you!"
In an instant, Xu Wenbin's swordplay became even more ferocious.
Feng Wanli and the others on the stands, as well as the other disciples below the stands.
As they listened to Shi Zhongyu's constant verbal insults and provocations towards Xu Wenbin, their expressions became somewhat strange.
The disciples below the stage couldn't understand it.
However, Feng Wanli and the others in the stands seemed to understand.
"He wanted to use words to make Xu Wenbin make a mistake!"
Geng Wanzhong murmured, "Highly talented and cunning, he's bound to achieve great things in the future!"
Hua Wanzi heard this and was not satisfied with the words "scheming".
"That's called intelligence!"
Geng Wanzhong gave an awkward smile.
"Yes, yes, very clever..."
He also admitted in his heart that Shi Zhongyu was indeed very intelligent.
Bai Wanjian, however, frowned and said, "That's true, but if we're not careful, we could make our opponent even stronger!"
"And it increases the danger to him; this is not something to be encouraged!"
People in the martial arts world, especially those who have been famous for a long time, all know that if they provoke their opponent, it may cause the opponent's martial arts skills to temporarily improve.
In their martial arts competition, even the slightest difference can determine the outcome of a battle.
Listening to his fellow disciples' words, Du Wanchuan cursed Shi Zhongyu inwardly for being utterly despicable, but he was also concerned about the disciples on the platform.
He hoped his disciples would never, ever be fooled.
After hearing Bai Wanjian's words, everyone looked towards the martial arts stage.
They discovered, just as Bai Wanjian had said.
Xu Wenbin not only did not reveal any flaws, but his sword moves became sharper and his footwork more complicated.
His lightness skill had actually improved briefly.
Seeing this, Hua Wanzi felt worried.
"Practical training...proficiency +5."
"Actual...proficiency +5."
"Actual...proficiency +3."
"Snow Mountain School's Three Sword Techniques are now complete, proficiency +0."
Finally, it's all done.
Seeing Li Wenbin's eyes turn red, Shi Zhongyu no longer held back his power.
This kid just wanted to teach him a lesson, but now he's going to make him face reality!
Shi Zhongyu's eyes turned cold, and he gracefully glided out, leaving no trace on the snow, thus avoiding the attack.
Before Xu Wenbin could retract his sword and defend, Shi Zhongyu suddenly accelerated his movements, his wrist flicked, and the sword flipped, striking Xu Wenbin's cheek heavily with the spine of the blade.
"Snapped!"
A loud, crisp sound echoed throughout the entire training ground!
Shi Zhongyu's sword strike was powerful and heavy!
Xu Wenbin was knocked to the side by the blow, and his figure fell sideways onto the martial arts stage.
When Xu Wenbin struggled to his feet, the disciples below the stage all gasped in shock.
At this moment, half of Xu Wenbin's cheek swelled up instantly, turning red and purple, with a clear sword mark across his face.
Those who had been slapped in the face by Shi Zhongyu, including Li Zhongyi, couldn't help but touch their own cheeks.
Shi Zhongyu stared at Xu Wenbin expressionlessly, then pointed his long sword at Xu Wenbin.
"Want to come again?"
Xu Wenbin covered his swollen left cheek, and his other hand, which was gripping the hilt of his sword, was trembling.
His eyes were filled with murderous intent as he looked at Shi Zhongyu.
"I……"
Before he could finish speaking, Shi Zhongyu suddenly disappeared from his sight.
Before he could react, everything went black.
A black shoe sole kicked him in the face.
Bang!
Xu Wenbin was sent flying off the training platform and crashed heavily to the ground.
This time, Xu Wenbin has no chance of getting back up!
From the stands, Du Wanchuan suddenly stood up and angrily shouted, "Shi Zhongyu, you've gone too far!"
Upon hearing Du Wanchuan's words, Shi Zhongyu suddenly chuckled.
Du Wanchuan shouted sternly, "Shi Zhongyu, what are you laughing at?"
Shi Zhongyu raised his sword and pointed it at Du Wanchuan.
"That's enough!"
"In terms of seniority, I call you Uncle Du, but that's just to show my respect for your seniority!"
"As for martial arts, you are no match for either my parents or my master!"
"What gives you the nerve to lecture me?"
As Shi Zhongyu spoke, he took a breath and stared coldly at Du Wanchuan.
"My parents made me join the Snow Mountain Sect to practice martial arts! Not to be provoked by some Tom, Dick, or Harry!"
"I ask myself, since I started this school, have I ever offended anyone!"
"Of course, there are always some jerks who come and bother me!"
As Shi Zhongyu spoke, his gaze swept around his surroundings.
"If it weren't for my master and Martial Uncle Hua, I wouldn't want to stay in this Snow Mountain Sect!"
"I'm not exaggerating, but it's your sect's good fortune, not my honor, that I was able to join the Snow Mountain Sect!"
Du Wanchuan was furious upon hearing this.
"Shi Zhongyu, you're too arrogant!"
Shi Zhongyu disdains it.
"Reckless?"
"Uncle Du, when you were my age, were you timid and easily bullied?"
His words were full of sarcasm.
That was you, not me!
"My parents are the renowned Black and White Heroes of the martial arts world, and my master is the acting leader of the Snow Mountain Sect!"
"Besides being my senior uncle according to seniority, does your Uncle Du have any other identity?"
"I'm telling you right now, from now on, whether it's you, your master, or your disciple, stay away from anything else!"
Du Wanchuan's face trembled, and he turned to look at Feng Wanli.
"Senior Brother Feng, is this the disciple you taught? How could he be so disrespectful to his elders!"
Feng Wan remained expressionless, instead saying calmly, "It's enough that he sees me as his master!"
Du Wanchuan couldn't believe it.
Feng Wanli is known for his strength, composure, and gentleness; he rarely argues with them.
What's wrong today?
Feng Wanli ignored Du Wanchuan. Although Du Wanchuan was his junior brother, his martial arts skills were really not good.
His gaze was fixed on Cheng Zixue, his imposing presence palpable.
"Elder Cheng, what do you think of my personally taught disciple's martial arts skills now?"
"To have progressed from beginner to mastery of martial arts in less than two weeks—that's unprecedented in the history of our Snow Mountain Sect, isn't it?"
"How does my disciple's talent compare to yours?"
As Feng Wanli spoke, he added casually, "Uncle-Master Cheng, if my disciple were to reach your age, I wonder if he would be renowned throughout the martial world?"
Some people understood the meaning behind Feng Wanli's words: he was referring to Cheng Zixue, who, despite his age, had not achieved widespread fame.
Considering Feng Wanli's current reputation in the martial arts world, they realized that he could indeed say such a thing.
On the martial arts stage, Shi Zhongyu felt extremely pleased when he heard his master's words.
He is clearly the sect leader's personal disciple and the future leader of the Snow Mountain Sect.
Even when considering the bigger picture, one cannot be subservient.
What is Elder Cheng anyway? He has no reputation in the martial arts world, just a nobody by the roadside!
Within the sect, they rely on their seniority and act arrogantly.
This old thing should have retired long ago!
In today's competition, besides demonstrating his swordsmanship, he also wanted to tell everyone in the Snow Mountain Sect.
Don't come near him!
He thought he had performed very well, but he never expected his master to help him so perfectly.
Meanwhile, Cheng Zixue, sitting on the stands, listened to Feng Wanli's words and the gazes of the disciples.
He felt a sharp pain in his chest.
puff!
Cheng Zixue coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed limply.
The person sitting next to Cheng Zixue exclaimed in surprise.
"Growing Old!"
"Elder..."
One by one, everyone panicked and became flustered.
