Chapter 268 Commentary Guest Gu Xu
While watching the battle, Elder Sun had been holding back his words for a long time.
He couldn't wait to stand up and said in a sharp tone: "Li Zixuan, if I read correctly, the sword technique you use is called 'Falling Rain Sword', and his boxing technique is 'Lion's Roar Fist' '. In the battle just now, you made at least three fatal mistakes. If you made one less mistake, you might have a chance to win.
"First, you use the 'Falling Rain Sword'. The timing of the move was wrong. At that time, he happened to use the second move of the 'Lion's Roar Fist', which was also the only defensive move - it was enough to withstand more than 70% of your sword intent, making you waste your efforts.
“Secondly, when he is accumulating power, you don’t need to try to predict his movement direction at all - because when the ‘Lion’s Roar Fist’ is accumulating fist power, the monk cannot move at all. At least you can’t move because of this. Three empty swords
"Also, I can't understand at all. When you cast the last sword, your opponent was standing less than a foot away in front of you, and you could actually chop the sword crooked?
"It's because Did he beat you so hard just now that your mentality collapsed, your movements became deformed, and you couldn't even hold the sword steady? With your fragile psychological quality, wouldn't you be frightened to death if you encounter powerful ghosts on missions in the future?
"..."
Elder Sun kept talking for a long time, and pointed out all the problems in Li Zixuan's swordsmanship in a stern manner in front of the public. .
If before this, Li Zixuan had just suffered a physical beating; then at this moment, he had received countless mental blows.
The "Luo Yu Sword" that he was so proud of was so full of flaws in front of Elder Sun.
The self-confidence disappeared in an instant.
He put his hands on the ground and struggled to get up from the ground. His head was drooping and his eyes were dull.
Gu Xu glanced at Elder Sun and saw that he was getting more and more excited as he talked, with fire coming out of his nose and foaming at the mouth. It seemed that he had endless fun in finding fault with others.
Quite a "troll" style.
After Elder Sun's comments came to an end, Gu Xu pondered for a moment and said calmly: "Actually, Li Zixuan's last sword slashing the air was not his own problem."
"Whose problem is it? ?" Elder Sun frowned.
With his arrogant and arrogant character, he hates it when others deny his views, especially when he is refuted face to face by a low-level monk like Gu Xu who is too young.
"If I read it correctly, in addition to the 'Lion's Roar Fist', Yao Xiao also masters a secret technique called 'Phantom Spirit Technique'. Its function is to interfere with the opponent's perception. It causes the opponent to hallucinate," Gu Xu explained. "During the process of releasing it, a faint silvery white light will light up in the monk's eyes.
"Yao Xiao uses this 'illusion technique'. This made Li Zixuan misjudge his position.
"This is the key to his victory."
Elder Sun did not respond.
He just squinted his eyes and looked at Yao Xiao standing on the ring - he seemed a little surprised that a muscular man like Yao Xiao, who looked tall and thick, could actually master such insidious tactics.
Yao Xiao on the ring was also stunned for two seconds.
He also did not expect that Gu Xu could see through his trump card at a glance from such a long distance.
You know, Yao Xiao has worked hard and planned for a long time in order to achieve a good result in the "Luoshui Conference".
On the surface, he disguised himself as a "rough and macho" persona, using straightforward and non-fancy martial arts like "Lion's Roar Fist" to make others think that he was practicing " The reckless route of defeating ten guilds with one force.
But in fact, he secretly learned the "phantom technique" that can create illusions, the "soul trapping technique" that can slow down the opponent's thinking, the "breathing technique" that can cover up his true energy, etc. wait.
These spells have one characteristic: there are no fancy light and shadow effects, and they do not need to be triggered by chanting incantations. If you don't look closely, you'll be hard to spot.
During the battle just now, Yao Xiao was standing directly in front of Li Zixuan.
However, under the influence of the "phantom spirit technique", Li Zixuan mistakenly thought that Yao Xiao was standing in front of him to the left, so his sword missed. Then Yao Xiao seized the opportunity and punched him off the ring.
Li Zixuan, not far away, was also filled with emotion.
As a ninth-grade junior official at the Exorcism Department Headquarters, he has always been full of admiration for Gu Xu, who saved Qingzhou Prefecture and won the first prize in the Lantern Festival Tournament.
He originally thought that Gu Xu had only reached the pinnacle in the art of talisman and seal script, and was only at the level of an ordinary genius in other fields.
I didn’t expect that he had such extensive knowledge.
His understanding of worldly Taoism, Dharma, and Martial Arts even surpassed that of fifth-level monks like Elder Sun.
At this time, Gu Xu stood up from his seat with a faint smile on his face, looked at Li Zixuan and said: "Li Jishi, in my personal opinion, your sword skills are exquisite and closely connected. , like a continuous spring rain. You must have spent a lot of time practicing to achieve such proficiency.
“However, in actual combat, you often need to know yourself and the enemy to survive in every battle. You can't just devote yourself to your own martial arts, but also try to understand other Taoist secrets and understand the fighting methods that others may adopt.
"'Falling Rain Sword' is a magic that uses softness to overcome strength. In fact, it has a very strong restraining effect on Yao Xiao's 'Lion Roar Fist' - its third form can just do it silently. Resolving the Fist Intent of the Second and Fourth Forms of the 'Lion's Roar Fist'
"However, maybe because you don't understand the 'Lion's Roar Fist', you just missed two very important things. The key to winning. ”
Hearing Gu Xu's words, Li Zixuan took a deep breath, then clasped his hands into fists, bowed to Gu Xu and said, "I would like to thank Mr. Gu for his teaching."
Because there were too many people in attendance. , the audition for the "Luoshui Conference" is extremely demanding.
As long as you lose one game in the first round, you will be completely disqualified.
However, when Li Zixuan left the ring and returned to the vast sea of people, his frustration disappeared completely without even realizing it.
There was even joy in his eyes.
Li Zixuan can be regarded as a martial arts fanatic.
Ever since he worked hard in the Exorcism Department and accumulated enough merits to exchange for the middle-grade martial arts "Raindrop Sword", he has been practicing hard day and night, regardless of wind or rain, without resting. I hope that one day I can become famous and show off my power.
However, even if Li Zixuan has mastered every move of "The Falling Rain Sword" to perfection, he still mostly loses in private duels with his colleagues.
He was puzzled by this.
He has always felt that his dismal results were not worthy of his long-term hard work.
But today, when Gu Xu pointed out the reason sharply, Li Zixuan suddenly became enlightened and the knot in his heart was solved.
"No wonder Master Gu, although he only has cultivation level of the third realm, is highly regarded by the Chief Secretary and can sit on the same seat as the elders of the Crazy Blade Sect of the fifth realm," he kept thinking in his heart He praised, "This kind of talent, this kind of vision, this kind of knowledge, it is comparable to the reincarnation of a god." Then, Gu Xu turned to look at Yao Xiao standing on the ring, and said to him: "Yao Shaoxia, I personally I believe that any tactic that can lead to victory is a good tactic if allowed by the rules. However, without sufficient hard power to support it, any means or underhanded tactics will be just a castle in the air.
“In the battle just now, you used the ‘Lion’s Roar Fist’ and ‘Phantom Spirit Technique’, two martial arts with completely different styles and artistic conceptions, together. I appreciate your approach very much.
“However, you cannot spend too much time and energy on studying issues such as ‘how to deceive your opponent’ while neglecting the practice and consolidation of martial arts itself.
"I noticed that the connection between the fourth and fifth moves of your 'Lion's Roar Fist' is relatively stiff, and your proficiency is obviously slightly worse than other moves. Fortunately, Li Zixuan doesn't know much about 'Lion's Roar Fist' , otherwise if he seizes the opportunity, the result of this competition may be different.
"In addition, in the selection rounds of the 'Luoshui Conference', you will only encounter opponents. They will become more and more powerful - their vision may even be more vicious than mine.
“The activation of 'Phantom Spirit' may be concealed enough, but it is only a mid-level spell, and it is not an undisclosed secret. There are many people who know about it.
" If you rely too much on such tactics, they are likely to take advantage of it and set a trap for you.
“This is some advice from me personally!”
After Gu Xu finished speaking, Yao Xiao also bowed to him and said, "Thank you, Mr. Gu, for your guidance!"
But the expression on his face did not fluctuate, and he didn't know that he had Didn't listen.
In the next more than half an hour, the practitioners stepped onto the stage in pairs according to the results of the pre-drawn lots. The winner was promoted and the loser was eliminated.
Gu Xu, Yang Jiong and Elder Sun Mao sat on the city gate, watching the battle quietly.
Whenever a duel ends, Elder Sun will stand up excitedly and make an impassioned speech with an extremely critical and strict attitude.
Basically, after listening to his "venomous comments", every contestant will become gray-faced and feel like they have a lump in their throat.
In contrast, Gu Xu’s comments are relatively “high in emotional intelligence”.
For example, when Elder Sun said, "Your move is full of flaws," Gu Xu would say, "Your move still has a lot of room for improvement."
For example, when Elder Sun said, "Your sword skills are nondescript," Gu Xu would say, "You seem to have your own ideas in swordsmanship."
For example, when Elder Sun said, "A careless person like you is not suitable at all for using the 'Fanhua' knife technique, which is famous for its complexity and meticulousness. It is a mistake from beginning to end."
Gu Xu would say, "Why don't you try the "Overlord Sword Technique"! A young monk like you who looks domineering at first glance should like this kind of martial arts that is open and close, and moves forward in an indomitable way."
For example, when Elder Sun said, "He is clearly a rough man, but when he swings the sword, he looks like a girl, soft and powerless."
Gu Xu would say, "Why don't you try to learn how to draw talismans in the future? You might be more talented in talismans";
......
As for Luo Jing Yang Jiong, the governor, sat on the chair and became a "mascot".
At the end of each duel, he would either applaud or slap his thigh to cheer the winner.
His lines are limited to the following: "Good", "Wonderful", "Awesome", "You guys opened my eyes today", etc.
After all, as a mortal, he couldn't even recognize the realm and moves of the monks, let alone comment on the details.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it’s the last competition this morning.
In Gu Xu’s opinion, this should be the highest quality strong matchup this morning.
One of them is a female student from Longmen Academy, named Hu Xiaoyun. She has a delicate face and a slim figure. She is wearing the gray and white robe of the academy. Her hair is tied up high and fixed with a simple wooden hairpin, giving her a very bookish temperament.
When her name was called, her eyes wandered and she seemed a little nervous.
But Gu Xu noticed that there was a large pile of thick talisman seals clutched in her hands - this undoubtedly showed that she was not a weak little girl, but a talisman with considerable strength. build.
After entering the ring, Hu Xiaoyun pretended to glance at Gu Xu at the city gate casually, then quickly lowered her head, with a faint blush on her cheeks.
Luojing Prefecture Yin Yang Jiong was keenly aware of the girl's little movements.
He looked at Gu Xu with a smile and said jokingly: "Mr. Gu, this little girl seems to be your admirer."
Gu Xu smiled and said nothing.
He knew that since the much-anticipated Fu Dao battle, more than half of the female students in Longmen Academy, as well as some male students, had become his fans - but he didn't know how many of them there were. Is it a Yan powder, how many of it is a Mu Qiang powder.
The other person is a tall young man.
He has a dark complexion, an unshaven beard, a bitter face, and a listless appearance. Although the information stated that his age was thirty-five years old, Gu Xu always felt that this man looked forty or fifty years old.
From the information, Gu Xu learned that this person's name was Bai Chen and he was a casual cultivator.
Since these two people are both third-level monks and are among the higher-level contestants today, all onlookers are full of expectations for their performance.
Although Hu Xiaoyun from Longmen Academy looks weak, she is not soft at all when it comes to fighting.
As soon as the gongs and drums sounded, she quickly recited the incantation and threw the three talismans in her hand to her opponent in turn.
Gu Xu could tell at a glance that one of the three talismans she used was a "fixing talisman" that could fix the opponent in place for three seconds - it was not very powerful, but it had its advantages The spell is extremely short and takes effect almost instantly.
The other two talismans are both "true flame talismans" - as the name suggests, its function is to create flames and burn the opponent.
From these two talismans, Gu Xu saw her tactics: fixing the opponent in place and baking it with fire.
She also recited the spell very smoothly. It was obvious that this was not the first time she used this trick.
But Bai Chen on the opposite side was not panicked at all.
