Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 603: The Lonely Person

(9)

From then on, Bai Feng was obsessed with martial arts. He spent all day lingering in front of the cliff carvings and practicing martial arts with Yu Ke. While he was summarizing the key points of martial arts, he was also teaching Yu Ke everything he had learned. Slowly, they might not become the most tacit partners, but Yu Ke had become one of the people who understood Bai Feng the most.

"This sword technique is good at dealing with situations where multiple people are attacking, because the more enemies there are, the more thoughts and distractions there are." Bai Feng told Yu Ke: "If the sword techniques I used before were more practical and I swung the sword out of survival instinct, then the 'Spirit Snake Sword Style' is a sword technique that exists purely for knowing yourself and surpassing yourself. No, rather than a sword technique, it's more like a kind of knowledge or attitude about yourself."

"Ake, I'm swinging my sword towards you now. Will your first reaction be to dodge or to fight back?" Bai Feng asked, holding up his sword.

Yu Ke glanced at Bai Feng and thought, "If I follow my brother's previous teachings, I should take the initiative to avoid fighting before knowing the opponent's strength to avoid encountering more unknown dangers. However, I know that I will definitely not be able to catch my brother's sword, so I can only choose to dodge."

"If I don't want you to hide, I hope we can directly compete in the depth of sword moves. What do you think I will do?" Bai Feng opened his arms and let Yu Ke imagine freely.

Yu Ke seemed to see Bai Feng slowly walking towards him. His powerful aura was so oppressive that he dared not attack at all. In a hurry, he could only choose a direction to dodge and escape. At this moment, the Longming Sword blocked his way.

Yu Ke therefore said: "My sworn brother will do nothing and wait for me to show my weakness, and then suddenly draw his sword and win with one move!" She summed up what she had just thought in one sentence, which was concise and accurate.

"Ake is indeed studying swordsmanship every day. If it were me in the past, I would definitely do the same! The most valuable experience my master taught me is to remain constant in the face of ever-changing situations. But now, everything is different." Bai Feng said this lightly, making others think that he had changed himself without any inner struggle.

In fact, for those who practice martial arts, giving up the self-defense martial arts that have been with them for a long time and turning to practice other more advanced skills is a very painful thing. It is like asking a person who is used to worshipping gods to suddenly read the Four Books and Five Classics. This is not only a betrayal of faith, but also a sacrifice of those things that once protected his body and soul.

But Bai Feng behaved exceptionally indifferently.

Yu Ke was suspicious, Bai Feng raised his sword with murderous intent, Murong Yan said, "Don't really do it, I won't forgive you if you hurt our A Ke!"

Bai Feng approached with his sword raised, muttering, "If I let you guess, I will no longer be myself."

After saying that, the Dragon Roaring Sword stabbed at Yu Ke like a violent storm, but none of the swords really stabbed her. All of them were like feints - approaching, lightly tapping the sword, and then quickly retracting it, repeating this process over and over again.

As if a snake is testing its enemy, its pointed head keeps moving forward, but its fangs will only be exposed when it sees an absolute opportunity.

Facing Bai Feng's active attack, Yu Ke was unable to defend herself. Every time she wanted to dodge, Bai Feng seemed to be able to predict the future and would point his sword in advance, forcing her to choose another direction to dodge.

  —Wait, another direction?

Before she knew it, she had been forced to the river bank. At this moment, Bai Feng swung the hilt of the sword again, pretending to hit her head. Yu Ke was startled and fell directly into the river!

"Hahaha..." Bai Feng covered his stomach and laughed wildly: "I say, are you so scared of me? You've really been hiding!"

"Damn it!" Yu Ke gritted her teeth and climbed up the shore. She was soaked. The half-ripe girl's body was very strange. Her long and thin limbs and slightly protruding chest rose and fell with the rhythm of her breathing. Her long hair was wet and stuck to her face. But Yu Ke didn't want to rest. She tied her hair again, rolled up her skirt and trouser legs, took off her shoes, stood in front of Bai Feng again, and asked: "Brother, your swordsmanship is completely different from before! It's simply... dazzling!"

"Because I know very well that you can't beat me in swordsmanship, but I don't want to hurt you at all, so I choose to defeat you without hurting you." Bai Feng said: "All I used were fake moves and fancy moves, but A Ke didn't even fight back once? To be honest, I'm quite disappointed. A Ke, you don't know yourself well enough."

Yu Ke was puzzled and asked, "What do you want me to do, brother?"

"Know yourself." Bai Feng said, "Spirit Snake Sword Control Style, the so-called sword control is to control yourself! Only by fully understanding your own strengths and weaknesses can you know what you can and cannot do, and then it is possible to control your opponent and predict the opponent's next move before the opponent."

Yu Ke hung his head, still confused: "Control my enemies? I am not as good as my brother in swordsmanship. Can I do such a thing?"

"The most brilliant swordsmanship in the world is to command your enemy to collide with your sword!" Bai Feng sneered, "It may sound a bit mysterious, but in fact, Ake, you have already done it once when you were a child. Do you remember your battle with the giant Zhu Dian? You forced him back by yourself, but he was a powerful monk! Normally, how could a girl like you win? But you beat him and almost took his life."

Yu Ke looked at his sword and smiled with relief.

"Ake, think about it carefully, can you really not catch my sword now?" Bai Feng raised the sword again and laughed secretly: "You are already a grown-up girl. If some young talent comes to propose marriage to me one day, I can't stop him~~~"

Yu Ke jumped over like a leap of joy and stabbed with his body. Bai Feng took the sword and turned over to stab, tearing Yu Ke's collar. Seeing this, Murong Yan shouted angrily: "Bai Feng, I told you not to do anything serious, but you ignored my words!"

"I accidentally lost control of my sword move!" After sheathing the sword, Bai Feng looked at Yu Ke apologetically and said, "To know how capable you are, you still need time to hone your skills. After all, not everyone can predict the future."

Murong Yan walked over angrily and complained, "Are you telling A Ke that I'm wrong? You two are such a fool. You haven't gotten tired of staying in this place for so many days."

"That's impossible. Yan'er, you've been the best to us. What else could you have done wrong?" Bai Feng smiled at Yu Ke and said, "I was just saying that if a talented young man from some family came to propose marriage one day, I couldn't stop him..."

Murong Yan asked, "Who are you going to propose to? Xi'er is still young, it can't be A Ke, right? Brother Feng, why don't you ask her if she is willing?"

Yu Ke then said unceremoniously: "I don't want to, it's fine here."

"Sometimes, acting according to one's own wishes will not bring good results." Bai Feng said earnestly, and suddenly adjusted his posture, straightened his chest and looked at the woods behind him, and shouted: "You have been watching for several days, don't you want to come out and meet me today? Yuwen Xuan, Master Yuwen?"

After he finished speaking, Yu Wenxuan, dressed in casual clothes, walked out of the woods.
