Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 727 Sect Competition

After being hit five times, Liu Xingyun ultimately lost the fight.

Many people around sighed in agreement, realizing that Hu Wei had indeed won.

"Hahaha, I knew Liu Xingyun was overestimating himself, daring to challenge Senior Brother Hu Wei."

"I had already anticipated this outcome."

"But Liu Xingyun is not bad either. He actually countered Senior Brother Hu Wei four times, and he was just a little short."

"Liu Xingyun has only been a disciple for a little over a month. Under the tutelage of Peak Master Li, he will probably be able to surpass Senior Brother Hu Wei sooner or later."

The man next to Yu Changsheng chuckled and said, "See? I told you that Senior Brother Hu Wei would win. It seems that Senior Brother Hu Wei is still the strongest among the younger generation of the Yujian Peak of my Wanxiang Sect."

Yu Changsheng, observing this, also inquired:

"Who is Hu Wei studying under now?"

The man said, "Now, Senior Brother Hu Wei doesn't have a master. He's always been learning alongside most of us."

"Oh?"

Yu Changsheng was also somewhat puzzled by this, as Hu Wei's understanding of swordsmanship was indeed quite good.

Moreover, their own abilities are also quite impressive.

A cultivator with such talent should have already been noticed by some elders and peak masters of the sect and taken as a disciple.

But now the situation is quite the opposite; such a talented disciple is being ignored.

Moreover, it was within the Sword Control Peak, a place specifically for sword-wielding.

The man sighed helplessly, "Alas, who knows? I guess when Senior Brother Hu Wei entered the sect, he offended a disciple within the sect, which is why he has been targeted at every turn."

Yu Changsheng immediately frowned and asked, "How did this matter come about?"

The man sighed, "It seems that when Senior Brother Hu Wei had just joined the sect, he defeated an elder's grandson during the sect's test."

"This caused the elder's grandson to lose face, which led to the elder's grandson holding a grudge. From then on, Senior Brother Hu Wei was targeted."

"However, these are all just speculations, and I have no idea what the specifics are."

Yu Changsheng nodded slightly, his gaze turning cold: "What's the elder's grandson's name? And which peak does that elder belong to?"

That man, however, did not want to discuss the matter further, and said to Yu Changsheng:

"You'd better not ask about this kind of thing. It won't do you any good. If you spread it around and it gets back to me, I can't afford to take the blame."

Upon seeing this, Yu Changsheng also took out a spirit stone and stuffed it into the man's pocket.

"I'm very tight-lipped. Besides, why would I say something I don't know? Wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?"

"Don't worry about that."

The man touched the spirit stones in his pocket and smiled with satisfaction.

"Hehe, bro, I didn't tell you for your own good."

"If this gets out, you and I will be in big trouble."

"But since you want to find out about this, I'll tell you about it."

"Actually, the disciple who was defeated by Senior Brother Hu Wei was named Hu Huaiyi, and Hu Huaiyi's grandfather was none other than Hu Yongqi, an outer sect elder of our Imperial Sword Peak."

"Hu Yongqi..."

Yu Changsheng murmured the name, though he only had a vague impression of this person.

Although he had visited Yujian Peak quite a few times.

But after all, it's impossible for Yu Changsheng to know everyone in the sect, big and small.

However, he did have some impression of Hu Yongqi, who was one of the cultivators that Li Jiran compared.

The fact that he was able to hold such an important position as an outer sect elder speaks volumes.

These outer sect elders practically controlled all the outer sect disciples of Yujian Peak.

If an outer disciple offends such a person, it's practically a death sentence, with no hope of ever rising again.

"Okay, thank you for letting me know."

The man waved his hand and said, "Alas, it's just a pity about Senior Brother Hu Wei. He'll probably remain buried in the outer sect forever."

After the fight ended, the crowds slowly dispersed, leaving only Liu Xingyun standing there.

Looking at the sword in his hand, Liu Xingyun was still reminiscing about the battle and how he had been defeated by Hu Wei.

As for Hu Wei, he was about to leave when he was suddenly stopped by Yu Changsheng.

Please wait a moment.

Hu Wei glanced at Yu Changsheng and saw that the other man looked young and was carrying a sword on his back, so he assumed that he was another person who had come to challenge him.

"I'm tired today. If I want to take on a challenge, I'll do it another time."

However, Yu Changsheng said:

"Hehe, you misunderstood. I'm not here to challenge you; I just want to ask you a question."

Hu Wei frowned, but still patiently asked:

"What do you want to ask?"

Yu Changsheng said, "I just want to know if you have some kind of grudge against Hu Huaiyi?"

Upon hearing Yu Changsheng ask this question, Hu Wei immediately became wary.

He gripped the sword tightly in his hand.

"What does this have to do with you? Are you here for revenge too?"

Yu Changsheng said, "We can discuss the sparring later, but this time, it's not about fighting you."

Upon seeing this, Hu Wei put away his sword.

"Could it be that you're not one of Hu Huaiyi's men?"

Yu Changsheng said, "When did I say I was Hu Huaiyi's man? But judging from your expression, it seems that Hu Huaiyi has come to cause you trouble more than once?"

Hu Wei sheathed his sword and then said, "Since you are not Hu Huaiyi's man, this matter has nothing to do with you."

Then, Hu Wei turned around and prepared to leave.

However, Yu Changsheng simply threw the sword in his hand in front of Hu Wei, blocking his way.

"How can this matter be none of my business? We are all disciples of the Myriad Manifestations Sect, and we should be of one mind and one heart. Why can't I get involved?"

Hu Wei, with his back turned, said to him:

"Since you are a disciple of the Myriad Manifestations Sect, you should know that Hu Huaiyi's grandfather was Hu Yongqi. Could it be that you are unaware of this?"

"Within this outer sect, whoever offends Hu Yongqi is doomed to die."

Yu Changsheng asked, "Since you know this, why did you still offend Hu Yongqi? If that's the case, wouldn't it have been better to lose that battle?"

After a moment of silence, Hu Wei did not respond to Yu Changsheng. Instead, he pulled out the sword in front of him and tossed it back into Yu Changsheng's hand.

"You'd better mind your own business."

Having said that, Hu Wei stopped listening to Yu Changsheng and turned to leave.

After he had walked away, Yu Changsheng clicked his tongue and said, "Heh, you do have some backbone, but I wonder if that backbone will get you killed!"

Yu Changsheng then looked at Liu Xingyun, who was standing to the side.

At this moment, Liu Xingyun seemed to have noticed the commotion at Yu Changsheng's place, but he seemed to still be savoring the previous battle.

After a while, he finally stood up from the fighting platform.

Liu Xingyun quickly arrived in front of Yu Changsheng, cupped his hands in greeting, and said:

"Senior brother, I have some newly mastered sword techniques and happen to lack a sparring partner. I noticed earlier that you seemed interested in challenging Senior Brother Hu Wei, so you must be quite skilled."

"I wonder if I could have a friendly spar with you?"

Seeing this, Yu Changsheng nodded and did not refuse.

He also wanted to personally experience the new generation of genius from the Myriad Manifestations Sect.

The two of them also arrived at the fighting arena.

This situation immediately attracted a lot of people to come and watch.

"Look, it's those two newly recruited geniuses again. I didn't expect them to come back after just one match!"

"But who is he facing? Could he also be a disciple of our Imperial Sword Peak? I've never seen him before."

"Yes, they look unfamiliar. They must be disciples from other peaks."

"Are disciples from other peaks also challenging our peak's people?"

"However, Liu Xingyun has just been in battle, so why does it seem like he's taking advantage of someone in distress?"

The latest novel is first published here!

Before long, a large crowd gathered around.

Yu Changsheng tossed the sword in his hand. This sword was not the Purple Spirit Emperor Sword, given its current quality.

If he were to actually use it to bully someone, Liu Xingyun's precious sword probably wouldn't even last a moment before it was shattered.

This sword is merely a first-tier level treasure sword, roughly on par with Liu Xingyun's magic weapon, so using it is naturally no problem.

Liu Xingyun also gripped his sword tightly, and after reflecting on his earlier realization, his eyes hardened.

"Come on, attack me all you want, I'll handle it."

Yu Changsheng nodded slightly, but instead of using his spiritual power, he directly slashed at Liu Xingyun.

Yu Changsheng's move was almost entirely devoid of any skill.

The only thing is that its strength is unusually great.

The greatest truths are the simplest; truly fierce sword techniques don't necessarily need to be fancy.

Skills are most effective when the strength difference between the two sides is not significant.

When the difference in strength is too great, the gap that skill can ultimately bridge is limited.

Just now, Hu Wei defeated Liu Xingyun using this very method.

Yu Changsheng also drew on Hu Wei's winning strategy, only he used even more force than Hu Wei.

Faced with such an offensive, Liu Xingyun immediately made a move, turning his sword to attack Yu Changsheng's wrist.

Yu Changsheng smiled slightly. "This is the solution you came up with?"

Yu Changsheng did indeed make an even bolder move.

He released the sword from his hand and slapped his palm onto Liu Xingyun's sword.

The instant his sword fell, Yu Changsheng also kicked, sending the sword hurtling towards Liu Xingyun.

Yu Changsheng's palm strike was extremely powerful. Liu Xingyun felt his entire arm go numb, and he even had difficulty gripping the sword in his hand.

Yu Changsheng's sudden attack left him almost unable to react.

He quickly turned his neck, barely managing to dodge Yu Changsheng's sword strike.

However, Yu Changsheng no longer had a sword in his hand at this moment.

Liu Xingyun, confident of victory, hastily launched another attack.

However, to everyone's surprise, Yu Changsheng flicked his hand, and a new magic weapon appeared in his hand again.

Having withstood Liu Xingyun's attack, the two exchanged blows for a few exchanges. Although Liu Xingyun was able to withstand Yu Changsheng's attacks...

However, each time they tried to resist, it became more and more difficult.

Soon, Liu Xingyun was also unable to resist and kept retreating until he finally fell off the fighting platform, which could be considered a loss.

Yu Changsheng smiled slightly and asked, "How is it? It seems that the solution you wanted is not working."

Liu Xingyun retorted indignantly, "You clearly cheated by using two swords!"

Yu Changsheng, however, dismissed it, saying, "How can this be considered cheating?"

"Do you really think that when you're fighting, the enemy only has one weapon? If you really think that, you'll only end up with a miserable death."

"Today, Hu Wei will teach you how to overcome all techniques with brute force, but I will tell you the skills for real combat."

"you…"

Liu Xingyun was speechless for a moment. Although he wanted to refute it, it was clear that he quickly understood that everything Yu Changsheng said was true.

In a real battle, his carelessness and negligence could cost him his life.

"I understand. Please continue to guide me."

Liu Xingyun was neither an arrogant person nor someone who couldn't accept his own mistakes.

Since Yu Changsheng had the strength to defeat him, he naturally had the corresponding respect for him.

Seeing that he was quite humble, Yu Changsheng's impression of him immediately improved considerably.

"That's right. I heard you recently became a disciple of Peak Master Li Jiran?"

"Exactly."

Liu Xingyun nodded slightly and asked again:

"By the way, I sparred with you before, but I didn't know your name. With such strength, you must be quite well-known within the sect. How come I've never heard of you before?"

Yu Changsheng laughed and said, "I'm in a similar situation to you. It's normal that you haven't heard of it."

Liu Xingyun was also taken aback. Could it be that Yu Changsheng was also a newcomer?

"May I ask your honorable surname? Perhaps we will have more opportunities to exchange skills in the future."

"Li San".

Yu Changsheng then said a name, but did not intend to reveal his identity directly for the time being.

"Li San".

Liu Xingyun shook his head, laughing and crying, unsure whether such a casual name was genuine or not.

But upon closer reflection, it seems there's no reason for the other party to deliberately deceive me.

Such a simple name may not necessarily be fake.

"Brother Li, how about we share a drink?"

Yu Changsheng said, "Let's talk about drinking later. I have other important matters to attend to right now."

"Would it be convenient for me to give you a hint? Maybe I can be of help."

Yu Changsheng smiled and said, "I really need your help with this matter. It wouldn't be convenient for anyone else."

Liu Xingyun's face stiffened. He was just being polite, but he didn't expect Yu Changsheng to be so direct.

However, since the words have already been spoken, it seems inappropriate to take them back.

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and say:

"Alright, in that case, tell me. As long as it's within my ability, I'll help."

"However, I should let you know beforehand that I have just joined the Myriad Manifestations Sect and my influence is limited. There may be some things I cannot do to help."

Yu Changsheng did indeed say:

"It's alright. Since it's something I want your help with, it's definitely something you can do."

"Furthermore, if you can help me with this, I certainly won't let Brother Liu do any work for me." (End of Chapter)
