I became a Sword Emperor in the Martial Arts World

Chapter 19 I'm Here to Make Friends

When Ye Qingzhou suddenly stood up, the noisy wind around them instantly stopped flowing, and all was silent, as if time had been put on hold.

In that instant, Ye Qingzhou suddenly controlled the airflow within a ten-meter radius!

It wasn't until he casually swung his sword that the stagnant wind finally resumed its flow, and the stagnant, lifeless world instantly returned to its vibrant state.

The scattered breeze condensed and gathered, converging into a sharp sword aura that whistled past Hou Fei.

"Sword...Sword Qi Slash?"

Large beads of sweat slid down Hou Fei's forehead. At that moment, he felt as if his legs were filled with lead, and even his ferocious expression turned into a stiff, mocking smile.

joke!

Sword Qi Slash is a mid-level martial art that only professional martial artists who have mastered the art of wind can master. Moreover, it is the most lethal killing move among mid-level martial arts!

If Ye Qingzhou's sword strike had been slightly off-center, this day next year might have been his death anniversary!

Hou Fei immediately realized that he had messed with the wrong person!

With a single sword strike, Ye Qingzhou snapped out of his daze, tilting his head and looking at Hou Fei with a puzzled expression: "Did you need something from me?"

Just as Huang Liwen was about to remind Ye Qingzhou to be careful, Hou Fei stepped forward first, bowing and scraping, and said, "Yes, yes, I am Hou Fei from Class 2 of Senior Three. I heard that No. 1 High School has produced such a rare talent as you, so I came here specifically to make friends with you, Ye, and get to know each other."

At this moment, Hou Fei had completely suppressed his hostility. It was true that he had a bad temper, but he was not crazy. When faced with a terrifying genius who could unleash a sword qi slash, he still knew what the word "death" meant.

Those around them looked like they'd seen a ghost, not only because of Hou Fei's rapid change of expression, but also because of the sword strike Ye Qingzhou had just unleashed.

At this moment, a sword mark ten meters long remained on the playground, silently telling the story of how terrifying that sword strike had been.

Ye Qingzhou blinked and pointed to Hou Fei's forehead: "Why are you sweating so much?"

Hou Fei raised his right hand tremblingly, wiping the sweat pouring down his forehead. His expression was a mix of embarrassment, fear, and unease: "It's too hot. It's only natural that a fat guy like me sweats a lot."

"Yeah?"

"That's right, that's exactly it."

Hou Fei had a confident expression on his face. He wouldn't dare to cause trouble for Ye Qingzhou anymore, and even wished he had never come today!

He quickly changed the subject, speaking to Ye Qingzhou in a flattering tone, even with a hint of fawning: "By the way, it's so hot today, you must be very thirsty, right? Would you like a drink? It's on me, so please don't be shy."

"Isn't this too expensive?"

"Ye, you're being too polite. It's fate that we met. Everyone at No. 1 High School knows that I, Hou Fei, am the most hospitable and famously generous person."

Patting his chest, Hou Fei laughed heartily, then immediately dashed to the convenience store, bought a bottle of soda, and happily brought it over himself. His attitude was incredibly friendly and warm, perfectly demonstrating the pure and sincere friendship among the students of No. 1 Middle School.

With the scorching sun overhead and an ice-cold soda in his mouth, Ye Qingzhou downed it in one gulp and let out a satisfied burp.

"I never expected that Senior Hou Fei, who is ugly but kind-hearted, would actually buy me a soda. He's such a good person."

Huang Liwen looked speechless: "I think he came here specifically to beat you up and vent his anger."

Ye Qingzhou gulped down several more mouthfuls of soda and casually said, "Don't say things that are detrimental to unity. Besides, I haven't offended him, so why would he come looking for trouble with me?"

"He pursued Xu Yuebing, so he probably sees you as a rival in love."

"???"

Ye Qingzhou was full of questions. What did Hou Fei's failure to win over Xu Yuebing have to do with him?

I didn't even pursue Xu Yuebing!

So women are just troublesome, and the prettier the woman, the more troublesome she is. Luckily, I gave up the idea of ​​marrying into the Xu family, otherwise I don't know how many more messy troubles would have been waiting for me in the future.

How can you improve your martial arts training if you're constantly fighting with a bunch of insects?

Then Ye Qingzhou had a new question: "Since Hou Fei came to cause me trouble, why didn't he make a move? Instead, he offered me a soda?"

Huang Liwen's eye twitched, and he retorted, "Is he probably afraid he can't win an argument with you?"

"What logic are you talking about?"

"Whoever has the bigger fist is right."

Ye Qingzhou nodded in deep agreement: "That's right, this principle is indeed simple and easy to understand. I am a very reasonable person, and I will continue to persuade people with reason and virtue in the future."

Before long, the incident on the playground alarmed Xu Lan.

She rushed over to find Ye Qingzhou, then excitedly touched him all over, almost breaking into a doting smile. She looked at him as if admiring a priceless treasure: "Your wind power has reached its peak?"

In "Six Stances of Military Competition", the six stances of wind, fire, mountain, forest, yin, and thunder are all basic stances, belonging to the lowest level in the martial arts ranking system.

However, a low level does not mean it is unimportant, and no martial artist would dare to underestimate these six basic stances, because low-level martial arts techniques are often the most basic of the basics.

It should be understood that a tall building starts from the ground up; if the foundation is not solid, the taller the building is, the faster it will collapse.

Many of the most powerful mid-level and high-level martial arts techniques in the Eastern Kingdom are developed based on the six basic stances. If the foundation is not solid, the path of martial arts will become more and more difficult as you go further.

Therefore, the higher one's level in mastering the Six Forms, the greater their potential.

For ordinary high school students, it is already extremely difficult to master all six stances to the basic level before graduation. Even for a key municipal high school like No. 1 High School, not everyone can do it.

As for mastering any one of the six skills, that already qualifies one as an elite talent who can reliably get into a university.

Students who can master any two or more of the six stances are even more likely to be admitted to prestigious schools. In the fighting club of No. 1 High School, the chiefs of the four major clubs are all at this level.

If a student can master any stance before graduation, their chance of being recommended to a prestigious university is practically guaranteed. Currently, in the entire No. 1 High School, only Lei Dao Miao Yi, ranked first among the five kings of "sword, fist, palm, and leg," has reached this level.

As for the Great Perfection realm, such people are absolutely geniuses among geniuses. In the more than 100-year history of our school, only two such people have appeared!

That's why Xu Lan was so excited. In just one night, Ye Qingzhou had mastered the Wind Force technique. What kind of heaven-defying talent is this?

Ye Qingzhou shook his head: "I have reached the realm, but unfortunately my physical fitness is not up to par and my foundation is insufficient. As for the sword energy I just unleashed, I used a trick."

Xu Lan smiled and encouraged her, "There's no such thing as shortcuts in martial arts. If you can do it, you can do it, no matter what method you use. Sword Qi Slash, that's a renowned and deadly move even among mid-level martial arts. Even among professional martial artists, very few can master this technique."

As a professional martial artist skilled in swordsmanship, Xu Lan is clearly a knowledgeable expert.

The requirements for mastering the Sword Qi Slash are very high. Not only does it require a high level of Wind Force skill, but it also requires the martial artist to have an extremely high degree of control over their own power in order to gather the power of their whole body and resonate with the inner breath of the wind, and then unleash this flawless sword qi.

This cannot be done by brute force alone; it requires extremely advanced skills.

After her initial excitement, Xu Lan quickly noticed the sword in Ye Qingzhou's hand: "Wait a minute, how come my cousin's Flying Frost Sword is in your hands?"

At this moment, Xu Lan's expression was strange, and her delicate eyebrows were slightly furrowed: "I'm warning you, Ye Qingzhou, don't you dare make a move on my cousin."

"???"

Ye Qingzhou opened his eyes wide, then let out a long sigh: "Teacher Xu, is it possible that your cousin Xu Yuebing is trying to make a move on me?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Xu Lan refused to believe it no matter what. With her cousin Xu Yuebing's arrogant personality, how could she possibly be interested in a straight man like Ye Qingzhou, who was a hopeless case of male chauvinism?

Unless the God of Love was slacking off at work, he didn't really tie the red thread properly!
