When Wu Qizheng mentioned "the number one genius in Jiu Province".
Inside the manor, it suddenly became a bit quiet.
Fully absorbed in Qiao Xin’s handwritten "Blood Origin Skill", Xue Changhe was attracted by it and looked up.
Beneath the shade of a large tree nearby, a stone sword trembled slightly.
The little Jingwei Bird in front of Qiao Xin, who was tidying up feathers, also raised its head.
The top martial artists who can reach the pinnacle in martial arts are not ordinary people, they need talent, aptitude, hard work, and opportunity.
Characters like Demon Spear Qing Li, Xue Changhe the head of Xue family, and Earth Sword Immortal are all like this.
At twenty years old, Xue Changhe completed the usual path of many generations of Xue family members, inheriting the leadership of the Xue family and seen as a genius expected to end the thousand-year curse of the Xue family.
Demon Spear Qing Li, chosen by the Yunxiao Sect, inherited the skills of the Spear Saint, proving to be a talented individual surpassing expectations.
Earth Sword Immortal goes without saying.
They are all shining earthly heroes, who hasn’t been praised as a genius before?
And when Wu Qizheng started with that sentence, he indeed struck a chord with their hearts.
"A peerless genius?" Xue Changhe glanced at Wu Mingkong, his expression calm.
He too, once a promising family genius.
However, his arrogance was shattered in the Sword Tomb, and witnessing the "Blood Origin Skill" being mastered by Qiao Xin, he could only admire Qiao Xin now.
He said lightly:
"There is a gap between geniuses."
"You may be a rare talent in the Wuji Association, but this is Peach Blossom Villa."
"Even a genius cannot compare to the knowledge and talent of the predecessor, Qiao Xin."
Xue Changhe is very confident.
After glancing at the manual, he could immediately write an improved version hundreds of years later. To him, this was not something that an exceptional genius could achieve.
Qiao Xin was just a little embarrassed.
Don’t bring me into your boasting… He is a highly skilled martial artist, just slightly better than others in experience and knowledge, honed over time. ȐáNÔ𐌱Еş
On the other side, a stone sword trembled slightly, its tip raised, facing Wu Mingkong, as if scrutinizing her carefully.
"Truly a genius, a rare sight in my lifetime!" Earth Sword Immortal praised.
At that moment, everyone was surprised, even Qiao Xin looked up at Earth Sword Immortal in amazement.
Earth Sword Immortal may seem casual, but actually he is a proud person.
Although it fell into the hands of Elder Qingzhuo from the Great Dao Sect many times, it never bowed down to become Elder Qingzhuo’s disciple.
When Wu Mingkong approached, she gained Earth Sword Immortal’s approval, which was very rare and unexpected for everyone.
Then Earth Sword Immortal continued speaking:
"This young lady is already so talented at a young age. She may look a bit immature, but in fact she possesses the allure of a mature woman, like a ripe peach in early spring. Such talent is indeed rare in the world, how can she not be considered a genius?"
Qiao Xin was a bit tense at first, but after looking closely at Wu Mingkong, he suddenly gasped in awe.
"This girl is indeed terrifying…"
Just as Earth Sword Immortal was getting into his speech, he suddenly felt a warm and strong hand gripping his sword hilt.
"Shush, be quiet for a moment," said an old voice.
Earth Sword Immortal didn’t need to look back to know who it was.
"Brother Wu, why are you touching my sword handle? Touch your own!"
Lu Yanbei not only didn’t let go, but also bent his fingers and flicked the sword tip, causing a light trembling sound to spread.
"Will you ever stop… One day when I turn into a sword, I’ll let you taste it too—"
Wu Mingkong ignored their chatter and when she heard Earth Sword Immortal’s comment, she not only wasn’t angry, but quietly puffed up her chest.
"That’s right, I’m really not some extraordinary genius."
"Just decent looks, superficial charm, merely a pretty vase. These are all superficial, I’m really not an extraordinary genius!"
Wu Mingkong felt secretly annoyed.
He couldn’t get along with Wu Qizheng from the start, because Wu Qizheng was too proper and didn’t fit in with her.
Martial Saint asked Wu Mingkong to come to Peach Blossom Villa to learn, without giving any specific instructions.
So Wu Mingkong had only planned to hide her identity and live as a regular bystander in the villa.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at the villa, Wu Qizheng discovered her and not only revealed her identity but also stirred up some enmity.
How could she continue sneaking around like this?
At this moment, a calm voice from beside them said:
"She’s lying. Martial Saint never harbors idlers, nor does he make mistakes in judgment."
Wu Qizheng was the one speaking. He turned to look at Wu Mingkong and said lightly:
"Trying to conceal your lack of skill, huh? You still have a lot to learn."
In other areas, he can’t compare to Wu Mingkong, but when it comes to pretending, faking his own death, Wu Qizheng was able to deceive Martial Saint.
Before Wu Mingkong could respond, Wu Qizheng raised his fist and punched fiercely at Wu Mingkong.
Wu Qizheng was already an excellent martial artist, who had once killed Taoist Qingyang in Nan Province and eventually died under Elder Tianxing’s heavenly thunder. His martial arts skills were outstanding.
With one punch, even before it landed, the strong wind from the punch rustled Wu Mingkong’s clothes.
Wu Qizheng didn’t hold back, the punch was incredibly powerful. If an ordinary martial artist took it, their bones would surely break.
It was at this moment that Wu Mingkong also made a move.
She gently brushed past the side of Wu Qizheng’s fist with her hand, causing his punch to go off course and miss its target, the mighty wind from the punch causing the leaves of the trees behind Wu Mingkong to rustle loudly.
"Hmm?"
Xue Changhe and the others immediately turned their gaze towards Wu Mingkong.
Earlier, Wu Mingkong easily deflected the attack, showing her skill. The move seemed familiar but hard to place.
Wu Qizheng’s eyes flickered as he kept going, his fists striking rapidly.
A flurry of punches rained down on Wu Mingkong.
Wu Mingkong’s figure swayed like a willow in a storm.
Unable to dodge with her swift punches, Wu Mingkong raised her hands to block.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Every time their fists met, Wu Mingkong spun like a top.
Wu Qizheng’s strong punches didn’t seem to hurt her, just made her spin faster.
In the blink of an eye.
In the midst of spinning, Wu Mingkong lifted her leg and struck out like a whip, causing a loud crack in the air.
The strike was incredibly fast, like a whip cracking, and landed with a smack on Wu Qizheng’s chest, forcing him back several steps with tremendous force.
Wu Qizheng lowered his head to look at his chest.
His rib on the side of his chest had collapsed and broken, with the broken bones piercing through his skin, the injury looking horrifying.
But as he took a deep breath, the wound quickly began to squirm back together, the torn skin closing up, and the broken rib fragment being pushed out from the wound.
"You have perfected the Shape Changing Skill, not beneath me." Qiao Xin glanced at Wu Qizheng’s wound.
Besides Qiao Xin, almost everyone’s attention was on Wu Mingkong.
"Strange. That move just now, was it Qiao Jinyin’s Hua strength? The technique does bear a striking resemblance…" Xue Changhe suddenly realized, but then furrowed his brow.
"Hua strength kung fu? Can that really be used?"
If Qiao Jinyin had talked about Hua strength kung fu like this from the beginning, he wouldn’t have resorted to violence against the old man.
Xue Changhe’s confusion in his heart was growing.
"Qiao Jinyin is fake, but Wu Mingkong is real? Is there such a thing?"
"This woman is indeed impressive," Lu Yanbei commented. freёwebnoѵel.com
"Her martial arts are at the 3rd rank of Spiritual Refining Period… Hmm, a bit lacking in Spiritual Refining Method, but her vitality and internal strength exceed the small limits of the 4th rank."
"And this Hua strength kung fu is indeed amazing… Hmm, isn’t it?"
Lu Yanbei stopped talking suddenly.
Because he realized there was a big problem.
Wu Mingkong’s vitality and internal strength are good, but she has not yet broken through the threshold of superb rank.
As for spiritual refining level, it only reached the 3rd rank.
How could she stand up to the superb martial artist Wu Qizheng in strength and even wound him?
"Isn’t that right? It’s absolutely right," Earth Sword Immortal said, as his sword trembled slightly.
"The way of a martial artist emphasizes actual combat. The so-called superb rank surpasses the 9 ranks of martial artists hierarchy, representing the pinnacle of breaking through limits in martial arts."
"Originally, this was not a distinct and clear boundary."
"Wu Mingkong is able to compete with a superb martial artist, even though her strength, force, and spirit have not yet reached the superb rank."
"So, her Hua strength technique could be considered as…"
"Of superb rank skill."
"Truly a rare talent in Jiu Province, a precious gem."
Earth Sword Immortal was usually mischievous, but when talking about martial arts seriously, he was quite impressive.
But when he said that, everyone was suddenly shocked.
Not long ago, they heard Earth Sword Immortal invent a concept of "superb rank skills", but then they saw a real superb martial artist alive.
And this person was so young.
At that moment, Wu Mingkong also let out a slight sigh.
"I originally wanted to join Peach Blossom Villa as a regular person, but all I got was suspicion and testing."
"Then I won’t pretend anymore, yes, I am the top genius of Jiu Province!"
But hearing this young girl being so arrogant, the admiration in their hearts faded a bit.
"Young people being assertive and showing their talents is reasonable," Qiao Xin said calmly.
"That’s fine, you don’t need to pretend to be mature, or learn about humility and emotional intelligence."
He loved geniuses the most, wishing for a hundred or a thousand more Wu Mingkongs.
Wu Mingkong turned her head to look at Earth Sword Immortal, her eyebrows furrowing.
"Are you the Earth Sword Immortal?"
"Martial Saint often compares me to you, saying you used to be a dashing figure in the martial world, but now you’ve become like this, not even resembling a human anymore.."
The matter of the Hundred-mile Desert had spread throughout the martial world in Jiu Province with intentional dissemination by Tide Listening Building Storyteller Clairvoyance.
Wu Mingkong had heard about Earth Sword Immortal’s feat of turning into a sword to help the people of the lonely city cross the desert.
Normal people might admire such a person, but not Wu Mingkong.
"I used to admire you when I was young, but now, seeing you again, you’re just ordinary, the same as those common folks." Wu Mingkong’s voice carried a hint of puzzlement.
Qiao Xin raised his eyebrows.
This was deliberately said to provoke, as if asking Earth Sword Immortal why he changed his mind in his old age and did a noble deed, risking his own flesh.
In Wu Mingkong’s mind, it wasn’t a prodigal son turning back, but a collapse of a persona, suddenly becoming uninteresting.
Earth Sword Immortal just yawned.
"You’re right."
"But I’m tired, I’ll see you later."
Earth Sword Immortal didn’t even bother to listen to Wu Mingkong, he just turned and walked away.
Wu Mingkong was indeed a rare talent, even the lofty Earth Sword Immortal had to admit.
But what did that have to do with him?
Earth Sword Immortal was not like a kind elder who guides young people with passion, he felt annoyed instead.
He was a wanderer in the world, wandering through all sorts of flowers, plucking them without attaching to any, with no worries at all.
But even so, when he grows old and sees the passing of time and beauty, he is not alone.
Lu Yanbei, the elder brother who taught him swordsmanship in his youth, is an anchor to his existence in this world.
Unlike Wu Mingkong.
"This young girl is still too tender in age, with such high talents, she has no worries." Earth Sword Immortal whispered.
"She’s a promising seed, but so what?"
Seeing such a young person, it felt like looking at his younger self.
But he couldn’t be bothered to guide young people, as they wouldn’t listen anyway, it would only be seen as old-fashioned advice of the older generation, why bother?
Compared to Wu Mingkong.
Earth Sword Immortal was actually more interested in Bai Qingsi, the daughter of Old Huang in the village, who practiced the Iron Crotch Skill as a woman.
……………………………………………….
"A few words were enough to annoy Earth Sword Immortal, he’s quite a tough nut to crack," Qiao Xin was also a little puzzled.
The good news is that this young girl is a genuine genius.
The bad news is that she is a lazy donkey on the outside, and now that Wu Qizheng has revealed her true identity, she seems to be acting rebelliously.
"Senior Qiao, I have something important to discuss," Wu Mingkong said, but then her gaze shifted towards Qiao Xin.
"Go ahead."
"I must confess, I, Wu Mingkong, am actually a spy planted by Martial Saint in the Peach Blossom Villa." Wu Mingkong said with a straight face, shocking everyone with her words:
"He wants me to learn the Qiao family’s special skills in secret!"
"To prevent Martial Saint from succeeding, Senior Qiao must not pass on my martial arts skills, to avoid them being stolen!"
"It seems that you all value the ‘Hua strength kung fu’ greatly… How about I teach the ‘Hua strength kung fu’ to Senior Qiao as a condition, and in return, Senior Qiao provides me with a place to stay at Peach Blossom Villa?" Wu Mingkong suggested.
Qiao Xin suddenly gasped.
This condition sounded like a sure bet, but it was also quite strange, too strange indeed.
