Chapter 33 Jiang Churan: I was here first!
"this......"
Wu Shan was speechless for a moment, sweating profusely, and couldn't come up with a coherent explanation.
Subconsciously, he turned to look at Qi Xingyu in the corner.
After exchanging a glance with the latter,
Wu Shan took a deep breath and changed the subject:
"Junior Brother Li, I remember you claimed at the beginning that you could teach any martial arts technique, right?"
Li Wudao remained calm. "Not bad. Is there a problem?"
"Of course there is a problem!"
Seeing him respond, Wu Shan revealed a triumphant sneer.
“Junior Brother Li, I know you have high comprehension, but merely guiding a good-for-nothing like Lin Yan in cultivating a mere Yellow-level martial art proves nothing…”
"Besides, who knows if you guys have conspired together? Don't you all agree?"
At this point, he shouted something at the top of his lungs, which received many echoes.
"Indeed, Lin Yan is just a good-for-nothing from the outer sect, and he is far from representing the level of the other disciples."
"Although Li Zhenchuan should not be suspected of embezzling money, his abilities are still debatable."
"That's right. He's only just started learning martial arts. How high can his skill level be? If he listens to his words and suffers a qi deviation, he'll regret it."
"As things stand, I don't think he's qualified to give us any advice."
Now that things have come to this, although many disciples are no longer hostile, they still harbor doubts.
There was no other way; Li Wudao was just a newcomer, and without any substantial performance, it would be difficult for him to gain the trust of the people.
Listening to the doubts from all sides,
Li Wudao remained calm, observing Wu Shan with a leisurely air, a hint of amusement in his expression:
"So, how do you want me to prove it?"
He wasn't in a hurry; in fact, he was somewhat looking forward to it. This person was deliberately targeting him, so how could he miss such a good opportunity to humiliate him?
Since he's so eager to be tortured, you can't blame him.
"That's easy. I'll provide a martial arts manual. Junior Brother Li, find someone to guide you on the spot. If you can grasp something within two hours, you can prove your innocence!"
Wu Shan spoke with great conviction, his tone brimming with self-assurance.
"You know what, that's a great idea!"
"This is a good idea. It ensures fairness and proves the truth. Brilliant!"
........
"What do you think of my suggestion, Junior Brother Li?"
Hearing the praise and flattery from everyone, Wu Shan became more and more confident.
"Two hours...okay, but you have to agree to one condition."
Li Wudao hesitated for a moment, then feigned a hint of difficulty on his face.
I almost burst into laughter.
His passive ability, granting him a hundredfold comprehension, is always active, allowing him to conquer any technique without any pressure.
"What conditions?"
Seeing that the boy was about to fall into the trap, Wu Shan couldn't wait to ask more questions.
"If I fail to prove myself, I will voluntarily relinquish my position as the true successor and leave myself to the sect's disposal without batting an eye."
Li Wudao's lips curled slightly, his eyes flashing with coldness. "On the contrary, I will cripple your cultivation on the spot! Do you dare to accept?"
Even a clay figure has some temper; do you really think he's weak and easy to bully, that he can provoke anyone?
Anyone who dares to provoke him will pay a heavy price!
wow——
One word stirred up a huge wave of noise, and the whole place was in an uproar.
Everyone stared wide-eyed, slightly speechless; Li Zhenchuan had really gone too far.
Wu Shan also lost his composure, a chill ran down his spine, and he dared not meet Li Wudao's eyes.
He shrank back and looked at Qi Xingyu with a pleading gaze.
Cultivation is a serious matter, and he dared not gamble with his own fate.
"Your Highness, this guy wants to gamble with my cultivation level, I'm afraid..."
He feigned composure, secretly communicating with his voice, his tone hesitant.
Qi Xingyu's face was icy cold as he cursed inwardly.
"What are you afraid of? The martial arts manual I gave you is a unique one. The Xuantian Sect doesn't have it at all. Even if he has high comprehension, he can't possibly comprehend it in a short time, let alone instruct others."
At this point, he calmly analyzed, "Don't forget, the core of this bet is that the disciple he is guiding must gain some understanding. Do you think anyone else can learn a Heaven-rank martial skill within two hours?"
After Qi Xingyu's words of encouragement...
Wu Shan regained his confidence and said, "Your Highness is absolutely right. I will agree to it immediately."
As everyone knows,
His subtle actions had all been observed by Li Wudao.
Following Wu Shan's gaze, he spotted the Seventh Prince in the crowd.
"Qi Xingyu... Could it be him...?"
In an instant, Li Wudao began to suspect that Wu Shan was likely someone the other party had sent to annoy him.
Given the precedent set by others, it's perfectly normal for that guy to do some despicable things.
"I agree to your condition."
Wu Shan said with full confidence.
Immediately, he took out the Heavenly Rank martial arts manual he had prepared beforehand.
Li Wudao took it and casually glanced at a few pages.
"Aoki Vine Palm"
This is a wood-type palm technique, and it's not low-grade; it should be in the lower-grade Heaven rank.
"This martial arts manual shouldn't be from the Scripture Pavilion, right? I wonder where you obtained it, Senior Brother?"
He asked casually, his gaze falling on Wu Shan's face, trying to discern something.
These days, all the cultivation techniques in the Sutra Repository have been imprinted in my mind, but I have no recollection of this wood-type cultivation technique.
It is because of this foundation that he dares to claim that he can provide instruction on any martial arts technique.
Unexpectedly, Wu Shan played a rather cunning trick, producing a Heaven-rank martial arts technique from outside the sect.
It seems they came prepared and were determined to take him down.
"That... was a chance encounter."
Wu Shan's eyes flickered, and he said nervously, "Junior Brother Li boasted earlier that he could teach any martial art. Could it be that this particular martial art is not good enough?"
"No problem, I can teach you."
Seeing the other party's evasive manner, Li Wudao felt increasingly puzzled.
He sensed something was wrong with Wu Shan and secretly activated his Haotian Eye to observe.
Name: Wu Shan
【Age: 20】
[Talent: Low-grade Profound Level]
[Realm: Perfected Blood Transformation Realm]
[Special physical condition: None]
[Aura: Yellow-grade, medium quality (poor)]
[Evaluation: A dull and taciturn person, unable to distinguish right from wrong, often used as a pawn, with a difficult future ahead.]
[Recent Event: Instigated by someone to try and embarrass the host]
After reading it, Li Wudao instantly realized that this guy really had a problem!
"May I ask your name, senior brother, and which peak you come from?"
He had already decided on the candidate, but he remained outwardly calm and subtly probed for information.
Wu Shan froze, looked around, and then forced a smile and asked, "Wu Shan, is there a problem with Lieyang Peak?"
There were too many disciples present, and someone was bound to recognize him, so he couldn't lie even if he wanted to.
"Blazing Sun Peak..."
Li Wudao muttered to himself, his brows slightly furrowed.
If I remember correctly, Qi Xingyu is a disciple of Lieyang Peak.
The next moment, he turned his head and stared straight at Qi Xingyu, and the two of them made eye contact.
The latter quickly looked away, then looked up at the sky, appearing as if he had done something wrong.
"It's really you!"
Li Wudao frowned slightly, his eyes growing colder.
This guy picked on me several times during the entrance exam, and I haven't even had a chance to settle the score with him yet.
Unexpectedly, he's trying to get himself into trouble again today, insisting on jumping out to disgust him.
When they learned that Qi Xingyu was the instigator...
Li Wudao quickly figured out the cause and effect.
It's nothing more than the other party coveting Jiang Churan's beauty, being jealous of his relationship with the girl, wanting to suppress him, and taking the opportunity to rise in status.
He couldn't think of any other reason besides this one for Qi Xingyu to cause trouble.
It must be said that the seventh prince played a rather cunning game.
Heavenly-rank martial arts techniques are inherently obscure and difficult to understand. If ordinary disciples were to try to learn them on their own, it would take them at least a year or two to even get the basics down.
Not to mention learning something new in a short time and then passing it on to others to understand—that's incredibly absurd.
If it were anyone else, they probably would have been killed by this scheme.
But unfortunately,
He was unlucky; he ran into a cheater.
In Li Wudao's eyes, the unfamiliar Heaven-rank cultivation technique was no different from the Yellow-rank technique, and it wouldn't waste much time.
Suppressing his anger for the time being, Li Wudao calmed down and began to study "The Green Wood Vine Palm".
Because of the two-hour time limit
He must grasp it quickly before he has more time to teach others.
Inside the training ground, people whispered and discussed among themselves.
"How long do you think it will take for Li Zhenchuan to comprehend this?"
"It's hard to say. It depends on the grade of the martial arts manual. If it's Yellow Grade, that's fine, but if it's Earth Grade or even Heaven Grade, then it'll be difficult."
"Judging from Wu Shan's confident demeanor, it's probably at least a low-level martial skill. Li Zhenchuan is likely doomed. How could he possibly comprehend it within two hours?"
"To master martial arts techniques and teach them to others in just two hours is too demanding; it's impossible for anyone to do it!"
"Sigh, Wu Shan is clearly trying to embarrass Junior Brother Li. I wonder what conflict exists between them..."
Because neither Wu Shan nor Li Wudao mentioned the grade of the cultivation technique, everyone could only speculate privately and did not know the details.
Even so, most of the disciples were secretly worried for Li Wudao.
After a stick of incense.
Li Wudao closed his martial arts stance and turned his gaze to Wu Shan, who was watching the show.
"You provided the martial arts techniques, so it's reasonable for me to choose the disciples to teach them, isn't it?"
He deliberately adopted an attitude of not giving an inch.
Seeing this, Wu Shan could not refuse and could only agree.
After all, in everyone's eyes, he was a sure winner in this bet, so they couldn't push him too hard.
Li Wudao didn't say much, but wandered around the arena, his gaze sweeping over the disciples below.
This scene has sparked widespread discussion.
Many disciples were astonished. Could it be that this True Disciple Li has already comprehended it?
"With only an incense stick burning, the martial arts technique that Wu Shan took out must not be of a very high grade. It is probably just a Xuan-level technique."
"He doesn't even look at himself. What kind of good cultivation technique could a mere inner disciple possibly have?"
Many disciples were greatly disappointed, thinking that Wu Shan had some special skills, but in the end he couldn't even produce a decent cultivation technique.
Under the spotlight.
Li Wudao walked around, stopping occasionally, his gaze sweeping over each of his disciples.
He saw Jiang Churan and was somewhat tempted. With the girl's talent, comprehending this martial art would certainly not be a problem.
And at this moment,
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a familiar figure.
Akiko stood beside Wang Zhao, looking at him with a worried expression.
Suddenly.
Li Wudao's heart stirred.
He vaguely remembered that Qiu Zishi possessed a wood spirit body, which made it twice as effective to cultivate wood-type techniques.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this "Green Wood Vine Palm" is his exclusive martial arts technique.
After much thought, he still felt that Akiko was more suitable.
As a woman destined for greatness, Jiang Churan certainly has no shortage of martial arts techniques, so this particular skill is dispensable to her.
But for Akiko Minoru,
If one cultivates wood-based techniques, it may not be able to defy fate, but at least it will clarify the direction of cultivation, and the future path will be smoother.
After the brief contact with the other party last time,
He felt that Akiko was a good person and worth befriending, and was happy to do him a favor.
Thinking of this, Li Wudao craned his neck and called out, "Brother Qiu, come up and have a chat."
"Ah I?"
Akiko pointed to herself, unable to believe that she had been chosen.
In terms of talent, he's not even as good as Wang Zhao, who's standing right next to him.
"It is indeed Brother Qiu."
Li Wudao nodded with a smile.
I've decided on you, Akiko Minoru!
Once the candidate was chosen, everyone looked on with curiosity.
When they learned that Akiko was only the tenth-ranked disciple among the apprentices, they were all greatly surprised.
This choice was a bit hasty.
Although Akiko Minoru is a true disciple, his aptitude is only average. How could he possibly comprehend it in such a short time?
Everyone sighed, Li Wudao was doomed to lose, with no hope of winning whatsoever.
At this moment, the person who is most puzzled is Jiang Churan.
In terms of talent, she was at the top of the list when she first started out.
In terms of relationships, she was most familiar with Li Wudao.
She was already prepared to go on stage, and this was a good opportunity to repay a favor.
But she wasn't chosen.
Jiang Churan stared blankly at Li Wudao, who was smiling faintly, her red lips slightly pursed, feeling a sense of inexplicable loss.
Why? She's clearly the optimal solution.
She was the one who arrived first...
