Chapter 5 - The Young Swordsman

　　"It seems that it's your practice method that's not right, so excuse me." Raising the stone, Ye Chuan continued to run. 　　When Ye Duan left, the crowd's voices got louder. 　　"I can't believe that Ye Chen actually won, he used the Vajra Fist, right!" 　　"The Vajra Fist and the Open Tablet Palm are both Human Grade Middle Stage Martial Skills, by all rights, they should be on par with each other, and Wang Gang's cultivation is higher than Ye Chuan's, what's going on." 　　"The reason is simple," the calm looking teenager pondered for a moment before saying, "Ye Chen's Vajra Fist has already reached an extremely high level, and there is a softness in the rigidity." 　　Someone questioned, "How do you know. 　　The calm teenager smiled faintly, "The teaching elder once said that softness in rigidity is the route to take for rigid martial arts, Ye Chuan's punch that held up Wang Gang seemed to be very courageous, but it actually contained the skill of rebounding, of course, I only noticed it after analyzing it carefully." 　　The mountain road was rugged and bumpy. 　　After running around the mountain peak for more than ten miles, the sweaty Ye Duan came to a wide river. 　　Boom! 　　Throwing the stone on the ground, Ye Chuan took off his outer clothes and jumped into the river. 　　Practicing boxing at the bottom of the river was ten times a hundred times harder than on land, and the huge water pressure squeezed from all sides, causing fear in the heart. 　　Qi sinking into the dantian, Ye Duan stood steadily at the bottom of the river full of stones and sludge, and casually swung his fist, the dark current surging, the force was only thirty percent of the usual. 　　However, this was exactly what Ye Duan wanted, otherwise there would be no need to practice boxing at the bottom of the river. 　　The river was rapidly turbid, tumbling and rotating, as if there was a big water monster hidden in the depths, making waves and probing the water. 　　In this harsh environment, Ye Chuan could feel the bones and muscles of his entire body shaking with all their might, resisting the muddy currents that were coming in, and gradually combining them into a whole force to improve efficiency. 　　I don't know how long it took, Ye Chuan couldn't hold his breath and finally scurried out of the water. 　　Hohohohohoho...... 　　Ye Chuan panted heavily and laughed, "Practicing boxing at the bottom of the river is simply half the work with half the effort, I wonder how many people know about this method?" 　　...... 　　Qingfeng Town was less than ten miles from Qingfeng Mountain. 　　The second floor of the Lai Fu Grand Restaurant! 　　Ye Chuan, who had long been hungry, did not care about his image, and ate at the table full of wine and food, winding down. 　　It turned out that Ye Chuan had to come to Qingfeng Town every few days to have a meal, after all, he was only an outer disciple of Liuyun Sect, and the meals he ate were all burnt in one big pot or another, which couldn't be talked about as delicious, but could only ensure adequate nutrition, and although Qingfeng Town was not big, precious dishes were still available. 　　Not to mention that Ye Chuan also likes to listen to more rumors about the people of Jianghu, so as to be prepared for the future walking in Jianghu. 　　This was not the case, on the second floor, besides Ye Duan, there were also some jianghu people, all with swords and knives, full of essence. 　　"Have you guys heard? Fast Sword Wu Wanshan lost to a teenage swordsman." 　　"I've also heard about it, that teenage swordsman seems to be called something like Lin Qi, he is the third disciple of the North Snow Mountain Villa, his hand of fast swords is so powerful that he defeated Wu Wanshan within ten moves." 　　"Just kidding! Wu Wanshan's cultivation has already reached the early stage of the Clasping Yuan Realm, his power is profound, how could he lose at his hands." 　　"Oldest three, you are too insular, this matter has been spreading like wildfire, how could it be false, but that Lin Qi defeating Wu Wanshan, who is at the early stage of the Clasping Yuan realm with a late stage of the Condensation Realm cultivation is indeed terrifying, I wonder how it compares to the eldest disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect." 　　Ye Chuan's expression moved as his mind recalled the deeds of Wu Wanshan and Lin Qi. 　　Wu Wanshan, no clan or sect, aged in his thirties, a hand of fast knife blade technique was said to be self-created, able to split a drop of water into five parts in a split second, had single-handedly taken out more than forty ostentatious and brave horse thieves, cut a one-timber bridge across a distance of about ten feet, and was named as one of the fast swordsmen. 　　Lin Qi, the third disciple of North Snow Mountain Manor, practicing qi at the age of nine, advancing to the Condensed Truth Realm at the age of thirteen, reaching the middle of the Condensed Truth Realm at the age of fifteen, and reaching the peak of the late Condensed Truth Realm at the age of seventeen, with real-world combat abilities that are directly comparable to that of the North Snow Mountain Manor's eldest disciple, Duke Bei Xue, who is uniquely and overwhelmingly talented with his knife skills. 　　Both of them were unattainable existences to the current Ye Chuan, but Ye Chuan didn't think that Lin Qi had the strength to defeat Eldest Sister, he happened to hear from the teaching elders that Eldest Sister's talent in martial arts was already no less than that of some of the Inner Sect Elders, and no matter what martial arts came into her hands, she could practice them until they were pure, and she was a genius that was rare in the Flowing Clouds Sect in a hundred years. 　　"I wonder how long it will take me to step into this level?" Ye Chuan had no doubt about his potential, his only weakness was just a late start. 　　Suddenly, a Jianghu said, "You guys say, which ones of the young generation of the Liuyun Sect have strong potential, and will be able to compete with the top disciples of the other four sects in the future." 　　"Undoubtedly, the eldest disciple of the Liuyun Sect, 'Dark Fragrant Sword' is a young expert on the same level as Duke Beixue, as for the others! I'm more optimistic about Jing Jie, who is ranked fourth amongst the core disciples, cold and ruthless enough, and experienced in actual combat." 　　"Jing Jie is good, but I think Tao Xiaofeng, ranked third among the core disciples, is very powerful, often defeating the strong with the weak and resourceful." 　　The Jianghu man who had thrown out the topic hemmed and hawed, "All you guys are talking about the top five ranked core disciples, if it was in the past I would think so too, but this time is different, I'm optimistic about Xu Jing who is ranked twenty-third among the core disciples." 　　"Why do you say that?" The others revealed a look of curiosity, Ye Chen was equally concentrated, he could not have imagined that someone would mention Senior Sister Xu Jing. 　　"I saw her once three days ago, when she was dueling with the Jianghu Bandit Destroying Iron Hands, ......" 　　This person's words had not finished, the crowd murmured, "Iron Destroyer Li Tong, this person is not ordinary goods, people are treacherous and cunning, ruthless and incomparable, being chased for half a year long are unharmed, it is said that his unique mastery of Iron Destroyer is passed down from the country of the Draco, it is really to destroy the gold and break the iron, that Xu Jing that you said should not be able to help him right!" 　　"Wrong, in a hard-fought situation, Xu Jing has been pressing Li Tong to fight, causing the other party's arms to break by inches and spit out blood." 　　"What, Li Tong is a peak late stage Condensation Realm cultivator, and he was being pressed?" 　　"What's so rare about that, if you guys saw the scene at that time, you would know how rigid Xu Jing's punching style is, compared to her, Li Tong looked powerless regardless of his aura and fighting style." 　　Ye Chuan smiled faintly, he knew about Xu Jing's power, generally speaking, there are three extremely high realms of rigid martial arts, the first realm is rigid with softness, the second realm is rigid-flexible, and the highest realm is rigid-flexible, Xu Jing has already practiced her Voodoo Divine Fist to the second realm of rigid-flexible, and his own time of practicing Vajra Fist was too short, but he also reached the second realm of rigid-flexible, and the battle with Wang Gang only used The three realms are not that great. 　　Of course, these three realms are not so easy to reach, the talent is not high people, spend a few years or even more than ten years can not reach the first realm, such as the previous Wang Gang, not even learn all of the Open Tablet Palm, not to mention just in the soft.
