Chapter 7: Learning the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique
Su Ying and Wei Wuya are both characters in "The Legendary Twins".
Wei Wuyuan is the leader of the Twelve Great Thieves. He was born deformed and disabled, but his martial arts skills are superb.
He earned the reputation of the twelve constellations largely through his efforts.
He was extremely infatuated with Yaoyue, the mistress of Yihua Palace, and even went to Yihua Palace to propose to her in person.
Yaoyue is obsessed with looks and shows no interest in any man other than Jiang Feng. Moreover, she never hesitates to kill. It goes without saying what will happen after Wei Wuyah's actions.
Wei Wuyuan was seriously injured, but escaped with his life.
The fact that Wei Wuyuan managed to escape with his life from Yaoyue's hands at Yihua Palace is enough to prove that he is quite capable.
Unable to win Yaoyue's heart, Wei Wuyuan began to harbor wicked thoughts.
He found a girl who looked a lot like Yaoyue, raised her from a young age, and cultivated her temperament so that she would become more and more like Yaoyue.
This girl is Su Ying.
Upon hearing Li Ping's words, Su Ying was utterly shocked: "How did you know?"
She shared the same thought as Huang Rong: no matter what, she was just a wandering swordsman, so how could people a hundred years later guess who she was just by hearing these words?
Li Ping laughed and said, "Don't be nervous, I just have a considerable understanding of these strange and unusual stories in the martial arts world."
"Don't worry, even if Wei Wuyuan comes to this era, without his own subordinates, it won't be easy for him to find you. This world is so big..."
Su Ying was not as optimistic as Li Ping, because she knew Wei Wuya's methods all too well. She had already begun to think about how to hide herself and not be found by Wei Wuya!
Looking at her expression, Li Ping said, "There's something I find strange, because I heard that you've always wanted to get rid of Wei Wuyuan."
"But you don't want to learn martial arts; you think it's useless..."
Su Ying gave a bitter smile: "It's really useless. Wei Wuyuan's martial arts are extremely advanced. No matter how I learn his martial arts, there's no way I can escape his control..."
Is that right?
At this moment, Huang Rong said, "Don't worry, after I find my father in a few days, I'll have him help you. I guarantee that the shameless scoundrel won't dare to cause you any trouble!"
Hearing Huang Rong say this, Li Ping was also very curious: who was more skilled in martial arts, Huang Yaoshi or Wei Wuyuan?
Between Huang Yaoshi and Yan Nantian, whose martial arts are more powerful?
In the past, we could only guess about these things, but now we might actually see them in the future, and the thought is a little exciting...
Su Ying was grateful for Huang Rong's overtures, but she didn't think Huang Rong's father could beat Wei Wuya, and why should someone risk their life for her for no reason?
Su Ying and Xiao Yu'er are very similar. Both of them grew up in places surrounded by villains, but they both have kind and golden hearts!
Since they had nowhere to go for the time being, Su Ying stayed. Seeing that Huang Rong was preparing to stew a medicinal meal, Su Ying also came to help. She was also knowledgeable in medicine, and the two chatted about the medicinal meal.
The two hit it off as they talked, because they were both very knowledgeable about "miscellaneous subjects" such as Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and Qimen Dunjia.
Su Ying's eyes lit up: "These are all heirlooms from Miss Huang's family. It seems your father is indeed remarkable..."
Huang Rong said, "My father is alright, but if we're talking about truly remarkable knowledge, Li Ping's physics is the real deal."
Su Ying was taken aback: "Physics?"
Then Huang Rong explained to her what inertia was and what the three laws of mechanics were, making Su Ying's eyes light up.
So when Li Ping was preparing to teach Huang Rong, Su Ying said, "Mr. Li, I learned about physics from Miss Huang!"
"Physics is truly profound and complex. I'm very curious; can we learn it together?"
"Miss Huang told me that Mr. Li is a great lover of martial arts. Although I don't know any martial arts, I can exchange mine for his..."
Originally, Li Ping didn't care about teaching one more person; after all, he was just herding one sheep or two.
Surprisingly, Su Ying even offered to teach her martial arts.
Li Ping certainly wouldn't refuse.
Su Ying doesn't know martial arts, but she's like Wang Yuyan, with incredibly strong martial arts knowledge.
Moreover, his intelligence is certainly no less than that of Huang Rong.
Even before she knew martial arts, she had already manipulated ruthless characters like Jiang Yulang and Bai Junshan with ease!
……
Su Ying's martial arts skills came from some secret manuals, but the vast majority of them came from Wei Wuyuan.
Wei Wuyuan was born with a deformity and a disability, so his martial arts skills were also unorthodox.
After learning more about it, Li Ping discovered that there were indeed some things he could use right now.
When he was practicing the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, the most difficult thing for him was to "circulate qi" when all the "qi and blood" were rushing to his lower body. It was like his left and right brains were fighting each other.
Unfortunately, Wei Wuyuan's martial arts manual contains a similar "unorthodox method" that allows "qi and blood" to flow in parallel.
So, on the second day, Li Ping succeeded.
First, Li Ping successfully applied his "time manipulation" ability to his "qi and blood," slowing down the flow of "qi and blood" by half.
At the same time, he applied the ability of "time manipulation" to his thinking, making his thinking speed half again as well. This back and forth is equivalent to slowing down the flow of his "qi and blood" by half.
In this situation, with the help of the folk remedy for manipulating "qi and blood" obtained from Su Ying, he finally managed to guide the "qi and blood" to circulate through a small cycle of the "Evil-Repelling Heart Method" using his mind.
The next moment, a cool sensation swirled in his dantian.
"This...this is the true energy of the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique?"
Li Ping was extremely excited. "I have finally mastered the True Qi of Exorcising Evil!"
Afterwards, Li Ping began frantically refining his Qi, and the results were all quite successful. When he occasionally failed, he would use time rewind to eliminate the negative effects.
On the very first day, Li Ping felt that his skills had greatly improved!
Because the "Evil-Repelling Sword Manual" is a shortcut technique that allows for rapid progress, the beginning is the most difficult, but once you get past that, the road ahead is smooth!
However, Li Ping didn't practice for very long.
Because my mental strength can't keep up!
On his panel, the ability to "manipulate time" only showed the cooldown time, not the cost. However, after using it a few times, he realized that this thing consumed mental energy. After using it ten or so times in a row, he would feel dizzy and lightheaded.
No matter, if I can't cultivate my Qi, then I'll practice swordsmanship!
Li Ping jumped into the courtyard and began practicing the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique.
With the blessing of the evil-repelling true energy, his swordsmanship and movement became incredibly swift.
Finally, after completing a set of sword techniques, Li Ping let out a long breath and began to summarize: "Desires only arise during cultivation; they don't occur when using true energy."
"That's only natural!"
"Otherwise, even if you cut yourself up, if you're thinking about these things while fighting someone, you still won't be able to win..."
Just then, Huang Rong's voice rang out: "Hey, Li Ping, why has your swordsmanship changed?"
Generally speaking, peeping at others practicing martial arts is a major taboo in the martial arts world.
But Huang Rong is now Li Ping's "mentor", so naturally she doesn't care about these things.
Li Ping laughed and asked, "What's changed?"
Huang Rong said, "Before, when your swordsmanship was slow, it was incredibly rudimentary, but when it gets fast, it becomes much more wondrous!"
Li Ping was completely baffled!
In his mind, all martial arts techniques are unbreakable except for speed; a fast sword technique is naturally powerful. But Huang Rong's explanation is different!
