Xia Qin has a backstage, or others think she has a backstage.
Silk Domain Sword Master Kun Siqi, because he was ranked eighth in the sect in his early years, and there were seven senior brothers and sisters who were much stronger than him, so when he went out to make a living, he was nicknamed the eighth son of the Kun family.
But as time went by, Lao Ba came from behind and became the most famous sword master, which made people forget about the senior brothers who were ahead of him.
"Are you Lu Pingping? The younger generation is so scary. Come on, sit down."
Kunba is a kind-hearted middle-aged man with a medium build and wears ordinary shirts and trousers. He can neither see the muscles that he has worked hard to exercise as a sword master, nor can he see anything special about him.
He looked like an ordinary employee who had just gotten off work.
"...very strong." But the big cat behind Lu Ping'an quickly made a comment.
"How strong?"
"Stronger than the strongest you have ever seen...Although it is not a regular level, it is not impossible to win against the weaker seventh level."
Okay, I almost have a good idea of a safe journey.
Kunba came specifically to find Xia Qin, and the reason was actually quite simple. He heard that his "disciple" had also come to this city, so he asked her to come over to get together.
As for a safe road? I just heard that she brought a new person, so I was just being polite.
"...The progress is pretty good, better than I expected. It seems that I have suffered a lot."
While chatting, the teacher tested Xia Qin's homework, and then realized that not only had she entered the third level of Sword Master, but she had also perfectly matched her abilities as expected, and she immediately became very enthusiastic.
This pair of master and apprentice had only known each other for two or three years... The last time Xia Qin came here to study, he was appreciated by the other party and thought that he was very suitable for inheriting his own school, so he taught him for more than half a month.
After that, we had some contact one after another, but since we were separated in two cities, the relationship was just like that.
The relationship between the two parties can be regarded as registered disciples. Kun Ba can't remember how many such disciples he had. After all, most of them disappeared after being taught, and some jumped to other paths.
As a contemporary leader of the Sword Saint School, he only has three real disciples.
"...In another year, if you can maintain this progress, maybe I can teach you something different..."
Xia Qin's progress made him very satisfied, and he might be the fourth disciple in the future.
When he went to the ancient city for business a year ago, he met Xia Qin once. He was still a little disappointed at the time, but now it seems that the improvement in just one year has been a complete transformation.
He gave guidance on Xia Qin's homework, and did not shy away from Lu Pingan... Maybe he really felt that this was just a little follower, and Lu Pingan's underage appearance was too deceptive.
And watching Lu Pingan's training with the Sword Master was an eye-opener.
The path of the Sword Master cannot be said to be exactly the same as my own path. They are completely opposite. One wears less and less, while the other wants to wear all his arsenal. There is no overlap at all.
However, this simple and direct idea of improvement also deeply inspired Lu Pingan.
Sword masters do not need to be armed, and the higher the level, they do not even need forbidden items. They only have swords in their hands. It is not that they are simply arrogant in thinking that "the body can handle everything".
"Juggernauts don't need external objects. Our bodies are our weapons." This is not a literal description, but a fact.
The Sword Master's oath of self-restraint, or a super powerful self-curse, seals each "malice" on his body surface, becoming his armor, his limbs and arms, and his weapons.
But this is just the beginning of this career.
"When we borrow the power of oaths, we do not simply desire its power, but we use restraints and curses to beat our own bodies and minds to forge our swords to become stronger and sharper."
That powerful and strange oath is actually just a means of training, a "forging hammer" to complete the sword master's physical and mental strength.
But as Lu Pingping listened, he always felt something strange...
"...Isn't this a way of transforming the body with self-curse, turning one's body into a kind of pollution and curse?"
No equipment, no armor, just using foreign objects and attacks to beat yourself? Although it sounds cool, when you really talk about the principle, it feels fake.
Lu Pingan did not make any rash comments, because he knew that it was difficult to make a comprehensive and specific judgment based on his own knowledge accumulation.
"... Make a few more oaths. When you complete your first qualitative transformation, come to me again and I will teach you some combat skills that are more suitable for you...
The progress of the registered disciples was astonishing. A seed sown at random back then might lead to another disciple who could inherit the sect and join the family, which made Kun Ba feel very good.
So, Xia Qin asked her master to show her a safe journey, and he readily agreed.
This is the purpose of Lu Ping'an's special visit.
He has indeed completed the preliminary combination of his abilities, and Teacher Lu's teachings are also very useful...but there is still a huge gap between the vision of top combat professionals and the teacher.
"...This place doesn't seem to be suitable for an all-out duel." Looking at the surrounding environment, it was a small villa, and Lu Pingan shook his head.
"It's okay, let's go ahead and attack."
"...My movement is relatively loud."
Unlike Mr. Lu who was overconfident before, Sword Master Kun thought for a moment, then held a long sword and shook it slightly.
The whole world is completely different.
The three of them were thrown into a half-plane, where there was only a flat land, and it was so empty that the loneliness in it was unbearable.
"This is the area where I practice and temper my mind. Can I spread it out now?"
"certainly......"
This time, Lu Pingan did not hesitate.
Now, it is quite difficult for him to find an opponent who can truly use all his strength.
Call out Zhixi and Xiao Huomiao to complete the riding outfit.
Spread the field gardener, complete the battlefield combination, and start the sky-supporting tree combination.
Use the warlord ability to summon the battlefield eagle and enter legion mode.
Take out gourmet food combinations and give yourself various temporary buffs specifically for physical attacks.
And Kunba, who was calm at the beginning, gradually became moved, and even showed an expression of surprise.
In his eyes, this young man who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old was a bit too much of a supermodel.
He also looked back at Xia Qin with a questioning expression.
"...He is special, and I dare not say he will win..."
So, the sword master turned around with interest... What he faced was the impact of the silver lance.
Lu Pingan chose to fight without declaring without hesitation.
"Apoptosis!"
To get started, Lu Ping'an just used forbidden moves that he didn't dare to use randomly on weekdays.
And then...he got beat up.
There is no need to describe the process in detail, because the gap in strength is too large and there is nothing to say at all.
Lu Ping'an tried his best to pave the way, use his abilities with all his strength, and show off what he had learned without any restrictions, as well as the combat power he was integrating.
But the attack cannot hit.
Vision, unable to capture.
Even if the opponent wants to test the strength and touches it with his own hands, he still cannot break through the defense... The basic ability of the pure sword master is too outrageous. He carries nothing, and it is no different from being fully armed.
The battle ended quickly. Zhixi was beaten to the point of shutting up. The small flames were still on the ground and could not move. The forest with broken branches and leaves also returned to the courtyard, preparing to regenerate.
But Kun Ba's "suggestions" gave Lu Ping'an a lot of inspiration.
"Not bad, not bad, very good. At your age, you are considered a first-rate newcomer in the state capital. How old were you when you started practicing martial arts? Are there any schools? I can help you introduce a few combat schools that are good at heavy equipment."
"It's been three months, I just became a professional not long ago."
For the first time, Xia Qin saw the shocked expression on her master's face
