While watching the battle, Elder Sun had been holding back his words for a long time.
He couldn't wait to stand up and said in a sharp tone: "Li Zixuan, if I read it correctly, the sword technique you use is called 'Falling Rain Sword', and his boxing technique is 'Lion's Roar Fist'. In the battle just now Among them, you made at least three fatal mistakes. If you made one less mistake, you might have a chance to win.
"First of all, you used the 'Falling Rain Sword' starting move at the wrong time. At that time, he happened to use the second move of 'Lion's Roar Fist', which is also the only defensive move - it is enough to withstand more than 70% of your attacks. Sword intent makes your efforts in vain.
"Secondly, when he is accumulating power, you don't need to try to predict the direction of his movement at all - because when the 'Lion's Roar Fist' is accumulating fist power, the monk cannot move at all. This will cost you at least three swords.
"Also, I simply can't understand that when you cast the last sword, your opponent was standing less than a foot away in front of you, and you could actually chop the sword crooked?
"Is it because he beat you so hard just now that your mentality collapsed, your movements were deformed, and you couldn't even hold the sword steady? With your fragile psychological quality, wouldn't you be frightened when you encounter powerful ghosts on missions in the future? Already?
"..."
Elder Sun talked nonstop for a long time, and pointed out all the problems in Li Zixuan's swordsmanship in a stern manner in front of the public.
If before this, Li Zixuan had just suffered a physical beating; then at this moment, he had received countless mental blows.
The "Luoyu Sword" that he was so proud of was so full of flaws in front of Elder Sun.
The self-confidence was instantly gone.
He put his hands on the ground and struggled to get up from the ground. His head was drooping and his eyes were dull.
Gu Xu glanced at Elder Sun and saw that he was getting more and more excited as he talked, with fire coming out of his nose and foaming at the mouth. It seemed that he had endless fun in finding fault with others.
After Elder Sun's comments came to an end, Gu Xu pondered for a moment and said calmly: "Actually, Li Zixuan's last sword slash into the air was not his own fault."
"Whose problem is that?" Elder Sun frowned.
With his arrogant and arrogant character, he hated it when others denied his views, especially when he was refuted face to face by a low-level monk like Gu Xu who was too young.
"If I read it correctly, in addition to the 'Lion's Roar Fist', Yao Xiao also masters a secret technique called 'Phantom Spirit Technique'. Its function is to interfere with the opponent's perception and cause the opponent to hallucinate," Gu Xu explained, “During the process of releasing it, a faint silvery white light will light up in the monk’s eyes.
"Yao Xiao used this 'illusion technique' to make Li Zixuan misjudge his position.
"That's the key to his victory."
Elder Sun did not respond.
He just squinted his eyes and looked at Yao Xiao standing on the ring - he seemed a little surprised that a muscular man like Yao Xiao, who looked tall and thick, could actually master such insidious tactics.
Yao Xiao on the ring was also stunned for two seconds.
He also didn't expect that Gu Xu could see through his trump card at a glance from such a long distance.
You know, Yao Xiao has worked hard and planned for a long time in order to achieve a good result in the "Luoshui Conference".
On the surface, he disguised himself as a "rough and tough man" and used straightforward and non-fancy martial arts like "Lion's Roar Fist" to make others think that he was following the "One Force Breaking Ten Clubs" The reckless route.
But in fact, he secretly learned the "phantom technique" that can create illusions, the "soul trapping technique" that can slow down the opponent's thinking, the "breath concealment technique" that can cover up his true energy, and so on.
These spells all have one characteristic: there are no fancy light and shadow effects, nor do they need to be triggered by chanting incantations. If you don't look closely, you'll be hard to spot.
During the battle just now, Yao Xiao was standing directly in front of Li Zixuan.
However, under the influence of the "phantom spirit technique", Li Zixuan mistakenly thought that Yao Xiao was standing in front of him to the left, so his sword missed. Then Yao Xiao seized the opportunity and punched him off the ring.
Li Zixuan, who was not far away, was also filled with emotion.
As a ninth-grade junior official at the Exorcism Department Headquarters, he had always been filled with admiration for Gu Xu, who saved Qingzhou Mansion and won the first prize in the Lantern Festival Tournament.
He originally thought that Gu Xu had only reached the pinnacle in the art of talisman and seal script, and was only at the level of an ordinary genius in other fields.
I didn't expect that he actually had such extensive knowledge.
His understanding of worldly Taoism, Dharma, and Martial Arts even surpassed that of fifth-level monks like Elder Sun.
At this time, Gu Xu stood up from his seat with a faint smile on his face, looked at Li Zixuan and said: "Li Jishi, in my personal opinion, your sword skills are exquisite and closely connected, like a continuous spring rain. Absolutely. You must have spent a lot of time practicing to achieve such proficiency.
"However, in actual combat, you often need to know yourself and the enemy to win every battle. You can't just devote yourself to your own martial arts, but you must also try to understand other Taoist secrets and the fighting methods that others may adopt.
"'Falling Rain Sword' is a magic that uses softness to overcome hardness. In fact, it has a strong restraining effect on Yao Xiao's 'Lion's Roar Fist' - its third form can just dissolve the 'Lion's Roar Fist' silently. The fist intention of the second and fourth forms.
"However, maybe it's because you don't understand the 'Lion's Roar Fist', so you just missed two very critical opportunities to win."
Hearing Gu Xu's words, Li Zixuan took a deep breath, then clasped his hands into fists, bowed to Gu Xu and said, "I would like to thank Mr. Gu for his teachings."
Because there are so many participants, the audition for the "Luoshui Conference" is extremely demanding.
As long as you lose one game in the first round, you will be completely disqualified.
However, when Li Zixuan left the ring and returned to the vast sea of people, his frustration disappeared completely without realizing it.
There was even joy in his eyes.
Li Zixuan can be regarded as a martial arts fanatic.
Ever since he worked hard in the Exorcism Department and accumulated enough merit to exchange for the middle-grade martial arts "Falling Rain Sword", he has been practicing hard day and night, regardless of wind or rain, hoping that one day he will be able to become a blockbuster and a big success. Show your power.
However, even if Li Zixuan has mastered every move of "The Falling Rain Sword" to perfection, he still mostly loses in private duels with his colleagues.
He was puzzled by this.
He always felt that his dismal results were not worthy of his long-term hard work.
But today, when Gu Xu pointed out the reason sharply, Li Zixuan suddenly became enlightened and the knot in his heart was solved.
"No wonder Master Gu, although he only has the cultivation level of the third realm, is highly regarded by the Chief of Staff and can sit in the same seat as the elders of the Crazy Blade Sect of the fifth realm." He repeatedly praised in his heart, "This is such a great thing. His talent, his vision, and his knowledge are comparable to those of a reincarnated god."
Afterwards, Gu Xu turned to look at Yao Xiao who was standing on the ring and said to him: "Yao Shaoxia, I personally think that as long as the rules allow it, all tactics that can win are good tactics. However, if there is no With enough hard power as support, any means or underhanded tactics are just castles in the air.
"In the battle just now, you combined the 'Lion's Roar Fist' and the 'Phantom Spirit Technique', two martial arts with completely different styles and artistic conceptions. I admire your approach very much.
“However, you cannot spend too much time and energy on studying issues such as ‘how to deceive your opponent’ while neglecting the practice and consolidation of martial arts itself.
"I noticed that the connection between the fourth and fifth moves of your 'Lion's Roar Fist' is relatively stiff, and your proficiency is obviously slightly worse than other moves. Fortunately, Li Zixuan doesn't know much about 'Lion's Roar Fist' , otherwise if he seizes the opportunity, the result of this competition may be different.
"In addition, in the selection rounds of the Luoshui Conference, the opponents you encounter will only become more and more powerful - their vision may even be more vicious than mine.
"The activation of 'Phantom Spirit Technique' may be concealed enough, but it is only a mid-level spell, and it is not an undisclosed secret. There are many people who know about it.
"If you rely too much on something like this, they're likely to take advantage of it and set a trap for you.
"This is some personal advice from me!"
After Gu Xu finished speaking, Yao Xiao also bowed to him and said, "Thank you, Mr. Gu, for your guidance!"
But the expression on his face didn't change at all, and I don't know if he listened next.
In the next more than half an hour, the practitioners boarded the ring in pairs according to the results of the pre-drawn lots. The winner was promoted and the loser was eliminated.
Gu Xu, Yang Jiong and Elder Sun Mao sat on the city gate and watched the battle quietly.
Whenever a duel ends, Elder Sun will stand up excitedly and make an impassioned speech with an extremely critical and strict attitude.
Basically, after listening to his "venomous comments", every contestant will become gray-faced and have a lump in their throat.
In contrast, Gu Xu’s comments are more “emotionally intelligent”.
For example, when Elder Sun said, "Your move is full of flaws," Gu Xu would say, "Your move still has a lot of room for improvement."
For example, when Elder Sun said, "Your sword skills are neither fish nor fowl", Gu Xu would say, "You seem to have your own ideas in swordsmanship";
For example, when Elder Sun said, "A careless person like you is not suitable for using the 'Prosperous' sword technique, which is famous for its complexity and meticulousness. It is a mistake from beginning to end." Gu Xu would say, "Why don't you try " "Overlord's Sword Technique"! A young monk like you who looks like a domineering king at first glance should like this kind of martial arts that is broad-based and indomitable."
For example, when Elder Sun said, "He is clearly a rough man, but he swings the sword like a girl, soft and powerless." Gu Xu would say, "Why don't you try to learn how to draw talisman in the future? You may be able to draw talisman." More talented in Tao”;
…
As for Luojing Prefecture Yin Yang Jiong, he sat on the chair and became a "mascot".
At the end of each duel, he would either applaud or slap his thigh to cheer the winner.
His lines are limited to the following: "Good", "Wonderful", "Awesome", "You guys opened my eyes to this officer today", etc.
After all, as a mortal, he couldn't even recognize the realms and moves of the monks, let alone comment on the details.
Time flew by quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the last competition of the morning.
In Gu Xu's opinion, this should be the highest quality strong showdown this morning.
One of them is a female student from Longmen Academy, named Hu Xiaoyun. She has a delicate face and a slim figure. She is wearing the gray and white robe of the academy. Her hair is tied up high and fixed with a simple wooden hairpin, giving her a very bookish temperament.
When her name was called, her eyes wandered and she seemed a little nervous.
But Gu Xu noticed that in her hand was a large stack of thick talisman seals - this undoubtedly showed that she was not a weak little girl, but a talisman cultivator with considerable strength.
After getting on the ring, Hu Xiaoyun pretended to glance at Gu Xu at the city gate casually, then quickly lowered her head, with a faint blush on her cheeks.
Luojing Prefecture Yin Yang Jiong was keenly aware of the girl's little movements.
He looked at Gu Xu with a smile and said jokingly: "Mr. Gu, this little girl seems to be your admirer."
Gu Xu smiled and said nothing.
He knew that since the much-anticipated Fu Dao battle, more than half of the female students in Longmen Academy, as well as some male students, had become his fans - but he didn't know how many of them were fans of Yan and how many of them were fans. It's a fan of Mu Qiang.
The other person is a tall young man.
He has a dark complexion, an unshaven beard, a bitter face, and a listless appearance. Although the information stated that his age was thirty-five years old, Gu Xu always felt that this man looked forty or fifty years old.
From the information, Gu Xu learned that this person's name was Bai Chen and he was a casual cultivator.
Since these two people are both third-level monks and are among the higher-level contestants today, all onlookers are full of expectations for their performance.
Although Hu Xiaoyun from Longmen Academy looks weak, she is not soft at all when it comes to fighting.
As soon as the gongs and drums sounded, she quickly recited the incantation and threw the three talisman papers in her hand towards her opponent in turn.
Gu Xu could tell at a glance that one of the three talismans she used was a "fixing talisman", which could fix the opponent in place for three seconds - it was not very powerful, but the advantage was that the spell was extremely short, almost It works instantly.
The other two talismans are both "true flame talismans" - as the name suggests, its function is to create flames and burn the opponent.
