Chapter 192
Chapter 192
Actually, it wasn't that Ou Peng didn't want to test Zhang Xiaohu's aptitude, but as the sect leader of the Ethereal Sect, he was really busy with a myriad of affairs every day. How would he have the time to care about such trivial matters?
He couldn't even remember the name of Zhang Xiaohua, the youth who had saved his younger sister.
Ou Peng was also an extremely talented person, so how could he not remember a person's name?
To Ou Peng, Zhang Xiaohua was a one-off item. Once he thanked him, he would forget about it. In the future, he wouldn't pay attention to him, so why would he bother to remember him?
At this moment, Zhang Xiaohu was sparring with Yuan Xing in the arena. It was fine to watch, but why didn't he pay attention to his aptitude?
This was Ou Peng's intention as the Sect Leader, so he paid attention to it.
At first, he had the same thought as the other disciples. He felt that Zhang Xiaohu didn't have any redeeming qualities and would be knocked out of the arena soon. However, after chatting with Monk Chang Geng for a while, he raised his head again and couldn't help but let out an "En". This was the second time he had lost his composure after Zhang Xiaohu went on stage. At this moment, Zhang Xiaohua saw the changes in her second brother's fists and kicks.
Since Zhang Xiaohua could see it, so could Ou Peng. Perhaps they saw different things, but they were both able to see the change in the situation.
The more Zhang Xiaohu fought, the better Ou Peng's mood became. Looking at the fine details, Ou Peng even had a thought. If he didn't use his inner energy, his Six Harmonies Fists might not be as accurate as Zhang Xiaohu's, able to find a chance to survive amidst Yuan Xing's chaotic moves.
At this moment, Ou Peng's love for talent was aroused. What was a genius? This was the most common Six Harmonies Fists in the pugilistic world, taught by the Lotus Escort Agency's ninth-rate guards, was actually able to withstand the various secret fists taught by the Dalin Temple's Law Enforcement Hall's disciples. If this spread to the pugilistic world, the Misty School's reputation would definitely shine, enough to make up for the previous shadow.
If the Misty School didn't pay attention to such a genius and didn't give her more responsibilities, it would be intolerable!
Thinking of this, Ou Peng raised his head and looked at Wen Wenhai. Wen Wenhai also noticed his master's attention. The two of them looked at each other and nodded.
Wen Wenhai's eyes lit up. He knew that his master had approved of Zhang Xiaohu, and he couldn't help but feel happy from the bottom of his heart.
Monk Chang Geng originally did not pay attention to the arena, but when he saw Ou Peng lose his composure, he was also shocked. He quickly turned his head to look at the arena. Who was Monk Chang Geng? He was an expert of Ou Peng's generation. He immediately saw the difference in Zhang Xiaohu's fist technique. He could not help but cry out in pity. If Yuan Xing had attacked earlier, the competition would have ended long ago.
Monk Chang Geng coughed and asked, "Congratulations, Sect Master. To think that there would be such a person in Ethereal Sect. To be able to research the Six Directions Fist Technique for so many years and persist for so long without using his inner strength, it seems like Yuan Xing has underestimated the heroes of the world."
"Cough cough" Ou Peng couldn't help but laugh and explained, "This … Master, I have to explain to you. This disciple of the Misty School is called Zhang Xiaohu. He is a direct disciple of our Misty School."
Monk Chang Geng felt somewhat comforted and said, "Yes, not bad. Sect Leader Ou has good eyes. To be able to find such a talented disciple and train him for so many years, he will definitely become famous in the pugilistic world.
Oh, right, I don't seem to have heard of this disciple of Sect Leader Ou. "
Ou Peng's expression was somewhat strange as he said, "Master, you misunderstood. This Zhang Xiaohu was taken in by my disciple, Wen Wenhai."
"Wen Wenhai's disciple?"
Monk Chang Geng was stunned and said, "From what I see, Zhang Xiaohu is quite old. He isn't much younger than Wen Wenhai. Could it be that Wen Wenhai took him in as a disciple when he was young?"
Ou Peng smiled and said, "It's like this. Zhang Xiaohu wasn't nurtured by my Misty School since he was young. His situation is similar to that of your Misty School's disciple, Yuan Xing, who entered my Misty School after he grew up."
Without waiting for Ou Peng to finish, Monk Chang Geng interrupted and asked, "Is that so?
Then, how did Zhang Xiaohu cultivate his inner force cultivation method?
Sect Leader Ou, if you have any good methods, please enlighten me. "
Monk Chang Geng was also concerned about Yuan Xing. When he heard that Zhang Xiaohu had also entered the sect halfway, he naturally wanted to know how he cultivated the Misty School's inner force.
However, Ou Peng smiled bitterly and said, "Master, this Zhang Xiaohu has only been in the sect for two months. He hasn't started cultivating his inner force yet. His situation is similar to Yuan Xing's. I haven't considered this matter yet."
"Only been in the sect for two months!?" Monk Chang Geng was surprised and asked, "Then how long has he been practicing martial arts?
Has he never cultivated inner force before? "
Ou Peng said, "Just now, my disciple Zhang Xiaohu also told me that this Zhang Xiaohu seemed to have just started practicing martial arts last summer. His inner force cultivation method is also the most common in the martial arts world. He cultivated it for two months and stopped practicing after entering the Misty School.
Also … Also, to tell you the truth, this Zhang Xiaohu only knows this set of Six Harmonies Fist Technique. He hasn't started practicing the other fist techniques of the Misty School! "
"What?"
Monk Chang Geng was shocked again and said, "He only knows this set of fist techniques. No wonder he kept using the Six Harmonies Fist in the arena. I should have thought of this long ago."
Immediately, Monk Chang Geng wrung his hands and said, "How did such a talent end up in the Misty School?"
Ou Peng heard this and was very unhappy. He thought to himself, "What?
Why can't we find Zhang Xiaohu just because you found Yuan Xing?
Why can't our Misty School find a talent? "
Ou Peng smiled apologetically and said, "Master, even if he's a talent, he's already an adult. If he can't cultivate his inner force, it's useless.
I don't know what this youth's future path will be. "
Monk Chang Geng smiled and said, "Sect Leader Ou is right. If you don't like him, then give him to our Dalin Temple. He just entered the Misty School and hasn't learned anything yet.
What do you think? "
Ou Peng said, "Master, you must be joking. Since he's already entered the Misty School, he's a student of the Misty School. When he dies, he'll be a dead person of the Misty School. How can he enter another school?
Absolutely not. "
Monk Chang Geng smiled and didn't say anything else.
On the arena, the battle between Yuan Xing and Zhang Xiaohu entered a new stage.
Although Yuan Xing's moves were varied and dazzling, Zhang Xiaohu only used the simple Six Harmonies Fist techniques. His attack and defense were good, and he didn't fall into a disadvantage at all.
However, if one were to say that Zhang Xiaohu could win by attacking, it would be beyond his capabilities.
However, it was impossible to let Yuan Xing defeat Zhang Xiaohu.
Thereupon, the two of them fought for a while longer. That Yuan Xing showed an opening and jumped out of the ring. He put his palms together and said, "After fighting for so long, I can see that you only know one set of Liuhe Quan?"
Zhang Xiaohu withdrew his fists and legs and said with a smile, "That's right."
Yuan Xing nodded and said, "In that case, I've lost. Using so many fist techniques, I can't beat a mere Six Harmonies Fist. You're better than me."
Zhang Xiaohu said, "Thousands of fists and legs, one set of fist techniques. They're all fist techniques, and there's no difference. Since it's a competition, there's no winner, so it's not a loss. Master, what do you think?"
Yuan Xing's expression changed and he said, "I've been thinking too much. Alright, you're Zhang Xiaohu, right? I'll remember you. Today we're tied. If there's a chance in the future, we'll compete again!"
Zhang Xiaohu hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "That's my intention. I'll also remember Master's Dharma name, Yuan Xing. I'll wait for our next meeting."
After saying that, Yuan Xing jumped off the arena and returned to the reed mat shelter.
Zhang Xiaohu also jumped off. The Misty School disciples cheered thunderously and applauded to welcome him.
Zhang Xiaohu looked at the fervent gazes of the disciples, big and small, and his eyes were a little moist.
At this moment, whether it was the disciples who thought they were virtuous and didn't want to interact with Zhang Xiaohu, or the disciples who were opportunistic and wanted to curry favor with Zhang Xiaohu, all of them had a new understanding of him.
At this moment, the Misty School disciples truly treated Zhang Xiaohu as their brother from the bottom of their hearts. They didn't have the cold and distant attitude they had in the past.
At this moment, the Misty School disciples truly admired their Sect Leader from the bottom of their hearts. She really had a discerning eye for heroes.
Not to mention that Zhang Xiaohu received a hero's welcome, Monk Yuan Xing also walked back to the reed mat shelter with steady steps.
Monk Chang Geng asked with concern, "Yuan Xing, victory and defeat are common in battle. There's no need to take it to heart."
Yuan Xing put his palms together and bowed, "Thank you for your concern, Elder. Victory is defeat, defeat is victory. How can the matters of the world be so clearly differentiated?
This time, I've learned a lot from fighting with Zhang Xiaohu from the Misty School. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. "
Monk Chang Geng was very satisfied when he heard this. He waved his hand and had Yuan Xing leave.
Yuan Xing had just walked back to the group of monks when Yuan Kong jumped out and called out, "Martial Granduncle, Senior Brother Yuan Xing has already done one round. Shouldn't it be my turn next?"
Ou Peng smiled, "Little Master, you just fought a battle. Rest a bit more. This Zhang Xiaohua isn't a disciple of the Misty School. The battle just now was for him to participate in the Martial Arts Exhibition, so he naturally had to participate. Since he has already passed, I can't make decisions for him in the following battles. No matter what, I still have to listen to Zhang Xiaohua's opinion."
Monk Chang Geng was puzzled, "Zhang Xiaohua? Why does it sound like he's a family member with Zhang Xiaohu?
Why isn't he a disciple of the Misty School?
How can he participate in the Martial Arts Exhibition? "
Ou Peng thought to himself, "Your Dalin Temple is participating in the Martial Arts Exhibition. Zhang Xiaohua is from the Huan Xi Mountain Villa. Why can't he participate?"
However, he still patiently explained the reason Zhang Xiaohua was participating in the Martial Arts Exhibition and his relationship with Zhang Xiaohu. Monk Chang Geng nodded as he listened, "Since that's the case, Zhang Xiaohua is Zhang Xiaohu's younger brother. Presumably, his aptitude is also not ordinary. His martial arts must be good. Just now, I was in a hurry and didn't see it clearly. I really want to see it again. Moreover, he isn't a disciple of the Misty School right now, but presumably he won't be in the future.
Don't you agree, Sect Leader Ou? "
Hearing Chang Geng's overbearing words, Ou Peng smiled bitterly, "You're right. I'll go and persuade him.
But … "
Ou Peng changed the topic and said, "Master, your disciples have already sparred with my Ethereal Sect's disciples. I wonder if there are any other arrangements after this competition?"
Monk Chang Geng still had that dead man's expression. He said in a neutral tone, "Let's talk about it after this match."
Ou Peng was helpless. He beckoned Zhang Chengyue over and gave him a few instructions. Then, he let Zhang Chengyue bring Monk Yuan Kong back to the first arena.
When the two jumped onto the arena, Zhang Chengyue also called Zhang Xiaohua up. Seeing Zhang Xiaohua climb onto the arena with a face full of confusion, Zhang Chengyue smiled and said to him, "Zhang Xiaohua, I'm here on the orders of the Sect Leader to ask you. The match you just fought was already your last match in the Martial Arts Exhibition. You've already won."
Zhang Xiaohua said happily, "Really?
Is there a reward?
I need to give it to you now. "
Zhang Chengyue shook his head, "We'll talk about the reward later. I called you up for something else."
Zhang Xiaohua nodded, "What is it?
Just say it. "
Zhang Chengyue pointed at Yuankong beside him, "This is the Senior Brother of Yuan Liao you just defeated, Young Master Yuankong."
Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly bowed, "Greetings, Master Yuankong."
Yuankong also put his palms together and returned the greeting, not saying anything.
Zhang Xiaohua was puzzled, "This little bald donkey is actually not saying anything. He must have something against me. I wonder how I've offended him."
Zhang Chengyue continued, "This Young Master Yuankong saw that you defeated his Junior Brother Yuan. He's itching to spar with you again. What do you think?
Sect Leader Ou said that if you don't want to fight, you don't have to. "
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua secretly curled his lips, thinking, "He beat up the younger one and brought out the older one. The older one didn't come out, but the older one came out.
Looks like he wants to take revenge and regain his face.
Yuan Liao is already so powerful, so this Senior Brother of his must be even more incredible. I'm probably not his match. If it's still a draw, I'll have a chance.
But Sect Leader Ou said that if I don't want to fight, I don't have to. Why should I find this awkward? "
Just as he was about to refuse, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, causing him to exclaim, "That's not right. If I don't have to fight, Zhang Chengyue wouldn't have brought this little bald donkey up to the stage. Besides, he even specially said Sect Leader Ou's words. He must be being sarcastic.
Alas, I heard everyone talking about this Dalin Temple being a big sect that Misty School can't afford to offend. Sect Leader Ou probably can't refuse, so he let me come up. If I refuse, won't I ruin Sect Leader Ou's face? "
After he finished thinking, Zhang Xiaohua cupped his hands and said, "Um … Martial Uncle Zhang, I'm willing to fight with this young master."
Zhang Chengyue was overjoyed when he heard this. He had received Ou Peng's order to persuade Zhang Xiaohua to participate in the competition, but he couldn't say it so bluntly in front of her. If Zhang Xiaohua really didn't understand and directly refused, it would be difficult for him. Now that he saw Zhang Xiaohua was very tactful and didn't need to say too much nonsense, he exhorted, "Zhang Xiaohua, this young master Yuankong is very powerful. He already won a match just now. You must have seen it too, so you must be more careful in a while."
Once he finished speaking, Zhang Chengyue didn't leave. He flashed and stood in a corner of the stage.
When Yuankong saw that Zhang Xiaohua agreed to the competition, he narrowed his eyes and got into a stance, ready to fight.
When Zhang Xiaohua saw his stance, she wasn't in a hurry and repeatedly waved her hand at Yuankong.
Yuankong was puzzled and asked, "Since you've already agreed to the competition, why haven't you started?"
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Although I've agreed to the competition with Sect Leader Ou, I still have a condition. I'll only start if you agree to it."
Yuankong frowned and said, "I'm not in the mood to talk about conditions with you. Haven't you already agreed to the competition?
What conditions do I need to talk about with you? "
Zhang Xiaohua smiled mysteriously and said, "I've agreed to the competition with you, but if you don't agree to my condition, I'll immediately jump off the stage as soon as we fight. Just treat it as if I've lost. What do you think?"
When Yuankong heard this, his face turned abnormally gloomy. He clenched his teeth and said, "You're really despicable. You actually used such a trick!"
Zhang Xiaohua smiled shamelessly and said, "Winning or losing is my business. Why do you care so much?"
Yuankong clenched his teeth and said, "Then what conditions do you have?"
Zhang Xiaohua tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying, "It's nothing. If you lose, you have to teach me a sword technique from your Dalin Temple. For example …"
When she said this, Zhang Xiaohua didn't know what sword technique to say.
At this moment, Zhang Chengyue, who was standing to the side, said, "Zhang Xiaohua, are you talking about the Dharma Sword?
I've often heard that the Dalin Temple's Dharma Sword Technique is very powerful. I'm sure you admire it as much as I do. "
When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she immediately said, "That's right. It's the Dharma Sword. I've long heard that this sword technique is world-shaking. I really want to see it for myself."
When Yuankong heard this, his face turned red with anger and he said, "You're going too far. This Dharma Sword is a secret of the Dalin Temple. I haven't even learned it, so how can I teach it to you?
That won't do. "
Zhang Xiaohua took the opportunity to say, "Then let me see the sword manual."
Yuankong still shook his head and refused to agree.
When Zhang Xiaohua saw this, she pretended to jump off the arena and said, "Since we can't come to an agreement, then it's my loss. You can return to the court victorious."
When Yuankong saw this, he hurriedly shouted, "Don't go down first. I'll go ask Grand Martial Uncle first."
With that, he used his qinggong and disappeared back to the reed mat shelter.
When Monk Chang Geng heard this condition, he was also in a difficult position. The Dharma Sword Technique couldn't be taught to outsiders. How could he let Zhang Xiaohua cultivate it?
However, if he didn't regain the Dalin Temple's reputation because of this, Monk Chang Geng would be unwilling.
Therefore, he rolled his eyes and asked, "Do you have absolute confidence in defeating him?"
Yuankong clenched his fists and said, "I will definitely win. Actually, Junior Brother Yuan Liao can defeat him. It was just a moment of carelessness."
When Monk Chang Geng heard this, he nodded and whispered a few words into his ear.
When Yuankong heard this, he smiled and said, "Thank you, Grand Martial Uncle."
With that said, he hurriedly returned to the arena.
When Zhang Xiaohua saw him return, she happily said, "How was it? Did you agree?"
Yuankong smiled and said, "As you wish. However, I don't know the Dharma Sword Technique. You can only look at the sword manual. This sword manual is a secret of our Dalin Temple. When we let you look at it, we took a risk. Therefore, after you finish reading it, you must not draw it out, nor can you dictate it to others, much less teach it to others.
What do you think? "
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Of course. I just want to look at it. Why do I have to teach it to others?"
Yuankong continued, "I'm not done yet. You can look at the Dharma Sword Technique, but you can only look at it once. More than half a time is not allowed.
What do you think?
If you can't, you can jump off the arena and we'll go our separate ways. "
