Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 268 Comment on Guest Gu Xu
In the process of watching the battle, Elder Sun had long held back his words.

He couldn't wait to stand up, and said in a sharp tone: "Li Zixuan, if I read correctly, the sword technique you use is called 'Rainfall Sword', and his boxing technique is 'Lion Roar Fist'. In the battle just now Among them, you have at least three fatal mistakes. If you make one less mistake, you may have a chance to win.

"First of all, the timing of your use of the 'Raining Sword' is wrong. At that time, he just used the second form of the 'Lion's Roar Fist', which is also the only defensive move - it is enough to resist more than [-]% of your attacks. Sword intent, let your efforts go to waste.

"Secondly, when he is gathering momentum, you don't need to try to predict his moving direction at all - because when the 'Lion's Roar Fist' is gathering momentum, the monk can't move at all. You have at least lost three swords because of this.

"Also, I can't understand it at all. When you cast your last sword, your opponent is standing less than a foot away from you. How could you swing the sword crookedly?
"Is it because he beat you too hard just now, causing your mentality to collapse, your movements to deform, and you can't even hold your sword steady? With your fragile psychological quality, wouldn't it be frightening to pee when you encounter powerful ghosts when doing tasks in the future? up?
"..."

Elder Sun talked on and on for a long time, pointing out all the problems in the process of Li Zixuan's swordsmanship in a stern manner in front of the public.

If before that, Li Zixuan had just suffered a severe physical beating; then at this moment, he has suffered countless mental blows.

The "Rainfall Sword" he was so proud of was so full of flaws in front of Elder Sun.

Confidence disappeared in an instant.

With his hands on the ground, he struggled to get up from the ground, with his head drooping and his eyes dull.

Gu Xu glanced at Elder Sun, and saw that the more he talked, the more excited he became, his nose was on fire and his mouth was spitting.It seems that in the process of finding fault with others, he feels endless fun.

Quite a "sprayer" style.

After Elder Sun's comments came to an end, Gu Xu pondered for a moment, then said lightly: "Actually, Li Zixuan's last sword strike was not his fault."

"Whose problem is that?" Elder Sun frowned.

With his arrogant and arrogant personality, he hates others denying his point of view, especially being refuted face-to-face by Gu Xu, an overly young low-level monk.

"If I'm not mistaken, apart from the 'Lion's Roar Fist', Yao Xiao also possesses a secret technique called 'Phantom Spirit Art'. Its function is to interfere with the opponent's perception and make the opponent hallucinate." Gu Xu explained, "During the process of releasing it, a faint silver-white light will light up in the monk's eyes.

"Yao Xiao used this 'illusory spirit technique' to make Li Zixuan misjudge his position.

"That's the key to his success."

Elder Sun did not respond.

He just squinted his eyes and looked at Yao Xiao who was standing on the ring—it seemed that he hadn't expected that a muscular man like Yao Xiao who looked big and thick had mastered 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.

One must know that Yao Xiao has put in all his time and planning 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 macho" persona, using straightforward and non-fancy martial arts like "Lion Roar Fist", making others think that he was "breaking ten clubs with one force" The reckless route.

But in fact, he secretly learned the "Phantom Spirit Art" that can create hallucinations, the "Secret Soul Art" that can slow down the opponent's thinking, the "Concealment Art" that can cover up his true energy, and so on.

These spells have one characteristic: there are no fancy light and shadow effects, and they don't need to be triggered by chanting mantras.If you don't look closely, it's hard to be spotted.

During the battle just now, Yao Xiao was standing directly in front of Li Zixuan.

However, under the influence of the "Phantom Spirit Art", Li Zixuan mistakenly thought that Yao Xiao was standing in front of him to the left, and that's why he missed the sword. Immediately afterwards, Yao Xiao seized the opportunity and punched him off the ring.

Li Zixuan who was not far away was also deeply moved by this.

As a rank nine official at the headquarters of the Exorcist Department, he has always been full of admiration for Gu Xu who saved Qingzhou Mansion and won the first prize in the Lantern Festival competition.

He originally thought that Gu Xu had only reached the pinnacle in the art of talisman seals, and was only at the level of an ordinary genius in other fields.

I didn't expect him to have such a wide range of knowledge.

His understanding of worldly Taoism and martial arts is even better than 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 swordsmanship is exquisite and closely linked, like spring rain." Absolutely. Presumably you must have spent a lot of practice to achieve such proficiency.

"However, in actual combat, one must know oneself and one's enemy in order to win a hundred battles. You can't just devote yourself to your own martial arts, but also try to understand other secret books of Taoism and the fighting methods that others may adopt.

"'Raining Rain Sword' is a spell that uses softness to overcome rigidity. In fact, it has a strong restraint effect on Yao Xiao's 'Lion's Roar Fist' - its third form can just silently dissolve the 'Lion's Roar Fist' The second and fourth forms of fisting.

"However, perhaps because you don't know much about the 'Lion's Roar Fist', you just missed two very crucial opportunities to win."

Hearing Gu Xu's words, Li Zixuan took a deep breath, then clasped his fists together, bowed to Gu Xu and said, "Thank you sir for your teaching."

Due to the large number of participants, the audition for the "Luoshui Conference" was extremely harsh.

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 crowd, his depression disappeared completely unconsciously.

There was even joy in his eyes.

Li Zixuan can be regarded as a martial idiot.

Ever since he worked hard in the Exorcism Department and accumulated enough merits to exchange for the middle-grade martial arts "Raining Sword", he has been practicing hard day and night, no matter the wind or rain, he does not rest, and only hopes that one day he can become a blockbuster and a big hit. Show off your might.

However, even if Li Zixuan has practiced every move of "Sword of Falling Rain" extremely well, he still loses most of his single-handed duels with his colleagues in private.

He couldn't understand it.

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, Li Zixuan suddenly became enlightened, and the knot in his heart was untied.

"It's no wonder Mr. Gu is highly regarded by the Chief of Staff even though he only has the cultivation base of the third level. He can sit in the same seat with the elders of the Crazy Saber Sect in the fifth level," he praised in his heart. Talent, such vision, such insight, is comparable to a reincarnated immortal."

Afterwards, Gu Xu turned his head to look at Yao Xiao who was standing on the ring, and said to him: "Yao Shaoxia, I personally think that any tactic that can lead to victory as long as the rules allow is a good tactic. However, if there is no With enough hard power as a support, any means and any tricks are just castles in the air.

"In the battle just now, you combined the 'Lion's Roar Fist' and 'Phantom Spirit Art', two martial arts with completely different styles and artistic conceptions. I really appreciate your approach.

"However, you can't spend too much time and energy on studying 'how to deceive the opponent' and neglect 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 still relatively rigid, and your proficiency is obviously slightly lower than other moves. Fortunately, Li Zixuan doesn't know much about 'Lion Roar Fist' Otherwise, if he seizes the opportunity, the result of this competition may be different.

"Besides, in the 'Luoshui Conference' round after round of selection, the opponents you meet will only become stronger and stronger - their vision may even be more vicious than mine.

"The activation of 'Phantom Spirit Art' may be concealed enough, but it is only a middle-grade spell, and it is not a secret. There are not many people who know it.

"If you rely too much on such tactics, they will probably use it and set you a trap.

"This is my personal advice to you!"

After Gu Xu finished speaking, Yao Xiao also bowed to him and said, "Thank you, Mr. Gu, for your guidance!"

It's just that the expression on his face didn't fluctuate, and I don't know if he listened.

In the next half hour or so, the practitioners entered the ring in pairs according to the results of the pre-drawing. The winners advanced and the losers were eliminated.

Gu Xu, Yang Jiong and Elder Sun Mao sat on the city gate and watched the battle quietly.

Every time a duel ended, Elder Sun would stand up excitedly and make a generous speech with an extremely critical and strict attitude.

Basically, after listening to his "venomous tongue commentary", every contestant will turn gray, as if there is a lump in the throat.

In contrast, Gu Xu's comments are more "high EQ".

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 technique is nondescript", Gu Xu would say "You seem to have your own ideas in the way of swordsmanship".

For example, when Elder Sun said, "A careless person like you is not suitable for using the 'Fanhua' knife technique, which is famous for its complexity and meticulousness. It is a mistake from the beginning to the end."

Gu Xu would say, "Why don't you try "Overlord's Sword Art"! A young monk like you who looks like a king at the first glance should like this kind of martial arts that is open, close, and unstoppable."

For example, when Elder Sun said, "He is obviously a rough man, but he wields a sword like a woman, limp and powerless".

Gu Xu would say, "Why don't you try to learn how to draw talismans in the future, you may be more talented in talismans";
……

As for Yang Jiong, Yin of Luojing Prefecture, he will definitely sit on a chair and be a "mascot".

At the end of each duel, he either applauds or slaps his thighs, applauding the winner.

His lines are also limited to the following sentences: "good", "wonderful", "too amazing", "you have opened my eyes today", and so on.

After all, as a mortal, he couldn't even recognize the realm and moves of the monks, let alone comment on the details.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the last competition this morning.

From Gu Xu's point of view, this should be the highest quality duel this morning.

One of them is a female student of Longmen Academy, named Hu Xiaoyun.She has a delicate face and a thin figure. She is wearing a gray and white two-color robe from the academy. Her hair is coiled 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 she was holding a large stack of thick talisman seals in her hand - this undoubtedly showed that she was not a weak little girl, but a powerful talisman cultivator.

After stepping onto the ring, Hu Xiaoyun pretended to glance casually at Gu Xu on the city gate, then quickly lowered her head, her cheeks flushed slightly.

Yang Jiong, Yin of the Luo Jing Prefecture, was keenly aware of the girl's small movements.

He looked at Gu Xu with a smile, and joked, "Master Gu, this little girl seems to be your admirer."

Gu Xu smiled, but did not speak.

He knew that, since the much-anticipated battle of talismans, more than half of the female students and some male students in Longmen Academy have become his fans—but he doesn't know how many of them are female fans, and how many of them are fans. It's Mu Qiang fan.

The other person is a tall young man.

He was dark, unshaven, with a bitter face and a listless look.Although it was written that his age was 35 years old, Gu Xu always felt that this person looked about 50 or [-] 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 are third-level monks, they belong to the higher level of today's contestants, so all the onlookers are full of expectations for their performance.

Although Hu Xiaoyun from Longmen Academy looks weak, she is merciless in fights.

As soon as the gongs and drums sounded, she quickly chanted the incantation, and at the same time threw the three talisman papers in her hand to the opponent one by one.

Gu Xu could tell at a glance that of the three talismans she used, one was a "fixing body talisman", which could fix the opponent in place for three seconds - it was not very powerful, but the advantage was that the spell was very short, almost It works instantly.

The other two talismans are "True Flame Talismans" - as the name suggests, its function is to create flames and burn the opponent.

From these two talismans, Gu Xu saw her tactics: fix the opponent in place and bake them with fire.

Her incantations were also very fluent, and it was obvious that this was not the first time she had used this method.

But Bai Chen on the opposite side didn't panic at all.
