Chapter Thirteen: Sword Technique Deduction
Actually in that initial period of time, Yue Yu had also thought about spending some time at the martial arts arena to practice basic knife techniques and then naturally transition to using a knife.
However, after understanding his surroundings, he dispelled this idea. Just like originally, he didn't plan to let Ran Li know these secrets of his, filled with helplessness.
Before he came to this world, Xiao Yue was injured and fell into a coma. After waking up, he vaguely heard that he was playing in the back mountain when he fell from a high place, with a terrifying wound on the back of his neck, and his leg bone almost broke, making him still feel some pain today. Later, Yue also went to investigate the scene, a 16-meter stone cliff, a first-class martial artist, can easily jump up and down at will. However, for a 12-year-old boy with only two levels of internal energy cultivation, it was no different from an extremely dangerous place. Falling from above and still being alive is already a miracle.
As for how Xiaoyu got up there and why he fell down again, Yuewu wasn't quite clear about it either. He only knew that since then, Rongli had been by his side, following him almost every step of the way.
Yue Yu finally made the reluctant decision to let Ran Li know some of his secrets. This seemingly silly kid had been following him closely from the start, and if he wanted to continue training his martial arts skills, it was almost impossible to hide anything from his eyes. As for whether Ran Li would be suspicious or not, Yue Yu didn't bother to care about that anymore. Fortunately, this kid had only spent some time with Yue Yu when he was four years old, so they didn't know each other's bottom line, and even if Ran Li did have any suspicions, it shouldn't be too strong.
At the same time, Yue Yu also clearly knew that once his talent in knife skills was exposed, it was likely that next time, he wouldn't just fall off that cliff so easily. After all, his current strength, although many times stronger than Little Yue Yu's, but in this world, there were still countless people stronger than him.
So, rather than exposing his knife skills to the sunlight, it's better to deeply hide them as one of his trump cards. And in front of Rong Li, he also started to play the role of a young man with extraordinary martial arts talent, but due to unavoidable reasons, he had to deeply hide his talents and pretend to be an introverted youth.
Ran's acting skills are not bad, and as the host, he has no reason to lose to a child in this regard. As for whether it can be effective, he himself is not very clear. However, at least so far, no one suspects his identity.
Sometimes Yue Yu would also think to himself, why didn't he just hit his head back then, that way he could have pretended to have amnesia and acted openly. He wouldn't have to consider this and that like now, which was extremely annoying.
With a sigh, Yue Yu's gaze refocused on the long sword in his hand. It was foreseeable that before he came of age, he would have to deal with this kind of weapon, which he usually despised.
However, the problem is that he can tolerate himself playing the weak in front of others, but absolutely cannot allow himself to be truly incompetent! Since he's using this kind of weapon, then he must use it to its best!
That's Yue Yu's style, no matter what he does, he will go all out to pursue the strongest! Even with the setbacks during that period of military career, his strong personality has never had any substantial change.
He quickly converted the image interface of the auxiliary parasitic intelligent system in his brain to the seventh style of basic swordsmanship. Yue Yu learned the posture in the image, with one sword across his chest at a 32-degree angle, stabbing down diagonally. This was a sword style that had basically been calculated by the intelligent system, but for some reason, Yue Yu always felt it was not perfect. Even when he added all his physical data to the calculation, it was still so.
Sheathing his sword once more, Yue Yu thought deeply for a long time before making another strike. However, whether it was the angle or speed, there were some slight changes.
At this time, he was focused on practicing his sword moves and didn't notice at all that Rong Li would occasionally steal glances at him, but now his pupils suddenly contracted sharply.
In the eyes of this giant-like youth, the sword that Yue Yu had just swung was indeed exquisite, but not untraceable. However, when the next sword struck out, it truly had a kind of indescribable divine charm. Rong Li felt an almost intuitive sense that if he were to face this sword with his current self, even if he were to use the "Great Fury Myriad King Axe", he would probably have no way to resist it except to hastily retreat.
While Yue Yu wielded his sword, that stern and majestic aura was far beyond what those instructors in the martial arts arena could match.
※※※※
Two hours later, when the time was just past four o'clock in the afternoon, the sky gradually darkened. Yu Yu, although somewhat reluctant to part with the scenery, had no choice but to pack up his things and hurry towards the front mountain with Ruan Li.
Although the demons in the mountains behind have been cleared, the truly safe time is only during the day. At night, this area belongs to those dark winged birds of prey that are similar to dark winged eagles and are accustomed to hiding during the day and coming out at night. At this time, due to the limitations of human vision, the effect of the giant crossbows is reduced to a minimum, and even in the city, one may encounter attacks from these demonic birds, let alone outside the city.
As for the sunset, Yue Yu had always found it strange that in this world, sunrise and sunset seemed to be completely unaffected by the seasons. Every day, they rose and fell at exactly the same time, with almost negligible error. Moreover, on the plains below the city, he couldn't see a real horizon. When people appeared in his field of vision, they would always appear as a whole person, rather than just their head first like on Earth.
According to these phenomena, Yue Yu's calculated result is that the planet under his feet should be completely rotating around the sun with the central point as the axis. Moreover, whether it is this planet or the sun in the sky, they are all huge and terrifying.
But if that's the case, the gravitational force here should be extremely strong. However, Yue Yu didn't have such a feeling at all, but instead felt his body was incredibly light, though thinking about those inexplicable elements and various attributes of spiritual energy. He also felt he had been overthinking things in this place, how could he use the knowledge from his past life to measure it?
They were in a place about twenty miles away from the city of Yue. If it was an ordinary person, it would take at least three hours to walk up this mountain. However, for a martial artist, it would only take twenty minutes to arrive. Ran Li was already a sixth-level warrior, so his speed was naturally extremely fast. Even Yue Yu had the cultivation of a second-level peak, and his breath was long and steady. The two of them didn't stop as they followed that small stream all the way up, and it seemed like they were about to reach the stone path leading to the front mountain at the halfway point. But Ran Li suddenly pulled on Yue Yu's sleeve, stopping him in his tracks.
Yue Yu suddenly turned his head and saw Ruan Li's mouth pointing to the direction below the mountain, then followed his line of sight and looked over, only to see a group of people gathered near a small pond about ten or twenty feet below their feet.
Among them, two people stood in the center, one with a solemn expression and the other with a completely indifferent face. The rest of the dozen or so figures wearing the attire of the Yue family's descendants all had furrowed brows, standing off to the side.
Yue Yu raised an eyebrow, and at a glance, he could tell that most of the people around him were just playing out some kind of fighting script. In this world where martial arts were extremely popular, and with the intentional indulgence of the clans, similar incidents would occur three to ten times a day. After arriving here, Yue Yu had basically seen it all before. He didn't originally want to get involved in these messy affairs, but Ran Li's next two sentences made him stop in his tracks once again.
"Hey, young master, that's Yue Lin and Yue Feng. Hehe! I think they've been living too comfortably lately, bullying others is one thing, but they actually dare to go find trouble with Lin Zhuo..."
