Chapter 94: Feng Hou Qimen Step
"Third Brother is right, Sixth Brother and Seventh Brother, your luck is truly too good…"
"Haha, since everyone is so interested in this kid, then Sixth Brother and Seventh Brother, find some time and bring him to us. If he's suitable, just take him as a disciple!"
Jiang Mo and Qianjun looked at the eager eyes of their four older brothers and helplessly gave in.
"Alright then, it just so happens that Little Long and the others are coming to see me in a few days to discuss something important. We can just have them bring Sun Yu along then…."
Deep within the Hall of Offerings, a handsome young man in golden armor shook his head helplessly as he listened to the discussions coming from behind him.
"These guys, they're all so old, yet they're still as impulsive as those kids…."
"….."
Inside the Supreme Pontiff Palace, Bibi Dong's expression was incredibly grim and unsightly as she read the reports submitted by Chrysanthemum Douluo and Zhao Rui.
Seven against one, and they were counter-killed. This wasn't a question of whether they knew how to fight, but rather whether they were useless or not!
After this incident, Bibi Dong could even imagine how much the people from the Hall of Offerings would mock her….
"Your Holiness, we are very sorry that we did not complete the task you assigned. We have come to accept our punishment…."
Yue Guan lowered his head, speaking with a look of deep disappointment.
Zhao Rui was already too scared to speak, only able to kneel on the ground, trembling all over.
Bibi Dong looked at the two kneeling below, her eyes swirling with purple light, wondering what she was thinking.
Immediately, the hall fell into a complete silence.
The longer the silence lasted, the more pressure Yue Guan and Zhao Rui felt. After all, death wasn't scary, but waiting for death was.
This silent stillness didn't last long. Just as Yue Guan and Zhao Rui's heartbeats quickened, as if they were about to burst out, Bibi Dong's authoritative voice rang in their ears.
"Yue Guan, I heard it was your suggestion for Sun Yu to agree to a one-versus-seven battle?! What exactly happened?!"
Hearing this sudden, sharp turn in the questioning, Yue Guan looked bewildered.
He slowly nodded, looking at Bibi Dong's beautiful, serious face.
"That's right, Your Holiness. Sun Yu seemed very interested in my Immortal Herb Compendium, so I used that as an invitation for the battle. Unexpectedly, Sun Yu actually agreed…."
Upon hearing this, the purple light swirling in Bibi Dong's eyes grew even more intense.
"Since Sun Yu is so interested in your Immortal Herb Compendium, then use the Immortal Herb Compendium as an excuse to get close to Sun Yu. Use this to subtly probe all of Sun Yu's background!"
"Yes, Your Holiness, your subordinate guarantees to complete the mission!"
"Hmph, guarantee to complete the mission? If your guarantee was truly that useful, that would be great!"
Bibi Dong snorted coldly, her tone icy.
"However, the death penalty is waived, but the living penalty is unavoidable. I fine the two of you one year's salary to be confiscated, and your cultivation resources reduced by fifty percent! Now, get out!"
"Yes, Your Holiness!!"
Bibi Dong looked at the two leaving, her beautiful and captivating face filled with complex and unfathomable emotions.
And deep within her eyes, even more so, was a profound sense of helplessness.
Because after this battle, Bibi Dong already knew that she couldn't extract the information she wanted through brute force.
Therefore, Bibi Dong could only choose a conciliatory policy. Since Sun Yu was interested in Yue Guan, then let Yue Guan try to investigate Sun Yu's background.
Sun Yu was still just a child; perhaps his guard wouldn't be as strong as those old foxes in the Hall of Offerings!
"….."
"Bang!"
"Bang!!"
"Bang!!!"
Inside Panlong Douluo's courtyard.
An old and a young figure, each holding an ordinary wooden stick, were attacking each other.
In the blink of an eye, the sticks in their hands had crossed and struck dozens of times.
The sounds echoed throughout the entire courtyard.
After a long while, as Sun Yu's stamina ran out, the sparring finally stopped.
Sun Yu leaned on his wooden stick with one hand, his expression slightly fatigued.
Across from him was the serene and benevolent Panlong Douluo.
Panlong Douluo put away his wooden stick and looked at Sun Yu with approving eyes.
"Excellent, excellent, Little Yu, your footwork is indeed very exquisite and appears quite profound. I believe that once it reaches mastery, your set of footwork will definitely be stronger than my Panlong Step.
And just now, I saw that when you coordinated your footwork with your stick swings, your accuracy in swinging the stick also greatly improved. Even I felt a little tricky dealing with it. Little Yu, does your stick technique have a name?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Yu nodded slightly.
"Yes, Grandmaster. I call this set of footwork the Wind Follows Qi Men Step…."
"Wind Follows Qi Men Step… Can you tell me why you created this footwork?"
Sun Yu nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly began to speak.
"Grandmaster, this footwork was inspired a few days ago when I was in the Jianzhu Forest, dodging the attacks of the Sword Bamboo. At that time, I realized that although the Sword Bamboo's attacks were fierce, cruel, and had a very high chance of causing casualties,
on the other hand, as long as I found the correct way to dodge and understood their attack patterns, I could safely avoid the Sword Bamboo attacks in the Jianzhu Forest!
Therefore, in my spare time, I broke down my ability to perceive wind flow into its smallest components, subdividing them into eight directions: East, South, West, North, Southeast, Northeast, Southwest, and Northwest.
And after subdividing these eight directions, my efficiency in challenging the Jianzhu Forest also improved significantly. If four Sword Bamboo attacked me, I could quickly dodge in the direction from which those four attacks came! Similarly, if I encountered multiple enemies, I could do the same thing!
It was also at this point that I encountered a bottleneck. Although this footwork could help me effectively dodge attacks, it couldn't help me counterattack. It was precisely because of this that I chose to put pressure on myself and agreed to that battle!
Fortunately, my decision was correct. When facing the combined siege of three agility-attack system Spirit Masters, I discovered how my footwork should evolve: by attacking weaknesses.
Any enemy, when launching an attack, will more or less leave openings and expose weaknesses. Therefore, I need to seize these openings while dodging attacks and use them to counterattack."
Listening to Sun Yu's words, Panlong Douluo's expression was full of contemplation.
He hadn't expected the footwork Sun Yu created himself to be like this.
Dodging while finding weaknesses to counterattack when the enemy attacks sounds easy, but it is incredibly difficult to do.
Because any unexpected factor could cause this method of yours to fail.
And it wasn't as if no one had ever done this before, but very few could truly apply this footwork in actual combat….
Therefore, after pondering for a moment, Panlong Douluo also asked,
"But Little Yu, if that's the case, won't your footwork be too passive?! You can't launch an attack at all; you can only counterattack passively?"
