Yang Ji only taught for a few days and did not go to the practice square anymore. Instead, Li Xiaoguan supervised them. The sword skills themselves were derived from themselves and did not require much effort at all.
As for Zhang Xiong, since that time, he has successfully become Yang Ji's bodyguard.
When Yang Ji first arrived, he really needed someone smart enough to help him keep an eye on his surroundings and find out information at the same time. As for the fact that Zhang Xiong had followed Xie Lou, Yang Ji wasn't too worried.
Xie Lou's character is not necessarily the kind of person who would be a considerate subordinate. He knows how to use Zhang Xiong, mostly because he is smart enough. Moreover, the strong are respected, and he can tell at a glance which one is better between him and Xie Lou.
As long as Zhang Han is not too confused, he should know who to choose.
More importantly, Yang Ji would not give him the chance to betray him!
Time flies so fast, and in five days, it will be the once-a-month "Exchange Day" within the sect.
For others, this day is ordinary, but for Yang Ji and Sun Jue, this day is different. This is not only related to the evaluation and status within the sect of Yang Ji, a full recommender of the imperial court, but also
It’s another triennial feud between Qingchuan County and Pingchuan County.
"Clang, clang, clang!——"
Several clear chime sounds echoed in all directions, startling the crane as white as snow. The smoke was slowly rising from the practice ground, and the crowd was in an uproar, and the atmosphere suddenly became heated.
On Tieguan Mountain, everyone usually practices separately. Only when it comes to the "exchange day", there is no scruple. As long as you like your opponent, you can go up and compete directly to challenge.
For martial arts enthusiasts and "warriors" who are interested in actual combat, days like "Exchange Day" are a carnival!
Yang Ji stood tall and looked calmly at the flow of people in front of him. Behind him, a dozen registered disciples stood with their arms folded one by one. They were waiting with a playful expression.
"Yang Ji, how sure are you? Although this match is between you two, it will seriously affect your evaluation within the sect. If it is canceled, it is still too late."
Su Hong, dressed in a red coat, stood beside Yang Ji worried. In her opinion, the competition between Yang Ji and Sun Jue was really undesirable.
If he wins, he won't get much benefit. If he loses, Sun Jue can step on him and get the upper hand. In short, Sun Jue will take advantage.
"Need not!"
Yang Ji waved his hand and said without any doubt:
"This matter involves the reputation of Pingchuan County and Qingchuan County. I can't avoid fighting. Don't worry, I will defeat him openly. Moreover, this in itself is a good way to express myself to the elders.
It’s an opportunity for us to make a lasting impression.”
Yang Ji also had his own considerations. He had occupied the position of "fully recommended student" for a long time and enjoyed treatment that was far superior to other "wutong students", but he had no performance.
As time goes by, even without Sun Jue's presence, the elders will have doubts themselves.
As the saying goes, hearing is believing and seeing is believing. Now is a good opportunity to dispel the doubts of the elders and prove yourself.
"Don't be careless. Sun Jue is also the number one martial arts student in Qingchuan County. To stand out from thousands of people, there must be something special about him. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst!"
Su Hong said worriedly.
"Hahaha. Senior Sister Su, don't worry. Those guys are no match for us! -"
A voice laughed loudly from behind. Yang Ji did not speak, but these "named disciples" under Yang Ji stood up and spoke.
"That's right! Even though both Wu Tong students are number one, how can that Sun Jue be compared to Senior Brother Yang!"
"Leave this matter to us. Senior Sister Su, don't worry!"
"Yeah, yeah! Don't worry at all!"
…
Everyone agreed.
Su Hong didn't know their situation, but they knew it clearly. In more than ten days, their strength had not increased much.
——No one can do this except swallowing pills!
But one thing they were sure of was that their attainments in swordsmanship had advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching a level that was unimaginable to them before.
Yang Ji not only pointed out their past flaws and shortcomings, but also indirectly improved their understanding of swordsmanship.
This is something I couldn’t believe when I admired pure power before!
To a certain extent, they are even more confident than Yang Ji!
Su Hong frowned. In her opinion, this was a kind of arrogance. However, Yang Ji smiled knowingly. These guys still had some potential. It was not in vain that he had put so much effort into designing a set of swords for them.
Law.
A scuffle soon broke out in the square, and a few people who accidentally bumped into the crane on the edge of the railing were kicked out by the crane's wings.
The disciples of the sect all worshiped martial arts and were aggressive, but when they saw Yang Ji's unique square formation, no one dared to provoke him. Even some people gave up when they saw the two "disciples" standing side by side.
idea.
"call!"
On Tieguan Mountain, in a higher square belonging to the "Elder Brother" and "Elder Sister", there was a sound of wind, and a beautiful lady in white with red phoenix eyes, a bun on her temples, and a noble temperament lightly jumped to the white jade body that was as tall as a person.
On the railing, from a high position, overlooking the entire square below.
The breeze blows slowly, and the beauty in white clothes flutters her hair, and the "green lotus" patterns on her clothes also sway, as if they are immortals in the sky who will float away with the wind at any time.
"Senior Sister, don't you want to call Sister Xiaohong up?"
A jade-like woman's voice came from behind, and with a flash of light, a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old woman wearing a green coat, who was very energetic, gently jumped onto the white jade bridge pier next to the beauty in white.
"No."
The beauty in white's eyes fell on Su Hong and Yang Ji who were in the crowd, and they naturally showed the temperament of a leader:
"Xiaohong's sympathy is too overwhelming. Let her stay down below and witness this game with her own eyes. In this way... no matter what the final result is, at least she can accept it."
"Well, Sister Xiaohong is good at everything, but her personality is too straight. Senior sister, senior brothers have always tried to avoid conflicts. Sister Xiaohong just found a new guy and asked senior sister to help him. This is really too reckless.
Already."
The girl in green coat shook her head and said.
Behind her, on the other side of the white jade railing, several "disciples" who followed "Senior Sister" Lin Qingyan also nodded, with expressions of deep approval on their faces.
There are new people coming up the Tieguan Mountain almost every year. If everyone could help, wouldn't it be very busy? Su Hong had already gone to the senior sister several times for the young man named Yang Ji.
The senior sister's avoidance of talking or seeing her has actually made her attitude clear. In fact, everyone understands this. Unfortunately, Su Hong was too slow to react in this regard and did not realize it at all.
Lin Qingyan's soft toes stood lightly on the railing, her beautiful red phoenix eyes blinked, and a thought flashed through her mind.
She is by no means the kind of person who is indifferent and does not help others, nor is she the kind of person who cares about matters that have nothing to do with herself. If this were the case, she would not have these followers around her.
Lin Qingyan doesn't mean that she can't help the "newcomer", but at least the "newcomer" must show the value of helping, right?
"Xiaohong, I can understand if you want to help him. However, it depends on him whether he wants to help him or not."
Lin Qingyan looked at the calm-looking young man below and thought to herself.
Being a full-scale enemy of a "big brother" who was born as a "Wu Xiucai" is by no means a small matter, let alone a simple matter!
At least, Lin Qingyan must see in this "newcomer" a "reason" worthy of her doing this.
At the same time, in another direction not far away, not even Lin Qingyan noticed, a young man with a dark complexion was paying attention to another aspect of the crowd.
"Sun Jue, please don't let me down!"
The young man with a slightly dark complexion murmured.
"Crash!"
Not long after waiting, the crowd parted with a roar. Sun Jue led a group of people out in a mighty manner. He was slightly startled when he saw Yang Ji and others waiting in front of him, but he quickly came to his senses.
