After a while of bargaining, Weiming and the scholar finalized the final rules for the contest.
The scholar will compare his own innate eight-level four successful powers against the acquired nine-level unexplained ten successful powers. Whoever falls to the ground first loses.
The two found an open space by the lake, and after standing next to each other, Wei Ming thought with some pity:
'Tsk~ If I had known that this old man's skills were so high, I would have pressed down harder. I hope I won't lose too badly in a while.'
In fact, Weiming was surprised when he heard the scholar say that his skill had reached the eighth level of innateness.
In his mind, although he knew that this scholar who loved to write pornographic jokes was not simple, he did not expect that he was actually an out-and-out innate master-level master.
Especially when he heard the scholar say that the internal strength of the seven sages of Wangyou Valley were not lower than the fourth level of Xiantian, and that the strongest Xianyin had reached the half-step grand master level, Weiming was even more surprised.
But it was also because of this that Wei Ming suddenly understood why there were only these few people in Xiaoyao Valley, but they had such high prestige in the world. It was not only because of the reputation of Master Wu Xiazi and several senior brothers and sisters in the world, but also more importantly.
, maybe it’s also because of Wangyou Valley.
Nowadays, when people in the world mention Xiaoyao Valley, they will naturally associate it with Wangyou Valley, and vice versa. In fact, even Wu Xiazi and the Seven Sages of Wangyou think so, and the two have long been indistinguishable from each other.
Xiaoyao Valley like this is already a quite powerful force, but in fact it is much more than that. The seven sages also have extensive and solid networks of contacts.
Not to mention the close friendship between the scholar and the Beggar Clan, the miracle doctor alone is enough to support a considerable network of contacts.
You know, this is the world of martial arts. Doctors, especially doctors with excellent medical skills, are extremely rare talents. After all, no one can guarantee that they will not be poisoned or injured.
Wherever he goes, he is generally respected and well-liked.
As for the others, they basically all have a few reliable friends. The more powerful ones are like the nymphomaniac who has a close friendship with the Sword Master, and the more elegant ones are like Xianyin who has two former classmates. Of course, the most powerful ones are
Jusou and Danqing, who are relatively unknown, know Xu Ziqi.
...
Ahem~ The topic has gone too far, back to the competition scene.
The two of them...well~ have already finished competing.
The result of the competition was also quite unexpected, Wei Ming actually... lost miserably...
That's right, the two of them exchanged less than ten moves and were knocked down without knowing it.
Lying on the ground by the lake, Weiming stared blankly at the sky with a look of doubt on life.
What's wrong, little brother, why don't you speak?
The scholar came close to Wei Ming's eyes and said with a mean smile on his face, seemingly concerned.
No~ nothing!
Weiming sat up and said calmly.
Is everything okay? The scholar was really stunned and asked again.
Um!
Weiming responded casually, followed by silence for a while, and then suddenly asked the scholar:
Senior scholar, is the gap between nature and nurture really that big?
Upon hearing Weiming ask this question, the scholar breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled:
I said, what were you thinking about with a confused look on your face just now? You were thinking about this issue emotionally!
The scholar thought for a moment and continued:
As for the question you asked! I can answer you, the gap between nature and nurture may be big or not, but it is indeed not that big.
How do you say this? Weiming asked.
The scholar showed a smile and said: It's very simple. The big gap is because there is a qualitative gap between nature and nurture, which is internal strength. The difference between acquired internal strength and innate true energy is like scrap iron versus fine energy.
Like iron, the latter has an overwhelming advantage over the former.
After a pause, the scholar continued: As for the aspect where the gap is not so big, then
Naturally, we are all mortal bodies. Except for some masters of horizontal training, other innate masters can easily be seriously injured or even killed once they are plotted. And even masters of horizontal training are usually in the innate realm.
There are some extremely deadly traps that can easily be plotted by others once they are known.
With that said, the scholar gestured towards Weiming and said, "Nuh~ It's like that Miss Meng behind you. With her Qinggong hidden weapon attainments, even if she has not reached the innate realm, she can easily kill or seriously injure innate masters."
Sister Meng~?
Weiming turned around in surprise, and sure enough, at some point, Po Meng actually ran to a position not far behind Weiming.
Sister Meng~! Weiming called her, then stood up and turned back to the scholar:
It's time for me to go back to eat. Goodbye Lao Buxiu.
Hearing Wei Ming call himself "Senior" again, the scholar pointed at Wei Ming angrily and funny, and said: "You little brother! I'm kindly giving you advice. It's okay if you don't call me Senior. Why do you still call me Lao Bu Xiu?"
Okay, okay! Senior scholar, I will come to Wangyou Valley to ask you for advice next time, okay!
With that said, Weiming waved to the scholar, ran to Po Meng's side, and went back to Xiaoyao Valley together.
That’s pretty much it~
The scholar looked at Wei Ming's leaving figure, muttered something, and went back to the Valley of Forgetfulness, muttering to himself as he walked:
Although he has a bit of a venomous mouth, he is generally a good little brother! Lao Wuxia really has a good apprentice!
...
On the way back to Xiaoyao Valley.
Sister Meng~
Wei Ming suddenly shouted.
Hmm~?
Po Meng, who was leaning on Weiming's shoulder, looked up with a questioning look on her face.
I will definitely break through to Xiantian as soon as possible! Weiming suddenly said with a passionate tone.
Po Meng was stunned for a moment, then she blushed and gave Wei Ming a look, and said with a bit of embarrassment in her tone: Little pervert, are you in such a hurry?
Weiming smiled slightly, but made no excuse.
Is it for that kind of thing? Of course this is part of the reason, but it is far from the whole story.
After competing with the scholars this time, Wei Ming fully realized the gap between nature and nurture. Even now looking back, his senior brothers and sisters were evenly matched before, presumably because they did not use their innate Qi.
Even recalling the first time I had a martial arts competition with my second senior brother, after using some tricks to force the second senior brother into a desperate situation, he was immediately knocked away by him. I didn't think about it at the time, but now that I think about it, I feel the gap between the two.
So big.
And this is because he is facing the second senior brother. If it were anyone else, he might have died countless times. When he thought of this, Weiming suddenly felt a huge pressure, especially when the woman around him was stronger than himself.
Down.
Looking at Po Meng beside him, Weiming became more determined.
At least, when danger comes, I won't stand behind you.
I don't know what I think.
...
Perhaps because of the topic just discussed, the two were silent for a long time.
Po Meng was used to being quiet, and since she was around Wei Ming, she didn't care much. On the contrary, Wei Ming couldn't stand the atmosphere and was ready to find a topic to chat with Po Meng.
By chance, Weiming thought of a word that the scholar just mentioned, half-step master.
