Chapter 63: Chapter 62: Want to Learn?
Translator: 549690339
Pei Xuanjing was leading a relatively peaceful life in the Martial Academy. At least for the past half month since he joined the academy, he had been having a comfortable life.
After blindly exchanging many achievements for the skills he held in the Scripture Pavilion, he also borrowed several skills from the Scripture Pavilion.
The martial skill, โGiant Spirit Suppressing Mountain Skill, โ which he is currently studying, is one of the top-tier martial studies in the Scripture Pavilion, other than the extraordinary skill โInnate Gang ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ซ๐ฃ๐๐ซ๐๐ต.๐ฌ๐๐
Itโs not as if Pei Xuanjing didnโt want to borrow the extraordinary skill, but unfortunately, it wasnโt available for borrowing yet. So, he settled for the next best thing and chose the skill โGiant Spirit Suppressing Mountain Skillโ
Pei Xuanjing is currently cultivating the โFour Spirits Skillโ, which only has a technique at the seventh tier, but he already has a clue on how to theorize it.
In the previous life simulation, the direction of the โFour Spirits Skillโ had changed. freew(e)bnovel.(c)om
He no longer pursued the path of the Four Spirits evolving into the Five Elements. Instead, he borrowed from the Four Symbols Sword Sectโs approach by having the Four Spirits evolve into the Four Imagesโ Five Elements and then into seasons in conjunction with the five planetary cycles.
Wood belongs to spring, fire to summer, metal to autumn, and water to winter, with Earth prospering in all seasons.
With the foundation of Earth, wood, fire, metal, water, spring, summer, autumn, winter, and the four seasonal changes make the cycle complete.
Early in the morning, Pei Xuanjing, clad in a dark brown robe and holding an ordinary long sword, was practicing swordsmanship on the Practice Martial Arts Field in the yard.
His sword moves were sometimes fast, sometimes slow, showing the softness of spring at one moment, the explosion of summer in another, the bleakness of autumn now and again, and the coldness of winter at times.
Pei Xuanjing symbolized the seasonsโ cycle with the essence of spring breeze, summer rain, autumn frost, and winter snow, experiencing the changes of the four seasons and five planetary cycles.
On the side, Pang Hong was meticulously cleaning the yard, but he could not help but steal glances at Pei Xuanjing from time to time.
His eyes were full of envy and longing.
He knew that being able to stay here was already his great luck, so he did not dare to ask for anything else and only focused on his work.
As they say, poor children become independent early. Pang Hong, who had experienced hunger and cold, preciously cherished everything in front of him.
In these half a month, he diligently cleaned the yard every day. His self-discipline even won Pei Xuanjingโs admiration.
Although Pei Xuanjing focused on his sword practice, he did not overlook the actions of the boy.
After finishing a set of sword skills, he sheathed his sword and stood still.
โCome here.โ He beckoned the young man. Pang Hong rushed over, dropping his broom, โSir?โ
He respectfully stood not far from Pei Xuanjing .
Pei Xuanjing glanced at the boy before asking, โHave you learned martial arts before?โ
The young man nodded at first, then shook his head vigorously.
He frowned, โWhat do you mean by nodding and shaking your head? Did you learn martial arts or not?โ
The young man laughed awkwardly as he scratched the back of his head, โWhen my father was around, he taught me some boxing techniques, but they are not as splendid as sirโs swordsmanship.โ
Pei Xuanjing laughed at his remark and said, โLet me see.โ
The boy was a bit embarrassed, but under Pei Xuanjingโs gaze, he had to brace himself and demonstrate his skills.
Emperorโs Long Fist.
This was the most widely practiced technique and one that most people use to build their foundations.
With Pei Xuanjingโs discerning eyes, he naturally saw several flaws in the boyโs moves.
However, he did not say anything and just watched the boy finish his moves with a smile.
After the boy finished his set of punches, he looked at him expectantly, waiting for his evaluation, with his face flushed and sweaty.
Pei Xuanjing gestured, โMove back.โ
As the boy stepped back, he sheathed his sword and started to demonstrate a set of boxing techniques. Surprisingly, it was the same as the Emperorโs Long Fist that the boy had just practiced.
In his realm, mastery of one method leads to understanding of all methods. After grasping the true meaning of martial arts, he could learn most elementary and intermediate martial skills quickly, and even master them to a certain extent.
Generally speaking, after reaching this stage, the path of a master required refining of all experiences and forging oneโs unique path.
Even if a master had mastered advanced or extraordinary martial skills, they would only use them for self-defense and protection. Ultimately, they would transcend them and create their own techniques. This was the reason why the martial arts tradition thrived from one generation to the next.
โHow was it?โ Pei Xuanjing asked after finishing his boxing. The boy looked a bit disappointed, โIโm far behind you, sir.โ
โIt would be strange if you could match me.โ Pei Xuanjing laughed.
Then he asked, โSo, do you want to learn?โ
โYes,โ the boy instinctively blurted out. But then he remembered his uncleโs warning and asked hesitantly, โIs it really okay?โ
Pei Xuanjing did not know what the boy was thinking, and just replied, โWhy not? If you want to learn, Iโll teach you. If you donโt want to, weโll drop the matter.โ
โI want to!โ The young man answered decisively.
Pei Xuanjing nodded, and then heard the young man ask, โCan I call you master?โ
Looking at the boyโs hopeful black eyes.
Pei Xuanjing knew what he was thinking, but his next words shattered the boyโs aspirations, โNo.โ โOh,โ the boy was still too young and his disappointment was hard to hide, even with his cleverness.
โBut you can call me teacher for now,โ Pei Xuanjing suddenly said.
The expression of disappointment on the boyโs face disappeared instantly, replaced by surprise and joy. He quickly knelt down and kowtowed, โPang Hong pays his respects to the teacher.โ
Pei Xuanjing did not stop him and let him proceed.
Over the past few days, he had also checked the boyโs martial arts roots, which were average at best.
His aptitude was hardly any better than Pei Xuanjingโs when he started. Without a good teacher or luck, he would probably only stay in the first realm of martial arts.
But the boyโs earnestness moved Pei Xuanjing. He decided to give the boy a chance, which might also add some extra spice to his boring life in the academy.
After all, teaching the boy could also be considered as a review of his own learning, and it was not without benefits.
โIf you keep bowing, I will leave,โ Pei Xuanjing said, watching the boy.
Upon hearing Pei Xuanjingโs words, the boy promptly got up, his forehead now flushed.
Looking at the boy in front of him, Pei Xuanjing was very pleased. After all, who doesnโt like a sincere person?
He felt a mysterious sense of compassion, or so Pei Xuanjing thought..
