The stars sprinkled across the earth like fireflies, bringing a bit of light to the darkness. Relying on this faint glow, we could see three figures facing off on the official road outside Fuzhou City. Suddenly, one figure drew a green light and thrust it towards the opposite figure. The man seemed to laugh, making a puffing sound. He merely sidestepped lightly and dodged it, then moved forward, pushing the attacker back with a close-range strike.
"The Qingcheng Sect's sword techniques don't seem to be much of a big deal," Baixiaosheng sneered. Fang Renzhi and Yu Renhao were furious. Yu Renhao also drew his long sword and attacked Baixiaosheng, while Fang Renzhi retracted his sword and thrust it forward again.
One attacked straight, the other slashed horizontally, blocking Baixiaosheng's path forward. He took two steps back, then pushed off the ground with both feet, leaping to Fang Renzhi's side, avoiding Yu Renhao, and kicked Fang Renzhi's right arm holding the sword. Fang Renzhi quickly crouched to dodge the kick, and his long sword swiftly rose upward.
Baixiaosheng kicked the back of the sword with his left foot, using the momentum to lightly leap away, increasing the distance between him and the two. As soon as he landed, he darted upward. Seeing this, Yu Renhao thrust his long sword straight at him. Baixiaosheng slapped the back of the sword, and Yu Renhao used the force to spin his body, slashing at Baixiaosheng while Fang Renzhi kicked at his lower limbs.
Baixiaosheng leaped in mid-air, his body horizontal. He slapped the back of Yu Renhao's sword with his left hand, deflecting it, and kicked both of them with his feet. The two used their free left hands to slap at Baixiaosheng's feet, making two thumping sounds, causing them to retreat a few steps. Baixiaosheng also used the momentum to leap into the air and safely landed on the ground.
Fang Renzhi and Yu Renhao exchanged a glance and immediately launched a fierce attack. Their sword techniques were quite good; they had only been probing earlier and hadn't used their full strength. Now, with a full attack, the sword light flashed, forming a curtain of swords that sealed Baixiaosheng on all sides. Seeing this, Baixiaosheng didn't retreat. His feet firmly planted on the ground, he rapidly slapped his hands, striking the two men's swords, continuously breaking down their attacks.
Caught between the two, Baixiaosheng still had the strength to fight. After over a decade of martial arts practice, his progress was truly astonishing. In the world of "Smiling, Proud Wanderer," his strength was absolutely no less than Linghuchong's. Linghuchong could easily teach two of the Qingcheng Four a lesson, and Baixiaosheng could naturally do the same. However, his experience came from sparring with his parents and Uncle Tong, without the trials of life and death, which was why the fight seemed evenly matched.
But if it dragged on, Baixiaosheng would definitely win.
Indeed, after over a hundred exchanges, Baixiaosheng became increasingly adapted to their moves. From initially defending, he began to counterattack, and eventually, he dominated the fight.
In the midst of the battle, Baixiaosheng suddenly changed his broad and open moves. Taking advantage of their attack, he struck Fang Renzhi's sword with one hand, deflecting it, while the other hand, like a snake, entangled Yu Renhao's sword. With a strong pull, he kicked Yu Renhao in the abdomen, sending him flying. He then grabbed Yu Renhao's sword and slashed at Fang Renzhi. Fang Renzhi was startled and quickly raised his sword to block. But Baixiaosheng didn't know any sword techniques; he let go of the sword, moved in close, and used the coiling hand technique to entangle Fang Renzhi's sword, striking him in the chest and sending him flying.
"Haha... I told you, you're no good!" Defeating the two, Baixiaosheng was overjoyed. He had never known his true strength, and now, with a comparison, he was delighted.
Unfortunately, before he could finish rejoicing, he felt a strong wind from behind. Baixiaosheng was startled and immediately used the rolling technique from the Tiger Fist to dodge the attack from behind.
Baixiaosheng stood up and looked at the person in front of him, saying, "You are..."
The person was short, wearing a Taoist robe, about fifty years old, with a very thin face, weighing no more than eighty pounds.
"You are Yu Canghai!"
Upon closer inspection, Baixiaosheng recognized who this person was and exclaimed in surprise.
Yu Canghai sneered, not answering, and kicked directly at him. Knowing that Yu Canghai's martial arts were superior, Baixiaosheng didn't dare to block it and quickly dodged. However, Yu Canghai's lightness skills were also very high, and he immediately blocked the path and struck with a palm.
Baixiaosheng was startled and similarly raised a palm. The two palms met, and Baixiaosheng felt a闷 (stifling) sensation in his chest, being thrown back by a powerful force. Yu Canghai, not letting up, kicked again. Baixiaosheng, in mid-air, twisted his body, using his right foot to push off his left foot, mysteriously rising a meter, dodging Yu Canghai's attack. Without waiting to land, he flipped in the air and landed far away.
Baixiaosheng didn't dare to stay and kicked off with both feet, dashing towards the nearby forest. Yu Canghai clearly didn't want to let him go and chased after him. However, the distance to the forest was not far, and Baixiaosheng crossed it in two steps, successfully entering the forest. Even though Yu Canghai caught up, he couldn't hit Baixiaosheng in the forest.
The two chased and ran for half the night. Baixiaosheng's lightness and internal skills were inferior to Yu Canghai's, making it difficult to shake him off. However, due to the forest's obstruction, Yu Canghai also found it hard to catch Baixiaosheng, even when he blocked him a few times, Baixiaosheng managed to escape.
Baixiaosheng didn't know how far he had run. Seeing that Yu Canghai still didn't intend to let him go, he knew that continuing to run was useless. He darted through the forest, using the trees to block Yu Canghai's view. Suddenly, he stopped behind a large tree. Yu Canghai, not knowing what he was up to, also stopped. However, seeing no sound for a long time and no sign of Baixiaosheng's breathing, he was startled and quickly ran over. There was no sign of Baixiaosheng behind the tree.
"Damn!" Yu Canghai, enraged, struck the tree with a palm, breaking it through. He searched the surroundings but found no trace of Baixiaosheng. With no choice, Yu Canghai had to return.
Where was Baixiaosheng? He had hidden himself, but where?
Behind the large tree, there was no sign of Baixiaosheng for a whole night. Suddenly, Baixiaosheng appeared behind the tree, seemingly materializing out of thin air.
Where had he gone?
This was Baixiaosheng's secret, his greatest advantage.
To be precise, Baixiaosheng's original name was not Baixiaosheng but Lin Heng. He had transmigrated to a strange world.
"Smiling, Proud Wanderer"?
No!
Baixiaosheng's initial transmigration was not to "Smiling, Proud Wanderer" but to "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils," a variant of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils." There, he was born in Yun Family Village, which had three families: the Yun family, the founders; the Bai family, the in-laws who later moved in; and the Wang family, an ordinary family.
The earliest male head of the Wang family was a stranded hunter saved by the Yun family and settled in the village. He taught hunting skills to the other two families, earning their admiration and marrying a woman from the Bai family.
Since then, the village had three families, all related by marriage. Baixiaosheng was born into the Bai family.
It might sound impressive, but in reality, everyone was ordinary, just three large families, three unique surnames. In short, these three families were all ordinary people.
No, they couldn't be called ordinary because they knew martial arts!
Among the three families, the Yun family was said to have a martial arts master ancestor named Yun Feiyang. This name made Baixiaosheng quite sarcastic, and when he learned that the martial arts he practiced was called the Heavenly Silkworm Divine Skill, which included the Golden Silkworm Rain technique, he was even more exasperated.
Brother, is this the TV series "Golden Silkworm Rain" from Hong Kong?
Due to the Yun family's influence, the Bai and Wang families also learned martial arts. Over time, each family developed its own strengths. Baixiaosheng was lucky to be reborn into a family where both parents knew martial arts, even though their skills were just basic.
Under their guidance, Baixiaosheng naturally worked hard to practice.
This guy was really lucky. Although his family didn't have many good conditions, his parents knew martial arts, and his father, Baili Xi, had a sworn brother from the Yun family, a martial arts instructor. His name was Yun Tong, single, and he had a particular fondness for Baixiaosheng, thus passing down the Heavenly Silkworm Divine Skill.
This skill was a family tradition of the Yun family and shouldn't have been passed outside, but in reality, the Yun family had never produced any great masters, so this rule was gradually broken. In the past, this skill had been passed to the other two families, but they also never produced any great masters.
Yun Tong teaching Baixiaosheng this skill was not a big deal in the village. Because this so-called divine skill was no longer considered valuable by everyone.
It was precisely because of this that Baixiaosheng was able to practice this skill.
With the strong support of his parents and the help of Uncle Yun Tong, Baixiaosheng's progress was rapid. At thirteen, he defeated his parents, at fifteen, he could fight a hundred rounds with Yun Tong without losing, and by eighteen, he defeated Yun Tong, becoming a young master.
His rapid progress was not only due to his own efforts but also to a significant golden finger, the system he brought from his transmigration.
The system was called "Analysis." As the name suggests, it analyzed all martial arts in the world. Through Baixiaosheng's eyes, the knowledge he learned was input into the system for analysis, and Baixiaosheng practiced in the system space, receiving evaluations. It was through these evaluations that Baixiaosheng always followed the correct path, thus improving rapidly.
Of course, you can't ignore Baixiaosheng's efforts.
Although Baixiaosheng's previous life was just a shut-in, becoming a child changed his spirit, and he didn't find practice tiring. As the difficulty gradually increased, he became accustomed to it. After realizing he was in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils," a variant of it, he became even more diligent.
He hoped to match palms with Xiao Feng, compete in footwork with Xuzhu, and compare knowledge with Murong Fu... With such passion, he naturally worked very hard.
