The Ancestor of our Sect Isn’t Acting like an Elder Chapter 77

Chapter 77: 77
Chapter 77– Lecture on Martial Arts (II)
Well, for Situ Mutou to take the position of the Elder of Martial Guidance is right and proper . After all, even Qi Qiqi had to shake her head, sigh, and assess him as a “martial maniac”… Xue Qilin mused .
It terms of passion for martial arts, Situ Mutou won’t lose to anyone .
At this moment, a gaze shot in her direction .
Xue Qilin met the gaze and found that Situ Mutou is looking at her . There is no surprise in the dull eyes .
No reaction, did he know in advance? Xue Qilin couldn’t pry anything out of the other party .
She isn’t worried that her identity will be exposed .
Although Qi Qiqi’s handling of affairs cannot be rated as perfect, but she would never forget to inform the Elders that Xue Qilin is pretending to be an outer temple disciple learning kung fu .
Situ Mutou nodded imperceptibly as a greeting, and she nodded back .
“I didn’t expect for it to be the chief disciple of inner temple . ” Shui Yuner blinked in surprise, “He is an amazing character, right?”
“It won’t take long for him to step into Heaven Realm… maybe less than a year . ”
“So he’s this amazing!”
For Shui Yuner, Heaven Realm must be a very distant boundary which she might not reach even after a lifetime .
That said, Xue Qilin couldn’t help but see Situ Mutou in a new light .
Isn’t Little Mutou progressing too fast?
She has been away for less than a month, yet Situ Mutou’s cultivation base has made some progress .
It stands to reason that a rise in cultivation base in Earth Realm is much slower than in Human Realm . It usually takes months before a Heaven Realm master can detect a difference brought about by the progress of an Earth Realm expert .
In other words, Situ Mutou’s progress has surpassed common sense .
Of course, if Xue Qilin’s keen perception ability different from that of ordinary Heaven Realm masters is taken into account, then Situ Mutou’s rate of progress is merely much faster than that of ordinary people, but it’s still far from being abnormal .
When it comes to rate of progress, then Qi Qiqi must be mentioned .
Her cultivation base is rising at an astonishing rate . You can sense her cultivation base rising every one or two weeks .
However, her talent for magic isn’t that good… Instead, it is…
Xue Qilin glanced at the girl beside her .
Shui Yuner has been born with congested qi passageways, yet she has a unique innate advantage in terms of magic .
After she learns magic, she’ll definitely be another “Qi Qiqi” – Xue Qilin believes this firmly .
Hey, Little Seven can be considered as my quasi-disciple . After Shui Yuner becomes my disciple, won’t I have two geniuses of martial arts and magic as my disciples?
Thinking till here, Xue Qilin couldn’t help but giggle .
“Little Senior Disciple Sister, are you thinking of something funny? If I can, I’d like to hear it . ”
Shui Yuner said with a smile, and then changed the topic .
“But before that, the lecture on martial arts seems to be about to start . If you really want to learn kung fu, then you’d better listen carefully, little Senior Disciple Sister . ”
“Oh, oh . ”
Xue Qilin looked up .
Unwittingly, Situ Mutou is already standing on the stage .
Silence pervades the square .
The disciples who originally spoke in hushed tones about different topics shut their mouths at the moment Situ Mutou appeared on stage .
They are all waiting, waiting for the Elder of Martial Guidance to speak .
This is an expression of due respect .
Additionally, the lass also found that everyone has a certain emotion in their eyes .
The emotion is called “reverence” .
In the eyes of everyone, Situ Mutou spoke clearly in a loud, overcast voice .
“Today’s lecture is on the introduction to Merak Swordsmanship . ”
Countless expectations have been exchanged for such a short sentence .
Without any preface, go straight to the point – a speech that fully conforms to Situ Mutou’s style .
If she heard a long speech from him, Xue Qilin would instead worry that there might be something wrong with him .
However, in the eyes of others, this opening statement is a bit abrupt .
Most of the people in the square have looks of surprise on their faces .
This is a natural response .
Suddenly, Xue Qilin found a handful of people with disappointment on their faces .
The reason for this isn’t lack of a touching opening statement, but…
“Why is it the introduction to Merak Swordsmanship!”
“Last time it was a lecture on Still Water Swordsmanship!”
“Alas, it’s an introduction, what a waste of time . ”
“In any case, it’s a lecture on Merak arc!”
Most of the people discussed in dissatisfaction, and some even adopted an attitude of “if it hasn’t started already, then let’s leave now” .
From the scattered bits and pieces of conversation, it can be assumed that what made the people here dissatisfied is that the content of the lecture is “introduction to Merak Swordsmanship” .
“What’s this all about?”
Xue Qilin turned her head subconsciously and asked Shui Yuner, and the latter couldn’t help smiling wryly .
“Little Senior Disciple Sister, I’m not an intelligence officer of the Leisure Manor, I don’t know everything . ”
Then…
“But I have my speculations . ”
She closed her right eye mischievously and pressed a finger against her lips .
Xue Qilin blinked her eyes to urged the other party to explain .
“Although Merak Swordsmanship is the most exquisite swordsmanship in the Merak Temple, but it is also a set of progressive swordsmanship . In other words, it goes from shallow to deep . The deepest is naturally exquisite, on the other hand, the shallowest will appear simple and easy . ”
Shui Yuner’s breathing brought a short pause .
“And the introduction is the most shallow part . ”
It turns out they think that the content of the lecture is too simple .
“Elder Situ has gone to a lot of trouble for us . ”
Shui Yuner has just finished speaking, when she sighed with both gratitude and apology .
“Hey, why do you say that?”
“Today should be the first lecture after the new batch of disciples joined the temple . Elder Situ may have taken into account the needs of the new disciples before specially picking the introduction to Merak Swordsmanship . This is the only reason why he would have to let the senior disciples down . ”
The reason is actually very simple .
Everyone wants to get more resources .
Regrettably, resources are limited .
In each distribution, if someone gets more, then another gets less .
If you get more, you’ll naturally be happy, but it you get less, you’ll be dissatisfied and disappointed .
That’s all there is to it .
Whatever the case, he still came specially to lecture you on martial arts! Xue Qilin felt bad for Situ Mutou .
However, Situ Mutou himself seems to be unfazed .
Ignoring everyone else, he unsheathed “Heavenly Rock” .
… Like a volcanic eruption .
His eyes erupted with amazing spirit .
He just unsheathed his sword, yet he feels like a totally different person, exhibiting an imposing manner .
It seems like even the wind congealed .
“First form, Breaking the Heavens!”
Situ Mutou said the name of the sword move in a deep voice .
In the next moment, the sword moved .
“Heavenly Rock” stabbed out .
The sword strike is shocking to say the least .
The sword tip reflecting sharp light appears to pierce through space as it thrusts before Xue Qilin’s eyes .
From Situ Mutou’s refined swordsmanship, it can be seen that although he isn’t as good as Ye Zhen, but he is not too far behind . Since Luo Qing’s passing, he well deserves the title of the Merak Temple’s number three .
The expressions of everyone in the square changed drastically because of this sword strike .
The different expressions turned into amazement .
Their expressions seem to be asking “How on earth does a sword stab has such amazing power?”
No one answered this question .
In everyone’s eyes, there is no room for other people except for Situ Mutou wielding his sword on the stage .
Shui Yuner is no exception, nor is Xue Qilin .
The sword moves in the introduction to Merak Swordsmanship are just some basic ways of wielding the sword with glorified names . They’re far removed from what is regarded as swordsmanship .
Although it might be just an ordinary stab, but it will yield different results when performed by different people . Situ Mutou communicates this to everyone through a live performance .
Then, there is only one question they should ponder and study – why is this mediocre move so fierce when performed by the other party? Where is the gap?
After quickly finishing a few sword moves, Situ Wood sheathed his sword .
However, everyone seems to be indulging in the aftertaste, unable to extricate themselves .
Are they still pondering the performance just now? Xue Qilin guessed . She is different from everyone else . With her superior combat experience, she can easily understand the gap between her and Situ Mutou .
What she lacks is to practice one move to the pinnacle .
