Chapter Thirty-Four: The Art of Attack and Defense

  "(Free.) This is an old man's practice of a body method, which can be used as your life-saving technique." As he spoke, Xue Renguig's figure moved, and Ye Feng only felt a flash in front of his eyes. Xue Renguig's body became extremely strange in front of him, and although Ye Feng could see Xue Renguig's body clearly, he was unable to determine where Xue Renguig would land next.

  Straining his eyes wide open, afraid of missing any detail, Ye Feng stared intently at Xue Rengu's body, but only saw the residual shadows in his eyes, unable to understand the trajectory of Xue Rengu's actions.

  "Understand it yourself, how much you can comprehend depends on your fate." Xue Rengu said simply and sat down heavily in the old rattan chair, panting heavily. The transmission of power and display of his extraordinary skills had exhausted him instantly.

  Looking at Xue Renguigui closing his eyes, Ye Feng knew that he couldn't disturb the old man at this time.

  Xue Rengu's movement was too strange, making Ye Feng dizzy and unable to remember even a tenth of it, which made him very angry.

  He couldn't go disturb Xue Rengu who was still recovering, so Ye Feng lowered his head.

  The ground was originally paved with smooth bluestone, but now there were countless dense footprints clearly printed on the bluestone, complex and confusing, making it impossible to tell which way was which.

  Ye Feng was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood that this was left behind by Xue Rengu when he was displaying his footwork earlier, in case Ye couldn't see clearly, he had imprinted the steps on the ground.

  Yefeng pondered over the footprints with the vague image still lingering in his mind.

  The direction of the footprints was extremely strange, sometimes left and sometimes right, sometimes forward and sometimes backward, making it impossible for people to figure out the way.

  Fortunately, Ye Feng had just witnessed Xue Rengu's performance and stepped into the footprints left by Xue Rengu with a subtle impression.

  "Boom!"

  It was just the second step, and Ye Feng's legs buckled, his body involuntarily falling to the ground.

  He almost got a bloody nose and swollen face, but also made Ye Feng's palm, which was propping up the ground, ache with pain.

  What kind of footwork is this, that makes the practitioner himself fall to the ground. If it were in a match against an enemy, before the other side even makes a move, he would already have fallen to the ground and be unable to get up, it's simply the biggest joke in the world.

  But obviously Elder Xue Ren Gui would not frame himself, Ye Feng firmly believed.

  Absolutely cannot let a small step hinder him, Ye Feng's stubbornness comes up and nine cows and two tigers can't pull him back.

  Without even dusting himself off, Ye Feng got up and continued to follow in Xue Ren Gui's footsteps, his eyes filled with unyielding determination.

  "Boom!"

  "Boom!"

  ……

  Ye Feng fell down again and again, but got up again and again.

  Xue Rengu's face, who was meditating with his eyes closed, revealed a rare smile, and he was relieved by Ye Feng's persistence. A peerless pace is not so easy to grasp, without paying a thousand efforts, how can one succeed?

  It was unknown how long had passed when Ye Feng was still chasing after the footprints. The sky gradually darkened and night fell.

  Xue Renguang threw out his hand, and a shiny pearl landed on one of the pillars in the courtyard of the library pavilion. The faint light, although not as bright as daylight, still illuminated the footprints on the ground clearly.

  Ye Feng seemed to have forgotten about time, still putting all his spirit into his footsteps.

  The sun rises and sets, three days' scenery in the blink of an eye.

  Ye Feng was like a dusty little monkey, his body covered in dust and dirt, his pale face smeared with grey dust, with streaks of sweat washing away the grime, his two palms bright red from repeatedly falling and propping himself up.

  His body was exhausted, but his spirit was not weak. Ye Feng's eyes were filled with bloodshot, and he had not stopped for three days, nor had he closed his eyes.

  Xue Rengu was paying attention to Ye Feng all along and couldn't help but feel relieved by Ye Feng's desperate efforts, thinking that he hadn't misjudged the person after all.

  The sun is about to set in the west, and the third day is also approaching dusk.

  Just as the sun was setting, Ye Feng seemed to see a glimmer of light in his eyes, and every footprint on the ground appeared with a clear and visible glow, connecting each step together, making it clear which direction the next step would be.

  Actually, light does not exist, footprints are still footprints.

  Without hesitation, Ye Feng followed the direction of Guang Mang's finger, step by step, following the footprints.

  Only Ye Feng's body was twisting and turning, as if space was distorted, suddenly appearing in any unexpected direction.

  "Huh?"

  Although Xue Rengu was meditating with his eyes closed, he clearly heard Ye Feng's movements in his ears. Hearing the sound of Ye Feng's clothes fluttering and no longer falling, Xue Rengu opened his eyes and stared at Ye Feng in disbelief.

  Ye Feng seemed to have suddenly enlightened, his body still a bit clumsy, but the movements of his feet were not slow at all, completely following Xue Rengu's footprints on the ground.

  Xue Rengu's helpless shaking of his head, perhaps heaven is fair. Although Ye Feng was a chaotic body, he had to put in unimaginable effort and difficulty in cultivation compared to others, but heaven had given Ye Feng absolute talent.

  This set of footwork was something Xue Rengu had obtained from an ancient relic, and it took him a whole year to master it. But Ye Feng achieved the same level in just three days under the same conditions, how could Xue Rengu not be shocked?

  "Boom!"

  Yifeng, who was already exhausted, finished a complete set of steps and then sat down on the ground with a thud, his eyes dull and his mouth agape as he panted heavily.

  Xue Rengu floated in front of Ye Feng, waved his palm, and Ye Feng fell into a deep sleep.

  "It seems choosing this little guy was right after all." Xue Rengu said to himself as he picked up Ye Feng.

  Lying in Xue Rengu's house, Ye Feng also didn't know how long he had fallen asleep. In his sleep, he was still recalling that set of footwork. As the saying goes, "one method is connected to all methods". This set of footwork seemed to have an insurmountable threshold, and the first and second steps were particularly important. Ye Feng had been unable to grasp the subtlety of it in the past few days.

  When he saw through the subtlety of it, he also understood the magic of this set of steps. His entire lower limbs seemed to have a kind of power governing his actions, making every step follow the mark left by Xue Ren Gui.

  Ye Feng's body slightly trembled in his sleep, and in the depths of his mind, he was still turning over and over. When the last step was finished, Ye Feng suddenly opened his eyes and woke up from his dream.

  The sun rises high in the sky, outside insects are chirping and birds are singing, a beautiful day has already begun.

  It looks like a bedroom after taking a glance around the environment.

  Ye Feng tried hard to recall his situation before he fell asleep. Combining it with the current environment, it should be Elder Xue Rengu's bedroom.

  Stand up and move around, feeling sore all over the body.

  Xue Rengu was basking in the warm sunlight outside, taking a leisurely nap.

  "Thank you, elder, for passing on your skills. Ye Feng is grateful from the bottom of his heart and will not dare disobey any orders from the elder."

  Yefeng deeply understood the preciousness of this kung fu after mastering these two techniques.

  "You young man have some talent and are also quite diligent, I'll pass on these two skills to you, at least they won't be buried with me."

  Hearing Xue Renguang say this, Ye Feng understood the meaning behind it and knelt down on the ground, kowtowing three times to Xue Renguang.

  Xue Rengu accepted Ye Feng's kowtow and immediately waved his hand to stop Ye Feng from saying what he wanted to say.

  "Although you've inherited my mantle, you can't be considered my disciple. These two techniques were obtained from a relic, and seeing them being passed on is enough to satisfy me." Xue Rengu continued: "I have no other requests for you, just teach that little scoundrel in the Sword Pavilion a good lesson, and it will be worth my while."

  After finishing speaking, Xue Renguigesticulated to Ye Feng with a wave of his hand, indicating that he could leave.

  Ye Feng knew that these old guys all had some quirks, and once they made a decision, it couldn't be changed. He looked at Xue Renguigui with a serious expression, then turned around and left.

  Life is unpredictable and ever-changing.

  Originally wanted to come to the library to read books, but didn't expect to encounter such a good thing.

  Thinking of Xue Ren Gui's attitude towards himself, some things suddenly became clear.

  It wasn't long after Ye Feng had finished drawing the dragon-raising symbol paper that he arrived at the Cangshu Pavilion and read a book about symbol papers. At the time, Ye Feng didn't think much of it and memorized all the contents on it. Later, relying on those records, he drew out various symbol papers. He was also puzzled - this kind of book should be quite high-level, so why would it appear on the first floor of the Cangshu Pavilion?

  Later, the high profit of the symbol paper made Ye Feng even more suspicious. Such a classic, not to mention in the Wanghai School, is absolutely confidential in any major school, and it's impossible for an ordinary servant like him to casually browse through it.

  When Ye Feng went to the library again, the book was gone.

  It seems now that Xue Ren Gui had intentionally put it there, although the intention of Xue Ren Gui is unknown, but apparently for Ye Feng's good.

  An old man like an enigma.

  Could it be that Brother really basked in the glory of the protagonist, and any old man who came out was a peerless master, crying and shouting to pass on his life's cultivation to himself.

  Ye Feng smiled with satisfaction, it seemed that this trip through time and space wasn't all bad luck after all, and good things were happening one after another.

  In high spirits, Ye Feng sprinted towards his residence with a light step. He hadn't been back for several days and didn't know how naughty had been doing. These past few days, he also hadn't asked Elder Sun Qi for leave, having completely forgotten about his official duties. Hopefully, he wouldn't be punished.

  Upon arriving at his residence, a young boy standing beside Elder Sun Qi outside the door saw Ye Feng return and stepped forward saying: "Ye Feng, the elder has something to entrust you with."

  Just got back and you're already looking for me.

  "What does the elder have to say." For this little kid, Ye Feng still didn't dare to offend him, after all, he was someone by the side of the master of Spiritual Beast Peak, offending him would not end well.

  "The elder has handed over, from now on, you don't have to take care of Naughty anymore." said the little boy.

  "Why." Ye Feng thought to himself, trouble has arrived, Elder Sun Qi seeing that he had been gone for several days, was going to deal with him.

  "The elder said, from now on, you just focus on cultivating, put all your thoughts on the life and death arena duel with the Sword Pavilion disciples, other things wait until after the life and death arena is over." Little Tongzi said.

  Oh, I see.

  It scared me half to death, but Old Man Sun isn't that inhumane after all. This wasn't just for his own preparations; he even made time especially for this.

  It wasn't until now that Ye Feng felt a hint of familiarity with Ling Shou Peak.

  "Yefeng, have you heard?" The little boy continued.

  "What's wrong." Ye Feng had been in the library for several days and didn't know what Xiaotongzi was talking about.

  "Regarding your life-and-death duel with Ruan Jialin, it has a great impact on the entire Wanghai faction. It's said that everyone is betting on you to lose."

  "Is that so." Ye Feng said disdainfully. If it were just a few days ago, Ye Feng still didn't have the confidence to win, and even with Xiao Qiang's super repair technique, he wouldn't dare say for sure that he could take down Ruan Jialin. But now things are different, with tactics for attack and defense, Ye Feng's momentum has greatly increased.
