Chapter 62: The Great Family Competition, Ranked First!

  Gu Mengmeng instantly used her second-level martial skill, Fish and Water Sword Technique.

  The first-class martial skill of Fish Swordsmanship is to take a spiritual and mysterious quick path.

  However, the second-order Wuji Fish Water Swordsmanship is even more agile, even more mysterious, and even faster.

  Fish have water to live.

  Fish have water movement.

  The Fish and Water Sword Technique became even more agile, mysterious and swift.

  In fact, the Fish Water Sword Art has another effect.

  The Fish Water Sword Technique is a second-order martial skill, and all second-order martial skills are single-attribute skills. Single-attribute skills can bring out the effect of martial skills. The attribute of the Fish Water Sword Technique belongs to water, and its effect is to delay the opponent's movement, which is the characteristic of water-based attribute skills. Just like wind-based attributes generally speed up movements.

  Gu Mengmeng hadn't yet mastered this set of second-grade martial skills to the point where he could bring out its characteristic of slowing down his enemies. However, the second-grade martial skill itself was already much stronger than the first-grade one, with its agility, strangeness, and speed far surpassing that of the first-grade skill. At this moment, Gu Mengmeng's sword in hand became even more unpredictable and difficult to defend against.

  What a great set of second-order martial skills!

  The ferocity of this set of second-order martial arts is no less than that of the Mengshan Waterfall Sword, and may even be slightly higher.

  At that time, facing the Mengshan Waterfall Sword, a second-level martial skill, Gu Chao discovered its rhythm and sealed the sound of the sword with a piece of rotten mud to win. Now, facing the Fish-Water Sword Technique, this second-level martial skill cannot be sealed, what should Gu Chao do?

  "when"

  Gu Chao's swordsmanship was clearly struggling to keep up with Gu MoMo's current swift and changing moves.

  Gu Mengmeng's lips curled up with a cold smile, Gu Mengmeng had her own pride, the best innate talent, and the highest level of cultivation in the sect. So, in this family competition, Gu Mengmeng was sure to win first place. Gu Mengmeng's slender hand stabbed quickly, the sword light made strange and unpredictable changes within a very small range.

  "What a hassle. I didn't plan on using it." Gu Chao fell into a disadvantage, furrowed his brow: "Looks like I'll have to use second-tier martial skills too."

  Gu Chao also mastered second-order martial skills?

  This can't be happening.

  The second-level martial skill is usually taught after a few years of apprenticeship, and some people pass it on while others don't. Most of Gu's disciples didn't know the second-level martial skill, but Gu was an exception because she had been apprenticed to the sect for too long. However, Gu Mengmeng didn't apprentice for that long, but firstly, she had a reputation as a child prodigy, and secondly, it was said that she gained favor with one of the female elders in the Yu Nu Jian Zong, so she was taught the second-level martial skill ahead of time.

  But Gu Chao had just joined the Tai Shan Sect for seven months, how could he possibly be taught second-level martial skills by the Tai Shan Sect?

  But Gu Chao's knife method changed, and it was a move in the second-level knife method "Dì Fēng Dào Fǎ" - "Dì Fēng Xùn Léi", which was more complex.

  Right!

  Gu Chao's crimson copper long knife clashed with Gu Mo's icy sword in mid-air.

  Gu Chao's knife technique changed again, and it was another move of swift wind and sudden rain. The Gu family disciples standing beside him, those who had entered the door of other sects, were not blind to see that Gu Chao's knife technique was no longer within the range of first-class martial skills. Gu Chao actually knew second-class martial skills, but he only used it now.

  It has now become a second-class martial arts competition against second-class martial arts.

  Gu Chao's Gale Knife Technique clashed with Gu Mo's Fish Water Sword Technique.

  The Fish Water Sword Art is unpredictable, but Gu Chao's Gale Knife Art doesn't have many fancy moves, it's just pure speed, faster and faster, an extraordinary speed. All that can be seen are the knife winds whizzing by one after another, such fast knife winds, Gu Momo could initially cope with them at first, but found it increasingly difficult to deal with as Gu Chao's knife winds got faster and faster.

  Quick! At this time, Gu Mengmeng was already so busy that she was in a flurry.

  Faster! So fast that Gu Mengmeng's hands and feet were busy but still couldn't keep up, and basically couldn't block it.

  Even faster! Gu Mengmeng is now completely on the defensive and can't even block such a fast swordsmanship attack.

  Gu Momo had also thought of turning defense into offense, abandoning her defensive stance to launch a counterattack. However, Gu Chao's swordsmanship always came at the fastest speed, and she didn't even have the chance to turn things around.

  What a fast knife.

  Bang!

  One slash landed on Gu Momo's shoulder, with no blood flowing out because it was a backhand attack. However, Gu Chao's internal energy had already invaded Gu Momo's body, causing his face to change color. Meanwhile, Gu Chao's knife technique changed and another swift slash appeared in front of Gu Momo's throat.

  "Why can you be so fast?" Gu Mengmeng asked, she couldn't figure out the reason.

  "This is because it's a second-order martial skill with a single attribute." Gu Chao replied, "A second-order single-attribute martial skill, once it reaches small success, can bring out the effect of its attribute. My knife technique has the wind attribute, and I've practiced it to small success, so naturally, my knife technique is faster. Yours should be a water-based martial skill, if you practice it to small success, you can slow down your opponent's speed. If you had practiced this set of sword techniques to small success, we would still have a chance to fight, unfortunately, you didn't." Gu Chao explained the reason slowly and clearly.

  "You've already mastered the second-level martial skill to a small extent." Gu Mengmeng widened her beautiful eyes, she had also spent some time in the Yue Nu Jian Zong and understood many things. When the female elder taught her this set of second-level martial skills, Fish-Water Swordsmanship, it was mentioned that mastering a second-level martial skill to a small extent was extremely difficult, much more so than a first-level martial skill. Even with Gu Mengmeng's exceptional talent, it would take a considerable amount of time to achieve this. And yet, Gu Chaoming had joined the Tai Shan Sect for only seven months and had already mastered this set of martial skills to a small extent. No, not just that, Gu Mengmeng recalled that Gu Chaoming had also mastered the first-level martial skill, Tai Shan 72 Road Knife Technique, to the level of great mastery.

  It was only seven months, after all. How many things did Gu Chao do? His internal strength rose from the second layer of the acquired realm to the sixth layer, and in terms of knife skills, he practiced a set of first-class martial arts to perfection, and a set of second-class martial arts to minor perfection. How could he accomplish so much in just seven months? Gu Momo felt deeply powerless at this moment. Gu Momo had always thought of himself as a child prodigy, but now Gu Chao's performance was even more like that of a child prodigy. Could it be that Gu Chao was also a child prodigy?

  However, Gu Momo's eyes were filled with confidence. Although she lost to Gu Chao this time, Gu Momo would not admit defeat so easily. She also had confidence in herself, her talent was not bad, and being from the Yue Nu Jian Zong was better than the Tai Shan Sect. So next time they met, she would definitely be stronger than Gu Chao, definitely. That's how confident and proud Gu Momo was as a girl.

  Gu Mengmeng was shocked and said in a low voice, "Unbelievable, Gu Chao actually still had a second-stage martial skill that he has been hiding until now, and it's even a second-stage wind system martial skill that has reached small completion." Gu Yu was indeed shocked, originally when Gu Chao fought him, he hadn't used his full strength, and he also deeply understood what achieving big completion in a second-stage martial skill represented.

  Gu Ling, Gu Lang, Gu Ping, Gu Guang, Gu Yongfeng and others also knew what the small success of the second-level martial arts represented.

  Gu Chao's current performance is indeed almost worthy of the title "Little Genius", but still slightly lacking.

  The king shouted loudly: "The final battle, Gu Chao wins."

  Firstly, I have finally made up my mind about the first one.

  The first is not the two strongest contenders Gu Momo and Gu Yu, but rather the previously unknown Gu Chao.

  Of course, no one is dissatisfied because Gu Chao has been winning all the way. First, he defeated Gu Yu and then Gu Mengmeng.

  ……

  Tao Ying finally realized that she was truly wrong, originally thinking Gu Chao was very weak, but it turned out he was so strong. If she had known how strong he was earlier, she would have definitely agreed to the blind date. Of course, in Tao Ying's mind, as long as she agreed to the blind date, Gu Chao would have definitely agreed too, because she was the beautiful Miss Tao. In reality, however, Gu Chao didn't even take a liking to her.

  Tao Zhi County sighed and knew that this marriage was hard to recover.

  Because Tao Zhi County just saw Gu Chao's eyes when he defeated Gu Mo.

  That was a very calm appearance, but with pride and sharp eyes.

  For someone with such a personality, this marriage is irretrievable.

  What a pity!

  What a talented son-in-law!
