The heavens began with the Divine Condor becoming the disciple of the Old Urchin.

Chapter 24: Answering the Question Truth

Lu Qingdu only felt a blur before his eyes, and the wooden sword in his hand was blocked by Yang Guo. At the same time, Yang Guo stabbed him twice.

We actually lost!

Lu Qingdu stood there, completely bewildered. He had victory in his grasp, so how could he have lost so suddenly?

Not only did he not understand it, but even his master Zhao Zhijing and others did not understand it at all.

They only knew that Yang Guo's sword move that turned the tide of battle was incredibly ingenious, but they couldn't quite explain exactly what made it so ingenious.

The arena fell silent instantly, everyone staring in shock at Yang Guo, who stood with his sword in hand.

The third-generation disciples couldn't understand it, but Ma Yu and the others could see it clearly and knew that Yang Guo was using the Quanzhen Sect's top sword technique, "One Sword Transforms into Three Pure Ones".

But how could this kid have learned this sword technique so quickly after only a short time of training?

Qiu Chuji pondered for a moment, then turned to Qian Jin beside him and said:

"Junior Brother Qian, I never imagined that Guo'er has only been a disciple for a few months, yet you have already taught him our Quanzhen Sect's most superior sword technique, One Sword Transforms into Three Pure Ones."

However, while this sword technique is powerful, it is also incredibly profound. With his current swordsmanship foundation, it's still too much of a stretch for him to execute it.

Upon hearing this, Qian Jin said:

"Brother Qiu is right. When I taught him this One Sword Transforms into Three Pure Ones technique, it was only to help him understand the essence of swordsmanship. I also warned him never to use it lightly."

Once he grasps the essence of the "One Sword Transforms into Three Pure Ones" sword technique, he can then return to practice the Quanzhen Sword Technique with ease and mastery.

Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this, thinking that the path of martial arts has always been a gradual one, progressing from the shallow to the deep.

There's no way to learn the difficult things first and then go back to learn the simple ones.

If someone else had said that, they would have retorted without hesitation.

However, Qian Jin is different.

Because his skill in teaching apprentices was truly exceptional.

In just a few months, Yang Guo mastered the Haotian Palm technique to such a high level, and also mastered the Quanzhen Sword Technique. He could even barely execute a move of the One Sword Transforms into Three Pure Ones technique.

This achievement was something they never dared to dream of before, but now that the facts were before them, they had no choice but to carefully consider what Qian Jin had just said.

After some deep thought, everyone realized that Qian Jin's words did make some sense.

They all believed that with their current martial arts skills, if they were to learn a basic sword technique, they could easily master it.

Seeing that everyone had been fooled, Qian Jin was overjoyed and continued:

"The principles of martial arts are interconnected; although various martial arts are very different, they also have commonalities."

I'm teaching him this way so that Yang Guo can improve his martial arts skills more quickly.

Everyone nodded upon hearing this, looking as if they had learned something. At the same time, they were also thinking about whether they should improve their methods of teaching their apprentices when they got back.

Ma Yu looked at Qian Jin with a half-smile, but remained silent.

Qian Jin had studied those three unique skills over and over again, but he couldn't decide which one to learn, which he found rather strange.

Now it seems that his junior brother probably has extraordinary talent!

Otherwise, it would be impossible to master a superior martial art simply by reading it a few times.

……

Yang Guo defeated Lu Qingdu by transforming his sword into three pure beings, and immediately realized that he had made a mistake.

When his master taught him this sword technique, he instructed him not to use it lightly. Now, he actually used it in front of everyone at the martial arts tournament. His master is probably going to be angry.

So he disregarded everything else, quickly threw down his wooden sword, ran to Qian Jin, and knelt down, saying:

"Master, I accidentally used a sword technique that I shouldn't have used just now. I hope you will punish me."

Upon hearing this, Qian Jin smiled faintly and said:

"It's alright. I'm teaching you the One Sword Transforms into Three Pure Ones Sword Technique so that you can better comprehend the Quanzhen Sword Technique."

The reason I don't let you use it easily is because it's too difficult for you to use this sword technique now, and you're likely to suffer a backlash.

"You demonstrated your skill in that critical moment, which shows you have indeed gained a good understanding of this sword technique. How could I possibly punish you?"

Seeing that Qian Jin showed no sign of blaming him, Yang Guo was overjoyed and quickly and respectfully stepped aside.

But just then, Ma Yu suddenly walked over and asked with a smile:

"Guo'er, your master taught you the One Sword Transforms into Three Pure Ones technique to help you better understand the Quanzhen Sword Technique."

"Since you've mastered the Haotian Palm technique to such a high level, I wonder if your master taught you some other powerful palm technique?"

When Yang Guo saw Ma Yu bypass his master and come directly to ask him questions, he thought that Ma Yu had accidentally used the "One Sword Transforms into Three Pure Ones" technique and caused some trouble for his master.

So she didn't dare answer, and instead secretly turned her gaze to Qian Jin.

Upon seeing this, Qian Jin glared and said:

"Why are you looking at me like that? Just answer the question your master asks you truthfully."

Upon hearing this, Yang Guo then said:

"Reporting to Master Uncle, besides teaching me the Haotian Palm, my master did not teach me any other palm techniques."

"Yeah?"

"Yes, disciple would never dare to deceive Master Uncle."

Seeing Yang Guo's insistence, Ma Yu looked at Qian Jin with a half-smile, clearly not believing Yang Guo's words at all.

Qian Jin saw everything clearly from the side.

Yang Guo's cleverness backfired. If he hadn't looked at himself and had answered directly, perhaps Ma Yu would have believed him.

But now, no matter what he says, Ma Yu won't believe him anymore.

Even if he wanted to help explain, he would probably only make things worse.

Since that's the case, Qian Jin didn't bother to explain anymore. Let Ma Yu think whatever she wants!

After the fourth-generation disciples finished their competition, it was the third-generation disciples' turn to compete.

Zhao Zhijing, Yin Zhiping, and others took turns exiting the arena, and the final result was not surprising; Zhao Zhijing's martial arts skills remained the strongest.

However, with Qian Jin's guidance during this period, Yin Zhiping's martial arts skills have improved a lot, only slightly inferior to Zhao Zhijing's.

This made Zhao Zhijing feel a great sense of crisis.

……

After the martial arts tournament ended, it was the New Year, and the Quanzhen Sect enjoyed a few unusually lively days.

Early that morning, as soon as Qian Jin stepped out of the door, he saw Cheng Yaojia waiting outside. Only then did he remember that during the martial arts tournament, he had promised Cheng Yaojia that he would teach her a superior martial art.

I didn't expect them to come knocking on my door so quickly.

So he said:

"Junior Nephew Cheng, you've come to see me to learn that superior martial art, haven't you?"

Cheng Yaojia hadn't expected Qian Jin to be so blunt, so she quickly bowed to him and said:

"I've come here to wish Uncle Qian a Happy New Year."

Upon hearing this, Qian Jin couldn't help but laugh and said:

"Haha, since we're here to exchange New Year's greetings, shouldn't we prepare some New Year's gifts?"
