Chapter 9: Dots

  Chapter Nine Little

  When going back, Jin Chengwu still wanted to drive, but I carried him to the back.

  "Are you alive again?" Jin Chengwu rubbed his shoulders and said.

  I drove while gesturing wildly and said, "Brother, I'm now a master of the Book of Changes, not an ordinary person!" I asked Su Jing worriedly, "Will driving like this pull down the steering wheel?" I stuck my head out the window and danced around for half a day in front of a trash can, but it didn't budge at all.

  Old Wu said: "How come we can't feel anything different about you from usual?"

  "Yes, how could this be?" I asked Su Jing.

  Su Jingdao said: "Because now your sword energy doesn't listen to your command at all."

  "Then yesterday..."

  Su Jing had already replied: "Yesterday was probably when Jian Qi happened to pass through the Dan Tian and was accidentally forced out by you."

  "When will it pass through again?"

  Su Jingbai gave me a glance and said: "The sword energy is in your body, how would I know?"

  "I said gloomily: 'It can't be as bad as a train schedule, can it?'"

  "Jin Cheng Wudao: 'It's fine if you don't allow it, but don't be like Dong Zhan and never stop, okay?'"

  I'm speechless.

  Xiao Qian's face turned pale and she was so exhausted that she couldn't say a word after coming out. She recovered slightly only after resting in the car for a long time, patting her chest and saying: "Xiao Long Ge's power is too strong, it's unbearable even when it just passed through my body."

  "Are you okay?"

  Xiao Qian forced a smile and said: "It's much better now, but I'm afraid I won't be able to help you again for a while."

  Old Wu said: "What I worry most about is that Liu Laoliu's book clearly states that doing so would be detrimental to virtue and would greatly hinder Xiaoxian's future cultivation."

  I said: "Can't we even take back our own things?"

  Old Wu said: "Heaven is not human, it can't be distinguished."

  Xiao Qian said, "Don't worry, Senior Wu. If it weren't for Xiao Long and Su sister, I'm afraid I would have lost my soul long ago. Let my virtue be flawed if that's what it is; in any case, I am guiltless."

  I didn't expect Xiao Qian to be so gentle on the outside and strong on the inside, I couldn't help but sincerely praise her: "Xiao Qian, you're really a hero!"

  After going home, Su Jing found me alone and said seriously: "According to our previous plan, we should have gone by now, but since you want to be a real Sword God, I'll help you out. From today on, I'll start teaching you martial arts!"

  I rolled my eyes and said, "You're going to teach me?" I knew that Su Jing's master was Ku Mei, and Ku Mei was my apprentice in my past life. Now, being taught by a junior apprentice felt strange, and having a girl teach me stirred up the male chauvinism within me.

  Su Jing seemed to see through my thoughts and said, "You don't have to call me Master."

  "I don't need to call you auntie either?"

  "What?"

  "Oh, never mind, you go on, we don't have to start from horse stance anymore, right?"

  "No more time, I can only tell you the combat theory that I have figured out, and it's up to your understanding from now on."

  I frowned and said, "Is it the Guo surname again?" I found that this thing called the Guo surname is actually a way of saying that one's surname is about to be exterminated. Guo Jing had a good Guo surname, but in the end, he could only tie with the Four Greats; Yang Guo had a good Guo surname too, and he also tied with the Four Greats (by the way, the Four Greats are actually the biggest NPCs in the three-part series). Linghu Chong's Guo surname was not good at all, and without his sword, he couldn't do anything. Shi Potian didn't have any Guo surname to speak of, but in the end, he became a top-notch master who defied the heavens. So this thing is simply unreasonable, it's just whatever the writer wants to make up.

  I gave Su Jing a preventive shot: "My surname Wu is not good enough!"

  Just then, a giant dandelion-like figure bounced into the hotel entrance. At first, I thought Old Wu had transformed something again, but upon closer inspection, I realized it was Gao Xiaowei. This girl had straightened her hair to the roots, which were floating around as she moved, like a dandelion fairy in training; when still, she looked like a cotton candy that had been transformed by Cheng Ren.

  As soon as I saw her, my head swelled by three points: "How did you get here? Did you kick someone's egg again?"

  Gao Xiaowei glared at me and said, "I've come to learn martial arts from Sister Su." She took a step forward and warmly said to Su Jing, "Sister, you promised to teach me martial arts."

  "Sit down," Su said with a pause. "I was just about to teach your brother, and since you're here, listen together. I don't have time to teach you from the basics, so grasp as much as you can..."

  "It's up to your surname Wu now."

  Gao Xiaowei sat down opposite Su Jing: "Alright, let's begin."

  Su Jing frowned and looked at Gao Xiaowei. I patted her on the back of the head: "Spit out your gum."

  Gao Xiaowei originally wanted to fight back, but looking at Su Jing's face, she obediently spat out the chewing gum onto a tissue.

  Su Jing picked up a piece of paper and drew a small figure without facial features, saying: "I once told Xiaolong that I'm used to dividing my opponent's body into three areas: the head, chest and abdomen, and legs. When they want to launch an attack, these three parts will definitely move. How they move, what moves first, forms a hint of how we should defeat him. For example, if his right fist comes over, you need to think carefully whether to dodge or counterattack, and then command your own three areas to move accordingly."

  Gao Xiaowei immediately raised her hand and said, "I understand. It's just like when the little kid opposite you lowers his head, it means he wants to use his head to ram into you. We can press down on the back of his head with our toes and kick him in the face!"

  I'm speechless...... Su Jing smiled slightly and said: "What you said isn't wrong, but I've never seen anyone use the move of hitting people with their head before."

  I glared at Gao Xiaowei and said, "Stop using your little rascal tricks to humiliate us."

  Su Jing drew many small dots on the little man's body and limbs: "This is a more detailed division, every three points can be connected into a line, indicating an attack method, and each point is the weak point of the corresponding attack method." Su Jing pointed to the three points on the little man's leg and said, "Take this as an example. If the opponent wants to use his leg to attack you, these three points must move together. What we need to do is wait for him to attack and then find one of the points to counterattack. Of course, each point represents a different counterattack method."

  Gao Xiaowei sighed: "It's so complicated!"

  Su Jing stood up and pulled me along, saying: "I'll demonstrate with your brother."

  Su Jing pointed to my right calf and said to Gao Xiaowei, "Look, this is where the three dots on the map are." Su Jing stood three steps away from me and shouted loudly, "Long Yangyang, kick me with your right leg."

  I'm no fool, standing upright and saying: "You won't take revenge on me, will you?"

  "Just demonstrating, of course not..."

  Before she finished speaking, I kicked her thigh with one foot. Su Jing smiled slightly and hooked my leg crook with the toe of her right foot, and with a "plop", I fell into a dog-eating-shit posture.

  Su Jing asked Gao Xiaowei: "Do you see clearly?"

  "Look closely, it's really moving according to the three points on the diagram. If you demonstrate one more time, that would be great."

  Su Jingchong beckoned me and said: "Come on, let's try again."

  "Turtle egg is coming again!" I climbed up with a swollen nose and face: "By the way, who are you teaching martial arts to?"

  Su Jing smiled and said, "Practice is also learning."

  I hid far away and said: "Then you let her learn too."

  Gao Xiaowei said: "If you want to learn, then learn. Who's as timid as you?" She tentatively asked Su Jing, "Sister, can I play however I want?"

  "Alright, come on."

  Gao Xiaowei listened to her finish, suddenly retreated a few steps, added a run-up, and then kicked Su Jing with her body in the air. It has to be said that this little girl, after a long period of actual combat, is still quite ruthless. Su Jing dodged to her side, pulled up on her ankle, and Gao Xiaowei suddenly fell forward headfirst. Su Jing was afraid of hurting her, so she stretched out her hand to support her.

  I clapped and said: "This is good, this is good, it's just that the last throw was a bit off."

  Gao Xiaowei scrambled up, not even bothering to brush off the dirt on her pants, and exclaimed excitedly: "Sister, you're really amazing! I didn't notice it before, but thinking back, those points you drew are indeed inescapable. Fighting is actually so interesting!" She suddenly noticed that there were also many dots drawn next to the little person on Su Jing's paper, and asked: "Sister, what do these mean?"

  Su Jing said calmly: "Don't worry about those things, anyway, when you look at people, it's always a bit of a problem, and ordinary people can't beat you."

  "Go on, be careful."

  Su Jingdao said, "You're the same. Why don't we have a competition to see who can remember more in the shortest time?" Su Jing then drew another one and handed it to Gao Xiaowei, saying, "This one's for you."

  Gao Xiaowei took the "pointed paper" and walked to one side, while Su Jing placed the original in front of me and said: "Learning these will be very helpful for your self-defense. Unless you encounter a saint-level master, enemies below the level of sword masters are not worth mentioning."

  "What about the enemies at the Holy level?"

  "Those points outside the little man's body are the movement rules of sword energy. A swordsman above the Sword Saint level can control his sword energy to launch an attack on others, and it is impossible to tell which direction he will take just by looking at his appearance. However, there are also rules to follow based on the fluctuations of the opponent's sword energy. These points are the movement rules of sword energy, but you don't need to look at these now, first remember those in your body."

  I only took that paper and carefully looked at it, the dots on the little man's body were all over his body, and any three dots could be connected into a line. It indicates the necessary trajectory of human movement, that is to say, if the enemy wants to hit you, they must go through these routes, and once you recognize their trajectories, you can take the initiative, whether it's attacking or defending.

  Although I'm an outsider, I also understand that this simple picture has cost Su Jing a lot of effort and can be said to be the achievement of her life so far. It goes without saying that the value of this paper is in no way inferior to the Sword God's Secret Order she gave me before. I didn't dare to be slow, holding this paper and carefully reading it for half a day.

  After more than half an hour, Gao Xiaowei walked up to us with her hands behind her back. Su Jing asked her: "Do you remember now?"

  "Remembered about half of it."

  Su nodded and said, "Not slow, not slow." She then asked me, "What about you?"

  I made a bitter face and said: "I've already forgotten more than half of it."

  "You two think again."

  Gao Xiaowei thought for a moment and said, "I remember quite a bit more."

  I muttered: "I forgot again."

  Su Jing took out a piece of paper again and drew a small figure on it, asking Gao Xiaowei to mark on it. Gao Xiaowei poked and dotted on the paper, filling it with dots. Su Jing looked at it and said, "There are several mistakes, but it's rare." She placed the paper in front of me and said, "You draw what you remember too."

  I picked up my pen and only when I started drawing did I realize that my mind was filled with tiny dots, but none of them could be recalled specifically.

  Su Jing frowned and said: "Is your surname Wu really so bad?"

  I said with a sigh: "Why is it that the more Zhang Wuji forgets, the better he understands, but I forget so quickly and yet my understanding is worse?"

  Of course, I actually understand that Zhang Wuji learned sword intent, and the moves that Zhang Sanfeng demonstrated to him would restrict his play, so the faster he forgets them, the deeper his understanding. This is completely a test-taking strategy; the more you forget, the lower your score. If it were possible to get high scores this way, I would have entered Tsinghua or Peking University long ago - my college entrance exam score was only equivalent to that of our city's science champion in one comprehensive volume.

  Su Jing saw that I was confused and helplessly said, "You go to the side and continue to remember, I'll demonstrate with Xiao Wei." She called Gao Xiao Wei to the spacious area of the main hall and beckoned her to come, saying: "No matter what method you use, as long as you can think of it, you can use it to attack me. Later when I counterattack, you should carefully consider those points. The position of the points is fixed, but connecting them forms countless combinations. You must carefully comprehend and practice all the moves, it's impossible to master everything, in the end, you can only rely on yourself to discover."

  "Then I'll get started!" exclaimed Gao Xiaowei excitedly.

  Su Jingzhao beckoned with his hand: "Come."

  Gao Xiaowei suddenly rushed over, her small fist hitting Su Jing's nose without any politeness. Su Jing dodged to the side and countered with a reversal of Gao Xiaowei's punch, causing Gao Xiaowei to be lifted off the ground: "Ah yo ah yo."

  Su Jing let go of her and asked: "Have you thought of a corresponding point?"

  Gao Xiaowei concentrated her mind for a moment and exclaimed in surprise: "I remember now, this is how it's used."

  Su Jing smiled and said: "Of course, there are other ways, but for now, just learn one move at a time."

  "We'll continue," said Gao Xiaowei. As she spoke, she kicked out again, and Su Jing used two fingers to flick her heel, sending Gao Xiaowei tumbling backwards onto the ground.

  Like this, the two of them took turns demonstrating, and Gao Xiaowei naturally couldn't even touch Su Jing once, but she wasn't discouraged at all. Instead, she became more and more excited as they fought on, until she had used up all the moves she could think of to hit people, but still couldn't gain the upper hand against Su Jing in the slightest. Su Jing reached out a hand to stop her, saying: "Alright, now it's someone else's turn to fight you. Let's see if you can generalize from one case."

  "Who else?"

  "Anyway, I won't do it!"

  Gao Xiaowei rolled her eyes and said, "Coward, I wouldn't really hurt you."

  "I'm afraid of hurting you!"

  Su Jing swept his gaze around and suddenly shouted loudly: "Duan Tianya!"

  Duan Tianya had been secretly watching the Sword God's transmission of skills for half a day, and when Su Jing called him, his face turned red as he said, "I'll leave now."

  Su Jingdao said: "Who told you to leave? Come over and feed Xiaowei."

  Duan Tianya walked over with a huff: "What's going on?"

  Su Jingdao said: "You don't need to use sword energy, just like Xiaowei's empty-handed combat."

  Duan Tianya sulkily said: "I'm a mid-stage master of swordsmanship, and you want me to teach moves to a little girl?"

  Su Jingdao said: "Afterwards I can also teach you a few tricks."

  "Really?" Duan Tianya asked with great joy.

  "What the Sword God said doesn't count?"

  Duan Tianya hastily rolled up his sleeves: "Come on, I'm going all out."

  Su Jing said to Gao Xiaowei: "Now you just treat him as a bad guy who bullies you, if he wants to hit you, I'll see how you deal with it."

  Gao Xiaowei glanced at Duan Tianya and casually waved her hand in greeting: "Thanks, Uncle."

  "Am I really that old?"

  He had barely finished speaking when Gao Xiaowei's foot flew towards Duan Tianya, who was a master of dark and sinister moves. With ease, he grasped Gao Xiaowei's ankle bone and chuckled: "Little girl, your move is quite vicious."

  Su Jing shouted from one side: "Duan Tianya, return his sword!"

  Duan Tianya chopped down at Gao Xiaowei's neck with his palm, although without any sword energy, it was still as fast as a shooting star. Gao Xiaowei was clearly flustered for a moment, using both hands to block upwards. Duan Tianya had already changed his move midway, transforming his palm into a finger pointing at her throat. Suddenly, Gao Xiaowei's eyes flashed and she shouted: "Elbow Three Points!" She used one hand to support Duan Tianya's hand in front of her neck, while the other hand pinched towards Duan Tianya's elbow joint like a pair of pincers.

  But she was still a step too late, Duan Tianya's hand lightly tapped her neck and immediately withdrew, although he had won the move, his expression was extremely strange.

  Su Jing couldn't help but slightly change color and say: "Xiao Wei is really talented, she's only practiced for an afternoon and can already exchange moves with Duan Tianya, a high-level expert. Most importantly, it seems like she completely understands my method."

  I sourly said: "After making a big fuss, where is Gao Wuguo?"

  Su Jingdao: "Have you figured out anything in the past half day?"

  "What?" I asked bewilderedly.

  "You think I had them practice for nothing? Didn't you learn anything from their demonstration?"

  I scratched my head and said: "You didn't say it earlier, I've been watching the excitement for half a day."

  Su Jing let out a long sigh... For the entire afternoon, Gao Xiaowei had been entwining with Duan Tianya in hand-to-hand combat, and fighting against a brother from the Killer Organization. She naturally couldn't gain any advantage, on the contrary, if Duan Tianya wasn't careful, he would end up hurting her. But this little girl seemed to have gone crazy, like a child who had found their favorite toy, she was excitedly enthusiastic.

  And this afternoon, I remembered those points and got dizzy, some of which were memorized, but there is still a distance from being able to apply them in actual combat. Since childhood, I have always been opposed to this kind of formulaic teaching method, mainly because I think it's ridiculous to look at the other person's moves when fighting, he throws a punch and you kick back, who cares about the moves they've shown? Although Su Jing's method is indeed effective from the results of Gao Xiaowei's training, unfortunately, I just can't learn it well. This time it's not that I'm not being proactive, maybe I really am stupid in this regard, but obviously my stupidity in this area is a complete blank.

  Su Jing was also at a loss, and finally she could only say: "Alright, since you said you didn't understand the surname of your fist skills, then starting tomorrow I'll teach you swordsmanship!"

  Monthly ticket, monthly ticket ~ into the category of small flowers that will still burst out, this month I'm furious!
