Longevity starts with inheriting a friend's legacy

Chapter 87: Competition and Strength Assessment

While Lu Qingluo was cleaning the room, Huang Qingzhou looked at Fang Xu with some interest and said, "I see that your blood and energy are full. Although you are only at the fifth level of martial arts, your real strength should not be weak, right?"

Fang Xu bowed slightly: "Brother, you are too kind. My strength is insignificant compared to you."

Huang Qingzhou shook his head and smiled: "The entire Shengxian Association knows that the fighting ability of my master's disciples is the worst."

"Come and try a couple of moves with me."

Fang Xu's expression changed slightly when he heard this. He had never taken action since he broke through to the fourth level of martial arts. Now that he had reached the fifth level of martial arts, he really wanted to try out his current limit.

From the conversation between Huang Qingzhou and Su Cheng just now, he knew that Huang Qingzhou should be at the ninth level of martial artist. With Huang Qingzhou teaching him moves, he would definitely be able to test out his own strength.

"In that case, I will respectfully obey your command. Please, Senior Brother."

Inviting Huang Qingzhou to come to the martial arts arena, Chu Mu also turned his wheelchair to the side, ready to be a spectator.

After the two entered the martial arts arena, Huang Qingzhou asked, "What kind of weapon are you good at?"

Fang Xu thought for a moment and said, "Stick."

As he spoke, he picked up a short stick from the weapon rack next to the martial arts field and held it in his hand.

Huang Qingzhou also took off the sword at his waist, picked up an ordinary long sword from the weapon rack next to him, weighed it in his hand for a few times and said: "Even if we are sparring, I can't take advantage of you, so I'll use this sword."

The long sword made a sword flower in his hand, and Huang Qingzhou stood proudly, with no intention of attacking first.

Seeing this, Fang Xu turned the long stick in his hand slightly half a circle and immediately rushed towards Huang Qingzhou!
Clang!
Facing Fang Xu's direct attack, Huang Qingzhou easily blocked it with the sword in his hand and said, "No need to test, just go all out."

Fang Xu nodded slightly, swung the long stick in his hand, and smashed it directly at Huang Qingzhou!

Using a stick as a weapon, he took advantage of the weapon's strengths, and his stick techniques were powerful and wide, with bursts of whistling sounds in the arena!

But one inch longer and one inch shorter, compared with the vigorous opening and closing of the stick technique, Huang Qingzhou's sword technique is elegant and light. Whenever the long stick is approaching, he either blocks, picks, or dodges, and can always easily remove Fang Xu's attack.

After more than ten moves in the blink of an eye, Fang Xu gradually relaxed and immediately used the Nine Ape Staff Technique that he had practiced for many days!
The Nine-Ape Staff is an eighth-grade staff martial art known for its simplicity and flexibility.

His style of moves suddenly changed from the previous open and close to the current tricky and changeable, making the relaxed look on Huang Qingzhou's face slowly disappear.

He originally wanted to suppress his cultivation at the level of perfect martial artist to deal with Fang Xu's attack, but gradually found that he, at the level of perfect martial artist, could not withstand the violent force of Fang Xu's sticks!

In Huang Qingzhou's eyes, the Nine Monkeys Stick was obviously a stick-based martial art that focused on being tricky and flexible. But why was it that when used by Fang Xu, every move carried such a headache-inducing force that made his sword-holding palm slightly numb!
"You are very powerful." Huang Qingzhou frowned and spoke while dodging.

Fang Xu didn't say anything.

It is certain that he is very strong. According to the panel, his added strength attribute has exceeded 500 points. With the bonus of additional attributes, his strength is definitely far beyond that of ordinary warriors.

After resisting Fang Xu's continuous attacks, Huang Qingzhou finally launched a counterattack.

Gradually releasing the strength of a beginner martial artist, he was very fast, the sword in his hand was like a ghost, catching Fang Xu off guard.

We must keep our distance!

After fighting for a while, Fang Xu knew that the advantage of stick techniques was that he couldn't let the enemy get close to him, otherwise, the long stick in his hand would instantly become a shackle.

After blocking Huang Qingzhou's sword with the stick, Fang Xu used the force to retreat two feet, then swung the stick in his hand suddenly, sweeping towards Huang Qingzhou like a spinning bamboo dragonfly!

Clang!
Clang!
……

Huang Qingzhou blocked with his sword, and bursts of dull sounds erupted in the field!

Seeing that he was still doing it with ease, Fang Xu immediately changed his moves! He grabbed one end of the long stick with his right hand, rotated his body 360 degrees, and used his own rotational force plus the strength of his waist to apply the long stick in his hand, and smashed it directly towards Huang Qingzhou!
The force of this stick was so terrifying that Huang Qingzhou didn't dare to block it head-on and could only dodge it!

boom!
The long stick hit the bluestone ground where Huang Qingzhou was originally standing hard, smashing the hard bluestone into pieces!
Fang Xu's body continued to spin, and he smashed towards Huang Qingzhou with one stick after another. The bluestone floor of the entire martial arts field suffered the consequences and was soon turned into a pile of rocks by Fang Xu!

"Stop! Stop!"

Huang Qingzhou flashed and hit Fang Xu's wrist with the hilt of his sword, knocking his long stick away and shouting.

The long stick flew out of his hand and nailed straight into a rock not far in front of him!

Huang Qingzhou turned his head to look at the long stick that had sunk two inches into the rock, looked at Fang Xu in surprise and said, "You are really a monster."

"With the cultivation of a martial artist at the fifth level, he has exerted the strength of a martial artist at the second or even third level."

"An enemy who underestimates you may be severely injured by your power in an instant."

Fang Xu chuckled and scratched his head.

This is actually not his full strength. At least if he uses the strange wooden stick given by Lu Zhiyuan in the secret acupoint storage, his strength can be increased a little more.

More importantly, compared to stick techniques, he still prefers fists and palms.

"But don't be too proud." Seeing Fang Xu laughing, Huang Qingzhou said calmly, "Your strange power can seriously injure or even kill a martial artist at the second level of martial arts by surprise."

"But if your first move fails and the enemy discovers your strength, a martial artist at the martial arts master level can easily use his speed and energy to wear you out to death."

"After all, after the divine bridge is opened, the hidden power of the two acupoints is connected, and the changes that occur are not as simple as you think."

After hearing this, Fang Xu solemnly bowed and said, "Brother, I will remember your teachings."

In order for a martial apprentice to break through to the level of a martial master, he needs to open the divine bridge between the acupoints, connect his own acupoints, and merge the power of the two acupoints into one.

This integration is by no means as simple as “1+1=2”.

After instructing Fang Xu, Huang Qingzhou pondered for a moment and said, "With your current strength, it won't be difficult to pass the test of the Ascension Meeting."

"I suggest that after you pass the assessment of the Ascension Association, you must think carefully and choose a master who is more suitable for you."

Hearing this, Fang Xu's mind moved, and he bowed to Huang Qingzhou and said, "Can we choose our own master for the Ascension Society?"

Huang Qingzhou nodded: "Those of you who pass the assessment will become outer disciples first."

"Outer sect disciples will be guided by the outer sect instructors in your daily practice. During this period, the instructors will arrange three tests based on your own strengths."

"This kind of assessment is called an extreme assessment. Every assessment is very difficult to complete given your own abilities."

"After three extreme tests, you can choose your own master."

"Of course, you have the right to choose your master, and the master naturally has the right to choose his apprentice. Generally, every master will set some assessment content for his apprentice. Only if you pass their assessment can you successfully become his disciple."

"At this time, you will become an inner disciple like me."

Huang Qingzhou told him in detail what happened after he joined the Shengxian Sect.

After hearing these words, Fang Xu couldn't help but feel a little desire for the Ascension Gate.

The deacons of the Ascension Society are enough to intimidate the Yun family, who are the masters of Huangzhou, and the royal family of the Yu Kingdom. What about the strength of the elders of the Ascension Society, the beings above the elders, and even the mysterious leader of the Ascension Society?
