The Villain's Counterattack

Chapter 515 Are you willing to worship me as your teacher?

Challenging Yang Xuyan was something Dugu Feng had wanted to do from a long time ago. Being invincible among people of the same age had always been her goal, and she had maintained an undefeated record among people of the same age in Luoyang City and Chang'an City over the past few years. However, a person of the same age appeared on a higher stage and achieved a record that not only she but also her father had never achieved.

What record?

He defeated nine generals with military chess deductions, and was undefeated in the battle against the Yijian master Fu Cailin in the Tiangang Big Dipper Sword Formation, and even gained the upper hand and injured him. This large formation composed of four masters and three half-step masters is said to have been created by him, and he is also one of the most critical links in it.

You have to know that he is a grandmaster. Dugu Feng only thinks about being able to fight with a grandmaster in his dreams. Normally, any grandmaster in normal condition can easily suppress him. If he really meets a grandmaster, he will probably be killed instantly.

Crossing one level of challenge is already a genius level existence, and crossing two major levels of challenge is almost impossible to succeed, and the biggest possibility is to be killed instantly.

Challenging stronger people at a higher level is precisely what is necessary to reach a higher level. This may be one of the reasons why there are endless strong people in wealthy families, while the grassroots class is more likely to have a lack of successors. After all, it is difficult for the grassroots class to find stronger people at a higher level to serve as sparring partners. If you are willing, you can still ask your grandmother for some advice by acting coquettishly to her.

The more powerful people you challenge, the more you will improve. This is common sense. Dugu Feng has already challenged all the masters in the clan and was suppressed once. This trip to Liaodong may be intended to broaden his horizons and accept training.

She never expected that she would achieve her goal on the first day, but the result of the challenge was somewhat unacceptable to her.

She, the legitimate daughter of the Dugu family, was not even as good as a finger of his.

Yes, she couldn't beat Yang Xuyan by just one finger. The word "couldn't beat" here didn't have any other meaning. It was probably because Yang Xuyan accepted her challenge, sat on the chair without moving, and defeated Dugu Feng simply by using just one finger.

What can one finger do?

Yang Xuyan will tell you that he can use the Finger Snapping Technique, One Yang Finger, Three-Handed Finger, and Mysterious Yin Finger. If he doesn't want to hit Dugu Feng too hard, he can even use the Six Meridians Divine Sword. Even so, he can defeat Dugu Feng in just ten moves, which really scared Dugu Feng and the guardian behind her.

The Finger Snapping Technique, also known as the Finger Snapping Sword Technique, is a superior martial art developed by Yang Xuyan based on the Huashan School's Iron Finger Technique and the Peach Blossom Island's Finger Snapping Magical Power, integrating the Shaolin One Finger Zen Technique and the Clear and Tranquil Finger. However, what truly determines the level of this martial art is Yang Xuyan's attainments in swordsmanship.

Dugu Feng's sword thrust forward at an incredible speed. Yang Xuyan could not help but nod slightly. He raised his hand slowly and flicked his finger. No matter how ever-changing Dugu Feng's sword moves were or how colorful the sword light was, they were eventually broken by this finger.

The long sword shook suddenly, and a powerful force came, making her almost unable to hold the sword in her hand. This was definitely a great humiliation for a swordsman. Dugu Feng raised the long sword and drew a small half circle to separate and dissolve the force. She never expected that three different forces would attack her in succession, forcing her to take three steps back before she could stand firm.

The long sword in his hand let out a mournful cry, and with just one move, he repelled Dugu Feng. However, this girl was a very competitive woman. She would not give up until she had truly experienced Yang Xuyan's methods. Without waiting for the numbness in her body to completely disappear, she turned around and slashed with the long sword again.

Yang Xuyan couldn't help but feel helpless, "You girl are too impulsive, calm down!" The Xuanyin Finger was activated, and a cold energy passed through the long sword and rushed straight to Dugu Feng, and then the Yiyang Finger and Canhe Finger were activated in succession, pushing her back five or six steps, and the last finger pressed her acupoints. It only took ten moves in total.

Dugu Feng attacked twice, and then retreated step by step. She struggled to resist seven fingers, and was finally hit by Yang Xuyan's finger in the air. Although the force was not strong and she broke through it in just a few breaths, she was already defeated. She couldn't help but look pale, and then she composed herself and greeted Yang Xuyan.

Yang Xuyan casually returned the greeting, carefully sizing Dugu Feng up before saying, "At such a young age, you possess the strength of a seasoned Xiantian master. Within three years, you'll reach Half-Step Grandmaster status, and within ten, you'll hopefully reach Grandmaster status. Not bad, not bad! Don't think it's shameful to be defeated by me in just ten moves. Although I've only just reached Grandmaster status, I possess the combat power of a seasoned Grandmaster. After all, I entered Xiantian at the age of eleven and achieved Half-Step Grandmaster status at twelve. My accumulation before reaching Grandmaster status was no less."

"The fact that you were able to withstand ten of my moves before being defeated is proof enough of your considerable strength." Yang Xuyan's words left Dugu Feng speechless. "So it'll take me three years to reach your twelve-year-old level?" Is that a compliment?

Is this showing off? Is this showing off?

"Are you willing to take me as your master?" Yang Xuyan's next words shocked Dugu Feng.

It is not that easy to become a disciple of a master. Dugu Feng really looks down on ordinary masters, but Yang Xuyan is different. His sharp and varied finger techniques, various rumors, and his eighteen-year-old age all show that he has unlimited potential.

But wasn't I here for a blind date (a formality and a chance to gain experience)? How did it suddenly become a matter of apprenticeship?

"Hehe, it's not easy to become my master. You must show strength that satisfies me." Dugu Feng was very dissatisfied. In his heart, he still did not remove this peer from the list of opponents and people he needed to surpass, and did not regard him as a predecessor.

"In that case, come with me to the martial arts training ground." Liaodong City is the capital of Liaodong County. The city lord's mansion is quite grand, and a martial arts training ground is indispensable. However, the martial arts level of Yang Xuyan, Yang Xuangan, Yang Ke, and Yang Gai cannot be improved by ordinary practice. Therefore, unless they are practicing new moves or competing in martial arts, they seldom come here.

Today was as empty and lonely as usual. Yang Xuyan walked while saying, "My master is incredibly talented and gifted. He can master any martial art he learns. He's been stuck at the Half-Step Grandmaster level for too long, and has learned a ton of different things. He's proficient in everything from internal energy and body movements to light skills, sword techniques, spear techniques, fist techniques, palm techniques, and finger techniques."

"Hehe" Dugu Feng had a look of disdain on his face, but his heart was as turbulent as waves. He had indeed never heard of his proficiency in finger techniques before. He only knew that he was extremely intelligent, had extraordinary swordsmanship, and was proficient in battle formations. He never thought that he actually had so many treasures hidden on him. He must dig deeper.

When they arrived at the center of the martial arts training ground, Yang Xuyan put his hands behind his back and gave her an inviting look, which made Dugu Feng's mouth twitch and her eyebrows jump. "How much do you look down on me? You used one finger before, but now you just put your hands behind your back." Dugu Feng was furious and swung the sword in her hand.

Yang Xuyan dodged easily with the Lingbo Weibu technique, pointing out the slight flaws in her attack choices while dodging, which made Dugu Feng happy and angry. However, no matter how hard she tried, she could not hurt him at all. It was not until she finished a whole set of Biluo Hongchen swordsmanship and the moves began to repeat that he pointed his finger at her forehead, ending the first match.

No, this is no longer a competition, but a naked teasing.

"You are a swordsman, and you are quite talented in swordsmanship. Just now, I saw that your swordsmanship is not bad. Even among the swordsmanship I have learned, you are qualified to be ranked in the top ten." When Yang Xuyan said this, Dugu Feng rolled her eyes and laughed, but she didn't believe it at all. She believed that Yang Xuyan had superior swordsmanship, but she absolutely didn't believe that the Dugu family's direct descendant Biluo Hongchen swordsmanship could only be ranked in the top ten.

"Master possesses three highest-level sword techniques. One is the Dugu Nine Swords, created by the Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai. This peerless sword technique, which defeats all forms of martial arts with its lack of movement, is divided into the Final Formation, the Sword Breaking Formation, the Knife Breaking Formation, the Spear Breaking Formation, the Whip Breaking Formation, the Rope Breaking Formation, the Palm Breaking Formation, the Arrow Breaking Formation, and the Qi Breaking Formation. The key lies in 'understanding,' not rote memorization. Once you have mastered the meaning of these nine sword techniques, you will be able to perform any move, produce any technique, and penetrate any area. This sword technique shares similarities with the Yi Sword Technique, and its level of achievement is comparable."

Yang Xuyan's words shocked Dugu Feng. She suddenly asked, "I wonder if that Senior Dugu Qiubai is an ancestor of my Dugu clan? Why have I never heard of this name?"

"No, I just made up this name. It just sounds domineering." Yang Xuyan's casual remark almost made Dugu Feng explode with anger.

"Isn't it inappropriate to call this peerless swordsmanship, comparable to the Yi sword technique, the Dugu Nine Swords? How about changing it to the Yang Nine Swords?"

"No, I think this invincible sword technique should be called Dugu Nine Swords, and its founder can only be Senior Dugu Qiubai, provided that this sword technique is truly as invincible as the Marquis of Liaodong said."

"Then why don't you try to see if the Dugu Nine Swords is as powerful as I said."
