Du Fei took a deep breath, put down the scroll in his hand, and slightly bowed, saying, "I am Du Fei, and I haven't had the pleasure of your name yet..."
"Du Qian."
The girl spoke calmly, her eyes still fixed on the scroll in front of her.
Du Qian?
Du Fei searched his mind for a moment. This name seemed somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite place who it was.
Shaking his head slightly, Du Fei instantly dismissed the thought. At this moment, he didn't need to worry about such things.
"If you're interested, feel free to take a look. After all, these things aren't mine."
Seeing Du Fei's thoughtful expression, the girl looked up at him and said casually.
Hearing this, Du Fei nodded and this time, without any hesitation, grabbed the other scrolls and began to examine them carefully.
"Grade 8 Martial Technique, Great Sorrow Hand..."
"Grade 8 Martial Technique, Nine Revolutions Yin Wind Step..."
"Grade 8 Martial Technique, Linked Cloud Divine Technique..."
"..."
His gaze swept over the scrolls, and Du Fei felt a bit uncertain.
Each of these martial techniques seemed difficult to master, and they all appeared to be quite powerful. It was hard to choose...
"From your appearance, it seems you haven't practiced any martial techniques yet, right?" The girl slowly handed the scroll to Du Fei and said calmly.
"Um... hehe..." Du Fei subconsciously took the scroll, feeling a bit awkward.
Seeming to sigh, Du Qian then casually pulled out a scroll and handed it to Du Fei, saying, "You don't need to choose. If you haven't practiced any martial techniques and don't have a good teacher, you won't be able to master something too difficult. Just take this one. I think it shouldn't be too hard to practice."
"Thank you!" Du Fei didn't hesitate, grabbing the scroll and quickly flipping it open.
"Break the Void Flash, Grade 8 Martial Technique, a martial technique suitable for both close and long-range combat. Renowned for its swift movements and formidable destructive power. When perfected, each flash combines hardness and softness, with extraordinary power. Eight flashes together have a mysterious and unpredictable effect. This martial technique is considered one of the best among Grade 8 techniques, even comparable to some Grade 7 techniques!"
"Break the Void Flash, cultivation method..."
After reading the cultivation method for a while, Du Fei couldn't help but feel delighted. Although he didn't know if Du Qian had chosen it deliberately, the Break the Void Flash seemed to fit his personality and complement the Soft Fist technique. It shouldn't be too difficult for him to practice.
"System, can you record this?"
"Beep... Command accepted, data recording... Recording complete, ready for reading at any time!"
Hearing the cold yet friendly electronic voice, Du Fei smiled, rolled up the scroll, and placed it back in front of Du Qian, saying softly, "Thank you, Du Qian."
Seeing Du Fei's decisive manner, Du Qian seemed surprised. After a moment, she looked at him with a strange expression and said softly, "Did you remember the cultivation method?"
"Hehe, I think I did."
Hearing this, Du Qian was taken aback again and shook her head after a moment.
Seeing this, Du Fei didn't say much, just politely bowed and then slowly turned to leave. Time was short, and cultivation was urgent!
"Wait! You're Du Fei, right? Are you going to participate in the clan competition in half a month?"
Du Fei was slightly stunned and then turned back with a smile, "Of course!"
"In that case, start practicing these two techniques. A Grade 8 martial technique isn't something you can master in half a month!"
With that, the girl flicked her wrist, and two more scrolls flew out.
Du Fei caught them and opened one: "Grade 9 Martial Technique..."
In the early morning, the mist still enveloped the waterfall at the back of the mountain. Occasionally, a strong wind would blow through, tearing apart the mist, and a faint figure would appear below the waterfall.
"That little girl, though I don't know her background, the techniques she chose are indeed good..."
A low murmur sounded, and then the figure's foot stomped the ground, and his body shot forward. With a swift movement, a punch landed on a large rock.
"Poof..."
The rock remained still, but after a moment, a ripple appeared on the other side, and a clear fist imprint appeared on the rock.
"This Reverse Punch, though a Grade 9 martial technique, is indeed very strange. When used with true qi, the power of this punch at least doubles. Combined with the Lin Yun Step I've already mastered, my striking power has at least doubled compared to using the Soft Fist alone. This way, I might be able to match Du Qing!"
With less than ten days until the clan competition, Du Fei, with the help of the system, had already mastered two Grade 9 martial techniques: the Reverse Punch and the Lin Yun Step.
The Reverse Punch, a Grade 9 martial technique, is characterized by its reverse force when punching out and its strange force when pulling back, making it unpredictable despite its ordinary attack power.
The Lin Yun Step, a Grade 9 martial technique, is characterized by its swift and powerful leg movements, requiring at least the seventh level of body tempering to practice.
These two excellent martial techniques had a common advantage: they had no fixed patterns and no complicated cultivation methods. Once the true qi circulation was understood, they were not difficult to master.
For Du Fei, who had the system's assistance, it was like having the best teacher.
These two martial techniques were recorded in the system's database, and when he read them again, the same dark space appeared in his mind, greatly increasing his cultivation speed.
However, even with this, Du Fei knew that mastering two Grade 9 martial techniques wouldn't be enough to match Du Qing, who would likely have mastered a Grade 8 or even a Grade 7 martial technique.
To defeat him decisively, he must also master the Break the Void Flash!
Taking a deep breath, Du Fei knew he didn't have much time to waste. After a brief rest, he ordered in his mind, "Start reading the data for the Break the Void Flash!"
"Beep! Command accepted, data loading, start reading..."
As the cold electronic voice sounded, a huge dark space suddenly appeared in Du Fei's mind.
Feeling this space, which was much larger than before, the other "Du Fei" in the space also frowned but didn't say much, focusing on the front.
As time passed, a figure like a bolt of lightning suddenly shot out from the corner, leaving a trail of afterimages in the air.
The afterimage paused slightly, allowing Du Fei to see that a translucent figure with a green aura slowly flowing within it.
Du Fei knew that the flow of this aura was the true qi circulation method for the Break the Void Flash. He quickly memorized it.
Then he focused on the Break the Void Flash itself.
The Break the Void Flash was completely different from the two martial techniques Du Fei had practiced before. The Break the Void Flash emphasizes direct and powerful attacks, striking the enemy head-on. If a strike misses, it instantly retreats far away. This free and fierce technique is the essence of the Break the Void Flash.
Moreover, the cultivation method of the Break the Void Flash states that although it has no fixed patterns, as one's cultivation deepens, the speed becomes so great that it can create afterimages, making it impossible for the opponent to see clearly.
The Break the Void Flash is divided into eight flashes. When mastered to the extreme, the body can transform into eight afterimages in an instant, making it impossible for the opponent to determine the attack point.
Of course, Du Fei, just starting to practice, could only manage one flash. The so-called eight flashes were not something that could be mastered in a few days.
"Whoosh..."
A lightning-like afterimage flashed in front of the waterfall, and after a moment, it split into two, both landing on a large rock simultaneously.
"Boom..."
The rock shook violently but didn't shatter. However, a hole appeared where it was hit, and a pile of dust drifted away in the wind... "The second flash of the Break the Void Flash is complete!" Du Fei wiped the sweat from his forehead and twisted his neck.
There was only one day left until the clan competition. The next morning, the annual grand event of the Du family would begin!
A flash of determination appeared in Du Fei's eyes. Finally, the time had come... "Du Qing! I still have the same words! You want to cripple me! I will definitely cripple you tomorrow!"
On the other side of the Du family, there was a luxurious courtyard. Servants in sexy white dresses moved about, and the courtyard was filled with the sounds of birds and the fragrance of flowers, all extremely luxurious. Even in the Du family, few could afford such extravagance.
Suddenly, a rumble of thunder echoed in the sky, followed by a heavy downpour.
The white-clad servants were startled and hurriedly took shelter under the veranda, filling the air with a fragrant mist, creating a scene of earthly paradise.
In the center of the courtyard was an elegant octagonal pavilion. Two men in white sat facing each other in the pavilion.
At that moment, both men's gazes slowly fell on the servants around them, their eyes filled with lust.
After a moment, the man on the left licked his lips and said softly, "Cousin, the clan competition is tomorrow."
The man who spoke had a lecherous look, and it was none other than Du Jie.
The man sitting opposite him was none other than Du Qing.
Hearing this, Du Qing chuckled, his expression cold and lonely, "I can't believe three months have passed so quickly. I wonder how far Du Fei has progressed... I hope he gives me something to look forward to in tomorrow's competition! I can't swallow this anger unless I kill him with my own hands!"
"Of course," Du Jie said lecherously, "As long as you succeed, little Ai... hahaha..."
"Slap..."
Before Du Jie could finish laughing, a dark shadow appeared before him, and a large slap sent him flying into the rain. His face swelled like a pig's head, and he looked up at Du Qing in confusion.
Du Qing, as if he hadn't seen it, just smiled coldly and muttered to himself, "Anyone who competes with me, Du Qing, will die!"
Hearing this, Du Jie shivered. He hesitated for a moment, then began to slap his own face... "Slap slap slap slap..."
"Ha ha ha ha... Ha ha ha ha..."
