Chapter 159 – Hand-eye Coordination
Jing Feng wasn’t too hard on Bi Fan, and only made him spend a total of four thousand spars.
Four thousand spars was nothing for Bi Fan, but for the other outer disciples, it was an astronomical number.
“Young Bi Fan is really very powerful; and not just in terms of strength, but he also has a lot of money. He is truly worthy of being called a genius.” Wang Yun Fei spoke up.
“That’s right, young Bi Fan, you’re truly amazing!”
“Well, don’t clap for me now; I really didn’t treat you guys for this reason.” Bi Fan smiled.
Subsequently, they strolled their way out of the Tao Bao complex.
Just as they stepped out of the Tao Bao complex, they ran into a large group of youngsters, and there was one man who seemed to know Bi Fan quite well: Xuan Liu Ge.
The two sides met each other right in front of Tao Bao complex, and immediately came to a standstill at the same time, but their eyes were constantly sizing each other up.
Xuan Liu Ge first sized up Yan Yu Si, and then started glaring sharply at Bi Fan; his eyes were as cold as ice.
“Bi Fan, boy, you were able to beat me today because I was very careless. But you won’t be this lucky in the future, and my friends in the Wu Ji Sect fraternity will avenge me later on in the tournament.”
“Yes, well, they are welcome to try at any time!” Bi Fan replied.
The Wu Ji Sect disciples were holding their head high out of sheer arrogance.
“The Quinyang Sect is rubbish, and they simply aren’t qualified enough to be standing next to us.”
“That’s right. Anyway, the Quinyang Sect is going to get replaced by the Ba Gua sect sooner or later, so we might as well not waste our time on these guys.”
“Get lost motherfucker!” Jing Feng cursed.
Jing Feng stepped forward, and started glaring at Xuan Liu Ge with a glint of a murderous spirit in his eyes.
Jing Feng had an outstanding reputation, and was far stronger than Xuan Liu Ge.
Xuan Liu Ge took a step back out of fear, since his confidence was beginning to shake in front of Jing Feng’s might.
Yan Yu Si intervened: “We’ll see in time. Strength isn’t decided by the words you utter, and everything will be become clear during the contest.”
Jing Feng still wasn’t ready to step away, and continued to stare at Xuan Liu Ge, with eyes as sharp as blades.
Xuan Liu Ge said: “Yes, all will be decided in the tournament, but you should start fearing the Wu Ji Sect.”
“Just wait and see! Anyway, your body language is clearly demonstrating your courage.” Jing Feng laughed lightly.
Then, Jing Feng and Yan Yu Si left along with the rest of the Quinyang Sect team. Xuan Liu Ge’s face exposed a color of malice as he stared at the backs of Jing Feng and the rest of his friends: “Jing Feng, Bi Fan, just wait, Brother Wu Ji Xuan will crucify you two.”
“Brother Wu Ji Xuan is too strong; Jing Feng and Bi Fan won’t be able to last a second against him.”
… …
Jing Feng said: “These Wu Ji Sect guys are so arrogant, I really want to teach them all a lesson, but the Jiu Yu City doesn’t permit us to resolve person feuds, otherwise….”
“Anyways, Brother Bi Fan has already defeated Xuan Liu Ge, so now we just have to worry about defeating Wu Ji Xuan.” Mo Nan stated.
“Yes…. but Wu Ji Xuan is too strong, and I’m still not sure if I can beat him.” Jing Feng said.
Yan Yu Si said: “The Wu Ji Sect’s Wu Ji Xuan and Xuan Yuan Po are considered once in millennia geniuses, and even though we’re quite good, there’s still a big gap. We must rely on constant practice if we wish to catch up to them someday.”
“Miss Yan Yu Si, you don’t worry, we will practice as hard as it takes, and we’ll catch up to Wu Ji Xuan soon enough.” Jing Feng said.
Mo Nan and Ji Ying Lan’s eyes were also firmly resolute, while Bi Fan’s eyes were burning with a fervent desire to beat Wu Ji Xuan.
“I must beat Wu Ji Xuan, I must!”
Bi Fan had already made up his mind some time ago, but his determination was only getting stronger with each passing day.
It was already late in the evening by the time they reached the hotel.
Luo Xiong’s party hadn’t returned yet, so Bi Fan and his friends quickly finished their dinner and returned to their rooms to get some rest.
As soon as Bi Fan returned to his room, he quickly started recalling the memories from today’s contest in order to embed them deeper into his mind, since he’d want to research them later.
Bi Fan was paying special attention to the Wu Ji Sect’s ‘Tai Chi Sword’ and ‘Yin Yang sword’, since Bi Fan regarded them as high grade martial skills.
Once he was done recalling the skills that he had seen today, Bi Fan started meditating in order to restore his body to its peak state.
Soon after, Bi Fan took out the two books that he had purchased today, and started reading them. The started with the ‘basic secrets to concealed weaponry’ first.
‘Basic secrets to concealed weaponry’ emphasized on enhancing the sharpness of vision, and the strength of hands. The book stated that hand-eye coordination is the key to achieving success with concealed weaponry skill sets.
After the Yin Yang lotus had taken residence in Bi Fan’s body, his vision had become almost ten times as sharp as an ordinary human’s.
As for the strength of his hands, Bi Fan’s hands and fingers had become awfully strong due to the practice of ‘The Immortal Finger’ attack.
However, Bi Fan didn’t know how to improve the coordination between his hands and his eyes, which seemed quite important since the book was stressing quite heavily upon it.
The ‘basic secrets to concealed weaponry’ also contained some elementary methods which would help in improving the hand-eye coordination.
Bi Fan didn’t want to practice these methods right now and only wished to know about them for future reference.
The book was quite thick, and contained a lot of tips, so it took Bi Fan over an hour to memorize its contents.
Subsequently, Bi Fan pulled out the ‘Spirit Illusion needle’ book, and discovered that this book had various methods which described the usage of needles as a form of concealed weaponry. The book also contained several ways to create illusions in order to mask a strike, and was as devious as a Devil’s method in terms of its usage.
“Illusions! Illusions!” Bi Fan’s eyes suddenly lit up.
An idea suddenly sprouted into Bi Fan’s mind; if he was somehow able to conceal ‘The Immortal Finger’ attack in the falsehoods and disguise of an illusion, then the attack would become awfully difficult to detect.
However, at this point, this was only a fantasy, and applying these methods in reality would take a lot of practice.
Bi Fan quickly memorized the methods, but didn’t practice any of them either.
At the moment, Bi Fan’s mind was completely focused on the Jiu Yu Hidden Dragon List, and it was vital for him to win the first prize in the contest.
Even if he started to study and research these new techniques, which were described in the ‘spirit illusion needle’ and the ‘basic secrets to concealed weaponry’ book, right now, he wouldn’t be able to successfully use them in such a short period of time, and they were quite unlikely to help in increasing his strength either.
Bi Fan decided to concentrate his attention on learning the skills of his opponents, and finding their flaws, since this approach was likely to dividends in the later part of the tournament.
The night passed quickly, and the sun dawned soon enough.
In today’s contest, Bi Fan was supposed to fight the man who had lost to Xuan Liu Ge, and as long as Bi Fan was able to defeat him, he’d qualify for the second round.
Everyone knew that today’s contest would be the most boring of all, which is why almost half of the seats were empty inside the arena today.
Ling Xin Ya said: “Today Wang Yun Fei, Mo Nan, Ji Ying Lan, Bi Fan and Jing Feng have an excellent chance to qualify for the next round, and I hope that you all make the best of it. If all five of you can qualify for the next round, then this will be the highest number of contests that the Quinyang Sect has ever been able to send to the second round of the Jiu Yu Hidden Dragon list.”
This contest’s rules are very cruel, and a participant has to win the first three fights in succession to get promoted to the second round.
Wang Yun Fei and Ji Ying Lan were quite lucky since neither of them had encountered any tough opponents so far, and had been able to win their first two fights with ease.
It must be mentioned that the Jiu Yu City has hundreds of Sects, which means that there are a large number of talented martial artists within the city’s reach, since even the smaller sects had some very powerful fighters in their ranks.
“You will not lose at any cost; the Quinyang Sect’s reputation depends on it.” Luo Xiao Tian expressed is opinion in a cold manner.
Luo Sheng’s pale face was enough to narrate the disappointed of his heart. Ji Ying Lan and Wang Yun Fei were both weaker than Luo Sheng in terms of strength, but had still managed to win their first two fights, unlike him. This, obviously, was a very shameful thing for Luo Sheng.
“Victory! Victory! Victory!”
Wang Yun Fei, Ji Ying Lan, Mo Nan, Jing Feng, and Bi Fan bumped their fists together.
The Quinyang Sect’s delegation marched into the final third of the first round in high spirits.
