C168 Perfect-retentive Memory

All of a sudden, everything quieted down. Duan Tianya knew that this expert in front of him was on par with the Left-hand Sword. At this moment, he was deep in thought. How many experts were still in this world? How many experts had his master defeated before he became sensible?

Thinking of this, Duan Tianya raised his long sword high up into the air and slashed down with his sword. Xuan Zhengchen hurriedly parried the attack, but he didn't expect the power of this strike to be so powerful that it shook the sword in his hand. He couldn't help but exclaim, "What a sharp sword!"

Then Duan Tianya swept his sword across the air. Xuan Zhengchen moved back and dodged the attack. After that, he kicked the ground with the tip of his foot and stabbed forward. Duan Tianya swung his sword and knocked on the ground. He didn't know that Xuan Zhengchen still had another attack.

Xuan Zhengchen turned around and swung his sword on the left and on the right. After Duan Tianya blocked the three sword attacks, he didn't expect Xuan Zhengchen to jump behind him and swing his sword in the air.

Looking at the sword mark on his back, Duan Tianya smiled and said, "That was close. Luckily, I dodged it in time. Otherwise, I would have been injured in the back!"

Xuan Zhengchen turned around and looked at Duan Tianya from head to toe. After a while, he said, "I didn't expect this sword attack to not hurt you!"

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "I told you that you can't use just these few moves. Before you retired, you used nine moves. After ten years of retirement, you wouldn't only be able to practice one move. "

Xuan Zhengchen asked in shock, "You knew that I still have one more move. You purposely lured me to use this move. "

Duan Tianya said, "This is only a guess. I didn't expect that I would be right. "

Xuan Zhengchen's face changed. He fell to the ground with a 'plop'. Blood flowed out of his clothes from his back. Xuan Peng saw this and quickly went forward to help him up. He asked with concern, "Second Uncle, are you alright?"

Xuan Zhengchen smiled bitterly and said, "You are right. He is indeed a rare expert. I thought I would use this to hurt him, but I didn't expect to be caught instead. " Then, he turned around. With a twisted expression, he said, "After being in seclusion for such a long time, I didn't expect that I would actually be defeated by a young man. Can you tell me your name?"

Duan Tianya cupped his fist and said, "Duan Tianya!"

"Duan Tianya? Is it the young man who served Chang Shi Ling earlier?"

Duan Tianya nodded and said, "Yes!"

Xuan Zhengchen smiled bitterly and said, "With your sword skills, Chang Shi Ling is no match for you, but you are willing to hide your name. It is really puzzling. "

Duan Tianya said, "Everyone has their own path, and I am no exception. "

Xuan Zhengchen smiled slightly, then fell to the ground and fainted.

That night, Xuan Zhengchen woke up. He looked at Xuan Peng and Duan Tianya, who were guarding him. When he moved a little, his whole body was in pain.

Xuan Zhengchen mocked himself. "This sword cut so deep!"

Duan Tianya said, "But I made a new set of clothes. "

Xuan Zhengchen said in a low voice, "I once dreamed that I could be defeated by Hu Liang's sword and Duan Junhou's sword. Or Dugu Nan's sword, but when I really face him, I hesitated. It wasn't because I was afraid of death, but because I was worried that I might be defeated. Is my Nine Tribulations Sword Arts going to be lost in the future?"

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "Isn't there still Xuan Peng?"

Xuan Zhengchen said, "Xuan Peng's aptitude is not enough to unleash the power of the Nine Tribulations Sword Arts to the extreme. Every move needs to be diligently studied and trained. He cannot endure this boring process. "

Duan Tianya was puzzled and said, "Then won't your sword technique be lost?"

Xuan Zhengchen said with a smile. "I believe you have learned the Nine Tribulations Sword Arts, right?"

Duan Tianya was stunned at first. "Yes, I have seen all the moves clearly. "

Xuan Peng was very puzzled. He didn't understand what his second uncle meant. It was just a competition, yet he was so sure that he had learned the Nine Tribulations Sword Arts. Wasn't that too arbitrary?

Xuan Zhengchen looked at Xuan Peng and said with a smile: "Just now, I've been thinking about why his sword technique is already higher than the Time Order and why he still has to stay by his side. The only explanation is that I want to know his sword technique. "

Duan Tianya said, "Not exactly!"

Xuan Zhengchen said. "Of course I know. This is just a ladder. If my guess is correct, Duan should have photographic memory, right?"

Duan Tianya said, "Senior, you have good eyesight!"

Xuan Zhengchen endured the pain and said. "Otherwise, you wouldn't have waited for me to finish my last attack before you defeated me. "

Duan Tianya didn't deny it. He knew that his photographic memory had been recognized by others. Duan Tianya indeed had photographic memory. Not only did he have photographic memory for things, but he could also remember the moves he had read. As long as he trained diligently in time, he would be no different from the person who had read it.

Of course, Ghost Sword, Hu Liang knew that he had this ability. When he was memorizing things, he had been running around with him. When he fought with others, he would always let them watch from the side. Very few people would take this child to heart.

It was just that his appearance and appearance were not perfect. Only hard work and hard training was the way to go. Duan Tianya's foundation was very good. When he was memorizing things, he swung his sword thousands of times every day. He could not even hold his chopsticks steadily. The wood he cut every month was enough for more than a dozen households to burn for a few months. He practiced for a total of five years, day after day, year after year.

Five years later, he began to study his moves carefully, gathering the strengths of hundreds of different styles. Because of his good foundation, his sword skills advanced by leaps and bounds.

Ghost Sword, Hu Liang was not only the world's number one swordsman, but also the world's number one master. He was worried that because he practiced martial arts, he would become a martial artist who did not understand the world. Whenever Hu Liang had time, he would bring Duan Tianya to travel around the world, feeling the local customs, and the image of a marketplace.

After following Wen Hong and the others for the past few years, Duan Tianya had also learned a lot about mutual deception and deception in the martial arts world. Therefore, the reason why Duan Tianya was able to have such a day was closely related to Hu Liang's nurturing.

After walking out of the house, Xuan Peng stopped Duan Tianya and said: "Second Uncle wants to thank you!"

"Thank me?"

Xuan Peng nodded and said: "Second Uncle said he wanted to thank you for showing mercy. "

Duan Tianya didn't say anything. He walked out of the mansion and rode his horse away. When he returned to the inn, he found a few bulging bags on the table. They must be the gold and silver sent by Xuan Zhengchen.

Duan Tianya opened the bags one by one and separated the gold and silver. After thinking for a while, he realized that he had done all kinds of things. Followers, masked men, darts, and so on. However, he had never made a big deal of himself.

When he thought of this, he went outside and first hired a carriage from Gao Yuan. Then, he found more than twenty followers. The gongs and drums in front of him cleared the path, and the maids followed behind him. After a while, he found that he still had a lot of money left.

Thinking about it carefully, he had to be given a resounding title. After thinking about it for a while, it was still the name of 'Young Master Qilin' that was loud and clear. As for why he had such a name, it was very simple. There were dragons and phoenixes who occupied it, and the remaining Black Tortoise was not that good of a name, so even though the name 'Young Qilin Lord' sounded a bit old-fashioned, it was still acceptable.
