"Thank you, Elder Crow!"
At that moment, Qin Fang's gratitude towards Elder Crow could not be described with words. Without any hesitation, he knelt down and kowtowed three times.
Qin Fang could be considered a martial artist now, so he knew what Elder Crow's selfless help meant. However, he really did not have anything that could perfectly express his feelings at that moment.
It was impossible for him to become Elder Crow's disciple, so these three kowtows were very solemn. The other three old men also nodded silently. At the very least, Qin Fang's master, Cai Pingyuan, was quite happy for his sensible disciple.
This was Qin Fang's way of expressing his gratitude, but from another perspective, it also explained his determination to refuse to join another master.
Elder Crow also nodded happily, but he did not say anything. Or rather, he no longer had the strength to speak. After all, his body had not recovered yet, and he had said too much just now.
Qin Fang retreated from the elders and was immediately pulled back by Tian Youzhi and Ma Yu. The two of them were like curious babies, almost treating Qin Fang as Superman who wore red underwear on the outside.
"Junior Brother Qin, you're really … really … really amazing!"
Tian Youzhi was really excited. Back then, he had confidently fought with Su Yang, but the result was extremely tragic. He lost so badly that his face turned green. In the future, when he met Su Yang again, he always felt embarrassed. Even though it was his home ground, he still seemed a little weak.
On the other hand, what about Qin Fang?
In terms of strength, he was not as good as Su Yang, even Tian Youzhi was slightly weaker than him. However, in the end, Su Yang was forced to a draw by Qin Fang. In fact, at the beginning, Su Yang's butt landing on the sand made Su Yang lose face.
In this regard, he could not compare to Qin Fang.
Tian Youzhi was a rather open-minded person. He was obviously much more open-minded than Su Yang, so he quickly accepted the situation and was happy to have a friend like Su Yang.
Ma Yu's face was filled with joy, but at the same time, he was a little depressed. Qin Fang was a little puzzled. Ma Yu had nothing to do with this, so why was he depressed when Qin Fang won in the end?
Tian Youzhi, on the other hand, explained to Ma Yu that when Ma Yu was regretting Su Yang's action, he was so focused on watching the show that he forgot to record such an important scene.
Regarding this, Qin Fang only smiled faintly. It was not appropriate for him to make any comments. Perhaps he did not think highly of Su Yang previously, but now, he quite admired Su Yang. At the very least, Su Yang's change at that moment made Qin Fang feel a faint threat.
It wasn't the threat of a mortal enemy, but a challenge!
It had to be said that Qin Fang liked this kind of challenge very much. Only this kind of challenge pressure was the best motivation for him to improve.
"I really couldn't tell at all …"
Compared to Tian Youzhi and Ma Yu's excitement, Rosie and Cai Qing, who had just arrived, only saw the scene of Qin Fang and Su Yang using their ultimate skills to defeat their opponents. Almost at that moment, the two of them could not help but feel their hearts skip a beat.
However, such a change was only understood by them as an instinctive reaction of two martial artists. It was like watching those thrilling and suspenseful movies that would unnaturally bring oneself into the situation.
"It's just luck …"
Qin Fang smiled and said humbly.
He was indeed lucky to be able to draw with Su Yang, who was much stronger than him. Su Yang's mistakes were caught by Qin Fang time and time again, resulting in such an outcome.
If the two of them were to fight again, Qin Fang would definitely be beaten up by Su Yang so badly that even his mother would not be able to recognize him.
"Don't be so humble. Su Yang is one of the strongest Tiannan's Four Prodigies in the South Martial Arts Circle. There are only a handful of experts of the same age who can survive a hundred moves from him without being defeated. Yet, you're obviously weaker than him and you're on par with him. Tsk tsk … Are you trying to praise yourself or belittle the rest of us?"
After a few days of interaction, the two of them no longer felt as unfamiliar as before and spoke much more casually. Seeing how humble Qin Fang was, Rosie could not help but tease him.
"Stop praising me. If you continue, I'll be praised to the heavens …"
Qin Fang smiled and was not in the mood to continue arguing with them. Instead, he returned to his room to rest. However, when he passed by Cai Qing, who did not say a word, he vaguely noticed that there was something wrong with her gaze and expression.
However, Qin Fang was not in the mood to dwell on it. He had just received Elder Crow's careful guidance and fixed all the flaws in the Tiger Head Rush. Although it might not have reached its perfect state, it was obviously much better than before. He wanted to take the opportunity to go back and familiarize himself with it.
All the skills had been corrected, so when Qin Fang practiced again, he would practice according to the new skills. He didn't need to adapt to the new skills like the others. He could practice it normally and it was relatively easier for him to master it.
However, when Qin Fang calmed down and recalled what had happened that day, especially the entire process of him and Su Yang's fierce battle, Qin Fang went through every move, every move, and every style in his mind. At the same time, he was also analyzing the moves that they used every time they exchanged blows.
It was not enough to rely on hard work in martial arts. Countering each move was the most fundamental. As long as he could restrain his opponent's moves, even if it was just a flash of inspiration, it would be a very good move.
On the contrary, if he did not defeat his opponent, no matter how powerful his ultimate move or trick was, it would be useless.
Therefore, Qin Fang carefully summarized his gains and losses after the battle. He learned from his opponent's strengths and made up for his shortcomings. Only then could he truly improve himself. At the same time, it was not without the intention of knowing himself and his opponent.
"Su Yang seemed to have something to ask me at the beginning …"
However, when Qin Fang thought about it, he suddenly realized that he had neglected a problem.
From the moment Su Yang first met Qin Fang, he had already shown some hostility. At that time, Qin Fang only thought that it was because he was more favored by the old masters. Now that he thought about it, that did not seem to be the case.
The first time Qin Fang and Su Yang had a conversation, Su Yang had also taken the initiative to look for him. His tone at that time was indeed quite unpleasant, but he seemed to have looked for Qin Fang directly.
However, Qin Fang had neglected these details. Coupled with the fact that he did not have a good impression of Su Yang, his words seemed a little too extreme. Then, the two of them started to fight.
After that, Su Yang left the Wu family and returned to his sect to train hard, preparing to challenge him again in a year's time.
"Forget it, why am I thinking so much? If there's really something important, Su Yang would have said something …"
Qin Fang, who was open-minded by nature, could not be bothered to think about these things that he could not figure out. Instead, he focused on cultivating his martial arts.
…
With Chen Liang's death, Old Master Wu's injuries gradually stabilized. The matter with the Wu family came to an end. Furthermore, after a few days of delay, the time for the martial arts conference was getting closer and closer.
The old masters were old friends who had gathered for many years, so naturally, they could not help but drink to their hearts' content. Therefore, more than half of the cellar wine that Qin Fang had brought over was quickly consumed. Qin Fang also drank a few glasses because the wine was indeed quite good.
Just like that, the time passed by quickly. The day of the martial arts conference was about to arrive.
"Let's go …"
Following Cai Pingyuan's order, Qin Fang's Audi Q7 once again carried Cai Pingyuan and his granddaughter on the road. They set off towards Xishu Province, where the martial arts assembly would be held. Accompanying them was the Bajiquan grandmaster, Elder Niu.
Driving in front of Qin Fang's Audi Q7 were a few cars from the Wu family. As the representatives of the Wu Family Fist, they were also going to participate in the martial arts conference this time.
Old Master Wu's injuries had not yet recovered, so Elder Ma stayed to continue treating him. As the head of the Wu family, it was not suitable for Wu Ming to leave. Therefore, the leader of the Wu family was the second son of the Wu family, Wu Hai. Tian Youzhi, Luo Xi, and a few other juniors that Qin Fang could not name also followed along.
The martial arts conference this time was held in Jiange, which was located in the northern part of Xishu Province. This was a rather famous small town in the country. Back then, the Sword Immortal Li Bai's "The Difficult Way of Shu" was talking about such a small town.
However, although Jiange was small, its position in the Southern Wulin was not weak. It had a rather long history. In such a long time, it had given birth to many famous swordsmen.
Among them, the Sword Immortal Li Bai was one of the most famous. Although he was known as the Immortal of Poetry, in the martial arts world, more people recognized his title as the Sword Immortal. It was said that this seemingly weak scholar had the cultivation of swordsmanship that was not inferior to that of a grandmaster.
If it were not for the chaos of that time, plus the fact that he cared about the world and wanted to retire, which led to his miserable ending, he might have already been the founder of a certain school of swordsmanship.
This had little to do with Qin Fang. Swordsmanship might be considered a very powerful skill in ancient times, but in today's era where firearms were rampant, a mere long sword, no matter how perfect it was, could not block the enemy's machine gun.
Moreover, it was not convenient to carry a long sword. Unedged swords were at most used by old men and women to exercise their bodies, while edged swords were restricted weapons. If you went out with it, you would definitely be arrested by the police.
Wu Hai had also participated in several Martial Arts Society Conventions. Although the venue would change every time, Sword Pavilion was not unfamiliar to him. He was a martial arts maniac, so he often went to Sword Pavilion to look for people to fight. Therefore, Qin Fang did not have to worry much when Wu Hai was leading the way. The group of vehicles set off for the destination in a mighty manner.
