Chapter 8 Who Opposes?
"How do you know martial arts? How should you know martial arts!"
A subconscious sense of panic arose within him, because if the rightful heir knew martial arts, then no one else would have a chance.
The reason they had these ideas was simply because the heir was physically weak and had no martial arts skills.
But then Shen Cong saw his son quietly walking forward, and his heart calmed down immediately.
"So what if you know martial arts? My son, Kong Yu, has the potential to become a grandmaster!"
You said you were going to compete, so there's no going back on your word!
Son, hit him!
"Brother!" Chong Shenche bowed slightly, his manners impeccable.
The two didn't talk much on a daily basis, but they knew that this cousin was either practicing martial arts or on his way to practice martial arts every day.
In the eyes of parents, he is an absolutely good child.
Moreover, Shen Kongyu's appearance immediately caught everyone's attention.
Shen Kongyu is fifteen years old this year, a few months younger than him, but he already has sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and his handsome appearance is accentuated by his tight-fitting clothes, which make his figure stand tall and straight like a pine tree.
That's right, that's how a young hero should be.
"Brother, please forgive me!" Shen Kongyu stepped forward with his sword and bowed slightly again.
"But brother, rest assured, regardless of victory or defeat today, I will not fight for this position!"
"Yu'er, shut up!"
"Father!" Shen Kongyu looked at her father with a calm gaze and said firmly, "What I yearn for is martial arts, not power. The position of the manor lord is useless to me."
"I also hope that my father will remember his promise to me: as long as I take action today, he will no longer interfere with my decisions from now on."
"You, you're driving me crazy!"
"Brother, please forgive me!" Ignoring his father's furious outburst, Shen Kongyu drew his sword. The sword light was like water, as if the Milky Way had been poured down.
Upon seeing this, many people's eyes lit up once again.
However, this seemingly swift sword strike did not touch Shen Che on the other side, nor even scratch his clothes.
He frowned slightly. Although he had held back most of his strength and deliberately avoided vital points, he shouldn't have been able to touch him at all.
I thought it was just a formality, and that I was only here to fulfill a promise I made to my father.
But this cousin of mine seems to be quite different from the rumors.
The next moment, Shen Kongyu did not hesitate and drew his sword again.
The sword light flowed like a babbling brook, yet it gave people a sense of fragmentation and confusion. It was also like a raging flood, full of ruthlessness, and instantly became several points stronger than before.
Despite such brilliant swordsmanship, he still couldn't touch Shen Che at all, just like before.
With a flicker of his figure, all the moves were easily dodged, and the lightning-fast swordsmanship seemed to be completely ignored.
This doesn't seem like a duel; it's more like giving pointers.
This scene was a huge shock to everyone. It was one thing for the young master to know martial arts, but no one expected him to be this strong.
Could it be that he can overpower Shen Kongyu, the undisputed number one among the younger generation?
The sword light continued to flash, and Shen Kongyu gradually used all her strength. The dazzling light was filled with killing intent, almost engulfing Shen Che opposite her.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he always seemed to fall just short.
Fortunately, although he never achieved any great feats, his swordsmanship remained steady, and he was never hasty or impatient.
However, it doesn't seem to be of much use.
"The Sorrowful Water Sword Technique, indeed a fine sword technique!"
"But it's too slow, cousin. Your sword isn't fast enough, and your swordsmanship is lacking!"
Taking two steps back, Shen Che stopped dodging.
The next moment, he drew the soft sword from his waist, and an even more dazzling sword light appeared.
The sword light flashed, fast as thunder, carrying an indomitable momentum, and shattered the incoming sword light in an instant.
The sword intent surged like a tidal wave, its strange and extraordinary nature almost overwhelming, causing everyone's heart to tremble.
Wait a minute, sword intent?
How could that be? Wasn't it said that this young master of the manor was weak since childhood and unable to cultivate?
It's not that he's clumsy at sword practice, that he can't learn a single sword technique even in ten days or half a month.
Why is this? Very few of us here can master this skill.
"Is this sword intent?" The two elders' eyes widened suddenly. For so many years, no one in Hidden Sword Manor had comprehended sword intent at this age.
"Such a fast sword, such a steady hand!"
The next moment, Shen Kongyu's sword was easily shattered, melting away like snow in boiling water.
Shen Che sheathed his sword and patted the other man on the shoulder. At least he hadn't sensed any killing intent or hostility from his cousin.
I don't know how my second uncle, that dissolute scoundrel, could have fathered such a son. It's truly a case of a good bamboo shoot emerging from a bad bamboo.
"I lost!" Staring blankly at the sword in his hand, he had lost. His father often said that he was the number one among the younger generation, and he firmly believed that he was too.
But at this moment, he actually lost, lost completely.
"Brother, I've lost, and I accept it wholeheartedly!"
In just a short while, Shen Kongyu emerged from the gloom of defeat.
There was not a trace of dejection in his eyes; on the contrary, when he looked at Shen Che, he seemed eager to try.
"I hope to have the opportunity to learn from you again in the future!"
His eyes held no other meaning than a pure pursuit and yearning for swordsmanship.
Shen Che had seen a similar look before; it was the look of someone who was sincere about something.
"Okay, I'll be waiting."
Hey bro, you still need to practice. Do you even know what the difference is between us?
You can still barely see my back now, but after some time, when you look at me again, you will see me as if I were looking up at the blue sky.
"You won?" Seeing Shen Che win so easily, Shen Tong was almost in disbelief. Was this still his young master who couldn't even kill a chicken?
The next moment, a powerful aura erupted from Shen Tong, revealing the demeanor of a grandmaster.
Young Master has already won, let's see who dares to cause trouble.
"Young Master has won. The position of Master of the Manor will be inherited by Young Master. Who objects?"
Oppose? Who dares to object?
At this point, the two elders could no longer hold back and arrived in front of Shen Che in the blink of an eye.
With just a little touching, they had already gotten a general idea of his condition.
A surge of joy instantly welled up in my heart, sweeping away all the gloom from before.
"Half-step into the Innate Realm? A natural sword vein!"
"Good, good, my Hidden Sword Manor finally has a worthy successor!"
"Innate? Sword vein? So, he wasn't even using his full strength just now?"
For a moment, everyone's mind was buzzing. They knew these words, but how were they put together?
The old manor owner usually told others that his son was physically weak, had extremely poor comprehension, and was clumsy.
You call this frail and weak? You call this clumsy and awkward?
The old manor lord is hiding something deep; isn't he trying to ruin them?
What's the point of all that jumping around these past few days? Are they trying to get noticed so they can be held accountable later?
Oh no, I'm really going to get my comeuppance now.
