My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!

Chapter 239: The Mastermind Behind Su Qing



Martial Artists' bodies truly stand apart.

In order to improve the Yuqing Heart Technique, Li Nuo stayed up all night yesterday, and to this day he hasn't felt a trace of sleepiness, still feeling full of energy.

Lady Mother-in-law said that the meridian map should be taken to the Sanqing Sect after the competition of the Ten Great Grandmasters concludes, to be reviewed by the three Sect Leaders.

Li Nuo held absolute confidence in his results.

What seemed to be his individual achievement was actually the crystallization of the wisdom of the entire Daxia Martial Arts, dozens of Grandmasters, and the entire Imperial Hospital.

Although his strength was far from the Sixth Realm, if it came to theoretical richness, he was sure there was no one in today's Martial Arts who could compare to him.

But, he'd waited for such a long time already and was not in a rush for this moment.

The final results of the Ten Great Grandmasters were now only a day or two away.

By this morning, the ten preliminary spots had already been decided.

Starting from this afternoon, the Grandmasters who had been eliminated could challenge any of them at will.

Successful challengers could take their place.

That afternoon, Li Nuo and the others arrived at the Martial Arts Village.

Just now, the Ministry of Rites had gotten hold of the list of Grandmasters these challengers wanted to challenge.

Out of the fifty-two eliminated Grandmasters, twenty-three chose to challenge Lady Mother-in-law.

The remaining twenty-nine unanimously chose to challenge Huang.

After all, on the surface, among the ten Grandmasters, Lady Mother-in-law and Huang were undoubtedly the weakest.

One the youngest and least experienced.

The other the least renowned, known only for his boxing and kicking skills, seemingly easy to defeat.

There might have been some luck involved in the previous rounds of competition, and many were not convinced in their hearts.

Especially a few of the Sanqing Sect's elders and the Five Mountains Sword Sect Grandmasters, who were stifling frustration and wanted to avenge their former losses.

In such a scenario, the Ministry of Rites naturally had to take measures.

For the two of them to take on challenges from everyone, even if they could win under normal circumstances, fighting round after round would exhaust them to death.

Therefore, the rules for the challenges were temporarily changed by the Ministry of Rites.

Each Grandmaster would face a maximum of six challengers.

If there were more than six challengers, they would have to draw lots to decide.

Those who drew the lot could challenge the person they hoped to, and if one didn't get chosen, they had to challenge someone else.

These ten Grandmasters had each fought their way through numerous opponents to reach their current positions. Those who had already failed naturally could not expect everything to go their way.

Presently, Li Nuo came over holding a list, handed it to Su Qing, and said, "Lady Mother-in-law, this is the list of Grandmasters challenging you."

Her luck wasn't too good – among the six challenging her, one was the only Grandmaster from the Shu Mountain Sect who had been eliminated.

This Grandmaster's elimination wasn't due to lack of strength, but rather misfortune in facing the strongest member of the Sanqing Sect's Taiching lineage.

Shu Mountain sword cultivators, not to mention in Daxia, had a formidable reputation even across the entire continent.

Although there weren't many Grandmasters from the Shu Mountain Sect, their quality was extremely high.

Most people believed he had the strength to be among the Ten Great Grandmasters.

If he defeated Lady Mother-in-law, he would replace her, and the subsequent challengers would naturally face him instead.

Upon learning that this Shu Mountain elder was the first to challenge her, the other Grandmasters also showed a pained expression.

Standing among the position of the Sanqing Sect was Xu Ying with hands behind her back, coming up to Su Qing with a smile, "Junior Sister Su, you must win this match. The honor of our sect rests solely on you…"

Shu Mountain had brought five Grandmasters this time.

If he won against Su Qing, Shu Mountain would occupy half of the Ten Great Grandmasters' spots.

Thirteen Grandmasters from Sanqing Sect were present, but only four had been selected, and the rest, despite each having a chance to challenge, might not necessarily succeed.

Daxia's unquestionably number one sect would only occupy four out of the ten spots, whereas the second-ranked Shu Mountain could have five. This was something that made no sense at all.

Xu Ying's encouragement was, in fact, pressure in disguise.

She looked at Su Qing and said, "You can only win this match, Junior Sister. Otherwise, you'll become the sinner of our sect…"

An old woman glared at her and said to Su Qing, "Don't mind Junior Sister Xu, just do your best. Even if you lose to the Shu Mountain Sword Madman, there's no shame in that, nobody will blame you."

That's what Su Qing had been thinking as well.

She knew she didn't have the strength of the Ten Great Grandmasters and was prepared to let things take their course.

But she couldn't stand Junior Sister Xu's attitude.

She was like this even before a loss had occurred.

One could only imagine how she would ridicule her if she actually lost.

There was still time before she had to compete, and with a glance at Xu Ying, she walked to another part of the stands.

Li Nuo was comforting Anning, who was throwing a little tantrum. She was supposed to sleep with him last night, but he had spent the night in the study working on the Yuqing Heart Technique. Anning had waited up for him all night without sleeping well, and now she was angry with him, difficult to appease.

With no other option, Li Nuo whispered into her ear, "How about you join us in bed tonight?"

The final negotiation result was that, to make up for leaving her alone last night, she would join him and his wife in bed tonight, and the night after, as compensation, and only then would the matter be settled.

Of course, Li Nuo had no objections.

Even if it were three of them sleeping together every night, he wouldn't mind.

His wife was detached by nature and wouldn't have any objections either.

A win-win for all three; why not delight in it?

Seeing Su Qing approaching, Li Anning immediately let go of Li Nuo's hand and sat up straight, watching the competition in the arena.

Between herself and her husband, anything goes, but in the presence of others, she still had to maintain the grace of a Princess.

Su Qing gave Li Nuo a look, and Li Nuo walked to the edge of the arena. Su Qing couldn't wait to ask, "Is there a way for me to defeat that Grandmaster from Shu Mountain?"

Unconsciously, when it came to matters of the Martial Path, she instinctively thought to consult Li Nuo.

Li Nuo nodded.

Among those of the same realm, half of a match's outcome depended on strength and half on skill.

In a match that was stopped at the first hit, everyone wouldn't use their full strength, so skill played an even greater part.

For most Martial Artists, strength and skill often advanced in tandem.

Those with deeper cultivation typically also had superior skills.

Someone like Li Nuo who had extreme proficiency was unheard of throughout the entire Martial Arts world.

The upcoming challenger from Shu Mountain, known for his unique Swordsmanship style, was relentless like a storm, not giving his opponents any chance to breathe, thus earning the nickname "Sword Madman."

Because his sword moves were tightly linked, and he struck with incredible speed, those who fought him had no time to look for his weaknesses and could only defend passively, always being suppressed by him, eventually leading to defeat.

To defeat him, one had to be even more ferocious.

Li Nuo's mind operated like a high-speed computer, swiftly combining and arranging sword moves from various sects in his head, quickly assembling a set of fiercely powerful Swordsmanship.

This set of Swordsmanship was faster and flowed more naturally. Once initiated, unless the opponent was significantly stronger than her, they would not be able to cope with it in the limited space of the arena within a short time.

However, mastering this set of Swordsmanship in such a short time was not easy.

After visualizing the sword moves in her mind, Su Qing appeared anxious, saying, "It won't work, there's not enough time for me to become familiar with it."

What kind of problem was this?

Li Nuo directly sought out the Ministry of Rites official who was organizing the matches and had Lady Mother-in-law's match scheduled last, giving her enough time to familiarize herself with the set of sword moves.

Li Nuo himself stood by to give her pointers.

Song Yiren sat on the wall, idly swinging her legs, watching Li Nuo instruct her mother in Swordsmanship, and let out a long sigh, seemingly deep in thought.

Above the stands.

Xu Ying, observing another challenger's defeat, looked around and couldn't help but ask, "Why hasn't Junior Sister Su taken the stage yet?"

Beside her, a Grandmaster said, "I just went to ask, the order of the matches has been changed, Junior Sister Su will be the last to go."

Xu Ying scoffed and said, "Is stalling for time going to be useful?"

As her words fell, a figure slowly approached. Su Qing glanced at her but said nothing, their eyes locked in a stare-down as the tension in the air grew thick with animosity.

At that moment, the official from the Ministry of Rites announced, "Next up, Elder Wang of Shu Mountain Sect versus Elder Su of Sanqing Sect."

The previously noisy stands suddenly became silent.

This match was undoubtedly the most anticipated one.

One was a Sword Path Master from Shu Mountain, long established as famous.

The other, the youngest second-generation Disciple of Sanqing Sect, who just yesterday had unexpectedly defeated the Shu Mountain Sect Leader.

Some people felt that Su Qing's skills were being seriously underrated.

Others thought it was merely luck.

Which it was, today's match would provide the answer.

In the arena.

After both figures took their positions, they exchanged salutes with their swords.

A gong sounded by the side of the arena, and the match officially began.

Whoosh!

To everyone's surprise, the first to strike was Su Qing.

Almost at the instant the gong sounded, her sword moved.

In the void, it was as if a silver ribbon cut through the air.

Her sword struck with incredible speed, and her moves flowed together seamlessly. Each and every movement was as fierce as waves crashing on a shore, forceful and wild, filled with a violent sense of beauty.

She was not employing the Swordsmanship of any sect.

Nor did any sect's Swordsmanship possess the raw force of this set.

From her Swordsmanship, masters from various Sword Path Sects saw echoes of their own styles.

This set of Swordsmanship was a combination from all of these styles.

But not just any set of powerful moves thrown together made a new Swordsmanship; the fluidity and linkage between the moves were crucial.

The connections between moves in this set were silky smooth, the arrangement so exquisitely crafted it was nothing short of ingenious, leaving onlookers in awe.

The Sword Madman of Shu Mountain also favored fierce attacks.

But in her presence, he simply couldn't muster that fury.

His Swordsmanship had barely begun before Su Qing overpowered it. She was like a tiger descending a mountain, attacking like a tempest, giving no quarter to her opponent.

At this moment, a thought emerged in everyone's heart.

Who was the true Sword Madman?

The Grandmasters of Shu Mountain were stunned.

Even members of the Sanqing Sect were dumbfounded.

An elder, watching Su Qing forcefully push back the Grandmaster from Shu Mountain, murmured, "Was she also taught by that predecessor?"
