Madam, protect me!

Li Nuo didn't notice Su Qing.

All his attention was on the meridian map in front of him.

Almost, just a little bit.

The understanding of martial arts by dozens of masters was in his mind.

He was familiar with dozens of martial arts mental methods and knew the characteristics of each mental method.

The true qi flowing through different acupoints showed different properties. One more acupoint, one less acupoint, the true qi properties might be completely opposite, and the different order of flowing through the acupoints might also lead to completely different results.

The understanding and perception of so many masters seemed to be not far from what he wanted.

But it was still a little bit short.

He still had to increase his efforts.

...

The martial arts conference had been held for five days.

No sect or organization had ever summoned so many masters at once.

Each master had his own unique insights into martial arts.

Everyone exchanged and discussed martial arts together every day, and gained a lot. Even the master of Sanqing Sect felt that this trip was worthwhile.

But there was one thing that really made these masters helpless.

That is, whether it is the Sanqing Sect, a super first-class sect, or a first-class sect such as Shushan and Wuyue Sword Sect, or a second-class sect, from the master to the disciple, very few people can escape the punishment of self-reflection in the confinement room.

Waste food, fine!

Litter, fine!

Be late for the competition, fine!

Stay out all night, fine!

Drink in Wulin Village, fine!

Before and after the competition, do not salute the opponent, fine!

...

Can't escape, can't escape at all.

If a disciple of a sect violates the rules, their leader and sect master must also go to the confinement room to reflect.

In order not to embarrass the leader and sect master, the disciples of each sect licked the plates clean when they ate in the cafeteria these days.

But even so, after five days, 80% of all the masters have been to the confinement room.

Later, they even got used to it.

After coming to Chang'an for a few days, they also learned some things from the people.

Even if it is an official of the court, if he spits on the street, is late for the court and leaves early, he will be arrested and imprisoned for reflection. There are more reasons for their arrest, including being bad to his wife and disrespectful to his parents. These are the reasons for the Ministry of Rites to arrest people.

So it is not that the Ministry of Rites is targeting them.

That's how people do things.

Today is the third round of the selection of the top ten masters.

After the first two rounds of competitions, there are only sixteen of the sixty-two masters.

There will be eight competitions today, and the winner of each competition can temporarily lock in the position of the top ten masters.

And today's loser will have the opportunity to compete for the last two seats tomorrow.

As the competition continues to this day, the masters of Sanqing Sect and Shushan have demonstrated terrifying dominance.

Among the sixteen who advanced, eight were from Sanqing Sect, five were from Shushan, and only the masters of Taishan and Hengshan remained from the Five Mountains Sword Sect. The last one was the doorman Lao Huang in Li Nuo's home.

Thirteen masters from Sanqing Sect came, and eight entered the third round.

After three rounds, none of the five masters from Shushan were eliminated.

Two masters from the Five Mountains Sword Sect also stayed.

A few competitions can clearly show the difference between first-rate and second-rate sects.

But Lao Huang made Li Nuo look at him differently.

He did not use any weapons and won three consecutive competitions. He only relied on a pair of iron fists and a set of fierce boxing techniques to defeat a palm master, a sword master, and a gun master.

Li Nuo was already a little curious about how much his father paid him a month.

The first competition today was with Senior Xu who did not get along well with his mother-in-law.

Although she was a little annoying, her strength was unquestionable.

In less than half an hour, the Taishan Sect Leader, who was more than 20 years older than her, was eliminated by her.

In the martial arts, being too young means lack of experience, and being too old means that the body will inevitably age. At the age of 40, one is at the peak of strength.

On the stands, Su Qing held the sword with a serious expression.

In the next round, she will play.

Her luck was not too good. The opponent in this round was the Shushan Sect Leader.

When she just started learning sword, the opponent was already a famous martial artist and a master of the generation.

The sword art of Shushan is still better than that of the Sanqing Sect. She is likely to lose this round.

If she loses this round, she will compete with seven other people for the last two seats tomorrow, and the competition will undoubtedly be more intense.

Just when she was a little nervous, Song Yiren came over and handed her a piece of paper, saying, "Mom, this is from Li Nuo."

Su Qing took the paper, looked up, and her expression was slightly startled.

There were several sets of sword moves written on this paper.

It is not a set of sword techniques, but sword moves taken from other sword techniques and then disrupted.

She has been learning sword techniques since she was a child. She dare not say that she is proficient in various sword techniques, but she is still very familiar with the moves. Just looking at the name of the move, a specific picture will emerge in her mind.

To Su Qing's surprise, these sword moves that were pieced together were not awkward at all, but extremely smooth, just like a new sword technique.

Song Yiren said: "He said that as long as you remember these sets of sword moves, you won't lose too badly even if you lose in the competition."

Su Qing glanced at Li Nuo, who was accompanying the beauty and the two big-breasted women not far away. Does this boy have so little confidence in his mother-in-law?

She really has no confidence.

Su Qing had personally experienced Li Nuo's attainments in the sword art. She lowered her head and looked at these sword moves carefully. No matter what, she wrote them down first.

She believed that he would not give her this piece of paper for no reason.

On the other side, Li Nuo and An Ning Fenghuang were sitting together. Seeing that his mother-in-law was looking at the paper seriously, she retracted her gaze.

Two days ago, a Shushan disciple did not return home at night and had a good time in a brothel. He was discovered by the Ministry of Rites during a temporary room inspection.

During the conference, you can go out at will during the day, but you must return to Wulin Village before curfew at night. You cannot stay out at night. This is the rule set by Li Nuo.

Chang'an has gathered high-ranking officials and countless dignitaries. The martial arts conference was held here, and so many martial artists were invited to come. The security pressure of Jingzhao Prefecture, Chang'an County Government and the imperial guards is very high.

With the strength of these masters, it is easy to enter those wealthy families.

Taking the heads of most of the powerful people is as easy as taking something out of a bag.

If they are allowed to run around at night, once there is any trouble, the Ministry of Rites cannot shirk its responsibility.

Therefore, a few days ago, Li Nuo repeatedly told them this rule, and the various sects also expressed their understanding.

On the second day, this Shushan disciple was punished to be confined for a day.

As the head of Shushan, he was also locked up in the confinement room for an hour because he did not discipline his disciples strictly.

In this world, Li Nuo knows him best, except for the head of Shushan himself.

As a master, his cultivation is much higher than that of his mother-in-law.

In terms of sword experience, his mother-in-law is far inferior to him.

Facing such a strong man, she will definitely lose.

But she is the mother of the beauty after all, and Li Nuo still doesn't want to see her lose if there is a way.

These sets of sword moves are specifically aimed at the head of Shushan.

Shushan is the ancestor of swordplay. They have conducted in-depth research on the sword techniques of various schools, and have long since found ways to crack them.

No matter she used the sword techniques of the Sanqing Sect, the sword techniques of the Wuyue Sword Sect, or the few styles she created herself, she could not last more than half a quarter of an hour in the hands of the opponent.

If you want to win, or don't want to lose too badly, you can only find another way.

Shushan sword techniques are specifically designed to defeat routines, but if there are no routines, there is naturally nothing to defeat.

The few sets of sword moves that Li Nuo temporarily compiled not only have no routines, but also set a routine for the head of Shushan.

The second competition today also quickly decided the winner.

The head of Hengshan was eliminated by a master of the Shushan School.

Although the two have similar cultivation, their swordsmanship has long been far apart.

The head of Hengshan sighed in his heart, clasped his fists to him, and left the field.

The master of the Shushan School also clasped his fists in return.

The official from the Ministry of Rites looked at the list on the paper and said loudly: "The next match is between Master Qi of Shushan and Elder Su of Sanqing Sect!"

In the eyes of other masters, this match was not suspenseful.

Although Elder Su was extremely talented, he was still inexperienced and his strength could not be compared with that of the Master of Shushan.

Xu Ying, who had just won, crossed his arms and was waiting to see how Su Qing would lose.

Two figures had already walked onto the stage. Su Qing saluted respectfully with his fists clasped: "Su Qing meets Senior Qi. Please give me some advice."

In the martial arts world, elders don't actually need to return the greetings to the younger ones, but the conference has its own rules. The Master of Shushan also returned the greetings with his sword, and then smiled and said: "You go first."

Su Qing nodded, the long sword in her hand made a slight sound, and she raised her hand to perform a Shangqing sword technique.

Li Nuo said that when she was asked to make a move, she should use the Shangqing sword technique first.

The Master of Shushan dissolved her attack with a few casual swords.

As expected by everyone, Su Qing was at a disadvantage from the beginning.

A sword master in the Sanqing Sect shook his head and said, "Our swordsmanship has long been figured out by Shushan. I'm afraid that Junior Sister... Hey, what swordsmanship is Junior Sister using?"

Before he finished speaking, his eyes widened.

Junior Sister Su had just used the Shangqing swordsmanship when she was suppressed by the Shushan Sect Leader with a swordsmanship.

But she suddenly changed a set of swordsmanship, and in just a few moves, she turned the disadvantage around and took some initiative.

A trace of surprise also appeared on the face of the Shushan Sect Leader, but he had extremely rich experience in swordsmanship. After retreating a few steps, he quickly thought of a way to deal with it, but at this moment, Su Qing's sword moves changed again.

The method of restraint he had originally thought of was counter-restrained by her.

When he thought of a sword move against her, her sword move changed dramatically again.

The Shushan Sect Leader was forced to retreat again and again, and could only be forced to defend, and retreat and think, and when he realized it, his two feet had already retreated out of the boundary.

He looked at the woman opposite him, and soon realized what had happened, with a look of shock on his face.

Her Shangqing sword technique was just a trap.

When he began to crack the Shangqing sword technique, he had already fallen into her trap.

From then on, the situation on the field was no longer under his control.

He cracked the Shangqing sword technique, Su Qing cracked the sword technique that cracked the Shangqing sword technique, he cracked it again, Su Qing cracked it back, and so on, he was always one step behind...

It was impossible for people to have such an on-the-spot reaction.

She had already calculated all the sword moves before the competition.

All this was her plan.

From beginning to end, he was led by her by the nose, and this time, he lost without reason...

The only thing that puzzled him was that she had watched Su Qing's three competitions. This was not something she could come up with. There must be someone with extremely high attainments in swordsmanship behind her who was giving her advice. The Grand Master of the Sanqing Sect did not have this ability. Could it be that her master had come?
