Dominating the Pugilistic World With My Detective Skills
Chapter 35 - 35 35 Stunning Sword

35: Chapter 35: Stunning Sword 35: Chapter 35: Stunning Sword Editor: Henyee Translations “Decide the victory with one move?” Hearing Ye Weiming’s suggestion, Xie Xun was taken aback at first, then asked with a frown, “What do you mean by decide the victory with one move?”

Ye Weiming calmly withdrew his sword, saying, “I will only strike once.

If you can take it head-on without dodges or blocking, I admit defeat.

You can do whatever you want with me then, and I won’t complain.”

“Defeat me in one move?” Unable to restrain himself, Xie Xun looked at Ye Weiming again, “Such an arrogant lad!

Not to mention you, Even if the esteemed Zhang Sanfeng came himself, I, Xie Xun, wouldn’t be unable to take a single move!

I’ll give you another chance to reconsider your challenge.”

“No!” Ye Weiming shook his head resolutely, “Only one sword strike!

However, I need some preparation time for this strike, so you can’t interrupt halfway.”

“Fine!” Xie Xun laughed heartily, “Regardless of victory or loss today, I’ll remember you, boy.

If you can make me dodge or retreat half a step with just one sword strike, your reward will be increased by one level!”

“Then I sincerely thank you for your kindness.” As he spoke, Ye Weiming’s smile faded, and he began to slowly infuse his internal strength into the longsword in his hand.

Under the stimulation of the internal strength, the Dragon Spring Treasure Sword revealed a pleasing crisp sound.

At the same time, Ye Weiming’s left hand started to calculate.

Regardless of the Peak, activate!

At the same moment when Weiming entered the calculation state, Xie Xun suddenly felt a sense of fear that he had not experienced for a long time.

His intuition told him that the sword strike from this boy could be extraordinary.

The best approach would be to strike first and kill him instantly.!

However, since the terms have been agreed upon, Xie Xun couldn’t bear to do something as shameless as that.

He could only suppress his impulse to strike and prepare mentally for the fight.

On the other side, Yin Bukui’s eyes widened in surprise when he saw Ye Weiming’s move, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “Regardless of the Peak!”

This guy is definitely a fan of the original story!

Ye Weiming had suspected this when they were on the ship initially.

Before talking to Yin Bukui, Ye Weiming had asked Zhang Cuishan about the Eagle Sect, and the answer was that he knew nothing about the sect, not even who was the sect hierarch.

However, Yin Bukui was able to tell him all about the Eagle Sect and the Four Great Kings of the Ming Sect as soon as he stepped out the door, even specifically mentioning Xie Xun’s background information.

And now, this guy could recognize the skill ‘Regardless of the Peak’ at one glance!

Who would believe him if he says he’s not a fan?

However, the backdrop of “Eternal Chivalry” is martial arts, not Naruto.

Distracted thinking during a fight is nothing short of asking for death.

Ye Weiming had, at this moment, blocked out all distractions and was wholeheartedly…solving math problems!

Compared to when using water bandits at West Lake for practice, using ‘Regardless of the Peak’ on Xie Xun didn’t increase the difficulty of the problems.

It didn’t present him with ten calculus problems as Ye Weiming had feared.

Rather, the number of problems seemed to have increased.

Previously, he could activate it after solving ten questions, but now, even after he finished the thirteenth problem, there wasn’t any indication of a successful activation.

However, regarding this, Ye Weiming showed no worry.

Since Xie Xun wouldn’t interrupt, and there is no time limit to activating ‘Regardless of the Peak’, take time and solve it.

To ensure the accuracy of his calculations, Ye Weiming checked the results after every problem he solved, only submitting the answer when he was satisfied with its correctness.

The stability was undoubtedly maintained.

Time passed second by second.

Not only Xie Xun, but even Yin Bukui on the side had become impatient.

If each activation required such a long preparation time, wouldn’t ‘Regardless of the Peak’, which was even more powerful than ‘Dugu Nine Prince Arrow’, be too mediocre?

The reality was indeed mediocre!

Five minutes later, Ye Weiming had finished the 24th problem.

Seven minutes later, Ye Weiming had finished the 32nd problem.

Nine minutes later, Xie Xun finally lost his patience, and said, “Boy, are you going to strike or not?”

Ye Weiming ignored him, continued to calculate the 41st problem, and started to murmur, “Three times seven is twenty-one, eight times eight is sixty-four, seven times nine…”

Seems like solving out loud slightly improved efficiency?

Twelve minutes later, Xie Xun couldn’t help but say, “Boy, didn’t you say you didn’t want to waste my time?

However, the prep time for your strike is enough to finish a fight with ten men!”

Ye Weiming: “…ninety-nine makes eighty-one, one plus seven equals eight, eight plus six…”

Just as Xie Xun’s patience was about to reach its limit, Ye Weiming finally finished the calculations for the 49th math problem!

By now, the initial effects of Daizong have finally been activated successfully!

“It’s ready!” With that utterance, Ye Weiming’s longsword thrust out fiercely.

It was still the most lethal strike, the “Westward Heart-grab” from the “Maiden’s Swordsmanship”.

What was different this time was the power that this sword strike now contained – it was definitely not something a mediocre sword tactic could generate.

In this one strike, all of Ye Weiming’s remaining vigor, spirit, and essence had been infused into the tip of the sword, seemingly combining him with the sword as one entity.

The core principle of the Daizong mental method is calculating, not just the adversary, but also the surrounding environment, and even finer details like the angle, direction, musculature, meridians, skeletal structure, and inner strength usages during an attack.

Only this way can the sword thrust be refined to near perfection, so the tiniest force could be exerted in maximum potency.

And only an attack like this could target an enemy’s weak point to land a critical strike that could defeat them!

Facing Ye Weiming’s seemingly simple but near perfect sword strike, Xie Xun’s eyes popped open.

He found the strike seemed to be targeting his vital area directly, and in a flash, more than ten counter strategies emerged in his mind, only to be immediately dismissed by him.

In reviewing all his martial arts knowledge, Xie Xun was horrified to find that there was not a single move that could withstand this seemingly ordinary thrust!

Let alone block it, he couldn’t even dodge it!

What was he supposed to do?

However, Xie Xun is Xie Xun after all.

At the crucial moment, he bellowed in fury and suddenly burst out with powerful force.

Then, without retreat or evasion, he punched straight at Ye Weiming’s sword tip.

Before the fist arrived, the surging force had already been blown out from the fist’s wind and directly hit the place where the Longquan treasure sword was at its peak.

“Crack!”

Under the fierce tearing force, the blue quality Longquan treasure sword was effortlessly shattered into seven pieces without the least bit of resistance.

The shattered pieces bounded away at an unbelievable speed, some piercing the sky above, some shattering the wooden platform beneath, and one piece grazed just under Yin Bukui’s ribs, reducing him once again to a bloodied state even after he had just fully recovered.

Ye Weiming, who took the brunt of the force, was sent flying off the stage as if struck by lightning.

After landing, he couldn’t help but cough up a mass of fresh blood.

A bright red number floated above his head.

-567!

With one punch, Ye Weiming was reduced from full health to a critical condition!

Shaking his head, and crawling up from the ground, Ye Weiming shook his head and wryly said, “Senior is invincible with divine abilities.

I admit defeat.”

“No!” Xie Xun, still visibly stunned, softly shook his head and said: “The one who should lose is me.

Just look at my attributes and you will understand.”

Ye Weiming glanced up and saw that Xie Xun’s status was now shown as…

Xie Xun

Known in the martial world as the Golden Lion King, unfathomable strength.

Level: ???

Health: ???/???

Inner strength: ???/???

Martial arts: ???

“Your sword strike was indeed formidable.

I was unable to parry or even evade it.

To protect myself, I had to remove the restrictions on my level and attributes, which is essentially cheating.

Thus, the winner is you!”

“Throughout my life, I have committed countless murders and thefts, and I have stolen countless martial arts secrets in the martial world.

What would you like to learn?

Just tell me!”

“I will remind you, your reward limit is a mid-level martial arts technique.” He then pointed towards Yin Bukui: “His reward limit is a beginner-level martial arts technique.”

“If you try to be clever, I can cancel your rewards, now you may speak.”
