Chapter 337 Conspiracy! (Coming!)
However, Xin Zhen was not in a hurry. He first connected with Hao Datong and slowly took over many of the teaching affairs. He just sorted them out without making any immediate changes because he had to do one thing first. Once this thing was done, the subsequent reforms would be a natural process.
This matter is to teach martial arts to four generations of disciples.
Of course, on the surface this matter is to teach martial arts, but in reality it is of course to win over the fourth generation of disciples as the most powerful foundation. If he can attract all the fourth generation of disciples and have them around him, then he will have a firm grasp on the control of the Quanzhen Sect.
Although Zhao Zhijing is narrow-minded, he is still quite accurate in his judgment of this matter.
But this was an open conspiracy. Everyone knew why Xin Zhen did this, but not many people would stop him. Even the top six Quanzhen masters would support it.
With the example of Changchun as a precedent, who would dare to resist this change?
The Changchun lineage was originally the strongest, and now after Xin Zhen's training, the gap between the fourth-generation disciples and the third-generation disciples has been infinitely narrowed. There are even outstanding fourth-generation disciples who are stronger than the third-generation disciples of other branches.
This is just less than a year. If it continues like this, it will be difficult for other lineages to catch up with the Changchun lineage.
Now Xin Zhen is willing to share his martial arts with other branches. If other branches still hold back and refuse to join, then in a few years they won't even have a chance to sit at the table.
Wang Chuyi knew very well that Xin Zhen's move would greatly weaken his control over the Yuyang lineage. If this continued, Xin Zhen would completely control the Quanzhen Sect within one or two years, rather than ten years. But so what?
Xin Zhen is now the head of Quanzhen Sect. It is natural for him to control the sect. Everyone has their own little thoughts, but this is the general direction and no one can say anything.
Even for people like Zhao Zhijing, even if he was angry, he could only complain to his master. If he dared to go outside and complain to other fellow disciples, he would definitely be criticized.
There are voices of opposition, but they are not many, and they dare not be expressed publicly.
Xin Zhen was naturally happy to see this. If the opposition was too loud, there would eventually be obstacles.
Today it seems that the Quanzhen Sect is still quite harmonious. Although there is competition, it has at least not deteriorated to that extent.
This is of great benefit to Xin Zhen's work.
Recently, in addition to sorting out teaching affairs, he has devoted himself to teaching martial arts.
Xin Zhen tried his best to do it himself. Not only did he teach a course on the essentials of sword skills, he also personally practiced sword skills with four generations of disciples every day. In order to have contact with every disciple, Xin Zhen specially set up an interesting little game.
This small game is a sword fight. The rules of the game are that whoever can fight with Xin Zhen for three moves without being defeated will be rewarded by Xin Zhen. As for what the reward is, Xin Zhen will teach a set of martial arts specifically based on the personal characteristics of this disciple.
This little game immediately became a craze, and four generations of disciples were proud to challenge Xin Zhen.
Although Xin Zhen was the headmaster, he was younger than most of the disciples. Everyone respected him outwardly, but they were still not convinced in their hearts.
In fact, many people practice martial arts, but they are not very clear about Xin Zhen’s strength. Some people who are not good at seeing may even think that if Xin Zhen can do it, then so can I.
Even though Xin Zhen killed the Fire Monk who defeated Zhao Zhijing and injured Master Wang Chuyi with one move, he also killed the Taoist who suffered hundreds of injuries, and he had many other military achievements.
But they will still think: Yang Guo is powerful, yes, but is he really much more powerful than me?
Or some people might think: Yang Guo is powerful, but I may not be worse than him in the future... So, except for the disciples of Changchun and Guangning lineages, almost all the disciples of the fourth generation wanted to try how strong Xin Zhen was.
Therefore, after Xin Zhen announced this little game, almost all the disciples from each branch participated enthusiastically. They did not come for the martial arts, but to last three moves under Xin Zhen. Some even hoped to defeat Xin Zhen by chance.
Xin Zhen naturally accepted everyone who came.
Of course he knew what these young people were thinking, and this was also his way of establishing his authority.
Aren't you unconvinced? Well, then I should let you see how big the gap is.
At the beginning, Xin Zhen was only fighting one-on-one, and he could basically defeat the opponent with one move. But as more and more people came later, Xin Zhen found it troublesome and simply attacked them all at once, ten at a time.
The next four generations of disciples lost so many times that they simply formed the Tiangang Big Dipper Formation to fight against Xin Zhen, but they were still no match for Xin Zhen. Later, they even formed a large-scale Tiangang Big Dipper Formation to fight against Xin Zhen, but they were still no match for him.
As a result, the four generations of disciples were beaten pale by Xin Zhen and their martial arts spirits were almost shattered.
It was Xin Zhen who noticed the clue and quickly stopped the game. He encouraged them a few more times and finally relieved everyone's frustration a little. However, this also brought a consequence, that is, all the four generations of disciples revered Xin Zhen as a god.
There is no way. In the field of martial arts, only after a fight will everyone know how big the gap is.
When we lost in a one-on-one match, everyone felt that the gap was already huge.
When they were defeated in a ten-to-one battle, everyone realized that the gap between them and Xin Zhen was far more than just miles.
After losing to Xin Zhen with the large Tiangang Beidou formation, everyone finally realized that the gap between them and Xin Zhen was the gap between gods and humans!
There is a line in the movie “The Master” which goes, “After practicing, he will respect me as he respects God.”
This is roughly the relationship between Xin Zhen and his four generations of disciples.
This feeling of worship reached its climax after Xin Zhen began to lecture on "Essentials of the Sword Classic".
In fact, everyone knows that Xin Zhen's swordsmanship is very advanced. We realized this when we were learning the New Quanzhen Swordsmanship before. But after Xin Zhen explained the essentials of the swordsmanship, everyone realized that Xin Zhen's swordsmanship has reached a level that is difficult for everyone to understand.
Afterwards, the third generation disciples also arrived one after another. After listening to Xin Zhen’s summary of the sword manual, all of them were convinced.
Later, even Wang Chuyi, Liu Chuxuan, Sun Buer and others came. After listening to Xin Zhen's class, they even had an outrageous idea: If Master Chongyang were still alive, I wonder if he could defeat the young man in front of them?
Of course, this thought only flashed through their minds. Wang Chongyang was like a god in their eyes, and their admiration for Wang Chongyang was deeply engraved in their hearts, which naturally could not be shaken by Xin Zhen.
Within three months, except for very few people, almost everyone in Chongyang Palace was convinced by Xin Zhen. At this point, no one doubted Xin Zhen anymore, and Xin Zhen completely secured his position as the head of Quanzhen Sect!
