Chapter 251: Chapter 250: Preliminary Recognition
Guo Ming heard the words around him, smiled and said, "You can have someone try my little apprentice’s Kung Fu. If they can’t get up later, don’t blame me for not warning you."
The people around him didn’t take this seriously.
After all, Yiyi looked quite delicate, not like someone who practiced martial arts. Finally, Pei Jin stepped forward and said, "Since the Sect Leader said so, I must offend you." Saying this, he cupped his fists and looked directly at Yiyi.
Yiyi smiled faintly and stepped forward as well, "Then I ask Brother Pei for your guidance."
After the two greeted each other, their expressions became solemn.
Pei Jin did not underestimate Yiyi because she was a girl. He knew the Sect Leader’s character and certainly wouldn’t boast, so this little girl must have some extraordinary abilities. However, considering Yiyi was a girl, he didn’t strike first, letting her make the first move.
Yiyi also understood Pei Jin’s intentions, so without any hesitation, she directly attacked with a palm strike.
Seeing Yiyi’s palm technique, Pei Jin collected the last bit of ease in his heart, his expression became more serious. He hadn’t expected that this little girl had already learned the Sect Leader’s exclusive palm technique. He knew the power of this technique so when Yiyi approached, he swiftly dodged, then raised his leg and kicked toward Yiyi.
Yiyi turned half a circle to the right, dodged the attack, then continued with another palm strike.
However, she soon discovered that Pei Jin was also familiar with this set of palm techniques, so in a moment, she changed her strategy, no longer following the moves but just going on intuition.
During her time at Medicine Valley, Yiyi experienced numerous life-and-death battles, so she knew how to inflict the greatest damage in the shortest time. At this moment, her eyes showed only determination and ferocity. She knew this battle couldn’t be lost, whether for herself or for her master.
Her master had struggled to regain control of the Yin sect, and the current situation was definitely still critical, so she couldn’t allow any negative influence.
Thinking of this, Yiyi’s strikes became more ruthless, her expression turned ice-cold, intimidating those watching.
Those around saw Yiyi like this and finally shed their initial nonchalance. Only at this moment did they realize this little girl was unusual; one could tell just by the look in her eyes that she was seasoned with blood. Everyone finally believed Guo Ming’s words, and all watched the match intently.
Compared to others, Pei Jin felt this even more keenly.
Although he respected the little girl from the start, Yiyi’s strength exceeded his expectations. Despite his years of practicing Kung Fu, he felt overwhelmed against this little girl’s fierce and decisive moves.
Guo Ming was watching and nodded approvingly.
He had always known Yiyi’s explosive power was impressive, and her experience was exceptional despite having practiced martial arts for only a short time, as if she’d had many real battles. This was Yiyi’s confidence.
Thinking of a quick resolution, Yiyi didn’t drag out the fight, waited for the right moment, and delivered the final blow to Pei Jin.
"I lost."
Pei Jin’s expression was full of disappointment; he hadn’t anticipated losing to a little girl.
"You’re very strong."
Yiyi commented sincerely. If not for her reckless fighting style at the end, Pei Jin wouldn’t have lost.
But this time, she truly couldn’t lose, so she could only offend.
Pei Jin shook his head and said, "You are truly strong. I concede defeat; I am convinced. It’s not surprising you’re the Sect Leader’s disciple, your martial arts talent is genuinely high. Even though you’re young, your skills are impressive."
"Thank you for letting me win."
Yiyi cupped her fists and said.
Guo Ming laughed heartily on the side, "Okay Pei Jin, you’re very strong too. Actually, Yiyi also took a bit of a shortcut. Had it not been for her ruthless, reckless fighting style, you might not have lost. You lost because you lacked that little bit of life-and-death combat experience."
But toward the end, Guo Ming himself started to wonder.
Yiyi actually has such ability; could it be she had previously faced life-and-death situations to accumulate such experience?
But he quickly shook his head again, thinking Yiyi wouldn’t have encountered such situations from childhood, so it could only be attributed to her strong intuition.
The people around saw the match end and began clapping, some for Yiyi, some for Pei Jin, and eventually everyone gradually recognized Yiyi.
They didn’t expect this little girl’s Kung Fu to be so strong, able to defeat Pei Jin.
Luo Hu on the side showed a complex expression.
In terms of skills, he was somewhat less accomplished than Pei Jin. So it meant he certainly couldn’t match this little girl.
Guo Ming saw the change in others’ attitudes towards his little apprentice and couldn’t help but smile and nod, then directly led everyone to the main hall.
By this time, everyone in the Yin sect had gathered, Guo Ming once again formally introduced Yiyi, and then said, "From now on, Yiyi will be your Young Master. When acting outside, if you encounter her, you must treat her as you would treat me."
"Yes."
But the response wasn’t very loud, only those who saw Yiyi and Pei Jin’s match spoke.
Some others were still puzzled, but after hearing the explanation from those around them, they formed an initial impression of Yiyi as someone with high martial arts ability.
As for other aspects, they naturally couldn’t be certain; everything would have to reveal itself slowly.
Guo Ming knew that one can’t become fat by eating in one bite. He was quite satisfied with the disciples’ attitude towards Yiyi; his little apprentice didn’t disappoint him, having immediately impressed others with her strikes, showing true talent.
Between talks, Guo Ming also brought up the sacrificial ceremony.
This is an important event for the Yin sect, so Guo Ming brought Yiyi over, one to acquaint with everyone, and secondly to have her participate in the event to become familiar.
But the sacrificial ceremony is tomorrow, so after a lively dinner with the members of the Yin sect, Yiyi went back to rest.
The next day, the solemn sacrificial ceremony began.
The Yin sect has been passed down for many years, so all the ceremonies follow ancient rites, intricate and filled with ancient charm, deeply affecting Yiyi as she watched from the side.
After the busy sacrificial ceremony ended, she also breathed a sigh of relief.
This time wasn’t easy for Yiyi; while memorizing the ceremonial process, she also had to assist Guo Ming in completing the ceremony.
"Yiyi, now that we’re done, you go back first. I still have a few more days here."
Thinking about needing to go to school, Yiyi could only nod and say, "Alright, Master, I’ll go back first."
However, when Yiyi returned home, it was already late, and she could only wait until tomorrow to go back to school.
But after calling out twice, Yiyi realized Ding Yuejun hadn’t returned yet, which puzzled her, so she hurriedly went to the clothing store on the street.
Unfortunately, upon arriving at the clothing store, Yiyi found that her mother wasn’t there either.
