Chapter 143: The old man who hates physiognomy

Lin Xing raised his head and looked at Old Man Su in surprise.

Although he was very old, in terms of martial arts cultivation, it was indeed inferior to Daoist arts. Su Zhe, who was around two hundred years old, already showed the marks carved by the passage of time.

Wrinkles crisscrossed, running horizontally and vertically, spreading across the old man's face. The ravines of time were deep and obvious.

However, Lin Xing's mind went blank!

The traces intersected, but in the end, he couldn't get any information at all! Lin Xing's art of physiognomy couldn't see anything about this old man!

The older a person was, the deeper their connection with the world was, and the easier it was to use physiognomy to calculate. But Lin Xing couldn't get the slightest bit of information about the old man in front of him!

A person outside of fate!

Only someone like Lin Xing, who was also outside of fate, would be like this!

The Rising Dragon Sword was a set of martial arts!

Su Zhe was the founder of Longyin!

The old man's uninhibited behavior, which was different from that of ordinary people!

All of these things, when put together, led to the conclusion that this old man was another time traveler!

In this way, everything could be explained!

Why was there no Su Lingfeng in the original work? For such a talented disciple, how could she not be in the original work? It simply didn't make sense.

Because history had already been changed!

Lin Xing looked at Old Man Su Zhe, and his gaze moved from his face to his hands.

These were the hands of a swordsman. His fingers were long, and there were thick calluses on several parts. These were the marks left by decades of hard cultivation day in and day out. The lines on the old man's palm crisscrossed. Lin Xing looked carefully, hoping to find something.

Old Man Su Zhe saw Lin Xing's gaze and suddenly changed his expression. He took a few steps down the mountain and cursed loudly: "Damn it! You kid!You actually turned against me. You learned my peerless swordsmanship and also went to learn Old Man Zhou's art of physiognomy? This is outrageous! You look down on me too much! Physiognomy is just rubbish! It's completely useless! Let me tell you..."

Su Lingfeng walked down slowly. She didn't even look at her grandfather and said to Lin Xing: "Ignore him. The two of them have always been at odds!"

Lin Xing smiled. He knew that Zhou Yixian and Su Zhe didn't get along. Presumably, the fundamental reason was that neither of them was convinced of the other's cultivation.

The Rising Dragon Sword was a sword technique that sought to find connections and break and cut them.

On the other hand, Zhou Yixian's art of physiognomy was to explore laws and associations and find the connections between all things. It was completely opposite to the Rising Dragon Sword.

The cultivation concepts clashed... It was already a blessing that the two old men didn't fight!

Lin Xing glanced at Su Lingfeng's graceful figure and praised in his heart: What a beautiful woman! Numerous thoughts popped into his mind: By relying on the connection of being a time traveler and building a relationship with Old Man Su, with the order of parents, he could... have a happy life!

"You kid,you're still laughing? Do you know that you've been deceived! Zhou Yixian's art of physiognomy can't compare to our Rising Dragon Sword technique at all! If you don't believe me, take a look at me. Can you see anything?" Old Man Su said seriously, single-mindedly trying to persuade Lin Xing to practice the Rising Dragon Sword and stay away from physiognomy...

Lin Xing chuckled, pulled the old man over, and whispered: "Old man, stop pretending. You're just a person outside of fate. I know that." After saying that, he smiled triumphantly, showing a more mysterious smile than Old Man Su.

Old Man Su looked up in shock and stared at Lin Xing: "I didn't expect you to figure this out too!"

"Not only did I figure this out, but I can also see your past life!" Lin Xing's eyes shone with extremely bright light, a look even more like a swindler than Zhou Yixian's.

"Stop bragging!" Old Man Su didn't believe it. However, regarding Lin Xing's ability to tell that he was a person outside of fate, he had to admit in his heart that this young man had great talent in physiognomy!

"You come from a blue planet!" Lin Xing closed his eyes and said slowly. The breeze blew through his hair, making it dance gently, giving him a bit of the air of a swindler.

Old Man Su's face changed drastically. He looked at Lin Xing as if he had seen a ghost. His right hand holding the sword loosened, and he almost dropped his precious sword.

"How do you know that!"

"My art of physiognomy has long surpassed that of Old Man Zhou. It's nothing to figure this out, hehe." Lin Xing boasted without hesitation, saying it calmly.

"Then, you ——" Su Zhe looked at Lin Xing, sizing him up from head to toe. He brandished his sword a few times, then frowned and thought, not knowing what he was doing.

"What, you don't believe me?" Lin Xing looked at Su Zhe. Teasing a great senior was really satisfying!

But Su Zhe completely ignored him. He circled around Lin Xing, not knowing what he was doing. From time to time, he waved his sword, and the strong wind blew on Lin Xing, making Lin Xing a little scared.

Could this old man have gone crazy after being stimulated?

Lin Xing turned his head helplessly and looked at Su Lingfeng.

Su Lingfeng let out a helpless sigh and shook her head: "Junior Brother Lin Xing, just pretend he's not here. This old man is a bit crazy."

"You're the one who's crazy!" Old Man Su suddenly came to his senses. His eyes were filled with excitement and pride, and he kept looking at Lin Xing.

"Great! Great! I, Su Zhe, have been scheming against others all my life, but today I almost fell into the hands of a younger generation! You kid!You're worthy of being my successor! You have guts!" Old Man Su said, laughing proudly. From time to time, he glanced at Su Lingfeng beside him and then at Lin Xing, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Old man, what's wrong with you ——" Lin Xing was a bit confused.

"STOP! Listen to me! You kid,you're capable. I'm your senior among time travelers after all. You're being too unkind!"

Lin Xing's mouth opened wide in surprise. A senior time traveler? How did he figure out his identity?

"You're surprised at how I figured out your identity, aren't you?" Old Man Su smiled proudly, with a deep groove at the corner of his mouth. He looked at Lin Xing, indicating "Hurry up and ask me."

"How did you figure it out?" Lin Xing was always willing to learn from others. The more he learned, the better. After all, having more skills never hurt.

Su Zhe's green sword danced a few sword flowers in the air, one after another, closely connected, like an unbreakable chain, link by link.

This was the art of physiognomy!

Lin Xing thought of this first!

In the sword technique, Lin Xing actually saw the art of physiognomy!

As Su Zhe brandished his long sword, he said: "The essence of Zhou Yixian's art of physiognomy lies in one word: association. And the essence of my Rising Dragon Sword lies in the opposite concept: cutting off!"

"Without anyone's guidance, you grasped the essence of the Rising Dragon Sword. In terms of talent, Cough cough,you're only a little bit worse than this old man. It's still acceptable. However, you haven't mastered some of the deeper applications of the Rising Dragon Sword yet."

Lin Xing listened carefully. Su Lingfeng, although she had always been disrespectful to her grandfather, was quite serious when it came to the explanation of the sword technique.

"Since the Rising Dragon Sword is about cutting off, then you have to know that the prerequisite for cutting off is to observe and find connections. So, the art of physiognomy is actually a part of the Rising Dragon Sword technique!"

"The reason why I could figure out your background is that I felt the same aura as my own from you. Fate is interconnected. As people outside of fate, when we're together, there must be an aura different from that of ordinary people, as well as various external and internal manifestations, and so on. There must be a connection between two people who are isolated by the great way of this world."

"I don't know much about the art of physiognomy. But I can still do the simplest thing of finding the connections between things with the Rising Dragon Sword..."

"Besides, what is association? It can be something predetermined or something man-made. When it comes to facing the enemy, this is another..."

"Cutting off is also a big concept. What to cut off? Moves, artistic conceptions, and even extending to the deepest level, space, time, and laws can all be cut off. Of course, Cough cough,this is just some of my hypothetical theories..."

Lin Xing listened quietly. The Rising Dragon Sword technique was rehearsed over and over again in his mind, improving at an astonishing speed. The understanding of this founder, Old Man Su, was simply too useful!!!

I don't know how long he talked for, but Old Man Su finally stopped. He looked at Lin Xing with a pair of turbid eyes filled with satisfaction: "In terms of talent, you're barely eighty percent of what I was back then! You kid!The Rising Dragon Sword technique is profound and extensive. How can it be compared to the mere art of physiognomy?"

"For a time traveler, learn the best! Give up physiognomy and specialize in sword techniques, you kid!"
