Chapter 728: Five Confucianisms
"drink!"

Lin Yueru put the index finger and middle finger of her right hand together and pointed at Liu Jinyuan. In an instant, a sharp sword light flew towards Liu Jinyuan.

"Oh my god! I didn't expect Miss Lin to have mastered this kind of martial arts."

"Yes! Miss Lin knows this kind of martial arts. There is no way we can defeat her."

"That's right, it looks like the top scholar is going to be in trouble."

The crowd in the arena below was talking.

Lin Yueru used the Lin Family Fort's exclusive martial arts, "Qi Sword Finger", which is similar to the "Six Meridians Divine Sword", using sword energy from fingers to attack the enemy.

“Boom!!!!”

Lin Yuru opened her eyes wide and saw that Liu Jinyuan did not dodge or evade the move, but instead took it with his body.

"Indestructible?" Lin Yueru asked in surprise.

"Pfft!"

Liu Jinyuan's moon-white scholar's robe shattered instantly, turning into pieces of cloth, revealing Liu Jinyuan's upper body.

"Ah!!!" Lin Yueru and Zhao Linger shyly covered their eyes with their hands, but the gaps between their fingers were left unsaid.

"Oh my god! Are you sure this is a scholar?" the people below said in shock.

Many men looked at themselves in shame, and those with bare chests pulled their clothes to cover themselves with an extremely unnatural look.

"When did Jin Yuan develop these muscles?" Lin Tiannan asked.

"The Master said: If you have spare time after doing all your work, you can use it to study literature. Without a strong body and heroic strength, you cannot study. Jin Yuan should respect the words of the sage." Liu Jinyuan said.

Lin Tiannan's mouth twitched. He felt a headache when he looked at Liu Jinyuan who was serious. He thought to himself, "You are the top scholar, so whatever you say is what it is!"

Liu Jinyuan's sturdy physique, well-developed muscles, especially his massive chest and abdominal muscles, give people the first impression that he looks solid, tall and powerful.

That sturdy arm was previously covered under a wide Confucian robe, and no one could see his physique. Now, the clearly defined muscles were revealed, like an arm twisted with steel bars, giving people an extremely strong sense of oppression just by looking at it.

"Don't look. What's so good about a guy with strong limbs and a simple mind?" Li Xiaoyao covered Zhao Linger's eyes with his hands.

"Brother Xiaoyao, he should not be a man with strong limbs and a simple mind! He is the current top scholar in literature!" Zhao Linger said this, not knowing whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Li Xiaoyao felt like he was stabbed in the heart by these words, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Liu Jinyuan changed. It was a look that wanted to kill someone.

"Bah! You're playing hooligan!" Lin Yueru cursed inwardly. She was no longer shy at this time and her complexion returned to normal. After all, she was born in a martial arts family, so naturally she would not act like a little girl.

At first, I was simply unable to react due to the sudden change in the scene.

He used his light Kung Fu to get in front of Liu Jinyuan and swept him with his sword.

"Watch out, cousin! Look at my [Five Constant Skills of Confucianism - Righteousness]"

Liu Jinyuan's muscular arms crossed and went straight towards Lin Yueru's head.

"what!"

Lin Yuru felt a gust of wind coming, and she dodged immediately knowing the danger. But even though she was very skilled in Qinggong, she still felt Liu Jinyuan's attack following her closely.

Lin Yueru kicked the weapon rack towards Liu Jinyuan.

"puff!!!!!"

The weapon was instantly crushed in Liu Jinyuan's arms.

Lin Tiannan's face darkened, and he thought to himself, "This is a very dark hand. If Ru'er hadn't dodged quickly, his head would have been cut off by the crossed arms."

"[The Five Constant Skills of Confucianism—Benevolence]"

Before Lin Yuru could catch her breath, Liu Jinyuan grabbed her shoulder blade with his right hand, lifted her up suddenly, and grabbed her legs with his left hand and pulled them to the sides.

"what!!!!"

Liu Jinyuan was instantly awakened by Lin Yueru's scream, and immediately loosened his strength. This was also the first time he used the technique taught by Wang Ming, and he didn't know the specific effect. Lin Yueru immediately broke free and picked up the long sword on the ground. She knew that she was definitely no match for Liu Jinyuan with her bare hands.

Lin Yueru picked up the sword and immediately swung it out, with dense sword energy heading towards Liu Jinyuan.

Liu Jinyuan stretched out his hand and instantly crushed the sword energy that was attacking him, then stomped his foot hard.

"Pong"

The arena collapsed in an instant, countless debris flew everywhere, and Liu Jinyuan and Lin Yueru started fighting.

Liu Jinyuan thought to himself, "Confucius said: 'Everything is established if it is prepared; if it is not prepared, it will be abandoned.' It really is true. When fighting, as long as I hesitate, the opponent will stand up. If I don't hesitate, I can directly defeat the opponent. It's true."

He looked at Lin Yueru who was struggling to block, and sighed in his heart: "But she is my cousin, how can I not hesitate!"

･････････
Lin Tiannan was watching the fight nervously. When Lin Yueru was lifted up by Liu Jinyuan just now, he stood up to stop him. Later, he was relieved when he found that Liu Jinyuan did not kill her.

But he still frowned: "Jin Yuan has no intention of killing Ruer, but his martial arts seem to be very brutal, so I'd better keep an eye on him."

Just now, Lin Yueru was almost torn to pieces alive.

Lin Tiannan felt a headache at this moment.

As the leader of the martial arts world, he could naturally see through Liu Jinyuan's true strengths and weaknesses.

Lin Yue will definitely lose the battle if she continues like this.

Look, he's in trouble.

Because Lin Yueru and Liu Jinyuan cannot get married.

In this era, there is naturally no rule that cousins ​​cannot get married, but there are other things that restrict them.

Lin Tiannan has no son, only a daughter, so he cannot marry his daughter off and can only marry a son-in-law into the family.

but,

Liu Jinyuan is also the only son of the Liu family.

Liu Jinyuan's father was the Shangshu of the dynasty, and Liu Jinyuan himself was the top scorer in liberal arts.

Letting him marry into the family is simply outrageous.

······················
Wang Ming watched the fight between Liu Jinyuan and Lin Yuru and shook his head, "Sure enough, they can't be ruthless!"

This "Five Constant Virtues of Confucianism" was just something Wang Ming made up, and it corresponds to the Confucian virtues of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness.

They are:
Meaning: Cross your arms and chop off the head with your hands.

Ren: Split a person into two by pressing the legs or shoulder blades.

Etiquette: A sickle or other sharp weapon is hidden inside the sleeve of clothing.

Wisdom: Use sunlight and shadows to hide your body and catch the enemy by surprise.

Xin: When facing the enemy in battle, use words or tone of voice to disturb the enemy's mind and disrupt his formation.

The martial arts that Liu Jinyuan practices contain some shadows of the "Vajra Indestructible Divine Art", so he combines it with some close combat techniques and then fights directly with his physical body.

The exercises that Wang Ming taught Liu Jinyuan were, after all, a form of self-hypnosis.

Visualize the portrait of Confucius, build an image of Confucius in your mind, and then combine it with the breathing method given by Wang Ming.

That breathing technique was created by Wang Ming by integrating the idealistic mentality from "The World of the Two Heroes of the Tang Dynasty".

As long as Liu Jinyuan firmly believed in what was written in "Lun Yu" and integrated it into his own spirit and will.

He can borrow power from between heaven and earth.
