Chapter 471: Chapter 470 Master Yuan’s Real Trouble

And it was clear that it wasn’t over yet.

Wang Hao paced leisurely around the room with his hands clasped behind him. Then, looking up towards the sky, he recited in one breath—

"Breaking Spear Style, includes the methods of countering long spears, great spears, snake spears, eyebrow sticks, Wolf Fang Clubs, wax rods, staffs, shovels, and other types of long weapons. Breaking Whip Style breaks whips, flails, acupoint rods, hooks, Emei Spears, daggers, axe boards, iron tags, octagonal maces, iron spikes, and other short weapons. Breaking Rope Style breaks long ropes, soft whips, nunchakus, chained spears, iron chains, fishing nets, flying hammers, meteor hammers, and other flexible weapons."

"Breaking Palm Style breaks the martial arts techniques of fists, feet, fingers, and palms. If the opponent dares to confront one’s sharp sword with bare hands, they must possess an exceedingly high level of martial arts. Whether there’s a weapon in hand or not, the difference is minute. With numerous boxing styles, leg techniques, finger strikes, palm methods, this Sword of Breaking Palm Style encompasses long boxing, close combat, grappling and acupoint, devil claws, tiger claws, Iron Sand Divine Palm, and various other kicking and punching techniques."

"Good! That’s an idea!" At this moment, Master Yuan’s eyes were as bright as 200-watt lightbulbs as he loudly praised, "This approach has never been seen before, good!"

Next, Wang Hao recited the last part of the sword technique—

"The Breaking Arrow Style, the word ’arrow’ here encompasses all kinds of hidden weapons. When practicing this style, one must learn the skill of listening to the wind to identify weapons. Not only must you be able to deflect various hidden weapons launched by the enemy with a single sword, but you must also use the momentum to strike back, turning the enemy’s weapons against them."

"The ninth move, Breaking Qi Style, is purely conveyed through oral doctrines and training methods. It is designed to face an enemy with high-level Inner Strength. Comprehend it with clarity, house it within a single-minded heart."

"Dugu Nine Sword, advancing without retreat! To triumph with ’no technique’ over techniques, every move is an attack, forcing the enemy into a defensive position. Although it is but a single sword and a single form, its variations are endless, ethereal and elusive, baffling the adversary!"

"Dugu Qiubai, Dugu Nine Sword!" After Wang Hao finished this last sentence, Master Yuan clapped his hands non-stop and praised, "To triumph with ’no technique’ over techniques, every move is an attack, forcing the enemy into a defensive position! The theory behind this swordsmanship is truly unprecedented, good! Insightful and imaginative!"

At this point, Li Chuang was utterly shocked as well!

This Wang Hao, damn, he could really talk, couldn’t he?

Director Deng and his crew exchanged glances—Shit, what’s up with this youngster? Where did he get such an awesome theory?

Never mind whether this kung fu actually existed or not; the key point was that it sounded badass!

What’s crucial in making a film? Isn’t it all about looking cool? Who cares whether the kung fu is authentic or not?

"So this setting for Dugu Nine Sword," Wang Hao said with a cheeky smile and a raised eyebrow, "not bad, huh?"

"Indeed, not bad," Master Yuan stood up and paced around the room twice with his hands clasped behind his back, saying, "To triumph with ’no technique’ over techniques, every move is an attack, forcing the enemy into a defensive posture! Good, very good indeed, and the name is excellent!"

Now that they had brought out such impressive material, it was naturally time to discuss the serious matter.

Li Chuang said, "Master Yuan, would you say our sincerity is clear now? So, should we discuss the serious matters next?"

"Well..." Master Yuan sat back down, and now his gaze towards Wang Hao was different. He asked, "This Dugu Nine Sword, is it the martial arts being used in the movie you’re filming?"

"Yes," Wang Hao nodded, "It’s the main character’s martial arts."

"This set of martial arts is surely very challenging," Master Yuan pondered for a moment, then frowned and said, "If I’m not wrong about your techniques, the protagonist won’t engage in a head-on clash with the enemies when wielding the sword, but will instead specifically seek out their weak points, right? Filming such martial arts won’t be easy."

No shit, Sherlock. If it were easy, would I even need to come to you...

"There’s no doubt about Master Yuan’s ability," Wang Hao said with a beaming smile, and asked, "Does this mean you agree? About the payment..."

"Hey, don’t rush," Master Yuan hesitated quite a bit this time, and with a sigh, he finally said, "To be honest, I’m really tempted by this film. But truth be told, it’s not about the payment. Some time ago, I met a Geomancy Master while going out. That master told me not to venture out lightly this year for fear of facing a grave misfortune with bloody consequences—and it would be no small calamity but a severe disaster. If things go badly, it could even cost me my life. If it wasn’t for your Dugu Nine Sword catching my interest, I wouldn’t have even mentioned this to anyone."

Holy shit, there’s that reason too?

Director Deng had already understood by now that even if Master Yuan did decide to come out of hiding, it was very likely he wouldn’t join their crew. After all, all present were colleagues who would inevitably cross paths with each other, and he could only step back and try to make a good impression for future assistance. He quickly asked, "Master Yuan, did that Geomancy Master perhaps exaggerate a bit? Our Heavenly People’s Republic may not boast about anything else, but our safety is indeed very secure."

The people around him nodded vigorously, "Right, right, did that master perhaps speak too gravely?"

"Not at all exaggerated, absolutely not," Master Yuan sighed, "Ever since that Geomancy Master told me, I’ve been very cautious. And just a few days ago, I was just walking within this residential area, not far from home, when out of nowhere a stray dog came at me and bit me! Look," as he spoke, he rolled up his trouser leg to show everyone. If people looked closely, they could still see several teeth marks on his leg!
