The accumulation of countless quantities, just for the sake of qualitative leaps, only by stacking bricks and tiles, can skyscrapers be built, and the same is true for martial arts!

On the night of the full moon, Fenghe Ranch, in the martial arts training ground.

Ye Heng was adjusting his breathing, and in front of him was a large iron ingot weighing a thousand catties.

"Try again, this time you must succeed!" Ye Heng secretly encouraged himself. Since the first snow fell, Ye Heng had finally completely ended his grass cutting career, and Lao Shi had focused his cultivation on strengthening his body. Only by breaking through to the samurai level and reaching a certain strength can the body withstand the operation of spiritual power, so that the spiritual power can be released and the combat effectiveness can be greatly improved. And the ball of spiritual power in Ye Heng's dantian has been compressed to the extent that it is almost solid, such a huge amount of spiritual power, the strength of the martial artist's body is obviously not enough to support the operation of spiritual power and even release it! And Ye Heng's sword technique is also a small achievement, once the spiritual power is used in it, his combat power will definitely increase exponentially!

Therefore, quickly improving his physical fitness and breaking through to the warrior rank as soon as possible has become Ye Heng's top priority at present. Ye Heng a month ago was already a high-level martial artist, as long as he went further, he would be able to step into the warrior level, only by becoming a warrior could he turn his spiritual power into use, and he could be called a martial artist in the true sense.

In the past month, Lao Shi has formulated a careful cultivation plan for Ye Heng, and practicing according to this set of plans has almost squeezed out all of Ye Heng's potential, so that he can feel that his body is getting stronger every day, and the improvement of his strength is even more obvious!

The people of Fenghe Ranch were surprised to find that Ye Heng, who rarely appears in the martial arts training field, has been soaked here for a day in the past month, and all kinds of exercise props have been played by him in different ways, many of his ways of playing have appeared in front of people for the first time, some people have learned to practice out of curiosity, and found that different ways of playing have a great effect on the muscles of different parts, so gradually more and more people are practicing with Ye Heng. Of course, those who persist have unexpected gains, you must know that this is a cultivation method formulated by a martial arts master, if there is no effect at all, it will be a strange thing!

Ye Heng tirelessly dealt with these bulky iron bumps every day, rushed to hug them before dawn, and was reluctant to part in the middle of the night, under such unremitting pursuit, the strength was finally moved by it, and Ye Heng finally slowly captured the heart of the strength at all!

Now the weight of a thousand catties is a very easy thing for Ye Heng to lift, I saw him grab the big iron ingot with both hands, squat slightly, and straighten his waist, the big iron ingot was easily lifted over his head, and then Ye Heng straightened up his body and began to attack the samurai step again! The first hundred meters were very easy, but the further back it was, the more difficult it became. After 200 meters, sweat began to appear on his forehead, his heart began to beat faster, and his arms began to tremble. Many previous attempts have become tricky from here, Ye Heng knows that the time has come to let go and fight, the next 100 meters is the key, and he must grit his teeth and get through!

Ye Heng stopped, slowly adjusted his breathing, relaxed the muscles of his body, and then took a deep breath, sank into the dantian, and stepped forward again! Although he felt that the weight of the iron ingot was getting heavier and heavier, Ye Heng still gritted his teeth and held this breath, striding forward, not daring to relax in the slightest, once this breath was vented, this attempt would definitely fail again!

The promotion of a martial artist, every level, every level is very difficult, without the spirit of fighting, it is impossible to move forward in adversity! Therefore, Ye Heng is now fighting, the whole body is overforced, the blood vessels have begun to skyrocket, from the face to the neck are red, every step forward in the legs, you can see that they are trembling violently! At this moment, what is fighting is not only the physical endurance, but also the mental endurance! After experiencing many repeated failures, repeated defeats and battles, this time, Ye Heng won the fight!

When Ye Heng's feet crossed the horizontal line at a distance of three hundred meters, the feeling of powerlessness after prostration instantly invaded his heart, his body leaned forward, and the big iron ingot fell with the trend, only an inch away from smashing on the surface of his feet! If he did, these feet would be crippled! But Ye Heng was so tired that he was almost in shock now, and he didn't notice this detail, otherwise he would have been scared!

Although he was so tired that he almost fainted, Ye Heng knew that all this effort was worth it, because from now on, he had advanced to become a warrior! The joy of advancement filled his heart in an instant, and he forgot all his tiredness with excitement!

Finally, on this night when the moon and stars are scarce, Xiangyunzhuang quietly added another warrior, which is insignificant to thousands of warriors, but what kind of shock will this warrior bring to Xiangyunzhuang and even the entire Shuntian Empire? No one knows yet.

At this point, we will explain a little about the test of the three lower steps, whether it is a martial artist, a samurai or a martial artist, it is based on lifting the specified weight and moving forward the specified distance, but there is one condition, that is, the tester must stride forward! A warrior not only has basic requirements for strength, but also attaches more importance to the durability of strength and the toughness of the body and will, and a person without toughness is not worthy of becoming a true warrior! If the toughness is not enough, even if he can become a warrior, his achievements will inevitably be very limited, and he will not go far on the road of a warrior.

The heart is tough, and at the same time, when the physical strength reaches a certain level, you can learn the corresponding martial arts. The body is the basis for learning martial arts, and without qualified physical conditions, it is impossible to practice the corresponding martial arts! This is also the fundamental reason why only when you reach the samurai level can you learn advanced martial arts and can you release your spiritual power.

Ye Heng dragged his tired body back to his residence, fell on the bed, and after a while, he snored thunderously! Although the old stone had never accompanied Ye Heng during his cultivation, he was paying attention to Xiao Ye Heng's progress all the time. Ye Heng's hard work was seen in his eyes, and the latter's eyes were not only relieved or relieved, with his eyes, how could he not see Ye Heng's changes, how could he not know what kind of pain Ye Heng was suffering while becoming stronger! Although he was very distressed after seeing Ye Heng's fatigue, he was really for Ye Heng's good, but he still tossed Ye Heng every day to exhaustion.

The world is so wonderful, people who are really good to you will often deliberately make you suffer some hardships, and follow your temperament, let you act recklessly, such goodness only indulges your ignorance, indulges your shallowness, and the final result often makes you happy for a while and regrets it for a lifetime.

It is not an easy thing to endure hardships and hardships, and if you want to get ahead, it is obviously far from enough to put in these efforts! Old Shi walked to Ye Heng's bed, gently covered him with a quilt, looked at it quietly for a while, and quietly retreated. After gently closing the door, he began to think about Ye Heng's next cultivation method.

The next day, when Ye Heng got up early and was about to continue practicing as usual, Old Stone appeared in front of him and brought him into Old Shi's room.

The old stone looked at Ye Heng with a solemn expression, and only spoke for a long time before he spoke: "Ye Heng, unconsciously, you have been coming to Fenghe Ranch for a year, judging from your current situation, this is all I can teach you, the foundation has been laid for you, and you will have to walk by yourself in the future, whether it is a dragon or a worm, you can only see yourself!"

Ye Heng seemed to have a premonition of something, and a wave of sadness hit his heart.

"Speaking of which, I didn't teach you anything, just that you kept cutting the grass. Old Shi smiled self-deprecatingly, and continued: "I really want to teach you all the martial arts I have, and at the same time, I am also sure that your achievements will definitely be better than mine! I also want to find a good apprentice to inherit the mantle, but if you do that, no matter how good you do, you will only be the next Shi Baoshan!"

Hearing this, Ye Heng knew that the old stone's real name was Shi Baoshan, and he didn't interrupt the old stone's speech, but secretly remembered the name in his heart!

"But I can't do that, I can't ruin you for my own selfishness, because your understanding is the highest of all the juniors I have ever seen, and you will definitely be able to find a path that suits you most in the future, and if you teach you too much, it will become a constraint for you!"

Ye Heng listened quietly, and there was already an undercurrent surging in his heart!

"Ye Heng, for the next step of cultivation, you go to the Red Flame Wolf King, there is not much room for you to improve here!" Old Shi hesitated again and again, and finally said his decision: "Clean up today, tomorrow the younger generation of the ranch will enter the Great Yang Mountain Range to practice, you can go with them." ”

After saying this, the old stone seemed to suddenly become even older. Looking at the old man in front of him, thinking about getting along day and night for more than a year, thinking about the meticulous care for himself for more than a year, thinking that he has been better than his relatives for more than a year, and now he is suddenly about to separate, Ye Heng has repeatedly controlled it, but he still can't control it, and tears gushed out of his eyes like spring water. No matter how hard and hard it was when practicing, Ye Heng had never shed a single tear, but now just a few words of parting touched the softest string in his heart, making him unable to help himself!

It's the man who doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place!

The old stone gently stroked Ye Heng's head, and said slowly: "The path of a martial artist is not easy to walk, you must stick to it, but whether you succeed or lose, no matter what, you have to live, remember?"

"Hmm!" Ye Heng just muttered with his nasal cavity, he didn't dare to speak, he was afraid that as soon as he opened his mouth, he would cry uncontrollably.

"Before you leave, Grandpa Shi will give you a gift!" After the old stone finished speaking, a long knife as black as ink appeared in his hand, only the blade flashed as white as snow, and the style was exactly the same as the long knife Ye Heng used in his cultivation: three feet and three inches long, straight down and up arc, thick back, broad blade, blade, and pointed head.

"This knife was obtained by accident when I was young, so I will give it to you as a portable weapon! But there is one thing you have to remember, this knife is too domineering, don't use it easily, you will see blood when you move, you know?" Speaking of the back, the old stone's expression became more and more serious, the reason why he cultivated to be destroyed and hid in this Xiangyunzhuang was because he snatched this knife back then and was injured by the master, so he had to do so. Now, he gave Ye Heng this treasure knife that he had worked so hard to get, which shows how deep his love for Ye Heng is. Of course, Ye Heng didn't know this, he only knew that Grandpa Shi was good to him, just like his own grandfather.

"Thirty years of faint edge, once out of the sheath, the world is shocked! Treasure knife, treasure knife, soon you will plunge into the sea of blood, stirring the world, these more than 30 years, I have wronged you!" The old stone stared at the treasure knife in his hand, muttering, as if responding to the old stone's murmur, the cold light at the blade flashed, and the cold air was pressing! The old stone stretched out his left hand, and an extra pitch-black scabbard appeared, put the knife into the sheath, and sent it to Ye Heng.

He respectfully took the treasure knife with both hands, knelt down on his knees and thanked the old stone, then he stood up, slowly drew the knife out of the sheath, and gently held it, when his fingers crossed the blade, a faint light flashed at the center of Ye Heng's eyebrows.

After all, it is a child's heart, and he was sad and crying just now, but now he is holding the treasure knife, and the more he looks at it, the more he likes it, he can't help but be overjoyed, and asked crisply: "Grandpa Shi, what is the name of this knife?"

"I don't have a name, but now I'm giving it to you, you can decide the name yourself. ”

"That'...... I haven't thought about it yet, let's talk about it later!" Ye Heng thought about it again and again, but didn't find a suitable name, so he put the matter down.

"Then you can prepare today and leave tomorrow. After saying that, the old stone turned around and walked away quickly, but a bright light suddenly welled up in the cloudy old eyes.

Ye Heng's things are very simple, just pack up and finish with a burden. Then walk out slowly and wander throughout the ranch. Walk past the warehouse where the forage is stored, the training ground in full swing, and the stable where the horses are kept in captivity...... Every place he was familiar with, and finally, to the stables where the ten BMWs he had been feeding all the year were. Now there are two more horses here, two young horses born in the summer, one as white as snow and without a trace of stray hair, and the other as red as blood, like a fluttering red cloud. Since birth, Ye Heng has been taking care of them.

As soon as the two ponies saw Ye Heng, they jumped and ran towards him, hugging this lovingly, touching that lovingly, Ye Heng's heart was full of reluctance. In the end, the best horse feed was selected, sweet spring water was brought in, and the two little ones were fed, and Ye Heng reluctantly turned away.

In life, no matter what the reason, there will always be something that will be lost after all, even if this loss will make the whole world empty.

At night, Ye Heng interrupted the medicinal bath that he had insisted on for a year, Ye Heng knew that in the past year, he could cross the martial artist from an ordinary child and become a warrior, in addition to his own efforts, it was inseparable from the medicinal bath that Lao Shi provided for him every day. In the past year or so, he didn't know how many medicinal materials he had used and which medicinal materials he had used, but he knew that medicinal materials were very scarce and expensive in the Tianshun Empire, but for the past year, the old stone had been providing them without interruption. The medicinal bath not only helped him strengthen his body, but also made the spiritual power ball in his dantian more and more solid, and now it has doubled in size, getting closer and closer to a solid state.

The old stone silently did a lot for Ye Heng, even if he usually put on a cold face, Ye Heng also knew that it was deliberately pretended by him. The old stone was clear in his heart for his good Ye Heng, and he didn't thank him for his kindness, he could only bury this gratitude deep in his heart, and wait until he would repay it ten million times in the future.

At the time of parting, Ye Heng cleaned the whole house, boiled the water, washed the clothes and quilts for the old stone, and took a bath for the old stone.
