Chapter 53: Cultivating Martial Arts
"Okay, it's useless to think too much, what you need to do now is to consolidate your current cultivation, and then practice the various martial arts I have taught you. Without the cooperation of martial arts, no matter how high your cultivation is, it is just a paper tiger. ”
"Yes, master. ”
Returning to the sealing space, Zhong Hou sat cross-legged again and began to repeat the first layer of the "Basic Breathing Technique" over and over again.
The "Basic Breathing Technique" that Zhong Hou is learning now only has five layers, corresponding to the five innate realms. According to what Zhu Gangguan said, the mantra behind it has been sealed in his mind, and when he reaches the corresponding cultivation in the future, the seal will naturally be unsealed.
Similarly, Zhong Hou also sealed a lot of martial arts in his mind, as long as he reached the corresponding cultivation, these martial arts could be unsealed and he could start cultivating.
According to Zhu Gangguan, the purpose of this is to avoid Zhong Houhao from being ambitious, and I hope that he will follow the steps, start from a simple start, and slowly improve step by step.
All the high-level martial arts were made public at once, firstly, Zhong Hou didn't know where to start, and secondly, there was no process of understanding martial arts from shallow to deep, which was harmful to future growth.
"Basic Rake Technique" is the only high-level martial art that does not meet Zhong Hou's current realm and must start practicing now, because the nine-tooth nail rake needs to cooperate with the martial arts to exert its power, but Zhu Gangguan has no other rake skills, so it can only be like this.
In the following days, Zhong Hou continued to cultivate in the sealed space of Zhu Gangguana.
However, the focus of cultivation is no longer to improve cultivation, but martial arts.
This is to allow Zhong Hou to better grasp the strength of the realm after the ascension, otherwise ten percent of the combat effectiveness may not be able to exert one percent in actual combat.
Zhong Hou's first thing to learn was basic raking skills.
The basic rake skills are easy to learn and difficult to refine, firstly, the level is there, and secondly, Zhong Hou's martial arts foundation is too weak, and without a certain amount of knowledge and actual combat accumulation, it is difficult to have a big breakthrough.
The basic rake technique has a total of 12 moves and 36 styles, which is a set of peerless martial arts with both offense and defense. Offensive moves can be used for defense, defensive moves can be used for offense, and the flexible transition between offense and defense is varied and unpredictable.
Therefore, the basic rake technique can reflect the real power in actual combat, and the cultivation of oneself can only consolidate the foundation, but it is difficult to appreciate the essence of Tiangang rake.
But now for Zhong Hou, the foundation is the most important thing, and if he can't even lay the foundation, don't talk about anything else.
So, for the next three days, Zhong Hou almost didn't sleep, practicing the basic routines one move at a time. It's very stiff, but it looks pretty straightforward.
Zhu Gangguan watched while pointing out from time to time, and occasionally went down to the field to discuss with Zhong Hou in person, but of course Zhong Hou was beaten and his face was swollen. But the effect is very significant, and in a short period of time, Zhong Hou's proficiency in the use of raking skills has risen rapidly.
On the eighth day, the nine-tooth nail rake in Zhong Hou's hand was already vigorous when he waved it, the nails flickered and the handle was heavy, and it looked infinitely powerful, and even an invisible momentum emanated from Zhong Hou's body, making his whole person look more domineering.
It's no longer far from getting started.
The proficiency of martial arts does not have much to do with the level of cultivation, as long as Zhong Hou continues to hone and comprehend, it is theoretically not impossible to achieve perfection with the cultivation of the first layer of the Star Surface Realm.
Of course, training and comprehension need to be carried out in actual combat, and actual combat will inevitably lead to life-threatening situations. With Zhong Hou's current strength, he died before he could complete his rake skills.
The speed of improvement is so fast, thanks to the fact that he himself has been accompanied by a nail rake since he was a child, and his strength is several times stronger than that of his peers, learning this fierce rake technique will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.
Even when Zhu Gangguan saw it, he couldn't help but feel a trace of envy and jealousy in his heart. I think that it took him half a year to cultivate to the beginning, and this Zhong Hou has achieved this achievement in just a few days, which makes him embarrassed to be a master.
But it is undeniable that Zhong Hou is indeed a good material for making nail rakes, and what is lacking is only actual combat.
Also due to the lack of actual combat, Zhong Hou's continued cultivation of the rake technique had little effect, so he began to study other attack and auxiliary techniques.
Since Zhong Hou broke through to the first level of the Star Catalog Realm, some of the secrets that had been sealed in his mind had also been unsealed.
The contents of these secrets seem to have existed in Zhong Hou's mind innately, but he forgot them before, but now he remembers them, which feels very amazing.
It includes three secondary arts, one combat art, and one defensive art
The level of basic raking skills is too high, and it will take a long time to really succeed in cultivation. With Zhong Hou's current cultivation as the realm, these five secrets are more suitable.
The three secondary arts are:
"Concealment Technique", which can hide cultivation and one's own breath, is a necessary magic skill for pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
According to Zhu Gang's awe-inspiring statement, as long as the other party did not cultivate special spiritual secret techniques, even the strongest person in the Star Continent, the peak of the Source Star Realm, would not be able to see through Zhong Hou's emptiness.
Of course, with Zhong Hou's current cultivation, there is nothing to hide.
"Escape Technique", once activated, the star power in the body will be consumed in a short period of time, and achieve the effect of instant escape, which is an important means of saving life when necessary.
However, there will be a three-day period of weakness afterwards.
With Zhong Hou's current cultivation, he can only escape one kilometer, and he really has to face the full pursuit of some high-level cultivators, such as Feng Wuxian and other cultivation, one kilometer is just a matter of several breaths, if he really wants to escape, Zhong Hou can't escape at all.
Of course, with the concealment technique, the effect will be greatly enhanced when they cooperate with each other.
The enemy can't even figure out the direction in which you are fleeing, so how can you chase and kill.
Moreover, Zhong Hou's cultivation cannot be stagnant, in the future, if his cultivation improves, the effect of the retreat technique will be higher and higher, and the ability to save his life will naturally be stronger.
There is no division of level and proficiency for these two auxiliary skills, and the effect will only increase with the increase of cultivation. Although it will not increase the slightest combat effectiveness, it is a necessary means to walk the rivers and lakes, and its importance and practicality are comparable to those of offensive and defensive martial arts.
"Basic Body Method", a one-star gem. A way to dodge over short distances during combat. However, the speed of running long distances is not fast, and it is not suitable for rushing.
According to Zhu Gangjian, cultivators can fly when they reach the Star Mantle Realm, so there is no need to learn the kind of martial arts that are used to run long distances.
Attack martial art "Explosive Fist", a one-star gem.
Explosive Punch is an explosive martial art that focuses on how star power converges to a point through rapid flow in the body, then compresses it, and finally acts on the enemy through the fist output in an instant.
Since this process causes continuous damage to the physical body, if the physical body is not strong enough, it is simply an act of self-harm.
The physical body is like a water pipe, the star power is like the flow of water, and the star power output process is like water pressure. If the strength of the water pipe is insufficient, the water pressure is forcibly increased in a short period of time, and the end result will be a burst water pipe. Not only will you not hurt the enemy, but you will also hurt yourself.
But if the water pipe is strong enough, the impact of high water pressure can be terrifying.
Explosive punches will also become an important means of attack for Zhong Hou in the initial stage in the future.
As the proficiency increases, the Explosive Punch instantly doubles (Beginner), Doubles (Small), Triples (Large), and Quadruples (Complete) Attack Power.
Defensive martial art "Basic Defense Technique", a one-star gem.
Use star power to form a cyan armor around the body, and as the proficiency increases, the armor can instantly double (beginner), double (mincheng), triple (Dacheng), and quadruple (complete) defense.
Of course, the actual defense effect depends on the strength of the opponent's attack. The multiplier is calculated based on one's own defense power, and is not the same concept as the actual defense effect.
