Chapter 90: The Knight's Arena
In fact, Neijiaquan was not originally created for fighting, but to find a new path after the aura of heaven and earth disappeared and all cultivation paths were cut off. Although this kind of thing sounded like a myth, it was already the last hope of the cultivators at that time, and one can imagine what kind of potential they could burst out in such a desperate situation.
Simply put, Neijiaquan has surpassed all exercises in terms of potential development and power control, so no matter how high your cultivation is, you can't ignore the role of Neijiaquan.
Yan Xu is the same, after Master Shaolin Xuanku gave him internal strength, it opened a new door for him, so that he could get a bridge to integrate the inner fist and the inner kung fu, after all, the inner fist is from the outside to the inside, and the inner kung fu is just the opposite, from the inside to the outside, Yan Xu cultivates both, internal and external attack, and the entry is naturally not ordinary fast.
Most of the inner boxing is in the qi and blood, and the moves and things are not so important, because the qi and blood are insufficient, the fists and feet are naturally weak, even if you know how to do all the boxing techniques, at most massage people to relax the muscles and bones. Those heavyweight boxing champions have practiced kung fu, but you dare to say that he is weak in his fists and feet, not because they are naturally angry and bloody, like a humanoid bull.
Yan Xu also started from the qi and blood, as the breathing gradually deepened, the transportation of qi and blood became faster and faster, constantly washing the internal organs and strengthening the function of the internal organs. It wasn't until the five internal organs were burning that Yan Xu stopped, returned to the source, and calmed the qi and blood.
Then without waiting for the qi and blood to be completely calm, he started to punch again, this punch and foot seem to be slow and fast, and the moves contain the power of thousands of catties, such as the overlord carrying the ding, the wrestler moving the mountain, the King Kong subduing the demon, the Arhat descending the dragon, integrating what Yan Xu has learned, including the thirteen Taibao horizontal practice of the golden bell jar, the wrestler moving the mountain scripture, the golden bell jar, the dragon and the elephant gong and so on.
Yan Xu is not a rookie now, and retaking it many times not only allows him to grasp what he has learned more thoroughly and deepen his foundation, but also gradually understands his own path. Coupled with many adventures, his knowledge expanded quickly, and he began to have the idea of reorganizing what he had learned, wanting to integrate the power of the Dragon Descending Elephant Gong, the defense of the Golden Bell Jar, and the magic power of the Lux Moving Mountain Sutra into one.
Now there is a small success, the strength of the whole body is gradually integrated into one, regardless of the internal force, true qi, fighting energy, gang qi, all of them are transformed into similar physical concurrent strength, with the golden fire supernatural power, when the force is as hard as steel, the attack is like a volcanic eruption, the iron fist is like a hammer, the strength is like fire, the momentum is like thunder, once it erupts like thunder god striking iron, it is unstoppable, and the momentum is extremely amazing, Yan Xu regards it as a killer weapon, and it is easy to never use it.
It is not an easy thing to create a martial art, even if there are countless divine martial arts foundations, it takes a long time to accumulate and polish, so Yan Xu stopped after practicing his fists and kicks and carefully felt the reinforcement received everywhere in his body, so as to facilitate the next modification.
With a light breath of turbidity, Yan Xu's hands naturally drooped, ready to practice knife techniques.
Although Yan Xu is better at punching and kicking, it is undeniable that the importance of weapons is undeniable, not to mention that he has taken the path of one force to ten guilds before, and he is naturally invincible in the face of human beings with his physical fitness, but now the enemies he is about to face are not only human beings, and it is impossible for him to guarantee that his strength will always be able to defeat his enemies. What's more, if he faced a dragon, even if his strength was better than that of a dragon, the sheer size alone would make him unable to do anything.
Therefore, Yan Xu not only began to pay attention to weapons from scratch, but also started the flow of skill and speed, so as to completely give full play to his advantages to the limit.
The two horizontal knives made of green steel are four feet long and weigh twelve catties, which are carefully built by Lao Jian in accordance with Yan Xu's requirements.
It's not that there are no knives in this world, but only a few special professions or races will use them, and there is only one kind of scimitar, which is very monotonous, because all the needs of various types of swords have been met, and naturally there is no need for knives to replenish them.
From short swords for personal protection, to the most common one-handed swords, to two-handed swords that need to be used with both hands, as well as peculiar light swords, stabbing swords, armor-piercing swords, single-edged swords, slashing swords, etc., which meet all the needs, and naturally do not need the appearance of knives.
Yan Xu once guessed that the main reason was because the enemies faced by the two sides were different, the earth did not have the diverse races and ridiculously strong creatures in this world, and the vast majority of the enemies faced were of the same kind, just looking at the history of mankind is equivalent to the history of war.
The sword is not practical on the battlefield of tens of thousands of people, because it is not conducive to chopping, and once it is pierced too deep, it will be difficult to pull it out, which is extremely deadly on the battlefield, and a delay is the difference between life and death. The knife is different, although the lethal effect is not as good as that of a sword that can directly pierce the internal organs, but the huge wound and bleeding volume are still enough to make the opponent lose combat effectiveness on the battlefield, and the next fate is naturally needless to say.
The most important thing is that the use of knives is very simple, and even an ordinary person who has not undergone a single training knows how to use a knife to cut people. The sword is different, the use of skills is too complicated, and without years of sword practice, it is not as good as a watermelon knife.
The Otherworld, which is too vast and has an undominant population, as well as many alien races and powerful monsters, dooms humans to be unable to focus all their energy on infighting before they are strong enough, and their main enemies are still non-humans.
The tenacious vitality and strong physical fitness of aliens and monsters lead to the fate of ordinary humans who are basically cannon fodder, since they are cannon fodder, naturally no one will pity them, but in order to maximize the value of cannon fodder, powerful weapons such as axes, spears and swords have gradually become the mainstream, at least let the cannon fodder cause enough lethal damage to the opponent before he dies. Therefore, the strong people who rose from the bottom were more familiar with these weapons, and even if they slowly formed a system and profession later, they did not change.
After a psychological struggle, coupled with some preparation, when Lu Ye pulled the reluctant Mog here, he happened to see Yan Xu suddenly move, and with a flower in front of him, two green steel single-edged swords appeared in the hands of the other party, and then the green mangs continued to intertwine in the air like silkworms, weaving into layers of nets, the most terrifying thing is that the two did not hear a trace of breaking the air, which means that the two of them know best, the other party is not only a weapon master, but also a top swordsman.
Pieces of fallen leaves were swept into the wire net, twisted into pieces and sprinkled on the ground, which was naturally shocking to outsiders, but for Yan Xu, this was nothing, it could only prove that his sword technique was not yet complete, and he did not completely control his strength.
For the strength shown by Yan Xu, Mog was the most shocked, because he himself was a rare professional fast swordsman, known for his incomparably sharp attacks in advance and retreat, not even inferior to the agility of thieves, but in the face of the strength shown by Yan Xu, he only had a sense of powerlessness.
A knight who can be equipped with heavy armor has such delicate skills and terrifying attack speed, which is simply not easier to deal with than a dragon, coupled with the mysterious physique that is not afraid of alchemy potions, Mo Ge completely dismissed the plan to make a move on Yan Xu, but he just didn't know what Lu Ye thought.
Thinking of Green Field's character, Moge, who was slightly uneasy, turned his head and looked at it, and suddenly felt relieved.
"How can this guy be so strong!" Mog judged Yan Xu's strength through his own eyes and experience, but Lu Ye, who has the blood of elves and green dragons, relied more on instinct. When Yan Xu's breath was restrained, she naturally didn't feel anything, but now when she started it, although it only leaked a trace of breath, it was enough to let Lu Ye, a stupid woman who relied more on instinct to act, know that such a character was not something she could afford to provoke at all.
Yan Xu, who can gain strength from the earth, does not have physical problems, but too much, Yan Xu understands that cultivation is accumulated over time, so he stopped after dawn and returned to the Green Cloak Hotel, where there is a whole table of breakfast waiting for him than yesterday, obviously some people are still very aware of current affairs.
In Yan Xu's eyes, the two of them are much more normal, except that the profession of the proprietress and the tour guide has not changed, Lu Ye has brought some obviously not ordinary jewelry, and Mo Ge has also changed into a tight suit, and at the same time wears two swords, one long and one short, obviously no longer hiding his strength.
After eating, Mogg continued to take Yan Xu to visit Bose City, such as the Temple of Courage, the Knight's Cemetery, the Knight's Arena and other famous places, so that Yan Xu's understanding of the world became more and more in-depth.
The Knight's Arena is a large building built by the Bosch family for decades, not only inviting dwarves to design it, but also inviting multiple mages to reinforce it at a high price, which can accommodate 4,000 people at the same time to watch the game, which is already very remarkable for this backward world.
However, looking at the boxy knight arena, Yan Xu always had an awkward feeling, but hearing the cheers inside, Yan Xu shook his head and took Mog into the venue.
The entry of nobles is free, and at the same time, a different number of servants can be brought in according to the different titles, even if Yan Xu is the lowest-grade lord, he is still eligible to bring a servant in.
Mogg touched his nose, although it was not the first time he came to the knight's arena, but it was the first time he came in as a servant, but it was not that he had never been a servant when he disguised his identity before, and Mogg did not look embarrassed to follow into the arena.
The whole arena was full of festive atmosphere, but with a bit of fanaticism, and many local residents or people from other places took part in the event, and everyone was fully engaged, and from time to time there was a roar of chagrin or ecstatic cheers, and judging by the wooden sticks they waved in their hands, they were participating in an ancient activity, gambling.
As aristocrats, they naturally do not need to stay with commoners, they have a special venue, which occupies a quarter of the entire arena area. Yan Xu doesn't need someone to lead the way, it's right to go to the place with the least people and the most glamorous dress.
