Chapter Seventy-Four: Goal: One Sword and One Hundred Strikes!

When Lin Xiao woke up again, he found that he had returned to his own room in the inn, the room was very warm, the old and airy windows and door cracks had been repaired, the hard and cold bed that had been sleeping for more than ten years had also been replaced with the softest animal hair and quilt, and there was a stove in the room, which was designed by Lin Xiao when he saw Tang Dou in the workshop, not only warm, but also not worried about charcoal poisoning.

"Sister Xiao, you're awake!" A cheerful and childish voice rang in his ears.

Lin Xiao turned his head to look, and Tinker Bell, who was dressed like a festive baby, had a sugar cube in his mouth, and greeted himself indistinctly: "Sister Xiao, you're awake." Brother Tang said that you will go back to the workshop after you wake up. But Sister Xiao, why did you go to the workshop? Ding Dong can't see Sister Xiao and Brother Tang anymore! ”

The little girl has a little entanglement, although she has been very sensible since she was a child, she didn't make noise because of this, but the loneliness of not seeing her relatives can't be resolved.

"Because my sister is an adult, an adult has a job." Lin Xiao turned over and patted the little girl's head.

"Like what we do at home? But why not do it at home? Tinker Bell pursed her lips, looking even more dissatisfied.

"Because there are a lot of things that can't be done at home. You'll understand when Jingle Bell grows up! Lin Xiao got up and put on the maid outfit, looked left and right, and found that the "flickering light" was also placed next to the bed, and picked it up, feeling the special touch from the hilt of the sword, and the previous memories came to his heart again.

In the face of Tang Dou's amazing "momentum", Lin Xiao was desperate for a while because of fear, but the sword that broke out in the end also made her soul have a kind of sublimation. She vaguely felt that she understood something, and although she couldn't describe it in words, the feeling was real.

"Sister Xiao, Sister Xiao. You're in a daze! Tinker Bell saw Lin Xiao looking at the sword in his hand in a daze, and couldn't help but shout.

"Oh, oh, sister was just thinking about something. My sister is going back to the workshop now! You obediently listen to your father and baby at home! Lin Xiao admonished.

Ziying is the silent young man who went to Lin Xiao with Xiong Fang, and he is the most shrewd one in a group of little ghosts except for Lin Xiao, although he is silent, he is a guy with a bright heart, and he may even be the only one who has seen through the awkward relationship between Tang Dou and Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao packed up, chatted a few words with Zhou Dong, chatted with her younger brothers and sisters, and then went out of the city, halfway she found that someone was following her, but surprisingly she didn't panic, just quickened her pace slightly, and half an hour later, she had already returned to the workshop.

At this time, there were more than 200 slaves under Tang Dou, and it was difficult for him to go to Poland Street to choose them in person, all according to Tang Dou's requirements, regardless of health, regardless of age, as long as they were honest enough, and they were not so stupid that they couldn't learn the bamboo weaving process.

Now in Poland Street, Tang Dou's matter has spread, and the people in the whole block are looking forward to being selected by Tang Dou, before Ming Nan said Tang Dou, he chose Manda and a few people to go back to do publicity, and the effect was excellent, when Ming was difficult to choose people, there were more than 2,000 people in line, almost everyone in the entire Polish block.

Of course, according to Tang Dou's request, those gangsters who were powerful on Poland Street were confiscated, although these gangsters were resentful, but they didn't dare to make a mistake in front of the quicksand gate, and could only watch with envy and hatred as those who were casually oppressed by them on weekdays were selected. The only thing they could do was to target the rest of the people as hard as they could, and there was nothing they could do otherwise.

But then Ming Nan sent his men down to say hello, nothing else, but if someone was killed, then don't blame the quicksand gate for making a move. Now the "waste" that no one wanted before in Poland Street has suddenly become a sweet treat, and with a little training, it can come in handy. If it weren't for the limited number of people Tang Dou received, Ming Nan would have planned to pack up the entire Polish Street.

When Lin Xiao returned to the workshop, Tang Dou had just finished training the new batch of slaves, but in fact, there was no need for Tang Dou to do any specific training now, except for the few people he selected to make Seiko, the rest of the people were trained by Manda and others. He, who is a slave owner, only needs to show up when the newcomers come and show his attitude.

The first thing that every newcomer to the workshop did was to cut down the bamboo, and then repair the house, because it was the house he wanted to live in in the future, so these slaves worked very hard. Those who are physically ill or disabled will exchange an internal contribution called "points" for other people, and exchange their future labor for the help of other slaves - of course, if they meet someone who is willing to help for free.

It's just that people who come out of a place like Poland Street can't meet a single person like this in a hundred, so basically you can't meet such a person. The three of Manda are very willing to help others for free, but the three of them are now equivalent to middle-level rain cadres under Tang Dou, and they are all doing management things, so they really can't spare time.

"Yo, Pepper, you're awake!" Tang Dou saw Lin Xiao return and greeted him with a smile.

"Me, qualified?" Lin Xiao thought about a lot of what he wanted to say when he saw Tang Dou again, but when he really arrived in front of Tang Dou, all the words were replaced by this worried sentence. She was afraid that she would be unqualified, and she was afraid that she would be eliminated by Tang Dou.

"Qualified? Do you think you're qualified if you stab a sword and faint before you can hit your target? Tang Dou had a smile on his face, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes.

Lin Xiao's face turned pale, and a wave of despair rose in his heart: "So I ...... Knocked out? She clenched the hilt of her sword tightly, wondering if she should return this flickering light to Tang Dou.

Tang Dou's cold gaze suddenly turned soft, and he pointed to a row of hundreds of dummies tied up from thick bamboos on the side: "Today's task is to stab 10,000 times!" If you can't finish it, you won't have anything to eat. Also, you have to use your brain, you can't just use stupid strength. ”

After speaking, he took out another arm cover with a pale golden color: "This is something that restricts your soul power, wear it, you can't use any soul power to practice until you can meet my requirements!" ”

Lin Xiao took the armgear in a daze, gestured for it, and found that it was worn on her right hand, so she put it on, and immediately felt that her soul power was suppressed to the point where she could barely sense it, and then she looked at the hundred bamboo people again, and swallowed: "Ten thousand times?" Good! I'll do it! ”

"Remember, use your brain!" A smile appeared on the corner of Tang Dou's mouth. Lin Xiao was very familiar with such a bad smile, so it was certain that this hateful guy was going to play tricks on himself again.

Sure enough, when Tang Dou left, Lin Xiao picked up the flickering light and stabbed the first sword at a bamboo man, he knew that he had been trapped. The damn bamboo figure had runes painted on it, a kind of rune that reflected the force of a blow. At the same time that Lin Xiao stabbed out a sword, a completely abnormal reaction force was fed back along the flickering light, so shocked that she almost couldn't even hold the flickering light, and was pushed by the force of the countershock with an exclamation.

How extravagant is a bamboo figure with runes drawn on it.

Lin Xiao himself had studied runes, of course he knew what a qualified rune needed, even the simplest temporary rune needed a material like demon beast blood. For such a bamboo man who had no cost at all, it was a shameful waste to still make runes on itβ€”of course she didn't know that Tang Dou was using a completely new system that he himself called "Chinese character script", and it was almost zero cost.

With the anti-shock rune, Lin Xiao's first sword was considered a failure. Although she also felt that she could trickily say that as long as the stab was a sword, she couldn't deceive herself like this, she knew very well that if she wanted to become stronger, there was no point in deceiving herself like this. Tang Dou only told her the tasks and goals, without any guidance and supervision, which in itself means that everything depends on her own understanding and consciousness, if she doesn't work hard, then who will help her work hard.

After moving his wrist, which was a little numb, Lin Xiao took a deep breath and stabbed out with a sword again.

Syllable!

The same countershock force is seen again. This time, the force used by Lin Xiao was greater, and the power of the shock was also greater, and the flickering light could no longer be held, and it fell to the ground all of a sudden.

Lin Xiao's face changed, even if she hadn't cultivated, she understood what it meant for a soul cultivator to be knocked out in battle, her face was ugly, she picked up the flickering light, and gritted her teeth again and stabbed a sword unconvinced, but this time she used very light force.

The force of the shock was indeed lighter, but such a bayonet sword had no meaning at all.

What should I do?

Lin Xiao bit his lip and lowered his head in contemplation.

I don't know how long it took, she was suddenly awakened by a loud noise, and when she looked up, she saw Tang Dou not far away, holding a bamboo branch there to play with a sword. I saw Tang Dou raise his hand casually, and the bamboo branch in his hand burst out with thousands of emerald green flashes, and a sword stabbed out, but it was a hundred blows at the same time. The bamboo man in front of him suddenly burst out with a strong anti-shock light, but it was swallowed up by the emerald green flash on the bamboo branch in an instant.

Syllable!

The bamboo man exploded in the emerald green flash, turning into rotten bamboo pieces on the ground.

Then a slave stepped forward and replaced Tang Dou with a new bamboo man. Tang Dou took out the Tianma bone bamboo pen and made a gesture on the bamboo man, and the ordinary bamboo man immediately glowed with the light of mysterious runes.

Lin Xiao was dumbfounded, recalling everything just now in his heart, and his mind suddenly sobered up, including what Tang Dou had said to him before.

"The skill of the bayonet is all about attack, it's about speed. Replace defense with offense and make up for defense with deft pace! ”

"Where is the point of the bayone? Fast, accurate, spiritual! The opponent's attack is ferocious, you can dodge flexibly, the opponent's defense is strong, you will drown the opponent with a fast and accurate attack, one blow is not enough, then a hundred blows, a hundred blows are not enough, a thousand blows. Until your attack can devour the opponent! ”

With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Lin Xiao suddenly understood the meaning of Tang Dou letting him do such an exercise.

Lin Xiao's hand let go of the hilt of the flickering light, closed her eyes, and slowly adjusted her breathing, after a long time, she opened her eyes again, her gaze became firm and persistent, when her hand once again held the hilt of the flickering light, the feeling of tightness that rose from the beginning to the end of the day came to her heart again.

"Work with me!" Lin Xiao said secretly in his heart, then instantly drew his sword, stepped forward, and stabbed out five swords in an instant.

When the first sword collided with the bamboo man, the power of the anti-shock came as scheduled, but before the power of the anti-shock could be exerted, the next four swords also arrived.

Bumper Bumper!

The sound of successive impacts, each attack had the power of the shock back, but the further it went, the weaker the power of the shock became, as if it had been suppressed by Lin Xiao's attack.

Syllable!

After the fifth sword, Lin Xiaohou's strength was uninterrupted, and she was once again bounced away by the force of the shock, but this time, she held the hilt of the sword steadily, stabbed the sword in her hand, and did not move at all.

"I call it stacking. Uses the power of the shock to stack with repeated collisions to increase attack damage. The attack method of the bayonet sword determines that it is a speed weapon, although it has the world's martial arts, it can break everything, but it is fast. But it's useless to be fast without attack power. Only fast and hateful is king. The bayonet sword is not suitable for a single output of powerful power, but on top of this stacking technique, it can multiply the attack power. Tang Dou didn't know when he appeared behind Lin Xiao and said softly.

"The first step in your mission is to strike a hundred swords in an instant. When you can sword out fifty, I can let go of the blockade of your soul power, and when you can strike a hundred sword strikes, you will be considered to have completed the first step! ”

Tang Dou finally didn't completely let Lin Xiao fend for himself, and more or less did what a mentor should do. Although he wouldn't give Lin Xiao a specific cultivation method, he still had a goal.

Instant Hundred Swords, this is not something that ordinary people can do, even if they start cultivating since childhood, and now they can't do this with a silver level soul cultivator like Lin Xiao. It's not just a matter of skill, it's talent.

Lin Xiao didn't feel the difficulty because of this, but became a little excited: "The first step you said, then the second step?" What about the third step? ”

"Oh? Do you want to know in advance? Hey, too! Tang Dou turned his hand and took out a bamboo branch, raised his hand and stabbed it out with a sword.

Syllable!

With a sword, the bamboo man was completely smashed into powder, but the bamboo branch in Tang Dou's hand also turned into powder, and he pouted without a trace: "Do you understand?" If you understand it, you will have the answer, if you can't understand it...... I don't have the heart to explain it to an idiot! ”

Lin Xiao was so angry that he turned his head not to look at this slut, but just carefully looked at the smashed bamboo man. Tang Dou was far away before, and she didn't feel it clearly, but now that Tang Dou was in front of her, she naturally found that Tang Dou's sword just now didn't use any soul power. But if you only use strength, it is almost impossible to beat this bamboo man with anti-shock runes into powder with a single sword, and Lin Xiao also believes that Tang Dou will not use any tricks and feet to fool himself.

So there must be something wrong with the repayment just now.

Although the problem could not be seen from the results, Lin Xiao could analyze it from Tang Dou's previous words.

"One sword, one hundred blows, you can do that. But just now he seems to have only made one sword, can he do it with just one sword? No, even if it can be done, it is not a sword stabbing skill. So how did he do it? One sword, one hundred blows...... Hiss...... Don't? ”

Lin Xiao's gaze became stunned.

One sword, one hundred blows! A Hundred Swords in One Blow!

These eight fonts were deeply imprinted into her mind in that flash of inspiration. (To be continued.) )
