Chapter 24: Snooping in the Rain
"Alright, run the breathing method to adjust the breathing. ”
Naturally, he didn't know what Yue Zheng was thinking, Xing Yuan put his hands behind his back and glanced at the sky:
"Rest for 20 minutes, continue to pile up, and do one more round to finish today's training. ”
Yue Zheng nodded, and immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, adjusted his breathing, and recovered his strength little by little.
Of course, he was still a little excited in his heart.
After seven days of special training, he finally became basically proficient in the knife technique of "Sky Splitting Knife", and the change of the words on the auxiliary panel, as well as the new small plus sign that appeared later, all indicate that this knife technique is the same as the breathing method, and it can also be upgraded with one click.
This also fully proves that his previous conjecture is completely correct, whether it is the breathing method or the move, he must at least be basically proficient before he can improve through the auxiliary panel.
In addition, what made Yue Zheng feel a little surprised was that he didn't expect that the secret book of "Splitting Sky Knife" would also have an increase in physical fitness on the panel!
Obviously, if you follow the laws of reality, thousands of times of exerting force and slashing exercises will naturally have a great training effect on cultivators. Although the increase in physical fitness brought by "Sky Splitting Knife" is not large, it can be regarded as an unexpected joy for Yue Zheng, and he doesn't need to think about it to know that if the realm of "Sky Splitting Knife" continues to improve, this value will definitely increase by a large margin.
Of course, Yue Zheng didn't plan to immediately improve the realm of "Sky Splitting Knife". On the one hand, this is because he is still in the special training period, and rashly improving the level of sword skills may be seen by Xingyuan, and on the other hand, on the other hand, there are only four points left in the Mandate of Heaven, and how to use it to maximize the benefits, he still needs to carefully consider it.
After all, from the simplest point of view, with the same point consumption, the higher the level of the improved exercise moves, the greater the benefit, and the most cost-effective solution that Yue Zheng could think of should be to first advance the basic breathing method to the third stage with 2 Mandate of Heaven points, and directly catch up with the official demon slayer of the Demon Elimination Hall, and then allocate the remaining two points to the "Sky Splitting Knife", as well as the uncultivated "Iron Body Gong".
However, whether to improve like this, Yue Zheng still plans to wait until the end of the special training to decide.
"Instructor Xing, I have a question for you. ”
At this moment, his physical strength has recovered a lot, and Yue Zheng opened his eyes:
"Do you know anything about the secret book of "Iron Body Gong"?"
"Do you want to ask if I can guide you?"
With his arms folded over his chest, Xing Yuan, leaning on the railing, glanced at it:
"You chose the Iron Body Skill, you should have cooperated with the breathing method to suppress the abnormal tissue on your forehead, right? Unfortunately, there are not many people who choose to practice Outer Martial Arts except for demons, and I have never practiced this kind of secret book. ”
Not many people to choose?
Yue Zheng suddenly said curiously:
"Why, is it because of some drawbacks?"
Xing Yuan said lightly:
"The only drawback of horizontal practice is that, in addition to being able to achieve something by studying hard for a longer time, if you want to practice to a high level, you often need all kinds of expensive medicinal baths and body washing soups to cooperate, which is a big burden for most demon slayers. Although the salary of the demon exterminator is good, in addition to the daily expenses, it is not enough to buy many supplements and prescriptions to assist the breathing method, let alone bear the cost of external strength. So to sum up, the net worth is not rich enough, and it is not suitable to practice this kind of horizontal practice. ”
It turns out that poor people are not suitable for practice, which is also too true......
At the same time, Yue Zheng was a little ridiculous.
But after thinking about it, he also knew that what Xing Yuan said was the truth. Although the benefits of the Demon Exterminator Hall are excellent, and there are various tonic medicines that are much lower than the market price open to demon slayers, they still have to rely on merit or silver dollars to buy, so demon slayers often earn more and spend more in order to further their cultivation.
"What is suitable or not depends on the individual. It is also the right choice for an unfortunate tainted demon slayer like you to choose to practice an external skill. ”
Xing Yuan thought for a moment and continued:
"Although I can't guide you, the demon slayer can also communicate and practice with each other. You can have a good relationship with a veteran demon slayer who has practiced similar external skills, and then ask for advice. For example, the old boy of Lianghu, he practiced the "Henglian Golden Bell" in the external exercises, and it is absolutely no problem for you to avoid detours with his experience and insight. ”
It turns out that Deputy Lieutenant Tiger practiced the external skill of "Henglian Jinzhong"?
So he's rich, right?
He had heard from Xu Liang that Deputy Lieutenant Hu had cultivated external skills, and Yue Zheng was not very surprised, and at the same time, he vaguely heard something from Xing Yuan's words, and he then asked:
"Instructor Xing, are you familiar with Deputy Lieutenant Hu?"
"Of course ......"
At the mention of this topic, Xing Yuan's one-eyed eyes drooped, and he said hoarsely:
"Because I am the same group of people who joined the Demon Slayer Hall as him more than ten years ago, we trained together, participated in night missions together, and promoted to official Demon Slayer together. But today, more than ten years later, he is already the lieutenant of the Demon Eradication Hall, and I am just a blind and lame person......"
It turned out that the instructor joined the Demon Slayer Hall at the same time as Deputy Lieutenant Tiger......
I don't know what kind of accident this criminal re-education officer encountered......
I never thought that Xing Yuan and Deputy Lieutenant Hu would have this kind of relationship, Yue Zheng's eyes were complicated, and then he stood up and said seriously:
"Correctional officer, although you have retreated into the background due to an accident, your contribution is by no means smaller than anyone else's. Without you imparting experience and skills to the new recruits, where would you come from to be a qualified demon slayer? In this respect alone, you are also an indispensable hero of the Demon Slayer Hall!"
Although he has been trained enough these days, Yue Zheng, who has gained a lot, has no complaints, and is even very grateful to Xingyuan.
In the past few days of training, although the other party did not smile, but his guidance in all aspects can be called dedication, especially the other party's unreserved teaching of the key to "Splitting Hollow Knife", which allowed Yue Zheng to get started with "Splitting Hollow Knife" in just a few days.
Yue Zheng didn't know what kind of depression the other party had experienced because of his physical disability, but it didn't prevent him from saying what he wanted to say.
What Yue Zheng didn't expect was that when his voice fell, Xing Yuan's one-eyed eyes suddenly looked over, and the atmosphere became a little weird.
"Stinky boy, do you think I look like someone who needs comfort?"
Suddenly, Xing Yuan smiled, and then pointed to the plum blossom pile:
"Let me start training! Let me see if your kid's kung fu on his hands and feet is as good as his mouth!"
Yue Zheng: "......"
......
Yue Zheng, who failed to escape, stood on the plum blossom pile again, and was slammed by the swords and soldiers from all directions, and then ended up falling off the plum blossom pile one after another like falling flowers.
By the time the training was over, it was already dark, and the clouds in the sky were constantly surging, as if a heavy rainstorm was about to fall. Yue Zheng dragged his aching body and first rushed to the medical office to receive a few bottles of ointment for bruises, and then couldn't wait to come to the cafeteria to comfort his injured body and mind.
When he was eating in the cafeteria, he met Deputy Lieutenant Hu, Xu Liang and other members of the Eastern Brigade who were about to go out for the night, and they also obviously noticed the changes in Yue Zheng's spirit and spirit in the past few days, and they couldn't help but be amazed by his rapid progress.
There was still a period of time in the special training, and Yue Zheng did not mention the cultivation of external skills in front of the tiger lieutenant for the time being, he said goodbye to everyone after eating like a storm, and then rushed back to the dormitory, and after resting for a while, he seized the time to continue to explore the thirty-six postures of the iron body skill, and strived to complete the introduction within a month of the special training on his own.
Time passed unconsciously, and the noise in the entire accommodation building completely disappeared, that is, after nightfall, almost all the demon slayers had gone out to the streets of the county to perform night duties.
In the muffled sound of the rumbling sky, the pouring rain poured down from the dark and deep sky, and in the empty accommodation building, only Yue Zheng was indifferent to the thunderstorm in the outside world, still slowly practicing the thirty-six postures of "Iron Body Gong" under the dim light.
What no one knew was that in the pouring rain, in the corner of the wall not far from the accommodation building, there was a pair of eyes full of malice, staring coldly at Yue Zheng's only window with light on.
"Here's ...... opportunity"
