The purple bamboo forest outside Shadow Dragon Castle.

"Should I call you Master, or what?"

"It doesn't matter, the name, the title are just the so-called code names, just like your original name, and your current name, are all you, but they are different. ”

Seeing Di Zhijie say this, Di Leng also wanted to continue the discussion on this boring topic, so he wanted to start quickly: "Okay, then where do we start?"

Di Zhijie turned his hand behind his back and started his master mode, so he asked Di Leng in a mysterious way: "Tell me, what are the types of martial arts in this world?"

Di Leng was a little flustered when he was asked this, but he soon realized that it was a strange question: "This ...... The southern faction, the northern faction, this fist and that leg, what kind of knife technique, and what kind of stick technique...... There are so many martial arts in the world, how do I know?"

Di Zhijie stretched out his hand behind his back and made a gesture of three.

"Three. ”

"Aren't you kidding me?"

"It is true that there are various factions of each sect, but in the final analysis, no matter what kind of kung fu it is, whether it is heaven or earth, it is nothing more than three modes - attack, defense, and defense. ”

"Offensive and defensive ......"

"That's right, martial arts that focus on offense are relatively weak in defense, and it is easy for the opponent to take advantage of them, and focusing on defense can only sacrifice speed to achieve the best results, and people who are speed-oriented, such as those who are masters of light skills, are often unable to defeat the enemy in one move. ”

Di Leng pursed his lips, he remembered being subdued by the warden's speed type.

"You're watching!" Di Zhijie began to show off his martial arts moves. "Lion fighting, the caster will condense the strength of the whole body into the fists, exerting a high damage beyond the usual attack ability, but because the power is all in the fists, the rest of the body will be exposed to the opponent's line of sight, which belongs to the offensive martial arts; Eagle Strike, is a speed type of martial arts, this is in the opponent's defensive ability is higher than their own and the use of multi-end attack moves, the so-called multi-stage attack, that is, the opponent in a move within the time of the attack frequency greater than two moves, the three are mutually reinforcing, those real masters, is those few who can achieve the balance of the three. ”

After some explanation, Di Leng realized that his previous realm was too low......

Seeing Di Leng lower his head, Di Zhijie became more serious: "I know that this is not so fast to digest for you, but this is the foundation of the foundation, lion fighting, pictogram, and eagle strike are the basis of attacking and defending Su, you still practice these three tricks! I will demonstrate the last one to you, and then you practice by yourself, and come to test the results after three days." ”

Di Zhijie demonstrated the lion fight, pictogram, and eagle strike to Di Leng again, and told him the essentials of the moves.

For the next three days, Di Leng practiced different moves in the morning, noon, and evening, and he was not allowed to return to the castle until he became proficient, and someone brought him food at the appointed time, so he did not have to worry about starvation.

The lion's grasp is strong and powerful, but it cannot shake the huge elephant; although the elephant can stand still, it is impossible to keep up with the speed of the eagle, and there is no way to face the attack of the eagle; when the eagle approaches the lion, there is a high probability that the lion will be pounced, and there should be no resistance to the lion's attack.

The concept of the three basic moves was easy to figure out, and it was only a matter of time before Di Leng wanted to master them.

Three days later, Di Zhijie appeared on time.

There was another person who came here with Di Zhijie, this person was short, with a stiff waist and a pimple on his face that would make people unbearable, he was holding a dragon-shaped cane, staring at Di Leng with disdain.

"This is a Rorschach real person, a warlock, let him put your training to the test today. Di Zhijie introduced the entourage to Di Leng.

"Come on. "Di Leng is ready to fight.

"It's not me fighting you. "Rorschach is a real person wielding a dragon crutch, and there are words in his mouth.

Immediately afterward, the dragon crutch emitted bursts of black gas, condensed in mid-air, and gradually formed a black hole.

"Are you ready?" asked Rorschach.

"The enemy never asks me if I'm ready. Di Leng did not dare to relax in the slightest.

Rorschach slowly lowered the dragon crutch, and out of the black hole came a male lion, then an elephant, and an eagle......

Di Leng didn't expect the Shadow Dragon's primary test to be so cruel, but at this moment, he could only bite the bullet!

The lion pounced, and Dileng used the pictogram, but the real lion power was very terrifying, and Dileng was still slapped away by the lion.

The eagle soon attacked, and Di Leng counterattacked with a lion fight, but the real eagle was faster than ordinary people, and the lion fight was useless.

Deleng decided to deal with the elephant first, and he quickly rushed to the elephant, regardless of whether it was an orthodox eagle strike or not, and slammed his fist into the elephant's body like a storm, with the result that the elephant did not react, ignoring Di Leng 's attack.

Di Leng took out a knife and stabbed it on the elephant, the elephant screamed, rolled up Di Leng with his nose, and threw it into the air, the eagle took the opportunity to attack, and hit it in a series of hits, and when Di Leng was about to land, the lion rushed over again, and it was a powerful slap, which made Di Leng completely faint.

......

When he woke up again, Di Leng was already lying on the bed, he walked out of the door and came to the courtyard, where Di Zhijie was waiting for him.

"Wake up......," Di Zhijie greeted.

"Ah...... What a miserable loss!" Dileng laughed to himself. "It seems that you still left me a hand. ”

"It's a feature, and you have to suffer a little bit to know what the problem is. Di Zhijie said. "Although you have mastered the basic movements of lion fighting, pictograms, and eagle strikes, you still don't understand the essence of martial arts. ”

"The essence of martial arts?" Di Leng was puzzled.

"The essence of martial arts, in the final analysis, is the use of qi!" Di Zhijie explained to Di Leng. "Qi, is the hidden energy in the living body, whether it is strength, courage, vitality, righteousness or evil qi, it belongs to qi, and even spiritual power, and the spells used by warlocks belong to the movement of qi. Qi can push the abilities of living beings beyond their limits. ”

"It turns out that Wang Gang and I before me are only staying at the stage of using brute force...... "Di Leng was enlightened.

"That's right, you don't use qi to perform moves, the qi you feel is not qi, it's just normal muscle tension. Di Zhijie added.

"So, how exactly can you use qi?" asked Di Leng.

"To use qi, you must first perceive qi, you can't even feel the existence of qi, how to use it?" Di Zhijie asked rhetorically.

"Sensing Qi ......" Di Leng thought for a moment, he closed his eyes and began to feel, but he didn't find anything.

Di Zhijie pointed to the river in the distance: "You try, feel it, the fish and shrimp in the river, if you can't feel it, just imagine it." ”

Deleng closed his eyes again, and his mind began to think of the scene in the river......

Sludge, biological, garbage...... There are all sorts of things in the river.

Di Leng sat on the ground, and the cold wind of Lidong blew into his ears, and he felt the breath of the wind, followed by the squirrels in the purple bamboo forest, and the breath emitted by the rocks under the lapping of the waves.

Soon, however, beads of sweat were left on Dereung's forehead, for he thought about the death of his family, the death of the warden, and the condition of the Shadow Dragon......

"It seems that you haven't slept well yet, and you still have a lot of anxiety, so let's stop it tonight. Di Zhijie said that he could let Di Leng go back.

"No, I'm going to stay here, I'm going to feel the existence of Qi!" Di Leng was unwilling.

"Okay, you can stay here by yourself, I'll go back to sleep......" Di Zhijie finished speaking and left.

For Di Leng, he couldn't delay any minute or second of cultivation time, only by perceiving the existence of qi faster could he get the approval of the shadow dragon and understand the true situation of the shadow dragon.
