Chapter 4 Diligence
(The first update is offered, asking for support)
"Stop, what did the teacher tell you to do?"
Outside the residential area, Chen Zuoyi, Chen Wu and other clan disciples blocked Chen Zong's way and questioned sharply.
Say. Chen Wu pressed.
"What's your business? Chen Zong glanced at it, neither humble nor arrogant, and his tone was indifferent.
"You ......" Chen Zuoyi and the others' faces changed greatly, and Chen Wu even clasped the hilt of the sword with his right hand, his eyes fierce.
"Do you want to do it?" Chen Zong's eyes were sharp.
"In twenty days, it's going to be the battle for the top of the group, and when the time comes, I hope you'll be as crazy as you are. Chen Zuoyi said coldly and left with a sense of anger.
The clan hall has the rules of the clan hall, and the task of a disciple like them who has just entered the clan hall and cultivated to the fourth level of the qi and blood realm is to cultivate hard and strive to break through to become a martial artist as soon as possible, so in addition to the prescribed monthly group chief battle, they must not do it in private, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.
"Group Chief Battle ......" Chen Zong smiled slightly, his eyes like a sword: "I will let you know how sharp my sword is." ”
......
Chen Zong's life is very regular.
Every morning, he practiced the Tiger Roar Technique in the house, went to Chen Chuyun's small courtyard in the afternoon to practice the Basic Eighteen Styles and the Quick Accurate and Stable Three-Character Formula, and practiced the Tiger Power Fist Technique, the True Sword Eight Styles, the Afterimage Sword Technique, the Whisk Willow Sword Technique, and the Eagle Fencing Technique in the evening.
I don't know if it's because I've worked hard enough, or if it's related to the cultivation of the eighteen basic styles, Chen Zong found that his cultivation of the four foundation-building swordsmanship was a little different from the past, in the same realm, each sword appeared more rounded, whether it was gentle or sharp, with a kind of smoothness and naturalness.
After many comparisons, Chen Zong finally affirmed that the cultivation of the Basic Eighteen Styles had indeed helped his swordsmanship to a certain extent, and it had allowed him to continuously improve his ability to control the sword.
On the thirtieth day of the clan hall, it was exactly one month long.
In Chen Izuyun's courtyard, Chen Zong was cultivating.
His right arm was tied with a black heavy iron piece, covered under the sleeve, the heavy iron piece was not ten catties, but increased to twenty catties, the right hand clasped the hilt of the sword and raised it flat, the sword and the arm formed a straight line, and the other end of the sword hung a heavy iron ball, weighing twenty catties.
Chen Zong's eyes were level, his body was like a stake, and his arms were stretched out without moving.
One minute!
Two minutes!
Three minutes!
Soon, five minutes passed, and Chen Zong was still holding his sword flat, not moving at all.
In the seventh minute, Chen's arm trembled slightly, and he continued to hold on.
In the eighth minute, the arm muscles seemed to be about to break, and the pain was incessant.
In the ninth minute, the whole arm was numb and unconscious.
In the tenth minute, when the limit was reached, Chen Zong had to put it down and slowly stretch his right arm, let the blood and qi run and moisturize, and restore his right arm.
At the beginning of training, Chen Zong's arm weighed ten catties, and the heavy iron ball hanging on the tip of the sword was also ten catties, and he could only last for five minutes, but now his arm weighs twenty catties, and the heavy iron ball hanging on the tip of the sword has also reached twenty catties, but he can hold on for ten minutes, and the progress is very significant.
While his right arm was recovering, Chen Zong grabbed the hilt of the sword with his left hand and raised the sword flat.
Chen Izuyun didn't teach him that, it was just an idea that popped up during Chen Zong's recent training.
Usually I hold the sword with my right hand, but if my right hand is injured or for some reason I can't hold the sword temporarily, won't my strength drop a lot, so why can't I let my left hand hold the sword too?
Chen Zong began to pay attention to the training of holding a sword in his left hand, but this was very difficult for people who were used to using their right hand since childhood, but Chen Zong could overcome it.
Under the same weight, the left arm was significantly weaker than the right arm, and it reached the limit in the seventh minute and had to be put down to recover.
At this point, the right arm can be trained again.
An hour later, his arms recovered, Chen Zong practiced the basic eighteen styles with a sword, practiced with his right hand, and changed his left hand after practice, it didn't seem to make much difference, but Chen Zong knew very well that the basic eighteen styles of the left-hand practice were far from the right hand, and he still needed to continue to work hard.
Standing in front of the log beads, Chen Zong's posture seemed very casual, his right hand waved quickly, the iron sword was unsheathed, the dim sword light flashed, the egg-sized log beads trembled gently, and a sword hole appeared in the center, representing that Chen Zong had gradually entered the cultivation of the fast, accurate and stable three-character formula.
The sword light flashed again, sharp and amazing, and the second largest log bead also trembled slightly, and a sword hole also appeared in the center.
The third largest log bead!
The fourth largest log bead!
The fifth largest log bead!
The sixth largest log bead!
When Chen Zong stabbed his sword at the seventh largest log bead, he slashed past the log bead and cut a hole.
Put your sword into the sheath, adjust your posture, draw your sword and stab it!
Practice until your right hand is sore, and you can change to your left hand.
The training difficulty of the left hand is above that of the right hand, but after a few days of training, it can be regarded as quite fruitful, after adjusting the posture, a sword stabs out, directly stabbing the largest log bead, but the control of strength is not as stable as the right hand.
After three hours of training, Chen Zong said goodbye and left.
At night, in a corner of the martial arts training field, Chen Zong practiced swords.
First, use your left hand to perform the Eight True Sword Styles, Afterimage Sword Technique, Willow Brushing Sword Technique, and Eagle Fencing Technique several times, and then practice wholeheartedly with your right hand.
After twenty days of hard practice, the True Sword Eight Styles reached the peak of Xiaocheng, and the Afterimage Sword Technique and the Eagle Fencing Method reached the peak of Dacheng.
Sword Pose!
Draw the sword!
Punch the sword!
The eight styles of the real sword are interpreted under Chen Zong's sword.
Tonight, there is no moon, only the starlight is sparse, and the iron sword body is gray and black, and it is even more dim, but under Chen Zong's dance, every sword will shine with dazzling light, which is the sign that the true sword eight styles have reached the peak of Xiaocheng, and each sword light is clearly visible, dazzling, like the starlight in the dark night.
Exploding Sword Style!
The footsteps are sprinting, the back is like a dragon, and the strength runs through the arm through the sword body, a sword is fierce to the extreme, without reservation, as if it pours out Chen Zong's strength, piercing through the sky, like flying stars chasing the moon, the sword body bursts out of an incomparably dazzling light, the speed is extremely fast, and when the sword body pierces the air, countless sparks splash out, and the air is filled with a trace of anxiety.
Under the sword, a slight scream gradually spread like the tide of the sea and sky.
Chen Zong trembled, as if he had been struck by lightning, and a burst of intense numbness swept through his limbs, and his limbs couldn't help but tremble slightly.
The blood qi in the body fluctuated, and there seemed to be a tiger roar, subconsciously, Chen Zong put down the iron sword and posed in the tiger posture, eliminating all distracting thoughts, silently reciting the tiger roaring formula, and concentrating all his mind to control the blood qi.
He "saw" the red stream trickling and vibrating in a wonderful way, and there were bursts of sound like the roar of a tiger.
The blood qi flowed at an alarming speed, like a torrent bursting an embankment, gradually losing Chen Zong's control, his skin turned red, his body temperature rose rapidly, and the whole person seemed to be about to burn.
Chen Zong kept calm and tried his best to control the blood qi, I don't know if it was his own efforts or other reasons, the speed of blood qi flow gradually slowed down, until it finally returned to its original appearance, but Chen Zong found that the blood qi seemed to "look" a little different, and the color was more distinct.
"Could it be ......" A thought came to him, and Chen Zong hurriedly tried to carry his blood qi.
The blood qi accelerated and flowed all over his body, his skin was slightly red, and Chen Zong immediately felt that his body seemed to become lighter, and with a grip of his palm, a more powerful force was born in it.
The standard strength of the peak of the third layer of the Qi and Blood Realm was five hundred catties, and Chen Zong had already been familiar with it to the extreme, so he could clearly feel the slightest increase in his own strength.
That's right, under the transportation of blood and qi, his body has been strengthened in all aspects, especially the increase in strength is the most obvious, which is estimated to be about 100 catties.
In other words, he has completely refined his blood and qi, which is at least half a month earlier than he originally expected.
After refining a body of blood and qi three times, you can break through to the fourth layer of the qi and blood realm and become a martial artist.
Under normal circumstances, it would take about four months from learning the Tiger Roar Technique to the completion of the first blood qi quenching, of which about two months would be spent on the initial cultivation of the Tiger Roar Technique, and the remaining two months would actually begin to refine the blood qi.
It takes longer to refine the blood qi for the second time, at least three months, and at least four months for the third tempering of the blood qi.
That is to say, under normal circumstances, the time it takes for a martial artist with neither high or low talent to quench his blood and qi three times is nearly a year.
Those with higher talent will take less time to temper it three times, perhaps only nine months, or half a year, while those with lower talent will exceed one year and will not be able to achieve the goals set by the clan and can only be expelled.
Obviously, Chen Zong's talent is not low, and under the combination of various conditions, he has created a miracle in just one month, from learning the Tiger Roar Technique to refining his blood and qi.
"It seems that it is possible for me to refine my blood qi three times within half a year, so as to break through to the fourth layer of the qi and blood realm. Chen Zong's eyes were shining, and his heart was full of fighting spirit.
Becoming a warrior is my second goal in the short term.
Now that this goal is close at hand, it is impossible not to be excited, take a few deep breaths and calm yourself down.
Put the sword into the sheath and pose again in the sword pose.
Draw the sword!
The iron sword slashed in front of it, like a waning moon blooming in the night, and the sword light was dazzling, accompanied by a scream.
This is a sign that the Eight True Sword Styles have reached the Great Completion.
It was precisely because the Eight True Sword Styles had reached the Great Perfection that Chen Zong's physical potential was stimulated, causing the blood qi to grow rapidly, and by chance, the blood qi was out of control and accelerated, and it was tempered in the vibration of the Tiger Roar Technique.
The effect of the eight styles of the true sword is excellent, from the breakthrough of Xiaocheng to the growth of the blood of the pair of Dacheng is more obvious than the breakthrough of the tiger fist method from the breakthrough of Dacheng to the consummation, coupled with the previous afterimage swordsmanship and the willow sword method and the eagle fencing method from the breakthrough from Xiaocheng to Dacheng, under the accumulation again and again, it has created a breakthrough tonight.
Chen Zong never hyped up his cultivation progress, and even Chen Izuyun didn't deliberately tell him.
After consolidating the Eight True Sword Styles, Chen Zong looked at the sky, it should be very late, it should be late, it is time to rest, recuperate and deal with tomorrow, because tomorrow is the battle for the group leader once a month, and it is also the first battle after he enters the clan hall.
The leader of the group, he is determined to win!
