Chapter Seventy-Six: The Grandmaster (I)
In the woods, Xu Huang was introducing his cultivation experience to Yan Zhanshu: "In the axe road, I, Xu Huang, can be said to be a grandmaster, at least in the Han Dynasty, no one can compare to me. What I can explain to the great sages and good teachers is the use of the axe. β
"Wait a minute!" Yan Zhanshu interrupted Xu Huang's words: "I mean, I'll introduce my physical condition first, you can help me plan, I should cultivate that kind of weapon, how to cultivate, in order to become a grandmaster in seven days!" β
"Achieve a Grandmaster in seven days?!" Xu Huang looked at Yan Zhanshu as if he was looking at an idiot, but considering Yan Zhanshu's identity as a great sage and mentor and the fact that he was originally just a strategist, he still didn't scold, but just asked Yan Zhanshu rhetorically: "What are you a grandmaster?" β
Yan Zhanshu saw that Xu Huang's eyes changed, and knew that he had misunderstood, so he explained: "I know that it is not easy for a grandmaster to achieve, but after I killed Lu Bu, I did feel the opportunity to enter the path of the grandmaster. Here's my situationβ’β’β’β’β’β’"
"That's the case, that is to say, Great Sage and Good Master, your body has reached the innate threshold, and now you only need to have the attainment of a weapon to break through to the Grandmaster, and you can be driven to break through to the realm of the Martial Arts Grandmaster?" Xu Huang began to pace from side to side, thinking hard: "What weapon can reach the Grandmaster in seven days?" It's so simple, don't everyone go to practice? β
"I've heard that the Year Knife, the Moon Stick, the gun of a lifetime, does it only take one month to practice the stick to become a grandmaster?" Yan Zhanshu thought of a sentence from the future and asked.
"Who said that?" Xu Huang's eyes widened, "But it seems to make sense, I practice the axe because my body is strong and can swing the big axe, of course, it is also through hard training to wield it freely, to become a grandmaster, it takes time to accumulate, countless times of experience in using the same kind of weapon, and the tempering of bloody battles." With the physique of a great sage and good teacher, maybe there is a weapon? But seven days is still too short. Xu Huang seemed to think of something, but considering the seven days, he still shook his head and denied himself.
"What did you just think of?" Yan Zhanshu asked and looked at the task requirements carefully, it seemed that it was not to make himself a grandmaster, but to find the most suitable martial arts path for himself, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, that's right, otherwise it would be too ruthless.
"Great Sage and Good Master, your talent is that of a strategist, right?" Seeing Yan Zhanshu nodding, Xu Huang asked again, "What is the specific effect?" I'd like to consider which weapon will make the most of your talents. β
"My talent is a trick, and when I use it, all enemies with lower intelligence than me will inevitably fall for it!" Yan Zhanshu felt that his talent really had nothing to do with martial arts.
"Is that so?" Xu Huang's eyes lit up, in his opinion, the great sage and good teacher himself is a very strong strategist, and there are only a handful of strategists who can stand side by side with him, not to mention the military generals: "That is to say, as long as the great sage and good teacher you move, the enemy will inevitably be scheming." β
"That's not right!" Yan Zhanshu suddenly thought of the restriction and explained: "I can't use the natural skills of a strategist in battle, which I can't do at the moment!" Only the spiritual power shield can still be used, and the others are just a powerful person who doesn't know martial arts. This is also modest, after integrating Lu Bu's martial arts experience, in fact, Yan Zhanshu only needs to be familiar with it to become a martial arts master, but what the road to the grandmaster needs is innovation and development, and if you follow the old path of others, you will not be able to become a grandmaster, which is also what Yan Zhanshu knows from Lu Bu's memory.
"In that case, what shape is that psychic shield? Is it round, or square, or does it flow like water? Xu Huang was also curious, so he asked.
"Round? Square? Or does it flow like water? Yan Zhanshu was inspired by Xu Huang's question, "Why have I never thought about this question, other strategists don't think about it, it's because their strength is very low, and they can't and dare not fight, but I'm different, my strength is enough to be proud of the world, this shield is not just a turtle shell," the spiritual power flowed, feeling the shape of the shield change according to his own mind, Yan Zhanshu's face showed a smile: "It turns out that you can do this!" Hahaha! Gongming, you really woke up the dreamer with a word! β
"The great sage and good teacher have won the award!" Xu Huang said humbly, but asked curiously, "Could it be that this shield can really flow like water?" β
"What about flow?" Yan Zhanshu began to expand the shield up and down, left and right, and found that the limit could only last up to a diameter of three meters, and no matter how big it was, it couldn't hold it up. Then he stretched and extended the spiritual power shield like a tentacle in one direction, and it turned out that it could be extended to a little more than twelve meters, which should be ten points of spiritual power that could support the length of one meter.
"Gongming, you come and test the strength of this spiritual power tentacle, first attack with your hands, then use weapons, I want to really test its extreme effect." Yan Zhanshu stretched out his spiritual power tentacles to Xu Huang's chest and poked him, startling Xu Huang a lot, reflexively jumped back, and made a defensive posture - he only understood after hearing Yan Zhanshu's explanation.
"Such an attack distance," Xu Huang was also surprised, and curiously followed Yan Zhanshu's request. "Use three points of force first." Xu Huang reminded, and then punched out, "It's like hitting an iron bar, it's very uncomfortable." β
When Yan Zhanshu heard this, he tried to thin the tentacles, and reminded: "I have thinned the tentacles this time, you may be injured, try it with the branch next to you." β
Xu Huang broke off a branch and swept it continuously, although the branch was broken, but Yan Zhanshu found that when the tentacles were attacked, his brain was also constantly impacted, as if someone was constantly shaking himself, "Well, can it only be the most stable if it is circular, and it can completely disperse the force to the surface of the entire shield?" β
Seeing that Yan Zhanshu's face was not good, Xu Huang knew that something was wrong, and stopped the temptation: "In this way, it will hurt you?" β
Yan Zhanshu was also very depressed, condensing the shield into the shape of a tentacle, he had to maintain a high degree of mental concentration at all times, and his mental power was also rapidly depleting. In such a state, a few seconds are okay, but after a long time, the mental power is exhausted, and the shield disappears, which is obviously not a trick that can be used as a normal use, and it is almost the same occasionally as a yin person.
"Great Sage and Good Master, can you pick up a weapon with your spiritual power tentacles?" Xu Huang thought of an idea, "If you can, transform a few more tentacles, isn't it as powerful as the mythical three-headed and six-armed, who can beat you alone?" Or roll up the meteor hammer and sweep through it, or grab a weapon and get behind your opponent in a big fight. As he spoke, Xu Huang felt terrible, sneering and waving his hand, "I mean, don't take it seriously." β
