Chapter 413: Teaching and Exploring
Zhang Fan, whose spiritual power was no longer comparable to ordinary people at this time, had certainly learned some superficial skills in Dongyuan, especially iron-striking related to martial arts, boating skills related to long-distance travel, stone and wood techniques, etc. Generally speaking, it takes at least thousands of hours of serious training and labor or even more than ten years for a person with intermediate qualifications to build on one skill, and it takes decades for a person who is proficient in multiple skills to have a certain talent. However, for Zhang Fan himself, this is not the case. Although Zhang Fan is not proficient in some skills, because of his good control and understanding of the general experience and knowledge taught by some top craftsmen, he can barely be qualified to accept apprentices.
For many Ecstasy Continents, where people's livelihood and economy are very withered, Zhang Fan adheres to the principle of "if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools", after becoming familiar with the language in this area, he selected more than 1,000 women who have reached the top level of martial arts and even internal strength to reach the realm of first- and second-rate masters to teach him the art of smelting and forging.
It should be or this place was not an uncivilized barbarian department after all, and there are female craftsmen who know how to mine and even smelt iron, but many of the techniques and even means are far from being comparable to those in Dongyuan and other places.
Zhang Fan demonstrated the general principle of bellows making in front of one of the smartest women in handmade and practiced. is different from ordinary ordinary people, when the skills can be much stronger than Zhang Fan's first-class threshold second-rate peak level internal skills, many things that are very difficult for pure laymen to do become relatively smooth. In the hands of someone who really has a certain amount of skill, the wood seems to be as easy to process as clay or even tofu, and many things are also twice as effective with half the effort.
"I mentioned the principle of the bellows, and the rest depends on whether you can draw inferences from each other and try to produce a larger and stronger bellows. The blowing of these bellows does not necessarily require all manpower. Harnessing the potential energy of water, like a waterfall, is also one of the most important ways to do it... As for your iron-making furnace, I've seen it in general. The furnace temperature is obviously not enough, and I know what the reason is. The fireproof mud in the furnace is not pure, it should be processed and trial-produced in this way, I have seen some stones like this when I passed by... ”
In this way, from the improvement of the hydraulic blast to the iron-making furnace device, Zhang Fan passed on a lot of what he learned to the relevant female craftsmen here, because the other party was not a layman, and it seemed that he was more flexible than the old craftsmen in many places in Dongyuan Kyushu, so he did not let Zhang Fan spend too much effort.
In addition to the most basic metal smelting, Zhang Fan also told some of the more intelligent women with certain skills about some of the empirical characteristics he had learned. Including hot and cold forging, some tips when quenching, etc. Those female craftsmen do not seem to have the same conservative and old-fashioned mentality as the craftsmen of Dongyuan Kyushu, perhaps because the usual treatment is not good enough, and the accumulated experience is not enough, but when Zhang Fan rearranged some basic systems and mechanisms, and taught a large number of skills and contents, some people can even feel the look of interest and excitement rarely seen among the craftsmen of Dongyuan Kyushu.
Zhang Fan also advised: "A better life should not come from the struggle for power and profit, and the wealth from such sources is not reliable." The foundation of food, clothing, and shelter is still to rely on one's own ability to use nature and tools. Among them, the smelting and even processing of iron tools is the top priority. Therefore, from now on, I do not want the masters of the art of harming people in this land to be far higher than the skills of craftsmen, and those who can create benefits should have the same status. I have prepared some methods for the distribution and even the new system of rewards and punishments for work, and I believe that it will not be long before you will be able to shake off the fatigue of the past and live a completely different life... ”
In addition to basic iron smelting, Zhang Fan also imparted a lot of knowledge and technological innovation to people in this area, who seem to be lacking in these aspects. And a series of systems and policies were reformulated, allowing a large number of martial artists with a certain amount of internal skills to study and work together with excellent craftsmen, and to expand the scale of new apprentices as much as possible.
Of course, Zhang Fan understands that even if the talents and abilities possessed by those martial artists lead to many fewer detours and save a lot of time than ordinary people in these jobs, it is impossible for the technology that has spread out to truly transform the ability of the entire place.
In the past two or three years, Zhang Fan has also modestly been an apprentice who can control himself, and his identity can even be said to be like a female slave to some extent, and it is the girl in white who is called Yun'er by Zhang Fan who teaches him some first-class level internal exercises, and she was also the number one master on the Lost Soul Continent in the past.
Zhang Fan's skills are not weak, especially under the extremely strong spiritual power bonus, Zhang Fan can even think: even if he doesn't use unique spells and doesn't know some special exercises, there should be no second-rate master who can win the upper hand over himself one-on-one in a prepared martial arts competition, unless he uses some evil ways and other means.
However, when fighting with this No. 1 master girl in the Lost Soul Continent, even if the other party does not use any "foul" means, it is just a bare-handed fight. Zhang Fan can also feel the huge gap between the two sides. This gap is not even weaker than the gap between a practitioner with ordinary qualifications who has practiced martial arts for five years and an ordinary amateur who has no foundation. Although Zhang Fan can accurately perceive the position of the girl anytime and anywhere, and knows very well whether he can effectively hit after shooting, but in terms of footwork maneuverability. The difference between having a first-class level internal force bonus and not being very good at oneself in terms of unique internal force maneuverability is very obvious.
Although Zhang Fan and the woman chased and dodged, it seemed that Zhang Fan had the upper hand, but Zhang Fan could sense that the other party was always able to control his body on the edge of being able to effectively strike just one or two inches apart, in this case, if the other party wanted to fight back, it could be said that he could cause trouble to himself anytime and anywhere.
"I'll allow you to strike appropriately, and just don't make me fall to the ground on the spot too badly, or at most just stop, just like the suppressive effect I did on you when I fought back with my spell... Of course, Zhang Fan is not inferior. Even if he was knocked to the ground to the point where he couldn't move his whole body, and suddenly seven or eight clouds appeared in different positions, it would still be in his palm.
"Yes, be careful, my lord, I'll start when I count to three... Of course, Yun'er knew the difference in the internal strength of the two sides, so her tone was still respectful.
When Yun'er began to shoot, Zhang Fan thought that with his extraordinary martial artist's vision and judgment, the other party might not be able to use his own skills under the premise of good competition, especially when some simple hidden weapon methods could not be used, but he still underestimated the advantage of a first-class master over himself in hand-to-hand combat.
When Yun'er counted to three, his body seemed to flash to one side abruptly and unconventionally, although Zhang Fan turned around as hard as he could at this time, he didn't expect that the other party's entire body seemed to be completely free from inertia and even some basic joint principles to expand and maneuver, like a swimming fish, easily slashed a place between his ribs with his fingertips.
The art of acupuncture points exists in this world. It's just that if it weren't for the huge disparity in martial arts between the two sides, few people would use it under normal circumstances. Because for ordinary martial artists, this is something that requires quite high accuracy and even just the right amount of strength to do. It is simply difficult to do it in a confrontation of the same level, but when Zhang Fan has a huge gap between his basic skills and the opponent in close combat, it is a completely different matter. The girl's fingertips only swept slightly, but Zhang Fan could feel the unique internal force like a slingshot that burst out of thin air, making her entire right side of her body seem to be paralyzed in a large area for a while, and the severe pain also made her whole body shake violently. However, it seems that just as he asked before, Na Yun'er did not let Zhang Fan completely fall under this blow after all.
Subsequently, Yun'er roughly launched a shot according to Zhang Fan's requirements, and tried her best to control and exert her strength, so that Zhang Fan had a chance to have at least three or four percent probability of being able to react and intercept successfully. The positions of his body being attacked gradually increased.
Of course, Zhang Fan did not do this to find abuse, but to stop and think about consolidation, targeted perception, at least let him have a deeper understanding of some basic cognitions inside his body that he had rarely studied and perceived before.
Later, at Zhang Fan's request, Yun'er also told some basic internal skills, but after really communicating with Zhang Fan in this regard, he found that Zhang Fan, a second-rate top-notch master who was obviously inferior to himself, was so lacking in many basic martial arts knowledge, and couldn't help but feel surprised. Zhang Fan didn't mind that.
“。。。 One of the important thresholds for entering the innate is actually that after the core two veins begin to really break through, how to freely master the operation of the invisible internal force in the body, and there is no obstacle at all in terms of entry and exit. If you have the opportunity, you should ask those who really have considerable skills in Higashihara Kyushu... ”
Yun'er still underestimated Zhang Fan's own understanding to a certain extent, and it took only about ten days to think about it, and Zhang Fan had already gone from being a layman to basically having a more comprehensive understanding of some basic internal principles.
It would take at least a few years for an ordinary genius martial artist to step from the second-rate peak level to the true peak of martial arts. This still refers to those martial arts geniuses and not ordinary people, but Zhang Fan, with his unique wisdom at this time, seems to have begun to think of using some of his means at this time to test ways to assist in the cultivation of internal strength.
In this way, when Zhang Fan began a small retreat in the stone room to explore his practice, he began to try to use his unique perception and mental control ability to return to himself with the mana that can be released, and use the law to assist the internal force in the body to strengthen some channels in the operation of the internal force.
At first, Zhang Fan could even feel some sense of danger that his unique sense of danger could bring to him, and it was obvious that some behaviors were extremely dangerous. But after less than a day or so of adventurous temptation, this assistance became more and more smooth to stand up. Although Zhang Fan used mana to accurately apply some meridian channels in his own body, although it would be accompanied by a small amount of pain, there was no longer the unique sense of danger that he had before, and the cultivation itself became much smoother than normal. Zhang Fan can roughly calculate that maybe in a year or so, there may not be the obvious gap between himself and Yun'er as it is now.
However, at this time, Zhang Fan also had a faint sense of fallacy, even if he could really improve his physical strength to the level of a first-class master, but so what? For his real combat effectiveness, even the ability to face some unique desperate natural dangers is not much help?
When he felt this, Zhang Fan did not continue to retreat, but meditated carefully, and seemed to be unable to think of anything for an hour. Some of the methods that I want to do are rejected by myself in the estimation. Although his external spell energy release ability is very strong, it seems that he can't really find a way to transform this energy into his own action force for a while.
After a day and night of meditation with no results or even an accurate direction, Zhang Fan was somewhat frustrated, so he found Yun'er again for a purely physical and mental competition. Yun'er didn't show much willfulness at this time, and after guessing Zhang Fan's purpose, he didn't do it as hard as before, but also suppressed his external performance at the second-rate peak level, and even let Zhang Fan, who seemed to have made some progress, gain the upper hand in the confrontation, and repeatedly mastered the initiative to attack as if Yun'er was embarrassed.
However, of course, Zhang Fan knew that all of this was just pretending, so he said: "I think, as the name suggests, the Lost Soul Continent shouldn't be so clean in martial arts, right? Even if there are no poisonous Gu or hidden weapons in the body, there should be some other unique methods, at least it can deal with people whose real skills are far inferior to themselves?"
Zhang Fan said this, and Yun'er finally stopped being polite at this time.
