Chapter 30: Li Wu's First Sword
In the blink of an eye, another five days had passed, and Li Wu had mastered the fire technique in the "Five Elements Yin and Yang Decision".
Li Wu found that although his cultivation had only improved slightly, and he had not broken through to the Blue Mang Realm Dacheng realm, the true qi flow in his body had mutated, becoming more violent and agitated, and the qi released outside his body had also changed, and the sharp rays that erupted from the palm of his fist were as bright and scorching as blue flames, and could even explode the void in an instant.
What's even more amazing is that when he releases his cultivation, a faint pale blue halo will appear on the surface of his body.
Li Wu knew that by cultivating the Five Elements Yin and Yang Decision, he had already endowed his body with the true qi attribute, that is, the fire element attribute.
Once a martial artist is endowed with the attributes of the Five Elements of True Qi, although there may not be a breakthrough in cultivation, the True Qi in the body will become more pure and condensed, and when fighting against the enemy, the Qi released into the body will also become more lethal.
As for the light blue halo that appeared on the surface of his body when he exercised, it should be the prototype of the legendary body protection Fagang.
As a martial artist, if you cultivate the Body Protection Fagang, your defense ability will be greatly improved.
Of course, only monks above the Silver Pill Realm could possess the true Body Protection Fagang.
Under normal circumstances, if it weren't for the special body or coincidence, it would be impossible for a Mang-level monk to cultivate the Body Protection Fagang.
Even if there are a few Mang-level cultivators, a faint halo appears on the surface of their bodies when they perform exercises, it is only the prototype of the body protection method.
Although the prototype of the Body Protector Fagang also has a certain defensive ability, the defense level is very low, and it is not worth mentioning at all compared to the real Body Protector Fagang of monks above the Yindan Realm.
Through the cultivation of the Five Elements Yin and Yang Decision, Li Wu endowed his body with the attribute of the True Qi and Fire element.
Now he has a free way to collect and release the true qi in his body, and he can even use the qi to kill enemies at close range.
Six days later, the Child reappeared in the cave.
The Holy Infant said to Li Wu: "Master, although you have completed the refining of the true qi of the physical body, you have never practiced how to use your own cultivation to control weapons. As a Mang-level realm cultivator, if you can't use your own cultivation to control weapons, and fight against the enemy with your physical cultivation alone, you will have great limitations, and you will even be controlled by others everywhere. Therefore, the Holy Child suggested that the master should immediately start cultivating and controlling weapons, so as to obtain stronger combat power. ”
Li Wu understood that the reason why the Holy Infant said "controlling weapons" instead of "using weapons" was because the use of weapons by monks above the Mang-level realm had reached the point of being superb, beyond the cognition of ordinary people.
It is said that many high-ranking monks can even sacrifice their weapons in the air and control them to fight enemies from a distance.
Through the last experience in the Shenlong Mountain Range, Li Wu had already discovered that with his current cultivation in the Blue Mang Realm, if he had another weapon in his hand, his combat power could be increased by at least thirty percent on the existing basis.
However, with his current cultivation, he does not yet have the ability to "control weapons", so he can only start cultivating from the use of weapons.
In "Five Elements Yin and Yang Decision", there are not only methods for refining the true qi of the body, but also methods for cultivating weapons.
In other words, a martial artist can not only fight the enemy with his bare hands with the qi released into the body, but also inject his true qi into the weapon and use the sharp edge released by the weapon in his hand to fight the enemy.
Releasing True Qi through weapons is equivalent to invisibly increasing the attack distance of the warrior.
It is worth mentioning that releasing the edge through weapons is not an innate ability of martial artists, and it must be mastered through a lot of acquired practice.
Li Wu said to the Holy Child: "But there are so many weapons in the world, I don't know what kind of weapons are suitable for me!"
The Holy Child said: "It doesn't matter, any weapon is fine, as long as it is a weapon that the master likes." ”
Li Wu thought for a while and said, "I like knives. ”
Although the stick is the ancestor of a hundred soldiers, the sword is the head of a hundred soldiers, and the gun is the thief of a hundred soldiers, but in terms of personal preference, Li Wu prefers the knife.
The reason why the stick is called the ancestor of a hundred soldiers is because the origin of the stick is the earliest, and primitive people have been using sticks as weapons.
The sword, although the production process is exquisite and decorative, but rarely used in actual combat, the ancient battlefields of the past dynasties, you can see the army and soldiers using knives and guns everywhere, but no one has ever seen what the "sword soldier" is like, which shows that the sword is not a real combat weapon.
The reason why the sword is called the head of a hundred soldiers is because the sword was first worn as an ornament worn by princes and generals.
Throughout the history of human cold weapons, the symbolic meaning of the sword is far greater than the significance of actual combat.
The knife is completely different, and the appearance of the knife was invented solely for the needs of combat.
There are short, medium, and long knives, and they can be used by both generals and soldiers.
Moreover, whether it is on the earth or in the cultivation realm, the history of the sword is enduring, and its light has almost illuminated the entire history of cold weapons of mankind, and it is even irreplaceable.
The knife is the real king of cold weapons and the real king on the battlefield.
Although Li Wu mainly focused on sanda and free fighting in his previous life, when he was in the juvenile sports school, he also studied Chinese martial arts, not only proficient in various schools of boxing, palm and leg techniques, but also dancing with knives, guns, swords and other martial arts equipment.
His favorite weapon was the sword, because he felt that it could be stabbed, sharpened, chopped, and slashed, and it was infinitely powerful.
Although the sword is also very good, the sword is more than strong and lacking, and it is more suitable for being an ornament worn by the son.
Even after becoming famous, Li Wu has always maintained a hobby of collecting war knives.
Compared with the war knives of all dynasties and the scimitars used by the horse people, Li Wu has a soft spot for the standard sabers of the Tang Dynasty, including horizontal knives, barrier knives, and Tang big knives, especially the Tang horizontal knives, which are simply his favorites.
The horizontal sword, with a straight blade and a thick back, resembles a sword, but it has both the imperial style of the sword and the domineering spirit of the sword, which can be said to be a perfect combination of all the advantages of the sword and the sword.
The Holy Infant nodded and said, "Since the master likes swords, then the master should focus on swords when cultivating the weapon method. ”
What you like is the best, and you will be more interested in cultivating it.
Li Wuwei was puzzled: "But this deep mountain and old forest, where to find a knife?"
The Holy Child pointed in the direction of the mountain: "The jungle below the mountain is full of knives, and you can have as many as you want." ”
Li Wu didn't react for a while: "You mean to let me go to the bottom of the mountain to grab a knife and come back?"
There are many hunter teams composed of scattered cultivators in the jungle below the mountain, and there are many human monks who have come to the mountains to train, and almost all of these people have weapons on their bodies, and there should be a lot of knives.
I didn't want the Holy Child, but said, "I mean to let you find a piece of hard wood and repair a wooden knife." ”
"Wooden knives can also be used as weapons?"
"Master, you're just for cultivation now, it's just for show. Besides, who said that a wooden knife should not be used as a weapon? A martial artist is using the true qi in his body to fight, and the weapon is only a carrier, and a wooden knife can kill people if it is used well. ”
Li Wu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go down the mountain to find wood immediately." ”
The Shenlong Mountain Range is known as the sea of ten thousand mountains, and the mountains are full of towering ancient trees, among which there are some precious tree species.
After some searching, Li Wu found a golden iron tree unique to the cultivation realm in a steep place.
It is the densest, heaviest and hardest wood found in the human world so far.
How hard is the gold?
It is so hard that it can't even be driven into a nail, and it is a wood that is said to be harder than iron, and it has the reputation of "axe terminator".
The point is that the golden iron wood is not only hard, but also very beautiful, the golden wood, the tight and delicate lines, looks unusually gorgeous and atmospheric, only the top large families have the financial resources to make furniture from such precious wood.
The golden iron wood that Li Wu found was an ancient tree that was hundreds of years old.
Even though Li Wu was a Blue Mang Realm cultivator and already possessed an indestructible iron fist, it took a lot of trouble to harvest this towering ancient tree.
It took more than two hours, that is, more than four hours, for Li Wu to successfully carry a piece of wood back to the mountain.
After returning to the mountain, Li Wu found a harder stone and made a stone knife, and began to cut the gold and ironwood.
Wood is wood, and no matter how hard wood is, it can't withstand human cutting and polishing.
What's more, Li Wu is a Blue Mang Realm cultivator, and he still has a spiritual power bonus on his hand when cutting.
It took more than half the night for a straight-handled horizontal knife more than one meter long to finally appear in Li Wu's hand.
Li Wu is a person who pursues perfection, in order to make this war knife look more smooth and beautiful, he not only used a fine grinding stone and a palm with spiritual power to polish the war knife meticulously, and finally carved the word "Wu" on the body of the knife.
After the wooden knife was sharpened, the sky was already bright.
Although he hadn't slept all night, looking at the beautiful wooden knife in his hand, Li Wu was extremely excited, and he didn't have the slightest hint of sleepiness.
He came to the outside of the cave and practiced a set of ordinary knife techniques that he had learned before.
I saw Li Wu jumping and moving, sometimes picking thorns and teasing, sometimes chopping and chopping.
When piercing, it is like a dragon coming out of the water, and the golden streamer is channeled.
When chopping, it is like a long rainbow through the sun, and the wind and clouds are flipped accordingly.
Because Li Wu already has the martial arts cultivation of Xiaocheng in the Blue Mang Realm, coupled with the blessing of the fire exercise, he has the feeling of piercing the cave stone when he makes a move, and he has the intention of taking root in the ground when he falls, although it is just a wooden knife, he is dancing vigorously.
After the trial, Li Wu felt that this wooden knife was not much lighter than an ordinary iron war knife, and it was very easy to dance.
And this wooden knife is not only very hard, but also flexible and elastic, and it will not break easily.
Next, Li Wu began to follow the explanation in the "Five Elements Yin and Yang Decision" to practice the method of infusing true qi into weapons.
