Chapter 3 The encounter in the martial arts field
At this time, Duan Qing, who was lying on the bed, pillowed his head with one hand, and looked at the Immortal Ring on the other hand for a while.
The quaint appearance is no longer like the previous one, only the color of pitch black, and the two sides seem to be inlaid with white silk threads, revealing a trace of cold air under the reflection of the moonlight.
"Is it really because of you, brought me here," Duan Qing muttered.
At the last moment of death, he had no regrets, nor did he take anything away, but he never took this thing down, and after he was reborn, this thing still followed him, which shows that this ring is not simple, or that there is some kind of secret in it.
His mind went back to his previous life, when he had been carrying the Ask Immortal Ring, but the Asking Immortal Ring at that time did not show anything, just like an ordinary ring.
He didn't understand why, when the Duan family was destroyed, why his father didn't give him other important things, but only handed over this quaint and useless ring to him.
Holding his hand and looking at the fairy ring with a faint stream on his fingers, Duan Qing was thoughtful.
"If what I heard in that dark void is true, then am I born again because my destiny is tied to you?"
Squinting his eyes slightly, Duan Qing recalled the words he heard in the dark void, whether it was a hallucination or not, he felt incredible.
He found that from the moment his consciousness entered this body, everything was different, and it was clear that the reason why he was able to enter this body was also because the original owner of this body died unexpectedly, and his consciousness merged with himself, thus becoming what he is now.
And what awaits him in this new world called the Wentian Continent?
......
The next day, Duan Qing got up early in the morning, ignored the surprised eyes of a group of Duan family members, washed up a little and rushed to the Duan family's martial arts arena.
The martial arts arena is a mansion located in the north of the town, with two stone lions in front of the door, more than 300 meters long and wide, in the middle of the bustling street.
"Drink!"
A little farther away, you can faintly hear the shouts of drinking, drinking, drinking.
Duan Qing finally came to the martial arts arena, and at this time, in the open space in the mansion, hundreds of teenagers, standing in a phalanx with rules and regulations, shirtless, covered in sweat, waving their hands with the slogan in front of the phalanx.
"Duan Hu, your arms should be straight, don't stagger, like a girl. ”
"And you, Duan Cheng, your body and bones have been trained, you have to control your qi, the rhythm of your breath is the key to condensing your true qi, otherwise you won't be able to reach the second stage martial artist for the rest of your life. ”
"And you Duan Jiuwu, is this the case with the hundred refining fists I taught you? If you practice a hundred more times, you won't have anything to eat today. ”
In front of the phalanx, a sturdy man was instructing the group, and the trained people were also more focused on practice, and none of them dared to obey.
"Uncle Duan Hai!" Duan Qing shouted at a middle-aged man in front of the phalanx, and this person also had some impressions in those memory fragments, named Duan Hai, the head of the Duan family's martial arts field, and his strength was five stages of body refining, which was very powerful.
"Hmm? Duan Qing, why is this kid here? Duan Hai, who was practicing with him, turned his head and glanced at Duan Qing, "Don't stop, continue to practice, I'll come when I go." ”
"Yes!" the children of the Duan family roared in response, practicing desperately.
And Duan Hai took Duan Qing to a rest place on the edge of the martial arts arena.
"Why did you kid have time to come to my side, didn't your father let you take care of the family's property? Could it be that your father kicked him out?" Duan Hai said half-jokingly.
"Uncle Duan Hai, where are you, I'm not interested in those, I want to be a martial artist. ”
Of course, Duan Qing knew that in their eyes, he was a gentleman who didn't learn and didn't know how to make trouble everywhere with the identity of the eldest young master of the Duan family, but it was another 'glorious deed' of Duan Qing, and when he thought of some of the things he did, Duan Qing couldn't laugh or cry.
"I want to practice martial arts with Uncle Duan Hai. ”
A very simple sentence fell on Duan Hai's ears, but it was not true.
"Xiaoqing, it's not that Uncle Duan Hai doesn't want to teach, it's just that you should know that you are not suitable to be a martial artist. He paused, then added.
"Don't blame Uncle Duan Hai, I speak ugly, martial arts cultivation needs to start from a young age, muscles and talents are particularly important, it's too late for you to come back and cultivate again, and, look at those guys, which one is not younger than you?" Duan Hai pointed to the people on the empty place array.
Following his gaze, Duan Qing observed intently.
"The muscles and bones determine the strength, resistance to blows, explosiveness and recovery of the body, and the martial artists of our Duan family will begin to learn the 'Brute Bull Strength' and other body refining techniques since they were young, and constantly strengthen the physical body through pharmacology, practice, and eating. ”
"So, at your current age, your muscles and bones have been set, but I'm afraid it's impossible to become a martial artist. ”
Duan Hai explained to Duan Qing and persuaded him, he really didn't want to hit his self-confidence, but the way to practice martial arts was so cruel.
And Duan Qing glanced at it silently, indeed, the faces of this group of sweaty teenagers were still childish, but the perseverance between their eyebrows was undoubtedly revealed.
Many people with good talent are still changing, which is obviously a sign of breakthrough.
He looked at the young man in the phalanx, and every move seemed to have some kind of unique rhythm, and with each shout, the rhythm of his body changed.
"That's..."Duan Qing muttered.
He found that there were blue lines swimming back and forth with the movement of the bodies on the bodies of those teenagers, like strips of qi swimming along their bodies.
What's going on? Why didn't I see Xiaoyu before, and neither did Uncle Duan Hai?
He didn't know, the lines were not visible to others, but he could see them clearly.
"Uncle Duan Hai, is it possible for a martial artist to cover his body with true qi at a certain stage?" Duan Qing asked deliberately, of course he wouldn't say what he saw.
"Oh, I didn't expect you to ask this, it looks like you knew a little bit before you came. Duan Hai was a little surprised, he didn't expect Duan Qing to notice this, but he only thought that Duan Qing was more curious, and he still patiently pointed out.
"You should know that when the strength and toughness of the martial artist's body are improved, they will encounter a certain bottleneck, and it is difficult to improve again, at this time, it is necessary to turn from the outside to the inside, and train the tendons, skin, and membranes to achieve the ability to resist blows, and practice the five organs, meridians, qi and blood inside. ”
"When the internal training reaches a certain level, the pure energy will be refined into true qi from the inside out, and when it reaches the third stage of refining the body, it will be able to bless the true qi as a means of defense on the body by opening the acupoints. Of course, because the release of true qi will consume a lot of physical strength, it is generally not deliberately revealed. ”
After listening to Duan Hai's words, Duan Qing suddenly realized that what he had just seen was true qi, which was indeed different from the martial arts on the earth, one was to focus on strength, temper his physique, and condense his true qi to strengthen himself;
But it is not without commonalities, take the refining body as an example, both need to enhance the strength of the body, if they can be combined, I believe the power will be stronger.
Duan Qing stared intently at this group of teenagers to practice, and his heart was surging with their shouts, as if he couldn't help but go up and cultivate together in the next moment.
The more he thought about it, the more unbearable he felt, and just as he was about to ask Duan Hai if he could also go up to cultivate together or where he could learn some martial arts, a group of uninvited guests came outside.
"Yo, it's really a coincidence today, I didn't expect to meet our eldest young master here again, why didn't Sister Xiaoyu come with you?"
I saw Duan Heng with a few people walking in from outside the gate of the martial arts arena, wearing a cyan outfit that looked a little mighty, he saw Duan Qing standing beside Duan Hai at a glance, and couldn't help but say.
"What? Is our eldest young master trying to cultivate martial arts? However, I remember that in the past, the clan conducted martial arts talent tests, and you never seemed to have passed. Seeing that Duan Qing was seriously watching from the sidelines, Duan Heng couldn't help but mock.
He was still thinking about yesterday's events, how could he miss this good opportunity when he saw that Xiaoyu was not there.
"Brother Heng, why do you want to talk nonsense with this kind of guy, he is just a waste who can't cultivate martial arts, don't lose your identity. A young man in Chinese clothes who was about the same age as Duan Heng said impatiently.
"That is, the third young master is a powerhouse of the fifth stage of body refining, and the future head of the Duan family, there is no need to say so much to such people. Ma San behind Duan Heng jumped out again to pat his ass, and at the same time did not forget to damage Duan Qing.
"Are you healed and forgot the pain, don't you remember slapping yourself yesterday?"
And Duan Qing squinted his eyes, glanced at the group of people coldly, and suddenly said mockingly.
The other party was deflated yesterday, and today he ran over to find the field, although I don't know why I met them here, but it can be seen that the person who came is not good.
But if you think about it carefully, you can understand why the other party is always targeting him, to put it bluntly, his identity as the eldest young master is related to his name as the future head of the family.
The choice of the head of the family is determined by strength, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't have any talent for martial arts cultivation and didn't have any strength, as the eldest young master of the Duan family, his position as the head of the family was nine out of ten.
"Duan Heng is also here, isn't today the day for our Duan Family's Martial Arts Pavilion to be read once a month? Seeing Duan Heng coming to the martial arts arena, Duan Hai immediately stepped forward and asked cordially, completely more eager than seeing Duan Qing's attitude.
Although he didn't laugh at Duan Qing, but the strength of the two was not at the same level at all, Duan Hai knew very well how to stand in line, Duan Heng was a strong competitor to the head of the family, he was already a fifth-stage refining body at a young age, and if he became the head of the family in the future, he would also get a lot of benefits.
However, Duan Qing did not say it explicitly, the other party's choice was in his own considerations, which is understandable, in general, he gained a lot from coming to the martial arts field today, he combined some words from Xiaoyu and Duan Hai, and was full of confidence in becoming a martial artist.
Talent? If you have a divine object like the Immortal Ring in your hand, are you afraid that you won't have a chance?
Moreover, no matter how I say it, I was also the former head of the Duan family, created the 'Smoke and Rain Sword Technique' and the 'Broken Love Sword', and fought against the killers of the Blood Moon and Hou Ye, and his talent could not be bad. Although it was the power given by the Immortal Ring, in Duan Qing's opinion, Hou Ye's strength was estimated to be stronger than Duan Heng and Duan Hai.
Thinking of this, Duan Qing couldn't help but be dumbfounded, when did he become so arrogant?
"It's useless to say it, Uncle Duan Hai, today I came to tell you, in half a year, we will go to our Duan family's New Year's Festival, Dad is going to let you preside over this New Year's Festival, however, this New Year's Festival is different from the past, there will be a junior competition, and the Zhao family and the North family will also be present, I heard that the winner this time will have the opportunity to be sent to the Pure Yang Sect and become a disciple. ”
Immediately, Duan Heng turned his head to Duan Qing and said: "As the eldest prince, you should also behave in this New Year's Festival, I also want to see how you can practice some ways from a person who can't practice martial arts, don't make jokes and lose the face of our Duan family at that time." ”
Hearing this, Duan Qing's face was slightly gloomy, this was obviously turning a corner to belittle himself, for the position of a family head, isn't even the friendship of his own brothers enough?
"I can't see anything from just one New Year's festival, but if I don't participate, won't I be very disappointed by those who look down on me? ”
"Yes, after half a year, I will personally challenge you, and at that time, the whole family will know that only I, Duan Heng, are qualified to inherit the position of the head of the family, and you are just a supporting role. Duan Heng's face was dumbfounded, and the next moment it turned into a smiling face, and he said to Duan Hai, who was a little sluggish: "The words have been brought, and I won't disturb Uncle Duan Hai's practice here, and I will leave." ”
The group came mightily and left arrogantly.
And the group of young people of the Duan family who were practicing also stopped and looked at each other.
The second prince openly threatened to challenge the eldest prince at the annual festival, which is something that has been heard of.
Who is Duan Heng, although he is not a genius in decision, but he is also a famous genius of the Duan family and even Luoyu Town, and Duan Qing is just a gentleman who spends all day drinking outside with the name of a great prince.
Two people with completely unequal strength actually made an appointment to fight in front of everyone.
The implications of this are intriguing.
Duan Qing glanced at the door coldly, did he really think that he had no chance of winning before he ate himself?
Wait, I'll leave you all speechless.
"Uncle Duan Hai, I still have some things, so I won't bother you, and I'll come to the martial arts arena to ask for advice when I have time. From the memory fragments, he found some information about the Martial Arts Pavilion, and Duan Qing didn't stay for long, said goodbye to Duan Hai, ignored Duan Hai and the others and slowly left the martial arts arena.
He must hurry up, the annual sacrifice in half a year is imminent, and he must improve his strength as quickly as possible.
