Valen took Dio to a rather secret underground room in a martial arts hall.

The entrance to this room is not very large, and there is a passage that is not too wide to enter and exit, and there are two martial arts elders of the same generation as Warren guarding the entrance of the passage, which can be called an iron wall.

"This is my fifth personal disciple, and I brought him to gain permission. Valen took a step sideways, giving way to Dio behind him.

Dio stepped forward and bowed to the two old men sitting on both sides of the passageway, and the two elders glanced at Dio up and down, nodded slightly, and then stepped aside and continued to sit down with his eyes closed, without saying a word in between.

"Next time, you can just come by yourself, the two elders have already remembered what you look like. ”

Valen led Dio through the passageway, pushing open the iron door, revealing a dark and small room in front of them.

Lighting the kerosene lamps on the walls, the faint glow began to dispel the shadows in the room, revealing a row of one-man tall iron filing cabinets against the wall.

Valen opened one of the drawers, where there were stacks of books or small books bound from bits and pieces of paper, and introduced to Dior: "These are all the practice records recorded by the martial arts hall for generations, and they have been classified according to the exercises, you can come and see for yourself if you have nothing to do, it will be good for your cultivation." ”

"Yes, the disciple knows. ”

Dio took a general look at the lower iron cabinet, and indeed there were paper cards with the names of various exercises inserted on each drawer.

Valen nodded, took out a few small books in the drawer, and handed them to Dior.

"Your basic posture has been practiced very well, and your own suzhì is very good, practicing the posture like an ordinary disciple for a year will no longer have a role in improving you, now you can start practicing the disc posture and the Gray Scale Secret Method. Disc is one of the general outline postures of all the exercises in our martial arts hall, all boxing exercises are extended and developed from it and the other three general outline postures, and the disc style is the only defensive posture in the four general outline postures, so when you get started, you generally practice the disc posture first, and then the other general outline postures. As for the specific power, you should have experienced it in your senior sister. ”

"Teacher, do you mean the ability to offload the power of the blow to the body in other directions?" Dior recalls the feeling of not being able to use the force every time he hit the opponent when he fought with Rosalinde.

"That's right, this is it. Valen nodded and continued to explain: "This is actually just the initial stage of the disc style, and the defense ability against blunt weapons and fists and feet is very strong, but the effect of piercing or slashing is relatively poor, but in the second stage, this point will be slowly made up, have you noticed the gray scales on your senior brother's body?"

Dio nodded, his mind reminding of the image of Bragg beating his opponent in the death match.

"If you grow gray scales, then you have reached the second level of the disc type, this kind of scales you don't look down on, but it can completely block the shooting of arrows and crossbows, and the defense is very strong, which can be said to make up for the original defects, which is also the origin of the name of our martial arts hall. ”

"According to what you said, is there a higher level of disc type?"

"Well, that's right, at the highest level of the legend, the gray scales will become colorless, and they look no different from normal skin, but in fact, they are no different from wearing a super heavy armor, and their defense is very strong. ”

"Teacher, what about the Grey Scale Secret Method?"

"The Gray Scale Secret Method is specially used to match the various exercises of our martial arts hall, long-term practice will improve your physical quality, and with the exercises can better exert your own strength, agility, dexterity and other characteristics, and even give you some very special abilities, such as the gray scales we just said are the secret method with the body and the growth of control. ”

"That's right, I see. Dio understood, but he thought it sounded similar to the breathing method in the Book of Primordials.

"Okay, let's take a look at the practice of the Disc Style and the Gray Scale Secret Method. ”

"Okay, teacher. ”

Dior sat down in a chair to the side and began to flip through the book by the light, while Valen walked out of the room and returned after a while.

The first thing Dior looked at was the Disc Exercise Book, which was a few drawings of human figures, describing the process of striking a somewhat strange pose in order. The first picture is almost the same as the basic posture of the martial arts hall, and in the second picture it is that the feet do not move, and the upper calf begins to turn out to the right, and in the third picture, the waist of the figure in the picture also turns, which is twice as large as the rotation of the calf, and finally the fourth picture is that the neck rotates twice as much as the waist, and the final picture of the human figure seems to be divided into four independent and unrelated parts and twisted separately, how strange it looks.

After reading the disc style, he continued to look at the Gray Scale Secret Method, which was the same as at the beginning of the Disc Exercise Book, the first page was also a human-shaped picture, but an arrow was marked in the body to show the direction of qi and blood flow, but after turning the page, it was a text record, all about the problems and descriptions of this secret method in cultivation, and there were many intuitive feelings of the body after starting to run the secret method from a first-person perspective, so as to give learners a reference.

Time passed imperceptibly as he focused on the book, and it wasn't until he was tapped on the shoulder that he came to his senses.

Turning his head, he saw Valen standing behind him at some point, dragging a bowl in his hand, which was black and steaming, and a mint-like fragrance echoed at the tip of his nose.

"Drink it. Valen handed the bowl to Dior.

Dior took it and drank it without hesitation, it was not hot, it felt a little astringent, a little similar to the taste of grass juice.

"Teacher, what is this?"

"Nightshade water, used to cooperate with the cultivation of secret methods, drink it quickly, it will expire after more than five minutes after it is burned. Valen put the empty bowl on the table aside, "The effect of the medicine is about to take effect, you stand up and take a plate-like stance, and pay attention to the use of secret methods to cooperate." ”

Hearing this, Dio immediately stood up and began to assume the same pose as in the book. Because this is an extension of the basic stance, after practicing for a week, Dior is already familiar with it, and now it is just a few changes on this basis, he quickly set up the disc stance, then closed his eyes, and began to try to use the Gray Scale Secret Method.

"Pay attention to the experiences you have just read in the book, feel them carefully, empty your mind, and follow your own feelings. Valen's voice came clearly.

Dio tried to control the rhythm of the secret method to carry qi and blood to match the disc stance, and suddenly, a cold current rushed up from his abdomen, and suddenly spread to his limbs, and his whole body seemed to fall into an ice cave at once, making his teeth begin to collide up and down unconsciously.

At this time, Valen's voice came again in time.

"Don't you feel cold? This is the potion has worked, use the secret method, try to control the cold current, when you can make the cold current act according to your intentions, it means that you have started. ”

Dio tried to restrain the cold current in his body like a wild horse, which he had a similar experience when he practiced the breathing method, so he got started quickly, and it didn't take long for a small cold current to ease down under his consciousness control, no longer like before, a very fresh and refreshing feeling came out from the place where the accused cold current passed through his body, which made him suddenly refreshed and continued to restrain other cold currents.

The cold current was restrained by him little by little, and slowly his teeth stopped chattering, and the cold feeling in his body began to recede, turning into a cool feeling.

"After controlling the cold current, this is the first stage, known as the ice heart level, the entire secret method is divided into three stages, the second stage is that the cold current begins to slowly turn into a hot flow, this is the scorching stage, and in the third stage, you can freely switch between hot and cold, called the transformation stage, when all these three stages are completed, it is the time when the secret method is completed, and each new stage will improve all aspects of your body, especially in terms of explosive power, the first order can cooperate with the exercise posture to burst out twice the power of the body, the second order is three times, and the third order can even reach five times, of course, this requires a long cultivation time。 ”

Listening to Valen's words, Dio felt that the cold current in his body was like an extension of his limbs, and it seemed that he had reached the standard of the first order that the teacher said, and he felt very relaxed, so he tried to impact the second order.

Table tennis!

At the moment when he began to transform the second stage of the secret method, he only felt numb all over his body, his heart was pounding wildly, and his brain felt like a gong had been struck, and his mind was dizzy.

Then, a huge and incomparable heat flow gushed out of the heart, quickly spreading to the surroundings, as soon as it encountered the cold current that was originally bound, it was immediately devoured unceremoniously, almost in a moment, all the cold current in the original body disappeared, replaced by a scorching breath like magma rushing.

In an instant, his skin turned red, and the air he exhaled became hot.

Seeing Dior's situation, Valen's eyes lit up all of a sudden. The disciple whose talent is very suitable for the Gray Scale Secret Method He has seen is Prague, but it took him a total of three days from cultivating the Gray Scale Secret Method to breaking through the first to second order, which is already one of the most talented disciples in the history of the Gray Scale Martial Arts.

But Dior directly broke through to the second order in the first practice, this kind of talent is really terrifying, even if Valen had a hunch that his appearance would be amazing, but the amazing Cheng Dù still made him can't help but admire, secretly rejoicing that he found Dior's good seedling in time and included him in the door.

From the discovery of Dior's talent to today's official admission of him, Valen personally inspected Dior from all aspects, and gained a certain understanding of his personality, family environment, personality and temper through various ways, which basically made Valen very satisfied.

Now that he has seen with his own eyes the talent shown by Dior in the Gray Scale Secret Method, Valen no longer has any doubts about the Gray Scale Martial Arts Gym having another martial artist, and when the time comes, one martial arts hall will have two major martial artists, and the remaining Lynch and Rosalind will also have the possibility of promotion, and the prosperity of the martial arts hall is just around the corner.
