If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.

The next day, Kong Ming got up very late, didn't even go to eat that breakfast, after getting up, there was still a little dizziness on the head, walked to a pool, picked up the water with his hand, Xian Xian face, cool water, so that Kong Ming's dizzy head finally sobered up, after taking out the dry food from his arms and eating, people finally had a little spirit, looked at the dense tents around, but couldn't see a few people, if it was placed on the edge of the pool before, it would have been crowded, but now there are only a few people left who are pitiful, what happened last night, Kong Ming has not remembered very clearly, as if someone sent a fighting book to himself, Kong Ming stretched out his hand in his arms to find for a long time, I didn't find it, I thought about it, and went back to the tent, and saw a book next to the long sword. This book is made of general sheepskin, and many books on the mainland are made of sheepskin or some monster skins, so the books are also relatively expensive, of course, some are made of bamboo or tree bark, and even some parchment paper appears, but the books that have been preserved for a long time are still made of sheepskin or monster skin. This book is obviously a very ordinary book, looking at the yellowed writing, there may be some book generation, the writing is written with the words "Fire Dragon Fighting Qi", turning the book, the first page, the enlightened sect explains that the origin of the fire dragon fighting qi is invented from a genius's prompt for the tenth-level fire attribute divine dragon. A genius senior swordsman, named Huo Jianqing, cultivated in a big mountain, because he was a fire attribute body, so he cultivated next to a volcano in the Warcraft Forest, and this cultivation lasted for ten years, in addition to the necessary food, he just sat next to the magma and never left, but in these ten years, his cultivation did not improve a little. He was constantly groping for the best method suitable for the cultivation of fire attribute people, starting from the most basic level, slowly groping, constantly changing the cultivation method, he referred to various other cultivation methods, but there was still no progress, he did not find a path that satisfied him, he did not give up, and still insisted on his own research. One day, while he was cultivating, a person suddenly came from the side of the cave, that person was wearing red clothes, he claimed to be a swordsman with a fire attribute, but he couldn't find a cultivation path that satisfied him, so he discussed it with Huo Jianqing, I don't know if he was willing. Huo Jianqing thought about it, maybe it was because he hadn't talked to anyone for a long time, he just said one word, "Okay." In this way, the two talked from a few words at the beginning to talk about everything later, from the foundation of the beginning of the fighting spirit to the advanced cultivation, from the general simple sword skills, to the combined use of sword skills, it can be said that they talked for ten days and ten nights, and on the last day, finally let Huo Jianqing have an epiphany of the essence of fighting qi, and also created the cultivation method of "Fire Dragon Fighting Qi", which is suitable for fire attribute fighting qi. But the moment he had an epiphany, that person turned into a fire-attribute divine dragon and said that when Huo Jianqing surpassed the realm of the sword god one day, they would meet each other again in one place. And Huo Jianqing also became a sword god soon after, but after two hundred years, suddenly one day, he said goodbye to the doorman, and he didn't know what to do, and what he left to people was the book "Fire Dragon Fighting Qi" written by him. This is a traditional story, many people in order to make people pay attention to one thing, always pull some irrelevant celebrities into his works, and Huo Jianqing is a legendary sword god thousands of years ago, but in the preface the editor also admitted frankly, this is a difficult to cultivate fighting spirit, in the cultivation of this fighting spirit in the sword saint is not many, but there are many great swordsmen and senior swordsmen, I don't know what is the reason? It is the only complete copy that the editor found in the library of the Empire, and published it for everyone to have a reference. The year of publication of the book is the year 508 of the Huatian calendar.

Kong Ming continued to read, and the book described in detail the cultivation methods of the fire dragon fighting qi, the precautions and the sword skills that matched the fire dragon fighting qi. The so-called fire dragon fighting qi is a method of continuously cultivating the fire attribute elements between the fire attribute body and heaven and earth to enhance the strength of the body and increase the amount of fighting qi that can be accommodated. Kong Ming looked at it, and cultivated according to the cultivation method in the book. Sit down cross-legged, close your eyes, sink your consciousness into the dantian, let the fighting qi in the dantian run according to the method of the fire dragon fighting qi, and at the same time let the fire element and the fighting qi slowly combine, and then disperse the fighting qi to all parts of the body, gather and disperse, and repeat it like this. In this world, the fighting spirit is usually scattered throughout the body, and it is released through the hands or legs when used, and the amount of fighting energy that the body can accommodate directly determines the level of the person, in the swordsman, the fighting spirit is attached to the whole body in a gaseous state, and the fighting spirit is a combination of gaseous and liquid when the swordsmith, and once the fighting qi is completely liquefied, then this person is the sword master, and once the elemental rules can be regulated, then this person can use the energy of heaven and earth, and at this time it is a person at the level of the sword god, if there is a breakthrough, that is, the mastery of the elemental rules, then it is beyond the sword god。 Magic comes from two aspects, one is the magic of the magician, the magic power is usually the magic of the mage into his own dantian, just like the fighting spirit, the more the better, the gaseous magic element represents the level below the senior magician and the senior magician, and the combination of gaseous and liquid is the magician, The levels of the Magister and the Great Magister, completely liquefied is the Holy Magister, and the ability to regulate the rules of the elements is the Law God, but the other aspect of the Magi is the Magician's spiritual power, and the level of spiritual power also determines the level of the Magi, only the combination of these two is the true power of the Magi, any of which is lower, determines the low level of the Magi, that is to say, the level of the Magi is determined by the lowest level of his spiritual power and magic power, so the Magician is so difficult to cultivate, but the magician is better than the swordsman is that the magician can use the spiritual power from the low level, with his own magic as a guide, using the elements between heaven and earth to perform earth-shattering magic, this is the difference between a magician and a swordsman. Of course, because both need to store elements, this determines that some people can cultivate magic and fighting qi at the same time, but usually the cultivation of this kind of person is much more difficult than others, this is usually called a magic swordsman, and the fire dragon fighting qi is simply a kind of cultivation method of a magic swordsman, it improves the body to increase the storage of fighting energy and magic power, and improves the spiritual power to improve people's ability to comprehend the rules of the elements, so as to avoid the hurdle of the sword saint and the sword god, and achieve a higher cultivation, so this requires the cultivator to need the dual cultivation of magic and martial arts from the beginning, otherwise, it is impossible for either party to cultivate from scratch after the improvement。 Because once the fighting qi or magic begins to liquefy, then they begin to discard each other, and it is unlikely to cultivate another kind of energy, which is why the fire dragon fighting qi is so difficult to cultivate to become a sword god, only one person can cultivate another swordsman or magic when he is a high-level magician and a third-level swordsman, so that these two energies can be staggered together and achieve common improvement, and the first fire sword qing who cultivates the fire dragon fighting qi, because at the level of a senior swordsman, in order to cultivate, he is the cultivation of a self-abolished sword master, and he has such a result from starting to cultivate, and the fire god is also a demon swordsman, so he can have the cultivation of the sword god, and among his disciples, I don't have a dual cultivation of demon and martial arts, I only cultivate the fighting qi, and I can't avoid the hurdle of the sword saint and the sword god, so I can only have the level of the sword saint. And after Kong Ming saw the fire dragon fighting qi, he knew that this was the kind of fighting qi he needed the most, only a person like him who cultivated both magic and martial arts could better practice the fire dragon fighting qi, because the dragon was the double cultivation of demon and martial arts. Moreover, now Kong Ming's Dou Qi is level two, and the level of the mage is only a junior dual-line magician, which fully meets the requirements of cultivation. The book was delivered in a timely manner. Of course, the dual cultivation of magic and martial arts also has the characteristics of dual cultivation, that is, the progress of cultivation is much slower than that of the magician and the swordsman, but in the later stage, the fusion of the two energies makes it improve very quickly, because it avoids the characteristics of the swordsman's difficulty in comprehending the rules and the characteristics of the magician's body's small capacity for mana, while it is unique in combat, because it neither lacks long-range attacks like swordsmen, nor is it afraid of melee attacks like magicians. So even though many people on the continent know this, few people go to the dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, what they want is speed.

Kong Ming slowly fused the magic element of the fire attribute with the fighting qi according to the description in the book, and the two slowly began to rotate and fuse on the dantian, so that what Kong Ming didn't expect was that the space magic element also joined this fusion, but Kong Ming had no way to stop it, because these two magic elements were intersected together, maybe because Kong Ming himself was a demon and martial arts double cultivator, this fusion went very smoothly, and there was no mistake at all. The fire element and the space element at the beginning, just a little bit closer to the fighting qi, after touching it, the edges of the two energies began to be assimilated with each other, the two essentially different energies rotated and crossed together, constantly assimilating with each other, maybe Kong Ming is the reason why he is a second-level swordsman and a junior mage, the energy of the fighting spirit is a little greater than the energy of magic, and the two sides have a fusion bias towards the fighting spirit a little more, I don't know how long it took, when the two were completely fused, it became a new fire dragon fighting qi, and at the moment when the fire dragon fighting qi was formed, Kong Ming felt as if he had broken through the limitations of the second-level swordsman and became a third-level swordsman。 Then Kong Ming spread the fire dragon fighting qi in the dantian all over his body according to what the book said, then retracted it, and then dispersed it, and after repeating it several times, he finally stopped. When Kong Ming woke up, the outside of the tent was completely dark, Kong Ming didn't pay attention to the things outside, and sent out a small fighting qi casually, Kong Ming's fighting spirit had changed from the original white with a little red fighting energy to a little bit of white in the red fighting energy, Kong Ming thought that this white was the warrior fighting energy that had not been completely transformed into the fire dragon fighting energy, and he didn't care too much, but what Kong Ming didn't know was that when he began to cultivate the fire dragon fighting energy, all the fighting energy was completely transformed into red, and now the white in the fighting energy was completely because of the space element sandwiched in the fire attribute fighting energy。 Experiencing the fighting spirit of the senior swordsman, Kong Ming set off a trace of waves in his heart, and in this cruel war, he had another capital to save his life, and he was really grateful to Na Karsia. Put on the armor, bring the long sword, Kong Ming came to the place where he drank last night, except for the old headhunter, everyone else is here, still the same eating and drinking, still the same talk, but obviously the current atmosphere is much better than yesterday, maybe after a day of adaptation, everyone has no feeling about yesterday in such an environment.

"Where's the old headhunter?" Kong Ming cut off a piece of horse meat with a knife and asked Kasia, who was sitting next to him, as he ate it.

"Gone. Kasia's face was distinctly relieved.

"Where did you go?" asked Kong Ming strangely.

"Going home, he went back to the rear with a group of seriously wounded today, and because his hand was broken, he could no longer fight, and people like him were sent home, and for him the war was truly over. Kasia replied lightly. "Maybe this is the best destination for him, after so many years, he finally went home, before going back, he went to your place to take a look, because you are still cultivating, he didn't bother you, he asked me to pass a message to you. ”

"What words. ”

"Live well. ”

"Hmm. After saying that, Kong Ming took a big bite of the meat in his hand and chewed hard.

"I'm leaving tomorrow too. Kasia continued.

"You're going home too?"

"No, because this battle table was a little more eye-catching, they asked me to join General Sun's guards. There must be a lot of masters there, and now there is no one to fight. Kasia said yearningly, and the others were also envious, but it was much stronger by the general's side than in the swordsman battalion, not only because there were more strong people there, but also because if there was a battle next to the general, then the entire army might almost collapse, and it was much safer than the swordsman battalion. Kong Ming looked at Kasia and said sincerely: "Congratulations, you will take care of us more in the future." The black wolf said, "Come brothers, raise the wine, and let us all wish Kasia together." After watching everyone raise the wine in their hands, the black wolf shouted: "One, two, dry !!!" Everyone drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp. After this battle, the relationship between the black wolf and everyone has improved a lot, according to the words of the black wolf, only those who have fought together are worthy of being his brothers, otherwise they are not farts. It was another feast of wine and meat, but, during their conversation, Sora Ming learned a little about the situation of the swordsman battalion, in view of the loss of the swordsman battalion, Yan zhòng, it was no longer possible to use it as a large army in battle, and in this big battle, Kari won a lot of horses, and it was decided that the swordsman battalion would be changed to cavalry and used as scouts until the new swordsman battalion opened. And tomorrow they will go and choose horses to mount. The thirteen of them were a scout squad.

After eating and drinking, Kong Ming took the sword he had snatched from the battlefield from his back, and to be honest, he didn't take a good look at this sword from yesterday to today. One is not in the mood, the other is not in the time, but now it is time to participate in the battle again, if you can't grasp the sword in your hand well before the battle, then it is definitely a fatal thing in the battle, Cassia once told him, don't let go of the preparation of everything when fighting, otherwise, often victory is decided in this subtle place. Slowly touching the sword with his hand, Kasia next to him was also a little surprised when he saw it, because he knew that this was not Kong Ming's original sword, and after taking the sword from Kong Ming's hand, he looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but sigh, "This is really a good sword." ”

"What's a good way?" After all, Kong Ming is young and doesn't have as much insight as Kasia and the Black Wolf, so he can't tell the difference between good and bad swords.

"This sword is made of fine iron, after many stacks, from the process of making zuò seems to be the work of the dwarf, two-handed long sword, the sword mouth is sharp, good for chopping, there are two grooves on the sword body, it is easy to bloodlet when piercing the enemy, reduce the clamping force of the flesh on the person, and facilitate quick pulling, these two complex patterns on the sword are two magic arrays, which are usually used to give the sword a certain performance or strengthen a certain function of the sword, and these two magic are connected to the crystal nucleus of this demonic beast, which seems to be a second-level fire attribute crystal nucleus, from this point of view, this is a fire attribute sword, which coincides with your attributes, it can be said that in battle, you have this sword to increase your combat power by three layers. Of course, this is just a very ordinary magic sword, and you can find a sword that suits you more when you have the opportunity in the future, but this is enough for you in the current battle. When Kasia introduced the sword to Kong Ming, it also attracted the attention of the black wolf. "Show me. The black wolf beckoned to Kasia. Kasia handed the sword to the black wolf.

"Well, this is a good sword, Jack," the black wolf found a small line on the top of the sword, "I haven't heard of this person?" It may be just an ordinary dwarven blacksmith, the sword edge is indeed relatively sharp, judging from the surface of the sword, it is indeed made of fine iron, and it seems to be mixed with some other materials that are conducive to strength, so that in the battle the sword will not be damaged by colliding with solid things, this is the standard method of making zuò, these two magic arrays, if I am not mistaken, one strengthens the magic array of the sword original, and the other is the magic array that strengthens the attribute wound. With the fire attribute Dou Qi you use, that can have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort. Having such a good sword can make it easier for you to kill enemies in the future, but remember, don't rely too much on your sword, this will not be good for your cultivation, you should strengthen your fighting strength, this is the main thing. ”

"I know, but isn't a good sword a good helper of a sword, why is it not good for cultivation?"

"I don't know much about this, if you have a chance in the future, you can ask some high-level swordsmen, and they can give you a more definite answer. Oh, by the way, I went to take a look today, you seem to have started to cultivate the Fire Dragon Dou Qi, I'll tell you something about the Dou Qi, so that you don't have to go the wrong way in the future. Looking at Kong Ming's concentrated appearance, the black wolf continued: " The fire dragon fighting spirit is now also called the fire god fighting spirit, it is now a kind of high-level fighting spirit popular on the mainland, there are many people who practice, I heard that the previous fire dragon fighting spirit is to make people practice magic and martial arts, but three hundred years ago, there was a genius who cultivated this kind of fighting spirit to become a sword god, he did not completely cultivate according to the above cultivation methods, after he improved some of these things, this kind of fighting spirit became a single fighting qi cultivation method, which is a very suitable for the cultivation of fire attribute people. Because the Fire Dragon Dou Qi is a dual cultivation of Demon and Martial Arts, the cultivation time is much longer than the ordinary Dou Qi cultivation time, and the Fire God Dou Qi is to improve this shortcoming, you can use it to compare it if you have the opportunity, so that you can learn from each other's strengths, after all, the method of cultivation varies from person to person, don't be limited to one method. ”

Kong Ming nodded, thinking that this was indeed the case, but Kong Ming was a little strange, why was the black wolf so good to them soldiers now? Was it because they had gone through a battle together? In the past, the black wolf would never give him a little bit of advice on the issue of cultivation. Kong Ming thought about it again, but he couldn't figure it out, so he didn't go to why. He took the long sword handed over by the black wolf with both hands, touched it, and thought about what Kasia and the black wolf said about the sword, which gave Kong Ming a new level of understanding of the sword, looking at Kong Ming's contemplative appearance, Kasia waited for a while, until he saw Kong Ming wake up from his contemplation, and then said to Kong Ming: "Tomorrow I will leave, the people who come together in the village will die, go, no one here will take care of you anymore, you have to learn to take care of yourself, when one day the war is over, go back to the village, me and the old headhunter, The old mage and the people of the village are waiting for you there, remember that wherever you go, it is your hometown. Come, before I go, I'll teach you something more, one more life-saving thing, it's not a bad thing. As he spoke, Kasia stood up and walked to a clearing not far away, and Kong Ming followed him there.

"Draw your sword. Kasia called to Kong Ming, Kong Ming walked to more than ten meters opposite Kasia, and then pulled out the long sword from behind, made a preparatory posture for the attack in the face of Kasia, and slowly ran the fire dragon fighting spirit that he had just learned today, the fighting spirit on the long sword came out of the sword, the flame-like appearance, after a battle, Kong Ming's current posture is no longer the same as before, which unconsciously added Kong Ming's murderous aura, seeing Kong Ming's gesture, Kasia finally nodded, knowing that in the war, Kong Ming has mastered the true essence of battle, and Kasia pulled out the long sword, With a Kongming looks ordinary posture to Kong Ming, he staggered one foot in front of one foot and behind one foot, standing there very casually, the long sword held in one hand pointed obliquely at the ground, and the other finger pointed to Kong Ming, hooked his fingers, signaling Kong Ming to start fighting, in the eyes of ordinary people This is a provocative posture, it is a sign of looking down on people, if it is placed before the battle, Kong Ming will not hesitate to rush up, blood splashed three steps, but after the test of war, although it is only one day, but Kong Ming undoubtedly learned something in the battle that he could not learn before, that is, patience, so Kong Ming did not move, still standing there, Kasia nodded with satisfaction and said: "Yes, I think you may have found out, the difference between you and my strength is so big, in the face of absolute strength, we must learn to be patient, don't make senseless sacrifices for the so-called face, in this battle, you may have also seen that many people just let the enemy have a chance to take advantage of it because of impulse, and no matter how high the ability is, there is only one way to die in battle." This is the first thing I taught you before I left, and it was also the old headhunter who asked me to tell you. After speaking, Kasia rushed over directly, slashed down with a sword, Kong Ming flashed to the side, let go of Kasia's attack, but Kasia didn't seem to want to let go of Kasia like this, he then changed the split to a stroke, and slashed towards Kasia, Kong Ming took a step back again, dodged Kasia's sword, Kasia walked forward, and then turned around and said: "See what I am doing again?"

"Split and slash. Kong Ming replied simply.

"Shit, didn't you find anything else?"

Kong Ming shook his head. Kasia didn't say anything more and rushed over again, and Kong Ming dodged the same way.

"Do you see clearly?" asked Kasia again. Kong Ming thought for a moment, "You don't seem to be using Dou Qi?" Kong Ming said uncertainly.

"It's not that you don't use the fighting energy, but the fighting energy is gathered together and hidden in the sword, which not only strengthens the power of the sword, saves the fighting energy, but also does not let people find out, and there is no need to waste the fighting energy like you are now, this is the second thing I want to teach you, that is, if you want to survive on the battlefield, try not to attract attention, once people notice that you are a master, then the enemy's master will also come to you, that is why the most swordsmen of the same level as me are dead or injured, and I am the reason why there is nothing at all, remember, learn to hide your fighting spirit, don't attract attentionAt the same time, it can also save your fighting spirit, prolong your fighting time, and have more means to deal with accidents. ”

After finishing speaking, Kasia was an assault on Kong Ming again, and it was used together with the usual basic sword skills, at this time it reflected the terrible sword skills, the pervasive sword or fighting spirit, so that Kong Ming had a feeling that he could not fight back, in less than a while, Kong Ming's body let Kasia fight dozens of times, if this is a real battle, it can be said that Kong Ming has died dozens of times, and finally, Cassie used a sword spine to shoot Kong Ming more than ten meters away, and when Kong Ming stood up from the ground again, Kasia continued with the annoyed Kong Ming just now: "This is the third thing I teach you, that is, to master the sword skills well, in the same level of swordsman struggle, this is an important skill that determines the battle, and even sometimes, it allows you to challenge the opponent beyond the level, to survive, don't underestimate it, don't affect your determination because those boring people discuss the boring question of whether the fighting spirit is important or the sword skill is important, because whenever your life is the most important, without a small life, everything they discuss is bullshit, you can only go further in this aspect if you combine the two better。 I've read the contents of the Fire Dragon's Fighting Spirit, and those are some very practical skills, don't let them be dusted. ”

After saying that, Kasia will not put it away, and walked straight to Kong Ming, Kong Ming saw him coming over, and also put away the sword, but after Kasia approached him, he kicked Kong Ming away, and let Kong Ming make a rolling gourd, Kong Ming got up from the ground angrily, and the sword was in his hand in an instant, he was afraid that Kasia would attack him again, but unexpectedly, Kasia looked at him with a stern face, and then said something that surprised Kong Ming:" No matter when, as a swordsman, you must be vigilant, your eyes must see your surroundings clearly, distinguish the way the sword is coming from, the direction of the enemy's attack, and at the same time, you must also use your heart, remember to see the people around you clearly, because many times the fatal injuries you receive come from your side, sometimes friends will suddenly become enemies, and enemies will also become friends, don't trust people lightly, even if it is an acquaintance. This is the last lesson I will teach you, and I hope you will understand and live well. Kasia walked up to Kong Ming, hugged Kong Ming, which was a kind of etiquette for Kong Ming, patted Kong Ming's back, and whispered in Kong Ming's ear, "Remember, look at the world with your heart, look at everyone and everything with your heart, not with your eyes." This is a sentence that everyone in our village will say to the younger generation when everyone in our village leaves the village to go outside, the old headhunter is in a hurry, he asked me to convey this sentence to you, I am gone, you will have to rely on yourself in the future, be careful. With that, Kasia left Kongming and left.

Kong Ming watched Kasia's figure walk into the distance, and until the figure disappeared, Kong Ming still stood there thinking about what Kasia had said to him. After a long time, Kong Ming suddenly stood up, pulled out his long sword, closed his eyes, and recalled the set of sword skills in the fire dragon fighting qi in his mind, and slowly used it with the fire dragon fighting qi he had just learned. The war is still going on, the battle will continue to happen, if he still fights like the first, then in a few times, he will definitely be like Liu Cheng, monkey and them, become the fertilizer of the grass on the grassland, only in the continuous tempering, improve their ability, every point of ability, in such an environment, more hope than others to survive. And survival is not to hope for the pity of the enemy, only self-improvement can survive, and the top priority is to improve one's own skills. And sword skills are undoubtedly the best choice at the moment.

Kong Ming slowly groped for the fire dragon sword skills in the open space, one move and one style, slowly familiarized, the night covered the earth, most of the people by the fire returned to the tent to rest, only a few sentries were still standing guard outside, watching Kong Ming practice swords there, the black wolf simply let Kong Ming stand at the first post, and said that if he was still practicing swords in the second post, then the second post would also belong to him, Kong Ming agreed without a trace of hesitation. So next to the fire next to Kong Ming, there was only one person next to Kong Ming. After practicing the sword skills more than ten times, Kong Ming suddenly remembered the time in the battle that teleported, and remembered that someone in the previous conversation unintentionally talked about the strangeness of the swordsman skills of the Demon and Martial Arts Double Cultivation, which can be turned over in an instant, thinking of this, Kong Ming continued to experiment with the method of adding magic in the battle, and finally Kong Ming finally found a way that was not a way, that is, to recite magic spells as quickly as possible in the battle, and use this to match the battle of sword skills. Thinking of this, Kong Ming had to shake his head, it seems that in the future, not only must he cultivate his fighting spirit, but he will also have to meditate more, otherwise he will not be able to use the ability of wielding a demon swordsman, it seems that it is very true that others say that a magic swordsman is more difficult to cultivate than a single magician or swordsman, but at the same time, the magic swordsman is also the most terrifying in the same level.
