An hour later.

"Are you really sure that you want to follow me to the Ancient Xuan Kingdom of the Eastern Continent?"

When Xuanzong learned of Chen Mo's intention, he couldn't help frowning slightly when he stood on the edge of the deck looking at the sea, obviously he didn't think that Chen Mo would come to him.

"Yes, Master Xuanzong."

Chen Mo said firmly: "The reason why I have practiced mental power since I was a child is completely because I was born in the Western Continent, but deep down in my heart, I have actually been fascinated by the martial arts of the Eastern Continent, especially after this in-depth contact with all the martial artists, it has made me firm in my belief, compared to the path of the supernatural, I believe that one day, I will achieve higher achievements in the martial arts, please accept me as an apprentice no matter what!" ”

Immediately afterwards, Chen Mo actually showed his basic boxing technique in front of Xuanzong.

Seeing that Chen Mo did have a certain level of basic boxing attainment, and that he was saved by the other party, Xuanzong reluctantly nodded.

"It's a pity that Zhang Qiang is no longer here, otherwise his Tongjian and Shenglong Quan are more suitable for you."

Chen Mo hurriedly said, "Master Xuanzong, what I am pursuing is not a skill move. ”

"Huh?"

Xuanzong turned his head and looked at Chen Mo suspiciously.

Chen Mo continued: "As the saying goes, if you don't practice martial arts, in the end, what I want to learn is not ordinary martial arts moves, but basic skills and internal skills. ”

The so-called martial arts moves can be compared to the combat skills of the disaster world, and they are also called killing techniques by martial artists.

The basic skills and internal strength are what most martial artists scoff at when they are young, but they will pursue it in turn after a certain age of experience, which not only requires a long period of meditation and practice, with little effect, but also often with the corresponding martial arts concept as support, which is also similar to the first-level predator stage of the natural disasters, from the beginning of the pursuit of combat skill intensity, to the pursuit of professional enhancement of the honing.

"You can be so enlightened."

Xuanzong stared at Chen Mo for a long time, revealing a sad look.

"I'm ashamed to say that I only understood this when I was thirty years old, and I was regarded as a Zhongxing talent of Huayimen, and you can have such an awareness at such a young age, if I hadn't become a wasted person now, there would be no hope for the revival of Huayimen......"

The side effects of the body damage recovery agent seemed to have begun to appear in Xuanzong's body, and he could clearly feel that his body was undergoing uncontrollable mutations.

With the dislocation of the meridians in the body and the closure of the acupuncture points, this makes his martial arts foundation slowly disappear.

This is undoubtedly a big blow to a person who practices martial arts.

"I'm already a wreck, are you sure you want to follow me?"

"I'm sure."

Chen Mo said firmly: "I know that my basic skills are very poor, if you don't encounter such an accident, you won't look down on me at all, in some ways, this is also my opportunity, so no matter what, I will follow you to study hard as much as I can, and I will never give up halfway." ”

"Okay."

When Xuanzong heard this, he couldn't help but say angrily: "If it weren't for you, I might have died here, Gu Xuanguo has a saying that teaches students according to their aptitude, and when I go back, I will conduct a comprehensive evaluation and inspection of you, and then give targeted guidance to your martial arts talent, and cultivate you into a malleable talent." ”

Professionalization can be divided into two stages.

The initial stage is the honing of basic skills, which is the most polishing stage and the most arduous and boring stage.

Taking the Scourge as an example, if you just want to meet the requirements of wearing equipment and learning advanced skills, even if it is dark gold-level equipment and S-level skills, it only requires a proficiency level of about Lv35 at most.

However, powerful Scourge Destroyers tend to raise their basic skills to a higher level, for example, the Grandmasters in the third-level Scourge Destroyers in the major gathering places tend to increase their basic skills to Lv40 or above, and some even reach the level of Lv50, surpassing the vast majority of Scourge Lords.

It is precisely for this reason that the grandmasters of the major gathering places are often regarded as peak catastrophes in the general sense, and the grandmaster competition after each doomsday mission is often the most lively time in the major gathering places.

The second stage is the formal professionalization stage.

Under the premise that the corresponding basic skill level is qualified, some advanced professional systems often have the requirements for basic exercises to the point of perversion, which leads to fewer and fewer inheritors, and finally even reaches the point of extinction, which is not because the professional strength is not enough, but because there are too few talents who can meet the relevant requirements.

The characteristic of professionalism is that you can become stronger through learning and practicing.

This can not only obtain combat skills that do not occupy skill grids, but also steadily improve one's own attributes and reach a higher stage.

Otherwise, if the Scourge wants to improve by plundering the genius treasure, elixir, and completing the task to obtain free attribute points, although it is not impossible, it is equivalent to becoming a rootless duckweed, and as the level of the Scourge increases, the process of promotion will become more and more difficult, until it is completely left behind by other professional Disasters.

After all, after reaching a higher level of natural disasters, the attribute points of the natural disasters will easily exceed hundreds, or even thousands, and the related amplification treasures will become extremely precious, and the difficulty of obtaining them is far from being comparable to that of low-level treasures.

……

Half a month later.

Chen Mo followed Xuanzong and took a ferry to a port city called 'City That Never Sleeps' in the ancient Xuanguo.

Compared with the advanced of the Western Continent, the Eastern Continent is even more backward, and the Ancient Xuan Kingdom is a very inconspicuous one among the dozens of large and small countries in the Eastern Continent.

Walking on the bluestone street, Chen Mo looked left and right.

He saw that many of the people here were dressed in rags, and some were even wearing straw sandals.

It is like a prosperous city in the south during the Republic of China, and under the extravagant appearance of a few rich people, there are tens of thousands of people living at the bottom, struggling to survive every day.

No amount of beautiful neon lights on the street can hide the beggars in the dark corners of the roadside.

The coolie driver pulls a rickshaw and walks through the streets.

The rail buses shuttle, and the classic cars stop under the neon lights from time to time, and there is the laughter and laughter of beautiful women with heavy makeup.

"Let's stay here for the time being."

Xuanzong took Chen Mo to a dilapidated hotel.

A huge cockroach like a cicada quickly crawled over the counter in front of the two, and the thin boss with a cigarette stick in his mouth, as if he didn't see the two, took out a guest room key and handed it to the two.

"Check out at 12 o'clock at noon, and the overdue deposit will not be refunded."

"Got it."

After the two of them came to the small room, the stuffy and humid environment made people frown, Chen Mo looked at the high-rise building outside the window and said, "Compared to the countries of the Western Continent, is the Gu Xuan Kingdom so far behind?" ”

"The country is poor and weak, and it is not for us to be able to control the martial arts, I heard that the root cause of all this is due to a sect turmoil a hundred years ago, and countless people have fallen in strength through the Xuanwu Taoist, and it has also caused a hundred years of turmoil in the ancient Xuanguo Kingdom, and since then it has been in a slump in the Eastern Continent, hey."

Xuanzong's voice was a little lonely.

Especially after seeing the life of the Hive Organization and the countries of the Western Continent, he realized the backwardness of the Gu Xuan Kingdom more deeply, but he could not do anything about it.

The next day.

Huayimen is on a hill dozens of miles away from the city that never sleeps.

Green hills and green trees, mountain streams and streams.

A rather quaint and delicate courtyard, located between two mountains, just because of the scarcity of popularity all the year round, lack of care, the quaint courtyard is a little more depressed, like a dying old man.

"Master?"

"Master!"

Facing the only two remaining disciples of the Huayi Sect, who experienced this catastrophe and felt their increasingly weak bodies, Xuanzong led the two to the Patriarch Hall and respectfully offered incense.

He reminisced about the past.

He once promised his master that he would definitely prosper the Huayi Gate, but now the Huayi Gate is in the ancient Xuanguo, but it is still only a small sect at the end of the third rate, and there is no hope in sight.

If you continue to hold on, once someone who is consumed by interests comes to the door, you will only be forced to disband after suffering some humiliation, it is better to disband the Huayi Sect in person while you still have some strength to spare, and retain a bit of face, it is better than insulting the ancestor.

Thinking of this, Xuanzong couldn't help but burst into tears.

"I announce that from today onwards, the Huayi Gate will be officially disbanded, and the two of you will come to me in a while to receive some travel expenses, and from now on, you will have your own destiny."

When the two disciples heard this, they immediately scrambled to dissuade them.

However, neither of them has any martial arts qualifications, even if they persist here, it is difficult to achieve anything, and they cannot realize their master's ambitions at all.

"Do you really plan to dissolve the sect and go into hiding?"

Chen Mo was still a little incredulous.

Xuanzong said lonely: "If I wasn't forced to be helpless, how would I give up?" But the ancient Xuanguo is like this, the weak and the strong eat the strong between the sects, and it is justified, with the current strength of the Yimen, it is simply not enough to occupy the mountain gate here, rather than waiting for the latecomers to come to the door to humiliate, it is better to dissolve itself, maybe the descendants will remember the history of this place, and choose to leave one or two books of the sect as a inheritance, I am also worthy of the ancestors and ancestors. ”

Listening to Xuanzong's meaning, it seems that he wants to leave all the family business of the sect, including martial arts, internal strength, and so on, to those who occupy this place later.

"Come on, let me see your basic skills."

Xuanzong, who took this step, seemed to have finally been liberated, and his mood was much better.

He smiled and said, "While I'm still the master here, before I leave, let's find a suitable internal strength method for you." ”

After speaking, Chen Mo began to show himself in various ways under the instructions of Xuanzong.

Of course, Xuanzong couldn't directly test it through the light brain data like a natural disaster, but he was able to judge Chen Mo's basic attributes and basic skill level through the martial artist's vision and experience.

The more Xuanzong looked at it, the more he frowned, and his expression became quite solemn.

Of course, Chen Mo also knew that his basic attributes were definitely not excellent in the eyes of the other party.

"How long can you stay here?"

"Half a year."

Chen Mo's answer made Xuanzong's face even more solemn.

"If I am given three years, and you cooperate wholeheartedly, I have a certain confidence in cultivating you into a malleable talent suitable for cultivating the inner strength of the Yi Sect, but only for more than half a year......"

Xuanzong shook his head slowly.

Chen Mo also knew that his basic skills were definitely not qualified in the eyes of the other party, even if he joined other sects, it was only the level of disciples of the outer sects, if it weren't for the fact that he saved Xuanzong, he probably wouldn't have taken a second look at himself at all.

With his current state, in terms of basic skills, he may not be as good as the two unsuccessful disciples in his eyes.
