"Brother Wu."

After listening to Zhao Yan's self-introduction, Hou Qi hugged his fist at him, "Thanks to you tonight, otherwise I might have fallen inside." ”

He didn't say it politely, but from the heart.

If it weren't for Zhao Yan dragging the seven members of the beheading team, even if Shura was desperate, it would be difficult for him to escape from the building of the command center.

Later, he broke through all the way, if there was no Zhao Yan's rocket, if he wanted to run out, it would definitely not be as simple as being shot twice.

"Sect Master Hou doesn't have to be polite."

Zhao Yan said with a smile.

"My injuries are fine, but you, are you really fine? Would you like to stop and rest for a while? ”

Hou Qi asked.

After coming out of the Marine Operations Command, he obviously felt that the aura on Zhao Yan's body had weakened a lot, and his speed and strength were far inferior to before, he was worried that this was a secret method that Zhao Yan had used before, and now he was about to lose it.

In fact, Zhao Yan just didn't have the bonus of [National Glory of National Art], and his state was completely fine, even better than before!

Although tonight's battle was thrilling, he also gained a lot of experience points:

[You have experienced a hard battle, level experience +7600]

【Skill Point: 1】

At the current upgrade rate, Zhao Yan felt that he had a chance to break through the martial arts in this mission world and rise to a higher level!

"The first layer of martial artists has [National Glory of Arts], and the second layer of martial artists have [Concentration and Guardian One], what skills will be unlocked in the next layer?"

Zhao Yan is looking forward to this.

"Grandmaster Hou, I'm in good shape, it's fine."

Zhao Yan said to Hou Qi.

"It's a pity that even with your help, Brother Wu, I still failed to kill Hoshino Hideki, but instead involved a good man to die for me."

Hou Qi said with a somewhat gloomy expression, "I don't even know the other party's name, so I can't repay it." ”

When Zhao Yan heard this, he asked in detail about the details of Shura's shot:

"In this way, the other party is very similar to the Shura of the four masters of Pearl City."

He heard a lot of rumors related to the four masters from Lu Gu, including Shura, so he told Hou Qi about them.

"I see."

Hou Qi nodded, his eyes were sad, "It's a pity." ”

He has fought all the way so far, and he has seen too many lives and deaths, and he should have been used to the sacrifices of others, but every time one more person dies on the way, he will feel that the responsibility on his shoulders is heavier.

Especially when Shura died to save him tonight, this made Hou Qi even more difficult to let go.

Even as a current grandmaster, he often felt powerless, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and carried it.

Zhao Yan also felt that Hou Qi's mood was a little low, thought about it, and said:

"Xiongguan Mandao is really like iron, and now we are stepping forward from the beginning. Grandmaster Hou, we didn't kill Hideki Hoshino this time, let's kill it again next time! ”

Hou Qi was stunned and turned his head to look at Zhao Yan:

"Xiongguan Mandao is really like iron, and now it is stepping forward from the beginning? From the beginning the more. Haha, hahahahaha! ”

Whew-

The surrounding leaves were shaken by loud sound waves, and the leaves were scattered.

Driven by the vigorous force, Hou Qi's heroic laughter spread far away, shaking the mountains and forests!

Zhao Yan stood aside, and could feel the indelible pride and ambition from the other party's laughter.

He looked at Hou Qi, as if he saw a majestic mountain, and that kind of majestic momentum was impressive!

After Hou Qi smiled, there was something more profound in his eyes, and the spiritual temperament of the whole person also changed.

He reached the realm of a grandmaster in life-and-death confrontations again and again, and after becoming a grandmaster, he also experienced many hard battles, but he was always less enemies and more enemies, facing opponents whose realm was inferior to his own.

Tonight is the first confrontation with opponents in the same realm.

In the battle between Hou Qi and Ishino Zhangichi, although he failed to distinguish the winner in the end, he did have the upper hand, which was helpful for the improvement of his mood.

However, Shura's death left him depressed and his mood affected.

Zhao Yan's words became the finishing touch, which made his mood open up and faintly touched a higher world!

"Xiongguan Mandao is really like iron, and now we are stepping forward from the beginning. Good! Brother Wu said well, if you don't succeed once, you will kill again! ”

Hou Qida said with a smile.

Zhao Yan looked at Hou Qi, whose spirit was completely different from just now, but he didn't expect that he hadn't gained anything from the other party, but he had let the other party gain something first.

"Sect Master Hou, I have some questions about martial arts that I would like to ask you for."

Zhao Yan said.

Although they only got along for a while, he could already feel Hou Qi's bold atmosphere, so he simply said his request directly.

"Brother Wu, just ask, Hou knows everything!"

Sure enough, Hou Qi did not hesitate at all.

"Sect Master Hou, my current realm is only a double trick, if I want to break through to the realm of three tricks, what should I do?"

As soon as Zhao Yan came up, he asked a very 'big' question.

How do you go from double to three?

Even many top masters may not be able to explain this question clearly, but Hou Qi, as a Dan Dao Grandmaster, has extraordinary boxing skills, but he is the best person to solve puzzles.

"From the double trick to the third trick, the most critical step is the transportation of qi and blood. And if you want to carry qi and blood, you must first figure out what qi and blood are? ”

Hou Qi didn't think about it and talked eloquently:

"As the saying goes: practice the muscles and bones on the outside, and practice a breath on the inside. This breath of internal practice refers to breathing, our martial artists breathe and breathe, and the breath that is spit out may not even be able to destroy a piece of tissue paper, but this breath runs in the body, and after a complete set of transformations in the body, it can finally give rise to the power of opening a monument and cracking stones, which is the effect of practicing qi!

And the blood flows in the body, providing energy to all parts of the body, and it is also a vital part of our body's strength. So this qi and blood, you can see it as the source of the strength of the warrior, whether it is bright or dark, in the final analysis, it all comes from qi and blood. ”

Zhao Yan nodded, he knew a lot about similar concepts in advance, but when he heard Hou Qi's explanation at this time, it was immediately clear and clear.

"If you understand what qi and blood are, you can naturally think of what is the key to transporting qi and blood, which is breathing!"

Hou Qi continued.

"Regulating the flow of qi and blood in the body by changing the rhythm of breathing is the most preliminary method of transporting qi and blood. Controlling more qi and blood flow to certain parts of the body on their own initiative, so that they become stronger, improving their physique little by little, and strengthening themselves are the benefits that can be brought by qi and blood transportation.

In ancient times, those Taoist priests meditated and chanted all year round, not only did not cause physical problems due to sitting for a long time, but could strengthen the body and prolong life, that is, slowly improve the physical fitness through the transportation of qi and blood.

Therefore, before the boxers of the Three Tricks realm began to weaken their own qi and blood, the older they were, the deeper their cultivation became. ”

Zhao Yan was stunned.

It is no wonder that the four masters of Pearl City have never fought each other, but Wu Xing recognized that Ji Wanqing, the 'prince of the east', was the strongest of the four.

Because Ji Wanqing's age just happened to be the peak of the 'year of fighting'.

The so-called 'year of fighting' is a period of peak before the weakening of qi and blood, and for martial artists, it is the age group of forty to fifty years old.

"But if you can break through to the realm of the Three Tricks by mastering the breathing method, then why is there so few top masters?"

Zhao Yan asked.

Lu Gu had told him that the number of first-class masters in the entire Shenzhou would not be less than two hundred, but there were only twenty or thirty top-notch masters in the Three Tricks realm.

If you can break through just by mastering the breathing method, the number of top masters will definitely not be so small.

Hou Qi smiled:

"If it's just to carry qi and blood, it's enough to master the breathing method, but what we martial artists pursue is not just to carry qi and blood, but to integrate the three energies."

Speaking of this, he suddenly pointed to the Li River in the distance.

The two of them were standing on a hill at this time, and they could vaguely see the river in the distance by the moonlight:

"Look at the Li River, the mighty stretch spans thousands of miles, when it flows slowly and the water flows calmly, it can nourish all things on both sides of the river, and countless people live; But when the water is turbulent and the waves are raging, it can also destroy everything, making it impossible to resist! ”

Zhao Yan was thoughtful, and somewhat understood what Hou Qi meant.

"The same is true for the transportation of qi and blood, nourishing the body slowly, and bringing great power in an emergency, this power is the power of qi and blood. Practicing the breathing method can only make people slowly mobilize qi and blood, and if they want to urge the power of qi and blood, and even make the power of qi and blood and the power of light and dark energy unified, it also requires martial artists to have fine control over themselves, so although the ancient Taoist priests can carry qi and blood, they may not be kung fu masters. ”

Hou Qi said.

Zhao Yan nodded: "So the key to breaking through to the realm of the Three Tricks is still in control." ”

"One is perceiving, two is controlling. First of all, you have to know all the subtleties of yourself, and then you can talk about subtle control. ”

Hou Qi said.

Zhao Yan completely understood now.

That is to say, the key to breaking through to the realm of the Three Keys is related to two attributes, the Divine Court and the Heavenly Hub.

For others, the improvement of these two attributes is very difficult, it takes talent and time.

But for Zhao Yan, it is enough to add points directly.

Now that his Divine Court is as high as 21 points, he feels that in terms of the Three Tricks Realm, it should be enough no matter what.

The Tianshu attribute is 16 points, even if it is bad, it should not be much worse.

What's more, he still has 3 attribute points that are useless.

"Therefore, the realm of the three keys should be stable!"

Zhao Yan was overjoyed in his heart and thanked Hou Qi for hugging his fists.

Hou Qi waved his hand:

"Brother Wu doesn't have to be polite, don't say that you saved me tonight and blew up the arsenal of the Eastern Navy, just say that you joined my Huaquan Club, I won't have reservations about you, I will teach what I can teach."

Speaking of this, his expression was a little gloomy:

"My Shenzhou is vast and has a population of 50,000,000 people, but there are only three martial artists in the Grandmaster realm. In a corner of the East China Sea, the population is less than one-tenth of ours, but there is a grandmaster, and the number of top masters is not less than ours! Do you know why? ”

Zhao Yan shook his head.

Hou Qi sighed:

"It's just because the East China Sea Kingdom had a new reform ten years ago, and the whole country has made a comprehensive reform to break down all the old barriers. Not only in science and technology, industry, agriculture, the army, etc., there has been a qualitative leap, but also in martial arts.

They established the National Samurai Association, in which more than ninety percent of the country's schools of thought joined in, and unreservedly took out their own genre's kung fu and stunts to communicate with others and discuss them. It is in such an environment that in just ten years, many masters have emerged in the martial arts world of the East China Sea Kingdom!

On the other hand, in my Shenzhou, many boxers from all major sects still abide by the old rules, holding the view of the door, and are unwilling to take out their kung fu to communicate with others, but because of various grievances and grievances, they are fighting fiercely."

Zhao Yan was silent.

From his point of view, he certainly felt that the ideas of these people were anachronistic and pedantic.

But the difference in times and circumstances has created different three views, if he was born in such an era since he was a child, and he has undergone an old-time education since he was a child, he may not be able to have today's views.

"I established the Huaquan Club not only to unite everyone to deal with the Eastern Navy, but also to break down the old barriers and encourage everyone to exchange martial arts. So since you have joined the Huaquan Club, as long as I will, if you want to learn, you can take it! ”

Hou Qi looked at the Li River in the distance and said with a deep look in his eyes.

Zhao Yan looked at this grandmaster and felt admiration from the bottom of his heart!

"Junior, thank you Grandmaster Hou!"

He clasped his hands into fists and bowed deeply to Hou Qi.

Hou Qi turned to look at Zhao Yan and helped him up:

"It's a pity that the power of one person is limited after all, and the power of the Huaquan Club is not much that can be changed."

Zhao Yan thought for a moment and asked:

"I heard that the grandmaster Chen Tingshan, who is known as the 'first hand in the world', is the head of the Bagua Sect, if his old man is willing to go out and call for it, will there be great progress in this matter?"

Bagua Gate martial arts in this world is also the mainstream one, very powerful, Chen Tingshan as the head of the Bagua Gate co-promotion, and at the same time is the 'first hand in the world', if he is willing to stand up and call on everyone to exchange martial arts, but also set up a national association, the effect will definitely be very good.

Zhao Yan thought of this, so he made such a suggestion.

But he never thought that Hou Qi sneered:

"After I left from the Northland, I went to the Central Plains to find Chen Tingshan as soon as possible, hoping that he would stand up and start an association, but he refused."

"Well, Grandmaster Chen."

"A stubborn old horseman, don't mention it!"

Hou Qi waved his hand to interrupt Zhao Yan's words.

Stubborn old horseman!

If someone in the rivers and lakes hears that someone dares to comment on Chen Tingshan like this, they will inevitably be shocked, because it is recognized as the 'first hand in the world', and it is the existence that has truly convinced countless masters and has been dominating the rivers and lakes of China for decades!

However, such an existence is just a sentence in Hou Qi's mouth, 'don't mention it'.

Zhao Yan only saw the domineering spirit of this 'Northland Sword King' at this time!

"Let's go, let's take advantage of the hurry, you show your kung fu, and I'll give you some guidance."

Hou Qi said.

"Good!"

Zhao Yan nodded.

So the two continued on their way.

A ray of morning light pierced the heavy clouds of the sky and shone on the river, and dawn had arrived.

At the beginning of the day, there was a huge movement on the river:

Warships departed from the harbor of the Marine Operations Command in the East China Sea, moving quickly on the river with the loud roar of their engines, stirring up countless waves.

Among these warships, the smallest light destroyer is also more than 100 meters long and nearly 10 meters wide, equipped with five 127-mm 50-diameter naval guns, two twin C-turrets, one single-mounted turret, and two Type 96 25-mm twin anti-aircraft guns!

The largest heavy cruiser had a length of 185 meters and a displacement of 7950 tons!

There are eight main guns of 420 mm caliber and twenty-one anti-aircraft guns of 30 mm caliber on the warship!

The maximum effective range of the main gun exceeded 20,000 meters!

These are steel behemoths that belong to the First Fleet of the Eastern Navy.

As long as these warships are on the Li River, within 20 kilometers of the coast are the attack range of the Eastern Navy!

And these are not the most terrible weapons of the First Fleet, the most terrible thing about the First Fleet is the possession of an aircraft carrier:

With a total length of more than 260 meters, a displacement of an astonishing 17,000 tons, and a total of 70 fighters on board!

You must know that at this time, the number of fighters in the entire Shenzhou Kingdom did not exceed 200.

It is precisely by virtue of such a powerful force that the Eastern Navy can defeat the Shenzhou army and show off its might in the waters belonging to Shenzhou.

"Report to the captain, all pilots are in place!"

On the aircraft carrier "Tenun", Jiro Koguchi, the captain of the First Fleet of the Eastern Navy, was standing on the deck looking at the other side of the river.

After hearing the report, Jiro Koguchi said lightly:

"Take off, let the Chinese people on the other side see the heroic posture of our East China Sea Erlang."

"Yes!"

A moment later, the fighter engine on the deck of the aircraft carrier was started and was about to take off.

After Zhao Yan and the others made such a fuss last night, Hoshino Hideki judged that the Shenzhou Army would definitely seize this opportunity to attack, so he decided to strike first.

Early this morning, he sent the First Fleet of the East Navy to bomb the 13th and 15th armies of the Shenzhou Army on the other side of the river!

When the fighter group of the Eastern Navy took to the air, there happened to be a round of red sun rising from the river.

The endless glow of the sun is reflected on the river and also on the warships of the First Fleet of the East Navy, making these warships very dazzling.

The river breeze blows, and the military flag belonging to the Eastern Navy is waving in the wind, and the hunting sounds.

This is the glory of a mighty empire in the morning light, and it is about to do its best!

At the same time, Zhao Yan and Hou Qi, who had been on the road all night, also stopped at this time.

On this night's hurried, Zhao Yan showed Hou Qi all the kung fu he had learned without reservation, and Hou Qi gave guidance and suggestions for some of his problems.

At this time, the two were standing on a hillside, and Hou Qi watched Zhao Yan quickly perform the Bagua Swimming Dragon Body Technique.

Zhao Yan's speed became faster and faster, and the spine dragon swung more and more violently, as if it was about to break out!

He unreservedly urged his strength to speed up the dragon body.

At a certain moment, his speed reached its peak, and he actually ran out of seven afterimages at once!

歘——

Zhao Yan suddenly retracted his strength and stopped, and white steam visible to the naked eye kept coming out of his head.

He fixed his eyes and saw eight pairs of footprints on the ground, just in a circle.

[Your [Dragon] skill level is increased to Lv2]

A new message has been refreshed on the Properties panel.

"Good!"

Hou Qi smiled and applauded Zhao Yan, "Your understanding is the best I've ever seen." ”

In this night's hurry, Zhao Yan naturally performed the most dragon body method, so Hou Qi pointed out the most this method, which benefited Zhao Yan a lot.

Now, after a night of guidance, he has successfully upgraded [You Dragon] to Lv2!

"Thanks to Brother Hou's guidance."

Zhao Yan smiled and hugged his fist at Hou Qi.

After this night of familiarity, his title for Hou Qi has changed from 'Grandmaster Hou' to 'Brother Hou'.

The help Hou Qi gave him was not only the improvement of the Dragon Swimming Technique, but now Zhao Yan felt that he was no longer too much of an obstacle to breaking through the Three Tricks realm!

"You're welcome."

Hou Qi waved his hand and suddenly pointed into the distance, "Brother Wu, look." ”

Zhao Yan looked in the direction of his finger, only to see the river rising to the rising sun, and a round of red sun rising from the line of water and sky, covering everything in the world with a thousand rays of light.

Everything brightens.

"How can you allow others to trample on these great rivers and mountains?"

Hou Qi said in a flat tone.

Zhao Yan looked at the magnificent scenery in front of him, and felt the firmness in Hou Qi's tone, he nodded:

"Yes!"

At this time, the light of the morning sun also fell on the two of them, stretching their figures very long.

"Let's go."

Zhao Yan said softly, and then walked away with Hou Qi with his back to the rising sun.

Compared with the powerful fleet of the Eastern Navy, their figure is not tall, and their future can indeed be regarded as 'Xiongguan Mandao is really like iron'.

But under this same rising sun, they also have high fighting spirit and unyielding soul!
