Chapter 3: The First Martial Arts
The next day, Yang Yi still exercised in the morning as usual.
Yesterday's test made his blood boil, and he thought that he should be more powerful, but the results of yesterday's test told him that there were many people in this Yangfeng Town alone who were stronger than him, not to mention the Spirit Wind Academy, which was known as the "gathering place for geniuses".
So even if Yang Yi passed the test, he didn't dare to slack off, and got up early in the morning to run.
There are many ways to improve combat effectiveness, but the main ones are to increase the strength of the body and the spiritual power in the body. Spiritual power refers to the strength of the reiki that can be used in the human body. The strength of the body can be improved through various exercises as well as actual combat, while the aura can only be improved by absorbing the aura of heaven and earth. However, aura can only be absorbed by martial artists, that is, spiritual power can only be absorbed by physical strength and combat strength of 20.
Yang Yi got up early in the morning to run in order to improve his physical strength, and it was his dream to become a powerful martial artist, and he couldn't slack off in the slightest.
In the morning, Yangfeng Mountain is a little hazy and beautiful, the sun has not yet risen, and there is a faint white mist floating in the air. The grass on both sides of the mountain road is still hanging with water droplets, crystal clear. Some small birds also make beautiful calls, adding a little vitality to the sheep maple mountain in the morning.
Yang Yi ran on the steps made of large stones, which are at the foot of Yangfeng Mountain, and people built this section of the steps for the convenience of walking, but this is a very haode exercise ground for Yang Yi.
Yang Yi ran up two steps with one foot, and the speed was always in a constant state!
After running for about half an hour, Yang Yi was also sweating profusely, so he stopped to wipe the sweat with the towel he carried with him and sat on the steps to rest.
"Whew~" Yang Yi took a deep breath, feeling the beating of his heart and the fresh air in the mountains! Yang Yi straightened his legs, and suddenly a feeling of numbness and crispiness came from his legs, which was the effect of intense exercise, Yang Yi liked this feeling very much, and the feeling of numb crispy was like an electric current flowing in Yang Yi's legs. Yang Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, enjoying the comfortable feeling.
At this time, a sparrow landed at Yang Yi's feet. After jumping a few times, he jumped onto Yang Yi's knee and looked at Yang Yi.
Yang Yi smiled slightly, carefully reached over, and gently touched the sparrow's head twice with two fingers. The little sparrow croaked twice, as if it was very happy.
Since he was a child, these small animals didn't seem to be very afraid of Yang Yi, and there were always some small animals that would approach Yang Yi when Yang Yi was alone. Even Yang Yi himself didn't know that it was weishenme. And Yang Yi himself likes these little animals.
A man and a bird form a wonderful sight, and if someone were around, you would be amazed at how close the usually timid sparrow would be to people.
A gust of wind broke the wonderful scene, and the little sparrows flew up the branches with the wind.
Yang Yi stood up, the wind blowing on his face, and there was a burst of coolness. The dark eyes looked at the sky, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He enjoyed the time of cultivation very much, although it was hard, but the comfort of his body after the practice and the sense of accomplishment in his heart made him not feel the slightest tired.
Moving his neck, Yang Yi walked down the mountain, and just after taking two steps, he encountered Xiaoxue, who also got up to exercise.
"Hey, Yang Yi, good morning!" Xiaoxue greeted Yang Yi as she gasped.
"Well, good morning, Xiaoxue" Yang Yi nodded.
"Are you done running?" Xiaoxue wiped her sweat, and a cute smile appeared on her face, which was slightly ruddy from exercise.
"En!" Yang Yi nodded, and seemed to remember something, "By the way, the teacher asked us to go and see him after passing the test." ”
"Well, the teacher said there would be a surprise for us. Xiaoxue raised her little head and said with some excitement.
"Then let's go. Yang Yi is also looking forward to what surprises their teacher, that is, the old man Maple Leaf, will give them.
The old man's home is not far from the home of the two, and it is also at the foot of Yangfeng Mountain, Yang Yi and Xiaoxue ran down the steps, and they came to the door of the old man with the maple leaf after a while.
It's a dilapidated old house, and the wooden gate has cracked. Yang Yi didn't know how long this house had existed, he only knew that when his parents moved here, the old man Maple Leaf had already lived here.
He still vividly remembers the scene a year ago:
"Yang Yi, do you think we can become martial artists, just like the uncle we just met?" Yang Xue sat on a big rock, holding her chin in her hand, and asked Yang Yi who was sitting on the grass with a thoughtful look.
"Well, I heard that we can pass the martial arts test when we are 15 years old. Yang Yi looked excited, "For this, I exercise every day." ”
"Well, we must be just as good when the time comes. No, more powerful. Yang Xue looked at the big stone she was sitting on, thinking that the uncle just now lifted a stone as big as this one hand, and her heart was full of envy and admiration.
"Hahahaha, little one, you want to be a warrior?" a strange laugh came.
The two of them looked at the place where the voice came from at the same time, and saw a thin old man in a black robe standing somewhere.
The old man's skin was a little chapped, his face was also full of wrinkles, his hair was gray, and his face, which looked obviously old, showed a strong vitality.
The old man had his hands pinned behind his back, and his back was a little hunched. At this moment, he looked at Yang Yi and the others with a smile.
"Who are you?" Yang Xue jumped off the rock and looked at the old man in front of him.
Yang Yi had already stood up and looked at the old man in front of him, his eyes full of doubts.
"Haha, what two lovely little babies. As soon as the words fell, the old man's feet moved, and he instantly came to the two of them, grabbing their hands.
Before Yang Yi and Yang Xue could react, the old man had already let go of his hand.
"You ......" Yang Xue was about to scold the old man's rudeness, when he heard the old man's voice sound: "Not bad, not bad, you can become a martial artist." ”
"What?" both asked in surprise at the same time.
"I said that you two little babies are good materials for cultivating martial arts. Haha. The old man was still smiling.
"Who the hell are you? How do you know that we can become martial artists?" Yang Yi asked while rubbing his wrist that had just been scratched by the old man with one hand.
"I'm the martial artist you are talking about, just now I used my spiritual power to probe your body, your physical fitness, as long as you work hard, you can definitely become a martial artist. ”
Spiritual power? Just now he was caught, there was indeed a warm current, and his speed just now was indeed not the speed of ordinary people. Could it be that he is really a martial artist?" Yang Yi thought to himself.
"Hmph, I don't believe it, a warrior can lift such a big rock. Can you?" Yang Xue also rubbed her wrist, looked at the old man angrily, and then pointed to the big rock she had just sat on and asked.
"Haha, this one, look at it. The old man flicked his sleeves, revealing a withered arm, and thick meridians wrapped around his arm like a great snake. Immediately after, his fists clenched, and a faint orange glow appeared in his fist. With a movement of his feet, the old man's fist slammed into the big rock. I heard a "boom", and the big rock shattered into several pieces.
"Tear~" Yang Yi gasped, this rock is about the same height as him, not to mention a few hundred catties, the old man in front of him actually smashed this rock with one punch, what a liliang is this, this is even more powerful than the uncle they saw before. Now the old man would not believe it even if he said that he was not a martial artist, because this was not something that ordinary people could do at all.
"Good...... It's amazing. Yang Xue also stared blankly at the shattered rocks, muttering in her mouth.
"Haha, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can be like me. The old man smiled and looked at the two little ones who were stunned.
Yang Yi and Yang Xue came back to their senses and looked at the old man, with only admiration left in their eyes.
"Old man, please teach us to cultivate!" Yang Yi and Yang Xue glanced at each other and knelt down together. The two dreamed of becoming martial artists, and they always hoped that someone could teach them, after all, neither Yang Yi nor Yang Xue's parents were martial artists or nobles, so they couldn't be like the children of some martial artists, or the children of nobles, they could be taught very well from a young age. Now, they have met such a powerful martial artist, they naturally can't give up this opportunity.
"These two little babies are in good health, and they are good materials. I've been alone for so many years, so it's good to find two little babies to accompany me. The old man looked at the sincerity of the two and thought.
"Get up, I promise you. The old man laughed.
"Hooray!" the two jumped for joy!
......
In the memory, Yang Yi had already pushed open the door of the old house.
The old house is a courtyard type, with a small courtyard in the middle of the corridor. There is a small pool in the yard.
At this moment, next to the small pool, there was an old man in a black robe.
"Teacher, we're here!" Yang Yi and the others walked behind the old man and said respectfully.
"Well, the old man turned around. He still had a smile on his face as usual.
"Come with me. The old man said to the two, and then walked out the door. Yang Yi and the others hurriedly followed.
The three of them came to the grass at the foot of Yangfeng Mountain, the sun was already quite high at this time, and the sun shone on the green and quiet grass, and the whole grass looked particularly dazzling.
The old man Maple Leaf turned around and said to the two, "Today, I plan to teach you the first martial art. ”
"What, teacher, is it true?" the two looked at the old man Maple Leaf excitedly.
Martial arts are a kind of auxiliary combat skills and moves, and powerful martial arts can make people feel like a tiger with wings. If two people with equal combat power have martial arts skills and the other fights only with their bodies, then the one who can win must be the one with martial arts.
In the Red Earth Continent, distinguishing a person's strength or weakness depends on three conditions. The first is combat power, which in turn depends on the strength of the body and the concentration of spiritual power in the body.
Secondly, it is called mental power. Spiritual power can allow people to control external spiritual power, which is also called "qi control". However, spiritual power can only be cultivated after the combat strength of the body can reach 20, that is, after becoming a martial artist.
Zuihou one is martial arts. According to the strength of martial arts, it is divided into seven levels: "red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple", with the red level being the lowest and the purple level being the highest. Different levels of martial arts have different powers, and powerful martial arts can make up for the gap in combat effectiveness to a large extent.
Of course, the most important thing is one's own strength, a person with a combat power of only 1, even if he uses purple-level martial arts, he can't beat a martial artist who uses red-level martial arts. Of course, the martial arts themselves are difficult to learn, let alone the legendary purple-level martial arts.
And martial arts are also divided into many types: fists, legs, knives, swords, sticks...... Manifold. Only the right martial arts can exert their maximum power.
"En" The old man Maple Leaf nodded, and then said, "Today I will call your martial arts ......"
