Chapter 13: The Afterimage
In Roland City, a teenager ran towards the east in the crowd at great speed, the speed was as fast as lightning, and the crowd felt a gust of wind blowing, and even the appearance of the person could not be seen clearly.
The young man was Qin Cang, he felt that it was past noon, and his heart was even more anxious. Xuandan ran to the extreme, cooperating with the cloud longitudinal step, without the slightest stop along the way. This speed is already his limit, and he still can't catch up like this, and it seems that he can't eat this lunch.
"Qingquan Restaurant" Qin Cang saw these words from afar, and his heart was happy. Desperately ran to the liquor store. When he came to the wine shop and found that there was no one inside, Qin Cang's heart suddenly became cold.
"Your name is Qin Cang?" asked an old man walking out of the back hall of the store.
"Yes. How do the old-timers know?" Qin Cang, who looked tired, sat on the ground and gasped.
The old man took out a note from his arms, handed it to Qin Cang with a smile, and said, "A gentleman came here just now, gave money and instructed the shop to give Qin Cang's little friend who will come here for a while. Then the words were written on slips of paper. This little friend looked at it. ”
Qin Cang's polite result note reads: Time waits for no one. Go back first for the teacher, and rush back before dark, otherwise you are not allowed to sleep.
Qin Cang smiled bitterly, there was no way, and after gobbling up a good meal, he set off again.
This kind of daily repetition, and after another month, two people sat in Qingquan Restaurant, Qin Cang and Gu Chuan. "Master, it's been the tenth time I've arrived on time, you don't have anything to say, right?" Qin Cang smiled, and he was also very proud in his heart.
"Stinky boy, don't come to me stinky fart. This speed is keeping up, and tomorrow you will start training the dodge contained in the cloud vertical step. It's much more difficult than that mindless rush. Furukawa smiled wickedly: "If you know the pain of training in the future, you should enjoy the life of rushing every day now." ”
Qin Cang was speechless for a while, but when he remembered that he wanted to become a strong man, he immediately treated himself a little harder, wouldn't he just suffer a little? What are you afraid of!
The next day, heart-rending screams were heard in the valley. Gu Chuan was holding a tree branch, his face was cold, Qin Cang opposite him was already covered in bruises, gritting his teeth, and the legs supporting his body trembled slightly.
If I had a knife or a sword in my hand, your life would have been gone. Stand up like a man," Furukawa shouted sternly.
Qin Cang gasped, glared at the branch in Gu Chuan's hand, and roared, "Come again!"
"It's like a boy. After speaking, the branch in Gu Chuan's hand did not pause in the slightest, and it was knocked on Qin Cang's body at once, and each stroke could leave a long blood mark on Qin Cang's body. Qin Cang used the cloud longitudinal step to dodge as hard as he could, but this branch was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, and no matter how Qin Cang dodged, it would be useless.
"Body method Xuan Gong is different from other Xuan Gong, no matter how powerful the attack Xuan Gong is, without the assistance of the body method, it is difficult to hit people. Who would be stupid enough to stand still and let you perform an attack on the Xuan Gong?" Furukawa explained as he waved his branches.
For a whole afternoon, Qin Cang spent the whole afternoon being whipped. "I went back to practice for two days, and after two days we continued to practice. Furukawa dropped a word and flew to the small building in the middle of the lake without looking back.
A light rain suddenly fell in the sky, washing away the scars all over Qin Cang's body, looking at the back of the master in the distance, Qin Cang gently stroked the scars on his body, and tears flowed down a little uncontrollably. was erased by him desperately in an instant, he remembered his parents' expectations for him, remembered that he wanted his dearest sister to live, remembered the red eyes and words of the third grandfather when he was leaving, and remembered that he was repeatedly provoked in the Surabaya Pavilion, but he relied on a woman to protect him. He secretly scolded himself in his heart: Qin Cang, what are you crying for? Without strength, everything is useless, everything is for me to have strength in the future, if I can't endure this bit of hardship, how can I talk about the strong?
"Master, don't wait two days, we'll continue to practice tomorrow. Qin Cang ran back to the house and said to Furukawa.
Furukawa was stunned, he didn't even have hope that Qin Cang would last a day, although Qin Cang's perseverance and mind surpassed those of the same age, but after all, he was only twelve years old. For such suffering, Gu Chuan also let him practice with the mentality of trying it out, but what he didn't expect was that Qin Cang not only persevered, but even gritted his teeth and insisted that he didn't need time to rest. This kind of perseverance is something that Furukawa has to admire. Although the second son will not be low in attainments in the future! Although he was happy in his heart, his expression did not change in the slightest. nodded: "Whatever you want." ”
And just like that, another month passed. In the woods, Gu Chuan was still holding a branch, and Qin Cang was standing opposite to each other. "If I have ten more moves today, I won't have to do it again from tomorrow. Are you ready?" Furukawa said.
"Come on, Master, disciple is ready. "Qin Cang's upper body is already covered with scars, the old wounds have just formed scars, and the new injuries are bloody. These days of training not only cultivated his body and mystical skills, but also created his heart that is not afraid of hardship and pain. This will be of great benefit to him in the future.
The shape of Furukawa's hand changed, and the branch stabbed towards Qin Cang's left shoulder. Feeling the slightest breeze, Qin Cang seemed to react instinctively, slightly sideways his shoulders, and a beautiful arc was drawn down, and this thorn was steadily flashed by Qin Cang. Qin Cang grinned: "First move." ”
Furukawa said coldly: "Hugh is proud, it's only the first move, and it's still far from the tenth move." After speaking, the branches shook and divided into three ways, stabbing Qin Cang's head and shoulders. Qin Cang suddenly knelt on his knees, avoiding these three or three branch shadows. The three paths converged into a line, and he wanted to stab Qin Cang's throat, but he didn't see Qin Cang, and he stabbed again. This second trick was flashed again. In these two dodges, Qin Cang didn't use the magic method of cloud vertical step at all, relying on some of the dodge techniques that Qin Cang had been whipped by this month, and he had summarized them to use. The Xuangong technique is wonderful and profound, but if you don't rely on actual combat to accumulate experience, it is shallow on paper.
Furukawa branches quickly swung three times to split Qin Cang's neck, waist, and legs. Qin Cang didn't panic at all, his neck drooped, his waist was twisted, and his thighs were raised, making Furukawa's three moves fail again. Qin Cang was not excited, but instead ran the Xuandan with a solemn face, he knew that the last three moves of the master were the most difficult. If you can't dodge, all your efforts will be wasted.
"Look at it, little one. Gu Chuan was obviously quite satisfied with Qin Cang's performance until now, and his face showed an imperceptible smile.
With a wave of his big hand, the branch slammed into Qin Cang's face, but Qin Cang found that the strength of the branch was not as strong as before. Qin Cang quickly dodged, but found that the branches were like a poisonous snake that suddenly burst out, attacking him. Qin Cang's body turned, narrowly avoiding this blow, and when he turned around, he caught a glimpse of the branch in Gu Chuan's right hand that had been changed to his left hand that was very close to him at some point, and he didn't stop at all, and suddenly threw it towards his lower abdomen.
Qin Cang's forehead broke out in a cold sweat, and the Xuandan in his abdomen was running to the extreme, and he shouted in his heart: "Cloud Vertical Step Flash." I saw that Gu Chuan's branches shook Qin Cang's body fiercely, as if they were thrown into the air. After a pause, Qin Cang actually stood up a few meters away. Furukawa's eyes widened, and he looked at the spot and spit out in disbelief: "Remnant... Afterimage?"
