Chapter 8: The Completion of Swordsmanship
The next morning, Li Pu came out of the Lu Mansion and returned to his mansion.
When he returned home, he did not enter his room, but went directly to the guest room.
Having absorbed the evil energy last night, he was very eager to know if he could use this energy to improve his swordsmanship.
When the middle-aged swordsman opened the door, he was a little surprised to see that it was Li Pu, the eldest young master of the Li family, who knocked on the door, but he didn't act flattered.
He nodded politely and said, "It turned out to be the eldest young master." I don't know if the eldest young master came to find him so late, what advice he had. β
Li Pu didn't answer his question directly, smiled and asked, "I don't know what Your Excellency is called, are you quite satisfied with the environment and services here?"
"I'm just a wandering swordsman, and I can't afford to be so polite as the eldest young master. My surname is Gao Mingwei, the environment here is very good, I am very satisfied, thank you for the love of the young master. β
"Then I'll take the liberty of calling you 'senior brother'. Brother Gao, you can just call me by my name 'Li Pu', you don't need to be so polite. When I watched the battle on stage, I noticed that my brother seemed to be carrying a burden with him, could it be that he was not a local?"
Gao Wei was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that although the eldest young master of the Li family in front of him looked young, he was very observant. In addition, his attitude is very sincere, his words are very polite, and he is also sophisticated, which is definitely not comparable to the ordinary young master of a big family, so he put away some contempt at the moment.
"The eldest young master's eyes are like torches. It's true that I'm not a native of Fuhe City, I'm coming from Changxi Island in the west, and I'm going to Muyang City in the east. Unexpectedly, when I arrived in Fuhe City, I ran out of entanglements, and when I was at a loss, I heard the news that the eldest young master was recruiting people from the rivers and lakes, so I came to try my luck. I didn't expect that my luck was not bad, and I actually got third. In the end, the corners of Gao Wei's mouth also raised slightly.
Li Pu laughed: "This is fate! Senior brother, if you don't run out of entanglement, junior brother, I want to ask you for advice, I haven't had a chance!"
He is also a human spirit, and he revealed his purpose in such a half-joking tone.
Gao Wei was surprised: "I am alone in the lower part of the body, I have no long things, and after thinking about it, it is a set of 'Wave Chopping Sword Technique' that I have practiced for decades, and I can use it a little...... And this 'Wave Chopping Sword Technique' is widely spread, and it seems that there is no need for the eldest young master to come to the door in person and come to me for advice......"
Of course, Li Pu would not tell him that now that the situation is urgent, he can't find a suitable person to teach him the "Wave Chopping Sword Technique" for a while. He smiled and said: "Senior brother, don't be presumptuous, the younger brother sees that the senior brother's swordsmanship is magnificent, the weather is strict, and there is already a faint demeanor of a generation of masters, and the younger brother admires it very much." β
Gao Wei was about to speak, but Li Pu stretched out his palms straight towards him: "I wonder if Senior Brother can lend your sword to the younger brother?"
Gao Wei was stunned for a moment, and immediately nodded in agreement. Just kidding, in this Li Mansion, which covers an area of hundreds of acres and is magnificently built, it is not easy to find a sword? There is no need to worry that people will covet such a sword as him!
"Brother Gao, please take a look. β
Li Pu respectfully accepted the giant sword handed over by Gao Wei, and then began to practice the "Wave Chopping Sword Technique" - his own version, of course.
From the moment he got the sword, Li Pu suddenly became a different person.
One moment, he was still a harmless and smiling rich son, and the next moment, he completely became a calm and contemplative swordsman.
From the first move to the fourth move, with the first to the fourth layer of the mental method, it was practiced step by step, and Li Pu did not make any mistakes. With Tian Yuan's intervention, he couldn't go wrong.
Gao Wei looked at it carefully from beginning to end, and nodded in his heart, at this time, he had completely regarded Li Pu as a fellow practitioner, and completely put away his contempt thoughts.
After Li Pu finished the drill, he put away his sword and stood upright.
"It's terrifying...... Your swordsmanship is precise and sophisticated, as if you've been immersed in the Tao for twenty yearsβof course, I know it's impossible for your age. There really is a genius in this world!" Gao Wei couldn't help but admire, he paused and said, "However, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not?"
"Brother Gao, please speak, please speak! The purpose of my coming here is to consult Brother Gao!" Li Pu was very excited when he heard that there seemed to be improvements.
"Young Master, there is no problem with your swordsmanship at all, even if I practice it myself, it is just this level. However, there seems to be one point, your swordsmanship is good, but it is just a simple swordsmanship, and you don't instill your will into it. β
"Will?"
"Yes, will! You can call it an 'emotion,' it's something like that. As soon as Gao Wei talked about swordsmanship, he became bright, "You know, swordsmanship is also alive." It's not a dead thing. If you treat it as a dead thing, then you will not be able to burst out of extraordinary power when you are in danger. β
"Supernormal power?"
"Exactly!'Wave Cutting Sword Technique', the real secret is here. The first three moves, 'Three Stacks of Waves of the Abyssal Sea', 'Six Stacks of Waves of the Abyssal Sea', and 'Nine Stacks of Waves of the Abyssal Sea', are more complicated than the other, and each move is more dangerous than the other, but the fourth move is to do the opposite, cutting off the cascading waves of the first three moves with one sword! It is like cutting off the front edge and leaving no way back for yourself! This requires great courage and indomitable momentum!"
"I see......" Li Pu nodded thoughtfully.
"I have a booklet here, which not only contains the complete sword book of the 'Cutting Waves Sword Technique', but also my experience in practicing the 'Cutting Waves Sword Technique' over the years, if the eldest young master does not dislike it, you can take it and take a look. Gao Wei said, took a yellowed sword book from his arms, and handed it to Li Pu.
Li Pu hurriedly thanked him and took the sword with both hands.
"This is the eldest brother's cherished thing, but the younger brother still won't take it. In this way, I will now ask someone to bring the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and copy the sword score in front of the senior brother, what do you think, senior brother?"
Gao Wei originally thought of lending the sword book to Li Pu for a few days, and then get it back when he finished reading it. However, Li Pu proposed to copy it on the spot, in fact, this is more in line with Gao Wei's mind, after all, it is an item that has followed him for many years, and he has never left his body, and he is already very emotional.
In fact, as long as Li Pu flipped through the sword spectrum, Tian Yuan would naturally record all the sword spectrum exactly at all. But in this way, Gao Wei will definitely have doubts. Therefore, Li Pu would rather take a little trouble and copy the sword spectrum from beginning to end, and record the sword spectrum by the way while copying.
After getting Gao Wei's guidance and recording the sword spectrum, Li Pu's goal was basically achieved.
After thanking him again, Li Pu took his leave and returned to his room.
"Tian Yuan!"
Li Pu called in his heart, and the interface of the Tian Yuan system immediately appeared in front of him.
"User: Li Pu.
Martial arts: Swordsmanship of slashing waves.
Status: Layer 4. β
At the bottom right of the Wave Chopping Technique, the boost button has changed from gray to red again. This shows that after absorbing the evil energy, you can start the simulation practice again.
The boost button next to the analog button is still gray. However, Li Pu is not worried, judging from the sword spectrum, the "Wave Chopping Sword Technique" actually has a theoretical highest realm, that is, the fifth layer, but no one has ever practiced it.
As before, he clicked on the red upward arrow that said "Simulated Practice" with his mind, and the number of simulated practice options was intuitively listed.
This time, he found that the maximum number of simulated practices he could choose from was only 1,100 times.
From this point of view, the more advanced the martial arts, the more energy is required to simulate it.
He was a little uneasy in his heart, one thousand and one hundred times, but he was afraid that he might not be able to successfully raise the "Wave Chopping Sword Technique" to the highest level of the fifth layer!
After thinking about it, he went back and looked at the sword book carefully, and then observed the martial arts of the top five in yesterday's competition, and after a long time, he finally made up his mind.
1,100 times is 1,100 times, start the simulation!
The red button flickered, then slowly stopped. The handwriting of "simulation training" has gradually disappeared......
Li Pu stared at the lift button next to him, but there was no movement!
It seems that it was a failure......
Li Pu sighed, it was really unprepared......
Suddenly, the small porcelain bottle containing the blood of the Beast began to get hot in his arms! What was the situation? In fact, on the night he encountered the Beast, Li Pu had been studying the Blood of the Beast, and all the methods he could think of had been exhausted, and the bottle of the Blood of the Beast had no reaction! So much so that he thought that the effect of the blood was just to activate the Tian Yuan System!
And at this critical moment, it is actually hot, could it be that there is something wrong with this?
Li Pu hurriedly took out the small porcelain bottle and uncorked it.
The blood of the beast was still the same as before, scarlet with a hint of green, strange and sticky, like some kind of poisonous juice.
The temperature of the blood was getting higher and higher, and even the small porcelain bottle became a little hot.
Li Pu didn't let go, still holding the bottle steadily.
Maybe the temperature reached a certain critical point, and the small porcelain vase suddenly made a "pop" sound, which was not loud, but it startled Li Pu. I don't blame him for being timid, it's really because he is too focused and easily frightened at this time.
After the sound, a large amount of red smoke erupted from the mouth of the bottle. It seems that the blood of the beast has been atomized.
Although Li Pu had already been exposed to the blood of the treacherous beast, in the face of this strange change, he still took the bottle a little farther away.
The red smoke accumulated, slowly hovering over the mouth of the bottle, like a small red cloud.
It took about ten minutes for the blood in the bottle to atomize.
A red cloud just hovered in the air, neither rising nor falling.
Li Pu's heart moved, and he slowly stretched out his fingers.
As soon as his fingers touched, Hongyun pounced as if he had received some kind of stimulation, and instantly drilled into Li Pu's fingers!
This time, Li Pu didn't feel the pain, but his fingers were slightly hot.
On the Tianyuan interface, the red button, which had been dimmed, became vivid again. Li Pu saw that he could simulate practicing a thousand times!
Li Pu was overjoyed, he didn't expect to be able to turn around, the blood of this treacherous beast is really a treasure!
The red button flashed wildly again, and after a few seconds, the red button turned gray and the handwriting was gone.
The originally gray promotion button next to it gradually turned green with a speed visible to the naked eye, and became a usable state!
Li Pu calmed down his excitement for a moment, and used his mind to put a little on the promotion button-
A blue light flashed on the boost button, and it seemed that the entire interface trembled a little.
Li Pu looked at it intently, and saw that his current state was:
"Martial arts: Wave Chopping Sword Technique.
Status: Layer 5. β
And it did!
The fifth layer of the "Wave Chopping Sword Technique", which no one has ever practiced, has finally been completed!
