Chapter 61: White Rainbow Sword
Under the moonlight, Tang Chen stabbed out one sword after another.
In the sword cultivation chapter, Wang Fengzhou set different goals for different projects.
The basic sword move project needs to be accurate five times for the target within a breath time to be considered qualified. The qualification criterion for Qi refining cultivators is to stack two leaves (or thin cloth) together, and the tip of the sword pierces the first leaf, without damaging the second leaf in the slightest.
One breath, one breath of an ordinary person, is equivalent to one second.
The sword is shot five times in one second, just the speed of this sword is enough to make people jaw-dropping, and each time it must accurately hit the target to be considered successful, the difficulty is quite perverted. In fact, in addition to the speed and accuracy of the sword, there are also requirements for strength, and it is absolutely impossible to sacrifice the strength of the sword.
According to Wang Fengzhou's standards, accurately hitting stationary targets is the most basic requirement, and it can only be regarded as barely qualified. No one will stand still in battle, and to remove the word "barely", you have to accurately hit the moving target. To reach the "Excellent" level, it is necessary to make it more difficult to choose a target or target movement, e.g. to accurately hit a hair strand in a stroke...
The standard of kendo genius is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"If you really want to achieve five swords in one breath, it won't take too much time to complete thirteen thousand swords a day. ”
As a beginner, Tang Chen was self-aware, he didn't pay attention to those seemingly unattainable targets, but followed the instructions of the swordsmanship chapter, starting from the basic movements one by one. Don't pursue speed, and don't pursue hitting the target, it's just to get the basic sword moves right again and again.
To build a building, you need to lay a good foundation, and to lay a good foundation, you need to learn to use various tools first.
For Tang Chen, the basic sword moves are tools, and only after learning to practice can he be qualified to talk about the goals in the future.
The young man waved the sword in his hand again and again, and Wang Fengzhou's interpretation of swordsmanship echoed in his heart.
The three points of swordsmanship are fast, accurate and ruthless, here and now, the word "fast" is impossible to talk about, but the accuracy of the sword and the "ruthlessness" that represents the attitude and belief of the sword, Tang Chen feels that it can be completely kneaded into the practice at this stage. Although there was no real target in front of him, he still set a virtual target for himself that did not exist, and every time the sword stabbed out, the Wind and Thunder Sword always went towards the virtual target.
Release the divine sense, check whether the movements are standardized, and the accuracy of the sword.
"Don't hesitate to play the sword, always have faith in the sword. ”
"A sword swings, and it is unstoppable. ”
"Believe in the sword as much as you believe in yourself..."
Tang Chen tried his best to experience and feel the artistic conception.
This kind of practice was much easier than normal practice, but Tang Chen still felt tired quickly.
The body was very sleepy, Tang Chen had never cultivated like this before, the soreness and stagnation in his arms, waist and abdomen were expected, but the mental exhaustion was something he had not expected. This is not only because repeated practice is too boring, but also because he tries the so-called sword attitude and belief in practice, which is a bit ahead of the curve for a beginner in sword cultivation and a junior cultivator in the Qi refining period.
But Tang Chen didn't plan to lower the difficulty anymore, he needed to make himself strong as soon as possible.
His current speed is far from reaching five swords in one breath, and it is difficult to guarantee even one breath and one sword. When he actually practiced, he realized that people have limits, and it is impossible to maintain constant efficiency for a long time like a machine, which means that he needs to spend much longer time practicing sword moves than theoretical time.
"I can't waste any more time. ”
The boy pondered silently, swinging sword after sword firmly.
Stamina and consciousness are rapidly depleting.
When he couldn't support it, he meditated and breathed, and when his body and consciousness recovered, he got up and continued.
When it was almost dawn, Yan Haoran appeared outside the window.
Seeing that tired face, bloodshot but with stubborn eyes, Yan Haoran knew that Tang Chen hadn't slept all night.
He watched silently, and finally couldn't help but sigh: "It's only now that I'm learning the sword, is it useful?"
Tang Chen didn't stop in his hand, and stabbed out with a sword: "It's better than doing nothing." ”
"That's right. Learning a sword is not a day's work, and you can't rush it. ”
"I have a sense of proportion, I will stop when I produce 13,000 swords a day, and today's goal has been half accomplished. It may be slower to learn at first, but I believe it will be good once you are familiar with it. ”
"You'll have to change your sword. ”
"This Wind and Thunder Sword can't see the light, it has to be changed," Tang Chen stopped, nodded and said, "Moreover, Qi refining cultivators rarely use magic weapons, and most of them are first-grade low-level magic weapons. This third-grade mid-level flying sword can be used even in the condensation period, and it is too conspicuous for me to use it. ”
"That's not all, you come with me. ”
Yan Haoran turned around and walked towards Yan Ji's groceries in the front yard.
Strictly remember that the groceries are complete, providing various equipment and supplies for the monks entering the mountain, and naturally there are also flying swords. Now that the sky is not yet dawning, there is a huge Yan Ji groceries, there is not a shopkeeper and a man, Yan Haoran took Tang Chen directly to the magic weapon counter, and took out a white flying sword from the counter.
"Try this. ”
Tang Chen held the small white sword in his hand, he had never seen this kind of sword in the refining workshop.
"The Baihong Sword is made of stainless steel, and the compatibility between steel and spiritual power is average, so the sword body cannot be accompanied by any formations, and it is assessed as a first-class upper rank, and it is usually used by novices. It's an ordinary flying sword, but it does suit me perfectly. Hey, the hilt of the sword doesn't seem to be the same here..."
"One more thing, what's the use of it?"
"It's a crystal nucleus, which can store the five sword qi of the five swords. ”
"Storing Sword Qi?" Tang Chen was surprised.
Yan Haoran nodded and said, "There is a refiner in Dahong City who tried to improve the Baihong Sword, and he came up with a way to add crystal nuclei to the hilt of the sword, so that the monks can inject spiritual power in advance, and when they fight, they can stimulate the sword qi that the qi refining cultivators can't excite in the first place." His thinking is very good, and the actual combat performance of the improved Baihong Sword has been significantly improved, the only problem is that the cost of transformation and the value of the Baihong Sword have not been taken into account. ”
"The crystal nucleus is not cheap, and the cost of the transformed Baihong Sword is comparable to that of the second-grade upper-grade flying sword. Qi refining cultivators are difficult to afford, so they can only sell it to the foundation building monks, and the foundation building monks themselves can stimulate sword qi, and at the same price, they are more inclined to choose the second-grade upper-rank flying sword with a formation method, and will not choose the improved white rainbow sword. Therefore, the refiner's improvement of the White Rainbow Sword was not adopted in the end. ”
"This sword is a sample, I think it's right for you. ”
"Yes, it's perfect for me!" Tang Chen's eyes were full of excitement and joy.
Ten thousand days of sword practice, even if there is Wang Fengzhou's inheritance jade slip, it will take a long time for Tang Chen to form combat power in the way of the sword. This Baihong Sword can store five spiritual powers, and when fighting, it is released with sword qi, which is equivalent to him being able to send out five attacks equivalent to those of a foundation building monk, which is exactly the life-saving skill he dreams of.
He doesn't have anything else, but he has a lot of spiritual power!
This skill appears on a standard white rainbow sword, which itself is very deceptive.
"Chenghui, five pieces and three products. Yan Haoran spread out his palms.
Tang Chen said: "Five third-grade spirit stones?
"Cost price. ”
Tang Chen took out the spirit stone and sighed, "I now know why no one wants this sword. ”
Yan Haoran said leisurely: "Yes, I finally sold it." ”
