Zhang Xutuo's martial arts ideas are also advocating simplicity and practicality, he advocates killing the enemy in the fastest and most effective way, Zhang Xutuo's knife technique is more concise than the word knife method, including attack and defense There are only thirteen styles, but these thirteen sword techniques are not so simple that pawn dealers can also practice.

On the contrary, although these thirteen styles of knife technique seem simple, it is very difficult to really practice, because it is simplified, and the strength of the intermediate fortune is very exquisite, which is like an article written by a master, the words are very simple, without any flowery words, but ordinary people just can't write it.

If you want to understand the essence of these thirteen sword techniques, you must first learn the complexity, and then slowly appreciate the profound meaning behind the simplicity of each step.

Therefore, behind each move of the thirteen-style knife technique, there are fifty-six complex knife techniques as the basis, but even if you understand the simplification of these knife techniques, if you don't have the corresponding training and cooperation, you can't use the power of this knife technique.

The training of Zhang Xutuo's knife technique is to practice the knife underwater, and the strength, speed, explosion and subtle control of the strength can only be done in the underwater training.

But if there is no pill to regulate the qi and blood in the body and the lung capacity of long-distance running training, there is no way to carry out underwater knife swing training, so these are complementary and interlocking.

Yuan Ba studied for three whole years, and only learned a total of seven moves, but that's it, Zhang Xutuo is still full of praise for him, and he himself only learned five moves in three years.

And the last six moves require great strength, and can only be used with a big knife on a horse, Yuan Ba is still young now, and he can't appreciate the strength of the last six knives.

Yuan Ba has been practicing these seven moves day and night for half a year, and he has increasingly realized the subtlety of the concise knife technique, and each simple knife swing is very simple in his eyes, but in the eyes of the opponent, it is too simple to resist.

He finally understood now that it was not that the sword technique was useless, but that the real knife technique could not be learned and could not be learned.

When Yuan Ba slashed out the last knife and let out a long breath, he never dreamed that he could learn such a profound knife technique.

Not only his sword skills, but also three years of devilish foundation building training have made his body reborn.

He can swing a fifteen-pound horizontal knife to hit the target as fast as lightning, his body is agile as a monkey, he can climb a tree several feet tall in two or three strokes, he can run a marathon very easily, and the time required can rank among the top 50 in the next generation.

What makes him feel the most is the improvement of his eyesight and hearing, he was short-sighted in his previous life, but now he has far exceeded the standard of later pilots, a hundred steps away, he can see the feet of birds, his hearing is also very sharp, he can even hear the sound of bangs outside the door when he sleeps.

However, Zhang Xutuo said that his changes are only the first step in building the foundation, and all the foundation building is like this, and there are great changes at the beginning, but after three or four years, the wandering will slow down, and there will be a huge improvement after breaking through the wandering period.

Practicing knives in the courtyard is only one part of his practice of knife skills, and half of the practice needs to be completed underwater.

Yuan Ba removed the cloth shirt and shoes, he was ready to run, he needed to run from here to Qujiangchi, the distance was thirteen miles, he ran differently from others, he had to run barefoot naked, wearing only a pair of homemade trousers, naked is Zhang Xutuo's practice.

Yuan Ba had already seen the light in his aunt's room turn on, he knew that his aunt was going to start copying books again, he couldn't help but sigh lowly, the hard work of life in the past few years has made his aunt obviously a little old, he is already eight years old, and he has more experience in his previous life, he should be able to share his aunt's worries.

Yuan Ba put a five-pound knife on his back, and he was about to leave, when his aunt's voice came from the room, "Yuan Ba, didn't you say that there is a sacrifice in the family today?"

"But I don't want to participate!" Yuan Ba stopped, he had no interest in the affairs of this family.

After all, your surname is Yang. ”

Yuanba didn't move for a long time, and finally he walked out, "It's only the third watch now, I'll go to Wubenhe." ”

He walked directly out of Yang's mansion, walked west for a while, and came to a small river, the source of this small river is in the palace, through an underground river, and from a pond in the northwest of Wubenfang, forming a small river, which flows to Liren City in a zigzag, so the small river is called Wuben River.

At this time, the river water had frozen, and it was shining white and bright in the moonlight, and Yuan Ba took out a small bottle of wine from his bag and took another pill of medicinal wine.

He glanced at a mountain-shaped boulder weighing five or six hundred pounds on the shore, and slowly pulled out the knife from his back, his knife was a barrier knife, which was given to him by Zhang Xutuo, the shape was similar to the horizontal knife, but it was shorter than the horizontal knife, the blade was about two feet long, and together with the knife handle, it was a total of two feet and four inches, which was conducive to hand-to-hand combat.

Yuan Ba jumped onto the ice, his arm was full of strength, and he slashed down with a knife, "Bang!" The knife slashed deep into the ice, straight under the ice, he held the knife in both hands, slowly exerted force, the knife began to cut through the ice, making a sound of "Bang!", and in a moment, he cut a square hole with a length and width of eight feet.

Yuan Ba walked ashore and pushed the boulder on the shore hard, pushing the boulder up to the ice little by little, and with a 'bang!', the boulder was pushed into the ice cave and quickly sank to the bottom of the river.

At this time, his forehead was already sweating profusely, and the pill in his abdomen dissolved, so that his whole body was burned by fire, and he was extremely hot, and he jumped into the river.

It was the coldest season of the year, the river was bitterly cold, as if the marrow of people were going to freeze, Yuan Ba had long been used to it, he jumped into the river, the river quickly submerged over his head, so that he gradually sank to the bottom of the river.

The second knife training course that Zhang Xutuo assigned to him was that from the age of five, he entered the water once a day, and at first he had to swing the knife 500 times at the bottom of the water each time, but three years later, it has risen to 1,000 times to swing the knife, and he is only allowed to breathe eight times in the middle, which means that he has to swing the knife at least 120 times every time he holds his breath, so he is forced to swing the knife as fast as possible.

This is unimaginable for ordinary teenagers, even Chengren can't do it, the first time he practiced, Yuanba drank a stomach of water and almost drowned at the bottom of the river, but Zhang Xutuo had no pity, whipped him mercilessly, and then kicked him into the water, but as time went by, after more than a month, he was already able to do it.

At the bottom of the river, Yuan Ba quickly found the boulder, he grabbed the boulder between his legs, and began to swing his knife quickly in the water.....

The cold and the resistance of the water made it extremely difficult for him to swing his sword, but Yuan Ba had long been used to it, and at the bottom of the dark river, his knife was swinging extremely quickly, and the water surface was splitting one after another.

After a hundred and twenty blows, he surfaced, took a breath, and dived to the bottom again, continuing to swing his sword, again and again.

'Wow!' and he surfaced again, his last breath, this time he was going to challenge himself.

Yuan Ba dived under the water and swung his knife vigorously, his arms were already sore, and every bone in his body seemed to be broken.

In the endless darkness underneath, he forced himself to swing his knife hard, overcoming the soreness and pain of his arm, and the roots of his teeth were almost broken.

He had already swung one hundred and twenty times, which was almost to the limit, but the goal of his challenge was one hundred and fifty strokes, and he only felt that every cell in his body was going to explode, one hundred and thirty-six, one hundred and thirty-seven..... One hundred and thirty-eight, the pain made him unbearable any longer, his lungs were about to explode, and he was almost in a state of deprived of oxygen.

One hundred and forty-eight, one hundred and forty-nine.....

As soon as his legs loosened, his body rose rapidly, and at the moment when he was about to rush out of the water, he swung his last knife in the water, one hundred and fifty!

'Wow!' He finally rushed out of the water, and a breath of fresh air rushed towards him, and Yuan Ba went limp, greedily gulping in the fresh air.....

Yuanba slowly swam ashore, at this time his two arms were extremely sore, although he had been practicing for three years, a thousand swings in the water still made his muscles unbearably sore, Yuanba did not complain, this is Zhuji, since Zhang Xutuo also came like this when he was young, why can't he bear it.

However, if Yuan Ba knew that when Zhang Xutuo was his age, he only needed to swing his knife 700 times in the water every time, he was afraid that he would faint on the spot, and Zhang Xutuo increased all the training volume to him by forty percent.

By this time it was already dark, and the waterhole in the distance was not completely frozen, and housewives from poor families began to wash their clothes by the waterhole, and the stone mallets struck on the ice with a bang!

Yuan Ba leaned against a willow tree by the river, with his back to the bank, he took out a green pill from the small porcelain bottle under his neck and took it, he meditated cross-legged and closed his eyes, the muscles of his body relaxed to a state of selflessness, his attention was concentrated in his mind a little, let the medicinal power slowly spread in his body, and he felt that his physical strength was recovering at an unprecedented speed......
