Chapter 4 Cultivation and Swordsmanship
(I took care of the child, I'm sorry for the delay)
"There are still 18 days. It's time to go to Jianwu Tower."
Carrying a sacrificial sword and wearing an off-white sword robe, Chen Zongtang went to Jianwu Tower with a full meal.
In fact, the Jianwu Building like the Qiyao Wuyuan was created to imitate the Four University Palaces.
The Jianwu Building of the Zhenjian Academy has five floors. From the appearance, it looks like a thick sword standing on the ground, standing still despite the wind and rain.
Under the vicissitudes of time, it exudes a kind of edge that belongs to the sword, which pervades the surroundings. When you come here, people can't help but become solemn and put away all the playful mentality.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Zong withdrew his gaze, stepped forward again, and stepped into the Jianwu Building.
The manager of the Jianwu Building is also a formal disciple of the Zhenjian Academy, just like He Tielin.
"This senior brother, my name is Chen Zong, is a new official disciple. I came here to choose the exercises and swordsmanship." Chen Zong said to the senior brother who was in charge of the Jianwu Building.
"The third floor, tell me your name after you've chosen." This senior brother was reading, and when he heard Chen Zong's words, he said without raising his head, his tone was cold, in stark contrast to He Tielin's enthusiasm.
Chen Zong didn't feel anything special, there are thousands of people, all shapes and sizes.
The first floor of Jianwu Building is very large, with more than 20 large bookshelves, each of which is full of books. At a glance, it is estimated that there are thousands of books, all of which are miscellaneous books.
The second layer is human-level exercises and martial arts, and there are many, roughly a thousand or so.
The third layer is the prefecture-level low-grade exercises and prefecture-level low-grade martial arts.
As for the fourth floor is the middle grade, and the fifth floor is the top grade.
There are often very few top-quality martial arts and martial arts. Chen Zong estimates that there are also real sword schools in the palace. However, just like the Qiyao Wuyuan, only certain conditions are qualified to practice. In other words, the model of the Qiyao Wuyuan is to imitate Four University Palaces.
He can't control that much. Chen Zong can only choose one prefecture-level low-grade martial arts and one prefecture-level low-grade martial arts for free. If he wants to choose a more advanced martial arts, he must exchange it with swordsmanship.
The acquisition of Jianxun is not easy, and Chen Zong does not even have it at all now.
Step into the third floor,
Only a few people were there.
The formal disciples of the previous session, all of them have practiced martial arts and martial arts. The third level of martial arts is no longer attractive to them. The goal is the fourth or even fifth level. In the past ten days, the selection has basically been completed.
Chen Zong first walked to the classification of the exercises and scanned it roughly. There were a total of 67 types of exercises at the prefecture level.
name and bio.
Rouyun Jin: There are two levels. The inner strength developed by this exercise is soft and erratic, and is silent.
Flowing Water Jin: There are two levels. The inner Jin developed by this exercise is like flowing water.
...
Zhengyuan Strength: There are two levels. The inner strength developed by this method is upright and powerful, and it is 50% better than the inner strength obtained by other prefecture-level low-level exercises.
Jingyuan Jin: There are two levels. The inner strength developed by this method is very pure, and it is 50% better than the inner strength trained by other low-level exercises.
Chen Zong looked at it carefully.
Different exercises have different inner strength effects, which is even more obvious than the human-level exercises in the Qi and blood realm.
Human-level exercises at the level of qi and blood, although there are differences in the power of qi and blood cultivated, it is not so obvious. For example, the Chen family's fierce tiger exercise pays attention to qi and blood like a tiger, and it is more of an internal nature. The external manifestations are not obvious. For example, Chen Zong cultivated the True Sword Heaven Absolute Art, which excludes the increase in the power of swordsmanship. The qi and blood he pays attention to is like a sword, and it only makes himself a little more sharp.
But the earth-level exercises are different, and the inner strength that is cultivated is truly different.
In many cases, what kind of inner strength method a martial artist cultivates will determine what kind of martial arts a martial artist cultivates.
For example, there is a martial artist who has practiced soft cloud jin, which tends to be gentle. Otherwise, not only will it not be able to fully exert its power, but it will drag its legs back, or even damage itself.
In the same way, a martial artist who cultivates strong inner strength is not suitable for practicing those small martial arts.
After reading all the names and profiles of more than 60 exercises, Chen Zong did not choose in a hurry.
At the level of practicing Jin Jing, human-level martial arts can no longer give full play to one's strength. After all, human-level martial arts are driven by the power of qi and blood, but training Jing Jing mainly focuses on internal energy, which are two different powers. , Undoubtedly, the inner strength will be much stronger. Chen Zong, who has just extracted a ray of original inner strength, has a deep understanding of this.
You must know that the original inner strength, but the essence of the combination of the power of the body and the power of pure yang qi and blood, can it be strong?
The number of low-grade martial arts at the prefecture level is more than that of kung fu. Among them, swordsmanship is the main one, and there are hundreds of them. There are also several types of boxing, palm, leg, and fingering. In addition, there are movement and footwork.
"What martial arts should I choose?" Staring at the numerous martial arts, Chen Zong thought.
Now, the Tianguang Cloud Shadow Sword and the Lightning Lightning Sword still have very powerful lethal power, and it is not a problem to deal with the practice of the power. Extreme Thunder Killing Sword, the power is also amazing, but it is estimated that it is difficult to deal with the second turn of the training force.
After going through a few things and coming from the edge of life and death, Chen Zong understands the cruelty of the road of warriors. His enemies are not only warriors of the same level. Those warriors whose cultivation is higher than himself and stronger than himself may also become his own. enemy.
Not to mention anything else, a single Black Demon Gate is like a dark cloud.
It’s not right to stay where you are, you have to look forward.
"Choose a swordsmanship first." Soon, Chen Zong made a decision, blindly dodging and passive beatings were not his preference, and attacking was the first choice.
There are hundreds of swordsmanships.
Xuanguang Swordsmanship: There are seven moves in total. The sword brings out the mysterious light, which can interfere with the sight. The first move and the fifth move are the basic sword moves. After all of them are practiced, the last two moves can be practiced.
Stormrage Swordsmanship: There are eight strokes in total. The sword is roaring like a storm, with heavy momentum. The first to sixth strokes are basic sword strokes. After all of them are practiced, the last two strokes can be practiced.
...
From the introduction, there are obvious differences between earth-level swordsmanship and human-level swordsmanship.
Chen Zong read all the hundreds of low-grade swordsmanships at the ground level. Each of these swordsmanships has its own characteristics. Some focus on the interference of light and shadow on the line of sight, some pay attention to the shock of momentum, some pay attention to gentleness and continuity, and some pay attention to silence. , Some pay attention to being tricky and ruthless, some pay attention to pressing people with force, some pay attention to the supremacy of skills and so on.
"Any swordsmanship is suitable for me to practice." Chen Zong secretly said that his foundation in swordsmanship is very solid, which is closely related to the basic eighteen forms of practice and the four key points of hard swordsmanship, but there must be a choice.
"The three-in-one martial arts realm of mind, eye and hand can make my sword faster, and my sword speed is faster than that of a martial artist of the same level."
"The most suitable swordsmanship for me is either the swordsmanship that focuses on strength, combined with the extraordinary speed of the sword, to achieve equal emphasis on strength and speed, and maximize the power."
"Either it is a swordsmanship that focuses on lethality. Under the extraordinary speed of the sword, it hits the target faster and causes damage."
Strength and lethality seem to be the same thing, but to distinguish them carefully are two different things.
"Either is the swordsmanship that pays attention to speed, and further improves the speed of the sword to the extreme."
This is the best option for you right now.
As a martial artist, it is best to master a few more martial arts, which means more means, more flexible combat, and less restraint, but time and energy are limited. In the current situation, Chen Zong can only choose one.
"Sharp-edged swordsmanship, this is a swordsmanship that focuses on lethality."
"Sanyue swordsmanship, this is a swordsmanship that focuses on strength."
"Wind-cutting swordsmanship, this is a swordsmanship that focuses on speed."
"how to choose?"
"Make the most of your advantages, it's you, the wind-cutting swordsmanship."
After making a decision, Chen Zong turned around and walked towards the exercises bookshelf, and now he had to choose the exercises.
The choice of swordsmanship is good, and the choices of exercises are generally numerous. In the end, Chen Zong chose Zhengyuan Jin. His original inner strength was extracted based on his strong physique and pure yang qi and blood. In essence, it was more powerful than ordinary martial artists. There is a lot of pureness. The cultivation of Jingyuanjin can purify the inner energy, but there is a limit.
Of course, this is Chen Zong's own guess, and it is estimated that it is not far from ten.
In a short period of time, there is only one chance to choose a practice method. If you guess it right, Jingyuan Jin will be of no help.
When returning to the second floor, Chen Zong walked around and saw the third level of Lone Star Swordsmanship.
It's just that it doesn't suit me anymore.
"Zhengyuan Jin and Jiefeng Jianfa, you wait first." The senior brother in charge of Jianwu Building put down the book, said lightly, got up and walked inside.
In less than a minute, the other party had two more hand-written books in his hand, one was gray and white, with three vigorous and powerful characters written on the cover - Zheng Yuan Jin, which gave Chen Zong a feeling of majesty, and one was light cyan. , on which is written the sword technique of cutting the wind, the strokes are long and narrow, very smooth, and imply a sharp edge.
"The manuscript must not be leaked or damaged. It must be returned in its entirety within one month. Otherwise, it will be punished according to the severity of the circumstances, and if it is serious, it will be expelled from the academy." The indifferent tone spoke fluently, and it is estimated that he has said it many times.
Chen Zong nodded and put away the two books, turned to leave, and walked quickly. He couldn't wait to go back to practice, and try to master it as much as possible before the arrival of the Nova Tournament.
The first thing to cultivate is Zhengyuan Jin. Only by extracting more inner energy can you better cultivate the wind cutting sword technique. Otherwise, it will be empty and will not be able to exert its due power.
The secrets of Earth-level exercises and human-level exercises are different, but they do not prevent Chen Zong from understanding.
On the second floor of the small building, Chen Zong did it with his legs crossed, his hands interlocked on his lower abdomen, his chest and back pulled up, imagining himself as a tree like a mountain, with a high concentration of spiritual will, eliminating all distracting thoughts, and using the mystery of the first weight of Zhengyuan Energy, Silently reciting formulas cooperate with each other to guide the first primal internal energy in the body, and it will slowly operate.
