Chapter 108 Progress (Update 1)
After that, Mo Hua went to Mr. Zhuang's Zuowangju whenever he had time to practice martial arts with Bai Zisheng.
Bai Zisheng was very comprehensible, and his martial arts became more sophisticated every time they practiced martial arts, but Mo Hua's martial arts improved faster.
At the beginning, Bai Zisheng had the upper hand, but when Mo Hua's Shi Shui Bu became more sophisticated, it was difficult for Bai Zisheng to grab the jade pendant on Mo Hua's neck within 20 rounds.
In order to practice martial arts for a longer time, the two changed the 20 rounds to 40 rounds.
"Something's wrong..."
After a practice session, Bai Zisheng frowned.
"What's wrong?" Mo Hua asked.
"Your martial arts are a bit weird..."
Mo Hua looked puzzled.
"It looks ordinary, nothing big, but it's so slippery. I almost caught it, but its body flashed and slipped away from my fingertips. I couldn't catch it no matter what..."
"Doesn't this just show that this body technique is not ordinary?"
Bai Zisheng shook his head, "This body technique, after all, is to use spiritual power to pull the body, but there are many body techniques that use spiritual power to pull the body, and I haven't seen such a tricky one."
Mo Hua didn't understand, "Isn't it just to use spiritual consciousness to guide spiritual power, direct the spiritual power to some meridians and acupoints, and then pull the body to move... Is this difficult?"
It's not difficult, but being able to control spiritual power with spiritual consciousness, and controlling it so accurately, even meticulously, is not simple.
Bai Zisheng looked at Mo Hua again.
Mo Hua is at the fifth level of Qi Refining at this time, but his spiritual consciousness is enough to draw eight array patterns, and he has seen Mo Hua draw arrays, and his pen moves like a dragon and snake, and the pen falls very quickly. In a short while, he can draw a formation with six or seven array patterns.
Bai Zisheng was stunned for a moment, and couldn't tell whether it was the body movement or Mo Hua that was weird...
But he didn't take it to heart. There were so many cultivators and spells in the cultivation world. Some cultivators who practiced certain spells were indeed more powerful than others.
Mo Hua's body movement was comparable to those who suppressed their cultivation. Bai Zisheng was so happy that he couldn't wait.
From then on, he finished his homework early every day, and then sat under the big locust tree, waiting for Mo Hua to come and practice body movement with him.
Suddenly one day, Bai Zisheng asked: "You learned body movement, is it to dodge the Taoist magic of cultivators?"
"Yes." Mo Hua nodded, "In addition to cultivators, there are also monsters."
He might go to Dahei Mountain one day. The monsters in Dahei Mountain are much stronger than cultivators.
"Then you'd better practice with monsters again." Bai Zisheng took a bite of meat and said.
"Ah?" Mo Hua was stunned.
Bai Zisheng said: "The attacks of monsters are different from those of human monks. You can dodge monks, but you may not be able to dodge monsters."
"That's right." Mo Hua suddenly realized.
Monsters are huge, strong, with sharp claws and teeth, and most of them walk on all fours. The trajectory of their moves is completely different from that of monks.
What's more, some monsters are good at attacking with poisonous tails, thorns, saliva and cracked teeth, which is even more weird and tricky.
Mo Hua scratched his head, "But I can't find a monster to practice with me. If I'm not careful, I won't be eaten by a monster again..."
"I'm just saying, just pay attention to yourself." Bai Zisheng said casually.
Mo Hua took this matter to heart.
He estimated the probability of being killed by a monk and bitten to death by a monster.
He felt that the possibility of being bitten to death by a monster was greater.
The Great Black Mountain was dangerous and unpredictable, and the monsters were fierce and treacherous.
As long as he enters the Great Black Mountain in the future, he will have to face monsters, and the monsters' brute force, speed, and strange movements are not comparable to those of cultivators.
"How to spar with monsters? Should I try to be a monster hunter?"
Mo Hua thought about it and decided to forget it.
A few days later, Mo Hua was reading a formation book in a restaurant.
He could already draw the formation of eight formation patterns. In order to save some spiritual ink, he did not draw it every day, so he only read the formation book when he had time.
He could not go to practice physical skills with Bai Zisheng every day.
Aunt Xue knew about Bai Zisheng's sparring with Mo Hua. He let it slip when he was happy.
Aunt Xue was a little angry. She felt that Bai Zisheng was a little playful and disturbed Mo Hua's learning of formations, so she assigned him more homework.
Mo Hua went to Aunt Xue to plead for mercy, saying that he wanted to practice physical skills, so Bai Zisheng sparred with him.
But Aunt Xue obviously did not believe it. She knew that Mo Hua was born weak, so how could he suddenly learn physical skills?
She thought Mo Hua was really trying to excuse Bai Zisheng, so she said, "Good boy, I know you are doing this for the young master's good, but there is no order without rules."
After Aunt Xue finished talking to Mo Hua, she went back and assigned Bai Zisheng a few more lessons.
Mo Hua had no choice but to bring some food to Bai Zisheng occasionally to comfort him.
Zhang Lan, who used to hang out in the restaurant, seemed to have something going on and suddenly became busy. He hadn't been seen for quite some time.
Mo Hua suddenly felt much more quiet and could only read the formation book by himself.
When Mo Hua was reading a book by himself, Aunt Jiang brought a bowl of chicken soup and asked Mo Hua to drink it while it was hot.
Aunt Jiang's single name was Yun, and her husband's surname was Chu. He was also a demon hunter. He was seriously injured in a demon hunt before. The family had no other income and had a child who couldn't eat. Liu Ruhua asked her to come to the restaurant to help. Now her family's financial situation has gradually improved, and her face has also improved a lot.
Although her husband could not hunt monsters, he was good at using traps. He would occasionally go up the mountain to catch some weak monsters and sell them for spirit stones to supplement the family income. Sometimes he would even catch spirit beasts.
These spirit beasts should be raised by the elders of the family or the sect. They accidentally ran into the mountains and gradually became demons. The spiritual energy on their bodies was also much thinner, but the meat was still better than that of demon beasts.
Jiang Yun stewed these spirit beasts into delicious broth, and always reserved some for Mo Hua.
Jiang Yun is good at pastries and frying pine nuts. She learned the cooking skills from Liu Ruhua, and the taste is also very good.
"Thank you, Aunt Jiang!" Mo Hua drank the delicious chicken soup and thanked happily.
Mo Hua was happy to eat, and Jiang Yun was also very happy, but she was not good at speaking, just smiled shyly.
"By the way, is the wooden binding array that I gave Uncle Chu last time useful?"
Mo Hua remembered something and asked.
"Yeah, it's useful." Jiang Yun nodded, "Every time your uncle Chu comes back from the mountain, he always praises the formation for its usefulness. Now the monsters trapped in the trap will not have their fur damaged."
The monsters in the trap often run around and bite, which damages their fur, so they can't be sold for many spirit stones.
After hearing this, Mo Hua found a formation called "Wood Binding Formation" in the "Thousand Formation Collection", which can tie up monsters. Although it costs a spirit stone to activate the formation, the monster's intact fur can be sold for a lot more spirit stones.
"That's it..." Jiang Yun hesitated.
"Is there something wrong with the formation?" Mo Hua asked.
"No, no." Jiang Yun waved her hand, "It's not the formation, it's that your uncle Chu caught a young monster before, and the monster was trapped in the trap for many days, but it didn't die. Your uncle Chu brought it back, but didn't know how to deal with it..."
"Young monster?"
Mo Hua's eyes lit up.
Thank you for the reward from Ender Sky~
Today is still the fifth update.
