Chapter 4 The Scarecrow Trial

 "It's so powerful, the wooden sword can actually pierce the wooden stake."

Yan Xiaoer walked closer, picked up the fence post that he had just pierced, and looked at it carefully.

Finally, we came to the conclusion that the power of the wooden sword is neither too great nor too small.

Because the fence posts have been exposed to wind, sun, and rain for a long time, their insides have long since decayed.

When he thought that the sword pierced was nothing but rotten wood, Yan Xiaoer shook his head bitterly.

"My son, there is still a long way to go in the future. Now you can pierce our fence posts. In a few months, my son will be able to travel around the world, do chivalry and become a legendary hero."

Yan Tiechui also walked closer. When he saw the round sword marks on the fence posts, his eyes froze slightly.

Yan Tiechui is a blacksmith in Kushui Village. Although he has never made weapons, he is still aware of the power of iron farm tools.

Even if it is a rotten wooden pile, it cannot be easily pierced by a wooden sword.

My son is still young, so he needs to be humble and prudent, not arrogant and complacent.

"Dad, I know. I still have a long way to go."

Qin Chuan was far away in the fields, but he could see Yan Xiaoer's emotional changes at any time.

Yan Xiaoer's ability to pierce a fence post with one sword was partly due to luck.

But we can also see the power of Kendo, the three-star Shinto, in its early stages.

"When practicing swordsmanship, you should move forward without hesitation. Humility is a good thing, but you can't stop."

After Yan Xiaoer completed the kendo mission, Qin Chuan also gained a lot.

Rapier proficiency*1, faith value 120.

120 faith points are enough for Qin Chuan to start a new Shinto mission for Yan Xiaoer.

The progress of Shinto missions is tailored based on the Son of God’s own cultivation.

It does not depend on the amount of faith invested.

If you invest a lot of experience in the early stage, it is easy for the Son of God to develop a strong sense of dependence.

Therefore, after investing 60 points of faith at a time, Qin Chuan planned to be more steady.

[Should we consume 40 points of incense to generate the third kendo mission?]

"Yes!"

40 points of incense value, neither too much nor too little.

When Yan Xiaoer gains experience points, he can gain a full 80 experience points.

80 experience points is just a drop in the bucket compared to the experience bar that currently has 1,000 experience points.

But for Yan Xiaoer, it’s perfect.

Any more and he will become frivolous.

[Beginner’s task has been generated: Stab the sword and hit the grass man 1000 times.

Mission reward: Son of God experience value 80, incense value 80.】

As the mission began, the standard methods of cutting grass had been engraved in Yan Xiaoer's head.

When he saw 80 faith points, he felt a little disappointed in his heart.

"How come there are fewer of them again?"

The ups and downs of experience points made Yan Xiaoer feel extremely unstable.

This is like a boy chasing a girl. He wants to get the best reward from the goddess every time he gives.

This time, after helping the goddess wash her clothes, the goddess took him on a one-day trip to the hotel.

The next time he helped the goddess wash her underwear, the goddess just said a sweet thank you to him.

Anyone who suffers this kind of thing will have a psychological gap.

Who doesn’t want to be rewarded by the goddess?

If the reward given every time is rich enough, which licking dog will keep licking.

This is the truth. There are many people who know it, but not many people who really understand it.

Those who understand this truth have become Neptunes in their lives.

"Come on, kid. You still have a long way to go."

This season is the autumn harvest.

Straws that have been harvested can be seen everywhere in the fields.

In several fields, straw has been tied into haystacks, and farmers save the straw for roofing in winter and for feeding cattle.

Yan Xiaoer pulled out a handful of hay from the haystack.

Tie the straw man according to the method in your mind.

The straw man who practices sword stabbing is seven feet five inches tall. The straw man can only use hay and not hemp rope.

The limbs of the straw man need to be prominent, and the neck needs to be prominent.

The vital parts of the body need to be marked.

Especially the position of the heart should be marked with emphasis.

Yan Xiaoer was sitting in the haystack, his eyelids always fighting because he hadn't slept all night.

Occasionally I smack my upper and lower eyelids, and occasionally I smack my eyelids back.

When you really can't bear it anymore, just close your eyes and sleep for a while.

Just like this, while cutting grass people, I rested and regained my energy.

He didn't create a qualified straw man until near night.

Yan Xiaoer has been discriminated against in the village since he was a child, so when he got the opportunity to become stronger, he cherished it especially.

Qin Chuan saw this and was very pleased.

There are many smart people in this world.

But there are very few people who can persist in doing things.

Especially a simple child like Yan Xiaoer is rare.

But as he sharpens his sword, he must endure all the hard work and never miss a single thing.

Tonight, Yan Xiaoer did not work hard to complete the task and lay down at home to sleep.

If he doesn't rest for several nights in a row, a young man like him can't stand it.

Early the next morning, a green figure appeared in the wheat field.

Yan Xiaoer is wearing a short shirt and standing with a sword in his left hand.

The sword in his hand suddenly raised and stabbed the scarecrow sharply.

With the first sword, Yan Xiaoer made a slight mistake, and the wooden sword landed on the scarecrow's arm. Although it hit, it had no power.

When the second sword struck again, he concentrated his sword and stabbed the scarecrow in the abdomen.

It’s still far from the scarecrow’s vital point.

But what makes Yan Xiaoer even more puzzled is that yesterday he was able to pierce a fence post with one sword.

Today I dropped my sword and could only let the tip of the sword penetrate into the scarecrow.

The depth of penetration is no more than an inch.

Qin Chuan also got up early and sat on the top of the ginkgo tree to watch Yan Xiaoer's swordsmanship.

The movements are very standard, and the actual combat effect is very poor. However, it can meet the basic needs to complete the task.

"Don't be in a hurry, there is still a lot of time, be patient."

Qin Chuan said to himself with relief.

Because sword stabbing looks ordinary, but it is very challenging.

When thrusting with a sword, you need to control both the strength and the accuracy.

The usage of the sword is different from other weapons. In the early stage, you mainly practice skills and exercise control and coordination of the body.

In one morning, Yan Xiaoer only thrust out three hundred swords. Most of the time was spent on sharpening his coordination.

The scorching sun was high, and Yan Xiaoer was sweating profusely. He sat in the shade and calmly drank the mountain water used for irrigation.

The reason why Kushui Village is called Kushui Village is because of the water used in the village.

Mountain stream water is not as sweet as other places, but has a faint bitter taste.

Yan Xiaoer drank it in one sip, his mouth full of bitterness.

The sun tilted slightly, and the stubborn boy stood in front of the scarecrow again.

Raise the sword and thrust the sword out.

Yan Xiaoer's eyes are firm and his energy is full of energy.

As the cool breeze began to pick up in the afternoon, more and more people were working in the field.

"Grandpa, what are brother Yan doing?"

"Humph, the fool in the village is going crazy, stay away from him."
