After the battle to defend the bridge, the originally chaotic Divine Grace Continent calmed down with a tacit understanding. Whether it was Gangze or the Ice and Snow Empire, the war in the entire Divine Grace Continent was suspended. According to intelligence, the war in the Ice and Snow Empire was coming to an end.
The family defeated the royal family of the Ice and Snow Empire until only one city was left.
After the Gangze Empire lost so many troops, the reinforcements that had been sent out unexpectedly stopped moving forward in the Brave City. It seemed that at this moment, all the major empires in the Divine Grace Continent were waiting for the final battle.
.
After Wood announced all the appointments and tasks, he sat quietly in the commander's room and looked at everything on the wall. At this time, Wood was thinking about how to attack the Gunze Empire. It stands to reason that without Dick's command, Wood should be able to do it easily.
After taking Gangze, I don't know why, but after this bridge defense battle, Wood became more cautious in his actions, completely changing his previous vigorous and resolute attitude.
The command room was unusually quiet at this time, but a voice happened to disturb the atmosphere here. Wood raised his head and saw Shi Long walking in. Now Shi Long had no hair on his body, and even his eyebrows were burned off.
However, on a face with regular features, the bald head still suits Shi Long's temperament very well.
Wood smiled and said:
"How's your recovery going?"
Shi Long grinned and said:
"It feels good, boss. I seem to have advanced."
Wood was stunned. Shilong was an earth warrior before. The promotion of the earth to the sky does not happen overnight. If he is promoted, Shilong will be a sky warrior. Now Wood is still an earth level. This shows how shocked Wood is by this news.
"Really! Let's go out and try!"
Then the two came to the training ground outside. When the soldiers saw Wood arriving, they all respectfully gave up the field. The two put up their airs, and their fighting spirit exploded. Shilong was the first to attack, but Wood easily defused it, and then the two
After a few more sword fights, Wood was already sure that Shi Long had indeed advanced to the next level.
The two put away their weapons and looked at each other and laughed. Wood said:
"Congratulations! Your level is higher than mine now."
Shi Long touched his bald head embarrassedly and said:
"That's not all your fault, boss."
Wood was in a good mood at this time, and even the doubts he had about attacking Gunze had disappeared.
"By the way, has Laura been promoted? Where has she gone?" Wood asked.
Shilong replied:
"Oh, Laura didn't advance. She went to find Bob to repair her armor. Her armor was greatly damaged in this battle."
While the two were chatting, the surrounding disciples and soldiers gathered around, and a bold disciple said respectfully:
"Commander Wood, I want to ask you something about your cultivation. I'm not sure if that's okay."
Anyway, it's okay now. His subordinates are willing to ask, and Wood certainly doesn't have any secrets.
"Ask!"
A group of soldiers asked excitedly, and the originally quiet training ground suddenly became chaotic. Wood hurriedly stopped everyone and said:
"Wait, let's talk one by one."
The disciple who spoke first said:
"Sect Master, it's like this. You are at the earth level, but you can fight against the pinnacle. Do you have any special fighting skills? Can you teach us."
After asking this question, everyone looked at Wood expectantly, waiting for his answer.
Wood thought for a while and said:
"I think, except for the junior, middle and high levels, there is no difference between the other three levels. For me, combat skills are the most critical issue."
"Combat skills?" The person who asked the question then asked:
"Then how do you explain this combat skill?"
Wood said directly:
"On the Divine Grace Continent, many people can leapfrog challenges and succeed. Most of these people have been trained in the arena or battlefield. Although they do not experience life and death every day, it is almost the same. Fighting under such circumstances
Skills are easily developed.”
After Wood finished speaking, he asked the disciple to fight with another person. Because it was Wood who named him, the two seemed very excited, and of course they fought very hard.
After looking at it for a while, Wood said:
"That's enough. I think you have mastered basic combat skills very well, but your consciousness can't keep up with your actions."
Everyone was puzzled. Even Shilong didn't understand it very well at this time. Wood smiled and continued to explain:
"The consciousness I'm talking about is the subconscious actions during combat. So, if I slash from top to bottom with my sword, how are you going to respond?"
Everyone said:
"Of course it's a horizontal sword block."
Wood smiled and explained:
"This is combat consciousness, but every attack has shortcomings. When slashing with a sword, the best way to block is indeed to block, but what should you do if your opponent's level is one level higher than yours? Can you still block?
"
Everyone shook their heads, and Wood continued:
"There are many corresponding methods, such as side-liao sword and straight thrust, which can be resisted."
Wood then asked Shi Long and the disciple to try it out. Shi Long slashed his sword with one blow, but the disciple on the other side was afraid and used dodge instead of following Wood's method.
Just when Wood was about to speak, consciousness came from the soul body:
"What you said is correct, but you have overlooked one point. You are a genius, and your consciousness is naturally very powerful. This allows you to achieve perfect body skills when fighting. This is also called the state of perfection, but they
no?"
Wood asked in his mind:
"What is perfection?"
The soul body continued:
"The theories you just mentioned can only be achieved by those who have a perfect state. The simplest explanation is to defeat the enemy with one move. Physical skills and courage coexist."
Wood understood, but this also made him frown. This was the first time he heard of this theory. How could he explain it to his subordinates? At this time, everyone was waiting for Wood's evaluation.
After thinking for a while, Wood smiled and said:
"I know why you find it difficult to challenge the closer!"
Shi Long said first:
"Why?"
In fact, Shi Long also found it difficult. Maybe only Wood in the Divine Grace Continent thought it was easy!
Wood sat on the ground, and when everyone saw Wood sitting down, they also sat on the ground. Thousands of people in the entire training ground were waiting quietly.
Wood said:
"As for fighting, in addition to the different levels of human strength, people's consciousness also has levels. Shilong fought with you just now. You wanted to do what I said, but you felt like you couldn't keep up."
The man nodded hurriedly, and Wood continued:
"This is because your fighting consciousness is not enough."
Wood thought of several distinctions made by Chinese martial arts experts, and then said:
"This fighting consciousness also has distinctions. The lowest distinction is like yours. You have to practice until your mind follows your heart, your heart follows your hands, your hands follow your steps, your steps follow, and your body follows your movements. In this way, you can practice to perfection.
It’s over.”
At this time, everyone took out their things and started recording. This was the first time they had heard this statement. This must be Mr. Wood's exclusive thinking.
At this time, the soul body sighed and said:
"Hey, the Martial Saint is the Martial Saint. These few short sentences can express all aspects of perfection."
Shilong continued:
"Boss, I understand this state of perfection, but how do I practice it?"
Everyone is quiet now. This is the most critical issue.
Wood continued:
"The first type is born with the inability to practice, but the second type requires hard work to practice, such as trying to dodge the magic of flying blades in the sky, or studying every basic combat skill, and then find out the flaws, and then go through it tens of thousands of times
Practice, and you can achieve perfection in this way. You can remember this sentence, practice it thousands of times, and your body skills will appear on their own."
Everyone took note of what Wood said. Even Wood did not expect that his short advice today would actually affect the development of martial arts in later generations, which also led to the formation of a true rift between the warrior profession and the magician profession.
The trend of competition has also led to warriors and magic being the two pinnacle professions in the Divine Grace Continent.
While everyone was recording something, Zorro came to Wood worriedly and whispered:
"Master, can I tell you something alone?"
Seeing Zorro's attitude, Wood knew it must be something important, and immediately got up and followed Zorro out of the training ground.
After arriving at a quiet place, Zorro said with a sad face:
