The eccentric old man demonstrates the footwork martial art ‘Lingbo Weibu’, which has a total of thirteen movements.
These movements, performed by the weird old man, were as smooth as running water. Every step he took was obviously just a small step, but by the time he landed, he was already more than ten meters away. It was extremely weird.
Ling Xiao stood aside and carefully watched the weird old man's demonstration. Phantoms seemed to appear in his eyes following the weird old man's movements.
These phantoms were rotating in the depths of Ling Xiao's eyes, and seemed to be demonstrating the strange old man's footwork. Ling Xiao learned a lot and was completely immersed in it.
So after the weird old man finished his demonstration, he still hadn't come back to his senses.
"Hey, this kid is a freak, he has a very high level of understanding."
Seeing Ling Xiao sinking into comprehension, the weird old man was a little surprised: "I claim to be a cultivation genius that is rare to see in hundreds of years, but when I was practicing this 'Lingbo Weibu', I wasn't as fast as this kid. I originally thought that this
The boy also has expertise in the area of 'eating', but now it seems that he is much more than that."
Thinking of this, the weird old man showed a smile on his face: "Perhaps it is a good choice to accept this boy as a disciple."
There must be something wrong with this weird old man's head, or his thinking is very simple and he does things based on his preferences, but he is not completely brainless.
When he saw Ling Xiao falling into a state of understanding, he jumped out tens of meters in one stride, but did not disturb Ling Xiao's understanding.
Therefore, Ling Xiao's realization was very fruitful. When he woke up from the realization, his whole person became a little different, giving people a light and free feeling, as if he was about to escape.
Common mundane things.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you kid is really capable. In such a short time, you can understand the essence of 'Lingbo Weibu'."
Noticing Ling Xiao's sudden change in temperament, the weird old man came over and said, "But there are only skills and no mental skills. At most, you can only exert some superficial skills of 'Lingbo Weibu', and you will never reach the perfect level of cultivation."
Ling Xiao was in a state of joy when he noticed the changes in himself.
But when he suddenly heard the strange old man's words, his brows immediately wrinkled.
Because Ling Xiao, as an old monster who has lived for more than three hundred years, knows very well the meaning of the strange old man's words. All high-level martial arts are divided into two categories: Kung Fu and Mental Techniques.
Kung Fu is the technique used to defeat the enemy, while Mental Technique is the key used to break through the realm of cultivation and operate the Kung Fu so that it can be integrated with the warrior.
If there are only martial arts but no mental skills, then even if the martial arts is proficient, it will be a rootless tree and it will be difficult to reach the peak.
"Old man, when are you going to give me this 'Lingbo Weibu' technique?"
Looking at the strange old man who was somewhat proud, Ling Xiao licked his face and asked.
"Boy, this physical martial art 'Lingbo Weibu' is my special skill. If you want to learn it, the only way to learn it is to become my teacher."
"Worship you as my teacher - this is impossible!"
Ling Xiao initially planned to flirt with the weird old man, but when he saw him mentioning the matter of apprenticeship, he suddenly stopped and lost all desire to fight for it.
You must know that the matter of becoming a teacher is very sacred in Ling Xiao's eyes, and the teacher in his heart has already been chosen, and it is also the only candidate, so it is impossible for him to become a teacher of the weird old man.
Even if he misses the opportunity to practice 'Lingbo Weibu' because of this, Ling Xiao will not hesitate.
"Is it really that difficult for you to become your teacher?"
After being rejected by Ling Xiao again and again, the weird old man became angry: "Damn it, even if you change your mind now and kowtow to me, I won't accept it... Whoever you want to be your teacher, you can become your teacher."
I don’t care about it!”
After the weird old man said this, he stopped talking to Ling Xiao like an angry child.
However, the character of the eccentric old man is indeed not much different from that of a child, and his temper is unpredictable.
When it got dark, Ling Xiao prepared a table of delicious food. The angry and weird old man lost his temper and charged towards the table of delicious food...
In this way, Ling Xiao spent three to five days with this old man who was a little childish but didn't have many bad intentions. The anger caused by the apprenticeship had dissipated not a bit remained.
Of course, the reason why he was able to eliminate the weird old man's anger so quickly was also thanks to Ling Xiao's superb cooking skills.
After Ling Xiao used his special skills and prepared several tables of delicious meals, the weird old man not only lost all his anger, but also started teaching Ling Xiao martial arts again.
In this way for more than twenty days, Ling Xiao not only gained a deep understanding of cultivation and gained a great deal of knowledge, but also gathered together all the subsequent mental methods of 'Lingbo Weibu'.
This means that Ling Xiao has completely mastered the techniques and mental techniques of the third-grade martial art of 'Lingbo Weibu'. As long as he continues to practice and practice, it will definitely become his life-saving trump card.
On this day, the sky was clear and clear.
Ling Xiao got up early and practiced the first-grade martial arts Shattering Jade Fist on the bank of the river full of vitality, practiced the martial arts Immortal Imperial Body horizontally...the footwork martial arts 'Lingbo Weibu', and then got into the bitingly cold river to capture
Fish, shrimps, crabs, turtles... and other ingredients from the river.
After getting enough aquatic food, Ling Xiao set off into the mountain forest by the river. After about an hour, Ling Xiao returned home loaded with various yams, wild vegetables, and various animals...
In a simple shed, a strange old man woke up naturally from his sleep. When he saw Ling Xiao getting so many ingredients, he couldn't help but said happily: "Boy, you got so many good things. What delicious food are you going to make today?"
"Today I plan to create a big scene. I plan to bring together everything that flies in the sky, grows underground, and swims in the water, and create a top-notch feast!"
"What, you want to put ingredients from three systems in the sky, on the ground, and in the water on one table!?"
Hearing Ling Xiao's words, the weird old man said in surprise: "Although I'm not good at cooking, I know that it's very difficult to do this. What day is it today? You actually thought of having such a big scene?"
"Old man, I've been here with you for almost a month, and it's time to leave."
Ling Xiao pondered for a moment, then said: "I plan to leave tonight to participate in the competition held by the family, because the family needs me... so I will take advantage of the time before leaving to cook you a table of top-notch food.
It can be considered a practice banquet!”
"Are you leaving?"
After hearing these words in the early morning, the weird old man fell silent, and after a long time he said: "That's right, young people are ambitious in all directions. This is a good thing. When you go back to participate in the family competition, you must win the first place!"
"You agree to my leaving?" Ling Xiao was surprised.
"Agree, why don't you agree?"
The weird old man smiled and said: "In the past twenty days or so that I have been with your boy, I have eaten well, slept well, and am very happy and comfortable. Moreover, your boy has a very good temper towards me, so we can be considered friends! Since we are friends,
If you need to leave for something, how can I stop you?"
"friend!"
Hearing this, Ling Xiao felt a strange feeling in his heart: "Old man, we are friends, of course we are friends!"
"After I finish handling the family affairs, I will definitely make time to accompany you again!"
"With your words, I will be very happy even if you don't come."
The two started talking and couldn't help but look at each other and laugh.
Indeed, after this period of getting along, Ling Xiao and the weird old man did have a feeling of being both teachers and friends.
At the same time, it also made Ling Xiao clearly realize that the somewhat crazy old man in front of him, but with extremely high cultivation level, was not an evil-minded person. On the contrary, he was better than those so-called gentlemen who often talk about justice.
Much more sincere and kind!
Even though he sometimes has a bad temper and is a bit pretentious, it's all due to his personality. Although he often says he wants to do something to Ling Xiao, so far, Ling Xiao has not been hurt at all.
Instead, I learned a lot of experience and knowledge from the weird old man, as well as two advanced martial arts skills.
These things can be called priceless treasures, because they can save Ling Xiao's life at the most critical moment, which is more precious than anything else!
After a whole day of busy work, Ling Xiao finally fulfilled his promise and cooked the ingredients from the three systems of heaven, earth, and water, and put them on a table.
So that night, Ling Xiao and the weird old man ate and drank to their heart's content, until their bellies were bulging and they couldn't eat any more.
After eating and drinking, the weird old man sighed and said, "Boy, your cooking skills are so damn amazing. When I think about you leaving, my life will be really sad!"
"Old man, how about I stay here for a few days and cook you some more delicious dishes?" Ling Xiao asked tentatively.
"Go to hell!"
The weird old man laughed and scolded: "If you stay here for a few more days, I really don't want you to leave!"
Hearing this, Ling Xiao laughed a few times and couldn't answer.
"Okay, you go, or it will be another day."
Hearing this, Ling Xiao was silent for a moment, a complicated look flashed across his face, and he immediately stood up: "Old man, take care, I will definitely come back when I have time."
After Ling Xiao said that, he turned around and left, disappearing in a blink of an eye.
After Ling Xiao left, the strange old man looked at him with a look of reluctance in his eyes.
…………
After parting ways with the weird old man, Ling Xiao went down the river to the core of the Death Territory where the children of the four major families gathered.
Ling Xiao left this time, just a few days away from a month. During this period, many changes have taken place in the young genius competition. Not only have all the competition tokens surfaced, but the competition has also entered the most severe stage.
After this period of training, the remaining young geniuses' cultivation and experience have skyrocketed, and they have become murderous and cold.
It is precisely because of the growth of these people that other geniuses from various schools who have made slow progress have been threatened with fatal consequences and have to withdraw from the competition.
You must know that the rules of this young genius battle are very strict. Except for the disciples of each family participating in the competition, the elders of the four major families are not allowed to interfere, even if their own disciples die in front of their own eyes.
Therefore, if these geniuses who have been kicked off the competition want to save their lives, their only option is to withdraw from the competition, otherwise they may die in the attack of other geniuses.
At this time, Ling Xiao arrived late, so he could not rush over recklessly to fight with these top talents. He needed to lurk and inquire about the information, especially the strength of these people and the ownership of the competition tokens.
After having a target, Ling Xiao can go to intercept and kill, which can not only reduce a lot of risks, but also increase the success rate of obtaining the competition token.
It should be noted that Ling Xiao's strength has improved by leaps and bounds during this period, but among the remaining top geniuses, there are some who are not inferior to him, so they cannot be careless.
