Every day was uneventful. I inspected the formations in the valley with Xie Yunhan, then stabbed ten monks with spiritual patterns, and then practiced sword skills with Xia Liang.
The cycle begins again and again.
If it weren't for the revenge that the fox demon mentioned before, this kind of life would be really good.
Nine days later, all the monks in the valley had received tatoos, and they were all royal tatoos. During this period, Lu Ye was really feasting his eyes...
After finishing what he was doing, Lu Ye found Xia Liang and prepared to practice swordsmanship with him.
However, Xia Liang said: "In terms of basics, I have taught you everything I can teach you. The rest needs to be understood by yourself in a life-and-death struggle. Simple teaching is no longer of much use."
After all, there are only so many basics of swordsmanship. Xia Liang has given all of his teachings over the past ten days. There really is nothing left to teach Lu Ye.
As for the improvement of sword skills, the most important thing is not teaching, but the accumulation and sublimation in actual combat. The sword skills mastered by each person also need to be slowly honed and refined in bloody battles.
After more than ten days, Lu Ye can feel that his sword skills have made great progress. His foundation is more solid than before, and his understanding of sword skills has also reached a higher level.
It can be said that based on this alone, his strength has increased by at least 10%, which is undoubtedly a huge gain.
So even though he had a lot of grievances with Xia Liang, just relying on his teachings these days, Lu Ye also bowed seriously: "Thank you, fellow Daoist Xia!"
I just don’t know how Xia Liang would react if he had the chance to get rid of the fox demon’s mind control.
He originally wanted to kill Lu Ye, but by mistake, he taught Lu Ye a lot of sword skills.
"I can't teach you basic things, but what I want to teach you today is something else." With that said, Xia Liang took out his long knife from his storage bag, put on a posture, and closed his eyes.
, said: "Attack me!"
Looking at his appearance, he seemed to want to show off something. Lu Ye did not hesitate, put his hand on the handle of the knife, swayed, and rushed towards Xia Liang. He unsheathed the long knife and struck it down with one strike, while keeping a close eye on him.
Follow Xia Liang's movements.
When the Panshan Sword was less than a foot away from Xia Liang, Xia Liang suddenly moved. He raised the long sword in his hand and moved it first, blocking the Panshan Sword.
Lu Ye couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Xia Liang was at the ninth level of Yunhe, and he was only at the fourth level. There was a huge gap in cultivation strength between them. Lu Ye was not surprised that he could block his attack.
What surprised him was that Xia Liang seemed to be able to see his attack even though his eyes were closed.
With the help of the force of the counter-shock, Lu Yepiao retreated.
"Come again!" Xia Liang greeted.
Lu Ye rushed forward again, this time he did not choose to cut, but stabbed straight. Compared with the more powerful slash, such a straight stab was undoubtedly much more concealed.
This guy can block his own slashes with his eyes closed. It can also be said that he can judge his position by listening to the sound. How can he block this concealed direct thrust?
To Lu Ye's surprise, still half a foot away, the long knife in Xia Liang's hand suddenly moved, and he gently deflected the Panshan knife. At the same time, he tilted his head and let the Panshan knife stick to his neck and stab the empty space.
Lu Ye was greatly surprised.
"Come again!"
Lu Ye took action for the third time...
But the result was without exception. Every time when the attack was half a foot away from Xia Liang, he suddenly took action to block the attack.
Although Lu Ye did not use all his strength, it was still incredible to him that Xia Liang could do this with his eyes closed.
He struck more than a dozen times, but he didn't even touch the corner of Xia Liang's clothes.
He then opened his eyes, looked at Lu Ye and said, "Do you understand?"
"Perception?"
"Mind Eyes!"
"Mind's eye?"
"What you see with the naked eye may not be true, but what you see with the mind's eye will never be false." Xia Liang taught earnestly, "This is not a sword skill, but it is a auxiliary function that is useful to all military cultivators.
Secret skill, you said perception, which is not entirely wrong. Most soldiers have their own perception of danger when fighting with others, but the inner eye is based on perception, which is beyond perception.
Secret Technique."
After a pause, he continued: "The monks we come into contact with now are all in the Yunhe realm. The speed of the sword may not be too fast, and the naked eye can catch it, but with the improvement of cultivation, one day, many strong people will take action.
The speed is difficult for the naked eye to catch. How will you respond at that time? Simply relying on your own perception may not have the time to react, but if you can cultivate the secret technique of the mind's eye, it will be different.
I can't see, and with the long sword in my hand, the enemy can't even think of getting close. The secret technique of the mind's eye is unique to my Kuangdao sect. It is similar to the sword heart of the Beixuan Sword Sect. My attainments in this secret technique are also
I'm just a beginner, so I can only defend against attacks within half a foot."
Lu Ye suddenly realized, no wonder that every time he attacked, Xia Liang only reacted when he was about half a foot away. It turned out that this secret technique had a range.
He asked with great interest: "How to practice?"
This is the secret technique unique to the Crazy Sword Sect, and it cannot be practiced except by the elite disciples of the Crazy Sword Sect. If Lu Ye had not fallen into the Valley of the Fox Immortals this time, Lu Ye would never have been able to touch this thing.
Suddenly he remembered that when he was chasing Xia Liang and fighting with him, the opponent's defense really gave him a feeling of impregnability. If Xia Liang hadn't been too seriously injured at that time, he wouldn't have been able to defeat him with this secret technique of mind and eye.
how is he.
Xia Liang showed a look of reminiscence: "When I first practiced this secret technique, I was under the care of my elders and fought with varying numbers of monsters, and my eyes were blindfolded. So if you really want to practice this secret technique
, you have to experience it personally and use your own body to remember the feeling of the crisis. As time goes by and the number of times increases, it will come naturally. We don’t have this condition here. If you have the opportunity in the future, you can practice again."
Lu Ye nodded slightly.
Due to Zhou Yuntian's previous instructions, Xia Liang would never take action against Lu Ye, so even if Lu Ye wanted to practice this secret technique, Xia Liang would not be his sparring partner.
"You should remember that the use of the secret technique of the mind's eye is based on one's own perception. The stronger a person's perception, the easier it is to succeed in the practice."
"Understood."
The key to the strength of perception lies in the mind, and the strength of the mind is closely related to the soul.
In short, the stronger the monk's soul, the easier it is to practice this secret technique, and the soul... is Lu Ye's strength.
After bidding farewell to Xia Liang, Lu Ye returned to his room, activated the formation, and asked Yiyi to be on guard nearby, before taking out the breath fruit core from the storage space.
There are indeed no conditions for practicing the secret technique of the mind's eye in the Valley of the Fox Immortals because no suitable training partner can be found, but the breath fruit core in Lu Ye's hand can provide him with the best training environment.
In the past, when he entered the mirage realm, he would desperately kill the monsters inside to hone his sword skills. However, as his cultivation gradually improved, the number of times he entered the mirage realm gradually became less and less.
Firstly, every time he enters the mirage realm, he has to consume merit points. Secondly, he usually has no shortage of experience in fighting life and death, so he doesn't really need to go into the mirage realm to hone his skills.
But now if you want to practice the secret technique of the mind's eye, the mirage realm is undoubtedly the best choice.
After spending a hundred meritorious deeds, Lu Ye opened the door and walked into the mirage, stood still and closed his eyes.
As soon as he was ready, the nearby fog suddenly rolled, and a figure rushed out of it, charging at him fiercely.
The power of this figure's attack was only that of a fourth-level monk in Yunhe, which was on the same level as Lu Ye's cultivation. It was wrapped in mist, making it difficult to see its appearance and to distinguish its gender.
When encountering such an enemy on a daily basis, Lu Ye would be able to chop him down with one strike of his sword.
But with his eyes closed now, Lu Ye could only judge the enemy's movements through his own perception and some sounds, which was undoubtedly a huge test for him.
Suddenly a strong wind blew against his face. Lu Ye followed his instinct, unsheathed his long sword and slashed it out.
However, this knife did not hit anything. Instead, he felt a pain in his abdomen and was injured by the opponent.
Another strong wind came. Lu Ye turned around and lifted the Panshan knife to the side. Still no success was achieved, and he felt pain again.
A moment later, on the second floor, Lu Ye opened his eyes. There was a tingling sensation in his mind, which made the corners of his eyes jump.
An enemy with the same cultivation level as him, a guy who could usually be chopped down with one sword, but after he closed his eyes, he actually killed him out of the mirage realm with less than a cup of tea!
How could Lu Ye endure this?
Come again!
After another cup of tea, Lu Ye opened his eyes again.
Come again!
After going through this cycle for more than ten times, Lu Ye's face turned slightly pale.
Even if his soul is powerful, dying from the mirage realm once or twice has no special impact on him, but there are too many times in a short period of time, and even he can't sustain it.
At this moment, he only felt a splitting headache, and his whole head seemed to explode. This feeling had only been experienced a few times when he first obtained the breath core, and he had never experienced it again since his soul became stronger.
However, dying more than ten times in a row was not without gain. With his eyes closed, he was able to hold on to the enemy for longer and longer, and even accurately blocked the enemy's attacks several times.
Xia Liang said that practicing this secret technique of the mind's eye requires personal experience and using the body to remember the various feelings when the crisis comes. Therefore, every time the enemy takes action in the mirage realm, Lu Ye is sensing with his heart, judging the landing point of the enemy's attack, and feeling the inside of his body.
Crisis of birth.
Under the care of his elders, Xia Liang fought with different numbers of monsters and gradually succeeded in practicing this secret technique.
Compared with his cultivation method, Lu Ye undoubtedly has more advantages, because in the mirage realm, even if he is killed, there is not much loss. The experience remembered with the body is undoubtedly more unforgettable.
Moreover, Lu Ye's mind is much stronger than that of monks at the same level, which is also one of his advantages.
He didn't know how much time it took Xia Liang to practice this secret technique, but what was certain was that he would definitely practice this secret technique much faster than him.
