At dawn, the sky was just getting dark, revealing a glimmer of light. Ye Chen experienced yesterday's excitement and barely slept. He woke up at dawn and spent a few coins in the academy cafeteria to buy five big meat buns and eat them all, and then came
Go to the empty martial arts school and prepare to practice martial arts.
It was still very early, and there were already dozens of upper school students practicing martial arts in the entire martial arts school.
The young students from the Upper School of Beilu Academy are relatively strong in strength between the fourth and sixth levels of the body training stage. As the warrior's physique increases, the number of hours he can endure daily practice increases, from two hours to three.
Four hours.
"Senior Brother Yan, morning!"
Ye Chen saw Senior Brother Yan Han from a distance, walked over quickly, and saluted him with his hands in hand.
Yan Han didn't pay attention to him at all, his whole body was slightly tense, and he was still concentrating on practicing the sword with one hand holding the scabbard and the other hand holding the handle, practicing the sword technique repeatedly one move at a time.
Yan Han's sword skills are exquisite. He unsheathes his sword, suddenly leaps forward, and strikes continuously. He performs four sword skills in one breath, all in one breath. The blade cuts through the air, producing a harsh trembling sound, which shines dazzlingly.
Ye Chen stood aside for a while, feeling a chill approaching.
Over the past ten days, it was said that Yan Han was "guiding" Ye Chen, but in fact, it was Yan Han who was practicing sword skills while Ye Chen watched and learned from the side.
Yan Han was extremely aloof and indifferent. He only focused on practicing his sword skills and didn't care about what others were doing. It was simply impossible for him to spend time teaching a new junior brother.
Some senior brothers and sisters from the upper courtyard also came to the martial arts training ground one after another, and many people looked at Ye Chen with gloating.
"Senior Brother Yan Han has always been cold and indifferent. If you follow him to learn swordsmanship, aren't you asking for trouble!" "I'm afraid that within a month or two, this new Junior Brother Ye Chen will be crying and looking for the chief instructor.
, I will learn other martial arts." ""Tiger Leap Sword Technique" is too boring, and only the severe cold will keep practicing it! Who else can practice it!"
Ye Chen didn't say much and silently wrote down Yanhan's moves. Then he took an ordinary steel knife weighing ten kilograms from the knife rest in the school field and came to an open space several feet long.
The weight of this steel knife is not heavy. Ye Chen's fourth-level arms already have more than 400 kilograms of strength in his physical training stage. Holding this steel knife in his hand is as easy as holding a small piece of iron.
"The first move of "Tiger Leap Sword Technique" - draw the sword!"
"drink!"
Ye Chen stood firmly on the dirt floor of the martial arts training ground. He held the scabbard in his left hand and the handle of the knife in his right hand. He leaned forward slightly and quickly drew the knife forward.
"Whoa!"
A cold blade flashed past the front.
Ye Chen put away the sword and practiced repeatedly.
This set of sword techniques is surprisingly simple, with only six moves in total: Draw the sword, Tiger Leap Slash, Tiger Leap Double Slash, Tiger Leap Triple Slash, Arc Moon Slash, and Whirlwind Slash.
Among them, drawing the sword and tiger leaping chop are the primary martial arts.
The two moves of double slash and triple slash are intermediate martial arts. Yan Han, the most powerful elder brother in the Upper House of Beilu Academy, is currently practicing these two moves.
As for Arc Moon Slash and Whirlwind Slash, they are advanced martial arts and extremely difficult to practice. The warrior's own physical fitness must reach the seventh level or above of the late body refining stage before they can be used. No student in Beilu Academy can display advanced martial arts.
.
The previous moves are the basis for the later moves. Only by mastering the previous moves can you practice the later moves.
The first move "drawing the sword" is actually the starting position of "Tiger Leap Sword Technique". It is also the smallest and fastest move. What matters most is the speed of drawing the sword. It is important to draw the sword within an instant.
Sheath, to attack the enemies in front.
"You must be quick to draw the sword! If you are slow to draw the sword, you will have died countless times by the time you pull out the sword. There is no secret to practicing sword skills, you can only practice it over and over again for many years!"
Ye Chen still clearly remembered what Li Cang, the chief instructor of the Upper Academy, said casually when he was instructing students to practice.
Ye Chen kept these words firmly in his mind.
In just one hour, he practiced the "draw the sword" move three thousand times.
The calluses on Ye Chen's right hand were almost covered with blood blisters, and he felt that his right arm was completely numb and had no feeling.
The steel knife weighing ten kilograms in my hand became heavier than a knife weighing one hundred kilograms.
According to the training requirements of "Tiger Leap Sword Technique", the move of drawing the sword must be able to "draw the sword in an instant and cut off a hard wooden stake" before this move can be considered mastered.
This is very difficult.
Because "drawing the sword" is the starting position, Ye Chen can only use about 12% of his 400 kilograms of strength. He must reach extremely fast speed to cut off a hardwood pile with the knife. You know, the hardwood in the school field
The pile is specially made for the students of the lower courtyard to practice boxing and kicking. It can withstand three hundred kilograms of force. It is not powerful enough to cut it without stopping.
Ye Chen has been practicing the "draw sword" move for ten days. He has practiced it no less than 30,000 times and is quite proficient in the move.
"After tempering the body with sixth-grade herbs yesterday, the qi and blood in the body are strong, and the powerful medicinal power of Sophora flavescens is also continuously exerting its effect. I practiced for three or four hours today, and practiced more than 10,000 times!"
Ye Chen thought to himself.
In the morning, I practiced from dawn to noon when the sun was in the sky.
With an extremely strong will, Ye Chen practiced hard for more than three hours at a stretch, sweating profusely. It was not until the students in the entire martial arts school gradually left that he woke up from his practice.
In the entire school, there are only less than a dozen strong upper school students left, who are still practicing hard.
In fact, it's not that others don't want to practice more, it's just that too high-intensity martial arts training will cause trauma to the body. Only a very small number of people can practice for a long time.
.......
Ye Chen rested on the spot for a full quarter of an hour before regaining his strength.
"Let me give it a try and see how powerful the 'Drawing Sword' move I have been practicing for these ten days is!"
Ye Chen came to a hard wooden pile in the school grounds.
"Draw the sword!"
Ye Chen stood steadily in front of a hard wooden pile and took a deep breath.
The whole person bowed slightly and leaned forward, pressing his right hand to the handle of the knife at his waist.
The moment his right hand rested on the handle of the knife, it was almost an instinctive reaction. His fingers vibrated slightly, and he immediately pulled out the knife from its sheath, stepped forward, and swung the blade forward.
A cold light flashed past, and the blade struck the hard wooden stake.
The hardwood pile was motionless.
"Did you fail and fail to cut off the hardwood pile?"
Ye Chen put away the knife and was startled for a moment.
"Bah!"
Suddenly, the upper half of the hardwood pile slowly slid and fell to the ground with a "plop".
"The first move of "Tiger Leap Sword Technique" - drawing the sword, is completed!"
Ye Chen's nervous expression finally showed a smile, and his spirits were greatly boosted.
"It took me ten days to perfect the first move of "Tiger Leap Sword Technique" of drawing the sword. Tomorrow I can start practicing the next move - Tiger Leap Slash. In just twenty or thirty days, I can practice the "Tiger Leap Sword Technique"
The two basic sword skills of "Leaping Sword Technique" are completed!"
"The second move of "Tiger Leap Sword Technique" is Tiger Leap Slash! In an instant, a blade shadow strikes a target. This move must be cut off a stone pile that is harder than a hardwood pile before it can be considered perfect.'
Chop 'emphasis on absolute strength! Split the obstacle in front with one knife."
Ye Chen meditated on the key points of sword skills.
He gripped the steel knife tightly and slashed forward.
call!
...
Ye Chen turned around and looked at the school grounds. In the school grounds, Senior Brother Yan Han was still practicing his sword skills.
Yanhan drew his sword extremely fast, and slashed forward twice instantly, with the shadows of the two swords almost overlapping one after another.
Yanhan can even occasionally perform Tiger Leap Triple Slash.
Of course, Yanhan was already at the sixth level of the body refining stage and had been practicing the Tiger Leap Sword Technique for more than a year. This was not comparable to a fourth level warrior like Ye Chen.
"Tiger Leap Double Slash, in an instant, two sword shadows hit the same target. This level of difficulty is much more difficult than Tiger Leap Slash!"
"Senior Brother Yan is really strong. He is already practicing the intermediate sword technique of "Tiger Leap Sword Technique", the third and fourth moves! I'm still far behind, I have to catch up as soon as possible!"
Ye Chen knew how difficult this was.
Ye Chen continued to grit his teeth and continued practicing his sword.
"Tiger Leap Sword Technique" has too few moves. There are only six moves in total, and the last two moves can only be practiced at the end of the body refining period. They are more boring than other sword techniques.
But that's how practicing martial arts is, practice one move after another.
While practicing martial arts moves, the muscles and bones of the whole body will be coordinated, and the power of the martial arts moves will gradually be exerted. Otherwise, even top-level martial arts will not be able to exert much power without long-term practice by the martial artist.
"Beilu Academy conducts strength appraisal and graduation assessment every six months!"
"Strength assessment requires reaching the sixth level of the body refining stage and completing a complete set of intermediate martial arts skills. These two requirements! Then, you are qualified to take a graduation assessment. As long as you pass the assessment, you can graduate from Beijing.
Graduated from Lu Academy!"
"I spent one month practicing the primary sword technique of "Tiger Leap Sword Technique" and five months practicing the two intermediate techniques: two consecutive slashes and three consecutive slashes. I tried to perfect these two moves and then went to participate in the academy's appraisal.
and take assessments, and strive to graduate from Beilu Academy as early as possible."
Ye Chen grasped the handle of the steel knife tightly, with a look of perseverance on his tender face dripping with sweat.
In the past, he would never have dared to have such an almost crazy idea.
In the past ten years, he practiced every morning, did chores in the afternoon to earn money, and read some books in the evening, almost never relaxing for a day. However, he earned too little money, so he kept buying first-grade and second-grade herbs to temper.
It took ten years of high-intensity training to maintain physical constitution and law before reaching the fourth level of the middle stage of physical training.
Now he has sixth-grade herbal medicine, which can greatly temper his physique. He can spend more than four hours a day maintaining high-intensity martial arts training. He gritted his teeth and put all his strength into sprinting towards the sixth level of the body refining stage, practicing
Becoming an intermediate-level swordsman will no longer be something you aspire to achieve!
