Because he planned to stay in Meiding City for a while, and after obtaining the Dragon Slaying Technique, he needed a quieter place to practice, so Roy simply asked Lingxuan to help rent a house.
Lingxuan naturally complied with the request of the "lone wolf". It only took a short time for her to secretly rent a quiet lakeside courtyard for Roy in the east of Meiding City. All supplies and facilities were fully prepared.
The sun sets in the west, and the clouds in the sky are like fire. While people in the entire Meiding City are still talking about the mysterious "lone wolf" and his works, Roy is already sitting in a shade of green grass by the lake.
In the courtyard on the lush hillside, the Dragon-Slaying Technique was read that made people's hearts beat faster.
Before this, the highest-level Dou Qi skills that Roy came into contact with, the two-star skills that he secretly read while working as a clerk in a weapons and equipment store, were worth hundreds of gold.
For him at that time, let alone buying it, just thinking about it felt luxurious.
Looking at the Dragon-Slaying Technique in his hand, which cost as much as twenty-six thousand gold coins, and thinking back to those days, Roy stroked the cover of the book and was silent for a long time.
Whenever this happens, he can't help but think of his grandfather William and Tom.
Life is an unknown journey.
On this journey, he once trudged with his grandfather in the wind and snow to depend on each other; he also once sat side by side with Tom at the knight training ground at Borabel Castle and watched in fascination.
But now, Grandpa and Tom have stopped in his journey of life, standing in the picturesque place behind them, quietly watching him move forward alone.
Roy knew that if his grandfather were here at this moment, he would be lying on the recliner, pretending to be disdainful and saying, "It's just a five-star exercise. What's there to be proud of? Go and cook."
Then when he left, the old man would be so happy that the wrinkles on his face seemed to be blooming, and his eyebrows and beard could not be distinguished clearly.
If it were Tom, he would definitely be jumping up and down in surprise, with the freckles on his face shining, grinning and saying, Oh, my God, man. Five-star Dou Qi Kung Fu! You are rich! Man, you are so awesome
Amazing!
Then, he would put their heads together and share the skills with him in fascination. They would practice until dark every day, looking dazed and silly while sleeping and dreaming.
Thinking that from now on, he would have to go alone on his journey of life. No matter how beautiful the scenery ahead was, no matter how much joy there was, without his grandfather and Tom to share it, Roy's eyes turned red before he knew it.
The two most important people in life have stopped, ended their journey, and stayed in the place that they can see when they look back.
But I still have to move forward.
Just like a lone wolf leaving a row of lonely footprints in the snowy wilderness. Go looking for your enemies and tear their throats apart with your teeth!
I don't know how long it took before Roy came back to his senses from his trance.
Turning his head to look, Maler, who had transformed into his first form, was sitting on the threshold of the hut holding Oliver in his arms, leaning against the door frame, dozing off little by little.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her beautiful face, like smeared with gorgeous rouge.
Oliver didn't know what he was dreaming about. He scratched his claws in the air, then smacked his lips and stopped moving.
A hyacinth tree in the courtyard swayed in the wind, making a rustling sound.
A fond smile appeared on the corner of Roy's mouth. For a long time, he raised his head and stared at the fiery sunset with half-squinted eyes, and then opened the Dragon-Slaying Art.
The difference in the knight's fighting qi skills lies first in the differences in the running routes.
The meridians of the human body are like a huge mine maze.
Although anyone who is qualified to enter this mine can dig ore from it and eventually come out. However, the different mines passed through, the route of travel, and the focus of the excavation will all lead to differences in the final results.
Some people can come out quickly, bringing with them expensive gold mines. Others take a long time to come out, but they can find iron ore everywhere.
The same goes for the practice of fighting qi. Therefore, people vividly compare the fighting qi practice to a road map for fighting qi to travel through the maze of mines in the human body.
The Dragon-Slaying Technique has been circulating in the knight world for more than a hundred years. According to legend, it was created by a paladin who once slayed a dragon.
During his long-term practice, this knight relied on the movement routes and training focus of two low-level exercises, carefully explored, learned from each other and fused them, and created this five-star exercise.
Although among the five-star techniques, Dragon Slaying Technique is not very precious, this technique is quite practical because its creator was once a knight who had experienced hundreds of battles and fought giant dragons.
sex.
Many of the high-ranking knights in the military of the three major empires today are practitioners of the Dragon-Slaying Technique. In wars, it is not uncommon for both sides to use the fire-based Dragon-Slaying Technique and the water-based Dragon-Slaying Technique at the same time.
Read the Dragon-Slaying Art carefully and time will pass quickly.
After an hour of prayer, Roy had completely memorized the exercise route and key points of the first level of Dragon Slaying Technique.
After repeatedly reciting and comparing, and confirming that his memory was correct, he put down the book, activated his fighting spirit, and followed the route of the Dragon Slaying Jue.
Dou Qi is another form of using the energy of heaven and earth.
Magicians are like a fan, and their magic power is like a fan, used to stir up the power that already exists in nature. The stronger the magic power, the more powerful the elemental array they construct, the larger the fan, and the stronger the wind generated when waving it.
Strong. But the magic power itself cannot be used to attack people.
The knight is like a wine cellar.
They absorb the water-like energy of heaven and earth into their bodies, and through the operation of the exercises, while strengthening the Qi, blood, bones and meridians, it precipitates into a source of energy like mellow wine.
When needed, the source power can be activated into fighting energy and released through the battle ring condensed outside the body. It is used to enhance the attack power of one's own body.
The essence of how magicians and knights use the energy of heaven and earth is different, which also determines the different ways of cultivation between them.
When magicians who do not need to use physical strength practice magic, they need a quiet environment to practice by sitting and meditating.
As for knights whose fighting power comes from physical strength, they must practice fighting spirit in sports.
If Dou Qi wants to grow and develop, the body's Qi, blood, muscles, and bones must also be strong at the same time. Only when both reach a certain level at the same time can a combat ring be condensed. Otherwise, a weak body will limit the growth of Dou Qi. Just like a small
The rivers and ditches are full of water, but they are not as good as the big rivers.
Another prayer time passed, and Roy was completely familiar with the movement route of Dragon-Slaying Jue's fighting energy.
He stood up, took out the ruling in the ring, and walked to the center of the small courtyard.
When he was in Borabel, he was a bystander. Every day he would watch the knights' boys and their attendants, slashing at each other with training wooden swords and walking around in circles in the training ground.
Regarding the combat skills taught by the knights to the servants, Roy only needed to watch them once or twice to master the tricks. However, he had no idea how to use fighting spirit during training.
But today, he finally got his wish and became a practitioner of fighting spirit.
Moreover, he has mastered five-star fighting qi skills!
Almost subconsciously, Roy used the dwarf's ax technique.
As soon as the ax was struck, the black ax head made a sharp whistling sound in the air. The fighting energy running in the body began to run along the established route with the movement of the body, and quickly caused the qi and blood to surge. And the qi and blood were filled with
Muscle strength makes the tomahawk swing more and more fierce, forming a cycle.
At the beginning, Roy's ax technique was a bit raw.
This is not a problem because he is not familiar with the moves, but because the Dragon-Slaying Technique in his body is not very fast when he is practicing it for the first time, and it can even be said to be stumbling.
However, after only two weeks of fighting spirit running, Roy became more and more familiar with the fighting spirit movement route of Dragon Slayer Jue, and the fighting spirit moved faster and faster. The battle ax in his hand also danced more smoothly.
After three weeks, one-third of the dwarf ax skills were used. Roy found that his bones and muscles were aching. When he was moving around, his body bones crackled like firecrackers, although the appearance of his body muscles did not change.
Changes, but there is a feeling of extreme expansion inside.
"That is the inevitable result of the traveling Qi and blood impact. My fighting energy is gradually growing, and wherever it passes, the meridians, bones and muscles will also expand and strengthen, thereby accommodating stronger fighting energy."
Knowing this in his heart, the ruling in Roy's hand danced faster and faster. For a moment, he could only see a black ax shadow wrapped around his whole body under the moonlight.
For more than a year, he has practiced this set of ax skills morning and night. However, because he has no fighting spirit, every time he practices only moves. Compared with the dwarf warriors, they are only similar in appearance at most, not spiritual at all.
And in the joint battle with the dwarves, no one could last to the end. Every time in the middle, many moves would be jerky, resulting in a set of ax skills that were intermittent, the power was greatly reduced, and the demons would "hit" from time to time.
Roy has always dreamed of being able to complete a complete set of ax skills and complete a perfect battle with the dwarves.
But this wish is difficult to realize.
The dwarf's ax skills are so profound and exquisite that they are definitely not comparable to ordinary combat skills. He could easily learn those previous combat skills by just looking at them twice. But this dwarf's combat ax skills were not good enough.
Without the support of a complete set of fighting spirit skills, no matter how talented you are, no matter how photographic memory you have, you will never be able to use a complete set of ax skills. Let alone fight to the end like the dwarves.
But now, with the Dragon-Slaying Technique running in his body and using the dwarf ax technique, Roy immediately felt the difference.
The previously awkward places became easy to change. The angles, speed and power that were originally difficult to achieve became easier due to the support of the fighting spirit of the Dragon Slaying Art.
With the support of fighting spirit, the whole person is like transforming from a child into a burly and strong man. As the ability increases, the effect of the same move using the same weapon is completely different.
A small whirlwind arose. The dead leaves, grass clippings and dust in front of the steps of the small courtyard were swirling, flying around each other like partners at a dance.
Gradually, the whirlwind expanded, and more and more dead leaves and dust were involved.
The originally peaceful courtyard became noisy with the whirlwind. The wind whined loudly, and the trees and flowers in the courtyard were swaying in the wind. The speed became faster and faster, and the sound became louder and louder. After a while, the entire courtyard was filled with noise.
Already enveloped by the wind.
Suddenly, I saw a whirlwind wrapped in countless grass blades and dust, circling like a giant dragon. The treetops and branches were pulled straight in the horizontal direction by the whirlwind, and the leaves and petals flew away from the branches and flower stems.
In that whirlwind, it adds a bit of color to the whirlwind.
However, this whirlwind was only limited to Roy's surroundings. The grass and trees outside the courtyard fence stayed in place quietly, and a butterfly flew back and forth in the moonlit grass. At the door of the cabin, Malt and Oliver were sleeping soundly.
The tips of the hair hanging down beside the girl's ears didn't even sway slightly.
All of this seems to be isolated by an invisible barrier.
Phew! The ruling in Roy's hand instantly produced dozens of ax shadows, which were as heavy as the top of a mountain, as light as flying goose feathers, as sharp as cold wind and snow, and as fast as lightning and thunder.
As his body flashed, the demonic core in his body was spinning rapidly.
However, this time the magic core produced not a vortex of magic power, but a vortex of fighting energy.
After one cycle, the fighting energy will be absorbed by the vortex, continuously transformed into the energy of the magic core, and released in the next cycle.
Roy still hasn't figured out the energy of the mysterious magic core in his body until now.
He only knows that he is different from ordinary people. The magic power and fighting spirit in other people's bodies take on two completely different forms, but his magic power and fighting spirit are both generated by the same energy in the magic core. He just releases magic and uses
When fighting Qi, different effects will appear through different life magic patterns.
This is also the reason why, as soon as he regained his fighting spirit talent, he had five levels of fighting spirit. Because that was originally the "magic power" that was instilled in him by the ruling and grew stronger in his subsequent meditation!
There was a sharp sound of wind, and Roy suddenly volleyed down.
Although the ruling did not produce the axe's radiance that only battle rings possess, the wind radiance inspired by the ax blade still blew a gray trail in the dust on the ground.
The Dragon Slaying Technique has far exceeded the speed of all the fighting qi techniques Roy has seen before. He can clearly feel that every time the fighting qi circulates for a week, the source power in his body becomes stronger, and the speed of the battle ax in his hand also increases.
One point.
However, Roy still felt that he could not enjoy himself to the fullest. It was as if there was an indescribable subtle gap between the fighting spirit in his body and the battle ax in his hand. They could not synchronize.
As the shadow of the ax flies, the fighting spirit of a hundred weeks ends, and a set of ax techniques comes to an end.
"It's a pity that there are only three moves left to create a perfect axe!"
Roy used the last move of the dwarf's axe, and while feeling regretful, he suddenly moved, turned around in a circle by accident, and started practicing from the first move again.
This time, he had a strong premonition that if he tried it again, he would be able to complete a perfect ax technique!
Being able to fight side by side with the dwarves from beginning to end has become an obsession for Roy, who has been facing the surging demons together on the hills every day for more than a year.
Although Roy understood that the dwarf was just a fantasy. Not only did he not say a word from beginning to end, but his movements did not change at all.
However, Roy still regarded the dwarf as his teacher and comrade-in-arms in the endless battles.
As a disciple, he cannot learn the unique skills taught by his teacher time and time again; as a comrade, he cannot complete a battle with Pao Ze side by side. This is simply a shame.
After using the first move, Roy felt as if he had immediately entered a mysterious realm.
Although at this time, he was not in the world of meditation and judgment. However, he clearly felt that the dwarf warrior was right in front of him, leading him.
The Dragon-Slaying Technique moves rapidly through the body. The ax chops, chops, cuts, smashes, swings, turns, and digs. Every move and every move is so smooth.
Gradually, Roy seemed to be in the complete demon clan again.
The three demons roared and rushed towards them. The magic knife in their hands reflected the bright red light of the blood moon. Roy took a step to the left and inserted it into the air between the three demons. He cut out a semicircle in his hand.
It split open the head of a demon, then spun around and flew out, directly slashing into the chest of another demon.
Roy took a step forward, without even looking at the sword light passing behind him, he pulled out his axe, dwarfed and swept his legs, sweeping the body of the third demon warrior up into the air. At the same time, he swung the ax upward, bringing him with him.
With blood and the heads of demon warriors rising into the sky.
The body seems to be covered with countless eyes.
The demons rushing around him, wielding swords and lances, were always easily dodged by him at the critical moment. Every movement was full of an instinctive charm.
kill!
Roy had completely forgotten everything.
He forgot that he was in a small lakeside courtyard in reality, and he also forgot about the original battle in meditation. He was just following the dwarf and would not face the demons directly.
More importantly, he didn't know that when his battle ax and the dwarf's movements were exactly the same, the figure of the dwarf warrior was gradually fading.
One hundred, two hundred... Roy himself didn't know how many demons he had killed, let alone how many moves he had used.
Although he would not be able to withstand the fighting spirit and power of the demons during the battle, the fierce battle still made him discover that the original gap between the Dragon Slaying Art and the dwarf ax technique was gradually widening. As the demons
There are more and more clans, and the Dou Qi movement in the body can no longer keep up.
Roy gritted his teeth and persisted.
One by one, the demons fell down in front of their eyes, and a half of their ax skills were used perfectly.
But there are two moves in it that can already be clearly felt jerky.
A demon came with a gun drawn. This was a high-level demon general. He charged at high speed from outside the crowd, jumped over the crowd, jumped into the air, and caught the gap where Roy had just killed two other demons.
This shot was as fast as lightning.
Roy had experienced the same scene countless times. He subconsciously picked up the ax and smashed it.
This is a move that Roy doesn't know the name of, but he knows that when the dwarf warrior encountered the same situation, he used the same move to deflect the demon's lance, and used the ax blade to flexibly
Slit the other person's throat.
Roy did all the previous actions very well.
Step, spin, swing...
However, when he was heavily swinging the opponent's lance away and needed to immediately turn the battle ax in his hand from powerful and heavy to light and elegant, Roy found that the fighting energy in his body could no longer keep up.
.
Seeing that the figure of the high-level demon general was about to pass by his eyes, but the ax blade aimed at his neck had not yet been flipped in place, Roy almost despaired.
But at this moment, suddenly, a familiar fiery energy rushed into his body from the Judgment, wrapped in the fighting spirit in his body, and entered a meridian that was completely different from the Dragon Slaying Art.
The battle ax turned over, and a bright blood flower bloomed from the demon's neck.
The heat and fighting spirit automatically circulated in the body. Roy's movements also became smoother, and the previous stiffness and stagnation disappeared in an instant.
"This is not the Dragon-Slaying Technique!"
While fighting the demons subconsciously, Roy felt the fighting spirit running at high speed in his body.
The fighting spirit that was previously running along the Dragon Slaying Technique has been completely influenced by the ruling.
It seemed that he was dismissive of the Dragon-Slaying Art, and decided that the energy entering Roy's body would only follow its consciousness, and even Roy himself had no way to control it.
After running for a week, Roy felt his head buzzing and felt a little confused.
He discovered that the Dou Qi running along the new route was not the Dragon Slaying Technique, nor was it an amazing advanced mental technique. It was a one-star technique that could be purchased anywhere on the mainland.
This kind of exercise has a strange name called "Principle Jue".
This literary name makes it impossible for people to have any interest in it. Compared with such a majestic name as Dragon Slayer Jue, Principle Jue is simply terrible.
In fact, the technique itself of Li Jue is also very bad. It is one of the ones at the bottom of the pyramid of all Dou Qi techniques. Not only is it slow to practice, but its combat effectiveness and defensive power are not strong. In addition to strengthening the body,
It's of no use at all.
If it weren't for the fact that the lowest level was only one star, I'm afraid it wouldn't even be ranked as a star.
Most of the people who practice this kind of technique are ordinary civilians who cannot afford good techniques, or who have never thought about becoming a knight, but just want to strengthen their body and increase their strength.
Because of this, this technique was nicknamed "Unbeatable".
If you can't beat it, then you can only be reasonable. This kind of vivid ridicule has added some fame to the secret of truth. Otherwise, I am afraid that many people will not know this fighting qi technique.
Roy determined that the route the energy transmitted from the ruling was traveling through the body at this moment was the technique of the Principle of Truth. It was only different in some subtle ways. But this difference was not enough for people to admit their mistakes.
For a moment, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
A mental book worth twenty-six thousand gold coins was actually tampered with by the ruling and turned into a commodity worth no more than two silver coins. He couldn't help but control it.
But that's strange to say.
With the change in the route of Dou Qi's movement, Roy not only did not feel the slightest discomfort, but instead felt warm all over his body. Although the Dou Qi and the turbulent blood flowing in his body were faster and more violent than before, they were far from what he had been practicing in Dragon Slaying.
The tiredness felt during the last parting was actually very comfortable.
At the same time, under the stimulation of this fighting spirit technique, the ax in his hand became more and more flexible, as if with divine help.
Unable to figure it out for a moment, Roy put the distracting thoughts behind and concentrated on fighting.
I don't know how much time passed, but when a red sun jumped out from the distant mountains, Roy finally used the last move of the dwarf's axe.
When the demon warrior who finally died under the ax fell from the air and landed heavily in the dust, he stopped.
This time, there was no roar of dwarves, no dust and blood rising into the sky. The earth lit up in the sunlight. The demons around him gradually became transparent under the eyes, and finally disappeared completely.
He was the only one left on the vast hill.
Roy turned around sharply.
The dwarf warrior stood behind him, smiled at him, nodded, and disappeared.
