Chapter 4 Black Tiger Blade Technique (below)

  "This is a traveler I met in my early years, a Taoist, taught me the rough knife skills, in the jianghu, can be called third-rate. Don't underestimate just third-rate, which also has over-achievement, third-rate secret books are also enough to enter those big sects of the hidden books cabinet. You take a good look first, there are details of the posture diagram. Try practicing by yourself first. If you're sure you want to practice after reading it, then come to me. But whether you practice or not, this booklet must remember to return it to me."   Zhao Dahu carefully handed the booklet to Lu Sheng.   "Good!"   Lu Sheng knew that this should be Zhao Dahu's crushing stuff.   Just because he could hand it to him so simply, it did not mean that Lu Sheng would be able to rely on the booklet to learn this sword technique.   Practicing martial arts was a delicate job in which many, many details needed to be corrected. It was not something that could be easily learned by following the booklet casually.   "Thank you, Uncle Zhao!"   Lu Sheng carefully received the booklet.   With the Black Tiger Blade booklet, he went straight back to his bedroom, closed the door to his room, and lit a candlestick alone, flipping through the contents inside.   The Black Tiger Blade Technique, said to be a blade technique, was actually only three moves.   All three moves were attacks.   No defense, no dodging, only attack.   The first move Tiger Fury.   The second move Tiger Wei.   The third move tiger whistle.   The moves are also very simple, that is, three different trajectories of the knife. To bring out different power effects.   Lu Sheng looked at it a little bit and knew the general idea. But this is a simple move is simple, but the power relies on proficiency. Relying on the speed of power.   And the power speed, in turn, is about the coordination of the body's power.   So these three strokes of the sword, there is a set of supporting exercise method.   The so-called mental method, is how to cooperate with the life and living thoughts and spirit, will be the sword to play to the most powerful degree.   The heart method, in fact, is about the way to adjust the spirit inside.   The stance is to adjust the outside, the heart method is to adjust the inside, the two matching, to reach the point of essence and spirit as one.   There are three layers of the Black Tiger Heart Method, each layer has no special name, it is the ordinary first layer, the second layer, the third layer.   When the heart method is completed, according to what the booklet says to reach the proficiency of the external moves, only then can it be considered that so the sword method is practiced all the way to a great success.   Gently closing the booklet.   Lu Sheng sat at the edge of the table in silence for a long time, constantly memorizing all the difficult points about the process of this Black Tiger Blade Technique in his mind, recalling them all over and over again.   Then, he silently chanted in his mind.   "Deep Blue."   Instantly, the interface of the Deep Blue Skill Modifier appeared in front of his eyes again.   Within the blue border were rows and rows of a large number of small grids.   In the first row and first column of the grid, his current status was being displayed at this moment.   "Lu Sheng--   Martial Arts:   Black Tiger Blade Technique: uninitiated."   The display was simple, just a Black Tiger Blade Technique that he had just flipped through once.   "Sure enough ...... sure enough it's not an illusion!"   Lu Sheng's body stiffened all of a sudden.   It wasn't fear, but excitement!   This world was too dangerous.   He had originally just planned to be a rice worm and live and die in peace, but now it felt like he had fallen into a snake cave, and it seemed as if many poisonous snakes could be drilled out around him at any time, and if he wasn't careful enough to get caught in the wave, he could become a supporting character in some legendary ghost story. Dead beyond death.   "But now, well at least there is some hope ...... if this modifier really works ......"   Lu Sheng suppressed the excitement and thrill in his heart and began to recall the functions he had written this cheat for in the first place.   The only function of this Deep Blue Modifier, was to modify all the martial arts skills mastered by the game's protagonist.   It can modify the realm of martial arts, directly into the realm of the great or top realm, but the difference is that it can not modify the proficiency, can not change the amount of blood, can not change what strength, speed, internal force, and so on messy things.   The only thing it could change was the martial arts realm it had already mastered!   "As I look at the grid, the only thing that can be modified is this Black Tiger Blade Technique, so what should I do to start modifying it?"   Lu Sheng began to fumble and research.   He was alone in his bedroom, his hand unconsciously flipping through the pamphlet while his attention was focused on the Deep Blue Modifier in his mind.   He scrutinized the modifier up and down over and over again. Soon, he found a very, very small button at the very bottom of the modifier.   Above the button were the words, Start Modification.   "This is it."   With a thought, Lu Sheng imagined a finger pressing hard on this button.   All of a sudden, the entire Deep Blue Modifier flashed for a moment.   He suddenly felt like he could control everything on the modifier at will.   This feeling was marvelous, but Lu Sheng didn't care for too long, instead quickly focusing his attention on the Black Tiger Blade Technique.   The status behind the Black Tiger Blade was Uninitiated, and the moment he focused his attention on it, the status jumped down all of a sudden.   It turned into Introductory.   Lu Sheng's heart rejoiced, feeling that there was a chance, and he continued to focus his attention on the Black Tiger Blade again.   Soon, the Black Tiger Blade jumped down again and turned into the first layer.   Then the second layer, the third layer ......   "It's done!" Lu Sheng's heart rejoiced, it seemed that the modifier was really effective.   He was about to loosen his spirit.   Suddenly that Black Tiger Blade, actually pulsed again.   "Fourth level!!!"   The Black Tiger Blade Technique actually jumped to the fourth layer at once!   Boom!   The instant the Black Tiger Blade Technique jumped to the fourth layer, Lu Sheng felt a roar in his head.   His entire body trembled violently as if he had been struck by lightning as he had a splitting headache.   Plopping down on the table, he took a long time to catch his breath before supporting his head with difficulty.   The bottom of his nose was wet, and there was still a trace of fishy odor.   Lu Sheng reached out and gently touched it, and at a glance, it was dark red blood.   He felt that his eyes were blurry, and there was no part of his body that was not sore. His body was so weak and powerless that even standing up felt laborious.   He raised his hand to look at it, the skin on the back of his hand was miserably white, and his eyes couldn't support him, wanting to sleep very, very much.   "This is a sign of a great loss of qi and blood!" Although Lu Sheng didn't know medical skills, he still knew a little bit of basic common sense.   Knowing that he probably had too much qi and blood deficit.   He sat on the edge of the table, barely braced himself, and put away the pamphlet. Then he lay down on the bed to rest.   "Qiao'er!"   "Your Excellency? What are your orders?"   Xiao Qiao asked softly outside the door.   "You go to ...... and boil me a little red date and millet congee, put in some ginseng. It needs to be vintage for a longer time."   Lu Sheng spoke with difficulty.   The young master of a rich family had this benefit.   For ordinary people, not to mention ginseng with years, even ordinary ginseng was only used as medicine to save their lives, where could it be eaten as a tonic like Lu Sheng.   Xiao Qiao answered and quickly ran to the kitchen to order congee.   Lu Sheng was lying on his back on the bed, and after taking a long time to breathe, he still felt that his eyes were dark and his limbs were weak.   However, apart from these feelings, he stretched out his hand in amazement, a sense of familiarity, sophistication, as if he had been practicing the saber technique for many years, surged into his mind from his palm.   Those three moves and three layers of mind of the Black Tiger Blade Technique had actually become familiar in his heart at some unknown time.   These three moves, not only did he understand all the several layers of hidden darkness in the moves, but even how the mental techniques worked with the moves, the several techniques that worked with them, the realm, and the usage, were all clear.   "It's really done!?" Lu Sheng closed his eyes, his heart in ecstasy.   This experiment had succeeded.   Although what was consumed seemed to be his body's qi, blood, and spirit, but in exchange for the great success of the Black Tiger Blade Technique, it was already enough.   "It's just that the Black Tiger Blade clearly only has a third layer, and this fourth layer, where did it come from?"   This was something that Lu Sheng did not understand.   Moreover, the fourth layer of the Black Tiger Blade, in his memory now, gave him a very familiar feeling.   It was as if ...... as if it was simply created by his own hands.   The concepts and ideas implied in it were not at all something that people in this world could think of, but more like a combination of some basic ideas of modern scientific mechanics.   Although he was only a civil servant, but at least he had studied engineering mechanics, human body mechanics and other university courses.   Without waiting for him to think more, Xiao Qiao had already brought the porridge.   "It just so happens that I have boiled the blood replenishing porridge for the third miss, it is also red date based, the third miss doesn't want it, so I will serve it to Gongzi first, this is the Lily and Red Date Soup, Ning Xin replenishes the blood, and I have added ginseng in it as well. Do you want it?"   Xiao Qiao asked in a small voice standing outside the door.   "You bring it in."   Lu Sheng whispered.   Xiao Qiao then gently pushed open the door of the room and went inside, but just as she came in, she saw a bit of blood stained on Lu Sheng's collar.   "Gong ...... Gong ...... Gong ...... Gong what happened to you!!!?" Xiao Qiao was shocked, and the porridge in her hand almost fell to the ground.   Lu Sheng smiled bitterly.   "I'm fine."   "Still saying it's fine! All spit out blood!"   Xiao Qiao was so scared that her face turned white.   "It's really fine ......," Lu Sheng helplessly said.   Xiao Qiao hurriedly went over and served the porridge in her hand to Lu Sheng.   "Come gongzi, drink some hot porridge first."   Under her service, Lu Sheng ate the bowl of porridge all in one bite.   His heart was also slightly more comfortable.   He began to carefully recall these seven or eight bits of information and experience about the Black Tiger Blade Technique that had suddenly appeared in his mind.   Strangely enough, it was as if these things had existed in his mind from the very beginning, and no matter what the difficulties were, he was able to understand them easily and felt that it was simple for his body to do so.   If it wasn't for his body not allowing it right now, he was planning to go to the schoolyard to properly find a sword and practice practice practice practice.   Xiao Qiao left quickly after he finished his porridge and went to the pharmacy to find the sitting physician of the Lu Mansion. She was still worried about Lu Sheng's health.   The Lu Mansion had its own specialized physician, a thin old man with a goatee beard.   He arrived in a hurry carrying a large medicine chest.   As soon as he sat by Lu Sheng's bedside and took his pulse, his brows stretched.   "Nothing serious, just a loss of qi and blood, and high mental consumption, rest and recuperate for a few days and you'll be fine."   He pulled out a piece of paper and swished it, writing down a tonic formula on it.   "Take this to the pharmacy, twice a day, give it to the Grand Duke on a daily basis for ten days, and he will be cured."   "Thank you physician."   Lu Sheng's heart was also relieved, this was exactly the same as what he had judged himself.   Soon Lu Fang Lu Quan An also came.   "What's going on?" He brought Lu Sheng's second and third mothers with him.   Lu Sheng's mother died of an illness a long time ago.   From a young age, it was Erniang who took care of him.   The second niang, Liu Cuiyu, had a soft nature and treated people extremely well, treating him not the slightest bit differently from her own children.   "It's just that I lost a bit of qi and blood from practicing martial arts. It's fine." Lu Sheng explained to his family one by one.   He was the eldest son of the family, the pillar who would inherit the family business in the future, and when something happened, naturally the first thing that would happen would trigger attention.
