Chapter One Sword Training Genius
"Chen Gou, Chen Zuo Yi, Chen Yan, Chen Che, Chen Shuiqing, Chen Shaoze, and Chen Zong."
"Present." The seven people spoke in unison.
"My name is Chen Deyun." A white tight-fitting martial arts uniform, perfectly setting off her graceful and athletic body, her black hair tied into a bundle behind her head, valiant, her face fair and rosy, blowing and flickering, her voice cold, her pair of clear and bright eyes like autumn water, "From today onwards, I will be your Sword Technique Instructor."
Chen Zong looked at this beautiful woman in front of him, estimating that the other party was around 17 or 18 years old, but with a hidden and powerful breath, he did not know how much beyond them.
This place was the clan hall of the Chen Clan.
Including the branch clans and the clan, there were a total of sixty martial arts disciples, divided into five groups according to the category of Foundation Establishment Martial Arts they practiced, Swords, Swords, Fists, Palms, and Legs.
Chen Zonghu Li's Fist Technique Perfection Realm should have been assigned to the Fist Technique group, but he strongly requested that he enter the Sword Technique group.
Together with him, there were a total of seven people in the Sword Technique group, five males and two females, two were from the branch clans, and the rest were all clan descendants.
"Now, I will first teach you the Tiger's Whistle Technique." Chen Chuyun didn't even make polite remarks and directly entered the main topic.
"The Tiger Whistling Skill is our Chen Clan's unique secret for quenching blood qi, and it must never be passed on."
"The Tiger's Whistling Technique is divided into movement and static ......" Chen Zuiyun used concise and straightforward language plus movements to impart the Tiger's Whistling Technique to the crowd, repeating the explanation three times.
"Chen Zong, your cultivation has not reached the peak of the third level of the Qi Blood Realm, you may not cultivate the Tiger Whistling Technique." Chen Chuyun's gaze fell on Chen Zong.
"Yes." Chen Zong nodded his head.
Chen Zuo Yi's eyes flashed with a touch of arrogance, a few months ago, he had already come into contact with the Tiger's Whistling Technique and started to cultivate it.
Cultivation at the Martial Apprentice level was divided into two parts, first practicing the Foundation Building Martial Arts to the peak of the third level of the Qi and Blood Realm, and then, only then quenching the blood qi in preparation for the breakthrough to the fourth level of the Qi and Blood Realm.
If one's cultivation was less than the peak of the third level of the Qi and Blood Realm to cultivate the Tiger's Whistle Technique, it would only damage the blood qi.
"I'll continue explaining the Tiger Whistling Technique, if there's anything you don't understand, ask me again afterward."
Obviously the content of this lesson was the Tiger Whistling Technique.
Two hours later, the lesson ended, Chen Chuyun answered a few questions and left, the next lesson was in ten days.
The five clan children ignored Chen Zong and Chen Yan and left, Chen Yan and Chen Zong nodded and turned to leave as well.
The clan hall was divided into two parts, inner and outer, separated by a door.
The outer hall was not big, with a living area, a dining hall, a martial arts room, a weapons room, etc. They, the newly promoted sons, had to raise their cultivation to the fourth level of the Qi and Blood Realm to become a martial artist within a year's time, or else they would be expelled.
"I must first raise my cultivation to the peak of the third level of the Qi and Blood realm, and then cultivate the Tiger's Whistle Technique to quench my blood qi afterward."
His greatest wish was to find the precious medicine for his father and treat his injuries to restore his cultivation, but that would require sufficient strength, therefore, Chen Zong's short term goal for himself was to be able to raise his cultivation and enter the clan's Clan Hall, and now that he had achieved it, he should customize a second short term goal for himself.
"The two energy pills brought from the branch clan as well as the three energy pills distributed by the clan hall can raise my cultivation somewhat, but not enough to reach the peak of the third level of the Qi Blood Realm."
"Perhaps, I can cultivate more Foundation Establishment Martial Arts."
Every breakthrough in the Foundation Establishment Martial Arts' realm would stimulate one's potential to a certain extent and grow one's blood qi, which would in turn feed back to the body to achieve a synchronized enhancement.
It was just that the realm breakthrough of the Foundation Establishment Martial Arts was not easy.
For a normal person to cultivate the Foundation Establishment Martial Arts, three months for initiation, one year for minor accomplishment, three years for major accomplishment, and it would take two years for the more powerful ones to practice to major accomplishment, taking a step back, even if it took one year to practice to major accomplishment, it would be unrealistic to want to use it as the main method of cultivation enhancement.
Chen Zong was different, having been transformed by the Mysterious Sword Tip and also receiving the help of the Mysterious Sword Tip's power when practicing the Foundation Establishment Martial Arts, he could practise to reach the Great Success in a much shorter period of time, this was an advantage that had to be utilized.
The outer hall martial arts room was several times larger than the small lake town branch clan martial arts room, a table was placed on one side of the doorway, and behind it sat a middle-aged man, the martial arts room manager.
There were bookshelves on each of the three sides, each of which held more than a hundred books, clearly categorized, and the bookshelves on the left were all about Foundation Establishment martial arts and related cultivation tips.
In the center, six wooden tables and some wooden chairs were neatly placed for the ordinary children of the outer hall to read, as the books within the martial arts room could not be taken away.
Chen Zong swept through them with a glance, the three Foundation Establishment Martial Arts of the Little Lake Town Branch Clan were clearly among them, in addition, they were all Foundation Establishment Martial Arts that he had never heard of before.
The Swimming Snake Hand.
The Python Leg Technique.
The Heavy Fist.
The Shattering Tablet Palm Technique.
The Chained Blade Technique.
Heavy Strike Blade Technique.
The Remnant Shadow Sword Technique.
The Willow Whisking Sword Technique.
Eagle Strike Sword Technique.
And so on.
At a glance, there were at least three cultivation tips for each Foundation Establishment martial art, and more than ten.
"There are a total of thirty-two Foundation Establishment Martial Arts, so much." This was quite a shock to Chen Zong, and also discovered that amongst the thirty-two Foundation Establishment Martial Arts, there were only five Weaponry Foundation Establishment Martial Arts, three Sword Techniques and two Blade Techniques, seeing as how Weaponry Foundation Establishment Martial Arts were scarce and precious, and also notoriously difficult to cultivate.
Drawing out the three sword techniques as well as the related cultivation tips, he walked to a wooden table and sat down, flipping through it.
The Remnant Shadow Sword Technique was a very skillful sword technique, weak in attack and defense, but able to conjure up remnants of shadows that interfered with the line of sight, there were a total of six styles, and practicing them to a great extent could exercise 60% of the body parts.
The tip of the sword within the center of the brow trembled lightly, the silver pale dragon danced, Chen Zong's mind was incomparably clear, not only did he completely memorize the content of the "Remnant Shadow Sword Technique", but he also quickly comprehended it and mastered it.
After reading the Remnant Shadow Sword Technique, he picked up the "Analysis of the Remnant Shadow Sword Technique", "I practiced the Remnant Shadow Sword Technique", "Remnant Shadow Sword Technique Conjecture", and other cultivation tips to flip through them one by one, to draw on the wisdom of his predecessors, and to pool his thoughts to deepen his comprehension of the Remnant Shadow Sword Technique.
Whisking Willow Sword Technique is a sword like a willow branch, focusing on flexibility, such as swinging willow in the wind, both offensive and defensive, there are six styles, practicing to the great completion can exercise 60% of the body parts.
After reading everything about Whisking Willow Sword Technique, he went on to read Eagle Strike Sword Technique.
Eagle Strike Sword Technique is very different from Whisking Willow Sword Technique, mainly using the tip of the sword as the point of attack, simulating the eagle's sharp beak and claws and wings, focusing on the sword's sharpness, it is an attacking sword technique, practicing it to the fullest extent, it can also exercise 60% of the body parts.
After reading the Eagle Strike Sword Technique, Chen Zong flipped through several more related cultivation tips, memorizing them all before placing them all back on the bookshelf.
"Junior, is it useful for you to read books like this?" The administrator asked casually.
"Useful." Chen Zong responded and walked out of the martial arts room, but the administrator shook his head at the words, treating it as a joke.
Finding a place with few people in the martial arts practicing ground, he drew his sword, thought for a while and then set out the Remnant Shadow Sword Technique Starting Stance, and stabbed out with his sword.
Soon, practicing once.
"It's very raw, but it's only the first time."
The second time clearly improved.
The third time was even more skillful.
Each time Chen Zong could feel the progress, and on the tenth time, Chen Zong felt his qi and blood slightly vibrate, growing another imperceptible sliver.
After consolidating a bit, Chen Zong set up the Whisking Willow Sword Technique Starting Stance, standing like a weeping willow by the water's edge.
Ten times, the Whisking Willow Sword Technique was initiated, and the blood qi grew by a tiny bit more.
Next, Chen Zong practiced the Eagle Strike Sword Technique.
The whole person was like an eagle that was about to spread its wings and soar, the sword was like the eagle's wings, wanting to spread its wings and soar.
Another ten times, the Eagle Strike Sword Technique was initiated, and the blood qi once again grew by a hair.
Three consecutive times of blood qi growth would nourish the body in the time that followed, causing Chen Zong's strength to increase.
"This person is too stupid."
"Cultivating three Foundation Establishment Sword Techniques, this is to cut off his own path."
"I know him, his name is Chen Zong, he was previously practicing boxing, and was said to have reached the realm of perfection, and was looked upon favorably by Instructor Chen He, but he refused to enter the Boxing group, and entered the Swordsmanship group."
"So it's him, that's practicing the four foundation building martial arts."
"How stupid."
A few people not far away were discussing in low voices, they didn't practice swordsmanship and their eyesight was limited, they couldn't see that Chen Zong had already practiced all three swordsmanships to the introductory level, a few people's conversations Chen Zong heard clearly, of course, he understood what those people were thinking.
Under normal circumstances, the more Foundation Establishment Martial Arts one practiced, the more obvious the drawbacks would be, because practicing each Foundation Establishment Martial Arts would require a lot of time and energy, and each person had limited time and energy, the more doors one practiced the more spread out one would become, resulting in the end dragging each other down and making it difficult to advance an inch.
Generally at most two doors are practiced, one before entering the clan hall, and one after entering the clan hall for additional practice.
Anyone who had entered the clan hall knew that there were two levels of cultivation for martial disciples, one before the peak of the third layer of the qi and blood realm, where the focus was on foundation building martial arts, and one after the peak of the third layer of the qi and blood realm, where the focus was on blood qi quenching.
Cultivation enhancement was fundamental, once one's cultivation reached the fourth level of the Qi and Blood Realm to become a martial artist, one could cultivate Pin Grade Martial Arts, and that power was many times more powerful than Foundation Building Martial Arts.
They felt that Chen Zong was putting the cart before the horse.
This matter reached Chen He's ears, and he kindly smiled, "Thinking that if you cultivate the Tiger Power Fist Technique to the state of perfection, you can also practice the Sword Technique to perfection?"
"Chen Zong, you are wasting your time." Chen Yuyao was furious and approached Chen Zong, "You cultivated the Tiger Power Fist Technique to the Perfection Realm, proving that you have an exceptional talent in Fist Technique, why do you need to practice Sword Technique, and it's fine to practice Sword Technique, why do you need to practice three Sword Techniques at the same time."
"I have a sense of proportion." Chen Zong knew that Chen Yuyao was concerned about him, but he couldn't say that he had a heavenly miracle and practicing sword was more advantageous.
"Can you ...... stand up to Uncle Zhengtang who has great expectations of you?" Chen Yuyao was annoyed, she herself wasn't sure why she was so anxious and so annoyed.
"I have a sense of proportion." Chen Zong said again, his tone flat as Chen Yuyao stepped on her buckskin shoes and huffed away.
Shaking his head and withdrawing his gaze, Chen Zong continued practicing his sword.
All three sword techniques had reached the introductory level, Jean's blood qi had grown a tiny bit, his cultivation had been improved, proving that his idea was feasible, he would have to continue with it.
The next night, Chen Zong continued to practice his sword, a figure stepped in a brisk pace from afar, his footsteps were very light, standing dozens of meters away and watching, not disturbing Chen Zong.
After practicing each of the three sword techniques ten times, Chen Zong glanced at the figure and bowed, "Instructor."
"Well, I heard that you were practicing three Foundation Establishment Sword Techniques at the same time, so I came to take a look." Chen Deyun's voice was as cool as the night wind, "The three sword techniques, all of them were learned yesterday morning?"
"Yes." Chen Zong nodded, this was not a secret.
"In just two days, three sword techniques initiated." Chen Duiyun's eyes blossomed with incandescence, as if melting the night, "So, you are a genius at practicing swords."
"Instructor overpraised." Chen Zong said modestly.
"There is no need to be modest, can you practice all three sword techniques to a small degree of success within ten days." Chen Duiyun's gaze was divine.
"Can." Chen Zong's tone was firm.
