Chapter 14: Superior, Secret Fighting Method Superior martial arts! Li Yuan half-closed his eyes, unable to hide the excitement in his heart. He had only learned martial arts for a little over a month, and had no idea about what was superior and inferior. He didn't even know what level of martial arts the White Ape Cloak Hammer belonged to. But he had heard the name Shenbing Valley from Fatty Sun, which was the main sect of Zhelong Mansion. "Although Gaoliu County is considered a large county, the news from the outer city is still a bit isolated. No, maybe it's because my status is too low..." Li Yuan narrowed his eyes. The light in the space where the Weapon Control Scroll was located was very dim, but he could clearly see the words on the tattered sole of Liuhe's boots on the gray stone platform. It's just that the handwriting is too small and it's very difficult to read. "Fortunately, I can read. If it were any other apprentice, even if they got this secret book, they probably wouldn't be able to understand it..."
Li Yuan muttered to himself. He didn't know how many people in Gaoliu County could read, but more than half of the apprentices in the weapon forging shop were illiterate. This made him feel fortunate. If it weren't for his second brother Li Lin, he probably wouldn't be able to read either. And learning a language that is completely different from your previous life from scratch is no easier than learning martial arts. "The Way of Soldiers, Fighting and Killing Hammer is the first of the five secret martial arts of the Divine Weapon Valley. It is divided into three parts: Way of Soldiers, Fighting, and Killing. It cannot be taught unless you have a superior physique..." "This secret teaching is centered on the Way of the Warrior, and is filled with fighting and killing. It is a superior martial art for fighting on the battlefield. The killing is brutal, and those who are not physically strong and mentally weak should not learn it..." "A secret technique is one that is not to be passed on to outsiders. There are eight thousand disciples in the Divine Weapon Valley. If anyone learns it, they must be killed. If their clan learns it, their clan will be exterminated!" …… Li Yuan recited word by word silently. "This part is 'fighting'!" There is no military strategy, no killing method, only one third... Li Yuan felt a little sorry but not too surprised. After all, it was just a shoe and at most it was only half the length. Although it was less than expected, he could accept it. After all, he had personal experience of the hardships of learning martial arts these days. One has to sell himself for twelve years to learn the blacksmithing skills, and the White Ape Cloak Hammer has to be taught in several parts, and the method of making it is not passed on. He was also satisfied to be able to obtain one third of the superior martial arts secrets. Needless to say, this is the 'playing style' that he lacks the most now. only…… "The first of the five secrets of the Divine Weapon Valley..." Li Yuan hesitated for a moment, then immersed himself in this secret book again. The tiny handwriting seemed difficult to read, but the content was too attractive to him. The fighting style of this superior martial art was much more sophisticated than the White Ape Cloak Hammer.
There are as many as seventy-two fighting methods alone. You have to master at least one hammer method to be considered mediocre, but there are as many as eighty-one variations of the hammer method. but…… Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes, feeling somewhat melancholy: "Another hammer technique..." …… …… Li Yuan had no choice. After enduring the whole day, on the night he discovered the Bingdao Dousha Hammer, he sneaked out of the house, found a secluded place where no one was around, and tried to practice the fighting style of this superior martial art. "If there is no one to teach me the breathing method and the standing practice, I really don't dare to practice them. But the killing method is no problem. Even if I practice it wrong, I will only strain my muscles or break my bones at most." Under the cover of night, with a strong interest in superior martial arts, Li Yuan didn't even feel cold. He decided to give it a try anyway. Firstly, the fighting method of the White Ape Cloak Hammer can only be learned by entering the inner courtyard, and secondly, this is a superior martial art! The three... "They are all hammer techniques. The experience gained from mastering the hammer technique is still useful!" Standing on the White Ape Post, holding the training hammer, Li Yuan adjusted his breathing and began to learn the first method of the Bingdao Fighting Hammer. With the help of the Weapon-control Scroll, he was like a veteran who had practiced hammer techniques for decades. Although it was still difficult to get started, after several attempts, he gradually found the way. In just over an hour, he had mastered the first route and the first change. boom! The sledgehammer fell. "It's very strenuous. Too strenuous." Li Yuan rubbed his wrist, panting: "No wonder they say that those with weak physiques can't learn..." Over a month later, especially after he got started with the White Ape Cloak Hammer, his physique had improved tremendously. Compared to those calves in the front yard, he was only different in size, but his physical strength was superior. With blood and energy in his body, he would not feel tired even if he stood on the White Ape Post for a whole day. But at this point, after only practicing for an hour, he was already too tired to lift the hammer, and most of the blood and energy in his body had been consumed. "call!" After forcing himself to stand for a while, Li Yuan finally caught his breath and realized where the problem lay: "I need medicine to make up for it!" If your income is less than your expenses, your qi and blood will be depleted. Li Yuan decisively gave up the idea of learning the second change, and instead slipped into the kitchen, eating all the steamed bread left over from lunch and the uneaten salted eggs brought by his second brother. "It's very tiring, but the effect is also amazing! This is just the first transformation. What will it be like when all 81 transformations are mastered?" "For the same entry level, the entry threshold of this Bingdao Fighting Hammer is many times higher than that of the White Ape Cloak Hammer..." "I wonder if there is any explanation?"
In the dark kitchen, Li Yuan's eyes were very bright. Although he felt a little sore in his body, he could feel that his physical strength had improved. Moreover, after the blood and energy in the body were replenished, it seemed to become a little stronger. One hour is probably equivalent to the time he spent standing on the White Ape Posture for two days! "The difference between fighting and training lies in mobilizing the blood and energy in the body to strengthen it. No wonder fighting methods are not taught to people who don't enter the inner courtyard. Perhaps it's useless even if they are taught!" After resting for half an hour, Li Yuan finally recovered. He truly felt the difference between fighting and training methods, and also had some guesses about the realms of mastery, minor success, and even major success. "Consume blood and replenish blood, it's really simple and crude... Once you practice this method, your blood and energy will be exhausted in an instant, but if you don't replenish it, you'll probably die from practicing, so..." Returning to the deserted corner, holding the hammer and practicing the second routine, Li Yuan couldn't help but have many thoughts in his mind. He may not be very smart, but his habit of traveling around in his previous life has taught him to analyze and summarize more, so as to analyze the difficulties he faces. The biggest problem he faces now. It's not the murderous maniac who is hiding somewhere, but the medicinal herbs that nourish the body, such as ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, Rehmannia root, etc... But in the final analysis, it’s money and silver! "For now, I can only learn the third transformation. My physical strength and blood energy are insufficient..." That night, Li Yuan learned three transformations and lay exhausted on the big bunk bed. His mind was full of silver and the desire for advanced weapons. According to the instructions on the soles of his shoes, his progress is extremely poor. His physique was not strong enough, and he had no strong medicine to take. If it were not for the support of the mastery-level hammer technique, Li Yuan doubted that he could not even master these three changes. "Medicinal herbs, silver, and entry-level weapons! A hammer would be best..." Thinking of this, Li Yuan closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep. …… …… In the cold winter, even the escort agencies and traveling merchants would not leave the city easily, and ordinary people would not go out easily. However, the martial law in Gaoliu County only lasted for more than two months. Before the end of the year, whether the county magistrate Lu Yunqing was willing or not, he had to lift the martial law and switch to a secret search. "Such a small county actually has so many internal energy masters? Shenbing Valley is worthy of being the number one sect of Zhelong..." Not far from the blacksmith shop, in a dilapidated courtyard, the emaciated Nian Jiu shook off the thick snow on his body and tore off the clothes that could no longer cover his body, revealing a series of hideous wounds. There were lingering palm prints, pierced gun muzzles, and a narrow knife wound in the lower ribs that allowed one to see the internal organs. "Five Jade Poison Blades... The one who wields the blade is Yu Zhen." Nianjiu's face twitched. This knife almost took his life. "I have to go..."
Nian Jiu whispered, put on the coarse linen clothes torn from the skeleton in the corner, and walked out of the shadows. boom! boom! boom! In Gaoliu County, fireworks were shooting up into the sky. (End of this chapter)
