"Pa", the two wooden swords intersected. Lu Duofu's wrist went numb. He hesitated for a moment when he drew the sword. His opponent seized the opportunity and stabbed his chest with his sword. Although it was a wooden sword, the opponent did not use all his strength, so he was not injured, but the burning was very uncomfortable.
"Come again!" Lu Duofu said unconvinced, regardless of the pain.
The training disciple looked at Lu Duofu's bruised nose and face, and said calmly: "Forget it, Junior Brother Lu. This is the seventeenth time you have been hit by the sword today. If this was a real sword, you don't know how many times you would have died. .”
Lu Duofu was unwilling to give in: "No, I didn't use the move right just now. Let me try it again, Senior Brother Wang."
Senior Brother Wang was unmoved, shook his head and said: "Let's forget it. You said the same thing before, but the result is the same every time. If you ask me, your self-created swordsmanship is probably not good, it is full of loopholes. This is really important. On the battlefield, you don’t even know how to die.”
Lu Duofu smiled awkwardly, unable to argue, and could only helplessly beg Senior Brother Wang to hit him again. Senior Brother Wang looked at his pitiful appearance, but was unmoved.
"Senior Brother Wang, yesterday's jar of 'Ten Miles of Fragrance' was still to my taste. Do you want to have two more jars? Isn't it boring for just the two of us to drink it? How about we call Uncle Li?"
Senior Brother Wang is Uncle Li's disciple. Hearing Lu Duofu's words, Senior Brother Wang was frightened: "Bye bye, Junior Brother Lu, if you have something to say, why don't we just discuss it with you? Senior Brother, I promise you."
Yunyinmen prohibits its disciples from drinking, but there are always people who can't help but break the rules. It is said that eating people is soft-mouthed and taking advantage of others is short-tempered. Senior Brother Wang received a jar of wine from Lu Duofu yesterday to satisfy his appetite. Now that the handle is in Lu Duofu's hands, he has no choice but to let him drive him.
"That's right. Among our senior brothers, who will follow the other? Senior brother will practice with the younger brother first. The younger brother also has a few jars hidden there. I will bring them to the senior brother later."
Thinking of the taste of that fine wine, Senior Brother Wang couldn't help but swallow his saliva and said, "It's a deal, Junior Brother please."
"Okay, senior brother, be careful!"
When they fought again, Lu Duofu's Duofu sword style had several more variations. Senior Brother Wang secretly admired him. Although this junior brother was weak, he had a good habit. He would only leak out every flaw in his swordsmanship once. Once he was caught and defeated, he would show up in the second fight. Changes must be made. Lu Duofu will not only perfect his swordsmanship, but also catch the flaws of Senior Brother Wang. The two sides fought each other and each made improvements.
Although it takes a bit of effort to fight against such an opponent, Lu Duofu's self-created sword technique changes repeatedly, and sometimes a sudden and unexpected move can force Senior Brother Wang to panic. However, the gap in strength between the two was still obvious. After playing more than a dozen moves compared to the last time, Lu Duofu was still defeated.
This is just a microcosm of Lu Duofu's countless days and nights of hard training. He was a newcomer to martial arts, and the "Duofu Sword Style" he created naturally had a lot of flaws. When he was practicing, it felt like nothing, and it was very cool with all the bells and whistles, but when he started fighting, he suffered, and he was beaten into disgrace every time.
Despite this, Lu Duofu still had to shamelessly ask some familiar brothers to be his sparring partners. At first, after winning a battle, some of his fellow apprentices would laugh at him for not overestimating his own abilities and for inventing his own swordsmanship at such a young age. This was really laughable and made Lu Duofu very angry. After receiving too much ridicule, Lu Duofu became numb. No matter if they laugh or not, practice your sword skills first.
Later, maybe the beatings became more frequent and the junior brothers got used to it, but they actually felt a little sorry for this stubborn junior brother. Whenever Lu Duofu came to them for training, the brothers were willing to help him, and some of the brothers with higher cultivation levels even helped him point out the shortcomings in his sword moves.
In this way, relying on the shameless Iron Face Kung Fu, while Lu Duofu's cultivation improved, Duofu's sword style also became more and more perfect. With the help of Boundless Sea and Duofu Sword Style, Lu Duofu was able to fight against some of his weaker brothers. But compared with his fellow disciples at the same level of cultivation, his overall strength is still a bit weaker. There is no way, how can the martial arts and martial arts created by a newcomer in martial arts be as good as the unique skills created by the ancestors in the sect.
…………
The Bibo Pond under Bixiu Peak.
The waterfall fell from a cliff more than ten feet high, forming a pool about an acre in size, with varying depths, but the deepest point was less than one foot. The water in Bibotan is crystal clear, with no fish at all.
When Lu Duofu first came to Yunyinmen, Nangong Xiu didn't let Nangong Yue and Lu Duofu get close to this place. Children are naughty by nature, and if they accidentally drown here, it's no joke. But in recent years, Nangong Yue and Lu Duofu have grown up, so this restriction has been lifted.
Lu Duofu would come here from time to time to swim and take a shower, which was very useful. As for Nangong Xiu's family, it is impossible for Baiyunxi and her daughter to come to such a place to take a bath... Nangong Xiu basically has no time. Therefore, such a good place as Bibotan has almost become Lu Duofu's exclusive swimming pool.
Since Nangong Yue taught him how to swim last time, Lu Duofu's water quality has gotten better and better with Bibotan around. Usually, with one plunge, you can swim around the Bibo Pool several times and perform various fancy moves in the water. But today, he was not here to swim. The purpose of this trip is to practice swordsmanship.
After countless battles with fellow disciples, Lu Duofu came to the conclusion that his swordsmanship was seriously lacking in strength. When warriors fight, their spiritual power is released. If there is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, the strong one can severely injure his opponent with just his sword energy. Although the disciples who are currently fighting against Lu Duofu have not yet reached the point where they can hurt people with their sword energy, if they start seriously, the strong wind brought by their weapons can make the weaker Lu Duofu even use the sword. It's not possible to hold it firmly, let alone if the weapons of both sides collide.
In order to strengthen the ability to draw a sword in the face of resistance, Nangong Xiu thought of a way for Lu Duofu to practice in the Bibo Pond. For this reason, Nangong Xiu also found someone to help Lu Duofu build a heavy iron sword. When Lu Duofu can use the iron sword smoothly in the water, his goal will be achieved.
"Hey, drink..." The water just reached his chest. Lu Duofu struggled to swing the big iron sword and practiced each move. The iron sword felt heavy even when picked up out of thin air, and it was even more difficult to swing it in the water. It hit myself several times. Fortunately, Nangong Xiu had the foresight to specifically instruct the blacksmith not to strike when forging.
One sword...two swords...tens of swords later, the sword wielder's right arm had lost all strength and he could not even pick up the sword. Lu Duofu handed the sword to his left hand and continued practicing. The strength of his left arm was even worse, and he couldn't swing more than a dozen swords, so he switched to his right hand... Until both arms were so weak and weak, and he could no longer hold the sword, Lu Duofu stopped, went ashore, got dressed, and meditated. Cultivation of spiritual power.
There is no one to train with or supervise, it all depends on self-discipline and persistence. Lu Duofu practiced in the cool water pool for nearly a year. Practice from the shallow part of the pool to the bottom of the water, and then practice from the bottom of the water to directly under the waterfall. At first he could only wield a few dozen swords at a time, but later on he could swing thousands of swords at a time, and his moves were consistent and fast, and could even coordinate with his Moon Shadow Step. Lu Duofu's Duofu Sword Style has achieved some success. Of course, this is limited to opponents with similar cultivation levels as him. Facing masters, his moves are still full of flaws.
The results of this year's practice are also extremely gratifying. Lu Duo rose from the fifth level of the martial arts realm, broke through to the martial arts master realm, and now has reached the third level of the martial arts master realm. There is no difficulty in breaking through from the martial arts realm to the martial arts master realm. As long as a person with a normal mind is willing to work hard, he can do it. But it took one and a half years to advance from the first level of the martial arts realm to the third level of the martial arts realm. This speed may be average for other sect disciples, but in Yunyin Sect, this is considered very fast.
Some people may ask why during the Yunyin Sect celebration competition, all the talents from each sect on stage are in the martial arts realm. Those people have obviously been practicing for several years. And Lu Duofu reached the third level of the martial arts realm in one and a half years, which can only be regarded as average. Isn't this contradictory?
No contradiction, this is the situation. Before the age of ten, most people will not allow children to practice cultivation, because at that time, the child's spiritual veins have not fully grown, and practicing in a hurry at this time will cause irreversible damage to the spiritual veins. Therefore, the method of refining qi is generally not taught until after the age of ten, and some sects will even wait until after the age of twelve.
After the children begin to practice Qi, in order to consolidate the children's foundation, the teachers will deliberately extend the children's Qi practice period, which can be as long as three years or as little as two years. Especially for Yunyin Sect, due to the lack of spiritual medicine to assist, there is a physical training period after the Qi refining period. Take Nangong Yue for example. She started practicing qi at the age of eleven. After practicing for three years, she exercised for another year. She only started practicing spiritual power at the age of fifteen.
Therefore, by the time they are fourteen or fifteen years old, these young talents may have only been formally practicing spiritual power for a few months, and their cultivation level is in the martial cultivation realm. This is normal. But Lu Duofu was different. He did not have a Qi refining period or a physical training period, but started practicing directly when he was less than fourteen years old. As for breaking through to the third level of the martial arts realm in one and a half years, this is more than enough.
Some large sects are often willing to spend a lot of money to train young genius disciples, and all kinds of miraculous medicines and god-level exercises are thrown at them. The cultivation speed of these disciples is naturally astonishingly fast, and some can break through from the first level of martial arts realm within half a year. When he reaches the realm of martial arts masters, he can be called a non-human being among martial artists.
As for a small sect like Yunyin Sect, not to mention the shortage of elixirs, their techniques are mediocre, and even the qualifications of their disciples are hard to describe. In this way, it is not surprising that it takes most people two to three years to break through from the martial arts realm to the martial arts master realm. The reason why Lu Duofu is faster is that his Boundless Sea Kung Fu is indeed pretty good, and also because he works hard enough.
In front of the Blue Wave Pond, Lu Duofu looked at the clear water with some reluctance. He has been practicing here for a year, but today is the last day. According to Nangong Xiu, now that Lu Duofu has improved his cultivation and his strength is adequate, even practicing in this waterfall will not have much effect. Starting tomorrow, Lu Duofu should go to the top of Bixiu Peak to practice with Nangong Yue, focusing on improving his spiritual power for the time being.
As usual, Lu Duofu took off his clothes and walked towards the waterfall. If anyone else were around, their jaws would definitely drop. Because at this time Lu Duofu was not walking from the bottom of the pool, but walking steadily on the water...
For warriors, after reaching a certain level of cultivation, they can fly to the sky and escape from the earth to do anything, and each level can obtain some special abilities. Martial arts cultivators and martial arts masters are just salty fish and will not be discussed. The Martial Master Realm can produce spiritual awareness, the Martial Master Realm can hurt people through the air, the Martial King Realm can make the body lighter and more flexible, and the Martial King Realm can pick up objects from across the air. The realm of Martial Emperor and above... well, mortals will not discuss the matters of immortal cultivators for the time being.
And this kind of skill that can walk on the water like walking on flat ground and can also perform martial arts, that is, climbing across the water, can generally be mastered only after entering the late stage of the Martial King Realm. But at that time, it was because the warrior himself had a high level of cultivation and was as light as a swallow, so he could naturally move forward and retreat freely on the water, and he could do it without special training.
However, this skill is relatively useless and is only useful on the water, so few people in the Wuwang realm would deliberately learn it. If you have this time, you might as well practice hard and strive to reach the King of Martial Realm as soon as possible.
But Lu Duofu was different. He practiced in the water for a long time, and after a long time, he started to think about it. Due to Lu Duofu's special luck, he can interact with the spiritual energy of the outside world and greatly reduce the gravity of his body. Coupled with the buoyancy of water, this allows him to master this skill.
Lu Duofu named this skill "Horizontal Crossing", which was another of his most proud creations since Boundless Sea. The fly in the ointment is that performing horizontal transition consumes more spiritual power.
