The night sky is filled with stars, deep yet lonely. Under the pale moonlight, everything seemed so melancholy and desolate.
In a house in Muyang City, the colorful garden during the day seemed to be much darker at this time.
A woman stood alone by the tea pavilion, pulling the coat on her shoulders with both hands, looking up at the night sky, her dim eyes filled with endless bitterness and sorrow, thoughtfully.
She was the unconscious woman that Yan Ziwu brought back before, and she had just been awakened by another nightmare. Seeing the full moon hanging high in the night sky, I couldn't help but feel sad, so I got up and walked around.
No matter how beautiful the moonlight is, people who have something else in mind will not be able to appreciate it. Although she has been here for half a month now, every time she is alone or when night falls, she can't help but think of what happened that night.
What others don't know is that in the woman's heart, there is a secret that only she knows: she is not from this world, or in other words, she comes from a blue planet. As for why she came to this world, which planet this world is on, and how far it is from her hometown, she has no idea. She couldn't explain this bizarre encounter, and she didn't want to have it!
After living for a few days, she realized it belatedly: she was convinced that she had traveled to a new world!
This continent is called Xuanwu Continent. The continent has not entered the technological era like the earth. Instead, it looks like the ancient times in TV series. Although there are no various types of magic that are common in novels, the martial arts shown in the TV series are the only main theme of the mainland!
At least that was the understanding she had in Luoxia Villa before, and after she woke up these days, she also confirmed from the words of the doctor and his family who saved her here that this world indeed respected martial arts.
In this continent, not everyone knows martial arts, but those who know martial arts are called martial arts practitioners.
At present, she already knows that martial arts, in addition to strengthening the body and extending life, many things in the daily lives of humans here are closely related to martial arts. In this way, the importance of martial arts in the mainland has become irreplaceable.
The practice of martial arts has developed to its peak due to the efforts of countless generations of martial arts cultivators, and due to the continuous reproduction, evolution, and sublimation of martial arts, today it has even touched the legendary realm of immortal cultivation.
Because of the rapid development of martial arts, there are many martial arts practitioners in the past generations who have amazing talents and are constantly exploring new methods of martial arts practice. As the saying goes, hands have different lengths, and the methods of martial arts training naturally have different strengths and weaknesses.
Among martial practitioners, distinguishing between strong and weak is, in the final analysis, mainly about distinguishing the strength of this martial arts cultivation method.
After summarizing statistics, the cultivation methods, in addition to the regular and unremitting practice day after day, which is the most basic method, there are also cultivation methods that get twice the result with half the effort, which are called Gong methods.
Generally speaking, Qigong methods are divided into cultivating internal power and cultivating external power.
The method of cultivating internal strength is a method that can speed up the speed of cultivation and recovery. Only a martial artist who has a technique that can increase the speed of training and recovery can be considered a true martial artist. Because only by possessing such a skill, one can cultivate the skill in a short period of time, which is called internal strength, also called internal strength or true energy.
Therefore, one of the most important conditions for martial cultivators to distinguish between strong and weak is their own strength. The standard that can reflect one's own strength is the depth and shallowness of internal strength, that is, the level of skill. According to the level of skill, the realm of martial arts cultivators is currently divided into nine major realms, and each major realm is divided into nine smaller realms.
In addition to the level of skill, there is another condition for martial practitioners to distinguish between strong and weak, which is the cultivation of external force. The external force that martial cultivators practice is usually called martial arts by martial cultivators. As the name suggests, this is a special skill that can only be used by those who practice martial arts, that is, a method other than internal strength.
Most martial arts skills exist independently from internal power cultivation techniques. In other words, a martial artist can only develop internal strength by practicing martial arts. However, some martial arts cultivators only have internal strength and no martial arts skills, or only ordinary martial arts skills.
Martial arts are also divided into levels on the mainland. Generally speaking, they are also divided into civilian level, official level, king level, monarch level, emperor level and respected level.
There are countless martial arts in the Xuanwu Continent, but most of the popular martial arts that have been circulated are only around the civilian level. If you want to obtain more advanced martial arts, you must join a sect, or a martial arts academy on the mainland, or jump off a cliff. If you don't die, you may encounter strange encounters.
The most common martial arts are generally offensive martial arts or defensive martial arts. Such martial arts are attack and defense means. There are also physical and martial arts that improve speed and agility, but they are relatively few. There are also some strange martial arts, such as burning vitality or other side tricks to forcibly improve skills or martial arts attributes. Most people will not practice such martial arts, but that does not mean that no one can.
There is another kind of martial arts that basically only exists in legends, the flying martial arts. Because this kind of martial arts may not appear once in thousands of years, everyone thinks it is just a legend.
Internal strength and martial arts are symbols of the strength of a martial artist. Although luck is also a part of strength, if your overall strength is only at the first level, then no matter how lucky you are, the skill you get is a high-level peerless skill, let alone the inability to practice it. Even if you can practice it, it will be difficult to defeat A person whose realm is one level higher than yours, even if he is just practicing basic civilian skills.
This metaphor does not mean that the quality of the skills cannot bring much help to those who practice martial arts, but that powerful skills require sufficient support. Without enough skill, even a basket of extremely high-level and peerless skills is useless and will only be buried.
As for martial arts practitioners of the same level, that is, if their skills are comparable, if your martial arts level is much higher than that of your opponent, then in a competition, your advantages will be immediately apparent.
The quality level of the internal strength method can determine the speed of practice, thereby determining the speed of growth of skill and the speed of recovery after consumption of skill. Similarly, the level of martial arts quality determines the magnitude of the effect of external force.
Therefore, the ability and achievements of a martial artist depend not only on the individual's innate talent, but also on the level of the person who practices the martial arts. Of course, it is inseparable from acquired efforts.
Although most of the exercises are single-attribute, practicing single-attribute exercises has only one effect, that is, it can only improve a certain type of attribute. However, everyone's natural attributes are different, and there are exceptions to everything. Some people can practice multiple techniques at the same time.
But it is not easy to find a method that suits you, and it is even more difficult to find one that is suitable for you and of high quality. Generally speaking, if you can possess higher-level exercises and martial arts, the benefits in the future are self-evident...
However, it is difficult for ordinary people to obtain advanced cultivation techniques. The techniques spread among the ordinary classes are at best civilian-level techniques.
In addition, because people are born with different attributes, the exercises they practice will also have attribute requirements. There are six attributes: wind, thunder, wood, water, fire, and earth.
Each of the six attributes has its own strengths and will interact with each other to varying degrees.
The skills of Renhe attributes have quality levels, which are divided into six levels from low to high: civilian level, official level, king level, monarch level, emperor level and respected level.
Because the body will have true energy circulating around the body when practicing attribute exercises, so under normal circumstances, the six attribute exercises of wind, thunder, wood, water, fire, and earth will have corresponding attribute appearances when practiced or used.
In addition to the appearance of attributes, the colors will also be different depending on the level of the skill. From low to high, they are divided into white, black, cyan, green (blue), gold, and red, which happen to be the same as the color levels of clothes in this world.
When mobilizing Qi for use, the corresponding level colors of different levels of skills will surround the appearance of its own attributes, which is very dazzling.
Therefore, people in the world basically judge the quality level of exercises by looking at the color.
The exercises at each level are divided into elementary, intermediate and advanced levels, and the colors are also different from lighter, normal and darker.
Above the civilian rank, there is the official rank. However, this kind of advanced technique should only be possessed by the major sects in the entire Northern Wasteland except for the city lord's mansion of Muyang City and the city lords' mansions of several other cities.
Although the official level skills are only one level higher than the civilian level, their rarity is more than ten times higher. Only relatively powerful families or sects would have the training methods for this level, but there wouldn't be many of them.
For example, in Muyang City where Yan Ziwu is located, the top level skills are the internal strength training method "True Fire Jue" that only the city lord's mansion is qualified to practice, and the martial arts skill "Fire Burning Sun", both of which are fire. There are attribute skills, but they are only junior level skills.
Practicing the "True Fire Technique" can naturally increase the speed of practice and increase the skill, but the effect is not as fast as that of ordinary rank exercises. However, if you practice it to the mid-to-late stage, it will have the effect of increasing the damage of fire attribute martial arts. In fact, such performance can be regarded as top-notch among official-level skills. Even some single-attribute official-level skills are not of such value. It's just that it's difficult for someone to practice to a level that has the effect of increasing damage, so they can only be regarded as junior ranks.
As for the King's Order, I'm afraid it only exists in the center of Beihuang City - the City Lord's Mansion in Beihuang City. And that Jun level has not appeared in the entire Northern Wasteland for hundreds of years.
Theoretically speaking, it is basically as difficult as climbing to the sky for ordinary martial arts practitioners to obtain advanced skills. However, nothing is absolute. The Xuanwu Continent has a vast territory, rich resources, and countless strange mountains and rivers.
In addition to Beihuang City, there are five cities in Beihuang. Each city has a population of hundreds of thousands or even nearly a million, but it is only a barbaric land in the north of the mainland. The reason why it is called Northern Wilderness is because a hundred miles to the north of this barbaric land, there is a tribe of Northern Barbarians who are extremely powerful and can control animals. The main reason why the Northern Wilderness is deserted is that the Northern Barbarians are murderous, and they eat human flesh like hair and drink blood. Even eating human flesh raw is a commonplace meal.
Therefore, everyone living here is in danger, and everyone who can escape or hide will stay away from this place. Gradually, the hundreds of miles between the junction with the barbarians also became a barbaric land, hence the name Northern Wasteland.
And in the south of the continent, among the endless mountains, it is said that there are not only various high-level Warcraft families with extremely high IQs, but also the dark race that is famous for its weirdness and cruelty, etc., but it does not belong to this country... …
Due to the vastness of the territory, there are also many nameless hermits who are unknown to the public. After their lives come to an end, they may hide the skills they have learned in their lives somewhere, waiting for someone who is destined to take them.
Just like in the TV series, there is also a popular saying: If one day, you fall off a cliff or into a cave, don't panic, just take two steps forward, maybe you will become a martial arts master!
This statement is actually not false. I heard that in the thousands of years of history of this continent, there are stories of people who relied on chance encounters to counterattack and become strong.
But these have nothing to do with her being a lonely woman this month. What she has been thinking about are the most important people in her life. As long as she thinks that their whereabouts are unknown and their life or death is uncertain, she will have the idea of death.
But the person who rescued her told him that as long as she lived well and recovered her health, he would tell her some clues about the fire at Luoxia Villa. And for the sake of the person she cared about, she chose to eat and sleep well in this high-walled compound, just so that one day she could find some useful clues!
"Alas..." The woman sighed slightly.
"Why is Miss An sighing?"
A sudden voice behind her interrupted the woman's thoughts, but when she realized it was Yan Ziwu, the somewhat panicked woman quickly wiped the tears from her eyes and stood up to salute.
In fact, she didn't want to be so polite. After living on Blue Star for more than 20 years, except for seeing those women on TV needing to salute like this, she had never seen them in real life. At most, they shook hands or hugged. But I didn't expect that this world would be the same as what was shown in the TV series. Men would clasp their fists when they met, and women would bow and salute.
"Is there something on your mind, Miss An?" Yan Ziwu was wearing a gray robe. Under the weak moonlight, it could be seen that he was very humble, with sincere concern on his face. He looked kind-hearted, more like a woman. A close relative is like an elder.
"If Xi is fine, Mr. Yan is worried!" Although the woman only had nine years of compulsory education in her original world, she did well in school. In addition, she often watched TV dramas later on, and she knew a little bit about the ancient rules and habits of words and deeds. At this time, she was able to pick them up easily, so she originally wanted to call him "Doctor Yan", but now she followed the local custom and called him Mr. Yan.
