Winter turns to spring and time passes quickly. The date for the competition set by Guo Jing and Yang Kang has arrived. The Seven Monsters of Jiangnan will take Guo Jing to the Central Plains to keep the appointment.
Wang Ming also proposed to go together, but Wang Ming didn't know the way and was too lazy to ask along the way, so he could save trouble by following them.
Originally, they didn't want to take Wang Ming with them because they thought it would be a drag, but they couldn't bear to refuse. After all, they had been together for so many years.
Wang Ming actually didn't want to go with them, mainly because Ke Zhen E had a bad mouth, was nosy, and easily caused trouble, but it was easier to endure Ke Zhen E and find a way to the Central Plains with him.
When they arrived in the Central Plains, Wang Ming separated from Guo Jing and his party, and found a blacksmith to make some weapons for him.
A Tang Dao, a long sword, and a 60-pound heavy sword were ordered and put together in a sword box.
Wang Ming found a waterfall with fast water and planned to practice Dugu Qiufei's epee technique.
"Epee"
Wang Ming has been analyzing moves in the desert for a long time, and this sword technique is not complicated.
There are actually two cores:
1. Strength. 90% of people were defeated in this level. Yang Guo's Dark Iron Heavy Sword weighed about 81 kilograms. How many people could use it with one hand? Yang Guo's strength was enhanced by the Bodhisattva taking the gallbladder from the snake.
2. Training method: first get used to the weight of the sword, then practice sword practice under a waterfall, then practice sword practice in mountain torrents, and finally practice sword practice in ocean waves. This is actually a process of becoming familiar with inertia and leveraging force.
Wang Ming has the confidence to learn it by himself, mainly with the "Indestructible Magic Kung Fu". Although he is still unable to transform into a golden man, the power bonus attached to this martial arts allows Wang Ming to do it without the snake gallbladder of the Bodhisattva Snake. Meet the requirements for practicing epee technique.
Wang Ming was in the mountains and started practicing basic swordsmanship with an epee. However, after practicing, he found that many moves were not suitable for this set of swordsmanship. The simpler the sword moves are, the more suitable they are. Moves using force from the wrist are completely useless.
The usage and force of ordinary swordsmanship are mainly the wrist and elbow, so it is flexible and changeable. The epee technique mainly relies on the inertia driven by the arm and the epee sword, so it is simple and rough in wide opening and closing.
After getting familiar with it, Wang Ming took out the "Songshan Sword Technique" and began to compare and review his epee technique. The Songshan Sect uses giant swords, which can also be said to be epee swords, but they are not as exaggeratedly heavy as the Xuantie epee swords. It's not as heavy as the one made by Wang Ming.
But there is still some reference significance, and some changes can be extracted.
A few days later, Wang Ming entered a waterfall and began to practice his sword skills. He clearly felt the weight of the water under the waterfall, making it impossible to use his sword skills.
The water flow falling from a height is the standard answer to the heavy sword technique. Any move that cannot be used smoothly is inappropriate. If the posture is not smooth for exerting force, it should be changed.
After a month, Wang Ming also initially mastered the epee technique, and his level was almost the same as when Yang Guo first brought the black iron epee out for revenge.
There are only 3 moves left in the "Songshan Sword Techniques": vertical slash, diagonal slash, and sweep.
Plus body rotation and somersaults.
At the beginning, Wang Ming didn't add these to his sword skills. The sword skills he used were quite sluggish and not as good as ordinary sword skills. You have to know how difficult it is to change the direction of a 60-pound sword with inertial force.
Wang Ming can do it, but it is a thankless task. For a time, Wang Ming's deduction was stalled, and he was planning to go to the Sword Tomb to find the divine eagle.
One day, I suddenly remembered that the swords used by people in the pre-Qin period were different from those used by martial arts people today. The swords in the pre-Qin period were bronze swords, which were very heavy.
I remember the swordsmanship used by the swordsmen in "Qin Shi Mingyue" were basically spinning and somersaulting in the air.
Tried it and it really works.
Ordinary swordsmanship adjusts the direction back and forth, but epee swordsmanship directly rotates in the direction of inertia.
This not only eliminates the need to counteract inertia to change direction, but also increases the power of sword moves.
The current heavy sword technique can sweep away a large area. Same level, slightly cheaper. To fight against your own strength, just kneel down. After all, this swordsmanship is not perfect yet. It will be almost ready when Wang Ming reaches the level of ocean waves.
The ultimate form should be the style of Wei Zhuang and Sheng Qi in Qin Shi Mingyue!

"Rong'er! This is the gentleman who taught me how to read and write, Mr. Wang."
Guo Jing introduced Wang Ming to Huang Rong. Wang Ming looked at the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl in front of him, with skin as good as snow, extremely beautiful, and stunning appearance.
Huang Rong is considered to be the most beautiful woman among the women Wang Ming has seen in these three worlds. If this is the first world that Wang Ming travels to, Wang Ming will definitely take advantage of Guo Jing.
Wang Ming is now forty years old except for his first life. He can't do anything to such a little fool! In addition, Guo Jing was kind to him and couldn't do such a thing.
Wang Ming originally went down the mountain to the town to buy some daily necessities, but he was met by Guo Jing. He was too enthusiastic and couldn't refuse, so he asked him to come here and say that he would treat him to dinner.
"Rong'er! I've met Mr. Huang." Huang Rong put down her work and came to greet Wang Ming.
Huang Rong was actually very polite and respected her teachers. Unfortunately, when she met Ke Zhen'e, she started talking about being a witch when she spoke, but when she kept silent, she said she was engaged to Yang Tiexin's family. It would be strange if Huang Rong didn't contradict her.
"Well! Are you a friend Jing'er met when she came to the Central Plains? No need to be polite, I'm not that particular, just feel free to do it."
"Well, sir, you and Brother Jing should go catch up with old times first! Ronger will go prepare the food first."
"Okay, go and do your work and don't worry about me."
Wang Ming was taken to a nearby room by Guo Jing. Wang Ming saw an old man sitting on the table wearing patched and tattered clothes. Although the clothes were shabby, they were very clean.
The old man took a look at Wang Ming, who was wearing a Confucian scholar's robe and a long sword at his waist. He lost interest and just ate the snacks Huang Rong prepared for him. Jianghu people and scholars have different moral principles and do not seek each other's will. They all despise each other.
Wang Ming greeted respectfully, "May I ask if this senior is Hong Qigong, the leader of the Beggar Clan, Senior Hong?"
Wang Ming is also in his forties, so there is no problem in calling him Brother Hong Qihong, but in this matter, Jianghu looks at his strength, not his age.
Hong Qi's status in the world, he is happy to give you face and you can call him Brother Hong. If he is in a bad mood and doesn't want to give you face, you can call him Brother Hong. It is you who cannot step down.
Hong Qi ate and replied casually: "Oh!!! I didn't expect you, a scholar, to know me, the old beggar, that's quite good!"
Wang Ming replied: "Wang has heard of the name Wu Jue."
Guo Jing, an honest boy, suddenly interrupted: "What are the five absolutes?"
The Jiangnan Seven Freaks were so face-saving that they never told him this.
The circle of people I came to contact with in the Central Plains was too low, and no one had ever mentioned Wujue. Huang Rong deliberately concealed her identity, so naturally she would not reveal it. Hong Qi didn't have the shamelessness to brag, so of course he didn't know.
"The Five Ultimate Skills are the five people with the highest martial arts skills in the world. Huang Yaoshi, the owner of Dongxie Peach Blossom Island, is a master of astronomy and geography. He has knowledge of Five Elements and Bagua, Qimen Dunjia, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even farmland water conservancy, economic strategy, etc. I don't know, but I am good at everything. It can be said that he is an all-rounder. His signature martial arts are Bihaichao Shengqu and magical powers with the snap of his fingers.
Xidu is Ouyang Feng, the owner of White Camel Villa in the Western Regions. He is good at using poisons and controlling snakes, and his signature martial arts are the Toad Kung Fu and the Spiritual Snake Staff Technique;
The Southern Emperor is Duan Zhixing, the emperor of the Dali Kingdom, whose signature martial arts is Yang Finger;
Bei Bei is the leader of the Beggar Clan, the senior in front of you. He is an expert at using the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms and the Dog Beating Stick;
Wang Chongyang, the leader of the Quanzhen sect with supernatural powers, has his signature martial arts, Xiantian Kung Fu. "Wang Ming saw Hong Qigong's demeanor and knew immediately that he would give Guo Jing some popular science.
"I never thought Qi Gong was so powerful." Guo Jing said.
Hong Qigong ate snacks as if nothing had happened. He seemed to have no emotional fluctuations, but he still felt a little proud in his heart.
It didn't take long for Huang Rong to bring the dish. Wang Ming tasted it and it was indeed good. It was indeed the most delicious food in the world. No wonder Hong Qigong couldn't bear to leave.
…………………………………………
After the meal, Hong Qigong took Guo Jing outside the courtyard and began to teach Guo Jing new martial arts. After finishing the teaching, he asked Guo Jing to pull the tree there.
Hong Qigong walked towards Wang Ming carrying a wine pot.
"You carry a sword with you. Do you know martial arts?" Hong Qigong came over and found a place to sit.
"know a little."
"What time is it? Scholars are unhappy. Ronger, go and compare with him."
"Sir, I'm offended." Although Huang Rong looked very reluctant to do anything, she was not polite at all.
Wang Ming faced Huang Rong's sudden slap without any panic. He neutralized Huang Rong's attack with a flick of his right hand.
Huang Rong turned around and found that Wang Ming's finger was only an inch away from her throat. She instantly understood that she had lost, and the difference in martial arts was huge, so she immediately gave in. But looking at her expression, she didn't know what she was planning.
Sitting Hong Qigong looked like he had known this before. He knew from Wang Ming's breathing that he had superior internal energy, so he asked Huang Rong to test it out.
"Not bad, would you mind gesticulating with the old beggar?"
"Senior is so interested, so junior should accompany you."
Hong Qigong put down the wine gourd, picked up the dog-beating stick and hit Wang Ming.
Wang Ming actually wanted to fight with Hong Qigong to understand what level his martial arts was in this world.
Wang Ming used the Five Mountains Sword Technique once he got started. The various exquisite sword techniques really showed off Hong Qigong's face. This was the most complex and changeable sword technique he had ever seen in his life. Sometimes the sword was powerful, sometimes it was agile. Unpredictable. Your view is dense and rigorous, in a blink of an eye it is strange and dangerous, and in another moment it is heavy and steady.
After about fifty moves, Hong Qigong no longer simply competed on the exquisiteness of his moves.
The development of Swordsman's martial arts moves is a kind of barbaric growth. In terms of sophistication, it is no worse than a dog-beating stick.
Hong Qi just cheated and used his powerful internal strength to break Wang Ming's sword skills.
【Fantasy Sword】
Wang Ming used [Fantasy Sword] to fight Hong Qigong again, evening the gap.
"Good swordsmanship, try my palm skills, you will regret it if you become a dragon"
Hong Qigong realized that he couldn't get any advantage by playing with Wang Ming's exquisite moves, so he used the fierce [Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms].
Wang Ming stuck his sword on the ground and raised his hand to face Hong Qigong. His face was instantly covered with purple clouds.
"The Magic Power of Zixia"
As soon as he touched it, he felt an extremely fierce internal energy coming over him. Wang Ming knew that [Purple Cloud Divine Art] and [Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms] were not on the same level of martial arts.
So he turned sideways to avoid a palm, and immediately returned another palm.
"This martial art is interesting. It is so cold that it can turn into ice out of thin air, but it is a pity that it hurts the internal organs."
Wang Ming used "Ice Qi", which is one of the few attributes in Jin Yong's world.
This martial art can be used to practice internal strength. The internal strength cultivated is extremely cold and has amazing lethality, but it is very harmful to the body. You can also just practice the line of true energy transformation and use it as an attack method, but the power is not as good as the former, but it also reduces the damage to the body.
Hong Qigong is indeed well-informed, and this martial art is indeed harmful to the body. Although "Ice Qi" is strange, after Hong Qigong became familiar with it, Wang Mingyou began to be at a disadvantage.
Wang Ming used the infuriating energy of [Vajra Indestructible Magic] to repel Hong Qigong several steps in an instant.
"The internal strength is pretty good. I took over my sixth-level skills, and now I'm going to try my seventh-level skills."
"What! Only the sixth floor?" Wang Ming was shocked.
As soon as Hong Qigong used his seventh-level skill, his [Indestructible Internal Power] was no longer enough, so he could only barely parry.
"Eighth Floor"
Wang Ming was instantly knocked back seven or eight steps, and Wang Ming knew he had lost.
"Yes, it's quite remarkable that you have such strength at your age. If you work hard for ten years, you can catch up with us old guys," Hong Qi said in a good mood after the good fight just now.
"I don't dare. This junior still has a long way to go."
Wang Ming asked Hong Qigong to compete in martial arts, mainly because he was of decent character, would not be tricked and killed, and his life would not be in danger if he lost.
Wang Ming was not surprised by this achievement. The [Indestructible Magic Kung Fu] was powerful, but he had never mastered this martial art at all. To be able to fight Hong Qigong like this without reaching the upper level of martial arts is enough to show how powerful this martial arts is.
