In Hou Qi's surprised eyes, Zhao Yan successfully gathered the energy and blood all over his body toward his Dantian!
"this"
As a current master, Hou Qi has seen too many big scenes and experienced too many bizarre things that ordinary people can't imagine, but what happened to Zhao Yan at this time was still beyond his understanding.
How can it be? !
It felt like Hou Qi witnessed a person crossing the mountains and seas in one step and reaching the pinnacle that countless people are fascinated by!
There are too many difficulties involved in condensing the energy and blood of the whole body. For any warrior, this is a mountain and sea that is difficult to cross. It requires talent, correct guidance, a lot of time and effort, and even more. Have luck.
However, Zhao Yan ignored these obstacles at once!
"How is this possible? Could it be that his control over his body and blood can instantly increase several levels? Is this also the talent of being a stranger?"
The only explanation Hou Qi could think of at this time was that this was some kind of talent that Zhao Yan had as a foreigner.
"This talent is so enviable."
Hou Qi smiled helplessly.
Even though he was hailed as a land god, his mood was shaken because of this and he became envious of Zhao Yan.
However, with his determination and experience, he quickly calmed down and watched Zhao Yan with anticipation as he completed the last step.
Hua Hua Hua——
There was the sound of water flowing in the room, which was the blood flowing in Zhao Yan's body.
Although this state is not as intense as when he used the Eight Shangjing Methods before, it is still fast enough. At this time, almost all the energy and blood in his body had been gathered in his Dantian!
However, unlike the state of the alchemy master when he exploded with elixir energy, although Zhao Yan's energy and blood gathered into a ball at the dantian, they did not continue to collapse or shrink inward.
This condensed state lasted for less than a second before Zhao Yan took the initiative to slowly disperse the energy and blood throughout his body.
After a moment, he opened his eyes.
"Congratulations."
Hou Qi said to Zhao Yan with a complicated expression.
Zhao Yan has completed the most critical first step to break through to the alchemy path, which is also the perfect control of the energy and blood in the whole body.
Next, he only needs to take one more step to become the master of Danjin!
When Han Dianguo explained the extraordinary boxing skills to Zhao Yan, he said:
"Alchemy pursues two kinds of perfection. One is perfection on the material level. You must be able to bring all the energy and blood of the whole body under your control without leakage.
The second is spiritual perfection, which is also the complete mastery of the martial arts one has learned, without a trace of doubt or doubt, and being able to be consistent with one's own beliefs! "
Now that Zhao Yan has completed the first step, he still needs to achieve spiritual perfection.
If he could do this, the Qi and blood that had just gathered in the Dantian would collapse inward and be highly condensed, thus bursting out with inhuman power, which is Dan Jin!
"What a miracle."
Hou Qi sighed, "Is this your talent?"
Even as a master, he was very curious about this.
Zhao Yan nodded: "Yes, it can be regarded as my talent."
In the national martial arts attribute panel, why can't it be considered a talent?
"It's breathtaking."
Hou Qi smiled and sighed.
Zhao Yanze got off the bed and cupped his fists at Hou Qi:
"I still need to ask Brother Hou for advice on how to proceed next."
Hou Qi nodded and said without any hesitation:
"Actually, at this point, I can no longer give you any advice, because this last step towards extraordinary boxing involves the spiritual level, and everyone's will, ideals, and thinking are different, so even if I am already Dan Jin Warrior, I can’t give you any advice.”
Zhao Yan nodded.
This last step is really only related to the individual, and no one else can help. A peerless talent like Wu Li could not help his junior brother take the last step, and even asserted that Han Dianguo could not take this path.
Han Dianguo's original state was the same as that of Zhao Yan at this time. He had reached the peak of the Three Arts and achieved physical perfection. However, because he combined his martial arts with firearms, he could never achieve spiritual perfection. Complete.
"How did Brother Hou cross the last step?"
Zhao Yan asked.
Although Hou Qi couldn't give him any advice, at least he could learn from the other party's experience.
"I took the last step when the Eastern Navy invaded the four northwest provinces two years ago."
Hou Qi said slowly.
He is the one who took the shortest time to become a master among the three great masters in China, but he is now the one with the highest reputation and the most respect among the three great masters!
"At that time, the 160,000-strong Northwest Army was completely defeated by the Eastern Navy. The soldiers were defeated, the city was lost, and the compatriots were massacred and humiliated over and over again. The four northwest provinces were bleeding for thousands of miles, and the cities were filled with corpses and turned into hell!"
Hou Qi said word for word.
Every word weeps blood!
Zhao Yan subconsciously clenched his fists, and his blood naturally surged.
Hou Qi looked into his eyes and continued:
"And I can't bear it!"
He didn’t talk too much about his inner journey, and he didn’t say any impassioned words. He just said three simple words:
I can't bear it!
And for these three words, everyone in the world saw how far Hou Qi could go.
"I started by killing the minority naval soldiers I encountered, and later I even sneaked into the enemy camp and killed the generals of the Eastern Navy."
"Later, a regiment of the Eastern Navy attacked a county town. The soldiers who defended the city fought bloody and riskless, but they were still defeated. Seeing that the city was about to be destroyed, I quietly sneaked up near the commander of the regiment and killed him with one blow. !”
"The Eastern Navy Wing was thrown into chaos due to the sudden death of its commander. The soldiers in the city seized the opportunity to fight back and ultimately won the battle."
"That time, I thought I saw hope."
Hou Qi looked out the window with deep eyes.
"But not long after I left, the county town was still attacked by the Eastern Navy, and because the father of the commander I killed was a senior executive of the Eastern Navy, the Eastern Navy retaliated and destroyed that The county town was massacred!"
"."
Zhao Yan remained silent.
He could imagine how desperate and self-blame Hou Qi was at that time.
He thought he could turn the tide, thought he saw hope, but what happened was a devastating blow. He might even feel that tens of thousands of people in that county were killed by him.
"I was very confused at the time. What could I change in the end with my own strength? Isn't it like a mantis' arm is like a cart, and a cricket is shaking a tree? How ridiculous?!"
Hou Qi murmured.
Zhao Yan can understand the other party's mood.
It is indeed too powerless for one person to face a rapidly rising powerful empire, face a hundred thousand Eastern Navy, and face a torrent of steel composed of aircraft, cannons, tanks, and even aircraft carriers.
"I sat in meditation by the Li River for two days. At one point I wanted to throw the knife in my hand into the river and leave."
Hou Qi continued to describe his original mental journey:
"But when the sun rose on the third day, I suddenly remembered what my master said to me on the first day of learning swordsmanship."
"What words?"
"Only the sword can make a hundred cuts, but the heart is not easy."
Hou Qi looked into Zhao Yan's eyes and said word by word.
Zhao Yan looked stunned, a little dazed.
Only the knife can be sharp enough to cut through all obstacles, and only the human heart can never waver.
This is what the literal translation of this sentence means.
But Hou Qi’s master told him this at the beginning:
"A person can practice his sword skills enough to split everything, but it is difficult for a person's heart to be firm and never waver."
"I couldn't understand what Master said at the beginning, because I have deeply realized how difficult it is to practice sword skills. If you can practice sword skills to the point where you can split everything, how many difficulties and obstacles will you have to overcome? How much talent and talent is needed? Like this How can a person still be unable to strengthen his heart?"
"It wasn't until the moment the morning sun rose that I truly understood what Master said back then. It turns out that what is more difficult to practice than the sword is indeed the human heart."
"It was at that moment that I took the last step to completely perfect my martial arts will, merge it with my Qi and blood, and achieve the realm of alchemy! Only the sword can strike a hundred times, but the heart is not easy. Only the heart is unwavering and will never change. Only when you waver can you chop through everything with your sword, it is unstoppable!"
"This is my way of swordsmanship."
Hou Qi told Zhao Yan how he broke through the realm, and also revealed his martial arts will and his way.
Only the sword can make hundreds of mistakes, but only the heart is not easy!
If it were another person and a different state of mind, it might be difficult for Zhao Yan to truly understand it.
But Hou Qi's story is too legendary, and his deeds are known all over the world. Combined with what he said at this time, Zhao Yan really feels that he feels the same.
If the heart is unwavering, the sword can cut everything!
Faced with the torrent of the empire and the overwhelming trend, Hou Qi truly achieved this:
The 160,000 Northwest Army retreated, but he never retreated!
Even if it was a mantis blocking a car, even if a centipede shook a tree, he did not waver!
Hence the legend that the Eastern Navy was forced to converge in the four northwest provinces, and that one man could defeat a hundred thousand troops!
Zhao Yan could not imagine how much strong willpower it would take to be able to achieve "idealism is not easy" in such a desperate situation.
It was precisely this strong will and spirit that enabled Hou Qi to have an epiphany and become a master at sunrise on the banks of the Li River.
"too difficult"
Zhao Yan murmured.
Such a breakthrough and such martial will are too difficult to replicate.
"This is just my personal experience. If you want to break through, you may not have to be like me."
Hou Qi smiled.
"As long as you can find the martial arts will that you are willing to pursue throughout your life, and believe in it without any reservation, without any doubt, you can reach the same state as me!"
Zhao Yan nodded, thoughtfully.
"Only the sword can make hundreds of mistakes, but the heart is not easy. I can't give you any guidance on this last step, I can only give you these words."
Hou Qi looked at Zhao Yan and said with a smile.
Zhao Yan clasped his fists at Hou Qi with a solemn expression:
"Thank you, Brother Hou, for preaching to me!"
[Attention all players, the first phase of the mission has ended]
[The contribution points of the player God of Chinese Martial Arts in the first phase of the mission are 5420]
[The second phase of the mission starts, all players participate in the battle across the river, and their contribution points in this war reach at least 100 points]
As soon as Zhao Yan finished speaking, the loud and cold mechanical sound sounded in his ears, and three lines of font appeared in front of his eyes.
The first phase of the mission is over, and the Chinese Army's attack on the East China Sea Marine Warfare Command is over.
After more than ten days, under the arrangement of the former enemy commander-in-chief Lin Shu, four armies with a total of 120,000 people participated in the battle, but in the end they still failed to break through the East China Sea Marine Warfare Command.
The last time Zhou Chen came to this world, the Chinese Army also failed to break through the East China Sea Marine Warfare Command in the first phase of the mission.
This time, despite the presence of Xiang Yi and others, as well as huge variables like Zhao Yan, the final outcome was still not changed.
The accidental death of Qi Zhihui of the 27th Army, coupled with the assassination of some middle- and high-level generals, resulted in the 27th Army's combat effectiveness being weaker than Zhou Chen's time.
However, Zhao Yan blew up an arsenal and killed several senior officers of the Eastern Navy, which smoothed this disadvantage and even made a small profit.
As for Xiang Yi leading the team to fight behind enemy lines, the effect is there, but it is difficult to change the overall situation.
So the final result is that more strongholds on the periphery of the East China Sea Marine Warfare Command were removed than Zhou Chen's time, and the East China Sea Navy's casualties were slightly more than Zhou Chen's time.
Nothing else.
In this mission world, the first stage is when the Shenzhou Army takes the initiative to launch an attack on the Eastern Navy, and the Eastern Navy takes a defensive position.
After more than ten days, reinforcements from the Eastern Navy have arrived, as have reinforcements from the Shenzhou Army. The two sides have increased their input of troops and entered the stalemate stage of this battle, which is the battle across the river.
A total of more than 300,000 Shenzhou troops crossed the Li River and fought in a melee with nearly 100,000 Eastern Navy troops on the other side of the river!
According to Zhou Chen's description, both sides continued to invest troops in this battle. In the final stage of the fight, the Shenzhou Army invested a total of more than 700,000 people. The East Navy also included the Second Navy Fleet and the Third Navy Fleet to assist. There were more than 200,000 people in total, and the total troops invested by both sides exceeded one million.
In this battle across the river, the requirement for players is to obtain 100 contribution points, which is equivalent to killing a hundred Donghai soldiers on the battlefield, or achieving other military exploits.
The first stage is when the Shenzhou Army takes the initiative, and it is relatively easy to obtain contribution points on the battlefield. The second stage is the stalemate stage, and the entire battlefield is a huge millstone of flesh and blood!
If you want to get 100 contribution points, you can only risk your life.
But this is nothing to Zhao Yan, he can complete the task easily.
And 100 contribution points is far from his goal.
"Brother Hou, I have to go."
Zhao Yan said to Hou Qi.
Hou Qiyi was stunned: "Where are you going?"
Zhao Yan turned around and looked out the window, smiling boldly:
"Cross the river and kill the enemy!"
"Okay, you and I will go together!"
Hou Qi didn't hesitate at all.
He has spent the past ten days not only giving guidance to Zhao Yan, but also recovering from his injuries. Now that the gunshot wound on his body has almost healed, it is time to continue to use the knife.
"Hahahaha, if you and I join forces, we will definitely turn him upside down!"
Under the setting sun, heroic oaths were heard in the small courtyard.
PS: I didn’t want to explain more at first, but I’m afraid people will think I’m deliberately showing off. Let me just say that I’ve been sick for the past week and I’m very annoyed, so it’s hard to update. I’ll definitely resume two updates after my body recovers.
In addition, this copy is the first long-term copy of the book. I am still very ambitious. I want to write about the grandeur in my heart, the integrity of the nation, the passion of warriors, and what is national martial arts!
I hope the follow-up story will satisfy everyone~
