After reading the notice, everyone parted ways and continued working hard towards new goals. This is the end of the month-and-a-half border journey, but new challenges are coming.
Yiran returned to his dormitory. The dormitory was no different from when he left, except for being covered with a light layer of dust. Instead of wiping it with cotton cloth, Yiran suddenly used his mental power to wrap up the dust particles and knead them into a ball. Although he was mentally exhausted at that moment, he immediately knew how many particles the pile was made of. The mysterious and mysterious touch of dust tissue made Yiran very interesting, and this way of cleaning the dormitory also made Yiran understand the magical use of mental power.
Not long after, there was not a speck of dust in the dormitory. Yiran sat cross-legged on the bed, sorting out what he had gained this time, and thinking about the direction of his recent improvement.
His body has recovered, and his cultivation has reached the peak of the late stage of weapon refining, which is probably the strength of a nine-star warrior! It's just that the recovery of mental power is relatively slow. Without the support of heavenly materials, earthly treasures or elixirs, it requires an extremely slow recovery process. But compared to other martial arts cultivators, mental power is entirely his own privilege. Only he has the mental power that can be released externally. The physical body has also reached a limit. After eating Warcraft meat for a month, the improvement of his physical body will be minimal if he continues to eat meat.
Therefore, what can be improved now is martial arts. Since he wanted to practice martial arts, Yiran thought about weapons again. Although the ranking competition would reward a weapon, it was best to get a handy sword before that.
Yiran still remembers the Green Lotus Sword Technique used in the battle in Gucheng. Even if he only holds a peach wood thorn in his hand, it is much more useful than condensing the true energy into a sword with bare hands. After all, his cultivation level is still too low, and he must use his true energy reasonably in battle. And compared to Qinglian Sword Jue and Five Thunders Zhengxin, Yiran felt that he had to practice some martial arts in this world, not only to increase his understanding of martial arts, but also to make his battles less shocking.
After practicing hard all night, Yiran went to school on time the next day. Since he came back, he still had to continue taking classes. Huang Zhan's practical courses also added targeted weapons training from today on, targeting different weapons selected by the students. Weapons, guide basic moves. Similar to the boxing skills taught at the beginning, what Huang Zhan taught was the basic moves of eighteen kinds of weapons, because even Huang Zhan could not be proficient in eighteen kinds of weapons.
Yiran chose a long sword. The sword is three feet long, has a straight head and has double blades. It is the king of weapons. Yiran chose to use the sword not only because he had practiced the Qinglian Sword Technique, but also because he knew the history of the sword. The sword is an ancient sacred item, the most noble and noble, and the ancestor of the short sword. Emperors of all dynasties will carry a three-foot green sword. Li Taibai, the poet immortal who was called Qinglian layman, was also called the sword immortal, and his sword was named Qinglian sword. It was because I thought of Qinglian layman Li Taibai that I chose to practice Qinglian Sword Technique.
Although some people also choose to use long swords as weapons, the number is very small, because this kind of short and light sword is more suitable for fighting rather than fighting against monsters.
They, Professor Huang Zhan, only have three basic moves, cutting, cutting, and stabbing. Their daily task is to practice thousands of cuts, thousands of cuts, and thousands of stabs.
Both Ma Mingyao and Tiemusheng chose long swords. The sword is the first of the nine short weapons among the eighteen kinds of weapons. It has a long and narrow blade with a thin blade and a thick ridge. A poet once said this about the sword: "Autumn water flies over the wrists, and ice flowers scatter all over the body. The soft eyes wrap around the limbs, and the delicate body cannot move away from the dust. The shining silver sea shakes, and the moon rolls round. The sound scares the White Emperor, and the light loses youth." The murderous atmosphere fills the sky, the ghosts and gods weep in the cold light. After dancing, the purple sleeves return, and the air is full of Xiao."
In Yiran's opinion, although the sword is the weapon of the king, it is far less powerful than the sword. The battle between swords has always been a good story in the world. And under the development of that world for thousands of years, knives have been refined into a variety of national characteristics of each era. For example, Huanshou Dao, Saber Dao, Pu Dao, Long and Short Dual Dao, etc.
What we see in this world is nothing more than the simplest long sword. For those children who choose long knives, what they need to practice is cutting, stabbing, and robbing. Each move also needs to be practiced a thousand times.
Zhou Ming chose the spear, which was also the most chosen weapon. Li Yiyi and Zhou Huiming also chose the spear.
Every inch is longer and every inch stronger, especially in battles with huge monsters, the long-term combat power that can be exerted is far beyond that of short weapons.
The tip of the gun is made of hard and precious metal, and the gun shaft is often made of wood with excellent toughness, making the long gun extremely destructive. Combining with the powerful marksmanship, he has both strength and softness in combat. He can be unstoppable or retreat like a rock. The path of the gun is ever-changing.
As for other weapons, axes and axes were more popular among boys with strong bodies, while several girls chose long whips. Only Jin Chen chose the giant bow.
The bow can shoot enemies from a long distance, and its attack range is beyond magic. However, except for the archer battalion in the army, very few people will choose to use this weapon. Because martial arts cultivators are more accustomed to close combat, only in this way can their inner strength be brought into full play. Once an archer is approached by an enemy, it will be the end.
The distance is not as flexible and explosive as the magician, and the advantage of close combat is lost. The status of the bow as a weapon is extremely embarrassing, so very few people will choose to use this weapon.
There are eighteen kinds of weapons in the world, each with its own merits. The strong men who use various weapons are contending with each other, and all kinds of exquisite moves are unimaginable and impossible.
But among the monks who aim to fight against Warcraft, almost most people choose long weapons for close range because they have a large attack range and can perform more moves.
At the end of the first practical lesson, every child has understood the key points of the basic moves of the selected weapon. All that is left to do is just two words: practice hard!
A move a thousand times, even if the internal strength is not weak, cannot be completed in a short time. And Yiran and the others would go to the practice room to practice every afternoon. Now Yiran was old enough to go to the practice room on the second floor. Just to avoid disturbing others, Yiran still chose the nine-star practice room on the first floor. The three of them, Ma Mingyao, could not stay in the one-star training room on the first floor for an entire hour. However, in such a short period of time, their cultivation levels have made great progress, and they are making great strides towards the realm of warriors every day. Go.
Yiran's body has reached the peak of the mortal body, and it is extremely difficult to swing the weapon three thousand times without using true energy. Only after practicing for five days, every movement began to become extremely skillful, and the control of the opponent's three-foot green forward was accurate to the millimeter. The position and angle of each stroke became more convenient.
Therefore, Yiran felt that he needed to buy a convenient weapon. For the upcoming competition, he must be familiar with the weapon in his hand, otherwise it would be better to be comfortable without a weapon. Thinking of this, Yiran immediately went to the exchange to find a handy long sword. The requirements for long swords are the lowest and the best among first-level swords. If there are second-level swords, it is of course the best.
Arriving at the exchange, Yiran went straight to the counter, even as a child doing odd jobs approached Yiran.
"Hello, sir, how can I help you?"
"If I want to buy a long sword, it's best to have a second-level sword. If it doesn't work, you can also have a first-level sword."
Hearing that Yiran needed a second-level weapon, the child immediately called the shopkeeper. They had only dealt with some goods of low value. For a second-level weapon like this, which can easily cost a few gold coins, the shopkeeper must Come and take care of it.
The physique of this shopkeeper is completely different from that of shopkeeper Liu Xuecheng Gao. He is lean and capable and has an aura that never dissipates. His strength is better than his own, and he is no less competitive than his mentor Huang Zhan.
The shopkeeper came with a smile on his face, which made people feel like spring. He walked up to Yiran and whispered: "My surname is Ming. I heard that you want to buy a second-level weapon?" The voice was kind and magnetic.
"Hello, Shopkeeper Ming, yes, I want to buy a second-level long sword."
As soon as these words came out, not only the shopkeeper Ming was stunned, but also other customers in the exchange cast strange looks.
"Are you sure you want a second-level long sword? There are many second-level weapons, including heavy swords, guns, axes, and knives, but this long sword is relatively rare. Follow me to the armory in the inner hall to see if there is any. It’s eye-catching.”
After Yi Ran and shopkeeper Ming entered the inner hall, whispers came from the exchange in twos and threes.
"That man actually wants to buy a second-level weapon, and it's a long sword!"
"That's it, a second-level weapon. How can ordinary people afford it? Judging from his stature, he should be only a sophomore or even a freshman, right?"
"Those who need to buy weapons are usually civilians. I guess they want to get good weapons. Huiburi will be less likely to drop out of school at the end of the year."
"Hmph, I bought a second-level weapon. It must be to suppress the opponent with the weapon, and it turned out to be a weapon like a long sword that is more suitable for fighting with people!"
There are all kinds of envy, jealousy, and discomfort. They speculate on the psychology of others with the greatest malice, just because others are richer than themselves.
They don't even need to know Yiran's cultivation. Just because Yiran can buy second-level weapons, they will be jealous and crazy, feeling that they were born at the wrong time or that they are not so lucky to make a lot of money. Some people also heard that Yi Ranxiang bought a long sword because he wanted to rely on the power of the powerful weapon to defeat more opponents in the year-end martial arts competition.
It's just that they never thought that everyone has the opportunity to make money. Not to mention going to the Jedi to mine, even going to the border to hunt exotic beasts can earn enough money. As for weapons, no matter what kind of weapon you choose, you need constant practice to exert strong combat power.
At this moment, they are not practicing outside or going to the border for support. They are still staying in small groups in the exchange, jealous that others are better than themselves. These people are destined not to go far. No matter how much cynicism you have in your heart, no matter how much God is unfair, it is just a joke. Perhaps they will say goodbye to the First Martial Arts Academy after the year-end martial arts competition in a month's time. Perhaps when they are eliminated and drop out of school, they will regret why they did not work hard.
Of course, Yi Ran didn't care about the jealousy and resentment of those weaklings and followed Shopkeeper Ming into the inner hall. The layout of the inner hall is completely different from the outside. It is divided into four warehouses according to weapons, magic and martial arts, natural materials and earthly treasures, and pharmaceutical liquids. The warehouse door is made of fine iron, and there are exquisite mechanisms on the door. Only the key in the shopkeeper's hand can open these fine iron doors.
Only then did Yi Ran realize that it was no wonder that the shopkeeper of the exchange had such a high level of cultivation!
