After one hour.
"Are you really sure you want to follow me to the Ancient Xuan Kingdom in the Eastern Continent?"
When Xuanzong learned of Chen Mo's purpose, he stood on the edge of the deck and looked at the sea, and couldn't help but frown slightly. Apparently, he had not thought that Chen Mo would come to him.
"Yes, Master Xuanzong."
Chen Mo said firmly: "The reason why I have practiced telekinesis since I was a child is entirely because I was born in the Western Continent. However, deep down in my heart, I have actually been fascinated by the martial arts of the Eastern Continent. Especially after this in-depth contact with the martial arts masters, I am even more fascinated. I have strengthened my belief. Compared to the path of being a superpower, I believe that one day I will achieve higher achievements in martial arts. Please accept me as your disciple no matter what!"
Then Chen Mo actually showed off his basic boxing skills in front of Xuanzong.
Seeing that Chen Mo did have some basic boxing skills, and that he was saved by the opponent, Xuanzong reluctantly nodded.
"It's a pity that Zhang Qiang is no longer here, otherwise his Tongjiquan and Shenglongquan would be more suitable for you."
Chen Mo hurriedly said: "Master Xuanzong, what I am pursuing is not skills and moves."
"Um?"
Xuanzong turned his head and looked at Chen Mo doubtfully.
Chen Mo continued: "As the saying goes, practicing martial arts without practicing martial arts will be in vain in the end. What I want to learn is not ordinary martial arts moves, but basic skills and internal skills. If any martial arts moves are not supported by basic skills and internal skills, Chen Mo continued. , will eventually be a loft in the sky, a flower in the mirror, and a rootless duckweed."
The so-called martial arts moves can be compared to combat skills in a disaster world, and are also called killing techniques by martial artists.
As for basic skills and internal skills, they are things that most martial arts masters scorned when they were young, but will pursue them instead when they reach a certain age. Not only do they require a long period of meditation and practice, but they have little effect, they are often accompanied by corresponding training. Supported by martial arts concepts, this is also similar to the first-level predator stage of natural disaster victims, from the initial pursuit of combat skill strength to the pursuit of professional strengthening.
"How can you be so enlightened?"
Xuanzong looked at Chen Mo for a long time, showing sadness.
"I feel ashamed to say that I only realized this when I was thirty years old, and was actually regarded as the renaissance talent of the Huayi Sect. And you were able to have such an awakening at such an age, if I hadn't already Having become a useless person, there is no hope for the Huayi Sect to be revived..."
The side effects of the body damage recovery agent seemed to have begun to appear in Xuanzong's body. He could clearly feel that his body was undergoing uncontrollable mutations.
As the meridians in his body were misaligned and acupuncture points closed, his martial arts foundation was slowly disappearing.
This is undoubtedly a huge blow to a martial arts practitioner.
"I am already a useless person, are you sure you still want to follow me?"
"I am sure."
Chen Mo said firmly: "I know that my basic skills are very poor. If you hadn't encountered such a change, you wouldn't think highly of me at all. In some ways, this is also my opportunity, so no matter what, I will follow You study as hard as you can and never give up halfway.”
"good."
When Xuanzong heard this, he couldn't help but said with great enthusiasm: "If it weren't for you, I might have died here. There is a saying in the ancient Xuan Kingdom that teaches students in accordance with their aptitude. After I return, I will conduct a comprehensive evaluation and inspection of you, and then focus on your martial arts." Targeted guidance based on your talents will train you into a malleable talent.”
Professionalization can be divided into two stages.
The initial stage is the training of basic skills. This is the most polishing stage and also the most difficult and boring stage.
Taking the natural disaster victims as an example, if they just want to meet the requirements for wearing equipment and learning advanced skills, even dark gold level equipment and S level skills will only require a proficiency level of around Lv35 at most.
However, powerful natural disaster destroyers often upgrade their basic skills to a higher level. For example, the masters of the third-level natural disaster destroyers in major gathering places often upgrade their specialized basic skills to above Lv40. Some will even reach Lv50, surpassing most natural disaster lords.
It is precisely for this reason that the grandmasters in major gathering places are often regarded as the peak natural disaster victims in a general sense. The grandmaster competition after every doomsday mission is often the busiest time in major gathering places.
The second stage is the formal professionalization stage.
On the premise that the corresponding basic skill level is qualified, some advanced professional systems often have abnormal requirements for basic skills, which will lead to fewer and fewer inheritors, and will eventually even reach the point of being cut off. This is not because The professional strength is not enough, but because there are too few talents who can meet the relevant requirements.
The characteristic of professionalism is that one can continuously become stronger through learning and practice.
This can not only obtain combat skills that do not occupy the skill grid, but also steadily improve one's own attributes and reach a higher stage.
Otherwise, if the natural disaster victims want to improve themselves by plundering genius treasures, elixirs, and completing tasks to obtain free attribute points, although it is not impossible, it is equivalent to becoming rootless duckweeds. As the natural disaster level increases, the level will increase. The process will also become more and more difficult until they are completely left behind by other professional natural disaster victims.
After all, after reaching a higher level of natural disasters, the attribute points of natural disaster victims can easily exceed hundreds or even thousands, and the related amplified treasures will also become extremely precious, and the difficulty of obtaining them is far beyond that of low-level treasures.
…
Half a month later.
Chen Mo followed Xuanzong and took a ferry to a port city called 'Sleepless City' in the ancient Xuan Kingdom.
Compared with the advancement of the Western Continent, the Eastern Continent is more backward, and the Guxuan Kingdom is a very inconspicuous one among the dozens of large and small countries in the Eastern Continent.
Walking on the Qingshi Street, Chen Mo looked left and right.
He saw that many people here were in ragged clothes, and some even wore straw sandals.
This place is like a prosperous southern city during the Republic of China. Under the luxurious appearance of a few rich people, there are tens of thousands of people living at the bottom, struggling to survive every day.
No matter how beautiful the neon lights are on the street, they can't hide the beggars in the dark corners of the road.
A coolie driver pulls a rickshaw through the streets.
Railway buses shuttled, and classic cars stopped under the neon lights from time to time, and the laughter of beautiful women with heavy makeup came from inside.
"We'll stay here for now."
Xuanzong took Chen Mo to a dilapidated hotel.
A giant cockroach that looked like a cicada quickly crawled across the counter in front of the two of them. The skinny boss, holding a cigarette in his mouth, casually took out a guest room key and handed it to the two of them as if he didn't see them.
"Check out at 12 noon, and the expired deposit will not be refunded."
"knew."
After the two arrived at the small room, the hot and humid environment made people frown. Chen Mo looked at the neon lights on the high-rise buildings outside the window and asked, "Is Guxuan Kingdom so far behind compared to the countries in the Western Continent?"
"The country is poor and weak and cannot be controlled by warriors like us. I heard that the root of all this is due to a sect turmoil a hundred years ago. Countless people from the Xuanwu Taoist family died, which also caused the centuries of turmoil in the ancient Xuan Kingdom. From now on, the Eastern Continent has been unable to recover, hey."
Xuanzong's voice was a little lonely.
Especially after seeing the life of the Hive Organization and the Western Continent countries, he deeply realized the backwardness of the Ancient Xuan Kingdom, but he was unable to do anything about it.
the next day.
Huayi Gate is located on a hill dozens of miles away from Sleepless City.
Green mountains, green trees, mountain streams.
A rather simple and elegant courtyard is located between two mountains. However, due to the lack of people and lack of maintenance all year round, the simple courtyard looks a little more desolate, like an old man in his twilight years.
"master?"
"master!"
Facing the two remaining disciples of the Huayi Sect, experiencing this catastrophe and feeling their increasingly weak bodies, Xuanzong led the two to the Patriarch Hall and offered incense respectfully.
He recalled the past.
He had promised his master that he would revive the Huayi Sect. Now, in the Guxuan Kingdom, the Huayi Sect was still just a third-rate small sect with no hope left.
If you continue to hold on, once someone who is motivated by profit comes to your door, you will only be forced to disband after being humiliated. It is better to disband the Huayi Sect personally while you still have some strength left, so as to save some face. , it is better than humiliating the ancestor.
Thinking of this, Xuanzong couldn't help crying.
"I declare that from today on, the Huayi Sect will be officially disbanded. You two will come to me later to collect some travel expenses. From now on, you can each settle down with your destiny."
When the two disciples heard this, they immediately rushed to dissuade him.
However, neither of them had any martial arts qualifications. Even if they persisted here, it would be difficult to achieve anything and realize their master's ambitions. After seeing that their persuasion was fruitless, they could not go against Xuanzong's will and could only leave separately.
"Do you really plan to dissolve the sect and retire into seclusion?"
Chen Mo was still a little unbelievable.
Xuanzong said lonely: "If I wasn't forced to have no choice, how could I give up? But this is the case in the ancient Xuan Kingdom. It is natural for the sects to eat the weak and the strong. With the current strength of the Huayi Sect, it is simply not enough to occupy the mountain gate here. Instead of waiting for latecomers to come and humiliate me, it is better to disband on my own. Maybe future generations will remember the history here and choose to leave one or two books of my own skills as inheritance. I can be considered worthy of my ancestors."
From what Xuanzong meant, it seemed that he wanted to leave all the family property of the sect, including martial arts, internal skills, mental skills, etc., to whoever would occupy this place later.
"Come on, let me see your basic skills."
Xuanzong, who had taken this step, seemed to have finally been relieved, and his mood was much better.
He smiled and said: "While I am still the master here and before I leave, let me find a suitable inner skill and mental method for you."
After saying that, Chen Mo began to show himself in various ways under Xuanzong's instructions.
Of course, Xuanzong couldn't directly test it through optical brain data like the natural disaster victims, but he was able to judge Chen Mo's basic attributes and basic skill levels through the vision and experience of a martial artist.
The more Xuanzong looked, the more he frowned, and his expression became quite solemn.
Of course, Chen Mo also knew that his basic attributes were definitely not excellent in the eyes of the other party.
"How long can you stay here?"
"Probably half a year."
Chen Mo's answer made Xuanzong's expression become more solemn.
"If you give me three years and you cooperate wholeheartedly, I have some confidence in cultivating you into a malleable talent suitable for practicing Huayi Sect's internal skills and mental methods, but if I only have half a year..."
Xuanzong slowly shook his head.
Chen Mo also knew that in the eyes of the other party, his basic skills were definitely not up to par. Even if he joined other sects, they would only be at the level of an outer disciple. If he hadn't saved Xuanzong, he probably wouldn't think much of him at all. One glance.
In his current state, in terms of basic skills, he might not be as good as the two incompetent disciples in his eyes.
