Street vendors are shouting and selling, and tourists are passing through, accompanied by all kinds of pets, including antlers, bears, dogs, and cats, and the noise is endless.
In the streets and alleys of the city, there are gorgeously decorated houses scattered in an orderly manner. There is a public arena set up in an open-air square. The beastmasters on the stage stand on both sides. , the sound of melee fighting entered the car.
Jiang Xue looked at the scenery outside the car, her little face full of excitement.
The little mantis on her shoulder also danced its swords excitedly, imagining that she was the pet beast fighting in the ring.
"Senior, can you make money by playing in the ring?" Jiang Xue saw people under the ring raising money tickets, and some even smashed spiritual stones into it.
Lu Yuan followed and glanced at the arena.
He kept his language proficiency skill on at all times, slightly adjusted the direction of his mental communication, and listened intently to the voices of the people in the ring.
The roar of people's voices broke into his ears. Lu Yuan took a few seconds to sort out the information and said: "The winner on the stage will get a spiritual stone. The people behind the stage are betting on how many minutes they can last and who wins."
When Jiang Xue heard this, she secretly wrote down this way to make money.
"But you have also seen that this is a life-and-death contract arena, not a showdown between pet beasts. They do not attack lightly or harshly. Some pet beasts are specifically rushing to kill pet beasts. Are you afraid?" Lu Yuan said.
Since Jiang Xue wants to make progress, she must understand the dangers involved.
Lu Yuan was not trying to persuade her to quit, but was testing her ability to withstand pressure and her determination to make progress.
Those who are indecisive will perish in life-and-death battles.
If you want to become stronger, you first need to develop a strong heart.
Jiang Xue's temperament is still very simple, like a blank sheet of paper.
Such a character will definitely not be able to withstand the abuse when exposed to the outside world.
When Jiang Xue heard Lu Yuan's question, her face turned a little pale.
I just wanted to make money, but I didn't expect that the pet beast showdown in the city was so dangerous, and that I was risking my life to make money.
"I..." Jiang Xue looked at the little mantis next to her.
She couldn't make a decision for the little mantis. This matter required the little mantis's own consent.
The two antennae on the head of the little mantis trembled, and its four legs retreated half a step on the shoulders. It was obviously a little scared.
"Confidence comes from constant fighting. Don't think about those dangerous lives. At least it's not suitable for you now." Lu Yuan said.
"Well, I understand, senior." Jiang Xue thought that senior Lu would persuade her to go back.
After hearing this, she realized that Lu Yuan was serious about teaching her how to survive, rather than just preaching.
"Thank you, senior." Jiang Xue said sincerely.
This was the bravest step she had ever taken.
Even she herself couldn't believe that she was so brave. Now that she has seen the dangers in the city, her mood has stabilized and she is no longer so brainless. At the same time, her own courage is also insufficient... If time could go over again, she would return to the farewell scene at the entrance of the village. , she didn’t dare to say that she would definitely take that step.
After a while, the convoy entered the Tornado Martial Arts Hall.
The people in the carriage got off the carriage one after another. As soon as Lu Yuan and Jiang Xue got off the carriage, Zhuge Xiu came over and said with a smile:
"Senior Lu, is this your apprentice?"
Jiang Xue looked embarrassed. How dare she claim to be Lu Yuan's disciple.
Just as he was about to defend his identity, Lu Yuan said, "This is my student."
Apprentice and student have similar meanings, but different specific meanings.
A disciple is someone who learns Lu Yuan's skills and inherits Lu Yuan's lineage.
If you are a student, the relationship level will be much weaker, and you will not be in touch with the true core of inheritance.
But it is not ruled out that the relationship may become a regular relationship and become an apprentice in the future.
How could Jiang Xue care about so many twists and turns?
When she heard what Lu Yuan said, she was startled for a moment, and then she felt overjoyed.
'I am actually a student of Senior Lu! '
Zhuge Xiu also nodded, looked at the mantis beast on her shoulder, and said thoughtfully: 'It turned out to be a student, but her mantis beast...'
Lu Yuan's students cultivated mantis beasts, and Lu Yuan expressed his desire to learn the inheritance of whirlwind mantis.
Is this about finding a suitable legacy for his students?
Zhuge Xiu's mind was spinning, and he said with a welcome expression:
"Then I will arrange two adjacent guest rooms for you, Miss Jiang. I have asked my servant to boil hot water. You can change into clean clothes later."
"Thank you, Senior Zhuge." Jiang Xue thanked him hurriedly.
"It's okay, can you please come over here, Senior Lu?"
"please."
Lu Yuan and Zhuge Xiu entered the main hall of the martial arts hall.
Jiang Xue followed the servant to take a shower.
She couldn't just walk around inside with her dirty look, it would lose Lu Yuan's face.
…
"Whoosh!"
"puff!"
In the training ground of the martial arts hall, the young beast masters are actively training the mantis beasts to fight in pairs.
Lu Yuan followed Zhuge Xiu to a wooden pile field. Dozens of wooden piles were erected on the sand. Several mantis beasts flexibly used their mantis jumps to move around on the wooden piles very quickly.
"This is our Whirlwind Mantis' whirlwind training method. By constantly jumping and spinning in the air for a longer time, we achieve the purpose of training.
"As long as you spin for a longer time, the success rate of understanding the whirlwind will be greater.
“But just by looking at the superficial training, you can’t directly understand Whirlwind Slash.
"As for how to train whirlwind, that is the secret of this hall.
"Senior Lu, if outsiders want to learn the inheritance of our martial arts hall, they usually have to pay tuition. When they come to be a trainee disciple in the martial arts hall, they can only learn the superficial knowledge. The real whirlwind can only be learned by true disciples.
"If you want to learn the real inherited craftsmanship, I'm not very optimistic about it. The master will not agree to it."
Zhuge Xiu shook his head and expressed his disapproval.
He really regarded Lu Yuan as a powerful senior. He didn't mean to deceive him, but he really didn't like him.
True inheritance cannot be passed on to you so easily.
"Whether it can be negotiated or not, you have to see it before you know it." Lu Yuan was noncommittal.
He stared at the mantis beasts on the field, his eyes staring intently, as if he was attracted by the two-star mantis beasts who had not yet understood the whirlwind slash.
Zhuge Xiu smiled: "If you have confidence, I will not stop you. When Miss Jiang comes out from bathing and changing clothes, I will take you and your students to see my master."
"Hmm," Lu Yuan agreed, still staring at the beastmaster and pet beasts on the field.
"Senior, it's useless to stare like this. You can't learn secretly."
"No, I'm just watching the whole set of movements you use during exercise." Lu Yuan shook his head.
When others train the mantis, they practice proficiency and focus on the method and process.
What Lu Yuan looked at was which muscle core was exercised during the training process.
Different parts of the muscles are exercised, and the force exerted is also different.
This is the different direction in the evolutionary path of many mantis beasts.
Details determine the direction of future evolution. As long as the mantis's foundation is well tempered and coupled with a professional directed evolution formula, the mantis can be evolved back to its ancestors and become a whirlwind mantis.
Lu Yuan recalled the "Tumbleweed Mantis" evolution paper in his mind, and a string of training data echoed in his mind, comparing it with the Cyclone Mantis.
Lu Yuan watched for about half an hour. Jiang Xue changed into new clothes and returned to him wearing the white martial arts training uniform given by the martial arts school.
