As time goes by, the day of the big exam is getting closer.
During this period of more than a month, Lin Shengsheng did not relax for a moment. He practiced the soul stepping step over and over again every day. At the same time, he used the spirit beads and the Qi Entrainment Technique in the "Body Strengthening and Tendon Changing Technique" to consolidate it over and over again. Cultivation in order to achieve breakthroughs.
In his spare time, he used it to practice some chosen martial arts skills to prepare for the big exam.
Under such high-intensity training, even if Lin Shengsheng has entered the preliminary stage of blood tempering, his physical fitness is not that of ordinary people. At the end of daily training, his whole body is sore and he is mentally exhausted.
But the good thing is that Lin Yansheng's cultivation level has also steadily increased with this intensity of training - three days ago, he successfully entered the ninth level of body training and completed the tasks set by Qing Yu for him. Basic goals.
In the forest clearing——
Whoosh——
Pieces of small pieces of wood tore through the air and quickly hit Lin Shengsheng in the center of the forest.
However, Lin Shengsheng turned his steps lightly and swung his body in the forest with a series of dazzling movements. The range of his movements was not very large, but during the changes, the pieces came one after another. All the wooden blocks were avoided.
After dodging the wooden block, Lin Yansheng kept moving, his figure flashing on the spot, and after completing the thirty-six soul-stepping steps, he slowly stopped.
"Yes, your Soul Step has now reached the realm of 'Xuan Step'."
Behind him, Qing Yu looked at Lin Yansheng's skillful movements and nodded.
Being able to master the thirty-six basic steps of the Soul Step and apply them in actual combat is the realm of "Xuanbu".
This can be regarded as the basic level for practicing the soul-stepping step in the future. After all, if you don't even master the basic footwork, why study it in depth?
"But do you understand anything about the charm I mentioned earlier?" Qing Yu asked with a smile.
"Shen Yun...it feels a little bit worse."
Lin Yansheng frowned and shook his head helplessly. According to their plan, he should first master the Soul Step, and then gradually understand its charm through repeated exercises.
Facts have proved that this method is indeed effective. After more than a month of training, Lin Shengsheng already feels that he has touched the deep meaning, but he is still so far away from the final step that he can never truly comprehend it.
"I feel...it still lacks a bit of training intensity."
After thinking for a moment, Lin Yansheng said hesitantly - the hazy feelings he had before were all experienced when his body was at its limit under high-intensity training.
"Oh? Feeling a little worse?"
Qingyu looked at Lin Yansheng with a smile: "You feel really good."
Hearing this, Lin Yansheng felt happy, but before he could say anything, Qingyu's voice continued: "You are indeed, lacking some practical skills!"
"Lack of actual combat?"
Lin Yansheng was stunned at first, but then nodded in agreement.
Although he has now reached the ninth level of physical training, and his physical fitness is far superior to Tongji, he does still have a fatal flaw, that is, he has too little actual combat experience.
You must know that most of the other candidates in this exam have been practicing martial arts for several years and have experienced a lot of actual combat. Some have even had the opportunity to fight ferocious beasts. After accumulating in this way, the actual combat experience is naturally extraordinary.
On the other hand, Lin Shengsheng had only practiced martial arts for two or three months, and he didn't know much about fighting skills. He had only experienced actual combat once - if you don't count the days when Qingyu abused him.
Now, Qingyu said this, obviously she wanted to spar with him!
Lin Yansheng was eager to try this. He had just broken through the ninth level of body training and was in high spirits. He also wanted to have a good fight to test his strength!
"Master, are you suppressing your realm?"
However, before the fight, Lin Shengsheng confirmed this problem first. If Qingyu uses the cultivation level of Blood Tempering Realm, then there is no need to play.
"Well, I won't bully you either. I will reach the eighth level of body training to fight you." Qingyu said with a smile.
good!
Lin Yansheng nodded excitedly, stood up straight, and couldn't help waving to Qingyu, saying "Come here"!
However... before he could say anything, the clear rain in his field of vision disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, Qingyu appeared in front of him. Lin Yansheng's eyes only felt blurry, and then he felt as if his chest was hit by a heavy hammer, and a huge force burst out.
"Peng!"
With a loud bang, Lin Yansheng's body flew out and fell heavily onto a big tree, directly breaking the big tree in the middle!
"Ahem... Master, you..."
Lin Yansheng struggled to get up from the smoke. When the palm came down, he felt that his bones were almost deformed. Everything above his lower abdomen hurt. Qingyu's hand was too cruel!
Qingyu lowered his head and glanced at Lin Yansheng, and said calmly: "Do you think I am playing with you? You are too careless. When facing me, you actually dare to be distracted and pretend to be cool?"
"With your current fighting spirit, how can you fight with others?"
After being scolded by Qing Yu, Lin Yansheng gritted his teeth and did not refute, because every word Qing Yu said was true!
Breathing softly, he immediately adjusted his mentality. According to Qingyu's teaching, he leaned forward and raised his hands to protect his chest. At the same time, he stared at Qingyu unblinkingly, paying attention to his every move. action.
"This looks pretty cool."
Seeing Lin Yansheng adjusted his condition so quickly and with a bright look in his eyes, Qingyu nodded with satisfaction, and then he took action again!
quick!
Even though he didn't use any martial arts, even though his cultivation had reached the eighth level of body forging, Qingyu's speed was still as fast as the wind!
However, Lin Yansheng was all focused on Qingyu after all, so even though Qingyu was so fast, he still barely caught Qingyu's movements!
But just because you can see it, doesn't mean you can avoid it.
Sometimes, people's movements cannot keep up with their brains. At Qingyu's speed, Lin Shengsheng was only halfway forward before Qingyu's punch arrived!
In desperation, Lin Yansheng had no choice but to hold his fists against his chest, pour all his energy into his arms, and punch hard.
boom!
There was another dull sound, and Lin Shengsheng's body was undoubtedly blasted out again, leaving a long mark on the grass.
Damn it! How could it be so strong?
Lin Yansheng, who finally managed to stabilize his body, gasped violently, his eyes filled with disbelief.
There is no doubt about his cultivation level. With the ninth level of body training, plus several blessings from preliminary blood tempering, in terms of physical strength, he is actually no worse than Zhang Junxi's tenth level of body training, and even exceeds it in some places. Nothing less.
And Qingyu's cultivation level has been suppressed to the eighth level of body forging, facing hard steel, how could he be so miserable?
Lin Yansheng knew very well that the first time he was considered careless, but the second time he had already used a defensive posture and was not careless at all. How could he be beaten like this?
Qingyu stepped closer, seeming to see Lin Shengsheng's doubts, and said lightly: "Are you a little curious about why your strength is so weak?"
"It's very simple. The realm of physical training is only calculated based on the number of physical trainings, that is, the number of times of energy quenching. If you train your body once, it is the first level of physical training, and twice is the second level."
"But everyone's degree of physical training is different. The depth of energy quenching is different, and the strength is naturally different. Just like your physical body after the initial blood quenching is in the same realm, it is far superior to others."
Qingyu's explanation made Lin Yansheng slightly aware that indeed, everyone's physical training effect would be slightly different due to various reasons.
Just like his preliminary blood tempering, it is equivalent to giving him several more levels of body tempering. This is just because he started preliminary blood tempering at the seventh level of body tempering. If someone can reach the fifth or sixth level of body tempering, even The second and third levels have begun to temper their blood, so their strength will undoubtedly surpass him!
"I understand, Master...continue!"
Lin Yansheng gritted his teeth and said, he knew that he might be a little miserable today.
"good!"
Peng!
There was another explosion, and Lin Shengsheng's body was overturned again as expected, crushing countless branches and leaves.
"If you block it from the front, you can't stop it!"
This collision finally allowed Lin Yansheng to confirm the fact that in a head-on collision, he would definitely lose!
Moreover... hard resistance probably wasn't Qingyu's original intention of sparring with him.
Sure enough, Qingyu's voice came slowly: "I'm not fighting with you to train your resistance."
"Think about it carefully. The opponent is too fast. How are you going to avoid it?"
Having said that, Qingyu stopped attacking and seemed to leave Lin Yansheng some time to think.
How to avoid it?
Finally having a chance to breathe, Lin Yansheng's mind was racing, thinking about how to avoid the next round of attacks.
Qingyu's attack speed was too fast, and every time he would arrive before his evasive action was completed.
Just like if he throws his arm out halfway, Qingyu's punch will arrive...
etc!
Throw your arms away? Throw them all away?
Lin Yansheng's eyes paused, and an idea flashed in his mind.
By the way, maybe...I can avoid it without completely throwing my arms away?
If one person hits another person, if the person being hit retreats directly, he will be able to completely dodge if the speed is enough.
But in fact, many times, you don't need to retreat all the way, just turn sideways.
If a person wants to make full body movements, there must be an acceleration process, but if it is only a partial body movement, then the acceleration process will be much faster.
Control yourself, control yourself... Is this how you control your body?
After thinking about this, Lin Yansheng suddenly felt like he had an enlightenment.
"Tsk!"
"H-ha-come on!"
After thinking for a long time, Lin Yansheng leaned forward, his eyes returned to determination, and he shouted sharply.
"Ah."
Seeing Lin Yansheng like this, Qingyu smiled slightly and slowly bent his right arm. At the same time, his body turned slightly to the right, and his arms and robes danced in the wind.
This can be considered the hands-on information given by Qingyu.
Lin Yansheng's eyes were always locked on Qing Yu, watching his every move. When he saw this action, Lin Yansheng immediately stepped back slightly with his left foot and retracted his arms at the same time.
Whoosh——
The next moment, the clear rain moved, as fast as the wind and as fast as lightning!
In just a blink of an eye, Qingyu arrived in front of Lin Yansheng and punched Lin Yansheng's left shoulder.
However, facing Qingyu like this, Lin Yansheng felt that his brain was particularly clear, and a strange feeling suddenly came to his heart. At this moment, he felt that every movement of Qingyu's body became clear in his eyes. Quite a few.
He could even see that Qingyu's blow was actually not a punch, but a grab!
"flash!"
Lin Yansheng instantly turned to the left, turning his shoulder back almost against Qingyu's fist. At the same time, he swung out his right hand fiercely, directly piercing the air, and pressed hard towards Qingyu's fist!
The surge of vitality caused Lin Sheng's entire palm to be covered with a hazy shimmer of vitality, which was the "Qi-drawing fist" in the body-building Yijin technique.
Since Qingyu's fists couldn't resist him, Lin Shengsheng hit him from the side to avoid his sharp edge!
"oh?"
Seeing his punch being pressed down, Qingyu was slightly startled, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
boom--
Qingyu's fist was pressed down, but the forward force also caused Lin Shengsheng's body to tilt violently, and his upper body turned sideways.
"rise!"
However, Lin Shengsheng's waist strength has become extremely tough after three months of training. He gritted his teeth and twisted his waist. His twisted spine suddenly stiffened like a spring. Then, a huge force erupted from it like a volcano, making him His upper body stiffened momentarily, and then rebounded violently.
The dragon swings its tail! Entrain the air and punch!
It's not polite to reciprocate. Lin Shensen has been beaten for so long, how could he miss this opportunity to fight back?
Using the elasticity of his waist, Lin Yansheng flew out his right fist and hit Qingyu's head straight.
And Qingyu happened to be in the state of charging forward. With this punch, there was no way to avoid it!
"Hit! Give me a hit!"
Lin Yansheng shouted in his heart and looked excitedly at his fast fist hitting Qingyu in the head!
boom!
The next moment, a dull crashing sound erupted, and an irresistible force burst out from the collision, sweeping Lin Yansheng away several feet.
"Ouch! What a fool you are!"
Lin Yansheng was thrown to his buttocks and sat on the ground shouting angrily.
To be able to knock him away with a full blow with his forehead, without even thinking about it, Qingyu must have used a higher level of cultivation!
"Who told you to be so cruel?"
Qingyu combed her hair that was slightly messed up by the strong wind with her hands, and said angrily.
But despite saying this, Qingyu still had a smile in his eyes, apparently satisfied with the latter's counterattack just now.
That punch just now, he used his realm to overwhelm people, so it was no problem, but if it were a warrior at the tenth level of the body forging realm, he would probably faint or even die on the spot, right?
"Speaking of which, did you feel something?"
Qingyu asked with a smile. If he could dodge the punch and counterattack, Lin Yansheng would probably understand.
"Well, the 'controlling oneself' of Soul Step should refer to the perfect control over every inch of one's body, right?"
Lin Yansheng said hesitantly. In the punch just now, he suddenly had a strange feeling. It seemed that when the clear rain hit him, his whole body muscles and even every part of the forest were conveying a message to him. Danger signals, and because of these, he was able to counterattack smoothly.
"Um...that's right!"
The smile on Qingyu's face became even stronger: "Stepping on the soul, stepping on the soul, means only using footwork to deceive people, but before deceiving others, you must first ensure that you are not deceived. If you do this step, you can also It’s about controlling yourself.”
"If you don't control yourself first, how can you mess with your soul?"
Qingyu suddenly smiled: "This also prevents you from tripping over your own steps."
"It's good that you can think of this step by yourself."
Hearing Qingyu's praise, Lin Yansheng scratched his head shyly, was he that powerful?
"But don't be complacent. You have just barely reached the threshold of 'controlling yourself'." Qingyu warned in time.
"At the end of this self-control, you can actually use every corner and every muscle of your body to sense the opponent's 'power', so as to achieve a prophetic state. You should have understood this just now."
"But you haven't completely controlled yourself yet. You need to train more. Everything is difficult at the beginning. Now that you have made a good start, try to master this skill of controlling yourself before the big exam."
"Hey, don't worry, Master!"
Lin Yansheng naturally nodded repeatedly. He now understood that the 'Xuanbu' state before the Soul Step only allowed him to barely understand the "form" of the Soul Step. However, in fighting, many times he did not need to really Relying on the original movements of this "Xuan Bu", sometimes, a tiny movement can be better than the thunderous momentum!
"Okay, this is the end of the special training on Soul Step..."
But while Lin Yansheng was deep in thought, Qingyu suddenly said softly.
"Well?"
Lin Yansheng was stunned and opened his mouth to say something, but Qingyu spoke earlier.
"In half a month, I will teach you how to practice!"
