"In this case, killing that big bear will give you more confidence." Xun Xie said to himself.
In fact, there are three feasible ways to kill a big bear:
First, the old human ingenuity and trickery
Second, stop time with the Grand Prize and kill it.
Third, use invisibility and toy it to death.
Xun Xie had thought about learning some peerless martial skill and using it to kill the bear after fully comprehending it with the Great Clarity prize but one he was probably too weak to execute it and two, this countryside town didn’t have such luxurious martial arts. The style of martial arts in this world was also different from the tales he was used to in the past. But by their very nature special moves definitely existed, but they likely were exclusive to matching martial art unfortunately so picking up several and learning them was unlikely.
The 10 Seconds Robbery plug-in is more suitable for short-range assassination, whether it is killing a person or killing a bear, bullying the opponent and teaching them a lesson, and quickly completing the attack within ten seconds, either death or injury, it is too easy.
Invisibility was even more perverted, after several inadvertent tests on Old Man Hu, even he couldn’t see or sense him when invisible! It had to be known he hadn’t even started practicing yet and Old Hu was definitely a great master, yet he was able to escape his senses. It would require further testing to see how big of a gap between levels was tolerated or if there was no limit, this was a long-term goal however, Old Hu was among the strongest here after all.
All four cheats at their peak potential could be described in one word, broken.
The next day.
Xun Xie worked hard to cultivate his moves, but his progress was still slow.
For some actions, he clearly knew how to do it, but when he actually did it, he couldn't do it right.
For example, when the fingers make a claw and do the fourth change, he should smoothly transfer to the fifth change but the differences of the fourth and fifth changes were too drastic and not easy to immediately and seamlessly shift between the two. He should slow down and make a mental map of the fifth change then reflexively complete them after finishing the fourth.
Although he knows these essentials, it is not easy to do them. How to match the movements based on his fingers and body was quite difficult to grasp, and he always makes mistakes when trying to shift between those movements.
Not to mention, the essentials that he didn't remember. Like the subtleties of the sixth and seventh change.
"Senior brother, how long did it take you to practice your moves?" Xun Xie asked Yun Shan.
"Are you talking about the four moves on the first floor of the Ruling Spirit? I'm slow. I learned with Old Man Hu for three days, but I didn't even remember a single move. Later, I practiced with other brothers and sisters. After practicing for two months, still I didn't know the essentials, and finally, I had to raise some money and ask Mr. Hu to teach me again for three days, and then I learned it." Yun Shan recalled.
Xun Xie was speechless for a while.
Dare say, Old man Hu is a master at scouring wool. A true profiteer.
"What about the others?" Xun Xie asked.
"Those who learn fast, some people learn it in twelve days and a half month, and there are those who learn slowly, it is normal to spend four or six months, and it even takes two or three years to learn. I have also encountered them." Yun Shansune replied.
Xun Xie was thoughtful.
If it doesn't work out, he has to pay Old Man Hu's tuition a second time.
Three days later, good days have come.
Early this morning, when Xun Xie, who lived in the Song mansion, woke up, the first thing he did was spin the wheel.
Ha!
Great Clarity obtained! Ten times critical no less!
Xun Xie quickly felt himself transform into a martial arts wizard.
Xun Xie got up and got dressed and practiced in the yard without washing his face.
The first floor of the ruling spirit skill (fragment) +10
The first floor of the ruling spirit skill (fragment) +10
The first floor of the ruling spirit skill (fragment) +10
Oh, it can tell it's a fragment? Xun Xie was surprised and further cemented the thought that he had to get the fifth move to complete it.
…
Everything seemed to come naturally, and Xun Xie naturally grasped the essentials of his movements. His physical talent was super powerful, and he could make every continuous or paused movement just right.
Xun Xie practiced it three times in a row, and the essentials of the movements that he memorized can be basically restored.
At this time, his stomach was also hungry, so Xun Xie hurried to eat breakfast.
Afterward, he excitedly came to the Hu residence.
Soon.
When everyone has arrived, they will practice in the yard.
Xun Xie was in high spirits and carefully observed the movements of the first four senior brothers and sister. By comparison, he found that Sun Bin did the most standard and standardized, and it was almost the same as Old Man Hu's demonstration.
So, he followed Sun Bin's movements to imitate and practiced, and he really learned a lot and made great progress.
After the drill, Xun Xie found Old Man Hu and gave away 2 taels of silver: "Elder Hu, this is the salary that this disciple got from Mr. Song, and I give it to you to thank you for your recommendation."
"Well, you're a sensible kid." Old Man Hu's eyes lit up, and he accepted it with a smile.
Xun Xie said, "This disciple is not good at learning, so I urge Mr. Hu to teach you the first level of "Ruling Spirit" again."
If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.
"Yes, but I only teach you for half a day. You can learn as much as you can." Old Man Hu agreed without any surprises. The three days were out of duty and responsibility, this half a day was just wool cough, charity, a show of kindness.
The two entered the main hall again.
Old Man Hu practiced without saying a word. After practicing once, he split it up again, explained each move one by one, and demonstrated each movement slowly.
But at this moment, Xun Xie will never forget!
It was as if he gained photographic memory suddenly and he had a computer for a brain, every movement of Old Man Hu was seen in his eyes, copied down, and deeply imprinted in his mind.
Unexpectedly, he only read it once and then remembered it all, so that Old Man Hu didn't even need to explain them one by one.
That is to say, Xun Xie, who has been blessed with Great Clarity, just needs to watch the moves performed by others, and he will learn them in an instant, and he can do it. The degree of mastery is not inferior to that of the opponent. The point of perfection.
Such a terrifying comprehension is simply incredible. This martial arts wizard was still inferior to thousand critical xie and ten thousand critical xie, those xies were in the realm of innovating and finding the optimal route for his body, it was even possible to create new moves! Instead of wizard, the word sage was more appropriate for their level of pervertedness.
A morning passed quickly, and Xun Xie left Hu Mansion directly, had lunch outside, and then returned to Song Mansion, where he practiced moves alone in the small courtyard where he lived.
Sure enough, he quickly mastered all the essentials of the movements and performed them in one go. After practicing several times in a row, he was able to perfectly perform the four moves on the first floor of the Ruling Spirit.
If the full score is 10 points, Sun Bin can get 9.1 points, Old Man Hu can get 9.6 points, but Xun Xie can get a perfect score of 10 points.
No one is perfect in the world. It is extremely difficult, even impossible, to be perfect. Only extremely rare conditions could allow for perfection and even then it was one or a very few related things, but Xun Xie could strive for perfection in many things!
"That's great, I learned it in a day." Xun Xie was so excited that he wanted to go to Old Man Hu immediately and start the next step of study.
"Don't be in a hurry, wait half a month before going, don't be too dazzling." Xun Xie took a deep breath, calmed down, and suppressed the impulse in his heart.
In the days that followed, Xun Xie lived a very relaxed and comfortable life. Every day he was either playing with stone locks to train his strength or practicing calligraphy and reading.
In addition to learning the fonts of Master calligraphers, he developed a new hobby, painting.
Because he listened to Mr. Song's mention, he felt that in the world this was becoming more and more popular, and it was popular in the world to paint nudes for women, and many of the masters of pictures he knew had fallen into depravity.
Hearing this, Xun Xie's mind immediately moved. He wanted to fall too.
Half a month passed in a blink of an eye.
On this day, Xun Xie found Old Man Hu and said that he had mastered his moves.
"You, you've mastered it?" Old Man Hu was obviously a little surprised. According to Xun Xie's performance, he had to practice hard for two months to completely master the four moves.
"Okay, you can show me the practice." Old Man Hu's expression softened, and he sat upright.
Xun Xie immediately rehearsed, moving smoothly.
When Old Man Hu saw it, he nodded again and again: "Yes, I have really mastered it. It seems that your understanding is not bad, and you have a bit of talent."
“Can I learn the fifth move as you promised then?” Xun Xie beamed, it actually was a few days short of a month, he came in advance because he had won Great Clarity and even become a thousand critical xie! He couldn’t miss the opportunity so he came immediately!
“The fifth move is too profound, to be honest even I haven’t mastered it so I can’t teach you. It touches the aspect of the soul and we are too far away from things of that nature.” Old man Hu stroked his beard and glanced at Xun Xie.
Seeing his crestfallen appearance and grudging eyes saying ‘you clearly promised’.
“Fine fine, here is a scroll depicting it, don’t have too much hope though.” He tossed a worn-out animal scroll to Xun Xie who caught it high spirits.
“Remember not to lose yourself in it, it’s best to study it and return it to me after a day or so, many masters of the lineage have attempted to recreate the glory of the school by mastering the fifth move which is the essence of the first floor of Ruling Spirit but they all failed, my own teacher said the last arrogance to complete it in truth was over 1000 years ago. The other one after him 300 years ago had a fortuitous encounter and managed to vaguely grasp it. Even at our peak, it was difficult with special means. So don’t be obsessed. Understand?” Old man Hu said with stern eyes.
“Our lineage is so old?” Xun Xie asked astonished. 1000 years and that was likely just a fraction!
“Of course, we are true martial arts lineage passed from ancient times.” Old man Hu said proudly, before warning him again.
As thousand critical xie, what was a mere basic first floor move, so what if it stumped many geniuses in a 1000 years, were they better than the great martial arts sage, thousand critical xie!
Xun Xie was noncommitant to the warnings and couldn’t wait to go home and try it but before that.
He expressed agreement to the warnings and put away the scroll getting to the matter at hand.
Xun Xie smiled happily, "Can this disciple start the next step?"
Old Man Hu nodded, turned, and walked to the cabinet, took down a closed jar, lifted the lid, and took out a "wax ball" from it, the size of a glutinous rice ball.
"This is the secret medicine specially refined by the Five Tigers Gate. From today onwards, you will ask me to pick up a secret medicine every day and eat it. After eating it, your body will feel hot and sometimes your emotions will become abnormally irritable, which is a normal phenomenon. You just need to remember one thing, after taking the secret medicine, immediately practice four moves to refine and absorb the power of the medicine." Old Man Hu urged.
"Eating this secret medicine and practicing four more moves can alienate blood?" Xun Xie raised his eyebrows.
"That's natural." Old Man Hu nodded, "The cost of preparing this kind of secret medicine is very high. You pay five taels per month, which is actually used to buy the secret medicine."
Xun Xie understood, took the wax pill, and swallowed it without much hesitation.
The wax pellets melt in your mouth.
First of all, the sweetness of honey came out, flipping and jumping on the tip of the tongue, but what followed was a monster, something was sealed in the wax pill, it was bitter, astringent, and a little fishy. The sweet again and then tasteless like water then sour.
Xun Xie held back and did not spit it out.
Swallow!
The wax pill entered the stomach along the throat, and sure enough, just as Old Man Hu said, a strange dry heat burst in the stomach and spread to the limbs and bones.
Xun Xie instantly sweated profusely, and his skin became red like a cooked prawn.
He took a deep breath and immediately practiced four moves.
After practicing once, the dryness and heat subsided a little, then practiced the second and third times.
With the passage of time, Xun Xie's body heat finally subsided, and his skin was no longer red and hot.
At this time, a strange hunger strikes.
Xun Xie suddenly wanted to eat.
Old Man Hu had expected it long ago and instructed the maid to bring an oiled paper bag, which contained a tael of exotic animal meat.
Xun Xie couldn't see what kind of animal meat it was. He was so hungry that he ate it no matter what.
The taste is surprisingly fragrant, there is not much oil, but it is not dry wood for lean meat.
All in all, it was indescribably delicious.
Old Man Hu smiled and said, "Eating these two taels of the exotic beast meat, you probably won't be able to digest it all today, so you don't need to eat lunch or dinner."
Xun Xie touched his stomach, it was true.
He was silent for a while and asked, "Mr. Hu, how long does it usually take for the blood to be alienated?"
Old Man Hu twitched his beard and said slowly: "This varies from person to person. It can take a hundred days as fast as it can take ten years or even longer. It's not me who scares you, there are people who can't alienate their blood in their entire lives. Look at me. In the yard, there are so many people who come to learn martial arts, but in the end, very few of them become bloody."
Xun Xie was thoughtful.
I feel that Old Man Hu should be telling the truth this time.
Old Hu paused and said, "I'll give you another word. The secret medicine of this sect is best when swallowed for the first time, and then the effect gradually decreases. If you can't alienate your blood after taking it for three consecutive years, hurry and give up on martial arts. Of course, if you still don't want to give up at that time, you can learn from another group, for example, try it with the other three teachers."
Xun Xie didn't expect Old Man Hu to be able to say these words, which gave him a newfound respect for the old man.
Old Man Hu thought for a while and then added, "Oh yes, I have the exotic animal meat here, and the price is clearly marked for one tael of silver and one tael of exotic animal meat. Of course, there are also people who sell exotic animal meat outside, and they are very cheap. There are also good.
I just remind you that no matter what kind of animal meat you eat, it must be cooked before you eat it. It is absolutely not allowed to eat it raw. Any rare, medium or medium-rare, non-cooked or partially cooked meat should not be eaten at all. It must be fully cooked, remember? "
Xun Xie hastily said that he only buys old man Hu's meat to eat.
