When!

When!

The stone wheel stopped at the colorless cloak symbol. The smaller auxiliary wheel stopped on 10.

Xun Xie calmly opened his eyes, opened the door, left Song Mansion in the morning light, and went to Hu Mansion.

Da da da……

Xun Xie rode a donkey on the road.

The donkey was well fed by him, fat and strong, with shiny donkey hair.

Moreover, this donkey is quite human, and he is becoming more and more intimate with him, so he has the right to be kept as a pet.

Unknowingly, he arrived at the Hu residence.

Xun Xie started his day's practice step by step.

First, warm up, exercise muscles and bones, then buy six taels of exotic animal meat to eat, and then practice the second level of ruling-spirit skills.

When it was almost three poles in the morning, Old Man Hu yawned and stretched before showing up.

Xun Xie was not in a hurry to find him.

According to his daily habits, the old man has to eat some breakfast to keep his spirits up, and maybe even take a nap.

Xun Xie kind of envied the way he was spending his old age.

Xun Xie walked to the south corner and played with stone locks to train his strength.

At this time, he has been able to lift a five-hundred-pound stone lock. His progress has been rapid and great, beyond imagination.

Of course, this has something to do with the blood energy attribute acquired from the practice of ruling spirit but to only a small degree that would be standard for non power attribute blood energy.

About an hour passed.

Xun Xie put down the stone locks and was sweating profusely, but his body was not tired, his muscles were not sore, instead, he felt an indescribably smooth and comfortable feeling.

Then, he went to the sideyard.

After taking a short rest, he began to practice the series of explosive claw attacks by himself, pursuing claws at a faster speed and clawing with greater power.

Stop and rest when you are tired.

After resting, practice footwork again, improve explosiveness, and become faster, more dexterous, and more agile.

In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon.

Old Man Hu walked into the sideyard with his hands behind his back, glanced at Xun Xie, and asked sleepily, "Do you still have the strength?"

Xun Xie said, "No problem."

Old Man Hu nodded, his eyes suddenly focused, and his expression became solemn: "Well, I'll teach you self-defense techniques."

Xun Xie shook his head and listened in spirit.

Old Man Hu said slowly:

"The so-called self-defense, as the name implies, is to prevent the enemy from hitting you, or if they hit you, you can bear it.

There are two methods to protect yourself:

First, use footwork to dodge, if the enemy can't hit you, you will win half the battle;

Second, resist strongly. No matter what martial arts the enemy uses, as long as you can't break your defense, everything will be in vain.

Third, when you can’t avoid, reduce the damage as much as possible

Fourth and most importantly…"

Xun Xie's mind quickly became active, listening with anticipation.

“Kill all those who are hostile to you and no one will be able to kill you.” Old man Hu stated.

Xun Xie “…”

Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.

What rubbish was that?

Although it’s technically not wrong…

He quickly ignored the old man’s nonsense and prepared himself.

Footwork, he has practiced quite well.

So what he has to learn today is naturally how to resist beatings.

Old Man Hu stood with his hands behind his back, looked at Xun Xie, and said, "Xiao Xun, punched me."

Xun Xie took a deep breath, and stepped forward, a faint white light flickered on his fist moving with his tiger-roaring posture, and he punched Old Man Hu's stomach.

Bang!

The punch was solid.

But immediately, old man Hu's body burst out with blood, and the snot-like thick blood energy covered his stomach also perhaps it was better to describe it as mercury to be more elegant.

Xun Xie only felt that his fist was hitting the steel plate, and a counter-shock force poured in. The fist bounced back, and even his body was bounced up. His feet were almost off the ground, and he stumbled three times. Four steps to stabilize from staggering.

"Did you feel it? This is self-defense."

Old Man Hu pointed to his stomach, "I predicted that you would attack my stomach, and then gather a part of the blood energy to the stomach, your punching energy did not penetrate my body-protecting blood energy, this punch would not cause any damage, Instead, you were shocked by my blood energy."

Xun Xie was thoughtful: "Mr. Hu meant that in order to defend yourself well, you must predict the part of the enemy's attack, and then gather blood energy to defend that part in advance, right?"

Old Man Hu nodded: "That's right. Below the third level of blood energy, the blood energy is not enough to cover the whole body, so it is impossible to protect the whole body, so we can only concentrate the blood energy to protect specific parts.

But even if you are at the third level of blood energy, it is not wise to spread the blood energy to protect your whole body when you are fighting with an enemy of the same rank or an enemy stronger than you. "

Xun Xie understood.

There is only so much blood energy in a person. In battle, punching and attacking will consume blood energy, performing footwork will also consume blood energy, and self-defense will also consume blood energy.

In this way, it is very important to reduce the consumption of blood energy as much as possible.

With self-defense, it is undoubtedly a smart and labor-saving way to concentrate blood energy on the part being attacked.

Old man Hu taught Xun Xie the keys to self-defense tips. Xun Xie had the foundation in the early stage and quickly learned to get started.

"Next, I will attack you, and you will defend." Old Man Hu tapped Xun Xie a few times, "I will attack your left shoulder, right shoulder, chest, stomach, and forehead and back at will. Fixed point attack practice, let's get started."

Xun Xie suddenly focused his attention.

Suddenly, the old man sprinted in front of him and punched him. The punch was very fast and erratic.

"Left shoulder!" Xun Xie made a pre-judgment and immediately gathered his blood energy towards his left shoulder.

But in the end, Old Hu shook his fist, which turned out to be a fake, and turned to Xun Xie's stomach.

Bang!

Xun Xie was punched, fortunately, Old Man Hu didn't really push hard, just a little pain.

"If I were the one who wanted to kill you, you would have already died just now." Old Man Hu shouted solemnly, "Come again."

The next punch is coming!

Xun Xie went all out to deal with it.

In the evening, Xun Xie limped away from the Hu residence with bruises all over his body, which was a miserable experience.

"Xiao Xun, what's the matter, was beaten by Mr. Hu?" Yun Shan and the others came over.

Xun Xie just smiled: "It's okay, I'm practicing self-defense."

"Then you have to be careful."

Yun Shan's expression changed and he sighed, "Old Hu will not be merciful when he hits people, it will only become more and more ruthless. Brother Sun Bin was also beaten by Mr. Hu, and he can't stand it for a month. Di Renjie also lasted for two months, Si Luoyan lasted the longest, two and a half months, and finally was punched by Hu Lao and vomited blood."

Xun Xie felt a chill in his heart. Isn't this killing people?

Didn’t realize, Old Man Hu actually likes violence!

Xun Xie did some mischief before his plug-in expired then went home at peace.

The next day, Old Man Hu was in a particularly good spirit. In the morning, he called Xun Xie to the side yard and started a round of punching and kicking.

Sure enough, Old Man Hu shot harder, causing Xun Xie to fall over and over again.

Continue the next day!

However, on this day, Xun Xie won Great Clarity at double critical, his luck wasn’t bad these days. When Mr. Hu attacked, the blood energy was flowing on the surface of the body, observe the flow of blood energy. There are signs, you can predict his attack position in advance. Xun Xie instantly grasped the trick with his previous hours of beating.

Next, Old Man Hu was blocked by Xun Xie for more than ten consecutive attacks.

"Oh, yes, you finally discovered the mystery of the flow of blood." Old Man Hu showed admiration. It was not bad that he discovered this after only three days of practice. The average was two weeks.

"So, what about now?"

The next moment, Old Man Hu showed a sinister smile on his face, and the blood flow in his body became irregular, just like the surface of a lake on a rainy day, chaotic.

"Blood energy can be manipulated at will." Old Man Hu punched him, and Xun Xie received a solid punch and was knocked to the ground.

He got up and said solemnly, "Come again."

Old Man Hu smiled wickedly and attacked with an unceremonious round of fists.

Xun Xie fell down again and again, got up again and again, and gradually realized what the real secret of self-defense was.

Suppose you're a sprinter, getting ready at the starting line, and when the gunfire goes off, you start running.

The gap between the time the gun sounds and when you start running is called the reaction time.

The more reaction time you have, the sooner you start.

Generally speaking, the fastest reaction time of normal people is about 0.2 seconds.

What Xun Xie needs to practice was actually reaction time.

No matter how the enemy attacks, when the attack comes, you must gather blood energy in a very short reaction time to form a defense.

The reaction time may only be a moment.

So you have to react fast!

Old Man Hu kept attacking Xun Xie, and he was training his reaction time. One beat slow and fast might decide success or failure, even life and death!

The pain inflicted was only a plus, he was really doing serious business teaching honestly.

As the evening approached Old Man Hu’s attack shifted from normal to irregular at a chaotic pace, sometimes with feet, sometimes with hands, headbutts. Xun Xie had to expect the unexpected and watch his muscle twitches but at just a double critical state he was bound to suffer a lot.

The sound of flesh-on-flesh impact was like stone and wood and echoed throughout the yard.
