Chapter 55 Ji Zi
Chapter 55 Ji Zi
In principle, Lu Zhao should bring his talent to the Qi Sect, since the Qi Sect values special skills, which he possesses all over. However, he could also learn the Sword Sect's unique skills.
After all, his current cultivation level is not high. Even though he has reached more than 80% of the Warrior realm, the utilization rate of the super special skill "Void Wind and Long Silence" is only 5%, which is far from unleashing its true power. To reach 100% utilization, who knows how many realms he would need to cultivate.
Similarly, even if you obtain other powerful special skills, such as Xin Li's Three-Zhang Golden Body, it's unlikely you'll be able to activate them.
The Sword Sect's ultimate techniques are nothing more than powerful martial arts skills. As long as there are auxiliary special skills, Lu Zhao can bring them out to a very high level, which is at least a good way to improve combat power in the early stages.
After figuring it out, he suddenly raised his hands.
"Sword Sect is awesome!"
"This child is teachable!"
Old Ji was as happy as a child in his late twenties.
Gongsun Ke couldn't wait any longer: "Please enlighten me, sir."
He had long felt that using basic martial arts techniques like the Wind-Breaking Blade wasn't very satisfying and couldn't bring his powerful overall stats to their full potential.
Ji Ye stood up, loosened her belt, took off the long robe that was the symbol of the school official, and handed it to Bai Lu, who had come up on her own initiative.
Lu Zhao, Gongsun Ke, and Chen Qinhu, who was soaking in the tub, were all dumbfounded.
Old Ji Tou put on the long robe, and apart from being a bit taller, he was no different from an ordinary old man. Once he took off the robe, his muscles bulged all over, making his fitted training clothes look like they were about to burst. His whole style changed from the animated version of Mortal Cultivation to Baki.
Before Lu Zhao transmigrated, he saw a joke online that said Confucius, although a top lecturer, was nine feet tall and could lift the gate of the country. He won people over with virtue and beat those who disagreed.
This description became concrete before my eyes.
So Old Ji is actually... Himeko!
Click click.
Ji Ye stretched his body, and his bones crackled. This was not due to osteoporosis, but rather the sound of internal energy flowing through the meridians, acupoints, and vertebrae of a martial artist.
He was not just a scholar who could only give lectures, but a powerful martial artist with an unknown golden special skill above his head.
"These days, Xin Li has been teaching you the basic martial arts techniques used in the military. These techniques rely on physical strength, and from the perspective of the Sword Sect's academic theory, they can only be accurately called martial arts."
The key point is that even someone who hasn't studied martial arts manuals can learn martial arts, although the results will be less effective.
Lu Zhao nodded slightly involuntarily. Neither the Wind-Breaking Blade nor the Swift Steps technique required the use of meridians, just like the martial arts techniques he used before his transmigration.
However, there are some differences in martial arts for martial artists. The main difference is that some movements require a higher level of physical strength, which ordinary people cannot do.
He thought to himself, "Since Old Ji has said so, does that mean the so-called Sword Sect's ultimate technique requires the use of meridians?"
As expected, the real martial arts techniques that Ji Ye introduced next were beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"The Sword Sect's aim is not to abandon the internal energy refined through martial arts manuals, but to fix the internal energy within the meridians in order to unleash moves that surpass the limits."
Lu Zhao asked, "Can you unleash sword energy?"
Old Ji's eyes widened, turning red with anger: "Don't try to unleash some kind of sword energy all the time! That's the twisted logic of the Qi Sect. We, the Pure Blood Sword Sect, uphold the principle of every strike landing with flesh; if you're a brother, come and fight me! Don't you understand?!"
How did I become a Sword Master...?
Lu Zhao replied matter-of-factly, "Of course I don't understand, I've never studied it."
"Uh, cough. Well then, listen to me."
Ji Ye was momentarily speechless, then said, "The Sword Sect focuses on the martial arts themselves. The internal energy cultivated from the Martial Scripture is merely a tool to help us achieve our goals, not the foundation. Therefore, none of the Sword Sect's martial arts can launch sword energy. It's a different story if it incorporates special techniques."
"What I'm going to teach you today is one of the three ultimate techniques of the Sword Sect. Because it's quite difficult, it's usually only learned when you reach the Steel Bone Realm, but you have great talent, so perhaps you can give it a try."
If I can grasp even a fraction of it, and then cultivate to two or three tenths of the Iron Body Realm, then in half a month... I might have a chance of winning.
In just over ten days, to learn the ultimate technique, to break through to a higher realm, and to advance another two or three tenths of that, one can only have a slight chance of winning. Anyone else would probably give up immediately.
However, Gongsun Ke was a warmonger and eager to try, while Lu Zhao was a master of disguise and felt that he could meet all the conditions.
So, with neither of them having any objections, Ji Ye began the teaching.
He raised his hand, twisted it in the air, and a practice knife a few steps away in the corner flew into his hand.
Lu Zhao was surprised: Retrieving objects from a distance? Is that a special skill? It doesn't seem like it.
Before he could ask, Ji Ye suddenly moved, like a gust of wind, and entered the space between the two of them.
At the same time, Lu Zhao felt a tremendous sense of crisis, no less intense than when he was choked by the drunk Zhou Changsheng that night.
Bang!
He felt a jolt in his chest, and then the scene in front of him began to spin wildly until his back was pressed against the wall, at which point he realized he had been knocked away.
At this moment, the burning pain finally arrived, spreading from the center of the sternum.
Lu Zhao felt a surge of embarrassment and annoyance, but when he looked up and saw that Gongsun Ke across from him was in the same state, he immediately felt relieved.
"Was that the martial arts technique you were going to teach?"
Gongsun Ke got up and said, "It looks like the Wind-Breaking Blade."
Ji Ye nodded slightly: "Yes, but not entirely. To be precise, it was a combination of Swift Step and Wind-Breaking Blade."
Gongsun Ke seemed to be deep in thought.
Lu Zhao looked dazed.
He hadn't activated Eagle Vision or Super Vision, so he couldn't see anything clearly, neither the dynamics nor the details.
Of course, he doesn't become an idiot without special effects, so not seeing clearly is one thing, but not understanding it is not his problem.
Ji Ye's martial arts technique was extremely strange; even the genuine genius Gongsun Ke could only discern half of it.
"It's normal that you don't understand, because the martial arts techniques I used are indeed based on the Swift Steps and the Wind-Breaking Blade, but they are no longer the original forms. Instead, they have been combined into new moves by me."
Whoa!
Ji Ye put down her sword and put her robe back on.
"To integrate one's own martial arts and change them at will, evolving them into any form, is one of the three great skills of our Sword Sect, named 'One Three Thousand'."
"One represents the individual, three represents the many; endless variations and infinite transformations—this is the essence of this unique skill. Would you like to learn it?"
Lu Zhao and Gongsun Ke were both eager to fight.
"Hurry up."
Please enlighten me.
Chen Qinhu, soaking in the tub, had a long face.
"I want to learn too..."
.....
Half a day later, Chen Qinhu came out of the bucket and gave up his idea of learning the Three Thousand, because he couldn't learn it.
Looking at Lu Zhao and Gongsun Ke, who were whispering to each other in the corner of the main hall, he was filled with admiration and really wanted to know how they understood such a difficult theory.
As a martial arts prodigy, he could easily understand cultivation methods through intuition, but his "martial arts training" referred to the martial arts scriptures, not martial arts techniques.
So after listening for a while, he couldn't understand it at all, and couldn't even comprehend why martial arts techniques needed to connect meridians, acupoints, and vertebrae.
However, it was clear that Lu Zhao and Gongsun Ke understood, and they were discussing how to proceed.
"Don't worry about those things. Don't try to communicate with any Star Cavity or Meridian. Just focus on the Ren and Du Meridians. Only after your internal energy is flowing smoothly and your body and mind are in harmony can you start to do anything like the Three Thousand Transformations."
"Hmm...it feels too rudimentary."
"It's not simplistic; it's a deliberate subtraction. One is at the very beginning of the three thousand. We must find this unique starting point before change can begin," Lu Zhao said confidently.
Without special abilities, his eyesight might not be as good as Gongsun Ke's, but with his quick thinking, he's definitely more insightful than Lu Zhao.
At this moment, behind the partition of the grand master's chair, Old Ji was bent over and eavesdropping against the wall, nodding as he listened, grinning like a fool.
