Chapter 24 A little test
Chapter 24 A little test
The two sides have clear identification, the Xiao family wears blue samurai uniforms and the Chen family wears green samurai uniforms.
Although Xiao Xia had no actual combat experience, he had sharp eyes and ears, his body was as fast as lightning, and his perception of the battlefield was extremely strong. If someone attacked him from behind, he could sense it keenly and quickly dodge.
He was as agile and nimble as a leopard, and his thirteen sword techniques were incredibly powerful. The opponents were no match for him, and in the blink of an eye, he had knocked down seven green warriors.
But even a blunt sword can still hurt people, and even kill them if it hits a vital point. Xiao Xia was very sensible, and his target was the opponent's calf. He used just the right amount of force to knock the person down but not break the leg bones.
Seeing how powerful Xiao Xia was, the leader of the other warriors shouted, "Everyone, come together and surround him!"
The warrior leader and his eight men surrounded Xiao Xia. Before they could surround him, Xiao Xia squeezed out from a narrow gap between them like a ghost.
He swung the blunt sword left and right, and the two warriors behind him screamed, fell to the ground, and cried while holding their calves.
Xiao Xia turned around again and appeared behind the opponent's warrior leader. He poked his calf with a blunt sword. The warrior leader let out a wail and fell to the ground.
The other six warriors were so scared that they turned around and ran away, but none of them could escape. In just a moment, the six warriors screamed and fell to the ground one after another.
Xiao Xia was in a killing spree. He was like a cheetah rushing into a flock of sheep. Wherever he passed, the Chen family warriors fell to the ground one after another. In just one stick of incense, he had knocked down more than thirty people.
The other parties fell to the ground one after another, rolling on the ground wailing or even crying loudly.
The desire to kill gradually revived in Xiao Xia's heart. He forgot everything else and only had one word in his mind: Kill! Kill! Kill!
Xiao Xia fought more and more bravely, and only stopped killing when there was no one around.
The dock was quiet, with Chen family warriors everywhere, lying on the ground groaning in pain.
All the Xiao family warriors stood on both sides, looking at him like a monster. The remaining thirty or so Chen family warriors hid far away, terrified.
He defeated more than fifty enemies by himself.
A gust of river breeze blew, and Xiao Xia calmed down a little. He realized that he had gone a little too far. He didn't expect that he was just trying out his skills and the opponent was so weak.
What should he do now? He looked at Xiao Zhurong as if asking for help, but Xiao Zhurong rolled his eyes and ignored him.
Xiao Xia had no choice but to laugh dryly and said with a fist: "Thank you! Thank you!"
He suddenly threw away the blunt sword, turned around and ran, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
All the warriors of Xiao family looked at Xiao Zhurong. Xiao Zhurong was speechless. Is this what it means to run away when you can't win?
Liu Erhu's face turned pale. This kid hid too well. It was very likely that he was the one who killed Wu San.
Xiao Xia knocked on Zhang Jue's door directly. Zhang Jue opened the door, reeking of alcohol.
It seems like this otaku uncle has never trained any students and just stays in his room drinking all day.
"Uncle Zhang, I may have caused a little trouble."
Zhang Jue laughed dumbly, "Since you have condescended to come to me, the trouble must be big. Come in and we'll talk!"
While drinking water, Xiao Xia recounted his story of displaying his prowess at the dock.
Zhang Jue's face became more and more ugly. Finally, his face turned pale and he slammed the table heavily, "Asshole!"
Xiao Xia was stunned. Zhang Jue stood up, walked to the window with his hands behind his back, and looked out with a grim face.
After a while, Xiao Xia asked in a low voice: "Uncle Zhang, am I too flamboyant, or am I violating the rules?" Zhang Jue sighed after a while, "It's not the problem you said. It's my fault for not telling you in advance."
Zhang Jue sat down again and said slowly, "When warriors fight, the bravest always win. It was even more brutal in the past, with real swords and guns, and people often died. Last year, in a fight, the Liu family warriors killed eight Chen family warriors. It got out of hand, and the government stepped in to mediate. It stipulated that only blunt swords could be used in future fights. Except for the two leaders, other first-level and second-level warriors were not allowed to fight. You are not even a third-level warrior, and you didn't kill anyone, so of course you didn't violate the rules, but that's not the problem."
Zhang Jue knocked on the table and said, "You suddenly became sharp-eyed and sharp-sighted today, but you didn't even tell me and went straight to join the group fight. This is what annoys me!"
"Uncle Zhang, have I upgraded?"
Zhang Jue nodded, "You have indeed upgraded. Frankly speaking, if I hadn't thought that you had taken the Spring Rain Pill when you were a child, I would have been shocked, but now I'm not surprised at all. I told you last time that you would come to me soon!"
"How long does it take for the average person to level up?"
Xiao Xia talked about this and that, trying to ease Zhang Jue's anger.
This trick was indeed effective, and Zhang Jue's expression was no longer as ugly as before.
"Most martial artists never experience this kind of upgrade in their entire lives. Before you, the fastest upgrade I've ever seen took at least three years, my niece Qiao!"
Xiao Xia quickly changed the subject, "Could it be that she has also taken the Spring Rain Pill?"
Zhang Jue shook his head, "She was taking another kind of medicine, called Green Snake Pill. I also took this medicine, which was also given to me by your mother. It is a mid-range internal medicine and is not as good as Spring Rain Pill.
She practiced hard for three years before her hearing and eyesight suddenly became sharp, and I practiced for five years before I saw any effect. "
That was about it. Xiao Xia returned to the topic again. "What is this called? Is it called upgrading?"
Zhang Jue laughed, "Don't play tricks in front of me, I'm not angry, it's a good thing that you can break through."
Xiao Xia smiled shyly and said, "Okay! I will humbly ask Uncle Zhang for advice."
Zhang Jue stroked his beard and said slowly: "Upgrading is your term. I learned it from you. In martial arts, this is called internal power breaking through obstacles. There are generally two types of breakthroughs in martial arts. One is called external power breaking through the body, which is easier to understand. For example, if you are very tall, have strong bones and muscles, and are very powerful, most martial artists who take physical medicine will achieve external power breaking through at a certain time, but this kind of breaking through the body is meaningless, and at most you can only practice to the third level of martial arts.
The other is to break through obstacles with internal strength, which will manifest itself in a qualitative change in your vision, hearing, perception, endurance, speed, and even strength.
On the battlefield, with tens of thousands of people fighting together, as a general, you will definitely be the enemy's main target. Dozens of spears are stabbing at you from all sides, and hundreds of arrows are shooting at you from all directions. Think about it, how can you hide?
Ordinary people certainly can't dodge it. At this time, only if you have superior perception can you seize every opportunity to survive. I believe you have experienced this today."
Xiao Xia nodded. "I could feel someone attacking me from behind. Nine people were surrounding me, but I was able to quickly find a gap between them and slip out through a crack. I didn't expect that."
"Yes! This is the super perception ability of the inner strength to break through obstacles. Although your perception ability is still relatively weak, its appearance means that you have surpassed most martial artists. Among the more than 300 warriors of the Xiao family in Jiangdu, only one person has achieved the breakthrough, and he is only a half-baked one."
"Who?"
"Second Master Xiao Hu, Xiao Jiandu's father!"
Zhang Jue sighed and said, "In fact, this kind of internal strength breakthrough can only be achieved by very few martial artists. The key is that he must have both talent and medicine.
Basically, all martial arts families have internal strength medicine, but most people fail to break through barriers after taking it, and can only reach the fourth level at most. One reason is that the medicine is not good, and more importantly, the talent is not enough. Good medicine and talent are both indispensable. "
Xiao Xia pondered for a moment and asked, "What is the status of the fourth rank? Also, what does Xiao Hu mean by half-baked?"
