Chapter 128: Using force to make friends
He immediately took the Xiuchun Knife and left the house.

Ignoring the surprised looks along the way, when I arrived at the park, it was just evening and there were a few people around. The square was full of people walking and dancing in the square.

Xiao Jie did not stop, but walked straight across the square, went around to the small path next to it, and walked towards the back mountain. After walking along the winding mountain road for a distance, the number of people gradually decreased.

Looking at the one or two pedestrians passing by occasionally, Xiao Jie thought that it would not be okay, there were still a little too many people.

The sword technique is okay. Even if someone sees it, it will at most be considered some kind of martial arts routine. If you don't inject internal force, you can't tell any difference from ordinary sword techniques.

But I also want to practice Qinggong, which is somewhat shocking.

Although according to the provisions of the Player Management Act, the authorities do not prohibit players from showing their strength in public as long as a reasonable explanation can be given, he still wants to keep a low profile now. It is better not to be seen if possible.

So he continued walking forward, and a path in front of him caught Xiao Jie's attention. It was a narrow path that went deep into the dense forest and seemed to lead to the back mountain. Because it was too remote, he had never walked on it before.

At this time, I walked in, thinking about where it would lead. I walked along the path under the shade of the trees for about a hundred meters. As the light behind me was blocked by the woods, the surroundings became silent.

What a perfect place to practice.

This should be considered the edge area of ​​Tiger Hill, which is an area that has not yet been developed. When the park was built, the budget was probably insufficient and this area was not covered. There are only weeds and trees in front of us.

It is suitable for practicing martial arts.

Xiao Jie couldn't wait to start practicing.

The first thing he practiced was Qinggong. He had been looking forward to this kind of high-flying kung fu for a long time.

He first found a relatively open piece of wasteland, placed the Embroidered Spring Knife under a tree, then closed his eyes and carefully recalled the techniques of Flying on the Grass.

First, activate your internal energy, and then——

Flying on the grass!
He suddenly drew a breath from his Dantian, and Xiao Jie felt his feet floating, and his whole body seemed to be three points lighter. He jumped up and was more than one meter high.

One foot landed firmly on the ground. No, I had to take another breath!

He pushed the ground hard again, holding his hands up to keep balance, and transmitted his internal force to the meridians in his feet. The moment he landed, it was as if he was stepping on cotton and he bounced up immediately.

The more he ran, the lighter he felt, and the more he floated. When he took the seventh step, he finally found the feeling. With one step, he actually stepped on the grass and flew up.

Haha, it feels so good. Xiao Jie was so excited that he seemed to weigh only a few pounds. Every time he stepped on the grass, he only needed a little strength to fly into the air again. He flew over the grass without touching the ground.

This feeling was so wonderful that Xiao Jie had only experienced it in his dreams before.

He ran more than a hundred meters on the grass leaves in one breath, but the breath in his dantian was exhausted, his feet sank suddenly, and he fell down. Fortunately, Xiao Jie was agile enough to support himself with his hands, rolled twice on the ground, did a somersault and stood up quickly.

He shook off the grass and dirt on his body and turned back to look at the road he came from.

Awesome! The rugged mountain road is as smooth as walking on flat ground.

It’s just that its endurance is a bit short, and my internal strength is still too low.

There are three ways to restore internal energy. One is to wait for it to recover automatically, and the other is to take medicine to restore it.

Third, you need to meditate to recover.

Xiao Jie sat down cross-legged, adjusted his breathing, and circulated his internal energy. With previous experience, he was able to circulate his internal energy much faster this time. A stream of internal energy flowed out from his dantian, constantly circulating and growing stronger. Soon, it had completed a cycle, and the internal energy in his body was restored again.

Unfortunately, even if you use your energy quickly, it still takes several minutes to recover, and you can't do that during a battle.

Although you can take medicine, it takes time to do so. In a battle between real masters, there are often very few opportunities to take medicine. If you take internal force medicine, you cannot take blood bottles. Therefore, you must increase your internal force as soon as possible. Otherwise, with 1 points of internal force, you will not be able to use many skills in a battle.

After recovering his internal strength, the next step is to practice swordsmanship.

Xiao Jie walked back to the open space he had just been in, drew out his Embroidered Spring Sword, first made a stance, and then suddenly swung it out.

The nine wind moves are performed in succession.

The Kuangfeng Sword Technique is mainly based on chopping and slashing, and the moves are only for attack and not for defense. It is simple and direct, and the sword force is continuous, like a violent storm. It may be a little unfamiliar at the beginning, but the more you practice, the smoother it becomes. It is as if those sword techniques are imprinted in your mind, and each move will be automatically used after the second move is performed.

He performed three sets in succession. When he started practicing for the fourth time, Xiao Jie suddenly channeled his internal energy into the sword technique. He slashed with the sword and there was a sound of breaking wind.

Wuuwuwu! Every time the knife went down, there was a whistling sound.

Moreover, the momentum of the sword became faster and faster. Later, Xiao Jie felt a gust of wind surrounding the blade, guiding him to swing continuously. His whole body seemed to be dancing with the wind.

Crack! The last slash of the knife cut a small tree as thick as an arm in half, and then he retracted the knife. Xiao Jie panted, his heart full of joy.

Haha, that feels great.

"Pah-pah-pah!"

Xiao Jie was startled by the sound of applause. Turning around, he saw a lynx looking at him curiously and clapping its paws.

That movement, that expression, is quite human.

"safely?"

"Who else but me?" said the lynx.

"Aren't you afraid of being seen?"

"Don't worry. My ears are very sharp. Any movement within a hundred meters will not escape my ears. I will be the first to notice someone coming. Otherwise, why do you think I noticed you?"

As she spoke, she leaped lightly and landed in front of Xiao Jie. Xiao Jie was surprised. The other party jumped from the spot with ease, which did not seem like something he had to leap with all his might to achieve.

"Don't worry, I've mastered the ability to transform, I won't bite you - your sword skills are pretty good, are you new to it?"

"Yeah, haven't you seen this sword technique before?" Xiao Jie was a little surprised. Logically speaking, the Kuangfeng Sword Technique should be very common, after all, it was taught in a martial arts school?
"Don't be surprised. Different martial arts schools teach different sword techniques. Each instructor has different skills, so it depends on luck what sword techniques you can learn."

I see. Xiao Jie thought that the martial arts schools in every town taught the same martial arts. But if that were the case, wouldn't there be countless martial arts schools in this game? "What are you doing?" Xiao Jie asked.

"Just like you, adapt to the power."

An Ran said as he shook his fur and changed back into human form.

I stretched my muscles, especially rubbed my eyes, and it seemed that there was a big difference in my vision from lynx back to human form.

She looked at the knife in Xiao Jie's hand with interest, "It's boring to practice alone, do you want me to play with you?"

"You also know swordsmanship?"

"Of course, otherwise how do you think I leveled up before level 30?" She picked up the small tree that Xiao Jie had cut down, and her fair hands easily broke off the branches on it, quickly breaking it into a stick, and casually made a knife flower, "Come on, let me teach you."

Xiao Jie also wanted to break one off, but An Ran couldn't help but laugh and said, "Just use a knife."

Xiao Jie pretended to be embarrassed, "Will this not hurt you?"

"Hahahaha, your joke is not funny at all."

"Then you're still laughing?"

"If I don't smile, I'm afraid you'll be embarrassed. As a gentle and charming beauty like me, of course I have to take other people's feelings into consideration."

Xiao Jie was speechless. Wenwan Yiren...you are the joke.

"Then I'll come." He said and attacked with his sword.

He was very clear about the gap in strength between them, so he did not hold back at all.

Ding ding ding! As expected, all three consecutive sword strikes were blocked.

Xiao Jie was in a heavy mood. Although he knew that the opponent was of a high level and must be very powerful, only by fighting him in person could he truly feel how big the gap was.

The opponent made light of the heavy weight, and even though he was using a thick wooden stick, he was able to block the three sword strikes with ease. This also aroused Xiao Jie's competitive spirit, and he suddenly activated his internal force and swung his sword, with the blade whistling towards him.

An Ran showed an approving expression, "Isn't that right?"

Ding ding ding! However, there was still no difference. An Ran easily resolved the accelerated knife force. The opponent's agility was obviously far superior to Xiao Jie. Whether in speed or reaction, he was completely suppressed.

Xiao Jie attacked with several swords in a row. An Ran blocked and dodged while saying, "I'm coming too."

As he spoke, he swung the Embroidered Spring Sword and chopped with a stick. Xiao Jie quickly dodged to the side.

Another knife attack, Xiao Jie blocked it with difficulty.

Another blow!

(Blade counter? No, it's too fast.)
This time, Xiao Jie couldn't resolve it no matter what he did, and could only flip over and hide backwards.

An Ran took advantage of the situation and flew into the air, chopping Xiao Jie on the head with a stick.

As soon as Xiao Jie landed, the stick came towards him, and it was too late to block or dodge.

He could only let the stick hit him gently on the head.

"Ow!"

"Don't pretend. I clearly held back. Your swordsmanship isn't that great. I didn't even use my internal energy."

Xiao Jie thought to himself, Big sister, you are level 30 and I am level 10, what else do you want?
He spread his hands helplessly, "I can't help it. I just started learning it and I haven't even mastered the routines yet. Besides, the gap between our strengths is too big, there's no way we can compare."

"It's not a matter of level. Your skills are not good enough. You could have deflected my sword just now, just like this--" As he said this, he placed the wooden stick on the blade of Xiao Jie's sword, turned it suddenly, threw the blade aside, and stabbed Xiao Jie with his backhand, hitting him in the chest.

"Master, what skill is this? I've never seen it in the game before?"

"The seventh move of the Jinghong sword technique. The sword techniques in the game are all complete sets and cannot be disassembled, but this is not the case in reality. Different moves can be re-arranged or used separately.

Come, let’s do it again.”

Xiao Jie shook his head, "No, I don't have the inner strength anymore."

Even with internal strength, you can't beat him. Without internal strength, there is no comparison at all.

An Ran was speechless, "What level are you? You have no internal strength, why do you feel so weak?"

"Ha, you found out. Actually, I'm only level 10 and just left the Novice Village."

"No wonder." An Ran nodded thoughtfully, "Do you need me to teach you some game skills?"

Xiao Jie smiled and said, "I couldn't ask for more. By the way, do you know how to quickly increase your internal strength? Is there any shortcut to max out your internal strength level in one go?"

“There is no shortcut. The most you can do is buy some pills, which can give you double the internal force experience. But in the end, you still have to practice slowly by yourself. However, it is said that there are some blessed places that can speed up the practice. One day of practice is equivalent to three days. If you are lucky enough to find it, just ignore what I said.

In fact, you don't need to worry. Generally speaking, the first few levels of internal strength can be upgraded quite quickly. An ordinary person can upgrade to the sixth or seventh level in ten days or half a month. If you practice madly, a week will be enough.

The next few levels will be slower, so just level up slowly. You will definitely gain more powerful inner strength in the later stages, and you can switch to something else then."

Xiao Jie thought to himself, okay, learning six or seven levels of internal energy in a week, this speed is acceptable. Duan Yu said it would take three years to study the scriptures and ten years to practice, which shocked him at the time. If it really took him ten years to master it, that would be fatal.

"So do you have any suggestions for my sword skills? How should I use it in combat?"

An Ran thought for a moment, "The most important part of swordsmanship is the first three moves. If the action modules of the first three moves are not concise enough, they will basically be useless. In this regard, your swordsmanship is pretty good."

"Oh, why is that?"

"Generally speaking, big monsters won't give you the chance to use a full set of sword techniques. Usually you can only use one or two sword techniques, or at most three sword techniques. After that, you have to prepare to defend or dodge the boss's attacks, so the first three techniques are the most important.

Sword skills are also not very useful during PK. In reality, you can kill the opponent with one strike, but in the game there is a health bar, so it is useless even if you strike, as the opponent can fight back or dodge.

Therefore, when players engage in a civil war, swordplay and knife skills are not as useful as some powerful combat skills, especially those with special effects such as cutting, bleeding, and breaking limbs, which can often defeat the enemy in one move.

However, when dealing with small monsters, the sword technique is very useful, especially when clearing those small monsters with low toughness. It is very useful to use a mindless combo effect and make the small monsters unable to fight back.

Another thing is that the output of standing still is very strong. If the enemy is the type that cannot fight back, such as being stunned or immobilized, the cycle output of sword skills can increase the damage per second by at least 50% compared to the output of ordinary attacks.

However, the greatest use of swordsmanship is to comprehend its mysteries. Once you comprehend its mysteries, the life value of the swordsmanship will be realized."

Xiao Jie knew about the secret technique, which was equivalent to a super-killing move, but he had only heard about how powerful it was.

"Can you tell me about this secret? How can I comprehend it?"

“First, you have to upgrade a sword technique to the maximum level.

Then your comprehension must be at least 20 points, and of course the higher the better.

Then when you use your full-level sword skills to fight, there is a certain chance that you will gain enlightenment from it."

An Ran suddenly revealed a mysterious smile as she spoke, and whispered mysteriously, "Do you want to see it for yourself?"

Xiao Jie's heart moved, "I think so."

"Give me your knife, I can't test it with a stick."

Xiao Jie obediently lowered the Embroidered Spring Sword.

An Ran gestured twice and couldn't help but curl her lips.

"You ought to get a better knife, and this thing will do for you—watch it."

As An Ran spoke, her expression suddenly became serious. She held the knife in both hands and slowly raised it, with the blade pointing diagonally towards the sky. An aura gradually began to surround her body, leaves and grass dancing in the wind, and even her sportswear began to flutter.

The next second, a knife was swung out.

Secret——A stunning strike!

The sky suddenly seemed to darken, and then a streak of white light broke through the air.

Swoosh! The knife light went straight through a big tree. The tree looked unchanged, but in a moment, the leaves on the tree fell one after another.

With a snap, the big tree was cut in half and fell to the ground with a loud bang.

Damn, so fierce!

Xiao Jie was shocked. He had only seen such scenes in martial arts movies. Such special effects could not be produced in domestic movies.

An Ran, however, made a knife flower in a graceful manner, with the calm demeanor of a master, and threw the knife to Xiao Jie.

The moment he took the Xiuchun Knife, the blade shattered into several pieces.

"Your sword is too weak. It can't withstand the vibration of my internal force. Also, my use of internal force is still a little rough. There's nothing I can do. After all, it's all quick learning."

After saying that, An Ran seemed to suddenly remember something, "Fuck, run."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Xiao Jie was immediately confused: "What's going on?"

"If you are caught deforestation, you will be fined." After saying that, he transformed into a lynx and disappeared among the woods in two or three leaps.

Xiao Jie was so angry that he thought that such a big noise might attract attention, so he quickly ran away.
