Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 89: Rapid Advancement of Martial Arts
The King of Flowers, who lived a life of luxury and extravagance, was what even Tianyi Valley longed for. With just four petals, healed all the fatal quickly.
Not long after, the news that Tang Xuan had woken up spread throughout Tangjiabao.
Although Tang Zhongxing didn't tell anyone that it was because of his extravagant life, many disciples still vaguely knew that Tang Xuan's ability to be saved was related to a certain precious medicine that their teacher took out.
Because Tang Xuan was out of danger, the dark clouds covering the sky above Tangjiabao gradually dissipated.
Tang Zheng just received the news when Tang Boyuan came in and said, "Xuanxuan has woken up. But there is a problem with the flower field..."
"Oh? What's the problem?" Tang Zheng asked.
"The yield of the fruit of the flower of luxury is extremely low. A flower will only bear fruit once every three to ten years. Once the fruit is produced, most of it is used to make phantom poison. There are not many fruits on the market. For now, we can only get this small bag of flower seeds, which can only grow a flower field half the size of a bedroom at most."
Tang Zheng slapped his forehead. He really forgot about the issue of flower seeds.
Flower seeds are the fruits of flowers!
But the fruit of decadence is the raw material for making phantom poison, and I'm afraid it's impossible to even buy it.
It’s already pretty good to get a small pack from Tangjiabao.
There were not enough flower seeds, so there was nothing we could do. Tang Zheng could only smile and say, "We can plant as many as we can. Anyway, we are growing the flower king, so the area requirement is not high. If the flower field is too large, it will be easily exposed, and it will be inconvenient to enter and exit."
Half a bedroom, less than ten square meters, can’t even be called a flower field. At most it can be called a small nursery.
However, at that time in the flower fields of Fengmen Village, a circle of decadence and extravagance could heal Tang Zheng's injuries alone, and the small nursery of ten square meters was definitely enough for the time being.
"How long will it take for it to bloom?" Tang Zheng asked Tang Boyuan again.
"If it's planted well, it usually takes a month for the first flower to bloom. But... we plant the flower king first, and then put in the flower seeds. What will happen..." Tang Boyuan smiled and shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.
The idea of living a life of luxury and extravagance is that there should be flower fields first, and then the flower kings should grow in the flower fields. It is not necessarily the case that every flower field has a flower king...
Who has ever lived a life of extravagance and decadence like them?
Tang Boyuan didn't know, and Tang Zheng knew even less, so the two of them simply put the matter of growing the luxurious life aside.
Tang Boyuan picked up the "Dagger Technique" from Tang Zheng's desk and asked, "Did you encounter a technical obstacle when practicing this martial art?"
"Yeah." Tang Zheng nodded.
"Hand-copied martial arts?" Tang Boyuan took a closer look and exclaimed in amazement.
Hand-copied martial arts are extremely rare martial arts!
What’s even more rare is that the first volume can still be found.
"There are only the first three volumes. I don't know if I can find the volumes after that." Tang Zheng replied.
"It's already pretty good to have the first three volumes." Tang Boyuan was even more amazed.
Tang Zheng also knew that it was rare to have a set of handwritten martial arts with the first three volumes complete.
His other set of handwritten martial arts, the "Blood Shadow Escape Technique", was a real pitfall. The first volume was obtained from the female assassin who tried to kill him, the third volume was found in Jubao Pavilion, and he had no idea where the second volume in the middle was.
Moreover, the martial arts guidance in the first volume of that set of martial arts has already been used, and someone needs to be found to repair it.
"Wait a moment, let me take a look first." Tang Boyuan took the "Dagger Technique" and started reading from the opening move.
…
Tang Boyuan looked very carefully.
After a while, he put the book down, staggered his steps, and the bright black thorn star behind him rose up with a whoosh.
He clenched his left hand and used the star power to extend something in the shape of a dagger!
Then, the star power turned...
One strike at a time.
Crackling...
This attack, containing the peak three-star star power, slammed into the table next to Tang Zheng!
However, only one table leg was broken.
Tang Boyuan did not stop, and immediately turned to the second page and used the second move to attack the crown.
After completing the championship, he did not stop and directly used the third move "Yu Xi", followed by "Yang Xiao", and finally the finishing move "Han Mie"!
"I don't have any of my fate palaces with double stars." Tang Boyuan said after practicing the first volume, "But it is basically certain that you may encounter technical difficulties in Chongguan and Henmie."
Tang Zheng looked humble: "Why?"
"The use of the power of the two stars by Chongguan and Henmie is a conflicting use. On the one hand, they have to release, and on the other hand, they have to take back. Therefore, either the released power is not enough, or it is not taken back in time, resulting in flaws." After all, Tang Boyuan is a warrior at the peak of three stars, and he saw the problem at a glance.
Whether the martial arts are not lethal enough, or leaving loopholes after releasing the martial arts, it is unacceptable for a martial artist.
Tang Zheng nodded twice: "Yes, that's the problem. How about I demonstrate it again?"
"Okay!" Tang Boyuan took two steps back.
The power of the two stars gathered in Tang Zheng's body, starting from the opening move and continuing all the way to the championship.
After practicing for so long, his "championship" had become much more fluent, so he played it twice.
"Hmm." Tang Boyuan read it twice very carefully. "It's already very good that you can reduce the flaw to such a small size."
"How to solve it?" Tang Zheng asked.
It would be fine if Tang Zheng had always encountered a melee like the one yesterday, but once he met a one-on-one master, one of his martial arts had a flaw in the second move, and he probably wouldn't have a chance to use the subsequent moves like Yu Xie, Yang Xiao, and Hen Mie.
No matter how small a flaw is, it is still a flaw !
And Tang Boyuan came here just to solve the flaw.
"To break through this kind of technical barrier, you need to break down the moves and practice them to the extreme." Tang Boyuan stood where he was and demonstrated it to Tang Zheng again, "Practice the moves first, don't worry about the retraction!"
"Hmm? And then?"
"After you have practiced your moves well, give up your moves and just practice your moves!" Tang Boyuan said.
When Tang Zheng heard this, he suddenly felt as if the clouds had cleared and the moon was shining.
Since there are conflicting points in the moves, just practice them separately!
Tang Boyuan took out a notebook half the size of the martial arts book from his inner pocket and said, "This is the 'Notes on Stepping on the Gate' left by the ancestors of the Tang family. It records in detail the principles and solutions of more than one hundred martial arts skills. You can read it yourself first. If you have any questions, you can always come and ask me."
"..." Tang Zheng was looking at the book "Notes on the Palace", then raised his head to look at Tang Boyuan.
There is a dark red seal on "Notes from the Palace Museum", but of the four characters on the seal, only the character "Tang" can be barely recognized, and the rest of the characters are no longer visible.
There are no secret martial arts in Tangjiabao, but one can tell at a glance that the notes of experience in solving hundreds of technical problems in one go are also very valuable information!
Tang Zheng was about to open the notebook to read it, when he suddenly heard a series of sad cries...
The source of the cry was not far away, it should be inside Tangjiabao.
"I'm so hungry, please give me something to eat... I'm so hungry... I'm so hungry..."
Tang Boyuan didn't hear it at first, until Tang Zheng suddenly stopped and looked out the window, he vaguely heard a noise.
However, the Tang Family Castle was filled with noise, and he couldn't distinguish it completely like Tang Zheng, so he could only ask, "What's that sound?"
"Uh... aren't we holding a bunch of bandits captive? They haven't eaten for a whole day and are starving." Tang Zhengdao said.
"..." Tang Boyuan waved his sleeves, "I don't have time to care about their lives now!"
After saying that, he opened the notebook again, pointed out the location of the situation Tang Zheng was currently facing, and marked out for him several technical obstacles that might arise in the finishing move "Hanmie".
Tang Zheng was listening to Tang Boyuan's words with a mixture of laughter and tears, but he couldn't stop the resentful voices of "We're so hungry, we're starving to death" from reaching his ears...
I just don't know if Zheng Qian, who is almost starving to death, can still analyze for his bandit brothers when they can have food to eat?
…
After Tang Boyuan taught Tang Zheng everything , he left Tang Zheng's courtyard.
Tang Zheng followed the method of split practice. Regardless of how to retract the move or how big the flaw was after the move was launched, he focused on practicing the power of this move!
Once I practiced like this, I became much faster.
In just three days, he had already mastered the swift and explosive moves required to win the championship.
For the next seven days, he basically practiced his finishing moves alone.
Ten days passed...
He was practicing martial arts with almost no distractions, and the star power in his body accumulated rapidly. Before he knew it, he had broken through three thousand strands and directly reached the high-level one-star level!
The entire Tang Family Castle was shocked.
Everyone knew that he had been in seclusion for some time, but no one expected that the results of his seclusion would be so astonishing!
Not to mention Tang Xiaotang and the others, even Meng Fenghua, who was equally talented, took four months to go from a one-star intermediate level to a one-star high level.
And Tang Zheng, a martial artist who started practicing at the age of 22, actually only took one month!
"The Purple Jade True Luan Pendant is already so useful, I wonder if the 'Rain Flower Seal' in Lan Shaoze's hand will be even more useful?" Tang Zheng let out a long breath and said to himself with a smile: "Hey, eating in the bowl, thinking about the pot, the one who is criticizing is not someone like me, right?"
When reaching the high level of one star, the strength of the star power is already very strong, and one can perform at least twenty martial arts moves in one breath without taking a break.
If he could reach the peak of one star, he could perform the five moves in the first volume of "Dagger Technique" for a full ten rounds before just feeling a little tired.
The rapid increase of star power is the basis of combat.
What made Tang Zheng even happier was that his martial arts skills improved rapidly. After he had practiced the attacking and retreating moves for the championship thoroughly, he immediately released them all at once. This move, which had always seemed to be stuck, was now released perfectly without any delay!
Success at the first try!
It took him less than a month to train for the championship, and Yu Xie and Yang Xiao, who have no technical difficulties, should be even faster!
"Master, Master... Master Mo Feng from Bailianfang has sent a letter!" A servant from Tangjiabao knocked on the door and ran in while he was continuing to practice the third move of the dagger technique, Yuxi.
