Volume 2 That World Chapter 26 Special training, battle against Yu Chengen!
Without other forces deliberately targeting and besieging, today's Jiange Defense Competition was peaceful.
Bai Tianhe's realm has reached the limit of the sixth stage, and he is about to comprehend the seventh stage at any time. Shangquan Yiren is also a master among the sixth stage. The two of them take turns to defend the ring, and they can easily suppress a group of young people below the sixth stage. Occasionally, one or two good players of the sixth stage will appear, and they only need to expend a little more physical strength.
Qi Ji didn't even make a move. Like Qin Zijin and Su Jingqiu, he spent most of his time meditating with his eyes closed, constantly cultivating his body and mind through the meridian nourishing method.
Relying on the help of "Qi", the speed of practicing the Yangmai Method is almost ten times that of the inner realm.
Qi Ji felt that his strength was increasing every day. If he wanted to estimate it with relatively accurate numbers, it would be almost one kilogram a day.
Spiritually, due to the noisy environment which makes visualization inconvenient, the speed of cultivation is a little slower and cannot be rushed.
At this rate, by the time he returns to the inner realm after 30 days, his basic strength will probably be over 200 kilograms.
After one morning, Jiange successfully completed forty defense challenges.
When Qi Ji saw that Yu Chengen was a little free, he immediately went over to him.
"Mr. Yu, are you free this afternoon?"
Yu Chengen had just said goodbye to his referee partner when he heard Qi Ji's voice and turned to look at him: "What's wrong, Qi Ji, do you want to talk to me about something?"
Qi Ji nodded: "Yes, I have a question and I would like to ask you to solve it."
Yu Chengen smiled and said, "You are eager to learn. What's the problem? Tell me."
So Qi Ji explained to Yu Chengen again the problem that he had described to a few friends in the morning.
Yu Chengen subconsciously touched his beard after hearing this, and when he found nothing, he smiled and said, "You have a lot of ideas for a high-speed sword slash that cannot be resisted."
He continued, "Based on my knowledge, in the Inner and Outer Realms, if you are not a transcendent, no one can launch an attack that will leave you completely defenseless. So, you are assuming that your enemy is a transcendent, right?"
Qi Ji nodded. It didn't matter how Sword Saint Yu understood it, as long as he was willing to help him solve the problem.
Yu Chengen pondered for a moment and laughed: "Okay, then I will put other things aside for today. After we finish lunch, you guys come together, and then I will call Lao Yuan, and we will have special training together."
So, taking advantage of Qi Ji's doubts, Yu Chengen started the special training for the team that he had originally planned to conduct.
…
In the afternoon, outside Jiandu City, in the primeval forest.
Yu Chengen and Yuan Weizong, two extraordinary masters, stood side by side, looking at the small team in front of them with smiles on their faces.
Qin Zijin and Su Jingqiu were not surprised. They stood there leisurely, waiting for instructions from the two extraordinary people.
Qi Ji, Bai Tianhe and Shangquan Yiren were all excited. They looked around and tried hard to take in all the information from the outside world.
Yu Chengen clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention to himself.
He said in a serious tone, "I should have started this special training earlier, but I didn't expect the preparations for the swordplay competition to be so troublesome. I was too busy to do anything, so I delayed it for a few days. I apologize in advance."
Qi Ji and others quickly waved their hands, they could not afford an apology from the old Sword Saint.
Yu Chengen continued, "I have already learned about the situation of the defending teams of the seven major forces in this competition. The specific situation is in this notebook. You can study it when the time comes." After that, he took out a notebook about one foot wide from his waist bag and threw it to Qin Zijin. Qin Zijin grinned, opened it and started reading it on the spot.
"I can tell you a simple situation in advance. For this competition, each force has sent out its best young talents." Yu Chengen said calmly while recalling.
"First of all, the leader of each team is at least at the eighth level, which means the level of 'Zuo Zhao' is the minimum. On the surface, Jingqiu from our Jiange has the highest level of ninth level, but..." Yu Chengen looked at Su Jingqiu.
"Jingqiu, you have to be careful. Although you are already at the ninth stage and are about to enter the half-step transcendent level, you are not transcendent after all. Not reaching the transcendent level means that you are still in the mortal realm. And the difference between the ninth stage and the eighth stage in the mortal realm is sometimes not that huge. Do you understand?"
"I understand!" Su Jingqiu nodded seriously to show that she understood. She knew that Yu Chengen was reminding her that the gap between mortals was limited. If she was not careful, she might be defeated by the eighth-level masters of other forces.
Although this possibility is infinitesimally small.
Yu Chengen nodded and continued, "The champions of each defending faction are all at the level of 8th dan or above. The vice champions are currently at 7th dan. As for the two forwards, they are probably below 7th dan, not much different from our Jiange."
Finally, Yu Chengen stated the purpose of this gathering: "For this purpose, I have formulated two special training plans. Bai Tianhe and Shangquan Yiren will implement one set, and Qi Ji and Su Jingqiu will implement the other set."
He first turned his gaze to his apprentice and his good friend's grandson: "You two, today's mission is to kill a blue bear beast deep in this forest and get its arm armor and fur. Old Yuan will follow you, so don't worry about your life being in danger."
After saying that, Yu Chengen grasped the two weapons he had been carrying behind his back with both hands, a Daxia two-handed sword and a Sakura Katana, and threw them to Bai Tianhe and Shangquan Yiren respectively.
" The Blue Bear Beast is even more ferocious than the bears and tigers in the inner realm. You can't take it down without risking your life."
The two men took the weapons, unsheathed them and took a look, only to find that they were real weapons with sharp blades.
Qi Ji looked at Qin Zijin, who leaned over and whispered in his ear, "The Blue Bear Beast is a wild beast from the Outer Realm. It looks similar to the bears in the Inner Realm, but its front feet are very developed, with sharp claws and thick shells. Its strength is not comparable to that of ordinary beasts in the Inner Realm."
After Bai Tianhe and his companions got the real swords, they obediently said goodbye to Qi Ji and the others, and followed Yuan Weizong into the depths of the forest.
"As for you three." Yu Chengen watched his apprentice leave, then turned around and looked at Qi Ji and the other two.
"Xiao Qin has his own set of training methods taught by Pavilion Master Yu, so I don't need to say more. As for Qi Ji and Jing Qiu, the two of you..." Yu Chengen touched his chin and suddenly smiled, "You two are the pillars of this martial arts competition, but Jing Qiu, you have been training in the Sword Pavilion and lack actual combat. Qi Ji, you have been in the inner domain and have only played house games wearing protective gear."
He continued, "I plan to have you two train with me in actual combat so that you can gain some practical experience in advance. This way, you can be more calm when the time comes for a real fight."
Qi Ji and Su Jingqiu looked at each other. The thought of having practical training with the world-famous Sword Saint (Sword King) made them excited.
"You two can take turns, Qi Ji. Based on your idea, I can simulate your 'speedy sword drawing' technique to fight you."
Yu Chengen then said to Su Jingqiu, "Jingqiu, your biggest opponent is most likely the young master of the Divine Sword Tower, Nie Ming, so I will imitate the Divine Sword Tower's 'Scorching Blade' style to fight you."
After saying this, Yu Chengen asked Su Jingqiu to wait on the side first, and then called Qi Ji to his side.
Then, he took out a sheathed single-edged sword about one meter long from his waist. It looked exactly like the weapon of the black-clad swordsman in the tower.
Yu Chengen smiled and said, "I asked the Sword Pavilion to help me with the allocation. I found this single sword, which should be more suitable for the sword-drawing technique. Shall we begin?"
Qi Ji nodded, took a few steps back, silently clenched his own straight knife with both hands, and faced Yu Chengen.
He felt a little weird. His rank hadn't even been officially evaluated yet, but now he had to confront and compete with the Sword Master of Great Xia.
"Qi Ji, come over here and attack!"
Sword Master Yu stood tall, holding the scabbard tightly in his left hand at his side, and gently grasping the handle with his right hand.
The next moment, the familiar aura symbolizing the meaning of death pressed towards Qi Ji!
This feeling! Like! Too much like the swordsman in the tower!
Qi Ji was slightly stunned, and immediately felt involved.
In an instant, Qi Ji's momentum also surged, and then, in the astonished eyes of Su Jingqiu beside him, he suddenly activated his secret explosive technique!
The method of nourishing the meridians is fierce!
The blood in the body is rushing at high speed, and the physical fitness is raised to a level beyond the limits of human beings !
The next second, Qi Ji pushed the ground slightly, and a handful of sand and dust floated up from the soil under his feet.
Then he appeared in front of Yu Chengen like a flash!
The long knife instantly cut through the air, making a sharp whistle and stabbed towards Yu Chengen's chest!
"What an amazing explosive power!" Yu Cheng'en didn't care about the sharp knife that reached his chest in an instant, but he was amazed at the speed after Qi Ji's explosion.
While he was speaking with plenty of energy, he waved his scabbard lightly to fend off Qi Ji's continuous attacks!
The way of dealing with it is exactly the same as that of the swordsman in the tower!
The two sides fought dozens of times in an instant, with Qi Ji basically attacking and Yu Chengen defending.
In Qi Ji's opinion, this almost completely reproduced the scene of him attacking the tower last night.
Qi Ji gritted his teeth and immediately launched the Dragon Nest Flash!
Cut! Chop! Pick! Sweep! Flick...
The high-speed multiple slashes turned into a large knife net that covered Yu Chengen. Yu Chengen quickly raised the scabbard and deflected all of Qi Ji's slashes!
The next second! Yu Chengen's fingers holding the knife handle suddenly moved slightly!
Qi Ji instantly became alert to the extreme!
An inexplicable feeling of palpitations sounded in my heart like an alarm.
In an instant, there was a flash of knife!
The tip of Yu Chengen's single-edged sword remained firmly on Qi Ji's throat.
Qi Ji was surprised. This was exactly the feeling he wanted!
Yu Chengen put away his sword, lowered his head and said to Qi Ji: "The sword-drawing move I just made was me using 'Qi' to stimulate my muscles, allowing me to draw the sword at a speed that surpasses that of an ordinary person."
Qi Ji nodded repeatedly: "Master Yu, please train with me in this way!"
"Okay!" Yu Chengen smiled slightly.
