King of the Fairy City

Lonely island.

Dawn.

It was still dark, and everything was shrouded in haze.

"Get up, go practice martial arts!"

Ye Mo woke up early in the morning, got out of the tent, and dug out a few roasted seabird eggs from under the campfire to fill his stomach.

Then, he strode into the sea water near the beach and let the sea water submerge most of his body.

This was his habit of practicing martial arts. He started practicing martial arts in the water before dawn every day.

Ye Mo held the Qingfeng sword, planted his feet in the sea water, and faced the waves coming.

The power of the waves is so great that it can easily overturn people. If a huge wave hits the body, it will hurt like being hit by an iron plate.

It seems that a wave of waves is about to swallow him.

At this moment, the Qingfeng sword in Ye Mo's hand moved.

"The first move of "Chopping Waves" is "Breaking Waves", break--!"

Ye Mo shouted, and his arm suddenly exerted force, and the Qingfeng sword instantly chopped the crest of the wave coming towards him. A strong force burst out instantly, passing from his arm muscles to the sword.

"Swish!"

A half-zhang high wave was split into two flawlessly, rushing past him, and not a drop of spray from the wave tip splashed on him.

"Chopping Waves", a low-level martial arts.

Ye Mo has been practicing the sword art "Chopping Waves" since he was eight years old, and it has been a full ten years.

This is the lowest-level martial arts book he bought at a small stall in the local market with the wages he earned from working as a temporary clerk in an inn in the capital of the Wu Kingdom when he was a child. This "Chopping Waves" is even lower-level than some other street martial arts secrets such as "Tiger Fist", "Eagle Claw" and "Mantis Fist" on the stall.

Such a low-level secret book is naturally very low-priced, and it is the only martial arts secret book that Ye Mo can afford at the time.

The moves of "Chopping Waves" are very simple, with a total of three levels and only three moves.

Just now, Ye Mo performed the first move of the "Chopping Waves Technique", "Breaking Waves Slash", which is the simplest first move of the "Chopping Waves Technique". After that, there are the intermediate moves "Whirlpool Slash" and the advanced moves "Wave Stacking Slash".

"Breaking Waves Slash" is surprisingly simple, so simple that there is only one move - that is, to chop the waves in front of you in the water with a sword, and chop to the bottom without any changes.

Because the moves are too simple, there are no changes. It is difficult to practice in a short time, and the practice method is too boring. Few warriors are willing to practice such secrets for a long time. "Chopping Waves Technique" was denounced as a rubbish martial art by countless beginners, even worse than "Tiger Fist" and "Eagle Claw Kung Fu".

Ye Mo was only eight years old at that time, and he didn't understand these.

He bought the martial arts secret book and began to practice hard with excitement.

In the small streams, waterfalls, and rivers of Wuguo, facing the waves of the river, he practiced the first move of "Chopping Waves Technique" "Breaking Waves Slash" day after day.

In summer, he jumped into the cool stream and chopped the fish in the river.

In winter, the river was frozen, and he shivered with cold. He broke a big hole in the ice and jumped into the freezing cold river to continue practicing.

When he was thirsty, he drank water. When he was hungry, he ate fish. The young Ye Mo's physique relied on the fish in the river to supplement his nutrition.

He chopped at least 3,000 times a day, nearly 100,000 times a month, more than 1 million times a year, and more than 5 million times in five years, without a day of interruption.

Ye Mo spent five years, and when he was thirteen years old, he practiced the first step of the "Chopping Waves Art" "Breaking Waves" to the pinnacle.

No matter what kind of fish in the river waves, as big as a pufferfish weighing more than ten kilograms, or as small as a shrimp smaller than a soybean, with one sword, he would cut it in two.

The essence of "Breaking Waves" is to use the simplest way to give the enemy a fatal blow in an instant.

The first move of the initial stage of "Chopping Waves" is very simple.

However, any move, even the simplest martial arts move, can exert incredible power after five million times of practice for five years.

After practicing the first move, Ye Mo began to practice the second move of the intermediate stage, "Whirlpool Slash". This move is to form a vortex with the sword force and slash around.

Another five years passed in a flash. When he was eighteen years old, he practiced "Whirlpool Slash".

After ten years of continuous hard practice, Ye Mo has practiced the first move of "Chopping Waves" to the realm of perfection, and the second move to the pinnacle. He began to try to practice the most powerful high-level third move - Wave Stacking Slash.

While practicing "Chopping Waves", his physique was also greatly enhanced.

Ye Mo is now in the middle stage of the warrior, that is, the sixth level of the body refining stage.

The division of the warrior's body refining stage is very clear, generally based on strength. Ordinary warriors can stably exert 100 kilograms of strength in the early stage of body refining, 200 kilograms of strength in the middle stage of body refining, and 300 kilograms of strength in the late stage of body refining.

Before going out to sea, Ye Mo tested his basic strength and found that he already had 200 kilograms of strength. As long as he broke through to the late stage of body refining, he would have 300 kilograms of strength.

..

"The 2999th slash... The 3000th slash! Completed!"

Ye Mo faced a wave of waves, leaned forward slightly, tensed all his muscles, and held the hilt of the sword tightly with his right hand.

In a blink of an eye, the waves came towards him.

When the waves were about to hit him, a cold light flashed out, accompanied by a "snap" sound, and the waves split into two again, but did not fall on Ye Mo.

Then he put the Qingfeng sword back into the scabbard.

Putting the sword back into its scabbard is to practice the speed of drawing the sword. Under normal circumstances, a warrior's sword is kept in the scabbard. When encountering a dangerous enemy situation, he needs to draw the sword out of the scabbard immediately. The enemy will not wait for him to prepare his posture before taking action.

Unsheath the sword, raise the sword and drop it, and return the green-edge sword to the sheath, all in one go.

For a whole hour, Ye Mo has been practicing the first move "Breaking Waves", completing the practice three thousand times a day.

Precisely because the sword moves are surprisingly simple, all complicated moves have been removed, leaving only the simplest and most powerful attack movement of chopping. This sword practice has almost become his instinct.

The morning sun jumped out from the sea, revealing its first ray of light.

Ye Mo stood in the morning sun and waves, holding a sword, with an extremely calm look on his young face.

"I have finished practicing the first style of Breaking Waves, now I am practicing the second style of Whirlpool Slash!"

Ye Mo took a deep breath, dived several feet into the sea, completely submerged his body, and began to practice "Vortex Slash" on the shoal seabed.

"Whirlpool Slash" is a ranged sword damage martial skill that can attack enemies within one foot around the caster at the same time. This is a martial arts move that targets many enemies.

Holding his breath, he held the Qingfeng Sword in both hands and slashed rapidly.

The resistance in the water will make practice extremely difficult.

But once it can be practiced in water, it can exert very strong power when using the Vortex Slash on the ground.

"呲呲~!"

Gradually, Ye Mo's rotation speed became faster and faster, and a white crack gradually appeared where the Qingfeng Sword contacted the sea water. The crack became larger and larger as Ye Mo's rotation speed increased, and it seemed that it no longer touched the sea water. , was drawn out of the vacuum by the sword force.

On the bottom of the sea, a vortex with Ye Mo as the center gradually formed, spinning faster and faster. The surrounding seawater of dozens of feet rotated with it, rushing towards Ye Mo, and all of it was sucked into the soles of Ye Mo's feet by the vortex. .

The practice of "Whirlpool Slash" is extremely difficult. The key is to maintain excellent balance when spinning the sword out.

When Ye Mo first started practicing this style, he couldn't turn a few times before he felt like the world was spinning, he felt dizzy, his steps staggered, and he had to stop.

Ye Mo spent nearly three months just practicing the balance of spinning the sword.

It took him five years to practice this second style to the peak of proficiency.

Ye Mo was silent on the bottom of the sea, constantly swinging the whirlpool slash.

After half a stick of incense, Ye Mo performed the Whirlpool Slash dozens of times in one breath. After all the energy in his body was exhausted, he suddenly jumped up with his toes on the bottom of the sea. "Wow!" He got rid of the strong attraction of the vortex and rushed out of the sea. Gasping for air.

"Vortex Slash", the longer the vortex formed lasts, the more powerful it becomes.

Now every time he finishes practicing Whirlpool Slash, the large whirlpool formed in the water can last for a full incense stick before gradually dissipating.

..

Another hour.

"I have already mastered the first basic form of "Wave Cutting Technique", 'Breaking Waves', and the intermediate second form, 'Whirlpool Slash', to the peak level. However, I have not yet mastered the advanced third form of Wave Cutting. come out!"

Ye Mo thought in his heart.

The third style, "waves on top of each other", as the name suggests, is like waves in a big river, with each wave higher than the last.

This third form is actually an upgraded version of the first form, Breaking Waves, which combines two or even three Breaking Waves into one. So in name it is the third form, but in fact it is still a continuous attack from the first form.

"Wave Overlay Slash" can be used to its strongest level. It can execute two or three consecutive slashes in a very short period of time. One slash is stronger than the other. It is extremely fierce. Once it hits the opponent, it will either kill or injure the opponent.

However, there are very few warriors who can master Langdie Slash. It is even rarer for a warrior to practice three consecutive slashes at the highest level.

Ye Mo has been practicing hard for ten years, but he still hasn't mastered the double chop technique yet.

Ye Mo vaguely remembered what the stall owner said to him when he bought this martial arts manual.

"The secret of martial arts is only four words - 'Practice makes perfect'."

"For the simplest martial arts move, if you practice it 10,000 times, it's a bad move, and it's a piece of shit. If you practice it 100,000 times, it's a skilled move, which means you have some success. If you practice it a million times, it's like fire and pure love. It can be said to be first-class. To practice five million times is to reach the peak. To practice ten million times is to reach the realm of "turning decay into magic."

"Although this book "Cut the Waves" is about low-level martial arts, it eliminates all the fancy moves, leaving only the most simple and practical two moves. If you practice any one move more than a million times, you can reach perfection. Realm, more powerful than high-level martial arts moves."

"It's a pity that many warriors think that "Wave Cutting Technique" is too simple and the training method is too boring. They have no advantages in the early stages and have no patience to practice to the highest level."

Ye Mo didn't think too much, so he took the tips and practiced hard.

He spent ten years practicing the "Wave Cutting Technique". He practiced hard day after day. He practiced the first wave breaking technique 10 million times and the second vortex cutting technique 5 million times, which was far more than a proficient person. realm.

"Wow!"

Ye Mo waved the Qingfeng sword in his hand, and two consecutive rays of cold light met a wave of waves, which looked particularly dazzling in the sun.

These two rays of cold light split the waves one after the other.

Looking at the waves flying all over the sky.

Ye Mo knew that he had failed again.

His Qi and blood strength at the sixth level of body refining is still not enough, so the speed burst is not fast enough, and he still cannot refine the Wave Stacking Slash.

A warrior's strength is the foundation of everything. Without strength, he cannot explode with enough speed.

"Waves Slash" requires extremely fast speed, at least two consecutive strikes in an instant, so as to cause double force and speed to the enemy at once. Otherwise, it is just a simple "wave-breaking slash", not "wave-breaking two consecutive slashes, wave-breaking three consecutive slashes".

Ye Mo was naturally unwilling, pursed his lips, and prepared for the next wave-breaking slash.

..

Another hour later, today's martial arts training times have already been completed, and he has not been able to practice the third wave-breaking, but has been constantly mastering the first two.

Ye Mo held the Qingfeng sword and left the sea tiredly.

Although practicing "Wave-breaking Art" can improve physical fitness. But after all, this is an external skill. After practicing two or three hours a day, it will reach the limit of the body's endurance.

"I have eaten up the few seabird eggs roasted last night. It seems that I have to find some back."

Ye Mo touched his rumbling stomach.

The training of martial arts is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Filling one's stomach on this island is a difficult task. He also needs to look for small streams on the island to find some fresh water to drink.

Meat, dry food, and fresh water are all necessary for him to survive on this deserted island.
