King of the Fairy City

"Oh well!"

Ye Mo thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

He was considering leaving Mo Ling alone in the cave, which was a bit risky. After all, there are not only two people on the island, but also some other surviving warriors and even unknown beasts. Mo Ling also had several inches of precious seventh-grade red blood vines on her body, so she was worried about leaving her alone in the cave.

It's safer to be together.

Moreover, Mo Ling is the princess of Donglai County, and the martial arts skills he has practiced are not far behind. After timely treatment with his own healing herbs, he should gradually start to recover. Two people can chop down spiritual trees faster than one person.

He was a little worried about Mo Ling's physical condition. Now that he was short of time, he couldn't care too much.

"While there are no sea monsters on the island yet, let's cut down some more spirit trees. If we build the spirit wood fence a day earlier, this cave camp will be safer."

Mo Ling stood up and said.

Ye Mo tied the Qingfeng Sword to his waist, took a burning dead branch from the bonfire as a torch, and walked out of the cave.

Mo Ling held the sword Mo Mei in his jade hand and followed Ye Mo out of the cave.

When Ye Mo saw Mo Ling coming out, he motioned for Mo Ling to lead the way. He didn't know where the spirit tree was.

Mo Ling didn't waste any time. He looked at the mountains behind him and then at the jungle in front of him. After determining the direction, he walked quickly in the jungle.

Ye Mo followed Mo Ling all the way.

"This is it! My red blood vine was also found here."

In less than half an hour, Mo Ling looked at the dark jungle and stopped.

Ye Mo couldn't help but look forward. In front of the two of them was a relatively sparse old woodland, with about thirty trees about ten feet tall and as thick as thighs. At first glance, these trees appear greener than other trees nearby.

"These trees are spirit trees. Judging from their size, they should be the lowest level of first-class spirit trees. Spirit trees grow extremely slowly, and ordinary soil is not suitable for their growth. They must be in places with abundant spiritual energy to grow. Such thick spiritual trees The tree has grown for hundreds of years at least!”

Mo Ling's eyes sparkled.

"These dozens of trees don't look much different from other trees. Can they be as hard as iron?"

Ye Mo became curious about these trees.

After getting closer, he found that the texture on the bark of these trees was extremely shallow. If you didn't look carefully, it would be a flat piece, but the veins were very neat and well-proportioned.

"The first-order spirit wood is as hard as iron, and it is extremely difficult for ordinary iron swords to cut it. However, your Qingfeng sword is a top-grade weapon, made of hundreds of steel refinements, and is sharper than ordinary iron swords. My Black Plum Sword It’s a top-quality sword, extremely sharp and harder than spirit wood.”

"By the way, what kind of martial arts do you practice? Are there any moves in it that are suitable for cutting down spiritual trees?"

Mo Ling suddenly thought of an important question.

She still doesn't know Ye Mo's strength.

"What I learned is the "Wave Cutting Technique"!"

"What kind of martial arts is "Wave Cutting Technique"? I have never heard of it! I have heard of "Tiger Fist", "Eagle Claw", "Mantis Fist" and the like that are most commonly practiced by civilian warriors. They are sold on the street! You You are a civilian martial artist, why don’t you practice Tiger Fist?”

Mo Ling looked at Ye Mo doubtfully.

""Wave Cutting Technique" is the lowest-end martial arts, and you can buy it for fifty copper coins. I went to work when I was eight years old, and I earned little money, so I could only buy this to learn, and I never changed it later. I guess it was a practice There are probably far fewer people using "Wave Cutting Technique" than "Tiger Fist" and "Eagle Claw", and it is not very famous. My martial art only has two moves in total."

Ye Mo touched his nose helplessly.

The third move of "Wave Cutting Technique", "Wave Stacking Combo Slash", is an upgraded version of the first move, "Wave Breaking Slash". These two moves are actually the same move, and he has not learned the third move combo yet. .

"You~.. How could you do this? When you practice martial arts, you only practice two moves. It's too easy. Forget it, I'll cut down the spiritual wood. You can just watch and be vigilant. Don't let the wild beasts come near here!"

Mo Ling stared at Ye Mo with a pair of phoenix eyes, extremely disappointed.

Now it became clear to her that Ye Mo was actually learning the lowest level of martial arts, so low that she had never heard of it. Moreover, "Wave Cutting Technique" is so bad that it only has two moves.

Even a rubbish martial art like "Tiger Fist" still has thirty-six moves and one hundred and eight moves, and it will take several years to become proficient in it.

With just these two moves of the lowest level of martial arts, how strong can Ye Mo be?

It seemed that there was no hope at all. She still had to rely on herself to cut down the spiritual trees and resist the sea monsters.

"All right!"

Ye Mo could see Mo Ling's extreme disappointment.

He remained silent and took a few steps back knowingly.

He has been busy practicing martial arts since he was a child, or working part-time to make a living, and basically has no time to fight with other warriors. He is not too sure whether his strength is considered strong or weak among warriors.

As the princess of Donglai County, Mo Ling studied the most advanced martial arts, so her strength should be much stronger than him.

"The first style of Feather Spirit Slash: Flying Feathers!"

Mo Ling held the slender Black Plum Sword, pointed it at one of the spiritual trees, and slashed it down suddenly.

Cold light flashed.

"Dang~~!"

There was a clear golden sound, like cutting on steel, and the dark plum sword left a faint mark on the spiritual tree, which was then shaken away.

Mo Ling was surprised. She couldn't chop down the spiritual tree with one sword, but she could barely cut through a little of the bark of the spiritual tree.

"Is it because I am injured and my strength is insufficient? But it is impossible to drop so much. I am an intermediate martial artist, and I practice advanced martial arts. I have practiced the entire set of martial arts to the point where I am proficient in moves and can display my power!"

Mo Ling's face turned ugly.

"The second style of Feathering Slash: Falling Feather is ruthless!"

She didn't believe it and continued to chop at the spirit tree.

After a full stick of incense and nearly a hundred blows with different moves, she finally made a one-inch-deep gap. She looked increasingly frustrated. According to this progress, she couldn't cut down a single spirit tree in one night, so how could she build a spirit tree fence and build a cave camp?

"It's over! We can't even build a spiritual wood fence to resist the sea monsters. It seems that the princess is going to die on this island, and I won't accept it! I haven't found my grandfather yet, and I haven't started cultivating immortality yet. Why? You can die on this broken island.”

Mo Ling was extremely frustrated, pursed her lips tightly, her eyes were red, and she was almost crying.

Ye Mo has been watching from the side, the corners of his eyes twitching.

He found that only a few of Mo Ling's moves reached the level of "proficient moves", and almost all of the others were at the level of "too bad moves". How should I put it, Mo Ling's swordsmanship is "very weak".

"Oh, it's up to me to do it!"

Ye Mo sighed in his heart, stuck the torch on the ground nearby, drew out the Qingfeng sword from his waist, and slashed at the waist of the spirit tree.

"Breaking waves——!"

A sharp shout.

Bang!

Wood chipping splatter.

The Qingfeng Sword in Ye Mo's hand let out a harsh whistling sound, and struck the spiritual tree with a nearly perfect sword. It slashed deeply along the grain of the spiritual tree, leaving a cut that was an inch deep on the spiritual tree. mark.

"It can be chopped! This spirit wood is indeed extremely hard, even comparable to the crab shell of the young demon crab. Although the spirit wood is extremely hard, it can still be cut if it is chopped down inch by inch."

Ye Mo secretly said.

Thinking of the threat from the young demon crab, Ye Mo increased his strength and continued to chop at the same spot.

After about a short while and dozens of cuts.

"Ka~ka~!"

"boom--!"

A thick first-level spiritual tree was chopped off and fell slowly. With a loud bang, a piece of dead branches and dust were splashed in the jungle.

"It takes about twenty or thirty waves to cut through a spiritual tree that is dozens of inches thick! If I continue to chop like this, my 'Wave Cut' will become a 'Wood-Breaking Cut'."

Ye Mo waved his wrist, feeling a little sour.

Fortunately, he had to practice Breaking Waves thousands of times every day, so it was not too difficult to cut down the spiritual wood.

"Cut it off? So fast! What level has your martial arts moves reached?"

Mo Ling was completely shocked.

Using the lowest level "Wave Cutting Technique", Ye Mo actually cut off such a thick and hard as iron spiritual tree in just a short time. She felt incredible.

"I have practiced the first move of "Wave Cutting Technique" for ten years, ten million times!"

Ye Mo said.

"You have practiced this simplest chopping move ten million times? You have practiced it to the point where you can transform decay into something magical with just one move!?"

Mo Ling was shocked.

According to the level of proficiency in martial arts moves, if you practice each move ten thousand times, your move is too bad and you will be a loser. After practicing a hundred thousand times, you will become proficient in the moves and achieve some success. Those who have practiced a million times will be perfect and can be called first-rate. Practicing five million times is to reach the pinnacle and surpass the first level. Practicing ten million times can turn decay into magic. A generation of masters can only do that.

Martial arts moves lie in proficiency.

The power is naturally very different depending on the level of proficiency.

The vast majority of martial artists practice their moves throughout their lives until they reach the level of proficiency, because there are many moves in martial arts, ranging from dozens to hundreds of moves. It will take at least ten years of hard work to practice all the moves until they are proficient.

No martial artist would practice the lowest martial arts moves to the point where they become magical.

Her set of "Yu Ling Sword Technique" has more than a hundred moves, and each move can only be practiced tens of thousands of times. The best move can only be practiced a hundred thousand times to become "proficient in the moves". The total number of times the moves have been practiced is only a few million times.

Compared to Ye Mo's move that turned decay into something magical, her sword move was much less powerful.

Mo Ling was shocked and looked at Ye Mo with phoenix eyes, as if he were seeing a master-level master. . Although this first-generation master only knows this one move that turns decay into magic.
