Start from the Martial Arts

"By the way, I'm seventeen years old."

Fang Xiu suddenly remembered that today is the tenth day of the fifth lunar month, his birthday.

"There are still three years to go."

The fate of [dying young] must be removed on the ninth day of the fifth lunar month of the third year.

"I don't know how much my learning and comprehension abilities have improved... I should be able to learn the second style of the Swift Wind Kick, the Grass in the Wind, in a while."

The first style of the Swift Wind Kick, Catching the Wind and Shadows, although it significantly improves speed after practice, this style does not have lethality and is a simple body technique.

The second style, Grass in the Wind, is based on the first style, Catching the Wind and Shadows, with two more variations.

From a simple body technique, it has evolved into a very lethal leg technique.

According to the eldest brother Li Shan, if you are proficient in Catching the Wind and Shadows and Grass in the Wind, you will be able to use it at the level of Yi Jin.

Especially the Grass in the Wind, if you practice it to the extreme, you can directly practice strength.

Moreover, the Strong Grass in the Wind and the third style of the Thunder Fist, Thunderous Wind, can be used in combination. If they are practiced to the extreme, it is expected that both the Gale Power and the Thunder Power can be practiced at the same time.

The power practiced together can achieve a balance regardless of priority.

The power practiced in sequence will be strong or weak, and it will not be smooth when used.

It is said that Li Feixiong, the owner of the Sanjue Martial Arts School, used the Strong Grass in the Wind and Thunderous Wind to practice the Gale Power and the Thunder Power at the same time in his early years. Later, he practiced the wind and thunder dark power, and was known as the "Wind and Thunder Double Unique" in the martial arts world.

"The three uniques are combined into one, and you can enter the innate."

Fang Xiu remembered what Li Shan had said to him before.

There are very few innate martial arts.

The martial arts that can be practiced to the Bone Forging Realm are close to the first-class martial arts, which is extremely precious.

And possessing innate martial arts is enough to establish a school.

However, it seems that except for the founder, the old man Sanjue, no one has successfully combined the three uniques into one and entered the Grandmaster Realm.

Fang Xiu seriously suspected that Sanjue Martial Arts School might be flattering him. Maybe even Sanjue himself had never succeeded.

"Ice Palm is too difficult. Don't rush to learn it for now. It's enough to master Thunder Fist and Gale Kick for now."

Fang Xiu planned to wait for a year or two, and then practice the most difficult Ice Palm to prevent affecting the speed of breaking through.

There is no such thing as a deep or deep foundation in practicing external skills.

As long as there is no obvious damage to the body, the sooner the breakthrough, the better.

Fang Xiu returned to the room and washed his face, and immediately went to Sanjue Martial Arts School to find Li Shan to learn the second style of the Gale Kick, Grass in the Wind.

......

In the evening, Fang Xiu went home.

He saw a young man wearing a linen shirt, straw sandals, and a bamboo basket on his waist standing at the door.

"Brother Fang."

"Brother Bai." Seeing Bai Xing dressed like this, Fang Xiu understood why he hadn't seen him all day.

"Brother Fang, this is the red blood carp I promised to give you." Bai Xing lowered his voice and patted the fish basket gently.

Fang Xiu's eyes lit up. He didn't expect Bai Xing to be so efficient.

"This is not a place to talk. Let's go in and talk." He opened the door and took Bai Xing into the house.

"Brother Fang, your house is really big." Bai Xing followed Fang Xiu to the courtyard and couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother Bai, come in and have a cup of tea." Fang Xiu came to the corridor.

"No, my shoes are all muddy and my clothes are rotten. I'll wait in the yard." Bai Xing handed the fish basket to Fang Xiu and insisted on not going in.

Fang Xiu could only let him go. Looking at the somewhat wilted red blood carp in the fish basket, he hurried to the kitchen and raised it with water.

"This loquat fruit is really good."

When Fang Xiu returned to the front yard, Bai Xing was standing under the loquat tree on the left side of the yard, looking at the orange-yellow fruits on it.

"Brother Bai likes it, just pick some and take it back to eat." Fang Xiu returned the fish basket to Bai Xing.

"Is it okay?" Bai Xing asked with a smile.

"My father planted this loquat tree before he died. I don't like loquats, and it's a waste if no one eats them. Junior Brother Bai can pick them all." Fang Xiu pointed at the loquats that fell into the soil and rotted.

"Then you're welcome, Junior Brother." Bai Xing picked a loquat, wiped it on his clothes, and took a bite.

"It's so sweet!"

Bai Xing ate a loquat in two or three bites, then took off his shirt and started picking loquats, mumbling to Fang Xiu while picking.

"That year, my family ran out of food, and it was the loquats that my father stole that kept me alive."

When Bai Xing finished picking the loquats on the left, Fang Xiu asked him to pick the loquats on the right.

"Eh? Senior Brother Fang, why are the loquats on this tree much smaller and not sweet?" Bai Xing said in surprise.

Fang Xiu looked at the bottom of the loquat tree on the left and said quietly, "Maybe I forgot to take care of it when watering and fertilizing."

"Well, this much is enough." Bai Xing did not continue to pick the loquats on the right.

"If you like it, come back next year. Maybe the fruits of the two trees will be the same by then." Fang Xiu smiled.

"It's hard to say whether there will be a next year..." Bai Xing sighed, "When I went back to the county tonight, I met Jiang Ming. Fortunately, the red-blooded carp was not discovered."

"There is no way. This is the way of the world. I can only endure it for the time being." Fang Xiu said in a deep voice.

"Brother Fang, I'm leaving first. There are still some things at home. I have to go back to the fishing village again." Bai Xing said.

"I'll take you." Fang Xiu nodded.

"No need, Brother Fang, please stay." Bai Xing tied up his clothes, picked up the fish basket, and left the courtyard.

'I hope we won't become enemies. ' Fang Xiu watched Bai Xing leave.

If Bai Xing had no evil intentions towards him, he would be willing to join forces with Bai Xing to solve Jiang Ming, the potential hidden danger.

"With the red-blooded carp, the progress of cultivation can be accelerated again."

Fang Xiu came back to his senses. He had practiced the Wind Leg for a day and needed to replenish his Qi and blood. The red-blooded carp was delivered at the right time.

Fang Xiu returned to the kitchen and began to process the red-blooded carp, removing the internal organs and draining the fish blood.

The last time he ate the red-blooded carp, he was reluctant to drain the fish blood, and the taste left a deep impression on Fang Xiu.

Now that he is much more financially comfortable, there is no need to endure the fishy smell that goes straight to the sky for the little Qi and blood contained in the fish blood.

Working hard to cultivate and make money are all for a better life.

Fang Xiu is willing to endure hardships, but he will not endure them without hardship.

This time, he added a lot of seasonings to the fish soup. Not to mention cooking fish meat, even cooking tree bark would not be too unpalatable.

After a big pot of fish soup, Fang Xiu continued to practice when his Qi and blood began to become active.

Without the green bamboo tea, the growth rate of the true qi has indeed slowed down a lot.

Fortunately, the Hunyuan true qi has an auxiliary effect on the practice of external skills, and his qi and blood are growing faster.

......

More than a month has passed quietly.

Time soon came to the end of June, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter.

In the evening, Fang Xiu, who was sweating all over, returned home and took a shower with water, but still felt very hot.

He missed air conditioning and ice cream.

"Wait until dark before going to the river to wash."

Fang Xiu thought of the moat not far from his home.

"By the way, the time for changing the fate has passed, and it's a good time to see the effect of [Fate with Water]."

Fang Xiu's heart moved, and he calmed down and changed the [One Shot into the Soul] fate on the third page of the Book of Destiny to [Fate with Water].

[Owner: Fang Xiu (first level)]

[Borrower: Yang An]

[Fate: Water in fate]

[Rank: White, first level]

[Effect: You have a connection with water in your life, and are more familiar with water than others, and are more adept at learning water-related skills (can be improved)]

"So-so..."

Fang Xiu looked at the effect of the fate and nodded secretly.

He was familiar with water in his previous life, and finally drowned while saving someone.

His original body was a landlubber.

With this fate, he can get familiar with water again.

"Is the Ice Palm considered a water-attributed skill?"

Fang Xiu suddenly had an idea.

"Let's learn to swim again first." Fang Xiu didn't think about it any more.

At night, he walked out of the house, and seeing that there was no one around, he went down to the moat.

After entering the water, he felt comfortable all over, not only because of the coolness brought by the river water, but more of a sense of freedom like "fish in water".

Fang Xiu found the feeling and immediately dived down.

"Gulp! Gulp!"

After an unknown amount of time, a large number of bubbles rose from the calm river water.

"Huh!"

Fang Xiu surfaced and breathed in fresh air.

He returned home and looked at the bamboo tube water drop timer in the courtyard pond.

"Just over two quarters of an hour!"

Fang Xiu was surprised. He didn't expect that he could hold his breath underwater for half an hour with the help of Hunyuan Qi. In his previous life, he could easily break the world record.

The key point is that he swam underwater for a while at the beginning, not standing still.

If he stayed still underwater, he could hold his breath longer.

"If I encounter a strong enemy, I can dive into the water and the opponent won't be able to do anything to me."

Fang Xiu thought to himself.

If he really gets into the water, even a Ming Jin martial artist will be greatly restricted.

If he is not familiar with water, a great martial artist will suffer.

Fang Xiu feels it is necessary to practice the skills of holding breath underwater in a targeted manner.

......

Ten days later.

Fang Xiu went to the martial arts hall as usual.

As soon as he arrived at the backyard, he felt that the atmosphere was not right.

After asking, he found out that three days ago, Chang Suqing failed to break through the tendon barrier.

He was confident of his superior bones and wanted to learn from the master Li Feixiong to condense the thunder and wind at the same time, but he failed at the critical moment and his blood and qi were greatly damaged.

Fortunately, he was still young, and he took blood essence ginseng when he broke through the barrier, so he did not hurt his roots.

If he rested and exercised for a while, he could make up for his blood and qi.

"Sure enough... Even if the wind is favorable, you can't be careless!"

Fang Xiu sighed in his heart.
