Chapter 2: Proficiency Increases
Dugu Jiujian! ?
Is that Dugu Jiujian?
Eighth-grade martial arts!
In Longxing Martial Arts School, there are only a handful of eighth-grade martial arts. Even a ninth-grade instructor may not be qualified to learn them.
And this is only one move, and it is already an eighth-grade martial arts!
If it is a full set, wouldn’t it be seventh-grade?
It is said that Longxing Martial Arts School only has one seventh-grade martial arts, which is the private teaching of the owner and will never be passed on to others...
This is the golden finger! ?
System!
Zhou Heng was really excited this time!
Two and a half years!
Three years will pass in the blink of an eye!
God has mercy on me. Some other time travelers have become gods and immortals in two and a half years, but he is still just an apprentice in a small martial arts school!
It’s not that I don’t work hard.
It’s just that the plug-in hasn’t arrived yet!
Why are you here just now!
Zhou Heng was planning to study this system to see how to practice the "Dugu Jiujian" that the lucky bag opened, but suddenly saw a tall and burly figure walking over.
This is a middle-aged man who looks to be in his forties. He has a regular face and a very strong physique. He is wearing a black suit that all martial arts teachers wear. He looks like a small black mountain when he stands there.
He is Zhou Heng's teacher at Longxing Martial Arts School.
Ninth-rank martial artist.
Lin Cang.
"Xiao Zhou, did you just have an epiphany?" Lin Cang's expression was extremely pleasantly surprised. "I just saw you practicing the sword, and your moves suddenly became perfect and flawless, and then you were stunned for a long time. Did you have an epiphany?"
In fact, I just got the plug-in... Zhou Heng smiled in his heart, then nodded, "Well, just now I felt that my head was empty, and the sword skills were running smoothly."
At the same time, he looked around and found that more than a dozen people had returned to the originally empty hall, all looking at him with envy.
Only seventeen years old, practicing martial arts for two years, a ninth-rank martial arts mastered!
This is not ordinary!
This means that Zhou Heng is likely to step into the ninth rank before the age of twenty!
Usually this situation only occurs in large martial arts schools in county cities or some large families and sects with a long history.
It can be called quasi-ninth rank!
In a place like Huangtong Mansion, this is too rare.
If Zhou Heng can really reach the ninth rank before the age of 20, it will be of great benefit to Longxing Martial Arts Hall and Lin Cang.
"Good! Good! Good! We have a genius in Longxing! Haha!"
Lin Cang excitedly said three good words, very happy. He turned his palm and took a stance, saying: "Xiao Zhou, come on, go all out, let me see how far you are from the ninth rank."
Ninth rank warriors are essentially still at the level of tempering the body and tempering strength. It is impossible to know what level others have reached at a glance.
It will be clear after the fight.
"Good!"
Zhou Heng nodded. He also wanted to try what level his strength is at now.
When everyone heard this, they quickly dispersed and made way for a large open space.
For such things, people should be happy to hear and see. On the one hand, they can watch the excitement, and on the other hand, they can find their own shortcomings.
However, everyone is young and can't help but whisper.
"Master Lin is going to fight Zhou Heng with bare hands?"
"That's normal. Master Lin was already a ninth-rank master more than ten years ago. If he used weapons, Zhou Heng would have no chance of winning."
"What are you thinking? Master Lin is checking Zhou Heng's strength, not competing for victory or defeat. Zhou Heng has only been practicing martial arts for two years!"
"That's right. Although he is a genius, it would be good if he could hold out for a few more moves against Master Lin."
The result of the discussion is very real.
It's also normal.
At this moment, a slender figure walked into the martial arts hall.
"Hey, Miss Xiu'er, why are you here?"
Someone spotted her.
"Ah, Brother Heng gave me two more coins, so I gave them to him." Yun Xiu smiled and spread out her fair palm, which contained two coins.
I wouldn't say that I wanted to see Brother Heng practicing martial arts!
Yun Xiu looked around again and asked in confusion, "What's going on? Is Master Lin going to test Brother Heng's kung fu?"
"Yes, that's right." Yu He nodded and said, "Zhou Heng has just practiced a ninth-grade sword technique to perfection. Master Lin wants to test how far he is from the ninth grade."
"A ninth-grade sword technique that has been perfected?" Yun Xiu was surprised. Her beautiful eyes widened and she looked at Zhou Heng with shock. "Too amazing! He, he... I remember that Brother Heng has only been practicing martial arts for two years."
There are not many such people in the big martial arts halls in the county city!
"Hey, Zhou Heng is a genius." Yu He smiled.
"Look! It's started!"
"Great sword technique!"
"Awesome! Zhou Heng!"
Suddenly, exclamations rang out around him.
Zhou Heng stepped forward quickly and came to Lin Cang in an instant. The blade in his palm cut through the air, like a white line, and slashed towards Lin Cang with the force of splitting a mountain!
This knife was extremely fast!
It surprised Lin Cang a little.
However, he was a ninth-rank warrior after all, and his combat experience was not comparable to Zhou Heng's. When Zhou Heng chopped the knife, his right palm suddenly came out from under his armpit!
"Be careful!" Lin Cangli shouted!
Clang! !
Like the collision of metal and iron, his palm hit the side of the long knife in Zhou Heng's palm!
Zhou Heng immediately felt that the knife in his hand was hit by a mountain. The terrifying force made the blade vibrate violently and almost slipped out of his hand.
This is the power of a ninth-rank warrior!
When the people around saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel nervous. Zhou Heng wouldn't be defeated by such a move.
Is the gap between the unqualified and the ninth grade so big?
Buzz!
At this moment, there was a trembling sound of the knife. It was Zhou Heng who threw the blade in his hand and transferred the force on the blade to himself.
At the same time, he stomped his feet hard to release the force!
Boom! !
The removed Lin Cang's force and Zhou Heng's force collided on the floor of the martial arts hall!
Zhou Heng resolved Lin Cang's palm, but his movements did not stop!
At the moment of releasing the force, he took advantage of the recoil force of the stomping and rushed forward!
Once again!
Swing the knife!
Swish! !
The air was directly cut open!
The knife light, like a thread, with the light red glow of the morning, slashed towards Lin Cang, who had just slapped out and had not yet retracted the force!
"Not bad!"
Lin Cang praised, turned his feet, and immediately avoided Zhou Heng's knife, while at the same time widening the distance between the two.
Temporarily avoid the edge!
This scene made the people around dumbfounded, and they all stared at Zhou Heng in amazement.
Damn!
He didn't lose! ?
He even slashed with a knife to force Master Lin to retreat!
Is this the perfect ninth-grade sword technique?
Zhou Heng is too strong.
He has only practiced martial arts for two years!
"Too awesome!" Yun Xiu's excited face flushed.
She clenched her white fists, restraining her intention to punch Zhou Heng to cheer him up.
"So strong!" Yu He was also a little confused.
He entered the martial arts gym with Zhou Heng to practice martial arts. Only two years have passed, and the strength of the two has become so different.
Maybe... Sun Zhengping may not be his opponent?
Zhou Heng was also very excited now, but it was not because of the praise from the people around him, nor because he was able to briefly gain the upper hand in the competition with Lin Cang.
It was because in the brief fight just now, he received a series of system prompts!
"You are using the martial arts "Twelve-Way Mountain-Splitting Sword Technique" [9th Rank] to attack, proficiency +1."
"Lin Cang is using the martial arts "Eighteen Styles of Divine Power" [9th Rank] to attack you, you successfully parry, your proficiency of "Eighteen Styles of Divine Power" +0.05."
"You are using the martial arts "Longxing Internal Strength Posture" [9th Rank] to defuse the attack, proficiency +1."
"Lin Cang is using the martial arts "Eighteen Styles of Divine Power" [9th Rank] to attack you, you successfully parry, your proficiency of "Eighteen Styles of Divine Power" +0.06."
