Chapter 169 The Art of Drawing a Sword

Looking at the more than 2,200 chivalrous points remaining on the panel, Chu Tang felt that it was time to work on his spells.

As for fighting martial arts, the more skills you have, the more the better.

Taking a closer look, he doesn't know much fighting skills.

From the current point of view, the most powerful one should be the Great Shift of the Universe, followed by the Yiyang Finger, which are all extracted from the second layer of the panel.

In addition, there are the first-level Blood Sword Technique, Quanzhen Sword Technique, and Seven Injury Fist.

There is also the Thirty-six Soul-Severing Knife styles learned from reality - this can be ignored now, it is a crappy thing.

The martial arts on the first level are all at the perfect state.

However, the Great Shift of the Universe and the Yiyang Finger are only entry-level.

"Of these two martial arts, you can consider upgrading one first." Chu Tang thought for a while and decided to spend his chivalry points on the former.

His combat power soared as soon as he entered the Great Shift of the Universe. Once he reaches a higher level, his combat power will be even higher.

What are you waiting for!

"Upgrade!" Chu Tang made some operations.

Suddenly, white light flashed.

The world has moved greatly, and it has become a small success!

"Tsk!" Chu Tang closed his eyes and realized it, and found that all the doubts he had about the Great Shift of the Universe were untied, like a knotted rope. Once it was untied, a lot of knowledge became much clearer and smoother.

The beginning of the Great Shift of the Universe can be regarded as roughly mastering the characteristics of this magical skill. You can offload your strength, borrow your strength, or fight back.

However, the techniques are very rough and the methods are even more blunt. It is absolutely easy to bully people with low level, and there is no problem in beating people of the same level. But once you encounter someone with higher skill and level than him, many methods will not work. If you are harmonious and smooth, you may hurt yourself before you hurt others.

It's different now. He has more understanding of the Great Shift and has mastered more detailed methods.

For example, the words Qian and Kun are not simply Yin and Yang.

There are yin and yang in heaven and earth, which is the essence, but there are five elements besides yin and yang.

It is said that Tao gives birth to one, gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things.

Another example is that Tai Chi generates two rituals, two rituals generate four images, and four images generate Bagua...

All these things eventually return to the word Qiankun.

As long as you grasp the essence of the universe and understand the mystery of the two qi of heaven and earth, then whether you move with the trend or reverse the universe, it only takes a thought.

The more profound it is, the more it can reflect the subtlety of the Great Shift of the Universe. It is simply becoming newer every day, and always newer with constant practice.

The kind of happiness brought by the Xiaocheng realm almost made Chu Tang unable to help but continue to rapidly upgrade the Great Shift of the Universe.

"Hold it, hold it!" Chu Tang stopped his inner impulse with great perseverance.

There are only more than 1,400 points of chivalry left, and no matter how hard you tinker with the Great Shift of the Universe, you can't upgrade it to perfection.

Chu Tang felt that this small magic skill was enough to cope with many situations.

In this way, it seems that Dacheng's great shift in the universe is not so urgent.

"One thousand four hundred, let's try out a new technique." Chu Tang already had a suspicion.

As the saying goes, art is not a burden!

He immediately spent another 800 points of chivalry and clicked on the second-level spell column.

Uh-huh!

A dazzling white light flashed in Chu Tang's eyes, a martial arts poured into his mind, and the initiation was completed immediately.

He opened his eyes suddenly and was surprised: "Bad Sword Technique?!"

I saw a new "Sword Drawing Technique" in the spell column on the panel, and it was also noted that Fu Hongxue's Dacheng version of the sword technique was added at the back.

"Buying cakes, it's a good thing that there is no word "Zhan Tian" in front of "Ba Dao Shu", otherwise I wouldn't know how to face the world." Chu Tang laughed at himself.

Apart from being happy, I was also a little shocked——

The sword-drawing technique known as the fastest sword in the world!

What shocked him the most was that the panel was a huge investment. Instead of giving him the version of Miserable Fu when he was young, it directly taught him the sword skills he had achieved in his middle age.

What is this concept?

Some people commented that his knife was faster than lightning. When faced with this knife, the person was hit before he could react.

And how simple is this trick?

Just draw the knife, chop the knife, and put the knife away!

Pulling, cutting and closing are just three movements, incredibly simple.

However, this simple action is the essence accumulated over time.

When Fu Hongxue was young, he said that he had been practicing such movements for 17 years, day and night, without fail.

Seventeen years of hard work condensed this sword, which was used to draw the sword. After that, he fought rampantly in the world, with almost no enemies in Yihe.

The power of that style that has been perfected since middle age is even more unimaginable and indescribable.

This sword technique is undoubtedly powerful. It is almost no longer a technical sword technique, but involves a spiritual technique.

If it was the younger version of Fu Hongxue's sword-drawing technique, Chu Tang could understand it. He didn't expect the panel to be so generous this time, contrary to its usual fussy appearance, and to tinker with such a magical sword for him!

Too excited to control himself, Chu Tang jumped up from the bed, came to the room, and picked up his magic weapon Yitian.

For some reason, once the divine weapon was acquired, the weapon that he could usually pull out at will became as heavy as a thousand pounds, making it impossible for him to pull it out easily.

It's not that he can't pull it out, but there is a voice in his heart calling him, can't pull it out, can't pull it out, don't pull out the knife easily!

As soon as you pull it out, it will be effective, and you will see blood with one cut!

"This..." A thin layer of sweat broke out on Chu Tang's forehead. He held the handle of the knife tightly with his right hand. The veins on his arm swelled and his fingers turned white.

There was an unspeakable depression in his heart, and he almost shouted loudly to vent the sadness welling up from his heart.

"What's wrong with me?" Chu Tang had a fear of being unable to control himself.

"No! I am the master of this magic weapon! How can I be driven by the magic weapon!" Chu Tang yelled in his heart.

He took a deep breath, and circulated the stronger Qi of the Wedding Clothes Magic Skill through his limbs and bones. Suddenly, his blood surged, his heart was hot, and his whole body felt dry, dispelling the traces of sadness that surged up in his heart.

After a long while, he calmed down, released his right hand that was holding the handle of the knife, and looked down at the magic weapon Yitian, feeling dazed for a while.

Slowly, he closed his eyes again and experienced the essence of the sword drawing technique.

In my mind, a picture emerged: a man dressed all in black, standing in the dark night, holding a long black knife, stood there for a long time, and then, with a clang, the long knife was unsheathed, and a white light flashed. Then, like lightning striking in the dark night, a terrifying and despairing knife was struck!

call out!

Only the roar of the sword was heard, the void was torn apart, and the entire space was torn apart. The night sky was even more terrifyingly dark.

Then, the night sky disappeared and the people disappeared.

Chu Tang woke up and was covered in cold sweat.

The picture in his mind was clearly imprinted in the depths of his memory, making it indelible.

He remembered the sword, the lightning-like sword light, and even the sight of the sword tearing through the void.

However, he just couldn't remember that person's face.

Although she was standing in front of him, she couldn't see his face clearly. It seemed that all her attention and energy were poured into that knife.

There is nothing else but the sword!

"Is this the sword-drawing technique?" Chu Tang murmured.

Once again, Chu Tang held the handle of the divine weapon with his right hand, and his whole demeanor suddenly changed.

People are silent, and so is the knife, but there is a majestic power brewing, waiting for the earth-shattering moment!

The determination and grace of that white light came to Chu Tang's mind again.

He pursed his lips tightly and held the handle of the knife harder. He looked at the table in front of him as if he were seeing an enemy - a dead man.

Suddenly, he moved!

Only a clang sound was heard, draw the knife, chop the knife, put the knife away!

Uh-huh!

The white light flashed and disappeared into the ancient wooden table in the middle of the room.

During this period, there was only a faint sound of wind passing by, and then everything returned to calm.

Chu Tang opened his eyes, released his hand from the handle of the knife, and looked at the table in front of him quietly.

The table remained motionless, as if nothing had changed.

Chu Tang took half a step back slightly, his face turned a little pale, his whole body seemed to have had most of its strength drained away, and his spirit was also much sluggish.

After one stab, he felt a sense of weakness!

"That's not quite right..." Chu Tang frowned, "I just used the Wedding Clothes Divine Skill to activate the sword-drawing technique, and this magical skill is best at fighting for a long time, but with just one sword, it was like a fierce battle for most of the day. Nearly half of the skill?"

How to describe that feeling?

It was as if the body had suddenly been drained of energy!

This is definitely not common sense.

Chu Tang's anxiety was filled with a hint of excitement: "There is only one explanation, it was a stabbing in a mental state!"

Only when he is mentally depressed can he become so depressed!

The realm of martial arts involves the spiritual level, that is... Shi!

Only the potential of the upper three realms can draw away spiritual power!

"Could it be said that the sword-drawing technique just now exerted great power?" Chu Tang couldn't believe it.

However, he himself has not sensed the state of mental control. He just doesn't know how people feel when facing this knife?

The table in front of me is a dead object, with no feeling, no movement, and nothing to observe.

"Don't be anxious, take your time. Now that my mental strength is stronger and my spiritual consciousness is more tenacious, I will find the trick sooner or later!" Chu Tang warned himself and gradually calmed down.

He took a deep breath, circulated the Nine Yin Manual's true energy, and adjusted the heaven and earth. As the inner energy circulated, his body quickly recovered.

"Fortunately, the Sword Drawing Technique is not the kind of trick where the body will be wasted if a single hit fails, and the body can only be slaughtered." Chu Tang breathed a sigh of relief.

He could feel that in his peak state, with the sword-drawing technique like just now, he could cut more than a dozen times in a row!

As for the sword-drawing technique, every blow will be bloody!

"No wonder as long as I use this sword technique, I feel a compulsion not to pull out the sword easily, as if the sword is brewing something in the sheath just for that one blow!"

If you think about it carefully, it seems to be the same truth: only when the sword is in the sheath, there are endless possibilities; once the sword is out of the sheath, it attracts people's attention and it is difficult to defeat the enemy by surprise.

"But you can't use this sword skill too much, otherwise your energy and strength will be exhausted too quickly." Chu Tang smiled bitterly, "This should be related to my realm not being high enough. Spirit, momentum, seven realms... I'm afraid Tao Ying didn't say it too accurately. , Momentum not only depends on enlightenment, but also requires strong realm skills to support it!"

Realm is fundamental.

A tree without roots and water without a source cannot last long.

Picking up the magic weapon Yitian, Chu Tang stroked it for a while and sighed: "Yitian Yitian, I'm afraid you will have to drink countless blood in the future."

Chu Tang thought about how blood would really flow when the sword-drawing technique was used in the future.

"But, what the heck, I'm a soldier. If you're a thief, I'll kill him!" Chu Tang sneered.

Putting down the magic weapon, he slowly walked to the table, gently picked up the history book that had been placed on the corner of the table, and said rejoicing: "I was careless, the knife just now...Fortunately, the book was not damaged, otherwise It’s hard to explain to the academy!”

Just as he was talking, there was a bang, and the solid wood table that had remained motionless for a moment suddenly separated from it and collapsed to the ground.

The sound of squeaking was extremely loud in the middle of the night, making Chu Tang's heart skip a few beats.

When he looked down, he saw that the table had been split straight from the middle and fell to the tabletops on both sides, allowing people to clearly see the knife marks.

To be precise, no knife marks can be seen, the cut surface is very smooth, not even a trace of wood dust can be seen, and even the traces of the growth rings seem to have been polished, as smooth and bright as paint.

This table was obviously cut open by Chu Tang's knife just now. Why can't there be any knife marks?

Without him, the sword is sharp!

Like a vertical needle falling into a lake, it’s too fast to cause even a single ripple!

"It is indeed the fastest sword in the world!" Chu Tang murmured.

The sword-drawing technique that you have just started is almost as good as this. How fast will the sword-fighting technique be after you have perfected it?

Faster than the human gaze?

Faster than lightning?

The upper limit of this sword skill is really high!

Chu Tang couldn't help but look forward to seeing what it would look like after it was completed.

To be honest, if it weren't for the shyness of the chivalry value on the panel, he would have upgraded this sword skill to the highest level on the spot.

"Perhaps, this sword technique will become a big killing move for me in the future!" Chu Tang pondered for a while, "I really can't show it to others easily."

After being complacent, Chu Tang lowered his head and saw the chopped table. Chu Tang's head hurt: "How should I explain tomorrow? The table was broken open by itself in the middle of the night? Dean Tao can't be stingy enough to ask me to compensate, right?"

After I smiled bitterly, I looked at the sky again, and I didn’t know how late it was.

He wanted to practice the upgraded Great Shift, but he had no choice but to give up the idea and went back to bed. He was so excited about his new martial arts that he couldn't sleep either.

It's not even possible to go out for a walk in the middle of the night.

I have no choice but to meditate slowly and enter concentration, circulate the true energy of the Nine Yin Meridians, continue to flush the eight extraordinary meridians, strengthen the bones, improve the qualifications, exercise the spirit, and polish the strength.

I don’t know how long it took to practice. After the inner energy circulated for several weeks, when Chu Tang woke up again, it was already dark.

The east is whitening, and the red morning sun has revealed a small part of its head, awakening all things in the world.

Chu Tang also stood up and fetched water outside the wing to wash up.

As soon as he finished wiping his face, a woman in her late forties walked up to him, saluted and said good morning, Mr. Chu.

Chu Tang recognized her. She took care of Tao Ying when she returned to the academy the day before yesterday.

Tao Ying introduced this person at that time, saying that she was an old maid of the Tao family, and that Dean Tao had been taken care of by her since she was a child.

Chu Tang could tell on the spot that this woman looked ordinary in appearance, but both her aura and the strength of her hands and feet were extremely amazing, and she was definitely not an ordinary person.

He guessed that the other party was at least in the late middle third realm.

Five realms?

Or six realms?

I can’t tell, but it should not be lower than the fifth realm!

An old maid from the Tao family has such a cultivation level, which shows the heritage of the Tao family in Qingcheng!

Faced with such a person, Chu Tang naturally would not look down on her because of her status, and hurriedly saluted.

"Mr. Chu, my lady will be taking exams for students in the front yard of the academy today. Please come and visit." The woman explained her purpose.

Chu Tang was surprised: "Why do you ask a rough guy named Chu to get involved in the elegant affairs of you literati?"

The woman replied: "Miss Chu said that Mr. Chu must attend!"

Chu Tang wanted to refuse, but thinking of the damaged table in the house, he couldn't say anything, so he could only nod and agree, and then said: "Chu was practicing martial arts in the house last night and accidentally cut down a table. He also asked the girl to help clean it up. . Don’t worry, Chu will compensate according to the price.”

I called her girl because I heard Tao Ying say that although this girl is old, she is still unmarried and has always been an old girl!

The woman smiled lowly and said, "How much is an old table worth? Compensation is too much. Mr. Chu will go have breakfast first. I'll go in and clean up if it's convenient."

Chu Tang said: "I don't have much, so there's nothing inconvenient for me. Girl, feel free to come in."

"Yes." The woman nodded, and once again asked Chu Tang to have a meal first, and then go to the front yard as soon as possible so that no one else could wait.

After Chu Tang carried the magic weapon Shi Shiran away, she walked into the house with the door wide open. When she lowered her head, she saw the table split in two and lying on the ground.

Taking two steps closer and seeing clearly where the tables were separated, she paused and her pupils shrank.

"These shaved noodles..." The woman looked around in shock, looked around, and then struck the table several times with both hands.

After a few crashes, the table fell into pieces and scattered on the ground.

She first packed up part of the wooden tabletop, carried it outside to the yard, and threw it aside.

Then, he turned around and picked up the tabletop with knife marks, quickly returned to the backyard, and found Tao Ying who was about to go out.

"Miss, look at this table!" The woman presented the wooden table top to Tao Ying on the spot like a treasure.
