Sword Lin of Douluo Continent

Chapter 4 Sword Practice and Obtaining the Soul Ring

the next day!In the Sword God Palace!
Jian Tian was wearing a blue robe, with his hands behind his back, looking at Jian Haolin standing in front of him. "From today onwards, we are going to practice the way of swordsmanship. The practice during this period will be very hard. I hope you can be mentally prepared, Xiaolin," Jian Tianzheng said.

"My grandpa, no matter how hard the practice is, I will definitely persevere," Jian Haolin said firmly.

"Okay!" Jian Tianzheng nodded in satisfaction, "Before starting to practice the way of the sword, Xiao Lin, let me ask you a question first, what do you think the way of the sword is?" Jian Tianzheng stared at Jian Haolin closely.

After thinking about it for a while, Jian Haolin said: "I think the way of sword is the way of using the sword. It is a summary of all the ways of using the sword. When a swordsman has raised his skills to a certain level, it can be called the way of the sword. .”

Jian Tianzheng nodded slightly, "You are right, but there are still some deficiencies. Kendo is indeed a method of using the sword, but the simple use of the sword is not yet called the way of the sword. The so-called way of the sword is not just a simple skill. A swordsman's comprehension and belief in his own way is the swordsman's attachment to his own way, without this attachment, one will never be able to embark on the true path of swordsmanship."

"Is it obsession with the sword?" Jian Haolin murmured, "I understand, Grandpa."

"Well" Jian Tianzheng said lightly, "For you now, these are still far away, but as you go further and further on this road, sooner or later, you will encounter these things. At that time, I hope you It is very important to you to remember what I told you today."

Nodding heavily, Jian Haolin looked at Jian Tianzheng.

"Okay, back to the topic, starting today, you will learn swordsmanship and Wuhun cultivation with me. From now on, you will learn basic swordsmanship with me for two hours every morning, and learn the simple use of Wuhun with me in the afternoon. The rest of the time you You can control it by yourself, as I said before, when you are practicing, you must not be absent-minded, my training is very strict, I hope you will take it seriously."

"Yes, Grandpa."

"Well, let's start today's practice." Jian Tianzheng said lightly: "Sword, it is the king of a hundred soldiers, known as the gentleman of soldiers, the sword does not win by domineering like a knife, nor purely explosive like a hammer The way of the sword is light and agile, and it uses changes to control the enemy. The sword has double edges, which is good for stabbing and can also be used for chopping. There are twelve types of drawing, belting, collapse, and pointing, so the basic moves of swordsmanship are roughly these twelve moves. These twelve moves are the foundation of all swordsmanship. No matter how brilliant the swordsmanship is, it cannot be separated from these Twelve basic sword moves, so you have to practice these twelve basic sword moves until they are proficient."

"Yes, I got it, Grandpa." Jian Haolin nodded.

"So in the future, you will start to practice these twelve basic sword moves. Only when you are proficient in these twelve moves can you start to learn swordsmanship. Swordsmanship practice is not the purpose, but the purpose is to let you understand The essence of the sword, a real swordsman must understand the meaning of the sword in his hand, in order to go further on the road of kendo, well, now I will demonstrate these twelve moves one by one in front of you, and then according to my movements , you can practice by yourself, if you don’t understand anything, you can ask me. In the afternoon, I will take you to get the soul ring and practice martial arts.”

After all, a long sword appeared in Jian Tianzheng's hand, and nine soul rings on it moved slowly. It was the Wuhun Chengtian Sword of the Sword God lineage.Jian Tian held the long sword in his right hand, and performed the twelve moves one by one in front of Jian Haolin.

Jian Haolin watched Jian Tianzheng's movements carefully, and memorized the twelve moves one by one in his mind. Then, he closed his eyes lightly, and performed it in his mind. Jian Haolin drew a wooden sword, and slowly Practice one by one according to memory.

Jian Tian was watching closely, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

afternoon!

Jian Tianzheng took Jian Haolin away from the Sword God Palace, and went to their destination this time, the Hunting Soul Forest. This is the Soul Beast Forest within the influence of the Sword God Palace, and it is the private property of the Sword God Palace.On the Douluo Continent, some huge forces also have their own soul beast forests, but the age of the soul beasts in this kind of private captive soul beast forest is not high, and the highest is only limited to the thousand-year soul beasts. Soul beasts can only be seen in real soul beast gathering places.But the soul hunting forest of Sword God Palace is different. This soul hunting forest has been cultivated by Sword God Palace for thousands of years, and the number of soul masters who have obtained soul rings from it for thousands of years is not many. The resources of soul beasts are very rich, and there are not a few soul beasts of the ten-thousand-year level.

Slowly walking through the forest, Jian Tianzheng said slowly: "Xiaolin, according to my guess, you have the bonus of twin martial souls, and the uninterrupted medicinal baths when you were a child have given you a good workout. Physique, on the basis of twentieth-level soul power, the lifespan of the soul beast you can bear is about 950 to 1000 years. When you obtain the soul ring, you should try to get close to the limit as much as possible. Good for your future."

"Well, grandpa I know." Jian Haolin smiled, and looked around slowly. The surrounding trees are very tall and lush, and there is a faint aura on some trees, which is the existence of soul beasts. .On the Douluo Continent, soul beasts are roughly divided into two types, namely animal soul beasts and plant soul beasts. Compared with animal soul beasts, it is more difficult for plants to cultivate into soul beasts. Relatively, under the same age limit However, plant spirit beasts are often more difficult to deal with.These plant-like soul beasts in front of him only belonged to the ten-year level and were not suitable for him.

Continuing to walk to the interior of the forest, there were more and more soul beasts during the period, and the level gradually changed from ten-year level to century-old soul beasts.The soul beasts here have already met Jian Haolin's minimum standard, so they gradually slowed down and started looking for suitable soul beasts.His eyes kept shifting, Jian Haolin was trying to find a soul beast suitable for him, Jian Tianzheng let go of his perception, one by one soul beasts swept before his eyes, with his spiritual power, this piece of soul beast Nothing in the forest is hidden.A hundred years, a thousand years, Jian Tianzheng passed by one by one, suddenly, his figure stopped, and his breath locked on a soul beast, which was about five miles to the northwest of them.

"Follow me, Xiaolin", Jian Tianzheng grabbed Jian Haolin, his figure flashed, and they arrived at their destination a moment later.What came into view was a blue leopard exuding a dangerous aura. It is not accurate to say that it is a leopard. It is different from ordinary leopards. The sharp claws are shining with a sharp cold light, and the sharp teeth can bite through steel. This kind of soul beast is called Leibao.The leopard in front of me is about three meters long, and the average century-old leopard is about two meters long. After that, every hundred years, the length will increase by ten centimeters. The leopard in front of me is close to a thousand-year-old leopard. For, just right for Jian Haolin.
