Arknights is too real, right?

【Sad Autumn Leaving Rain】.

The name of this sword skill is a bit poetic, and at the same time, it's a bit off-kilter, but Xia Feng has no doubt about the power of this move.

According to Xiao Yunye, [Sad Autumn Liyu] was created by his ancestor Xiao Li. Xiao Li was the first head of the Qingyun Sect in the Yan Kingdom, and was also the number one member of the Xiao family who accompanied Xina in her search for the Styx a hundred years ago. people.

In other words, the swordsmanship passed down from generation to generation in the Xiao family all originated from Xiao Li. Of course, there may be some strengths or weaknesses due to differences in personal talents, but there is nothing wrong with the strength of the swordsmanship itself.

And Xiao Yunye is undoubtedly the strongest man in the history of the Xiao family, because he was the only one who dared to call himself the number one swordsman of the Yan Kingdom when he was young, which made the world unable to refute him.

Now that Xiao Yunye has long resigned as the head of the Qingyun Sect, but the swordsmanship he masters is purer than the Pure Source Stone, Xia Feng is of course excited with stars in his eyes.

"Master Xiao, I will definitely study hard. Let's start quickly."

"good."

According to Xiao Yunye, [Sad Autumn Liyu] is the simplest move among the twelve sword skills of Qingyun Sect, and is also called the entry move.

This move is based on the three key points of drawing a sword, which are fastness, accuracy and stability.

Xia Feng didn't have the slightest foundation in swordsmanship and could only chop randomly with the Shenyue Sword. Therefore, he needed to practice basic skills first.

But the swordsmanship competition is about to start next week, and he doesn't have time to practice bit by bit. What he needs is a hellish raid. Even if the learning method is unscientific, he must strive for a short-term quick success first.

"Click, click, click, snap, snap!"

Xiao Yunye trimmed the bamboos piled up in the courtyard in a few seconds and built a bamboo frame.

Taking a steel needle, Xiao Yunye poked a small hole in the bamboo and poured water into another opening on it.

"Tick tock!"

Water droplets fall from the small holes one drop at a time, maintaining a frequency of almost one drop every 2 seconds.

After completing the device, Xiao Yunye looked at Xia Feng.

"Use your Shenyue Sword to try to chop off the water droplets as they fall until there is no more complete water droplets falling. The weather is very cold now. Try to try your best before the water freezes."

Xia Feng understood that this move was about practicing a quick word, and at the same time, it also included precise insight. Not only did the eyes have to capture the trajectory of the water droplets, but the movements of the hands also had to follow.

"Okay, I understand."

"Well, are you ready?"

Xia Feng drew out the Shenyue Sword and took a stance.

"Ready."

"let's start."

After that, Xiao Yunye placed a piece of smooth white paper directly under the water drop. As long as a complete drop of water fell on the paper, it meant that it was unqualified.

Xia Feng held his breath and concentrated like a mantis catching its prey.

"Uh-huh!"

With a flash of cold light, the blade flicked a drop of water falling in the air away like lightning, without even a single splash on the white paper below.

Xiao Yunye nodded.

"Good, continue."

Even leaving aside the black and white twins, Xia Feng is now considered a half-master, and his physique and strength have grown more than a little bit.

For this kind of practice of cutting water droplets with a knife, he is still able to do it with ease.

Room on the second floor of the villa.

Nancy, who had just gotten up, opened the curtains.

When she saw Xia Feng in the yard, she muttered in confusion.

"What is Xia Feng hacking at the air this morning?"

This exercise seems simple, but is actually boring and torturous.

In less than 5 minutes, Xia Feng felt a little powerless. Due to the water pressure and the gradual freezing in the bamboo, the frequency of water droplets was very unstable, which forced him to maintain a high degree of concentration at all times.

It was clearly winter, but Xia Feng's forehead began to sweat.

10 minutes later.

The first exercise is temporarily over until the water in the bamboo freezes completely and no drop of water can escape.

"call!"

Xia Feng let out a long breath, feeling dizzy and his legs numb when standing.

"Master Xiao, this is really difficult."

Xiao Yunye picked up the paper on the ground. It was obvious that a lot of water had been splashed on it.

"This is just the elementary level. When I was a teenager, I once practiced this method without rest for three days and three nights."

"Wow, aren't your eyes sore?"

"Capturing the trajectory of an object requires not only your eyes, but also your heart."

Later, Xia Feng learned that Xiao Yunye's water drop practice when he was young was different from his. During the whole process, Xiao Yunye covered his eyes with black cloth.

Each practice lasted for three days and three nights. It was not until the last time when he took off the black cloth that the paper underneath showed no trace of water stain that he graduated from this practice.

In the courtyard, everyone in the villa got up one after another, some started brushing their teeth, some started doing radio gymnastics, and the atmosphere became lively.

However, Xia Feng and Xiao Yunye paid no attention to anyone and concentrated on starting the next exercise.

Xiao Yunye inserted a stick of incense into the upward pore of the bamboo stick, and then he lit the incense.

Xiao Yunye stretched out his hand and motioned to Xia Feng to give him the Shenyue Sword. After taking the sword, Xiao Yunye gently closed his eyes.

"Swish, swish, swish, swish!"

Xia Feng only saw an afterimage, and dozens of knives were slashed out like lightning. Before Xia Feng could react to what happened, the Shenyue Sword had already returned to his hand.

Xiao Yunye put his hands behind his back again.

"This is the second leveling up, and it will continue to improve."

Observe carefully, you can see that the incense stick on the bamboo strip is covered with several horizontal slash marks, each mark contains half of the incense, and there is an even gap between them, as if it is a miraculous workmanship.

Xia Feng grinned.

"Wow, this is too difficult."

Xiao Yunye patted Xia Feng's shoulder.

"There are hundreds of weapons, but the methods are the same. With more practice, you will know how to control the accuracy of the sword. When you can make 20 such cuts before a stick of incense burns out and the incense continues, you will be considered qualified."

Xia Feng was already confused. To be honest, this was more than one level more difficult than cutting water droplets just now.

This is based on speed, but adds accuracy and stability. If the sword is not released fast enough, the incense will be broken even if it is not cut.

"I understand, I'll give it a try."

Putting on another incense stick, Xia Feng took a deep breath.

Next to him, Snow Monster No. 4, who was washing rice and preparing porridge in the yard, was also attracted by Xia Feng's aura and prepared to watch him try this unexplained slash.

Holding the Shenyue Sword tightly, Xia Feng gently closed his eyes and suppressed all the impetuousness in his heart.

Then he opened his eyes, with only the thin incense stick in his pupils, and the Shenyue Sword was swung out with a cold light.

"Uh-huh!"

The moment it came into contact with the scented body, the blade stopped abruptly.

"Snapped!"

The scented body broke in response and flew into the air.

"Harmful."

Snow Monster No. 4 shook his head in disappointment and continued to scoop up rice.

The actual execution of this incense-cutting move was much more difficult than expected. Then, Xia Feng put on a whole new incense stick and began to slash.

The practice continued until Snow Monster No. 4's porridge was cooked, and he put down the Shenyue Sword.

Dozens of broken incense sticks were scattered on the ground in the courtyard. Except for the one Xiao Yunye demonstrated at the beginning, none of them had continuous cut marks on them.
