Arknights is too real, right?

After eating the breakfast cooked by Snow Monster No. 4, Xia Feng looked very depressed and a little aggrieved at the same time.

To be honest, even if a steel bar was placed in front of him, he could chop it with one knife, but Xiao Yunye placed a piece of incense for him to chop, and he kept cutting it.

Of course, Xia Feng knew the importance of this exercise very well, but after practicing it all morning, he failed even once.

In order to vent the pent-up strength in his heart, Xia Feng went directly to his second uncle's house in the morning, picked up an ax and chopped all the firewood in the yard for his second uncle.

Learning swordsmanship is not something that happens overnight. It requires perseverance and perseverance. Only then did Xia Feng realize his own gap.

Although the cheats of the black and white twins are strong, their own cultivation is far behind.

This is like putting an AK47 in the hands of a monkey, and it can kill lions, tigers, and mice. But if you put an AK47 in the hands of a special soldier, he can conquer the entire forest.

He himself is now a monkey with a plug-in, but if he wants to continue to become stronger, he needs to evolve his true body.

Of course, becoming stronger as an individual is not the most important thing for Xia Feng at the moment, and he cannot devote all his time and energy to practicing day after day.

This is not the Stone Age. The world of Terra has its own order. No one can shake a country by himself. As for the benefits of becoming stronger, it only increases the error tolerance in his actions.

Therefore, he could only scale back his long-term plan and set a small goal first.

That is, in the ten days before the start of the swordsmanship competition, try to achieve something as small as possible.

In this way, Xia Feng's assault training plan began.

At 5 o'clock in the morning every day, he would receive Xiao Yunye's guidance and practice in the yard on time until breakfast.

In the morning, he will deal with various matters related to the Origin Stone business, trying to ensure the concealment and safety of the Origin Stone processing during this extraordinary period.

Except for a few very trustworthy customers such as Yi Nanxue and the Haimen Gang, the remaining customers must pass through a second transfer before they can send the Origin Stone for processing. In other words, he does not allow anyone to know the specific city of the Origin Stone processing point.

As for the Source Stone purchased by Rishu in Casimir, Nanfeng sent a vehicle from the Chamber of Commerce in Notting City to transport it, and the entire process had to be carried by his own people.

This is done to ensure that no outsider can know about the private processing channels of Victoria Source Stone.

Even if we know that there are private processing dens in Victoria, we don’t know which city they are in.

Even if I know which city it is in, I don’t know the specific location.

Even if the specific location is known, one does not know who this processing den really belongs to.

His territory is all around Hapi City, and coupled with strict control during operations, he can basically detect anomalies as soon as they occur, and make an "emergency evacuation" response, directly using the earth escape technique, and there will be no evidence of death.

During the day, Xia Feng would personally handle business matters, and until sunset, he would devote himself to swordsmanship training again.

Just like this, he trained in the morning, dealt with business during the day, and trained again in the evening. Xia Feng had never experienced such a regular and fulfilling life since he came to Victoria.

After a few days, Xia Feng's performance in several basic trainings also improved, in Xiao Yunye's words.

Xia Feng is very talented.

During the training of cutting water droplets, Xia Feng could tentatively close his eyes and feel the trajectory of the water droplets with his heart.

Of course, the success rate of closing your eyes is less than 30%.

As for cutting incense continuously, he can already cut at least more than one gap in the same incense stick. Of course, it takes dozens of times to succeed once.

This is just the basic training of the sword skill [Sorrowful Autumn Liyu], which is commonly known as the basic skill. Xiao Yunye has not revealed anything about the specific form of this sword skill.

This evening.

Xia Feng was carrying out the training of cutting incense again and again in the yard.

Xiao Yunye patiently stood aside to supervise and guide, giving some theoretical suggestions based on Xia Feng's physical condition.

"Control your breathing, and don't let success or failure affect your state of mind. Each swing is independent. When you master the complete rhythm of each swing, try to connect them and combine them into a continuous slash."

Sweat slid down Xia Feng's cheeks, his expression showed no slack, and every blow was extremely serious.

"Whoa! Whoa!"

The Shenyue Sword brought out two rays of cold light, and the burning incense in front of him did not tremble at all, but on the body of the incense, two slash marks halfway into the body had clearly emerged.

Seeing Xia Feng's first successful double slash, Xiao Yunye nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, you seem to have mastered the trick. This is the first time I have seen someone grow so much in such a short period of time."

Xia Feng smiled happily.

"Master Xiao taught me better."

In fact, Xia Feng knew in his heart that this martial arts wizard-like performance had nothing to do with his personal talent.

The black and white twins changed his physique, making his strength and reflexes very strong, which allowed him to skip most of the steps in the initial stage.

If every beginner swordsman is compared to a stone, then the first thing the swordsman has to do is to refine himself into a diamond.

And he himself has become a diamond, no need to refine it, the rest is just polishing and carving.

Xiao Yunye handed over a towel.

"Let's take a rest first and wipe off the sweat."

"good."

In the courtyard, the cold night wind blew through.

Xia Feng and Xiao Yunye sat on small bamboo stools and chatted.

"Master Xiao, since I met you, why haven't I seen you use a real sword?"

Xiao Yunye's tone was calm.

"In Xiao's eyes, weapons have only two meanings of existence, one is to protect, and the other is to kill enemies for the master's will, but these two meanings have no meaning to Xiao now."

"How do you say this?"

"Even without a sword, I can still protect the people I want to protect. As for the will to kill the enemy, Xiao no longer has it."

Xia Feng expressed his understanding of these words. Xiao Yunye said it lightly, but the general meaning should be.

[No one in this world is worthy of me picking up a real sword now. 】

But having said that, Xia Feng still looked forward to how Master Xiao would actually hold the sword.

He looked curious.

"Master Xiao, haven't you carried a sword with you for so many years? How about I give you one? Just think of it as a souvenir."

Xiao Yunye chuckled and denied.

"No, I always carry the sword with me. It's in the box."

Xia Feng immediately remembered that when he first met Xiao Yunye, he was following Xina with an oversized suitcase in his hand.

After moving to the barbecue restaurant, this suitcase has been kept in Xiao Yunye's room.

"So that's it."

Since swords were mentioned, Xia Feng was naturally very interested and continued to ask.

"Master Xiao, what does your sword look like? It must be very powerful."

Xiao Yunye replied calmly.

"My sword is nothing special. It is not a magical weapon. It is just an ordinary sword passed down from my ancestors."

"The sword should have a name, right?"

"Well, it does have a name, and it's engraved on the sword. The name of this sword is the same as the sect founded by my ancestors, it's called Qingyun Sword."

Now Xiao Yunye has nothing to do with the Qingyun Sect in order to accompany Xina to travel around the world. Because he has had no children in his life, the Qingyun Sect has long existed in name only after losing its direct descendant.

But when it comes to the sect founded by his ancestors, Xiao Yunye's expression still shows pride and yearning.

"In the era when my ancestors existed, wars broke out all over the Yan Kingdom, and the world was divided into three parts. There was no such thing as being the best in the world in the martial arts world. But my ancestor Xiao Li, with one person and a sword, turbulent the entire Yan Kingdom. country, he single-handedly created the Qingyun Sect, which was the first of the seven sects at that time, and was respected by all martial arts people as the Great Sword Saint Xiao Li."
