Longevity begins with whale hunting

The next morning, Bai Xuan passed through the island, and according to the address given by Bai Xuanji, he arrived in front of a large courtyard in the downtown area of ​​the town, surrounded by the Bai family's properties.

Bai Xuan knocked on the door and saw two strong men opening the door. They glanced out and saw Bai Xuan turned his palm to reveal a token that looked like jade but not jade. They let him go without saying a word. Come in.

“What a spacious courtyard.”

Bai Xuan saw that there were more than a dozen young people in the yard, practicing catching pairs, and some were holding big rocks with one hand and exercising their strength.

"Your Excellency, you must be Bai Xuan. I am Bai Xuan. I have a close relationship with my cousin Tiannian. I have heard of you several times."

A young man with short hair who looked quite sophisticated came forward.

"Yes, I don't know about this martial arts school..."

Bai Xuan said.

It was a lot more informal here than he thought.

"Wait a while, Uncle Bai'ehou will be here. He runs this martial arts school. Only young people in the family can teach unless they are outstanding. It is difficult for ordinary people to come here."

Bai Tianyuan said.

After a while, a thin old man came out and walked to the front of the courtyard.

"Practice all day long, what do you practice on?"

The thin old man looked down for a while, frowned, but then he spoke.

As soon as he finished speaking, many young martial arts practitioners below quickly fell silent.

The next moment, the thin old man shrank suddenly.

Under this contraction, it seemed that the whole person was shrinking, and all the energy and spirit were condensed to the extreme, shrunk deep into the bones, and disappeared without a trace.

But the big dragon on his spine was raised, as if the bow was fully drawn, and like a tiger perched in the forest. At the moment when he was about to pounce, the strength of his whole body was concentrated and reached an extreme!

boom!

The thin old man moved, and the whole person suddenly disappeared on the spot. Only a figure flashed, and a long air wave was vaguely torn out of the air. With a bang, a strong wind swept through the entire yard.

From a distance of more than ten meters, he pounced and reached directly. A piece of bluestone was directly grabbed and shattered into pieces, and the debris shot out!

brush!

The skinny old man kept moving, then retreated, like lightning, coming back. The air wave had not dissipated, and only the sound of hunting in the air was heard. The skinny old man reached out to take the leather robe and put it on himself.

"I don't care what other people in the Bai family teach you. For me, Tiger Step is the most fundamental martial art."

"One pounce contains the foundation of martial arts. If you move, you are martial arts. If you don't move, you are a zombie."

"Remember, in Qi-blood martial arts, if you freeze to death, it's over! When you practice martial arts, you should think about... what if someone fires thousands of arrows, crossbows, or even flying swords to take the lead?"

This thin old man taught the true steps directly from the moment he came up, without any sloppiness, he was neat and tidy!

He lay back on the lounge chair under the eaves. The old god was there without saying a word. The two disciples next to him served him before and after him, even bringing the tea directly to his mouth.

"What a great pace."

Bai Xuan's eyes condensed.

He was a powerful martial artist, and he understood something in his heart just by looking at it.

The steps between the steps are not about jumping and dodging, but about transporting Qi and blood. They are gathering Qi and blood all over the body in one thought, taking one step, and then they have astonishing speed, surpassing the ordinary!

At this moment, many disciples in the small courtyard are also thinking about practicing. Although this is also a courtyard, it is very wide. Even if it can accommodate a hundred people, it is nothing.

"This Tiger Pounce Step is used in boarding battles. With one step, you can grab onto the ship and sweep across immediately. If you want to leave, you can advance and retreat freely."

Bai Xuan consciously found a corner and practiced the Tiger Pounce Step silently.

He is just a boatswain who came in through connections. Most of the others here are seven or eight years older than him, and they are basically mates. They occasionally say hello, but Bai Xuan keeps a low profile and does not have much contact with them.

evening.

In the small courtyard.

"Getting the true step has finally made up for my biggest shortcoming... This tiger step is really mysterious!"

Bai Xuan was practicing in the courtyard, thinking constantly in his mind.

He possesses the ability to fight sharks at great heights. He can master steps much faster than ordinary people. He possesses an instinctive ability to move and dodge. In a short period of time, he has mastered the Tiger Pounce Step and is almost a beginner.

This tiger pounce step seems simple and straight forward, but with one pounce, there are changes in all directions.

And with this step, the energy and blood power of the whole body is condensed and truly integrated to the extreme. This change is extremely subtle, as if it opens a new door for Bai Xuan!

"Keep practicing."

"After mastering the Tiger Pounce Step, my strength will make a qualitative leap."

Bai Xuan was immersed in the practice of Tiger Pounce Step.

When he wakes up every day, he first practices boxing, marksmanship, and footwork, then practices inner breath training, exhaling and condensing his own energy and blood, and finally fishes, cooks, and continues practicing after eating.

Every day he would go to Bai'ehou's small courtyard to feel the pace and see how other people practiced.

…

Ten days passed in a hurry.

Bai Xuanji went home to report on his work. There seemed to be some controversy. He didn't return for a while. Bai Xuan practiced martial arts every day. Finally, he gained some experience and came out to have a meal.

Restaurant.

"My grandfather went to sea again to lead a ship. Now the Star Hunter pirates are burning, killing and looting, wreaking havoc on the sea, and even driving away the monster fish in the sea. Many ships have been attacked, and no one can resist them."

Bai Xia sighed sadly.

Things have been going badly lately, and his originally round figure has become a bit thinner.

"Monster fish?"

Bai Xuan was drinking tea, but his eyes were focused.

He thought of the demon shark, which left a deep impression on him. Its body was forged into one piece, as solid as steel, and it was simply beyond human power to hurt.

If it were an ordinary demon fish, a martial arts master could deal with it, so why would he need a master to lead the ship?

But the demon shark driven by the Sea God Cult would be impossible to resist without stepping into the gate of life and death. Only such a powerful existence would require masters to join forces to deal with it!

"Yes, several whale hunting ships in the outer sea were damaged and had to come back for repairs. Now there are also some hesitations among the four major families. If this continues, I am afraid the losses will be too heavy. I heard that the Yang family said that it would be better to negotiate with the star hunters."

Bai Xiazhen looked sad and even drank less.

Faced with the threat of the star hunters, many people were shaken. The fleet continued to be damaged and the losses were huge. Perhaps it would be better to compromise.

To compromise with the star hunters, it means to pay a portion of silver every year, just like taxes, to the star hunters in exchange for the fleet's qualification to sail on the sea.

Among the four major families, the Yang family suffered very little loss, and their fishing boats in the distant sea were almost undamaged. Many people rumored that this family had made some kind of deal with the Star Hunters!

"Compromise..."

Bai Xuan could not help but feel a sense of crisis.

For the four major families on Qianshan Island, compromise means paying more money. After weighing the pros and cons, it is very likely that such a choice will be made.

But for Bai Xuan, he still has a reward of two thousand taels of silver on his head, so he must prepare for a rainy day.

After dinner, Bai Xuan hurried home.

...

In the evening.

When Bai Xuan was about to get home, he saw that not far from his courtyard, there were more than a dozen people gathered at the gates of several courtyards, talking about something.

"It seems a little unfamiliar."

Bai Xuan looked around and felt that he was not familiar.

Although there were people coming and going on this island, with a large population, his courtyard was located in a remote area and few people came here, so there were unfamiliar faces, which could be seen at a glance.

"All the people in the Seven Seas are brothers. This is not just empty talk. There are rice, flour, grain, oil, talismans, water, and elixirs..."

These dozen people are all wearing brown clothes and look quite ordinary. They are led by a bearded man in the center. At this moment, they are talking. One of the old fishermen has shining eyes and nods frequently. It is obvious that he has been persuaded.

"Seven Seas Meeting?"

Bai Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and went back to the small courtyard without meddling in other people's business.

After a series of punches, Bai Xuan's body followed the punches, but the speed was extremely fast. The blood in his body became active and kept rising, like a torch. Under the membrane, there was a blue scale emerging, deep and powerful!

"With the Tiger Pounce Step, my speed has increased by almost double, which can be called a qualitative change."

In the small courtyard, Bai Xuan stepped on the ground and instantly covered a distance of seven or eight meters, so fast that a residual image appeared!

During this period of time, he has been practicing diligently and making rapid progress. Now he has mastered the Tiger Pounce Step!

"It's not yet complete. It will take some time to completely merge with the Great Fighting Shark. By then, the speed will increase again."

"However, in the past ten days, a little bit of horizontal training has been condensed."

"Copper Skin, open it for me!"

Bai Xuan's eyes condensed.

Copper Skin is still one step away, and today is the time for Great Completion!
