Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 3 Concentrate
At night, the candlelight in the room flickered, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

Song Changming, who was not on duty tonight, was examining the parchment he had obtained in the house.

The origin of the old man in the ring is unknown, and it is difficult to determine whether he is good or evil.

What if there is a big devil hidden here who is beyond his understanding, has been fooling him and has intentions towards him, and it would be really bad if he was left here.

Moreover, his secret of immortality does not allow him to carry such a ring with him as a companion.

Therefore, he didn't feel sorry about the ring being thrown away.

However, the martial arts recorded on the parchment are worth his closer look.

If it is true, he might as well try practicing it.

In fact, he had already had the idea of ​​learning martial arts.

He couldn't always be a low-level night watchman. If he wanted to improve his life, he had to keep moving up.

Every year, there are vacancies in the patrol positions of each street patrol station in the city, which are either filled or expanded.

The most basic requirement to become a patrol guard is to have certain skills.

To put it simply, it requires martial artists who have practiced martial arts.

After all, this is an armed unit for maintaining public order, and even those who try to take advantage of the situation inside have to be quite capable.

Therefore, practicing martial arts is something Song Changming must get involved in.

It is not just for the purpose of being a patrol guard, but also for the purpose of being able to protect oneself in the future and to be able to escape unscathed from dangerous situations.

Originally, he wanted to go to a martial arts school in the city to enroll in martial arts classes.

However, if he wanted to enter a decent martial arts school to practice martial arts, he would need to pay expensive tuition fees at the beginning. He did not have this money at the moment and would have to save up for some time.

I also heard that the cost of subsequent martial arts training is extremely high, and money is required everywhere. The path of martial arts training is not easy.

Right now, he couldn't enter the martial arts gym, so the martial arts on the parchment were the only thing he could study.

Even if you fail to master it in the end, it may still have certain reference value.

The two folded pieces of parchment were quite large when spread out, and together they were enough to cover half of the square table.

It was filled with densely packed words in illegible handwriting, and there were some diagrams, but it was obvious that the person who copied it had a low drawing skill, and some of them were crooked.

This made Song Changming look like an old man on the subway looking at his mobile phone, with great effort.

"The Soul-Breaking Sword is a martial art of the Ghost Sword faction. The sword style is sinister and vicious, and is good at slitting throats and beheading. At the minor level of success, one can practice a trace of the Ghost Sword Force, which is invisible and erratic."

After reading it through, Song Changming felt confused and could not understand many of the excerpts.

The several knife-stroke diagrams were not clear either, and he needed to add his own understanding and slowly figure out the key points.

"It would be outrageous if this could be mastered." Song Changming shook his head helplessly and looked at the second piece of parchment.

"The Bull Demonic Power is a physical training martial art that focuses on strengthening bones. It requires taking a twenty-year-old wild ginseng every month, taking a medicinal bath once every half month, taking a portion of bone strengthening powder every five days, and eating at least two kilograms of meat every day, with lambs and calves being the best. If you practice it to perfection, you can gain the strength of nine bulls!"

Looking at the complicated content, he finally understood why practicing martial arts was so expensive.

The medicinal herbs and foods needed for nourishment are so numerous and precious that ordinary families cannot afford them.

"This martial arts training is indeed not something that everyone can do."

The little salary he received as a night watchman every month was totally not enough.

Not to mention twenty-year-old wild ginseng, even two kilograms of meat a day would be enough to overwhelm him.

"What kind of family can eat meat every day?" Song Changming sighed.

Anyway, there are very few of them in this White Street.

Fortunately, Song Changming was not discouraged. He had no martial arts foundation, and he did not expect to master the two martial arts secret records that he had obtained accidentally in one go.

This was a completely new field for him, so he just had to slowly study and research it. As night fell, the rain outside the house got heavier and heavier, and it was about to pour down. After dinner, Song Changming was still immersed in the exploration of these two martial arts.

Combined with the illustrations and some annotations, I tried to figure out its meaning word by word.

Compared with the physical training martial arts on the second piece of parchment, the Soul-Breaking Sword obviously has a better chance of being practiced by him to great effect.

At least, practicing sword skills does not require various precious objects as rigid conditions for training.

"Try it."

After reading for a long time, Song Changming finally drew out the official sword issued by the Patrol Armor Division and tried to practice according to the contents on the parchment.

Although he had never practiced martial arts systematically, he had mastered the basic knife skills, such as chopping, stabbing and piercing. The official sword he started with was not just for decoration.

This training lasted until late at night.

As a result, little was gained.
until.

[Today's evaluation: A meaningful day, lifespan +3, limited-time status 'Concentrated' obtained]

Concentrate: Do things with single-minded focus, concentration and high mental concentration.

"Finally changed the status effect, hope it helps"

Song Changming listened to the prompt sound, put down the knife, wiped the sweat from his face, and breathed a sigh of relief.

This panel ability of his will evaluate his daily performance every morning. In addition to the life bonus, he will also be granted a limited-time status that lasts for one day.

For example, his previous limited-time status was "doing nothing".

To be inactive: to slack off, to be mediocre, and to do nothing.

In this state, his work efficiency is not high, which has a serious negative impact on his martial arts training.

In this bad state, it would be strange if one could achieve anything famous.

The reason why he was doing all this useless work and practicing so hard was just to be able to get rid of this negative state in the early morning.

The 'concentration' he gained at the moment was a good state, which could have a positive effect on his practice efficiency.

This is equivalent to opening a small cheat.

With the idea that a small opening is not considered a big opening, Song Changming devoted himself more fully to practicing sword skills.

This time, the effect of practicing was indeed different.

Some principles of sword-drawing that I had never been able to understand before were suddenly mastered as if by sudden enlightenment.

I even felt that I was too stupid before that I couldn’t even learn such basic things.

Gradually, he felt that it was not difficult to master this set of Soul-Breaking Swords.

Just as the ring said before, this set of sword skills is indeed very suitable for people like him who have never been exposed to martial arts.

Those mysterious contents of the exquisite martial arts that can only be understood intuitively do not appear much on this parchment. Most of the sword techniques and artistic conception are easy to understand.

After Song Changming gradually mastered this set of sword skills, everything began to become a natural process.

I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly, there was some new content on his panel.

Name: Song Changming
Lifespan: 36,002

Spirit: Seven

Root: Ten

Related constitution: Fear of water (gray)

Song Changming looked at the extra column of information on the panel, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
