Sword from Songshan

Chapter 51: Becoming the Best

Bang~!

With a loud and sharp sound, a rock as big as a millstone was split in half by a sword!

"As expected of twenty years of skill."

Looking at the rubble scattered on the ground, Lu Nanxing's face was full of excitement.

Just now, the six kinds of alien true energy in the body dissipated, and the pure internal force was absorbed by the body. Lu Nanxing's skill soared to twenty years!
The purpose of creating the Twelve Circulation Qigong was to absorb the six strands of true qi in the body as quickly as possible, but I didn't expect it to be so fast.

The alien true qi roams around and will be consumed when it passes through the meridians, breaking down and releasing some of its internal strength, which will then be absorbed by Lu Nanxing and converted into his own power.

Previously, when practicing Songyang Heart Method, this effect would only be achieved when passing through the Taiyin spleen meridian of the foot and the Shaoyin heart meridian of the hand.

The current Twelve Circulation Qigong uses all the twelve main meridians. No matter how the alien true qi moves, it cannot escape this scope. In other words, it is being consumed in this way all the time.

Let's take the truck as an example. Before, the truck was moving and resting, and although there was some sand scattered, the overall frame was intact. Now it is moving non-stop, with no chance to rest at all. The result is not as simple as how much sand falls, but the collapse of the entire truck!

When the constantly accumulating pressure broke through the critical point, the six kinds of alien qi suddenly and completely dissipated.

"I really didn't expect that."

After sorting out the causes and consequences, Lu Nanxing felt excited and emotional.

After twenty years of practice, he has now become one of the top masters!
However, it can only be considered the fourth tier.

From the reader's perspective, in the entire "Swordsman", only a few characters such as Zuo Lengchan and Linghu Chong in the later period can be called first-class masters.

But for most people in this huge world, no matter Zuo Lengchan, Master Dingyi, or Taoist Tiansong, they can hardly compare with them. The leaders and elders of the major sects are first-class masters in the eyes of most people.

As a time traveler, Lu Nanxing was both in the situation and had a clear understanding of the overall situation, so he divided the first-class masters into four levels.

With an internal strength of more than ten years and one or two martial arts that can compete with others, one can be ranked among the first-rate masters, but he can only be considered as the fourth tier, the representatives behind the Thirteen Guardians of Songshan.

Those who have studied a superior martial art in depth on the basis of certain internal strength, or who have directly acquired a unique skill, are considered the third level. Representative figures include the first few of the Thirteen Guardians of Songshan and Lin Pingzhi, who was just beginning to learn the Exorcism Sword.

He has profound internal strength and his external skills are also superb, which is considered the second tier. His representatives are Yue Buqun and Mr. Mo Da.

He has profound internal strength and unique skills, and is considered to be in the first tier. Representative figures include Zuo Lengchan and the castrated version of Yue Buqun.

Above the first-class, there is actually the best.

In Lu Nanxing's opinion, there are only three people who can be called the best in the martial arts world today, Master Fang Zheng of Shaolin Temple, Dongfang Bubai of Sun Moon Sect, and Feng Qingyang of Huashan!

In addition, Ren Woxing and Taoist Chongxu have already surpassed the first-class level, but are still some distance away from the top, which can be called half a step to the top.

"Third gear..."

After determining his position, Lu Nanxing gradually calmed down.

Although it has entered the first-class ranks, it is still only in the bottom fourth.

Compared with the real masters, there is still some gap.

Lu Nanxing couldn't help but wonder, how could he go one step further and enter the third tier?

The internal strength has already reached the standard, what is lacking now is just a powerful martial art.

Even if it is not a unique martial art like Dugu Nine Swords or Star Absorbing Art, it must at least be a superior martial art!
With the characteristics of the Twelve Circulation Qigong, it can already be called a superior martial art. However, as an internal skill for accumulating internal strength, rather than a method for using internal strength, it does not have a clear advantage when fighting against an enemy.

In addition, the Greatsword version of Songshan Sword Technique and Blood Clotting Claw, although each has its own characteristics and is stronger than ordinary martial arts, that's all there is to it. Their upper limit is limited, and they can only be called exquisite martial arts, not superior ones.

"Palm technique..."

As the largest sect in the martial arts world after Shaolin and Wudang, how could the Songshan Sect not have advanced martial arts? Not to mention Zuo Lengchan's self-created Ice Qi, in fact, the Great Songyang Divine Palm is a superior martial art!
As the orthodox martial arts of the Songshan School, this palm technique has complicated moves and is swift, making it extremely powerful. It was with this palm technique that Zuo Lengchan was able to fight Ren Woxing.

After Ren Woxing was imprisoned, Zuo Lengchan rarely used this palm technique anymore. There were really few people who could make him use this palm technique! Just as Ren Woxing said in the original novel, after him, no one could fight against Zuo Lengchan!

In addition to the moves, this Great Songyang Divine Palm is even better in terms of palm power. With continuous in-depth study and practice, different people have different understandings, and can even develop different palm powers!
The first few of the Thirteen Protectors of Songshan are all examples.

The Grand Protector Ding Mian was nicknamed "Tower-Handing Hand" and was famous for his powerful palm power.

The second Taibao Lu Bai is known as the Crane Hand, his palm power is so sticky that he can catch dragons and control cranes.

The Third Guardian Fei Bin was known as the Great Songyang Hand and was famous for his palm techniques.

The Fourth Guardian Le Hou is known as the Yin-Yang Hand. The power of his palm is one yin and one yang, one high and one low, which is extremely unpredictable.

It is precisely because of their profound skills in the Great Songyang Divine Palm that the four of them have made it into the top three.

From this we can see that if Lu Nanxing learns this palm technique, improves rapidly with the help of the small wooden tripod, and develops his own unique palm power, he will definitely be able to enter the third level.

"It's a bit troublesome."

As Zuo Lengchan's direct disciple, Lu Nanxing is naturally qualified to learn the Great Songyang Divine Palm.

But, not now.

Lu Nanxing has been practicing for too short a time. In the eyes of others, he has just started to practice internal skills. Now he asks to learn the Great Songyang Divine Palm. Isn't that biting off more than he can chew?
Moreover, as a superior martial art, how could the Great Songyang Divine Palm be so easy to master?
Therefore, the teaching is done with great caution.

Currently, among the hundreds of second-generation disciples in the entire Songshan School, only Zuo Feiying and Shi Dengda have been taught this palm technique.

If Lu Nanxing wants to learn this palm technique, he must either accumulate experience or work hard to gain merit.

He has been in the industry for too short a time, so naturally he has no qualifications to speak of, so all he can do is rely on his merits.

Lu Nanxing thought that if he accomplished something great, then he could ask Zuo Lengchan to learn the Great Songyang Divine Palm, and Zuo Lengchan might not refuse.

But, is it so easy to achieve merit?

The only thing he is currently responsible for is the Hengshan Sect, but splitting the Hengshan Sect will not be done overnight.

"talk later."

After thinking it over, I decided not to be impatient.

Lu Nanxing sighed helplessly and decided not to think about it any more for the time being.

Next, start practicing body movements.

Now that I have accumulated twenty years of internal strength, I can put the practice of internal strength on hold for now.

In terms of external skills, apart from his main sword skills, his body movement and lightness skills are actually a major weakness of Lu Nanxing, which needs to be improved as soon as possible.

Zuo Feiying came again some time ago, not to check on his progress in internal strength. Ordinary people think that the cultivation of internal strength is a long and painstaking process, and it will take at least a year before there are any signs of progress, and then it is worth checking.

Zuo Feiying handed Lu Nanxing a secret book, which was the Songshan School's body skills, and told Lu Nanxing that he could practice it as a reference while cultivating his internal strength.

"start!"

It is called a secret book, but in fact it is just some basic techniques of dodging and moving around.

Although it is not outstanding, it is practical.

Lu Nanxing put the sword aside and started practicing in the open space.
