I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Chapter 39: Harvest Strategy, Clouds and Patterns
Xie Yuan finished his exercise and stood up, saying:

"Oh, Brother Huo, I have already broken through the second level."

He is not even at the level of a true warrior, so there is nothing to hide.

The martial arts arena suddenly became quiet.

Huo Da opened his mouth and was stunned for a long time without saying a word.

As for the other registered disciples who had been practicing together, they all looked at each other in shock, equally speechless.

Registered disciples who have cultivated to the Niubi level, that is, have broken through the second level, will either be promoted to core disciples or can directly go out as apprentices.

After all, the content related to warriors is considered the core competitiveness of the martial arts school, and it will not be easily granted to registered disciples. Moreover, registered disciples lack training and it is difficult for them to break through to the second level.

Xie Yuan rarely came here, and he practiced on his own, and he reached the third level so quickly. This kind of talent...

Tao Jie Lin couldn't help but give Xie Yuan a thumbs up. As for the other three who joined the school at the same time, they suddenly felt a little regretful.

Huo Da was silent for a long time before he suddenly coughed twice, restrained his expression, and regained his composure as a senior brother:
"Well, thank you, Junior Brother, for making another breakthrough so quickly, that's pretty good."

More than just pretty good, it's much faster than I was before, right?
Huo Da muttered in his heart that he must ask the master to accept this child!

The competition in Panlong Town Martial Arts School is so fierce, you must not miss out on a good disciple!

He hesitated for a moment and exhaled:

“Since you have reached the third level, according to the rules, I should teach you how to fight and what it means to break through to the level of a warrior.

"This is usually given to core disciples, but considering Junior Brother Xie's talent, it doesn't hurt to tell you about the first part first. Sooner or later, Junior Brother Xie will officially join the martial arts school."

Huo Da extended an olive branch to Xie Yuan in both overt and covert ways.

The other registered disciples listened with envy and expectation, thinking that they could take advantage of Xie Yuan to listen to the fighting theory together. However, Huo Da told the other disciples to practice on their own and turned around to take Xie Yuan into a training room, which greatly disappointed the others.

Xie Yuan found it a little funny to hear the sighs from behind:
“It looks like the next one will be paid content… but I can try it for free.

“This is the benefit of showing your own value.”

After entering the spacious training room, Huo Da closed the door and turned to ask Xie Yuan:

"Thank you, Junior Brother. I have told you about the four methods of martial arts training: nurturing, training, fighting, and killing. You have been practicing for a while, but you have only learned the training methods of the martial arts school. Have you ever been curious about the fighting and killing methods of our school?"

"indeed."

Xie Yuan nodded honestly.

"Then I'll show you."

After Huoda finished speaking, he lowered his waist and squatted, ready to move.

Xie Yuan retreated to the wall and watched quietly, and suddenly became confused:
"Isn't this the three-stillness and three-movement basic standing practice?"

Hoda in the field was clearly just practicing basic stance skills at the beginning.

But soon, Xie Yuan noticed something.

Although Huo Da was performing the basic stance training, the movement flow was quite different and looked a lot more complicated.

Looking closely, one can find that he has mixed six sets of standing exercises together, integrating the basic footwork and boxing moves with each other, and switching between the hard bridges and hard horses of the static stance, forming a complete set of boxing techniques with both offensive and defensive capabilities!

"I see. This basic stance training can be combined into a set of fighting techniques. First practice the basics, then switch to another one. It's a step-by-step process. It's quite scientific."

Xie Yuan understood something from what he saw, and when Huo Da finished the rehearsal, he clapped and nodded repeatedly.

Huo Da exhaled and asked Xie Yuan with a smile:
"Thank you, Junior Brother. Do you have any insights?"

Xie Yuan nodded, walked directly to the center of the field, lowered his waist and squatted, then repeated the boxing method that Huo Da had just used!

He was already quite proficient in the basic standing meditation, so once he realized the key, he knew how to do it after watching it once.

Huo Da looked at Xie Yuan's movements, which seemed a little unfamiliar but clearly showed that he had understood the key points, and was amazed:

"I thought he could tell it was the result of the Zhuang Gong, but I didn't expect he could do it directly! What a talented junior brother."

After finishing the fight, Xie Yuan was slightly out of breath. Huo Da applauded him and sighed, "Junior Brother Xie, your talent is something that the martial arts hall has not seen in recent years. Since you have understood it, I will not explain it any further. Just practice it yourself. Do you have any questions?"

Xie Yuan hesitated for a moment and asked:

"Brother Huo, is this the only fighting style in the martial arts school?"

When Huo Da heard him ask this, he understood:

"That's indeed the only set. There is another set of 'killing methods' that is even more powerful, but that is the hard work of my master, so I will only teach it to you personally.

"Thank you, Junior Brother, but do you think this set of 'Iron Armor Long Fist' is not powerful enough?"

Xie Yuan glanced in front of him and was a little confused about what to say.

【Iron Armor Long Fist: (1/10)】

It is indeed simple, both the name and the technique are simple.

Otherwise, no matter how high his comprehension is, he wouldn't be able to understand it after just one look.

But at least it's one more way of fighting, one more means. Xie Yuan was worried that he only had thick skin and flesh but few skills, so he would be just a punching bag.

Now we finally have more ways to fight instead of just fighting with axes.

Hoda briefly explained:

"The core of our martial arts school is the 'Iron Shirt'. At the same stage of training our skin, our defense is far superior to others. This set of Iron Shirt Long Fist was summarized by Master in combination with the Iron Shirt. The prospects are indeed limited, but it is very practical when combined with the exercises.

"In fact, the other two families in Panlong Town only have one set of skills, that is, training methods, and one or two sets of fighting methods. Everyone is similar. If you really want to learn powerful fighting methods, you have to go to Yunzhao."

Xie Yuan continued to ask:
"Is Yunzhao's martial arts school very powerful?"

“Well…Xie Junior Brother, you are also from the martial arts school, so it’s okay for me to tell you some old stories.

"When Master first came to Yunzhou, the martial arts school was initially opened in Yunzhao County. However, it was only open for a month before it moved to Panlong Town...

"In Yunzhao's martial arts school, the head master must be at least three-level practice to gain a foothold. Four-level practice is not uncommon, and there are even higher levels. Although Yunzhao is not a big county in the Dali Dynasty."

Xie Yuan found this quite interesting.

It turns out that Monk Liu, who seemed to be quite capable, had no place to stand in Yunzhao County.

Compared to the small pond of Panlong, the water in Yunzhao is much more turbulent.

He asked with great interest:

"Brother Huo, are there any famous martial arts schools in Yunzhao County?"

Hoda seemed to have opened up a conversation, and he counted on four fingers:

“There are four recognized martial arts schools in Yunzhao County, including the ‘Golden Sword and Feather Sword’.

"They are the 'Vajra Sect' with its invincible hard skills, the 'One Sword Sect' with its fierce sword skills, the 'Piaoyu Sect' with its light skills and leg skills, and the 'Sword Lord Hall' with its exquisite sword skills.

"The masters of the four major martial arts schools are all masters of the four training levels. Among them, the Vajra School is the best. In addition to the fact that the hard-working martial artists who have achieved the four training levels are already strong, there is another reason -

"The current Yunzhao County Lieutenant is from the Vajra Sect. He is the junior brother of the current hall master and is also a fourth-level practitioner."

Xie Yuan had heard of the name of the Vajra Sect, but the main reason was that Boss Zhang learned his martial arts in the Vajra Sect, so the people in Xiaoshi Village had all heard of this large martial arts school in Yunzhao County.

This is the first time I've heard of the other three martial arts schools. They sound like they all have their own characteristics. And since they're as famous as the Vajra School, they must have pretty good kung fu.

"However, this is actually a sentence. 'Golden Sword and Feathered Sword' is only the first half of the sentence. There is also a second half. To be complete, it should be -

“It is difficult for a golden sword to leap over the Dragon Gate.

“The real No. 1 martial arts school in Yunzhao County is not a pure martial arts school, but an escort agency.

"Longteng Escort Agency."
