I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Chapter 56 Why is he practicing?
Xie Yuan watched the escort team file out like a dragon, and was stunned for a moment before asking:
"Master Qin, is Boss Zhao waiting for me?"

"That's right. Boss Zhao told me before I left that if you agree, he will bring you back and give you some instructions. He said that the new brothers have just arrived, and he, the leader, can't be away."

Qin Hai replied with a smile.

Xie Yuan held the book "The Wolf Sword Technique" and nodded and sighed:

"Tou'er Zhao is indeed quite heroic."

"Right?"

Qin Hai laughed and glanced at the booklet in Xie Yuan's hand:

"Newcomers come in and practice the three basic sword techniques passed down by the chief escort. After accumulating merits, they can switch to advanced kung fu, usually starting with the 'Ding' technique.

"The escort agency divides the mission difficulty and the power of the skills into four levels, A, B, C, and D, according to the four levels of external training. Most of the escorts can switch to a D-level skill, which is the level corresponding to the first level, after the adaptation period.

"But you are lucky to be with Zhao Tou. This 'Running Wolf Sword Technique' is a third-class sword technique with great power. Many escorts, including me, are practicing it. It is very useful."

Grade C? That means it corresponds to the second level of swordsmanship?
Xie Yuan was in high spirits. He gained a lot as soon as he arrived. Coming here was like coming home. He loved it here very much.

"Boss Zhao said I should keep it on credit first, so how many merits should I pay back?"

"If you complete two C-level missions normally, your merits can be exchanged for a C-level martial arts method. If you start from D-level, it will take about five or six missions."

Qin Hai made a rough estimate.

Xie Yuan nodded, and he began to be in debt.

However, all in all, the price of this merit is very affordable, and a normal member of the escort agency can exchange it for a set of skills in no time.

But if you are out there, good martial arts skills are hard to come by, and you may not be able to buy them even if you have money.

What a great place.

"Come on, I'll take you to register and get acquainted with the sect. Keep the martial arts skills away first, and don't let others see them. This is a special benefit for our escort team."

Qin Hai took Xie Yuan for a walk, then found a scholar in a study and registered him.

"There's a new person here. What's his name? Where is he from?"

The scholar asked in a gentle voice.

"Xie Yuan, I live in Xiaoshi Village."

"Oh, you are that Xie Yuan?"

The scholar was startled and said with a smile:

"Welcome, welcome. You are in our escort agency. You don't have to worry about the Vajra Sect. Well, let me register.

"Xie Yuan, Zhao Xingyang's escort team, junior escort..."

Qin Hai explained at the right time:

"When you first come here, you are all junior porters. If you make breakthroughs and accumulate merits, you can be promoted to senior porters and get better treatment.

"In the late stage of the first training, when the muscles are trained to a considerable extent, you can be promoted to a junior escort. In the second training, you will be a senior escort, and above that, you will be a leader."

Xie Yuan nodded to show that he understood, and then said:

"Master Qin, I have already broken through the skin level. Should I also start from the beginner level?"

"You're new here, so of course you're a beginner... Wait, you've passed the skin barrier? You're a martial artist?"

Qin Hai widened his eyes:
"When did you break through?"

When he and Zhao Tou'er passed by Panlong Town before, wasn't this kid still training his skin?

Didn’t it seem like we were still a long way from a breakthrough?

"Just recently."

Xie Yuan replied.

Qin Hai was stunned for a moment and said:

"Okay, punch me."

He stood with his hands behind his back, in a horse stance, motioning Xie Yuan to step forward. Xie Yuan hesitated for a moment, but then, thinking that Qin Hai was a master of the second level, he did not hesitate, rubbed his fists, took a step forward, and struck Qin Hai on the shoulder with all his might!

Qin Hai was hit by a punch, his body swayed, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He said:

"What a practice! Why didn't you tell me before, kid?"

"Master Qin, you never asked...it seems like it doesn't matter."

Xie Yuan shook his fist.

The second-level expert not only had tough skin, but also hard flesh. He didn't react at all after being punched.

However, he did not use his internal energy, otherwise he would have been able to make Qin Hai move.

"That's because we watched your kung fu before, and except for the few times you chopped wood with the axe yourself, which were a bit amazing, the rest were just average."

Qin Hai looked puzzled:
"It's only been a few days? How come you suddenly broke through? This shouldn't be possible..."

Qin Hai couldn't understand why. This cultivation speed seemed a little strange.

too fast!
Xie Yuan remained silent with dignity.

It’s okay, we’re all family now and you’ll get used to it slowly.

Qin Hai was puzzled, but he just scratched his head and then smiled brightly:
"Okay, it seems we have picked up a treasure! Haha, wait seven days and see you give Boss Zhao a surprise.

"Well, you are strong enough, but you don't have many achievements since you just arrived, so you should start from the beginner level. However, with your level, you should be able to move up in three missions at most."

He walked out with Xie Yuan and whispered:

"Go back tonight and review the sword techniques carefully. The third-level sword techniques may be difficult for you at the moment, but you should memorize the moves first and familiarize yourself with them. I will explain them to you tomorrow.

"That's it. I'm going back first."

Qin Hai patted Xie Yuan on the shoulder and quickly left the escort agency.

The escort agents usually have their own homes in the county town and do not live in the escort agency.

Xie Yuan was a little confused when he saw Qin Hai leave so suddenly:

"Why is Master Qin running so fast?

"Never mind, let's go back to the room and learn some sword skills!"

Qin Hai returned home, took off his clothes, looked at the red fist mark on his shoulder, and grimaced on his heroic face:

"Hiss, you're so arrogant! You really shouldn't have to endure this...

"I thought this guy was talking nonsense, but it turns out to be true! Hey, how come he is a warrior?

"It hurts! Wife, wife! Bring me some medicinal wine!"

The escort agency's porters all live in single rooms. Although they are not luxurious, they are clean and tidy, with all the necessary facilities. The space in the room is even enough for practicing less intense kung fu, so it is quite spacious.

Although it was not free, the food and lodging together only cost one or two taels of silver a month, which was enough to cover the porter's regular salary.

Xie Yuan returned to the room with the clothes and badges he had just been distributed, looked around, and was quite satisfied.

It’s a little smaller than the luxury suite at Tieyimen, but no matter how, it’s better than my own cabin.

Then, he couldn't wait to take out the "Wolf Blade Technique":
"Let me see what the C-level technique is all about!"

After browsing through the booklet from beginning to end, Xie Yuan closed it, his eyes sparkling:
"The sword strikes like a wolf, and the footwork runs like a wolf. This sword and footwork combine to emphasize 'fast, fierce, and ruthless'. The moves are swift and powerful, and the momentum is compelling.

"Minimal achievement can be to strike with a long sword and kill with one blow, and great achievement can be like wolf smoke, one person and one sword can be like a pack of wolves charging, unstoppable!
"Great swordsmanship! Just looking at the moves, you can tell it's powerful. Well, although I'm sorry to Master Liu, to be honest, it's much better than the 'Iron Armor Long Fist'."

Xie Yuan studied it carefully several times, then ran to the martial arts field, picked up a long sword, and began to practice awkwardly.

【Running Wolf Sword Technique: (1/100)】

Xie Yuan's lips curled up slightly, and the new number appeared as expected.

Watching the progress slowly increasing as he swung the sword, Xie Yuan repeated it over and over again, gradually forgetting himself.
