The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 31: Fu Bo Dao Shi (Please read, collect, and vote for the monthly ticket)

The outer city was in chaos, and night patrol was a very dangerous task.

Whenever night falls, the outer city is filled with all kinds of people, including various gangs, thugs, and young men and women from the inner city who come out to do good deeds...

Except for the robbers who are easier to bully, the others are not something the constables and officers can afford to offend.

If you encounter a gang fight, it is best to stay away from it.

Even if we need to intervene, it has to be handed over to the captains of police and squad leaders to handle.

In order to earn more "performance", Su Mu has patrolled the nights for others many times and is familiar with the whole process.

After a night of careful and cautious play, he successfully pocketed 15 points.

In the following days, Su Mu was extra careful. Apart from doing his errands, he would return to his rented courtyard and stay indoors.

He would never go near any place that he felt was a little dangerous.

Having rejected Nancheng Sima He Yuxing, Su Mu did not dare to bet whether this Sima was magnanimous or petty.

He could only make sure that he would never make any mistakes, so that at least no one would find fault with him and punish him openly.

As for other shady means, we can only deal with them as they come.

To his surprise, neither He Yuxing nor Zhao Ji made things difficult for him.

At least not on the surface.

Since others didn't cause trouble for him, Su Mu naturally wouldn't cause trouble for himself. He was happy to do his job every day and often patrolled the night for other detectives.

This made him quite popular among the detectives.

That night he was on patrol for a constable. At daybreak, he finished his work, returned home along the road, and carefully closed all the doors and windows.

Immediately, a flash of knife light appeared in the room.

The room was not big, but Su Mu was already familiar with the bed, table, chairs and other items in the room. The long knife in his hand flew up and down, but he never touched anything.

When the swordsmanship has reached perfection, the next step is the state of perfection. Perfection means that the swordsmanship is perfect and flawless. Most importantly, to achieve perfection in the swordsmanship, one must have mastered the Fu Bo sword stance.

The Fu Bo sword stance, the power of the sword is like waves, one layer upon another, up to nine layers of waves.

According to the secret book of swordsmanship, Jiuchonglang, even if he has never tempered his body, can use his swordsmanship to kill a skin-tempered warrior who has not mastered perfect martial arts.

However, the secret manual of swordsmanship does not clearly explain how to practice the Fu Bo sword style, leaving only the word "understanding".

These days, apart from his duties, Su Mu has been spending all his remaining time practicing the Fu Bo Sword Technique.

After practicing hard for several months, Su Mu wanted to try to figure out the Fu Bo Sword Style without relying on the panel, relying only on his own efforts and understanding.

But the fact is, these days of hard training have made his body stronger, but his swordsmanship has hardly improved at all.

Insight is something so mysterious that it is hard to say what it is.

Su Mu knew that if he continued to practice hard, perhaps one day he would have a flash of inspiration and be able to comprehend the Fu Bo Sword Style, but the greater possibility was that he would still not make any progress after decades.

The process of developing martial arts from great accomplishment to perfection has trapped countless martial artists to death, and no one dares to say that they will be able to figure out that final step.

“Many people have practiced swordplay for a lifetime, but still may not be able to understand the power of swordplay.”

Su Mu thought to himself, "It's normal that I can't figure it out. It doesn't prove that I'm not good at understanding."

Su Mu didn't hesitate for too long, he called out the system panel.

[Name: Su Mu]

[Identity: Constable (Official)] [Points: 1000 points]

[Martial Arts: Fubo Sword Skills (Great Mastery/+), Archery (Beginner/+)]

The 1000 points were all earned bit by bit by his hard work in performing his duties as a constable.

He earned points through his own efforts, and used them to break through to the realm of perfection in swordsmanship. He did this on his own, without relying on any external things.

He has no regrets about this breakthrough.

Su Mu closed his eyes, thought about it, and put a point on the “+” behind the Fu Bo Sword Technique.

boom!
In an instant, Su Mu felt as if his head had exploded, and countless immersive scenes were suddenly stuffed into his head.

Countless images flashed through his mind almost simultaneously, as if he was watching countless videos at the same time.

There were clearly countless videos, but he was able to see them all clearly at the same time, and every scene seemed as if he had experienced it himself, so clear and impressive.

These scenes include fighting for life and death while wandering in the martial arts world, practicing sword skills in the waves, and fighting on the battlefield as a soldier...

Just when Su Mu's spirit was about to collapse due to these numerous images, suddenly those countless images merged into a ray of light and merged into his swordsmanship.

After countless times of being on the verge of life and death and crawling back from the brink of death, he finally had an epiphany, and his swordsmanship finally reached a state of perfection.

A picture appeared in his mind: he stood on the crest of the wave and slashed out with a force of several levels, actually turning the nine layers of waves into leather armor.

The sword forms nine layers of waves, with the power of Fu Bo!
Su Mu suddenly opened his eyes.

The long knife on the table jumped into his hand, he took a step forward and slashed with the knife.

This knife strike did not involve any special moves; it was just an ordinary cut. Even someone who had never practiced with a knife could do it.

boom!
The knife fell on the door, and in the blink of an eye, the blade had hit the same position nine times. The jujube wood door broke into pieces under the weight.

This is the Fu Bo sword style, one sword contains nine levels of strength!

When the swordsmanship is practiced to this level, it can be said that a butterfly has emerged from its cocoon. There is no need to stick to the moves, as each and every move can contain the power of the Fu Bo sword.

The sword force that can even cut through nine layers of waves, I can’t say how strong it is, but at least in this South City, there are not many people who can defeat him.

Even if Xing Zhaofu came back to life, he would no longer be completely defenseless.

With such strength, it is more than enough for him to be a squad leader in Nancheng Division.

The squad leaders who were at the first level of body tempering were only at the advanced level in swordsmanship and martial arts. If they really fought to the death, they might not be his match.

After mastering the Fu Bo sword style, he felt confident that he could gain a foothold in the world. Even if Nancheng Division could not accommodate him, he could leave calmly.

To put it bluntly, even if he became a bandit and joined a mountain stronghold, he could at least get a seat at the head of the group.

"Brother Taiping promised me a bright future if I could master the Fubo Sword Skill to perfection within three years."

Su Mu said to himself.

He never forgot the terrifying demon that night, and the extremely handsome sword that slayed the demon.

Until now, he still felt a shudder in his heart when he thought of the demon that night. That demon was more terrifying than Xing Zhaofu or even the leader of the Black Dragon Village.

"Being able to kill such a terrifying demon, the identity of Brother Taiping must be extraordinary, at least not inferior to He Yuxing."

Su Mu pondered and said, "The future he promised me shouldn't be too bad."

He was not qualified to choose before, but now, he wants to be a good person... No, he wants to be a person who can decide his own destiny!
