Chapter 2: Work hard and upgrade your flying knife skills!
[Skills: Flying Knife Technique (for beginners)]

【Progress: 1/200】

【Effect: Within ten feet, it can penetrate one inch into wood.】

As his realm improved, Lin Ping'an seemed to be infused with a mysterious power. His arms, which had felt heavy and sore as iron and lead, actually felt better quickly. His physical strength improved, and his tired body and mind recovered slightly.

More importantly, there have been new developments in the art of flying knives.

The sword also feels better when drawn. Within ten feet, every shot is accurate, and even half of them can hit the center of the bull's eye.

"I finally got started, and it's useful now."

"This means that within ten feet, as long as I draw my sword, I can cause harm to people by surprise."

"It's a pity that the wound is only one inch, or less than four centimeters. I'm afraid that except for the throat, it is impossible to kill him with one blow."

"But people are not immovable wooden stakes. If you want to truly hit the target every time, you still need to work hard."

"But I practiced flying knives with my right hand, and it seems that I can use them with my left hand just as skillfully. I don't need to practice from the beginning. This is even better, because it means that I can use both hands to throw knives at the same time in the future."

"Now that my physical strength has recovered a little, I can continue to practice. I can't waste time."

After realizing this, Lin Pingan became even more delighted. He began to collect the flying knives and continued practicing.

More than half an hour later.

【Progress: 88/200】

"Now I can almost hit the bull's eye with every strike of my sword within a distance of ten feet, but after the skill upgrade, my proficiency in hitting the bull's eye will not double. I wonder what will happen if I increase the distance to two feet?"

Lin Ping'an whispered to himself, a flying knife is a hidden weapon, and is most suitable for being launched at medium and short ranges. A distance of ten feet is only three meters, which is a short distance, and can be approached with just one step. This distance is too dangerous for the person throwing the flying knife.

The enemy can get close in two steps.

If you can shoot from more than two meters away and hit the target, you can be considered as a real fighter.

Do it when you think of it.

Lin Ping'an took three steps back, making the distance between himself and the wooden board reach two meters before he continued to throw the flying knife.

Snapped!
As expected, the knife hit the wall behind the wooden board.

"The difficulty has indeed increased."

Lin Ping'an was not discouraged. He closed his eyes for a moment, then opened his eyes and swung out with a knife.

peck!
The flying knife was stuck in the corner of the wooden board, shaking.

【Progress: 90/200】

Lin Ping'an was about to take the knife and shoot again, but he was stunned when he saw the dark blue words in front of his eyes.

"I remember it was 88 just now, how come it has become 90 now?"

"An increase of 2 points at once?"

"Maybe I saw it wrong."

Lin Pingan was a little confused, then regained his composure and said, "Just give it a try and you'll know."

Lin Ping'an concentrated his mind and calmed down again, raised his hand and swung out with a knife.

Deng!
The flying knife landed on the wall behind him.

【Progress: 91/200】

"Come again!"

Lin Ping'an frowned slightly and continued to draw his knife.

But not only did he fail to hit the wooden board three times in a row, but he also failed to get into the right state.

Lin Ping'an adjusted his state and finally hit the wooden board again after throwing the last flying knife in his hand.

【Progress: 93/200】

"Sure enough."

Lin Ping'an's eyes suddenly became clear, and his understanding of the panel deepened. "I wonder what will happen if I can hit the bull's eye at this distance."

Lin Ping'an was curious, but quickly put these thoughts behind him.

These will only affect his sword-drawing.

After that, he tested himself by throwing a flying knife from three meters away.

At a distance of about ten meters, the target of the target, which was the size of a finger, could not be seen clearly, and even the wooden board became very small.

Lin Ping'an tried more than ten times, but failed few times. All of them were ineffective exercises and were far from the distance of two meters.

After realizing this, Lin Ping'an stood at a distance of two meters and continued to practice flying knives.

As the sun set, Lin Ping'an's arms began to feel sore, so he had to stop practicing.

At this time, more and more people came to the backyard, obviously they were returning from escorting the convoy.

Gao Biaotou also came over and shouted from a distance: "Boy, how is your training going?"

"I have already gotten started. Thank you for your guidance, Captain Gao."

Seeing the head escort Lin Pingan, he immediately expressed his gratitude.

"You've gotten started so quickly?"

Gao Biaotou raised his voice, somewhat incredulous.

Although the flying knife technique is not a profound martial art, it does require a lot of skills. It took him three days to get the hang of it.

"You kid are not lying to me on purpose, are you?"

Head Buddy Gao walked around Lin Ping'an and pursed his lips, "Come on, show me how you perform."

"it is good."

Lin Ping'an said with a fist, then picked up the throwing knife from the side, took a deep breath, stared at the wooden board, and then swung his arm and flew straight.

peck!
The flying knife hit the wooden board at an angle. Although it didn't hit the center of the target, it was not far away.

"hiss!"

Gao Biaotou sucked in a breath of cold air and stared at Lin Pingan in surprise, "You've really gotten started. Have you practiced flying knives a long time ago?"

Head escort Gao was amazed.

Being able to hit the wooden board from a distance of two meters can be considered as a glimpse of the technique.

The next step is to enter the realm of true combat power.

"It's all thanks to Captain Gao's good teaching."

Lin Ping'an acted very modestly, which made Gao Biaotou very happy.

"By the way, Captain Gao, what are you doing..."

Lin Ping'an looked at the escorts coming and going around him in confusion.

"Hahaha, what a great event! The chief escort just closed a big deal today and gave out a reward, inviting all the brothers in the escort agency to come and have a good meal."

"You joined at the right time, kid. You also have a share. Go to the accountant Mr. Huang to collect your reward."

Head Biao Gao patted Lin Ping'an on the shoulder and laughed.

"So that's it."

Lin Pingan suddenly realized, but he was not in a hurry to claim the reward. Instead, he continued to ask indirectly, "Captain Gao, I heard that the young escort chief went hunting. I wonder which escort chiefs did he take with him this time?"

"Aren't they just Escort Captain Zheng and Escort Captain Shi? Whenever they're not escorting, they're the ones who accompany Young Escort Captain. Why are you asking these questions?" Escort Captain Gao looked at Lin Ping'an suspiciously.

"nothing."

Lin Pingan immediately shook his head and explained casually: "I just didn't expect that a young and promising young man like Shao Biaotou, who comes from a wealthy family, would be obsessed with hunting."

However, he became more and more distressed. If Lin Pingzhi took these people with him every time he went hunting, he really had no way of being sure when Lin Ping would kill Yu Renyan and when the Fuwei Escort Agency would be wiped out.

"Everyone has a hobby. Okay, I'm relieved to see that you've gotten started. Flying knives training is not something that can be done overnight. If you practice diligently and persevere, sooner or later you will be able to reach my level."

"I wonder what realm Gao Biaotou is in?"

Lin Pingan asked curiously.

"Hey, you'll know when you get there."

Head escort Gao chuckled and put the money bag in his arms, "Okay, I'm going to go have a drink with Lao Qian and Lao Wu, you go take care of yourself."

"Take care, Captain Gao."

After watching Captain Gao leave, Lin Ping'an followed the crowd to the accounting office and received one or two taels of silver.

After all, he had just joined the Fuwei Escort Agency and was just an ordinary escort who had never been on a mission. Naturally, his status was not as high as that of the escort leader.

But he could also hear from others that this ounce of silver was enough for a family of three to live on for ten days, and if they were a little frugal they could live on for half a month without any problem.

The escort agency distributed money to hundreds of people at one time, plus the money given to the escort leader, so hundreds of taels of silver were given out at once.

"Now I am finally not penniless."

Putting the finger-sized silver in his arms, Lin Ping'an felt a sense of security.

No matter where you are or what the situation is, you can't survive without money.

A penny is enough to make a hero fall.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have fainted from hunger at the door of Fuwei Escort Agency.

Fortunately, Mrs. Wang was kind enough to have him rescued, otherwise he might have already passed away.

"Since I have nothing to do now and my arms are too sore to practice flying knives, why not go out for a walk? Maybe there will be a chance..."

Lin Pingan's heart moved and he walked out of the Fuwei Escort Agency.

Fuwei Escort Agency is located on Dongmen Street in Fuzhou Prefecture.

Not long after walking out, you will see a busy street leading directly to the East Gate.

After walking only a few steps, Lin Ping'an felt a few vague gazes falling on him, but when he looked around, he didn't find anything unusual.

"Is it an illusion caused by my nervousness?"

Lin Ping'an continued to move forward, but as he got closer to the city gate, he felt more and more uncomfortable.

"Could it be that someone from the Qingcheng Sect is watching me in secret?"

Lin Ping'an stopped immediately, then turned back silently.

He didn't dare to gamble.

Since we know that the Qingcheng Sect destroyed the Fuwei Escort Agency not because of Yu Renyan's death, but for the Lin family's "Bixie Sword Manual", it is normal that the Qingcheng Sect's people have already set up surveillance and kept an eye on everyone in the Fuwei Escort Agency in Fuzhou Prefecture.

"I'm afraid that the Fuwei Escort Agency really doesn't have many days left."

Lin Pingan felt solemn in his heart, his fingers trembled slightly, but he appeared calm on the surface.

As he entered the Fuwei Escort Agency, the vague feeling of being watched disappeared.

Lin Ping'an didn't have the energy to figure out whether it was just a psychological effect or someone was really watching him.

A blue panel appeared in front of his eyes.

[Skills: Flying Knife Technique (for beginners)]

【Progress: 129/200】

[Effect: None]

"Since we can't avoid it, we can only give it a try."

"It's just that I really need to rest today."

Lin Ping'an felt his arms were heavy. Although he wanted to continue practicing, he had to give up the idea.

With the soreness in his arms now, he couldn't concentrate at all, and the effectiveness was probably less than one tenth.

Lin Ping'an went to the kitchen to eat, then went back to his room to rest.

……

The next day.

Wake up feeling refreshed.

The soreness and swelling in my arms has almost disappeared.

At least it doesn't affect sword practice.

At this time, other escorts also began training.

Lin Ping'an brought the throwing knife to the backyard, looked around to see if there was anyone around, made a mark on a cypress tree as thick as a bucket, and continued practicing.

"It's a pity that there are not enough throwing knives. I'll try to get a few more when we have lunch."

Lin Pingan muttered to himself.

Then he quickly suppressed his distracting thoughts and concentrated his attention on the flying knife in his hand.

bass!
The flying knife flew out of his hand and instantly pierced into the cypress tree, penetrating half an inch into the wood, but it did not hit the center of the bull's eye he had drawn.

But the proficiency still increased by 1 point.

【Progress: 130/200】

"You must break through to the next level before noon today."

Lin Ping'an set a goal for himself and continued to concentrate on practicing sword skills.

There's nothing fancy about it, it's just a straight forward arm swinging motion.

Because killing people doesn't require any fancy moves.

After five shots, only one missed the target.

Lin Pingan stepped forward, took back the knife, and then started a new round of shooting.

As he was practicing sword skills wholeheartedly, he had completely forgotten the passage of time. Only when the words on the dark blue panel became blurred and then clear again did Lin Pingan stop.

After that experience, Lin Pingan knew that he had made another breakthrough.

As the breakthrough occurred, Lin Ping'an once again felt a mysterious force emerging from his body, quickly flowing throughout his body, and his fatigue instantly disappeared.

This time, Lin Ping'an clearly felt that his strength had increased a lot.

Because the flying knife in his hand was as light as a feather.

At the same time, vision and perception have also been enhanced, which was not available in the first breakthrough.

Lin Ping'an retreated three feet away, and the bull's eye he had drawn on the cypress tree was still clearly visible to him.

And Lin Ping'an had a vague feeling that he could still hit the target even if he stood at this distance.

At this time, Lin Pingan stared at the deep blue panel in front of his eyes.
