A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 74: One Step Deeper

The stuff in this black porcelain bottle was so strong! He just sniffed it in the wind, and it caused such a big reaction?

Duan Rong put the black porcelain bottle back into his inner pocket and prepared to go back and find another opportunity to study it carefully!
Duan Rong kicked Wu Hui's headless body into the pit, then threw his head and mace in as well, cursing, "You bald ass, you go to the bottom!"

Then, Duan Rong dragged Zhou Shoushan's body and pushed it on Wu Hui. At this time, Duan Rong turned his head and looked at the ghost-head knife of Zhou Shoushan on the ground.

He took off the severed hand from the ghost-head knife and threw it into the corpse pit. He grabbed the ghost-head knife in his hand, his eyes moved, and he silently said: "Read the weapon spirit!"

Duan Rong looked at the data appearing in front of him.

Object: Sword-head knife.

Weapon spirit level: first level.

Devouring requirements: Host's mental strength level 1 (satisfied).

Devouring effect: Mastery of Huangquan swordsmanship.

He had no intention of devouring the spirit of the ghost-head knife. He was just curious about what kind of sword technique Zhou Shoushan used, which had a very methodical defensive technique.

It turned out to be the Huangquan Sword Technique!
It seems that this sword technique is also found among the weapon spirits in the weapon rack in the Yuanshun Escort Agency’s martial arts training ground!
There are only three martial arts in the spirit of Xiao Zongting's broken-blade broadsword!
One of them is Qinggong!
In addition to the Cloud Snake Step, the other two are the Hinayana martial arts' Five Tigers and Sheep Sabres and the middle school martial arts' Thirteen Head-Cutting Styles!

In other words, Xiao Zongting's way of cultivation, whether it is the Inner Breath Realm stage or the True Qi Realm stage, is to specialize in one thing!
As the saying goes, all doors lead to success!
To go deep into one thing is the way to practice!

Moreover, after years of exploration and improvement by Xiao Zongting, the Five Tigers and Sheep Knife has achieved a good balance in all aspects, and is far superior to those common items on the market!

Among the six escort leaders of Yuanshun Escort Agency, five of them were trained in this sword technique.

It can be seen that there is something to this sword technique!
This is what Duan Rong has always thought, because you can't chew too much!

However, after experiencing the initial integration of Cloud Snake Step and Five Tigers and Sheep Knife in the past few days, as well as today's bloody battle at Zhou Shoushan, Duan Rong's thoughts have subtly changed!
Ordinary warriors would naturally be greedy for more titles, but he directly raised his level by devouring weapon spirits!

Why limit yourself?

Moreover, Zhou Shoushan's Huangquan swordsmanship today was quite good at defense, which made Duan Rong see the bright spot!
Different martial arts have different focuses and are suitable for different occasions!
Although the Five Tigers and Sheep Sword is very balanced in all aspects, from another perspective, can't it be said that no aspect of it is particularly outstanding?

Although balance is an overall excellence, it is also a partial mediocrity!

For example: This Huangquan sword technique, although weak in attack, is strong in defense!

Moreover, Duan Rong felt that after Xiao Zongting's repeated exploration, the structure of the Five Tigers and Sheep Sword martial arts moves had become very complete!
As long as I use this structure as a framework, fill it with the essence of other martial arts, and integrate them, it will become a richer and more varied Five Tigers and Sheep Sword!

On the basis of inheriting Xiao Zongting's achievements, he developed his own characteristics!
As the saying goes, a stone from another mountain can be used to polish a jade!
Perhaps he could use the ability to devour weapon spirits to embark on a completely different path of cultivation!

Although Duan Rong thought so, he did not devour the ghost-head knife spirit in his hand. After all, after devouring the spirit, he would feel uncomfortable in his brain!

And in the training ground of Yuanshun Escort Agency, there are also spirit weapons that have mastered this sword technique, so why should he be in such a hurry?

Duan Rong thought so and was about to throw the ghost-head knife in his hand into the pit!

But at this moment, Duan Rong suddenly noticed that the blade of the ghost-head knife, which was reflected by the sunlight, was actually flashing a faint blue light!
Duan Rong's eyes narrowed. "What is this?" Duan Rong's eyes suddenly moved, and he vaguely guessed an answer in his heart!
Duan Rong held a ghost-head knife in his hand and slashed the back of Zhou Shoushan's body as it lay in the pit!

Zhou Shoushan had just died, and his body was still warm. The knife slashed across his back, leaving a half-foot-long wound, and blood oozed out from the flesh...

After just a few breaths, the blood began to turn black and the wound had already festered...

Duan Rong immediately smelled a foul odor!
This smell, like the smell coming from the black porcelain bottle, is equally foul!

However, within a few breaths, the wound on Zhou Shoushan's back had festered to the size of a human face, and it finally stopped spreading...

The wound had turned black, and pus and blood were slowly flowing out of the wound like maggots...

Duan Rong's face turned very ugly!
The ghost-head knife in Zhou Shoushan's hand was obviously tempered with the poison in the black porcelain bottle!

I don’t know what this poison is made of!

The toxicity is so strong!

Duan Rong thought back to his previous fight with Zhou Shoushan, and suddenly he felt terrified!
If I had been careless at that time, he would probably have been the one to die!
Duan Rong found that he seemed to have underestimated the viciousness and cruelty of the gangsters!
Using every possible means, being as disgusting as maggots and as vicious as snakes and scorpions, in fact, this is the norm in the underworld!
All that gentleness, chivalry and heroism is nothing but the foolish fantasies of fools!

Duan Rong took a deep breath and threw the ghost-head knife in his hand into the pit!
Then he lowered his head and looked at the bodies of Kong Bin and Zhang Zheng!
The bodies of the two men were relatively clean, with only a small bloodstain on the chest. They were lying on the ground beside the pit, just like they were asleep!
Duan Rong saw an oxtail knife placed next to Zhang Zheng. Only then did he notice that the blade of the oxtail knife had been broken in four or five places. It was a useless knife for menial disciples to practice martial arts!

Yes, only after being promoted to an apprentice escort master, will Yuanshun Escort Agency equip him with a brand new oxtail knife, and Zhang Zheng is not qualified yet!

"You don't even have a decent weapon, why do you bother to wade into this muddy water?"

Duan Rong sighed with some regret. He reached out his hand and wiped away the dried blood scab at the corner of Zhang Zheng's mouth.

When he saw this useless sword, all kinds of scenes from his time as a menial disciple suddenly flooded into Duan Rong’s mind!

Duan Rong looked at Kong Bin and Zhang Zheng with a somewhat sad look!

Young face!

The face of death!

Among their group of menial disciples, only four took part in the final examination!

Besides himself, there are Kong Bin, Zhang Zheng and Li Chong!
They are already considered powerful. At least they dare to challenge their own destiny and are unwilling to succumb to it!

Li Chong, failed the assessment, hanged himself!

Kong Bin and Zhang Zheng were also dead at this time!
He was the only one who survived!

But Duan Rong knew very well that he was no longer the original owner, as the original owner had died of illness long ago!

The road to success for that group of menial disciples was, in fact, a total defeat, without a single exception!
You have to climb out from the bottom! It's equally difficult in any world!
