The First Sage of Military Strategists

Chapter 31 The Hundred-Crack Blade Mastery!

Cleaning up the mess afterwards is no longer Han Qing's business. Lao Xiangzi's head will be stuck on a wooden pole and displayed to the public, and his body will be abandoned at the market. No one is allowed to collect and bury him for seven days.

On this day, Han Qing's reputation in the county town soared, and everyone spread the word that the Han family's child was promising.

In the eyes of many poor people in the city, even becoming a minor official in the government was a remarkable thing, after all, it meant eating the government's rice.

Furthermore, Han Qing's performance was so perfect at such a young age, which amazed many people.

Many older executioners, even those carrying out their first execution at Caishikou, might not have been as calm and decisive as Han Qing.

on the way back.

Yang Wu led the way, followed by Ma Er and a large group of constables, all praising Han Qing highly.

Han Qing appeared calm on the surface, but was inwardly extremely excited.

He wasn't excited about his debut performance, but rather that the rank of the Seven Killings Stele was slowly climbing. It had already reached 92% before, and with the killing of a powerful figure like Lao Xiangzi, he figured he might be able to reach 100% and step into the second rank!
When he arrived at the entrance of the government office, the progress of the Seven Killings Stele on the panel had finally reached the second level.

In an instant, a buzzing sound rang in his mind.

"Seven Killings Stele, advanced to Tier 2!"

A boundless killing intent suddenly surged from his body, causing his five senses to become disordered and plunging him into a dreamlike realm of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

He could not hear, see, or speak; he could only feel a large number of dark shadows rushing towards him.

This naturally triggered his defensive instincts, and he couldn't help but draw his sword and cleave the shadowy figures apart.

Fortunately, the illusion came and went quickly.

In an instant, the shadow vanished, and Han Qing returned to reality. In the void of his mind, the Seven Killings Stele appeared faintly, now with a faint silver glow compared to before.

A new understanding dawned on Han Qing's mind, and immense joy welled up within him.

"The Seven Killings Stele, Level Two, allows you to choose and inherit two martial arts techniques at once after killing an enemy!"

"In this way, my martial arts training speed will definitely increase greatly!"

"What a powerful Seven Kill Stele! What an incredible Seven Kill Stele!"

In an instant, Han Qing felt that the future was bright and limitless.

He was under considerable pressure to reach the third realm of martial arts within six months.

After all, it took him three months to reach the peak of the initial stage.

So, Yang Wu said that he would work hard to become a government guard in six months.

In reality, Yang Wu also felt that the hope was slim. He said this only to spur Han Qing on and prevent him from becoming complacent.

His true feeling was that Han Qing had a chance next year, or even a sure thing.

Now, Han Qing's confidence has greatly increased. With the axeman class combined with the second-tier Seven Killings Stele, it would be a miracle if he couldn't get through this.

After thinking it over, he returned to the yamen's police station compound.

Yang Wu gave a loud shout, and everyone dispersed. Except for a few people who needed to patrol and guard, everyone else got a short vacation.

Han Qing arrived at a secluded corner of the training ground. With a thought, the Seven Killings Stele appeared in his mind. The soul light spot from Lao Xiangzi was shimmering, and Lao Xiangzi's face was faintly visible within it.

"absorb."

Han Qing murmured to himself, and the light spot was immediately absorbed by his soul. A large number of fragmented images and trivial murmurs first appeared in his mind.

"Haha! So what if you're a bandit? You can..."
"As long as I get rich!"

"You unfilial son, get out of here!"

...

"My sword technique was learned by my grandfather from the Mangting Tianlang Fortress. It is an extremely profound martial art called the Crescent Moon Blade. Watch closely!"

...

"Tan Xiang, you're a skilled martial artist with a ruthless heart. After three months on the mountain, I've seen that you're no ordinary person. From today onwards, you're the fourth leader."

...

"Scholar Yin Yang, is this Spirit Refining Technique real or fake?"

"It's true, as long as you help me collect a hundred pairs of young boys and girls, I'll also give you the following cultivation techniques!" At this point, the image shattered, and Han Qing rubbed his temples.

He discovered that after the Seven Killings Stele advanced, the number of memory fragments he could see seemed to have increased.

This old man, whose real name was Tan Xiang, was actually from Mangting.

He learned from the book that Mangting was located in the west of Dayu, a vast and desolate grassland containing thousands of tribes of all sizes, which were collectively called Mangting.

For some reason, Tan Xiang later joined Black Cloud Mountain and became the third leader in just three months. She also got involved with the Yin-Yang Scholar.

Black Cloud Mountain is located just outside the city. The terrain inside the mountain is complex, and a group of bandits is hiding there. Unexpectedly, they also have a secret connection with the Yin-Yang Sect, which makes him feel that the situation in the county town is even more complicated.

As he spoke, a large amount of information appeared in front of him.

Please select two martial arts skills to inherit their proficiency levels.

1. Howling Moon Skill (100% Perfect)

A low-level physical cultivation method circulating in the Mangting Grassland, it can condense the power of the roaring moon, making it even more powerful under the moonlight.

2. Black Mountain Kung Fu (89.2% of the total)

This is a low-level method of body cultivation and Daoist practice circulating in the Black Mountain area of ​​Sichuan. It can condense Black Mountain Force, which is powerful and can break through protective soft armor.

3. Crescent Moon Blade Technique (Mastery 92.2%)

The third-rate sword technique, which is popular in the Mangting area, is said to have originated from Tianlang Fortress, the holy land of Mangting. The sword strikes are like a full moon, with great force and heavy weight, and the power is not bad.

4. Mandarin Duck Spirit Refining Method (Mastery 45.6%)

This is a Yin-Yang Daoist method for cultivating the spirit, which involves absorbing Yin to replenish Yang and absorbing Yang to replenish Yin. Practicing it can help one concentrate the mind and gather the soul, opening the door to the Yin-Yang Dao, but it carries the risk of going astray and becoming possessed by demons.

5. Horse training techniques of the Qianning clan of Western Mang (beginner level 14.6%)

...

Old Xiangzi's life experience seems to be extremely rich, and at this moment, no less than dozens of martial arts skills appear before him.

However, among these martial arts, the most valuable are the Crescent Moon Blade Technique and the Spirit Refining Technique.

Although those two training methods were highly proficient, they were both mediocre.

After much deliberation, Han Qing finally chose swordsmanship and spirit cultivation techniques.

Needless to say, his swordsmanship is near perfect, and with the system's third-rate certification, he will definitely be able to convert a large amount of skill points into the Hundred Crack Blade.

As for the Spirit Refining Method, Han Qing basically chooses it whenever possible, because Spirit Refiners are extremely rare, which also means that the Spirit Refining Method is more difficult to practice than Body Body Martial Arts.

Without the Seven Killings Stele as an aid, it's hard to know when I would be able to achieve results.

Therefore, he chose to inherit the Crescent Moon Blade first.

In an instant, his brain buzzed, and a large amount of information about this sword technique flooded his mind, to the point that he swayed as if he had drunk fake alcohol.

Fortunately, he adapted quickly and regained his footing.

On the panel, the proficiency level of the Crescent Moon Blade Technique began to rise rapidly.

Han Qing immediately chose to transfer the skill to the Hundred-Crack Blade, and the latter's proficiency began to rise rapidly.

For a moment, Han Qing felt extremely uncomfortable, as if someone was forcibly instilling decades of martial arts experience into him, causing his mind to become dizzy and confused.

He still wanted to practice martial arts, but he had to give up now. He turned around and went back to the courtyard, where he rested in his room while digesting the martial arts techniques.

For three whole days, Han Qing only went to the Zao Ban compound once a day, and spent the rest of the time in his room digesting the martial arts memories.

The level of the Hundred Crack Blade Technique is improving at an astonishing speed, from not even entering the door, to entering the door, to mastering, to minor success, and finally to major success.

The proficiency level of the Crescent Moon Blade Technique was thus reset to zero and disappeared from the panel.

in the room.

Han Qing opened his eyes, slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and his mind was already extremely familiar with every move of the Hundred-Crack Blade.

He got up and went into the courtyard. At that moment, there was the sound of wind and thunder on the horizon, followed by a downpour.

With a slight thought, Han Qing suddenly drew his sword and began practicing the Hundred Crack Blade technique in the pouring rain.
