Chen Chuan held the knife in his hand, and returned the salute with a fist, saying, "Senior Apprentice Zheng, please advise." Teacher Zheng reminded from the side: "Student Chen , later I will ask you to only Parry, not to fight back, nor to dodge. Just stand on the spot and use the methods I taught you to neutralize and transform Strength. After you have mastered these Skills proficiently, then we will continue to the next stage." Zheng Tongtong skillfully waved the thick-backed knife in her hand and said, "Classmate Chen , please draw your knife." Chen Chuan reached out and grasped the hilt of the knife, and slowly pulled out the Snow Emperor Blade. As a flash of snow-white Blade gradually appeared, a chill seemed to appear in the entire training ground. Searᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Oh? Mutated weapon?" Teacher Zheng was stunned for a moment. It was rare to see. There are not many people with this skill nowadays, and... His expression became a little serious. The cold light on the knife also gave him an unspeakable sense of threat. Immediately, he could be sure that there were definitely many experts who had fallen under this knife. Zheng Tongtong waited until the Snow Emperor Blade was completely drawn and Chen Chuan took his stance, and said, "Junior Apprentice Chen, be careful." After saying that, she jumped and chopped down with a knife. Her movements and posture were very agile, feeling like an inflated ball, bouncing over. Chen Chuan remembered Teacher Zheng's words, did not dodge, but used the method taught by Teacher Zheng to move the Mutated Tissue, and used the Snow Emperor Blade to meet the knife horizontally. With a bang, a strong Strength was transmitted. He sank slightly, and the special floor also sank down, and this Strength was suppressed for a while before it disappeared. Zheng Tongtong did not continue to attack, but took a few steps back to give Chen Chuan time to adapt and think. Obviously, this was not the first time she had sparred with someone, and she was very experienced. Chen Chuan also knew her good intentions. He thought for a while. Although he had neutralized the Strength just now, it was too slow. Under the prerequisite conditions that he could not dodge, if Zheng Tongtong came with a second knife, he would immediately be split out of the spot, and the entire defensive posture would be messed up, so next he needed to improve the Speed of neutralizing as much as possible. After thinking clearly, he nodded to Zheng Tongtong . Zheng Tongtong's knife just now was just to test his endurance and know what level she should reach. Now she already knew it, so she came up and chopped again. With a bang, Chen Chuan steadily caught it. This time, his feet did not sink together, but had some kind of reasonable distribution, which also implicitly contained a Counterattack stance. Zheng Tongtong praised: "Junior Apprentice, well done!" She originally wanted to hold back some Strength, but Chen Chuan caught it all at once. Although the neutralizing Internal energy was not yet pure, it was very standard and completely in place. She said: "Junior Apprentice Chen, your foundation is very solid, then I won't be polite next." With that, she raised her knife and slashed down again, but this time it didn't end with just one knife, but she slashed hundreds of knives at him in a row! And the posture of each of her slashes was exactly the same, whether it was the distance of the swing or the Strength of the swing, there was no difference at all. And every time the next knife came over, it was necessarily the moment when Chen Chuan had just neutralized the Strength, not giving him any buffer space at all, showing an extremely solid basic skill and mastery. Under such oppressive slashing, Chen Chuan had to do everything possible to mobilize the Mutated Tissue to neutralize the Strength. Although he almost couldn't adjust in the first dozen knives, under Zheng Tongtong's Gao Ming's sparring methods, he quickly adapted and mastered the Skills of neutralizing Strength. In the next dozens of knives, he became more calm. Teacher Zheng had been watching from the side. When Zheng Tongtong had slashed thousands of knives in a row and Chen Chuan had completely adapted to this kind of slashing, he finally said: "Okay, stop for a moment." Zheng Tongtong immediately took a step back and returned to her previous position. Although she had maintained a high-intensity chop just now, her breathing felt very stable, and her whole state seemed relaxed, indicating that the amount of activity just now was nothing to her at all. Chen Chuan adjusted his breathing, raised his eyes to look at Zheng Tongtong , and nodded to her to express his gratitude. This one is not simple. Not to mention the combat power, he had never seen this level of sparring before. He only had to think about how to do his best, and he didn't have to think about anything else, because the other side would naturally give you the appropriate response, Guide you to perform at your best. If he were to practice by himself, to reach that final state, the most optimistic estimate would probably take a whole day, but all of this was compressed into the thousands of knives just now. Now he felt that the Skills of neutralizing Internal energy seemed to have been remembered by the Mutated Tissue in his body. This was actually an inevitable feedback after being stimulated by the outside world and the need of self-awareness. No wonder those Martial Artist would spend a lot of money to hire a good private trainer. It is indeed different. A good sparring partner is of great help to Martial Artist . Teacher Zheng said: "Student Chen , next I will let Tongtong increase the difficulty, you are prepared." He greeted his daughter, "Tongtong." Zheng Tongtong indicated that she knew, and she reminded Chen Chuan : "Junior Apprentice Chen, this time I will increase the Strength of the chop, you have to be careful." Chen Chuan said okay and straightened his posture. Seeing that he was ready, Zheng Tongtong didn't hesitate and chopped down again, and it was obvious that the Strength it brought was much stronger than last time. After seeing this, Chen Chuan didn't just wait for her to chop down, but raised his hand slightly and put the back of the Snow Emperor Blade up. After holding it up, there was no such strong collision as before. Only the Strength on the knife pressed his whole body down a little, as if the knife was not chopping up, but putting it up. Teacher Zheng looked at it and was very satisfied with this move. Skills is to use all favorable conditions to reduce unfavorable factors for yourself. If the opponent's Strength changes, you should of course look for new breakthroughs. This move is very proactive, and it does not exceed the scope he limited. Very good, no wonder the Combat strategy on the admission evaluation was top-notch. He decided to teach Chen Chuan seriously because he valued this point. Skills and physical fitness can be compensated through practice and other methods, but this kind of combat talent is rarely possessed by anyone, and it is almost impossible to improve through acquired methods. As a qualified sparring partner, Zheng Tongtong saw that he had begun to take the initiative to change, and she also correspondingly increased the difficulty of feeding moves. Her offensive moves were no longer limited to straight chops, but the moves were changed to left and right horizontal chops with higher difficulty to block. Chen Chuan did have some difficulty blocking it at first, but he quickly adjusted. After he could roughly adapt, Zheng Tongtong changed her moves to diagonal slashes, and then changed to thrusts, then to sweeping... Every time Chen Chuan adapted and kept up, she would change her attack method. And after Chen Chuan was able to cope with all of these, she followed closely with the combination of various knife moves, without leaving any gaps in the middle, and the connection was Anomaly tight. Under such high RhythmGuide and feeding moves, Chen Chuan's mastery of neutralizing Internal energy Skills was also steadily improving. Teacher Zheng said at this time: "Let's stop here for now, continue in the afternoon." Zheng Tongtong heard the instruction and neatly retracted the knife. Chen Chuan looked at the time and realized that it was already eleven thirty. It turned out that an entire morning had passed without realizing it. Teacher Zheng said, "Tongtong, go prepare." "Okay." Zheng Tongtong turned around and walked out. After waving the knife for several hours, she was not panting at all, and she didn't even sweat. Obviously, her Internal energy and Breathing Technique had reached an extremely Gao Ming level. Teacher Zheng walked up to Chen Chuan , looked him up and down, and saw that he also had no signs of fatigue, and his eyes were still shining brightly, and he was very satisfied. He said: "Student Chen , your foundation is very good, not bad. Based on your performance, we will increase the intensity in the afternoon and focus on Internal energy." Chen Chuan took a breath and said, "Okay, Teacher Zheng ." He was clear that, in fact, until now, the training could still be considered simple, because Zheng Tongtong , as the attacking party, had only made changes in the knife moves so far, and had not used any changes in Internal energy. The latter was the real test of people. Teacher Zheng pointed out some things he needed to pay attention to, and then smelled a burst of meat aroma wafting from the front yard. He smiled and said, "Go eat something first, come with me." He took Chen Chuan to the front yard, and saw a barbecue grill set up here. Under Zheng Tongtong's operation, slices of meat were being strung up. Teacher Zheng said: "Sharpening the knife does not delay the work of chopping wood. With good food to stimulate, it will be more energetic to practice. I think, for every Academy class, whether it is literature or martial arts, there should be a circle of barbecue next to it. If you learn well, you have something to eat, if you don't learn well, you can watch others eat. Guarantee that every student will be screaming to study." Zheng Tongtong couldn't help but said: "Dad, this is just your personal hobby." Teacher Zheng said: "How can this be my personal hobby? The most beautiful things in the world are eating and sleeping. We who practice Martial Combat only have the strength to fight with others if we eat well and sleep well." He stepped forward, took a skewer of grilled food and threw it to Chen Chuan , "Try it." Chen Chuan took it and tasted it, and was immediately a little surprised. The meat tasted very good, the skin was crispy, the meat inside was tender, and it was full and juicy when you bite into it. It felt warm and quickly replenished the consumed physical strength, giving him the feeling of eating Nutrition Paste. Teacher Zheng smiled and said: "This is not ordinary mutton, but High Cliff Sheep raised in special areas obtained through "ZhanTong United' channels, which is specially for us Martial Artist to enjoy. This is also a welfare for our teachers and students from the Processing Bureau." Chen Chuan turned his mind. In fact, compared to providing expensive Drugs, good Ingredients actually require relatively less effort, but they can bring great pleasure and satisfaction to people. The Processing Bureau's arrangements in this regard can easily enhance people's sense of identity, which can be said to be a bargain. As for ZhanTong United, he had never heard of this Company before. He checked the Boundary Token and learned that this Company's business specializes in various niche items and rare things. No matter how novel and rare the things are, as long as you can afford the price, this Company has channels to help you find a way to get it. After eating the skewer in his hand, Zheng Tongtong handed him a dozen more grilled skewers, and he said thank you and took it. Teacher Zheng said: "To fully absorb the nutrition inside, you need intense exercise. This meat is enough for your afternoon training." The Strength I taught you, you have initially mastered, but that is not your own. Just as everyone has their own habits, everyone also has their own unique Strength, so in the afternoon training, you have to find your own Strength!"
