Chapter 472, Form 8
Chapter 472, Form 8
The above is divided into three parts.
Each section has a separate stone wall carving.
Xiao Weiqing looked at the first one, and a thought struck him. A powerful spiritual force surged forth, and his soul followed the spiritual force to touch the first stone wall.
It's very easy.
Xiao Weiqing saw the Starry Sky Martial Arts mark hidden on the stone wall.
Focus your attention.
You can clearly see a figure practicing martial arts, also wielding a knife. The figure's instruction is very simple, without any fancy moves.
then.
Two, three... a total of eighteen figures appeared, each holding a knife.
These figures remained in place, repeating some basic movements, occasionally performing some combo moves, but generally no more than two or three moves. This was very similar to Zhao Jia's teaching philosophy, which did not deliberately pursue anything, but seemed quite mysterious.
Moreover, it was very evocative; even though the force and speed of the sword swings weren't fast, it gave Xiao Weiqing a very imposing feeling.
Xiao Weiqing studied it very carefully, paying attention to every detail. He quickly became engrossed in it until a slight stinging sensation appeared in his mind, at which point he withdrew from his comprehension of the Starry Sky Martial Arts.
He shook his head slightly to dispel the feeling of powerlessness caused by excessive mental exertion.
Xiao Weiqing stood up, a knife appeared in his right hand, and he began to practice.
"Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!"
Several strikes were delivered in quick succession, and the whooshing sound of countless blades tearing through the air echoed continuously in the training room.
Half a day later.
Xiao Weiqing stopped, frowning. He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Recalling the figure's sword swing just now, even though he had practiced every move from the tutorial, he just couldn't get that feeling out of him.
This feels similar to when I first learned the first move of the Infinite Slash.
At that time, he was a beginner in the Wujian Zhan technique but didn't know the proper method. He ended up with a mess of techniques and became more and more confused the more he learned. It was only after Zhao Jia gave him some pointers that he was able to get the hang of it.
But what is Xiao Weiqing's strength now?
How powerful are their souls and spiritual strength?
How come you haven't even mastered two basic moves after all this time?
The movements were almost identical, but it just didn't feel right, it just didn't have the right feel.
"Finch!"
Xiao Weiqing shouted towards the empty space, "The training room is essentially a place for learning. Where there is learning, there must be a teacher, and Finch is that teacher."
This was also something Xueyuan secretly told him: if there was anything he didn't understand, he could ask Finch for advice. Although Finch certainly wouldn't be as meticulous as a professor teaching a formal disciple, he would definitely give some guidance.
As a disciple under a formal name, this is the treatment Xiao Weiqing deserves.
"Xiao Weiqing, is there something you need?"
Sure enough, Finch suddenly appeared in the training room.
Xiao Weiqing raised his question and humbly asked, "I want to ask why, even though I practice that sword technique and my movements are exactly the same, I don't feel that way."
Finch said, "The first Starry Sky Martial Arts on the stone wall was a thirteen-style sword technique that the master casually created in his early years. Later, when the master stopped using the sword, his second disciple, Cui Ruo, perfected it, eventually forming the eighteen basic sword techniques."
Xiao Weiqing nodded, agreeing with his thoughts.
Finch continued, "Although it is only the eighteen basic sword techniques, the master's second disciple, Cui Ruo, is a powerful expert at the Dominator Realm. The martial arts imprint he left behind involves the essence of the art, so simply copying it won't work."
"No two leaves in the world are the same. No matter how perfect your movements are, if you don't grasp the essence, you won't be able to learn the Starry Sky Martial Arts."
"Unlike ordinary martial arts, Starry Sky Martial Arts emphasizes intent over form."
Xiao Weiqing understood Finch's meaning; this was also the problem that was troubling him. "So what should I do?"
Finch said, "Your Earth has a saying: 'Read a book a hundred times and its meaning will become clear.'"
Xiao Weiqing was taken aback, somewhat puzzled. "Are you sure it's true that reading a book a hundred times will make its meaning clear?"
"Um."
"Isn't that just using a clumsy method?"
"What does this have to do with comprehension?"
Xiao Weiqing's soul and spiritual power are both top-notch. Apart from his comprehension, he dares not make any boastful claims, yet now he is telling him that reading a book a hundred times will reveal its meaning.
To put it bluntly, it's about training like crazy.
This has nothing to do with comprehension.
Finch replied, "For those with high comprehension, two repetitions are enough, but for others... even 25684 repetitions won't help."
"..."
"grass!"
Xiao Weiqing cursed inwardly, "Is this referring to him?"
Xiao Weiqing practiced for half a day, maintaining a frequency of two strikes per second, and probably practiced more than 20,000 times in half a day.
"There's one more thing you did wrong," Finch added.
"What?"
"Your spiritual strength is surprising, but you shouldn't try to practice eighteen moves at once; you can't bite off more than you can chew."
With a strong soul, one can see the complete starry sky martial arts imprint, just like Xiao Weiqing.
If one has a second- or third-class divine soul, one can probably only see the first few moves and will not be able to see the later martial arts moves.
Xiao Weiqing scoffed, "We have a saying on Earth, which is to consider the context. Haven't you said that?"
Finch laughed and said, "The eighteen basic sword techniques were just casually imprinted by the master when he mastered the sword technique. They are the most basic of the basics, and there is no special relationship between the moves."
"What are you combining with?"
"The more you combine them, the more wrong you'll be. What you need to do now is forget about the later moves and practice the first three moves well."
Done.
Finch shook his head, ignored Xiao Weiqing, and disappeared into the training room.
Xiao Weiqing twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling that he was being looked down upon.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. Once I've learned these Starry Sky Martial Arts, I'll give him a good beating."
Xiao Weiqing walked to the stone wall, sat down cross-legged, and began to practice the Starry Sky Visualization Technique to recover his depleted mental energy.
An endless starry sky unfolds in my mind, and I continue to illuminate the stars that are not yet fully lit.
With each practice session, that slightly faint star brightens a little more.
Xiao Weiqing's mental strength level will also increase slightly. This slight increase cannot be reflected on the panel, but Xiao Weiqing can feel it and understands the principle of accumulating little by little.
With each breath, Xiao Weiqing's depleted mental energy rapidly recovered.
......
Xiao Weiqing stood up, his mental strength restored to its peak, and even slightly enhanced.
"Try again."
This time, Xiao Weiqing was not greedy. He only focused on the first figure, not missing a single detail, and even tried to put himself in the figure's shoes. He didn't even glance at the other seventeen figures.
Putting aside his comprehension, Xiao Weiqing's main focus was on listening to advice, and he watched for a full half hour.
Xiao Weiqing then withdrew from the martial arts imprint.
"Let's try again!"
Xiao Weiqing took out the Myriad Calamities Blade, and with a flick of his wrist, transformed it into a blade that resembled a human figure, slightly wider than his original blade.
"Huff~ Huff~~~"
Xiao Weiqing swung the blade in his hand, again and again.
The first hundred times were fine; the figure was basically the same as the human figure. Although I didn't quite capture the essence, the shape was similar, the movements were exactly the same, and the speed and frequency were all very normal and regular.
But gradually...
Xiao Weiqing's knife angle, speed, and even frequency were all wrong.
Sometimes it even stops.
But Xiao Weiqing's expression remained unchanged, and he was no longer as anxious as before. He continued to slash forward with Wan Jie, one strike after another.
