disaster strikes

Chapter 50 Ancient Xuan Country

after an hour.

"Are you really sure that you want to follow me to the Ancient Xuan Kingdom in the Eastern Continent?"

When Xuanzong learned about Chen Mo's coming, he stood on the edge of the deck looking at the sea, and couldn't help frowning slightly, obviously he didn't think that Chen Mo would come to him.

"Yes, Master Xuanzong."

Chen Mo firmly said: "The reason why I practiced mind power since I was a child is entirely because I was born in the Western Continent, but deep down in my heart, I have long been fascinated by martial arts in the Eastern Continent. I have strengthened my belief, compared to the path of a supernatural being, I believe that one day, I will achieve higher achievements in the martial arts path, please accept me as an apprentice no matter what!"

Immediately afterwards, Chen Mo showed his basic boxing skills in front of Xuanzong.

Seeing that Chen Mo did have some basic boxing attainments, and that he was rescued by the other party, Xuanzong reluctantly nodded.

"Unfortunately, Zhang Qiang is no longer here, otherwise his Tongbi Fist and Rising Dragon Fist would be more suitable for you."

Chen Mo hurriedly said: "Master Xuanzong, what I'm after is not skills and moves."

"Ok?"

Xuanzong turned his head and looked at Chen Mo suspiciously.

Chen Mo continued: "As the saying goes, if you don't practice martial arts, it will be empty in the end. What I want to learn is not ordinary martial arts moves, but basic skills and inner skills. If any martial arts move is not supported by basic skills and inner skills , will eventually be a loft in the air, a mirror flower in the water moon, and duckweed without roots."

The so-called martial arts moves can be compared to the fighting skills of the disaster world, and they are also called killing techniques by martial artists.

The basic skills and internal skills are things that most martial arts masters sneered at when they were young, but they will pursue them in reverse after a certain age. Not only does it take a long time to practice quietly, but it has little effect, and it is often accompanied by corresponding exercises. This is also similar to the first-level predator stage of the Scourgers, from the initial pursuit of combat skill strength to the pursuit of professional strengthening training.

"You can have such awareness."

Xuanzong stared at Chen Mo for a long time, showing a sad look.

"I'm ashamed to say that I didn't realize this until I was 30 years old, and I was regarded as the resurgent talent of Huayimen, and you can have such awareness at this age, if I hadn't become an adult now. Without the useless people, there is no hope of Huayimen's revival..."

The side effects of the body damage recovery agent seemed to have begun to appear in Xuanzong's body, and he could clearly feel that his body was undergoing uncontrollable mutations.

With the dislocation of the meridians in the body and the closure of the acupuncture points, his martial arts foundation is slowly disappearing.

This is undoubtedly a huge blow to a martial arts practitioner.

"I'm already a useless person, are you sure you want to follow me?"

"I'm sure."

Chen Mo said firmly: "I know that my basic skills are very poor. If you hadn't encountered such an accident, you wouldn't have liked me at all. From some aspects, this is also my opportunity, so no matter what, I will follow You study as hard as you can, and you never give up halfway.”

"it is good."

Hearing this, Xuanzong couldn't help saying in high spirits: "If it weren't for you, I might have died here. There is a saying in the ancient Xuan Kingdom called teaching students according to their aptitude. After I go back, I will conduct a comprehensive evaluation and inspection of you, and then I will focus on your martial arts. Provide targeted guidance based on your talent and cultivate you into a malleable talent."

Professionalization can be divided into two stages.

The initial stage is the honing of basic skills. This is the most polished stage, and it is also the most difficult and boring stage.

Taking the natural disasters as an example, if you just want to meet the requirements of wearing equipment and learning advanced skills, even if it is dark gold-level equipment and S-level skills, it only requires a proficiency of around Lv35 at most.

However, the powerful natural disaster destroyers will often upgrade their basic skills to a higher level. For example, the masters of the third-level natural disaster destroyers in the major gathering places will often upgrade the basic skills they specialize to above Lv40. Some will even reach the Lv50 level, surpassing most of the natural disaster lords.

It is precisely because of this that the grandmasters in the major gathering places are often regarded as the peak natural disasters in the general sense, and the grandmaster competition after each doomsday mission is often the most lively time in the major gathering places.

The second stage is the formal professionalization stage.

Under the premise that the corresponding basic skill level is qualified, some advanced professional systems often have abnormal requirements for basic skills, which leads to fewer and fewer inheritors, and finally even to the point of being cut off. This is not because The professional strength is not enough, but because there are too few talents who can meet the relevant requirements.

The characteristic of professionalism is that one can continuously become stronger through learning and practicing.

This can not only obtain combat skills that do not occupy the skill grid, but also steadily improve one's own attributes and reach a higher stage.

Otherwise, if the natural disasters want to improve by plundering genius treasures, pills, and completing tasks to obtain free attribute points, although it is not impossible, it is tantamount to becoming rootless duckweed. The process of the process will also become more and more difficult, until it is completely left behind by other professional Scourge.

After all, after reaching a higher level of natural disasters, the attribute points of natural disasters can easily exceed a hundred, or even thousands, and the related booster treasures will become extremely precious, and the difficulty of obtaining is far from that of low-level treasures.

……

half a month later.

Chen Mo followed Xuanzong, took a ferry, and came to a port city named 'City That Never Sleeps' in Ancient Xuan Kingdom.

Compared to the advanced state of the Western Continent, the Eastern Continent is more backward, and the Ancient Xuan Kingdom is a very inconspicuous one among the dozens of large and small countries in the Eastern Continent.

Walking on the Qingshi street, Chen Mo looked left and right.

He saw that many people here were in ragged clothes, and some even wore straw sandals.

This is like a prosperous southern city during the Republic of China. Under the extravagant appearance of a few rich people, there are tens of thousands of people living at the bottom, struggling to survive in poverty every day.

No matter how beautiful the neon lights on the street are, they can't hide the beggars in the dark corners of the road.

Coolie pullers pull rickshaws and walk in the streets and alleys.

Rail buses shuttled, and classic cars stopped under the neon lights from time to time, and the laughter of beautiful women with heavy make-up came from inside.

"Let's stay here for now."

Xuanzong brought Chen Mo to a dilapidated hotel.

A huge cockroach that looked like a cicada quickly crawled across the counter in front of the two of them. The skinny boss with a cigarette stick in his mouth took out a room key and handed it to the two of them as if he didn't see them.

"Check out at [-]:[-] noon, and the overdue deposit will not be refunded."

"understood."

After the two came to the small room, the hot and humid environment made people frown. Chen Mo looked at the neon lights of the high-rise buildings outside the window and said, "Compared with the countries in the Western Continent, is the Ancient Xuan Kingdom so far behind?"

"The country is poor and weak, and it is not up to me to control it. I heard that the root cause of all this stems from a sect turmoil a hundred years ago. Countless people who were powerful in Xuanwu Taoism fell, which also caused the century-old turmoil in the ancient Xuan Kingdom. Since then, I have been in a slump in the Eastern Continent, hey."

Xuanzong's voice was a little lonely.

Especially after seeing the Hive Organization and the life of the countries in the Western Continent, he has a deeper understanding of the backwardness of the Ancient Xuan Country, but he is powerless to do anything about it.

the next day.

Huayimen is located on a small hill dozens of miles away from the city that never sleeps.

Green hills and green trees, mountain streams and streams.

A rather quaint and elegant courtyard is located between two mountains, but because of the lack of popularity and lack of care all year round, the quaint courtyard is a bit more desolate, like an old man in his twilight years.

"master?"

"master!"

Facing the two remaining disciples of Huayi Sect, Xuanzong led them to the Patriarch Hall and offered incense respectfully after experiencing the catastrophe and feeling his weakened body.

He recalled the past.

I once promised my master that Huayi Sect will definitely be rejuvenated, but now that Huayi Sect is in Ancient Xuan Kingdom, it is still only a third-rate and low-end sect, and there is no hope in sight.

If you continue to hold on, once people who are motivated by interests come to the door, you will only be forced to disband after being humiliated. Why not disband Huayimen yourself while you still have some strength to save some face , is better than humiliating the patriarch.

Thinking of this, Xuanzong couldn't help crying.

"I announce that starting today, Huayimen will be officially disbanded. The two of you will come to me in a while to collect some travel expenses. From now on, each will live in peace."

When the two disciples heard the words, they immediately rushed to dissuade them.

However, neither of them has any qualifications in martial arts. Even if they persevere here, it will be difficult to achieve anything, and they will not be able to realize their master's ambition.

"Are you really planning to disband the sect and go back to hiding?"

Chen Mo still couldn't believe it.

Xuanzong said desolately: "If I hadn't been forced to do nothing, how could I have given up? But the ancient Xuan Kingdom is like this, the weak are preyed upon by the strong among the sects, it is only right and proper, and with the current strength of Huayi Sect, it is simply not enough to occupy this mountain gate. Instead of waiting for the latecomers to come and humiliate me, it is better to disband on my own, maybe future generations will think about the past history here and choose to leave one or two books of my own martial arts as inheritance, and I am worthy of my ancestors."

According to Xuanzong's meaning, it seems that he wants to leave all the family property of the sect, including martial arts skills, inner skills and mental skills, etc., to those who occupy this place later.

"Come on, let me take a look at your basic skills."

Xuanzong, who took this step, seemed to have finally been relieved, and his mood improved a lot.

He smiled and said, "Let's find a suitable inner strength method for you while I am still the owner of this place and before I leave."

After speaking, Chen Mo began to show himself in various ways under Xuanzong's instruction.

Of course, Xuanzong couldn't directly test it through the optical brain data like the Scourge, but he was able to judge Chen Mo's basic attributes and basic skill levels through the martial arts eyesight and experience.

The more Xuanzong looked at it, the more he frowned, and his expression became quite dignified.

Of course, Chen Mo also knows that his basic attributes are definitely not outstanding in the eyes of the other party.

"How long can you stay here?"

"About half a year."

Chen Mo's answer made Xuanzong's expression more serious.

"If you give me three years and you cooperate wholeheartedly, I have the confidence to cultivate you into a plastic talent suitable for practicing Huayi Men's internal skills, but if you only have more than half a year..."

Xuanzong shook his head slowly.

Chen Mo also knows that in the eyes of the other party, his basic skills are definitely not qualified. Even if he joins other sects, he is only at the level of an outer sect disciple. If it wasn't because he saved Xuanzong, he might not think much of himself at all. glance.

In his current state, in terms of basic skills, he may not be as good as the two incompetent disciples in his eyes.
