Immortality begins with whale hunting

Chapter 46 Family Martial Arts School, True Steps!
  The next morning, Bai Xuan passed through the island, and according to the address given by Bai Xuanji, he arrived in front of a large courtyard in the downtown area of ​​the town, surrounded by the Bai family's properties.

Bai Xuan knocked on the door and saw two strong men opening the door. They glanced out and saw Bai Xuan turned his palm to reveal a token that looked like jade but not jade. They let him go without saying a word. Come in.

“What a spacious courtyard.”

Bai Xuan saw that there were more than a dozen young people in the yard, practicing catching pairs, and some were holding big rocks with one hand and exercising their strength.

"Your Excellency, you must be Bai Xuan. I am Bai Xuan. I have a close relationship with my cousin Tiannian. I have heard of you several times."

A young man with short hair who looked quite sophisticated came forward.

"Yes, I don't know about this martial arts school..."

Bai Xuan said.

It was a lot more informal here than he thought.

"Wait a while, Uncle Bai'ehou will be here. He runs this martial arts school. Only young people in the family can teach unless they are outstanding. It is difficult for ordinary people to come here."

Bai Tianyuan said.

After a while, a thin old man came out and walked to the front of the courtyard.

"Practice all day long, what do you practice on?"

The thin old man looked down for a while, frowned, but then he spoke.

As soon as he finished speaking, many young martial arts practitioners below quickly fell silent.

The next moment, the thin old man shrank suddenly.

Under this contraction, it seemed that the whole person was shrinking, and all the energy and spirit were condensed to the extreme, shrunk deep into the bones, and disappeared without a trace.

But the dragon on his spine was raised, as if the bow was fully drawn, and like a tiger perched in the forest. At the moment when he was about to pounce, the strength of his whole body was concentrated and reached an extreme!
  boom!
  The thin old man moved, and the whole person suddenly disappeared on the spot. Only a figure flashed, and a long air wave was vaguely torn out of the air. With a bang, a strong wind swept through the entire yard.

From a distance of more than ten meters, he pounced and reached directly. A piece of bluestone was directly grabbed and shattered into pieces, and the debris shot out!
  brush!
  The skinny old man kept moving, then retreated, like lightning, coming back. The air wave had not dissipated, and only the sound of hunting in the air was heard. The skinny old man reached out to take the leather robe and put it on himself.

"I don't care what other people in the Bai family teach you. For me, Tiger Step is the most fundamental martial art."

"One pounce contains the foundation of martial arts. If you move, you are martial arts. If you don't move, you are a zombie."

"Remember, in Qi-blood martial arts, if you freeze to death, it's over! When you practice martial arts, what you should think about is... what if someone fires thousands of arrows, crossbows, or even flying swords to take the head?"

This thin old man taught the true steps directly from the moment he came up, without any sloppiness, he was neat and tidy!

He lay back on the lounge chair under the eaves. The old god was there without saying a word. The two disciples next to him served him before and after him, and even brought the tea directly to his mouth.

"What a great pace."

Bai Xuan's eyes condensed.

He has a strong martial arts training, but just by looking at him, he understood something in his heart.

Between the steps, it is not about jumping and dodging, but about moving the energy and blood. It is gathering the energy and blood all over the body in one thought, and taking one step, it has amazing speed, surpassing the ordinary!
  At this moment, many disciples in the small courtyard are also thinking about practicing. Although this is also a courtyard, it is very wide. Even if it can accommodate a hundred people, it is nothing.

"This Tiger Pounce Step is used in boarding battles. With one step, you can grab the ship and sweep across it immediately. If you want to leave, you can advance and retreat freely."

Bai Xuan consciously found a corner and practiced the Tiger Pounce Step silently.

He is just a boatswain who came in through connections. Most of the others here are seven or eight years older than him, and they are basically mates. They occasionally say hello, but Bai Xuan keeps a low profile and does not have much contact with them.

evening.

In the small courtyard.

"Getting the true step has finally made up for my biggest shortcoming... This tiger leap step is indeed mysterious!"

Bai Xuan was practicing in the courtyard, thinking constantly in his mind.

He possesses the ability to master shark fighting, and he can master steps much faster than ordinary people. He possesses an instinctive way to move and dodge. In a short period of time, he has mastered the Tiger Pounce Step and is almost a beginner.

This tiger pounce step seems simple and straight forward, but once you pounce, it changes in all directions.

And with this step, the energy and blood power of the whole body is condensed and truly integrated to the extreme. This change is extremely subtle, as if it opens a new door for Bai Xuan!
  "Keep practicing."

"After mastering the Tiger Pounce Step, my strength will make a qualitative leap."

Bai Xuan was immersed in the practice of Tiger Pounce Step.

When he wakes up every day, he first practices boxing, marksmanship, and footwork, then practices inner breath training, exhaling and condensing his own energy and blood, and finally fishes, cooks, and continues practicing after eating.

Every day he would go to Bai'ehou's small courtyard to feel the pace and see how other people practiced.    …

Ten days passed in a hurry.

Bai Xuanji went home to report on his work. There seemed to be some controversy. He didn't return for a while. Bai Xuan practiced martial arts every day. Finally, he gained some experience and came out to have a meal.

Restaurant.

"My grandfather went to sea again to lead a ship. Now the Star Hunter pirates are burning, killing and looting, wreaking havoc on the sea, and even driving away the monster fish in the sea. Many ships have been attacked, and no one can resist them."

Bai Xia sighed sadly.

Things have been going badly lately, and his originally round figure has become a bit thinner.

"Monster fish?"

Bai Xuan was drinking tea, but his eyes were focused.

He thought of the demon shark. The demon shark left a deep impression on him. It was forged from a single piece, as solid as steel, and was simply invulnerable to human damage.

If it is an ordinary demon fish, even a small martial arts master can deal with it, so why do we need an expert to lead the boat?
  But the demonic sharks controlled by the Poseidon Sect are extremely difficult to resist unless they have set foot in the gateway of life and death. Only such a powerful existence requires experts to join forces to deal with it!
  "Yes, several whale hunting ships in the outer sea were damaged and had to come back for repairs. Now there is also some wavering among the four major families. If this continues, I'm afraid the losses will be really heavy. I heard that the Yang family has said that it is better to reconcile with Let’s discuss terms with the Star Hunter Thief.”

Bai Xia really looks gloomy and doesn't feel good after drinking.

Faced with the threat of the Star Hunter Thieves, many people were wavering. The fleet continued to be damaged and the losses were huge. Perhaps it was better to compromise.

Compromise with the Star Hunting Thieves, that is, give a portion of the silver coins every year, just like taxes, to the Star Hunting Thieves in exchange for the fleet's qualification to sail on the sea.

Among the four major families, the Yang family suffered very little damage, and the fishing boats in the distant seas were almost undamaged. Many people rumored that this family had some kind of deal with the Star Hunter Pirates!

"Compromise..."

Bai Xuan couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis in his heart.

For the four major families on Qianshan Island, the compromise is to pay an extra sum of money. After weighing the pros and cons, it is very likely that they will make such a choice.

But for Bai Xuan, he still has a reward of two thousand taels of silver on his head, so he must prepare for a rainy day.

Bai Xuan finished his meal and hurried home.

……

evening.

Bai Xuan was about to arrive home when he saw more than a dozen people gathered at the entrances of several courtyards not far from his small courtyard, talking about something.

"It seems a little unfamiliar."

Bai Xuan glanced around, feeling unfamiliar.

Although there are many people coming and going on this island, his small courtyard is located in a remote place and few people come here, so there are unfamiliar faces that can be seen at a glance.

"We are all brothers within the seven seas. This is not empty talk, but there are rice, flour, food, oil, talisman water and elixirs..."

These dozen people were all dressed in brown clothes and looked quite ordinary. They were vaguely headed by a bearded man in the center. They were talking at the moment. One of them, an old fisherman, had his eyes shining and nodded frequently. He was obviously persuaded.

"Nanami Club?"

Bai Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly and went back to the small courtyard without meddling.

After a series of punches, Bai Xuan's body followed the punches, but the speed was extremely fast. The energy and blood all over his body became active and kept rising, like a torch. Under the skin, there was a green lin emerging, which was deep and powerful!
  "With the Tiger Pounce Step, my speed has almost doubled, which is a qualitative change."

In the small courtyard, Bai Xuan stepped forward and was seven or eight meters away in an instant, and his afterimage quickly appeared!

During this period of time, he has been practicing diligently and has made rapid progress. Now he has mastered the Hupu Step!

"It is not yet complete. It will take some time to completely integrate with Dacheng Dousha. By then, the speed will increase again."

"However, in the past ten days or so, I have condensed some Henglian Dao thoughts."

"Copper Skin, open it for me!"

Bai Xuan's eyes narrowed.

There is still one step left for the copper skin, today is the day of great success!
