After the world collapsed

Chapter 15
Before he knew it, Zhang Sheng had been practicing in Pojun Mansion for a year.

In the sixth month after he entered the Pojun Mansion, he had completely opened up the Sea of ​​Consciousness, and Ding Jun didn't say at that time whether the speed was fast or slow.

During the journey of practice, each stage becomes more and more difficult.

Just like Zhang Sheng's first star pattern was fully lit in only three days, but it took fifteen days for the second star pattern, and it was not until half a year later that he fully opened up his sea of ​​consciousness and stepped into the state of concentration.

After he stepped into the state of concentration, the advantages of the Star Sea Map were revealed. He could directly see the three stars on the Sea of ​​Consciousness, that is to say, he could choose which star to open up first.

After that, the old Taoist taught him a new method, and asked him to choose to give priority to the development of the "knowledge of the earth" star.

In the next six months, while continuing to refine the immortal energy and develop the constellations, he practiced the newly learned magic arts.

At this time, he was fighting Ding Jun in the martial arts arena.

The Martial Arts Field can be entered with the "Two" token of the Pojun Mansion, and it is used for the training of students.

But now he is the only student in Pojun Mansion, so Ding Jun can only take him to practice, and occasionally he will study by himself.

What to think about, it is naturally the saber technique taught to him by Lao Dao, whose memory has recovered. I remembered.

The old Daoist said that he can't remember how he came here, and he can only do one move and a half. When the old man showed Zhang Sheng the first style of the Saber Breaking Technique, the latter immediately remembered the old man who taught him earlier. Give him the method of chopping wood, and this is exactly the same.

This is exactly the posture and movement that he has been proficient in chopping wood for several years, so he quickly mastered this first form.

After Zhang Sheng demonstrated this style to Ding Jun, the latter was also full of praise for this knife technique.

Zhang Sheng was attacking Ding Jun with fists and kicks at this time, and the latter dodged with a smile. For most of the past six months, Zhang Sheng was called to the martial arts arena by Ding Jun, and he even moved the futon for meditation. Immortal vitality is also very sufficient.

Because he opened up the sea of ​​consciousness and stepped into the state of concentration, Zhang Sheng possessed the unique symbol of a cultivator in the state of concentration, the consciousness.

And his physical strength has also been greatly improved. Of course, this is also indispensable for some strange small pills that Ding Jun gave him every now and then. .

After this period of time, Zhang Sheng not only grew a lot in stature, but also became stronger in physique, but compared with Da Zhuang's natural calf figure, it may still be much worse.

Therefore, Ding Jun taught him more traditional martial arts. Zhang Sheng was able to use these most basic boxing skills very quickly, but it was still difficult to touch Ding Jun.

I saw Zhang Sheng's right-hand stabbing punch directly hitting Ding Jun's face. The latter's footsteps did not move, but his upper body leaned back slightly. Ding Jun wanted to avoid this stabbing punch in the simplest way.

However, the fist of Zhang Sheng's right hand was released the next moment, and then his left hand took advantage of the momentum and quickly attacked Ding Jun's middle body.

As a puppet, Ding Jun's body flexibility is outrageous. He even changed from leaning back to holding his chest and abdomen. Zhang Sheng's left hand swung his fist against his robe from left to right, and was perfectly avoided by him. .

However, Zhang Sheng didn't let go of his strength, and continued to turn to the right with his left hand swinging his fist. With his right leg behind him, he kicked with all his strength, and with a "snap", he swept out from behind with the momentum of his turn, and swept towards Ding Jun again. face.

Ding Jun was still holding his stomach in order to gracefully avoid the second left swing, which also caused his head to be very close to Zhang Sheng. It would be embarrassing if he kicked him in the face.

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Zhang Sheng's powerful backspin was about to hit his face. Ding Jun's feet suddenly grew strong, as if they were firmly rooted in the ground, and then he bent his knees and his body was like this Quickly sank down.

Naturally, Zhang Sheng's backspin was empty with one kick. The swing of the fist and the spin of the leg had already made his body turn twice from left to right in a row. To Ding Jun.

Seeing this situation, Ding Jun seemed to foresee the scene where he would point out Zhang Sheng's problems for a while, and it would be impossible to expose such a big flaw to the enemy.

But the fact is that he heard two words whispered from Zhang Sheng, who was facing away from him:
"Zang Feng!"

Zhang Sheng, with his back to Ding Jun, did not stop spinning, but put his right hand on the bamboo knife on the left side of his waist, turned back again with the help of the previous two moves, and used the broken saber he had practiced for several months The first method of the method: Zangfeng breaks the armor!

Zangfeng Armor Breaking is a kind of sword drawing, Zhang Sheng prefers to call it "Zangfeng" for short.

The general movement is that the right hand draws the knife from the left waist and uses the momentum to draw from left to right, splitting the existence in front of him into two.

Inject energy into the knife, and the result is that a small bamboo knife can burst out with powerful knife energy!The saber energy from the bamboo knife itself was not so powerful, but with the foreshadowing of the previous two circles, this horizontal cut was more fierce than before.

Ding Jun exclaimed, and hastily stretched out his hand to block it. The most powerful attack that Zhang Sheng had ever made since his birth disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Huh... so dangerous, so dangerous, this dress is my favorite, I can't let you scratch it."

Zhang Sheng stared dumbfounded at the man across from him, oh no, it was the puppet who dismissed his strongest attack lightly.Although he knew it would be like this, he still couldn't accept it.

He looked down at the broken bamboo sword in his hand with some regret. It was cut by the old Taoist on the spot when he was teaching him how to break a saber on the first day. The bamboo was taken from the bamboo forest next to the small forest building.

Now it was broken because I couldn't bear the knife energy just now, it seems that I have to cut another one myself when I go back tonight.

Ding Jun was a little surprised by Zhang Sheng's "combo moves" just now, and he didn't expect that Zang Feng had been used so proficiently by him, and he could use it directly with his fists and kicks.

"By the way, you don't have to say it out loud when casting a spell. It's better to try to read the name of the move in the spell silently, so that you can be more unexpected."

"I have been taught, but Ding Jun, you seem to have blocked it with your hands just now."

Only then did Zhang Sheng think of this.

"Oh? It seems to be like this, then let's go to the trial ground, the puppets there will fight back."

The proving ground has a level-three authority. In fact, Zhang Sheng can enter the areas of the dojo, martial arts arena, and proving ground, but Ding Jun said that the time has not yet come.

Ding Jun saw Zhang Sheng's progress now, and he said before that if Ding Jun can be forced to defend, then he can enter the training ground to practice.

Soon, the two left the martial arts arena and came to the hall of the Pojun Mansion. The scarecrow was still standing motionless next to the star map in the hall.

The gate of the proving ground is in the northwest corner of the hall. The closest to the gate of the proving ground is the Divine Beast Hall on the left side of the Yaoguang Hall. Standing in front of the gate of the proving ground, he was about to take out a broken military order to enter when he suddenly felt a shock , as if being stared at by something.

And the source of this feeling was behind the Divine Beast Hall. Although he couldn't feel any malice, the feeling of being spied on still made Zhang Sheng feel uncomfortable.

"Ding Jun, what's behind this?"

Ding Jun followed Zhang Sheng, and when he heard his question, he also looked in the direction of the Divine Beast Hall.

"Ah, the Divine Beast Palace, that's Xun's residence. I haven't seen it for thousands of years."

It seems that Xun is the name of this divine beast.

Feeling the disappearance of the spiritual consciousness covering him, Zhang Sheng stopped thinking about it, turned around and entered the trial field.

Ding Jun followed closely behind and said:
"In the proving ground, you can choose different puppets to exercise your actual combat ability. The previous martial arts arena was just a place for students to compete, but here you can see different schools of thought in the world, simulating different monks and even spirit beasts."

As soon as Zhang Sheng heard this, he became interested. He is not a martial idiot, but when he thought of seeing all kinds of unknown opponents and even spirit beasts, he still felt the blood in his body flowing faster.

This year's practice in the Pojun Mansion, apart from his own practice, was taught by Ding Jun. It was unavoidable to be boring, just like the old Taoist said that the journey of practice is inherently dull.

The layout of the trial ground is very simple, a weapon rack, two teleportation circles, and two rows of benches.

"The teleportation circle on the left is to randomly match opponents with similar cultivation levels to yours, and they are all puppets. The one on the right is to surpass your opponents, and it doesn't matter how much you surpass."

Ding Jun said as he walked to the weapon rack, reached out and took a black horizontal knife and threw it over.

The moment Zhang Sheng caught the knife, he felt his lightness, which was only a little heavier than the bamboo knife.

There are two types of horizontal knives: heavy knives and light knives. The kind of surprise needed to perform Tibetan front is the advantage of light knives.

Pulling the knife out of its sheath, the blade was a little blunt, Ding Jun turned around and coughed, "It's been a while..."

Zhang Sheng didn't care about it, no matter how blunt it was, it was better than a bamboo knife. With his current knife skills, this ordinary horizontal knife is enough.

Putting the knife back into its sheath, Zhang Sheng walked towards the teleportation circle on the left.

The scene in front of him changed in an instant, and Zhang Sheng saw a puppet on the opposite side, which was somewhat similar to a scarecrow. He couldn't see his appearance clearly, and stood there quietly, motionless.

"How do I start? Should I declare myself first..."

Faced with a "real" enemy for the first time, Zhang Sheng was a little at a loss.

"You can use the Qi Wang technique to observe first."

Using the Jue Jue to perform the Zhanwang Qi Technique, the moment the consciousness touched the puppet, the puppet rushed straight over.

Zhang Sheng was taken aback by this, and he quickly accepted the formula and fought with him.

This battle did not stop.

Zhang Sheng felt that he was not that kind of aggressive person, so he just fought in the practice field for five days and five nights without sleep.The puppet has also changed from being bare-handed at the beginning to being able to use bows and arrows now.

Moreover, these puppets are extremely lifelike, and when they were beheaded by him, flesh and blood flew out. Even if they knew that these were puppets, they still couldn't accept them at first, and even vomited often.

Time can dissolve everything invisible, and as more and more puppets are produced by his subordinates, Zhang Sheng gradually becomes numb, and has no intention of stopping at all.

He is not aggressive, he is just curious about how many different opponents there are.

When he returned to the inner room of the practice field again, he saw Ding Jun, whom he hadn't seen for a few days, who was looking at his tattered clothes with a smile.

The opponents in the proving ground will fight back. Zhang Sheng was at a loss when he was attacked at the beginning, but now he can cope with it freely. The clothes on his body are the best portrayal.

"It's not bad, it's made great progress in the past few days, and the combination of magic talisman and saber technique is not bad."

The magic talisman is naturally the talisman that the old Taoist has taught him all the time. It is impossible to use the extremely expensive move of Tibetan front armor piercing all the time in a long battle. With the immortal power that Zhang Sheng now possesses, he can only use it three times in a short period of time.

Therefore, he also used the spirit wind talisman in the battle, and the speed bonus combined with the ordinary slashing with the horizontal knife became the norm in his battles.

"Ordinary opponents are for you to familiarize yourself with the rhythm of your own battle. Then you go to the teleportation circle on the right. It's very fun there."

After Ding Jun finished speaking, he disappeared.

"The magic circle on the right is an opponent much stronger than myself. I don't know if we can continue to fight." Zhang Sheng stretched his arms and stood up.

Opening his eyes again, the smoke dissipated, and Zhang Sheng was stunned by the scene in front of him.

The maple leaves were flying, accompanied by the singing of cicadas, and he was now in a clearing in the maple forest.

He had never seen such a beautiful place in his life, and he couldn't help but lament the pitiful scene next door, every time it was either in the arena or on the slope, it was very shabby in their old saying of Fengping City.

What surprised him even more was that this time he didn't directly see his opponent.

"Advanced puppets are different. Is the ambush coming so soon?"

Zhang Sheng immediately performed the Zhanwang Qi Technique, and soon he saw a strong blue light behind the trunk of a thick maple tree not far from the front right.

"Oh? An opponent in the late stage of Concentration? Sure enough, an ambush has been laid."

You know, Zhang Sheng's cultivation at this time has just stepped into the early stage of concentration.

Before he could think too much, the blue light dispersed and disappeared, and then a chill hit from the right rear.

It was too late to draw the sword, so I had to rely on my body to avoid it.Zhang Sheng was about to make an evasive movement, but found that his back was cold, and his hands and feet seemed to be immobilized, and he couldn't control him.

"murderous look?"

Zhang Sheng knew that he was targeted by the opponent's murderous intent. He had only heard Ding Jun mention this kind of murderous intent, but he had never encountered it before.

A stabbing pain came, and I was already pierced by the sword energy that hit me.

Just before he was "dying", Zhang Sheng vaguely saw a slender figure walking over while retracting his sword, and then there was no more.

Opening his eyes again, he found that he was sitting on a bench in the inner room of the trial ground, and there were more beads of sweat on his forehead.

This is the first time he has failed in the trial field, and failure means "death".The feeling of facing death for the first time made him slightly uncomfortable, and he didn't like it very much.

Slowly recalling the battle just now, no, it can't be called a battle, it's just a one-sided beating.No, it can't be called beating, just a face-to-face effort, and the person is gone.No, I didn't even take a photo of my face, and I didn't see anything clearly.

Some sigh, but also some excitement, it turns out that the proving ground is so challenging.

Ding Jun appeared beside him at the right time. He had just left a few steps, and when he felt Zhang Sheng's breath, he turned back.

After hearing Zhang Sheng's statement, Ding Jun was slightly surprised and said:
"You should have met descendants of other Star Palaces."

Zhang Sheng: "???"
