Master, what path do you cultivate?.

Chapter 474 The so-called nature of weapons
This was the first time Chiye had heard of directly improving his fighting ability without improving his skills.

He immediately asked with great interest:

"Mr. Li, can you tell us in detail?"

Li Mu smiled and said:

"Since this is a fight and not a fair competition, then it must be okay for Miss Akiya to prepare weapons, right?"

"It's natural."

Just when he thought that the old man was going to teach him how to use weapons, Li Mu lowered his voice and made a pistol gesture and said:
"Then Miss Chiye, can't you just prepare more of this?"

Hearing this, Chi Ye couldn't laugh or cry, thinking that Mr. Li Mu was a bit like his master, and they were both shameless in fights.

"Mr. Li, you're just kidding. The gun ban is so strict. You don't want me to be arrested, right?"

Li Mu chuckled and said:

"I don't want to help you find the fastest way."

Chiye added:
"Furthermore, against opponents of Jiuxiong level and above, guns are useless, and I can't get larger weapons."

Li Mu widened his eyes and said:
"Ah? Your next opponents are Jiuxiong and above? Didn't I hear that your master has already killed three of them? He hasn't killed enough yet?"

Chiye hurriedly explained:
"How could it be! It's just that the opponents we face are all Jiuxiong and above, not that we will actually attack Jiuxiong and the Four Saints."

"Oh oh oh, so that's it. There is a way. What weapon does Miss Chiye usually use?"

Chi Ye took out the Nine Dragon Fan from his waist and handed it over and said:

"This Nine Dragon Fan was given to me by Master. It can help me release my fire energy."

Li Mu took the fan and looked at it carefully, nodded and said:

"It is indeed a good thing. The fan is really good as a weapon. I wonder how Miss Akiya usually uses it?"

"Yeah, I think it's very useful. I usually attach the fire energy to it and throw it out to achieve long-range attacks and quickly defeat the enemy."

Unexpectedly, after hearing Chi Ye's reply, Li Mu showed a very puzzled expression and said:
"Is this how you use it?"

"What else? A fan is not like a sword, so using it like this is probably the best choice."

Li Mu shook his head and picked up a chopstick on the table and said:

"If you don't consider the thermal weapons just mentioned, then the essence of the weapon is just an extension of the body to achieve longer distances and greater damage, right?"

Chi Ye nodded seriously as he listened.

"Yes."

Li Mu said, twisting the chopsticks in his hand and continued:

“Whether it’s swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, or sickles, clubs, whips, maces and hammers, what are we pursuing with these weapons?”

"Achieve better damage effect?"

"Absolutely. The ultimate goal is to use weapons to maximize our attack or defense effects. So we have to adopt the most effective method. That's why there are various sword techniques and tricks. In fact, the essence is to Looking for the optimal solution to hit the opponent and produce an effect, so does Miss Chiye know what she said wrong just now?"

Chiye frowned and recalled what he said, then suddenly realized:
"Should I adapt the fan to my needs to attack my opponent, instead of me adapting to the characteristics of the fan to adapt to the attack method?"

Li Mu ate the remaining porridge in the bowl and nodded:

"Miss Chiye is indeed very perceptive. Yes, that's what I mean. Of course, I don't mean to ignore the characteristics of the fan itself and apply it mechanically, but you must let yourself take the initiative. You are holding the fan, not the fan holding you. Understand?"

Chi Ye nodded and said:
"Hiss~Mr. Li, I understand the realm, but do you have any suggestions or methods for specific operations?"

What's the use of talking about realms in Chi Yexin's mind?Can't I just talk about becoming the Four Saints?If you want to help Master, you still need to see actual combat.

Li Mu wiped his mouth with a tissue, held the chopsticks with two fingers of his right hand and asked:
"I'm afraid that Miss Chiye won't understand her well, or should I ask? Miss Chiye said that using guns to deal with masters of Jiuxiong and above is not very useful. Why?"

"On the one hand, their reaction speed is very fast. Although they cannot dodge bullets face to face, they can dodge as long as they are at a certain distance. At the same time, the defense power of Jiuxiong and above is very comparable to others, not to mention skin and muscle implants. , I’m afraid it’s difficult to penetrate even the protective energy.”

"That's it. Since guns can't kill them, Miss Chiye throws the fan. It may be more powerful, but is it faster than bullets?"

"Well, what does the old gentleman mean?"

Li Mu still explained unhurriedly:

"We're not busy. Let's consider the two aspects of 'hit' and 'effective'. First of all, does Miss Chiye have the skills or flames that can hurt Jiuxiong and above? If not, it will be a bit difficult."

Chiye thought for a while and nodded:

"Yes, there are two. One is the calamity fire taught by the master. This kind of flame can both heal and destroy the body, but the calamity fire is not that strong and can be easily scattered when thrown. The other is a set called " The technique of "Fire Meridian Dao" is to destroy the opponent's meridians by pouring fire energy into the body, but you just said that the fan is indeed difficult to be effective." Li Mu said with a smile:

"That's enough. No matter which one, it will be effective as long as it hits the opponent, so you practice these two. You also said that it is to help your master, but it is not really asking you to solve the opponent."

After hearing this, Chiye realized that he should indeed lower his position a little.

After all, Yu Ye is possessed by the Book Saint, so he can move forward without hesitation. He still plays a supporting role. As long as he can play a role, he has helped the master.

"You're right, what next? How to use the fan?"

Li Mu picked up the fan and explained:
"I just said that Miss Chiye just threw the fan out for use. Not only did it have little effect, but it also really wasted the flexibility of the fan. It is true that the wind assists the fire to increase its power, but when you meet people at Jiuxiong and above, it is absolutely not possible. Maybe I was frightened by the power of Miss Chiye’s moves, so I went in the wrong direction, so I should be more flexible in the direction of my efforts.”

"What do you mean by flexibility?"

Li Mu turned the golden fan in his hand. He originally wanted to play with it while talking, but after thinking about it, he handed it back to Chiye and said:
"Young lady has cultivated her fire power to this extent, she must be able to attach it to the fan."

"Of course."

"Okay, then do as I say. First, hold the folded fan, inject rockets into it, and see if you can let me spray fire from the top of the fan."

Chiye followed the instructions, and the flames instantly engulfed the fan. At the same time, flames spurted out from the top of the fan, as if holding a flaming sword.

When the waiter in the restaurant saw it, he wanted to dissuade him, but when he found out it was Mr. Chi, he backed away, saying that it was your own company anyway, so it didn't matter if it burned down.

Li Mu nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Very well, fire is the most illusory existence among various attributes. Unlike water, earth, and metal, which have concrete objects, but because of this, the shape is also the most changeable. This can be combined with the changeability of the fan.

It is difficult to simply control the fire energy to condense into a sword. After all, it is an invisible thing, but it is different with a fan in hand. Miss Chiye is now trying to shoot the calamity fire just mentioned from the blade at the top of the fan. look. "

As Chiye calmed down, his palm moved slightly, and the flame on the tip of the sword also changed from yellow to red.

"Look, this way, this is an effective sword. Next, slowly open the fan a little, and try changing it from one hand to two hands."

As the fan is opened a little, the width of the sword blade instantly becomes wider. At the same time, the upper and lower parts of the palm inject fire energy at different rates, so the sword body also curves, gradually converging into a flaming knife.

Li Mu held the chopsticks and shouted stop in time like a teaching stick:

"Stop! Very good, now it is a knife, and it is not just the tip that needs to be used, but the flaming blade in front, so..."

Before Li Mu could finish speaking, Chi Ye would inject the calamity fire from the tip of the sword into the blade.

"Very good, that's what it means. Next, think about it. If you open the entire fan instantly, the flame will naturally change. How can you maximize it under stable conditions?"

Chi Ye instantly opened the fan in his hand. The image of the flaming blade was difficult to maintain, but as the fan opened, the unsustainable fire spurted out in the direction of the fan.

It was as if someone was holding a one-meter-long flaming blade and slashing forward.

Although the distance is a bit close, the attack range is not small, and it only has a surprise effect at the moment the fan is opened.

If Li Mu hadn't pulled the table back in advance, a large corner of the dining table in front would have been cut off.

"Very good, now the fan is in full state. You can turn it on your fingertips and throw it out like Miss Chiye used before, or you can just stay on your fingertips and interact with the several methods just now."

Listening to the old man's teachings, Chi Ye indeed turned the Nine Dragon Fan on his fingertips. It looked like he was holding a sharp flame ring on his fingertips.

However, Chi Ye did not throw it out this time, but pretended to throw it away. Just when he was about to let go, he reached out and grabbed the fan tail again and pulled it down sharply.

The fan returned to the state of the flaming blade and slashed downwards.

Unfortunately, it was Chiye's first time to try it, so he almost lost his grip when he cut it down, and almost hit the table with the knife.

Fortunately, Li Mu pulled the table to the side in time and took three steps back, finally saving the table for eating.

"There are other uses, and you can even integrate the Fire Vein Path into the tricks in the fan. It is up to Miss Chiye to explore those, but she must ensure that her methods do not deviate from the purpose, which is to hit and be effective."

Chi Ye, who was controlling Huo Jin seriously, then stopped his laughter and said:
"It turns out it can still be used in this way. I've really learned a lot. Thank you Mr. Li for your guidance."

Li Mu put away the dishes and chopsticks he used on the table and said with a smile:
"Miss Chiye is extremely talented. I'm just giving you some advice. The lady realized it herself."

Chi Ye came closer and lowered his voice:

"Mr. Li's understanding and skills in fighting are not like those of a retired person."

Li Mu opened his mouth to speak, but Chi Ye stretched out his hand and added:

"But since Mr. Li said he is retiring, I naturally respect your intention. If you don't go into details or ask questions or investigate, you can live your retirement life here peacefully without worrying about anyone disturbing you."

Li Mu laughed loudly when he heard this and said:
"Hahaha, with Miss Chiye's management skills, I really regret not coming here to provide for her retirement sooner."

　Thank you for your reading and support! (Chiye: Another one who is as shameless as the master)
