Xiuxian: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 591 Training
Chirp after chirp, Mulan is weaving in every household.

I don’t hear the sound of the loom, I only hear the woman sighing…

Shuo Qi spreads to the golden watchman, and the cold shines on the iron clothes.

A general dies in a hundred battles, a warrior returns after ten years...

Return to see the emperor, the emperor is sitting in the bright hall.

Zhixun twelve turn, reward hundred thousand strong.

The Khan asked what she wanted. Mulan did not want to be a minister. She wanted to ride a thousand miles to send her son back to his hometown.

As the poem says, Mulan was born into a military family. Her father was old and sick, her brothers and sisters were young, and when there was a war, the emperor summoned her, so she joined the army in place of her father. She devoted herself to the battlefield, went through ten years of war, and finally returned triumphantly to the court.

But after returning to the court and receiving the title...

"I am a girl after all, and cannot stay in the presence of the emperor for long. Therefore, I refuse the reward and only ask for a good horse to return home and serve my parents."

"However, on the way back home, I stayed overnight at a wild inn in a mountain village, and I saw the bright moon stained with blood, and the world changed strangely!"

Hua Mulan's eyes narrowed as she spoke in a deep voice, "Under the blood moon, strange monsters bred and slaughtered people in the village. I fought them fiercely, but was defeated and retreated step by step. In the end, I was severely injured by them."

"At that critical moment of life and death, the void suddenly shattered, and a ray of spiritual light fell on my body, leading my soul into the Tower of Babel, turning me into a heroic spirit, waiting for the covenant of destiny."

"After that, I followed the destiny contract and came to serve the general. I was reborn and returned to my youth..."

Mulan's words revealed a lot of information.

However, after hearing this, Xu Yang still frowned and was unable to clear up the doubts.

Mulan's experience of becoming a hero is very simple, and the whole process has a beginning and an end and is very reasonable.

But being reasonable is useless. What Xu Yang wants to know is the secret behind this process.

Can the Tower of Babel really travel through time and space, guiding the souls of the heroes in these epic legends from the past, future and history, turning them into heroes and throwing them into the battle between the lords of gods and demons?
If you have such ability, why don't you just destroy the desire realm?
Or does the desire realm also have such abilities and means?
Is this a Golden Immortal or a Daluo?
Is that Bo Xun really so terrifying?
Who can compete with Po Xun and change the world to this point?
The Tower of Babel, the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons, what is the ultimate goal of the battle for supremacy among lords in this background of gods and demons?
I don’t know, I don’t know, I have absolutely no idea!

The more I see how vast the world is, the smaller I feel.

But the same thing goes, if you don't have enough strength, don't think too much. There is no point in dwelling on trivial matters, except making things difficult for yourself.

and so……

Xu Yang looked at Hua Mulan: "Are you reborn?"

"Not bad!"

Hua Mulan nodded: "I am a little poor, please don't blame me, General."

Xu Yang smiled and said, "How about we practice on the training ground and get used to it?"

Hearing this, Hua Mulan did not refuse, but directly bowed and responded: "I obey your orders!"

"Then let's go."

Xu Yang smiled, took a step forward and walked towards the Yellow Turban training ground.

The Yellow Turban Parade Ground is a barracks building where soldiers can be recruited/trained. However, since there are currently no recruitment or training tasks, the parade ground is empty with only venues and equipment.

This is also a hidden effect of the barracks building, which can be used for lords and heroes to conduct combat training.

Combat training can improve weapon proficiency and gain a small amount of experience. Although it cannot be compared with directly killing the enemy, something is better than nothing.

In addition, the "coach" skills of lords and heroes can also improve the effect of barracks training. Some lord talents and hero stunts can even be upgraded through training to increase attributes and skills.

Although Xu Yang and Hua Mulan do not have such skills, it does not prevent them from practicing.

The two of them came to the training ground, and Xu Yang asked with a chuckle, "What weapon are you good at?"

Mulan smiled and replied modestly, "I have some knowledge of swords, spears, swords and halberds, and I have also mastered archery, horse riding and shooting. I wonder what kind of test the general wants to give me?"

Although this may sound like boasting, Xu Yang knew that she was being modest.

According to the records in the poem "Mulan", and as mentioned before, this heroic woman came from a military family.

What is a military household?

A kind of household registration system in ancient dynasties. Once you become a military household, you will serve in the army for generations and become the main source of military force for the court. Once there is a war, the court will recruit soldiers from the military households.

Although the status of military households was very low, and could even be said to be of low status, there were distinctions between high and low in every industry, and the military households extended upwards to families of generals.

Although the Hua family has not reached this point, they are still considered upper-middle class among military households, otherwise they would not have been treated like "there are twelve volumes of military books, and my name is on every volume."

In addition, when Mulan joined the army, she also "bought a fine horse in the east market and a saddle in the west market", which shows the family background of the Hua family. Have you ever seen a soldier who brought his own war horse when joining the army?

Therefore, the Hua family is a military family. Although Hua Mulan is a girl, she is skilled in archery and horse riding and has extraordinary martial arts.

This is Mulan at the beginning. After joining the army on behalf of her father, she fought for another ten years. In the end, the general died in battle, and the soldiers returned after ten years. She was also rewarded by the emperor and was able to enter the Secretariat. All these things show that she has experienced wars and made outstanding contributions.

Therefore, when she said this to Xu Yang, she was really not bragging. As a military commander with outstanding achievements, the martial arts she had honed in life-and-death battles were by no means ordinary. It was only after becoming a hero that she was reborn and returned to her youth. Otherwise, her attribute values ​​would definitely not be as simple as what was shown on the panel before.

From this point, we can also see that she is quite experienced in the ways of the world, which fits her positioning as a "commander-type hero" very well. She is not the kind of fool who only does things recklessly.

Seeing her so modest, Xu Yang didn't say much, and directly took two training spears with a blunt damage attribute: "Then let's try your spear and stick skills first!"

After saying that, he threw a spear to her.

Hua Mulan's eyes narrowed, she took the spear, and bowed again: "Please give me your guidance, General!"

"Come!" Xu Yang smiled and said nothing more. The long spear came out like a dragon. Although there was no cold light, the shadow of the stick could be seen, which dazzled people and made them overwhelmed.

Hua Mulan's eyes narrowed and she hurriedly blocked the attack. The two of them clashed with their spears and sticks, causing bursts of noise in the parade ground.

however……

"boom!"

In just a moment, there was a strike. The spear tip wrapped in thick cloth entered like a dragon and hit Mulan's neck directly, not a bit more or less. There was no blood, no casualties, and the victory or defeat was decided.

Hua Mulan stood frozen on the ground, looking at the person in front of her in astonishment, and the tip of the gun gently pressing against her throat, finding it hard to accept it for a moment.

As mentioned before, as a legendary female general, she is skilled in archery and horse riding, and is proficient in swords, spears, swords, and halberds. Especially with spears and clubs, although she is not as good as those peerless generals in ancient and modern times, she is still first-rate. But now...

"Your marksmanship is good, but it still needs some polishing."

Xu Yang made some comments, then removed the spear head and picked out a wooden sword: "Let's try the sword again."

Hua Mulan didn't know what to say after hearing this. She could only take the wooden sword and treat it more carefully: "Please teach me, General!"

"No!"

Xu Yang shook his head, chuckled and said, "It's your turn to attack this time."

"Um!?"

Mulan's eyes narrowed, but she said nothing and attacked with her sword.

Xu Yang smiled and responded calmly. He seemed simple and unpretentious, but in fact he was very skillful and each of his moves was close to being a unique skill.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

The sound of fencing was so clear and fierce that it echoed throughout the training ground.

But in just a moment...

"Clap!"

With a slight sound, the fencing stopped abruptly. Hua Mulan stood there in a daze, looking at Xu Yang in front of her, and then at the wooden sword across her neck. She didn't know what to do for a moment. After a long time, she finally reacted, lowered the wooden sword, and bowed respectfully: "General, your martial arts are superb, I can't compare to you!"

Xu Yang shook his head, but did not give up on commenting on her because of the praise: "Your swordsmanship is not as good as your spearmanship. There are still many areas that need to be polished. Moreover, your spearmanship is about defense before you attack. Although it is the right way of the military, to think about victory and defeat, it also wears down the sharpness of the spear. You should reach the pinnacle, and then change to the extreme state, turning hardness into softness, and turning softness into hardness..."

Hua Mulan was stunned by Xu Yang's words. It took her a long time to react: "Thank you for your advice, General. Mulan will definitely correct it."

“Only when knowledge and action are united can one attain the great way.”

Xu Yang smiled, said nothing more, and just raised his eyes: "Come again!"

"Yes!"

Hua Mulan's eyes narrowed, and then she responded.

"Clap clap clap!"

For a while, the sound of fencing was heard throughout the training ground.

This went on for who knows how long...

"Snapped!!!"

With a crisp sound, the wooden sword broke. Hua Mulan took a half step back and felt a foreign object on her neck, which was also a bit painful.

But she didn't care. She just gasped, sweat dripping down her face, her temples disheveled, her black hair wet. She was already overwhelmed and could no longer bear the beating.

On the other hand, Xu Yang remained calm and composed, and did not use any real strength at all.

Looking at Hua Mulan, whose clothes were disheveled and covered with sword and gun marks, he said nothing more, but put away the wooden sword in his hand and said, "That's all for today. Go down and have a good rest."

"Thank you very much for your guidance, General. Mulan will come again tomorrow for advice!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Mulan felt somewhat relieved, but she still forced herself to bow. Then she dragged her exhausted body out of the parade ground and walked towards the house assigned to her.

Looking at her departing back, Xu Yang shook his head and opened the records on the attribute panel.

"You have completed a combat training!"

"Mulan gained 1000 experience points!"

"Mulan has been upgraded to level 2!"

"Thanks to your teaching, Hua Mulan's weapon mastery skill has been upgraded by one level!"

"Thanks to your teachings, Hua Mulan gained enlightenment!"

"Mulan's one-handed weapon use has been upgraded to Master!"

"Mulan's polearm use has been upgraded to master!"

"Your one-handed weapon use has improved to master!"

"Your polearm use has been upgraded to Master!"

"Mulan's favorability with you has increased to 20 points!"

"..."
