Hyper-fusion, I have infinite forms

Although he later gained the ability to "walk in the world of disaster", he also possessed a powerful golden finger of life equipment and super fusion, and was able to become stronger by entering the chaotic world of disaster to fight.

However, for him at present, life equipment is an external force.

The power of this external force does not conflict with his martial arts training to strengthen himself, and can even complement each other.

Practicing martial arts not only allows him to avoid exposing the abilities of his "life suit" when he encounters difficult problems in reality.

It can also allow him to have more life-saving trump cards the next time he "walks into the world of disaster".

Hearing Zhou Yan's request to learn sword, Luo Xuan looked at him quietly.

This talented swordsman girl would untie her neat high ponytail in her daily home life, letting her long hair fall like a waterfall, making her look gentler and more peaceful.

She said, "Zhou Yan, your swordsmanship has barely escaped the level of an amateur in terms of enlightenment. It can be said that you have reached the level of an expert. You are indeed qualified to further practice swordsmanship."

Zhou Yan nodded and said calmly, "As for the tuition, I don't know if I can pay it in installments. I've taken on a job running errands and delivering meals for an old store on this street, so I should be able to pay for the tuition and accommodation fees."

Luo Xuan stared quietly at Zhou Yan's right eye patch, then looked down at Zhou Yan's mutilated left hand.

As if feeling Luo Xuan's gaze, Zhou Yan's left arm shrank slightly.

The swordsman girl lowered her eyes and said softly, "Okay, I can pay in installments, but the total amount cannot be less, is that ok?"

"Sister, what are you doing?"

Before Zhou Yan could say anything, Luo Ke next to him became anxious.

However, she was interrupted by Zhou Yan before she could finish her words.

"Okay, it's a deal."

Zhou Yan smiled and nodded, his smile was even more cheerful than before.

He thanked Luo Xuan solemnly: "Xiao Xuan, I will study hard."

Luo Xuan nodded and said to him, "If you are full, go to the martial arts hall to get ready. Xiao Ke and I will come over after we have packed up."

"Tonight, we will officially begin learning the introductory martial arts of Nanming Sword Hall."

"Okay!" Zhou Yan nodded in agreement, then said goodbye and left.

After Zhou Yan left, Luo Ke glared at Luo Xuan with an unhappy look on her face: "Sister, Zhou Yan is already like that, why don't you reduce his tuition?"

Facing her sister's questioning, Luo Xuan just looked at her calmly, and then said softly: "Zhou Yan doesn't need pity"

"What he needs is to be treated normally."

Luo Ke was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately.

She bit her lip and stopped talking.

*

About ten minutes later.

When Luo Xuan and Luo Ke arrived at the martial arts hall of the sword hall, they saw Zhou Yan doing strength training with equipment.

As a martial arts school, the Nanming Sword School is equipped with very standard strength training materials.

Even in the relatively old-looking sword gym owned by the two sisters of the Luo family, the quality of the equipment is unambiguous.

Luo Xuan walked up to Zhou Yan after he finished a set of exercises and said, "Not bad. Although your basic sword skills are considered entry-level, your physical fitness is still not up to standard. The most important thing now is to train your body."

Zhou Yan was sweating slightly. He had already trained several sets before the two sisters came over.

He put down the weight on his right hand and said with a smile: "Xiaoxuan is right. I have defects and my physical fitness is also poor. I am afraid I have to work several times harder than others to keep up with the progress."

Zhou Yan is self-aware. He lacks his left palm, so it is naturally more difficult for him to maintain balance than normal people whether he is doing strength training or technical training.

If you want to achieve something, you have to give more.

Luo Xuan nodded and motioned Zhou Yan to come over.

Then he said calmly: "Zhou Yan, we are now officially starting the teaching."

Zhou Yan nodded, stood still and waited for the other party to speak.

Luo Xuan picked up the wooden sword in his hand and made a simple sword flower.

"Nanming Sword Hall is the lowest level institution under the Suzaku Palace. The purpose of opening halls in various cities is not only to charge tuition fees and generate income for the power, but also to select talents for the Suzaku Palace."

Luo Xuan paused and continued, "The Sword Hall is authorized to teach three levels of martial arts."

"Beginners can practice the 'Nanming Sword' by paying money.

"Once your skills have improved and you have learned enough, you can further practice the 'Nanming Secret Sword'."

After saying that, she glanced at Zhou Yan and added.

"Elites who are progressing rapidly and have excellent talents can learn the Suzaku Sect's elementary core secrets—

"Breathing Technique: Crane's Cry."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 15: Nanming Sword

"Crane's cry. Breathing method."

Zhou Yan repeated it subconsciously.

He instinctively felt that this "breathing method" was probably the real secret technique that distinguished the "strong" from the "ordinary people".

It can become a secret technique comparable to Captain America or the Chinese magic masters in novels.

Luo Xuan shook her head: "I'm just saying this to you casually, you don't need to consider this secret technique yet."

She said bluntly: "If you don't have talent, you don't even have the qualifications to learn the 'Secret Sword', let alone the breathing method."

"And you," she glanced at Zhou Yan, "are only at the entry level, and haven't even reached the standard of a formal student."

Well, there's no need to put it so bluntly.

Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Then please ask Teacher Xiaoxuan to teach me quickly. Maybe I have extraordinary talent and can reach the elite level soon."

"Confidence is a good thing." Luo Xuan glanced at him indifferently.

"Let's get started. You already have the basics of short-weapon techniques. I will teach you the 'Nanming Sword' first."

Luo Xuan motioned Zhou Yan to take the sword.

"Okay." Zhou Yan did as he was told.

The two men stood in the center of the martial arts hall, holding wooden practice swords.

Luo Ke moved a chair and sat next to him, watching with a smile.

Luo Xuan was wearing a simple sports short-sleeved shirt. Her long hair, which had been let down during dinner, had been tied up again into a high ponytail, looking quite neat.

After entering the teaching mode, this talented swordsman seemed to have turned into a robot, becoming meticulous.

She first introduced the content of the Nanming Sword to Zhou Yan.

"The Suzaku Palace is symbolized by the 'Southern Suzaku', one of the Four Spirits of Heaven. Its entry-level swordsmanship is also created based on the characteristic postures of various birds. It is mainly divided into the following parts:

“There are two postures: the standing owl and the dancing crane.

“There are two ways to attack and kill: Eagle Strike and Falcon Strike.

“One way of walking: the sparrow step.

"Let me show you the complete technique of the Nanming Sword first."

Luo Xuan explained while demonstrating.

Probably to let Zhou Yan see the key points of the movements clearly, her movements were not very fast, but her body was stretched, precise and powerful, and each move was used in a chain like flowing clouds and water.

Zhou Yan watched attentively, although his physical fitness was average, his "spirit" was much stronger than that of ordinary people. So after watching Luo Xuan's deliberately slowed down practice, he actually felt like he had a photographic memory.

A few minutes later, Luo Xuan finished demonstrating all the moves and steps of Nanming Sword and returned to Zhou Yan.

"Do you see clearly?"

Zhou Yan nodded, eager to try.

Luo Xuan motioned him to follow with his sword: "Okay, then start learning from me now, and start by learning the foundation of everything - the static stance 'Owl Stand'."

She struck a special pose.

He stood upright with his feet slightly apart and holding the sword in his backhand. His body was upright yet contained a hint of contraction.

"Owl Stand, the static stance of the Nanming Sword, the key is to imagine yourself as an owl, focusing on gripping the ground and keeping your lower body stable. Pay attention to my feet."

When Zhou Yan heard Luo Xuan's words, he lowered his head and looked at her legs seriously.

Luo Xuan is different from her petite and cute sister Luo Ke. She is tall, graceful, and well-proportioned, especially her long legs that are white and straight. When stretched hard, obvious muscle lines are revealed on her originally white and tender calves.

It is a masterpiece.

"Look at the feet, not the legs." Luo Xuan's cold voice came.

"Puchi~" Luo Ke, who was watching, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Zhou Yan's expression was natural, and his eyes quickly dropped down to see Luo Xuan's feet.

Appreciating the beautiful legs was just a side job, of course Zhou Yan saw clearly the condition of Luo Xuan's feet.

Her feet were arched and her toes were firmly planted on the ground, looking as if they were digging into the cushions.

He stood in the same position as Luo Xuan, clasping his fingers together, and tried his best to perform the movements that the other party emphasized.

"Is that right?"

Seeing that Zhou Yan was indeed studying seriously, Luo Xuan walked up to him, walked around him and checked his movements.

The wooden sword in his hand tapped several parts of Zhou Yan's body.

"Owl stand is different from ordinary standing. While your feet are clasped together and your calves are tense, your upper body should remain somewhat relaxed. You have seen an owl standing on a tree, right? Recall it and imagine its posture."

Zhou Yan didn't say much. He followed Luo Xuan's instructions and recalled in his mind the posture of an owl standing on a branch, with his toes clenched and his upper body relaxed.

"Yes, maintain it for ten minutes. This is the static stance of the Nanming Sword. As long as you understand this stance, it will be beneficial to the subsequent sword moves and power generation."

Luo Xuan said calmly: "After you master this stance, you can learn the next one."

Maintain for ten minutes.

Zhou Yan maintained this posture and exerted his strength according to what Luo Xuan said.

The difficulties were soon discovered.

Let alone ten minutes, even five minutes is difficult!

When he is not wearing the life suit, he can only get a 20% attribute bonus from the suit, and his body functions just reach the reference value close to "10".

The basic short-weapon techniques practiced before were just introductory attack methods and footwork, and there was no special standing method to train the leg muscles.

Anyone who has tried martial arts knows that no matter how strong you are or how much strength you have.

If you have never done horse stance, then you have never done horse stance.

If you say you can't bear it, you can't bear it.

Although the Nanming sword stance looks like a standing stance overall, it looks easier than the half-squatting horse stance at the beginning.

In fact, it is not the case at all.

Under normal circumstances, humans do not use their calf and foot muscles so intensively to maintain the "owl stand" posture.

Now, while maintaining this posture, the corresponding muscles were working at a high intensity, and Zhou Yan soon felt soreness in his calves, and the arches and toes of his feet also began to twitch.

I'm getting cramps!

However, although Zhou Yan's physical fitness is at the average level, his mental willpower exceeds that of ordinary people.

Faced with the pain that had already started to cramp and contract, although it was extremely uncomfortable, he still persisted without changing his expression.

Let me show you the will of the "9" spirit!

Luo Xuan, who was standing by, saw that Zhou Yan actually held on for nearly ten minutes, and thought that Zhou Yan might have just trained his calf and foot muscles.

When he looked down, his eyes couldn't help but tremble.

Zhou Yan's calf muscles had already shrunk into a ball.
