He opened the door, walked out of his dim room, and came to the martial arts hall of the sword hall.
The morning light shines through the windows on the wall and into the martial arts hall, leaving mottled light and shadows, illuminating the hall slightly.
He moved faster and entered the public restroom.
A few minutes later, Zhou Yan finished washing up and stood in front of the mirror.
He looked at himself in the mirror. He appeared to be about twenty-one or twenty-two years old, younger than the twenty-four he was before he traveled through time. His tightly closed right eye made his handsome face seem a little out of proportion.
It's still not open. If it were, the empty eye sockets would probably make people even more uncomfortable.
Left hand, right eye.
Only after you become physically disabled will you know how unacceptable that feeling is.
Especially since he was a perfectly intact person before he crossed over.
After a while, he sighed, took out an ordinary black eye mask and put it on, then smiled at himself in the mirror.
His eyes also became firm.
Zhou Yan, work harder and cheer up.
Traveling in the world of disaster, destiny equipment, martial arts...whether it is good or bad, everything is gradually changing.
Wherever there is change, there is opportunity.
What you need to do is to become stronger as much as possible, and then seize every opportunity you can when it matters.
Then change your destiny!

Two hours later, Luo Xuan got up and took Luo Ke into the martial arts hall from the back door of the sword hall.
The first thing I saw was Zhou Yan standing in the "owl standing" posture.
He was covered in sweat, his short-sleeved shirt was soaked, and his calves and feet were trembling slightly.
It looks like it has almost reached its limit, but it still holds the ground firmly.
"Good morning, Zhou Yan~" Luo Ke greeted Zhou Yan with a smile.
Luo Xuan also nodded towards Zhou Yan and looked at his trembling but non-cramped calves.
Well, it seems that Zhou Yan has already figured out the trick to using the strength.
"Good morning," Zhou Yan smiled at the two sisters, then pointed in the direction of the reception desk at the door, "I just went out for a run and bought breakfast."
"Great!" Luo Ke immediately ran to the reception desk and happily picked up a bag of things. "Look, sister, today Zhou Yan brought sesame cakes from Shaobing King~"
Luo Xuan looked at her cheerful sister, nodded helplessly, then turned to look at Zhou Yan: "How much is it? I'll pay you later."
"No money." Zhou Yan smiled. "Recently, I have been running errands for the bosses in the neighborhood. They have been taking good care of me and asked me to bring some back for you to try."
"Ah~" Next to him, Luo Ke had already taken a big bite of the pancake in her mouth. With her cheeks puffed up, she came to Zhou Yan and praised him incoherently: "Zhou Yan, you are so awesome. My sister and I grew up here and never had this kind of treatment. Woo, this pancake smells so good!"
As she said that, she stuffed another pancake into Luo Xuan's hand: "Sister, try it!"
Luo Xuan took the pancake and ate it, his sword-like eyes couldn't help but look at Zhou Yan.
After this guy cheered up a few days ago, he not only quickly established good relationships with the neighborhood bosses and got a job helping to run errands and deliver meals, but also received extra feed from time to time.
On the contrary, it was his two sisters who benefited a lot from him.
Moreover, Luo Xuan looked towards the martial arts hall. The floor was clean and tidy, and the equipment and props were neatly arranged, with obvious signs of cleaning.
Needless to say, the bathroom and toilet must have been cleaned by this guy.
On the surface, it was she and her sister who took Zhou Yan in.
But I always feel that they are the ones who take advantage.
I'm afraid that even without her and Xiao Ke's help, Zhou Yan can still live well.
*
Zhou Yan didn't have so many thoughts on this.
After last night's spiritual burning, I learned the correct method, plus a few rounds of adaptation this morning.
He felt that his leg muscles had begun to adapt to the force mode of "Owl Stand".
He can now maintain the owl-standing posture for more than ten minutes before needing to relax.
Half an hour later, Luo Xuan came to Zhou Yan and stopped him.
"Zhou Yan, you can integrate the owl-standing static stance into your daily life. Whenever you are standing, you can try to maintain it.
"Stop for a moment now. I'll teach you something new first."
Zhou Yan stopped and saw Luo Ke walking towards him carrying a square board with a bracket attached.
The front of the board has vertical and diagonal crosshairs, and is surrounded by an electronic screen.
He had seen this thing before. He often saw students in the sword gym swinging their swords at this board.
Luo Xuan said at the right moment: "This is called the 'Liu Cube'. It is a training tool for a sword school that came from the 'Giant Enterprise Alliance' in the West. Because it is convenient and simple and has good effects, it has also been adopted by many sword halls here to help novices practice swordsmanship."
"The principle is very simple." Luo Xuan held the wooden sword and walked to the front of the board.
Then he nodded to Luo Ke, and Luo Ke pressed the button behind the board with a smile.
The next second, the four numbers "1, 2, 3, 4" lit up simultaneously on the four positions of the outer electronic screen of the board.
Luo Xuan immediately made four consecutive moves.
The attack order of the moves perfectly corresponds to the order of the flashing numbers on the Riyuu cube.
And this prop seems to be able to detect Luo Xuan's movements.
After she completes a round of attacks, the numbers on the outer circle disappear and reappear one second later.
This time, the numbers changed positions.
Luo Xuan used four moves in succession again.
Hawk, harrier, kite, hawk, hawk, harrier, kite, hawk, hawk, hawk, hawk
Just like this, the numbers on the outer circle of the logic block kept flickering.
Zhou Yan was already very familiar with the various moves of the Nanming Sword "Eagle Stroke", and Luo Xuan used them continuously with precise and swift movements.
Zhou Yan looked at it for a while and understood the function of this prop.
Luo Xuan also stopped the demonstration, put away the sword and looked at Zhou Yan: "Do you understand?"
"I see. This is a very good thing. Through this training, I can gradually transform the moves that I originally learned in the form of routines into ones that can be used in actual combat," Zhou Yan replied.
"That's right." Luo Xuan nodded. "Although it's not enough to practice all the moves, and it's not completely close to actual combat, but for a novice like you, it's enough."
She continued, "Next, your practice method is to cycle through the owl-standing static stance and complete swordplay routines, and then practice random moves with this rational flow block while limiting the use of Nanming sword moves.
"When you have reached my standards in these three aspects, we will proceed to the next step of learning."
Zhou Yan nodded to show that he understood.
So Luo Xuan left Zhou Yan to practice on his own in a corner of the martial arts hall, while she and Luo Ke started their own morning lessons together.
That’s right, although Luo Ke looks clever and eccentric, she has actually been practicing swordsmanship with her sister.
Although the purpose is just to strengthen the body, after years of practice, although Luo Ke's swordsmanship is not as good as Luo Xuan, it is not much worse than the two elite students in the sword hall.
Not to mention the newbie Zhou Yan.

Chapter 19 The Eye-Catching Zhou Yan
Zhou Yan stood in the corner of the martial arts hall for the entire morning.
Holding the sword in his right hand, he faced the Riliu cube and continuously performed appropriate moves according to each group of four numbers that lit up on it.
He did not seek to be fast, but rather to be steady, taking each move at the correct angle and insisting on using the moves of the Nanming sword.
It's not that he didn't want to be fast. When he first tried it, he was also in a hurry and tried to be fast, so he made moves in a random way that was convenient for him.
If you attack in this way, you can pass the judgment of this machine.
But he quickly realized that practicing like this would have little effect on improving the Nanming Sword.
It was the same diagonal slashing move. If he used his instinctive slashing posture, the force technique and movement details would be completely different from the moves in the Nanming sword.
Not only will it not improve your swordsmanship, but it will also form habits that are difficult to correct.
Having figured this out, Zhou Yan no longer sought speed.
His attacks became slower and slower, and even after each sword strike, he would silently return to his owl-like posture before making his next move seriously.
A round of four swords took more than ten seconds.
The more he did this, the more Zhou Yan felt that he was on the right path.
The more he practiced, the more excited he became.
Moreover, after gradually becoming proficient, the relevant sword moves and techniques slowly became part of his body's instincts, and his speed also slowly increased.
On the other side, Luo Xuan urged her sister to do morning exercises with her while keeping an eye on Zhou Yan's progress.
Seeing that he was able to understand the correct way to practice on his own, I couldn't help but nod silently.
In this way, time passed slowly.
By nearly nine o'clock, all the students of the sword hall had arrived.
There are less than ten students in the sword school run by the Luo sisters, which is quite deserted compared to other Nanming sword schools that have dozens or even hundreds of students.
Most of them are middle school and high school students in their teens.
These boys and girls were probably sent here by their families during the summer vacation to practice martial arts and develop their special talents.
This country values martial arts, and people with children are willing to send their children to martial arts schools to try their luck and see if they have special talents in this area.
Once a child's talent for martial arts is discovered, parents will be willing to invest in letting him or her concentrate on learning martial arts.
This kind of "martial arts students" can even be given priority admission in major universities with the same academic performance.
Even if one does not follow the "academic" route, but instead devotes all his energy to the "martial arts" route, after adulthood, he will be very popular in careers such as teaching in a martial arts school, joining the military, or working in the security industry.
If you have a good appearance, you will be in high demand even in the entertainment industry.
Those who have successfully practiced can achieve good results in various official hand-to-hand or equipment competitions and become figures with a status no less than that of stars.
Let’s talk about the students in the sword hall.
Seven of them were middle and high school students, and only two were adult male youths.
There were originally three, but one dropped out just a few days ago.
Zhou Yan happened to be in the sword hall at the time and overheard the reason - the person who dropped out felt that Luo Xuan, the owner of the hall, was just a little girl and her strength was only "ferocious level".
The owners of other Nanming Sword Gyms are basically all "Miao-level" masters, and are much more reliable than the Luo family's sword gym.
Even though the Luo family's tuition was much cheaper than other families, he still decided to drop out of school.
I can only say that there is nothing wrong with it.
As adults, those who choose to learn martial arts in the sword hall obviously have different pursuits from those teenagers who still have many opportunities to trial and error.
Compared to temporary money, what adults lack more is time and opportunities, and they naturally hope to learn under better guidance.
They all want to put their best effort and seize the last chance to step into the threshold of "Zhenwu" before their bodies are finally formed.
*
The students who entered the sword hall soon discovered Zhou Yan who was seriously training his swordsmanship using the Li Liu Cube.
When most people saw this scene, they couldn't help but look at each other and saw the surprise on each other's faces.
The students basically have an impression of Zhou Yan, who appeared in the sword hall two weeks ago.
After all, his physical disability is so obvious that it is hard not to notice him.
