Chapter 8: The Great Mastery of Physical Skills!

The whole place was dead silent again. No one would have thought that the final result would be like this.

Luo Xiu's eyes swept over everyone present, then he snorted coldly and walked away.

The crowd automatically made way for a passage. No one dared to block the road in front of Luo Xiu at this time.

"This Luo Xiu in the elementary class is simply a freak!"

"I heard that some people's martial arts talents develop later, but they have accumulated a lot and their strength has improved rapidly!"

"He just swept his eyes over everyone, obviously with a warning. Brothers, be careful in the future and don't offend this kid."

"Zhao Liang is completely finished. This time he completely sent himself to Luo Xiu to establish his prestige."

Many people talked about it, but they had to admit the strength shown by Luo Xiu, because in the martial arts hall, strong strength is the foundation for gaining a foothold and gaining the respect and awe of others.

After leaving the Black Stone area, Luo Xiu did not return to his residence, but entered a bamboo forest.

There are several wide open spaces in the bamboo forest, and wooden stakes are driven into each of them, some high, some short, some long, and the distances between each stake are different, and they are intertwined and complicated.

Students in the martial arts hall also choose this place to practice body skills.

Luo Xiu jumped up and landed on a wooden stake. You can see that each wooden stake has traces of time. Every year, the martial arts hall will recruit new students, and batches of young people who yearn for martial arts will practice martial arts here without fear of difficulties.

Only those who endure hardships can become the best. When Luo Xiu was very young, his father told him this truth. In the first class of the year when he just entered the martial arts hall, the teacher also told everyone this truth.

The meridian running route of the second-grade body skill "Inch Step" emerged in his mind. While deducing and improving it with the life vein diagram, Luo Xiu's figure also moved instantly on the wooden stake.

"Pah!"

His toes lightly tapped, and his body rose up, falling from the short wooden stakes to the tall wooden stakes. His body was slow at the beginning, and he needed to get familiar with the rhythm of his body movements, but later on, he moved faster and faster.

"Plop!"

Suddenly, he made a wrong step, because the distance between each wooden stake was different. When the speed was slow, he could still grasp it exquisitely, but once the speed increased, it was easy to make mistakes.

After falling from the wooden stakes, Luo Xiu jumped up again and practiced his body movements again.

Unknowingly, time passed, and he was immersed in the state of practicing body movements, like an infatuation, almost forgetting himself.

In addition to internal strength, martial arts body movements have four levels, namely entry, minor success, major success, and perfection.

Even if it is a second-grade martial arts, if it can be cultivated to the minor success level, it can be comparable to the entry level of the third-grade martial arts, the major success level can be comparable to the minor success, and the perfect level can be comparable to the major success of the third-grade martial arts!

So unless they are at the same level, the higher the martial arts, the stronger the power. However, if you can cultivate low-level martial arts to a higher level, it is not difficult to defeat the strong with the weak.

The Dragon Tiger Fist was cultivated to the great perfection by Luo Xiu with the super understanding given by the Life and Death Pearl, while Zhao Liang practiced two third-grade martial arts, but he could not even master the entry level, so he could not be his opponent.

For the next half month, Luo Xiu was immersed in hard practice, practicing martial arts and body movements during the day, and practicing internal skills in the room at night to improve his cultivation.

During this period, every student who was going to participate in the annual assessment was trying his best for his future.

"Zhang Hai has not made any movement during this period. I heard from others that he seemed to have bought a Qi-nourishing Pill with a large sum of money not long ago, intending to break through to the eighth level of body refining."

This morning, Luo Xiu woke up from the state of cultivation, mumbling to himself in his heart.

His cultivation and strength were steadily improving, and his opponent was also improving, and Zhang Hai's cultivation conditions were better than his.

The further you go in martial arts practice, the harder it becomes, so you need external objects to help speed up your practice so that you can break through the limit within your limited lifespan.

It is said that if you can reach the Xiantian realm, you can surpass the limit of mortals and have a lifespan of 300 years!

Before Xiantian, even a martial artist in the Qi Hai realm is just a mortal who is stronger than ordinary people.

"It seems that I have to improve faster!"

As the time for the annual assessment is getting closer, Luo Xiu not only has no worries, but is more motivated.

The practice of Dragon Tiger Fist has improved steadily. Although it is still in the Great Accomplishment realm, it is not far from perfection.

Only the body movement "Inch Step" is the slowest to improve, so Luo Xiu added difficulty to himself. He got some thorns covered with sharp barbs and spread them on the wooden stakes where he practiced body movements. In this way, as long as he made a mistake, he would fall down and be scratched and stabbed by the thorns.

Not only that, he also cut each wooden stake thinner to force himself to exceed the limit!

His crazy training has attracted the attention of many students in the Martial Hall in recent times. It was first spread by students who came here to practice physical training.

A group of people gathered not far away and watched Luo Xiu practice his body skills on the thinned wooden stake. His clothes were torn and covered with scars. The thorns below were also covered with bloodstains. The sharp barbs were black and shiny.

"Is this guy going to die?"

"No wonder his strength has improved so quickly. It's hard not to improve quickly if he practices so hard!"

Anyone who has watched Luo Xiu practice martial arts was shocked. Some people who also came from poor families were inspired and began to work hard to improve themselves.

On the wooden stake, Luo Xiu had practiced the inch-step body skills to the peak of the minor success, but he vaguely felt that he was still one step away from the major success.

He closed his eyes and moved quickly on the wooden stake, sometimes rushing forward, sometimes moving sideways, and sometimes retreating quickly. His body movements were erratic, not a routine practice.

If you practice martial arts according to the routine, even if you know it by heart, you can only enter the entry level at most. Only by understanding the essence and artistic conception of it and grasping the key points can you enter the realm of minor success.

To reach the realm of great success or even perfection, you need not only hard work and understanding, but also opportunity.

Sometimes a flash of inspiration may seize a chance to break through the limit of the martial arts you practice and reach a higher level.

There is no shortcut to martial arts. Talent and qualifications are important, but the heart of martial arts and opportunity are equally important.

In the past, I was confused and didn't know what martial arts was, but since I merged with the Life and Death Pearl, Luo Xiu has truly entered the martial arts.

Although his cultivation is still low, he already has the heart of martial arts!

"Great success!"

On the wooden stake, Luo Xiu's figure suddenly stopped moving. The wind moved, the clouds moved, the world moved, but I didn't move!

He suddenly opened his eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he jumped up and floated away, disappearing from everyone's sight.

"He is so fast, could it be that his body skills have reached the level of minor success?"

"I heard that Luo Xiu selected three second-grade martial arts from the novels of Zang Bai~Wan # ^^, namely "Yi Jin Duan Gu Gong", "Dragon Tiger Fist" and "Inch Step"."

"Yi Jin Duan Gu Gong is not a big deal, but "Dragon Tiger Fist" and "Inch Step" are the most difficult to practice among the second-grade martial arts. I don't know how many people have chosen them. It's difficult to even get started, let alone minor success."

"It seems that the last time Luo Xiu fought with Zhao Liang, the "Dragon Tiger Fist" he performed was comparable to the third-grade martial arts of the minor success level, which means that his Dragon Tiger Fist must be a major success!"

People were talking about Luo Xiu's current strength. The Dragon Tiger Fist of the major success level is obvious to all, but the body skills are more difficult to practice than martial arts. Everyone thinks that the possibility of major success is not great, and at most he has reached the minor success level.

Despite this, everyone was amazed. The Dragon Tiger Fist was a great success, and even if he was at the fifth level of Body Refining, his overall strength could compete with the seventh level of Body Refining.

"The seventh level of Body Refining is comparable to the top masters in the intermediate class. This kid is really amazing."

"But no matter how hard he tries, it is impossible for him to beat Zhang Hai, because Zhang Hai is about to come out of retreat, and his cultivation level will definitely reach the eighth level of Body Refining by then. He can enter the advanced class in this year's assessment!"

"Anyone who can enter the advanced class is the elite of the Martial Hall. Zhao Liang and Zhang Hai are not at the same level at all."

"The Zhang family is also a force in Qingyun City. What did Luo Xiu think at the beginning that he would go against the Zhang family?"

Although Luo Xiu's recent performance has been more and more unexpected, no one still believes that he can beat Zhang Hai, who is at the eighth level of Body Refining.

Luo Xiu returned to his residence after his martial arts skills and body movements were all perfected.

"Relatively speaking, my cultivation is improving slowly." In the room, Luo Xiu frowned. His cultivation has reached the peak of the fifth level of body refining, but he has been unable to break through to the sixth level.

Martial arts practice is difficult step by step. The ninth level of the first level is comparable to ascending to the ninth level of heaven, and each step is more difficult than the next.

The hardships and difficulties of martial arts practice are far from being as simple as words, especially the hard work of practicing in recent times, Luo Xiu can be said to have a deep understanding.

"When my cultivation reaches my current level, I must have some auxiliary means to speed up the improvement. Otherwise, although my cultivation can be improved, it will take too long."

In the practice of internal strength, Luo Xiu has never been slack, but the speed of internal energy growth is very slow just by running the exercises to breathe in the vitality of heaven and earth.

The most common means of auxiliary means for martial arts practice are elixirs and formations. For martial artists in the body refining realm, the first-grade elixir is also the most commonly used means. In comparison, the formation is even more expensive.

But Luo Xiu knew his own situation very well. His family only had 20 to 30 taels of silver every month from his father, and a first-grade Qi-nourishing Pill would easily cost hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver!

For example, Zhang Hai broke through the eighth level of physical training this time by taking Qi-nourishing Pills. The cost of a single retreat was something that an ordinary family could not earn in their entire lives.

Luo Xiu knew very well that if he did not think of a way, it would take him a long time to break through to the Qi Sea Realm and become a true warrior.

Luo Xiu didn't take the annual assessment a month later seriously, and he didn't care about the duel with Zhang Hai, because his goal was already longer-term.

Many warriors pursued a breakthrough to the Qi Hai realm throughout their lives, and those with slightly more ambitious goals hoped to become Xiantian realm martial artists.

But Luo Xiu was not satisfied. He had integrated the Life and Death Pearl and possessed various unique conditions. If he couldn't make achievements in martial arts, he would be too sorry for himself.

"It's time to do something." Luo Xiu narrowed his eyes and had some calculations in his mind.
