Lu Fan had previously learned from Huang Bairong that the realms of martial arts are divided into: acquired, innate, and finally the grandmaster.
Hearing that Dong Wu was a fifth-grade post-natal cultivator, Lu Fan quickly asked, "Brother Dong, can you tell me about martial arts in detail?"
"sure."
After saying that.
Dong Wu cleared his throat and began to tell Lu Fan.
He said that the Daqing Dynasty has always respected military power.
The realms of martial arts are divided into acquired, innate, and grandmaster.
Each of these three realms contains grades one to nine.
Legend has it that if one is fortunate enough to reach the Grandmaster realm, one can find immortality and embark on an immortal journey.
"Immortal?"
When Lu Fan heard this word for the first time, his eyes lit up.
"Brother Dong, do immortals really exist in this world?" Lu Fan asked quickly.
"certainly!"
"I won't hide it from you. When I was serving in the army, I personally witnessed two immortals from our Daqing Dynasty. With a wave of their hands, divine fire descended from the sky and thousands of swords flew, destroying an entire city in the blink of an eye."
When these words came out, Lu Fan was stunned.
He had always heard about immortals from storytellers...
Never thought.
There really are immortals in this world.
"Brother Dong, how can I become an immortal?" Lu Fan asked hurriedly.
Dong Wu shook his head and said, "I don't know that either! The only thing I know is that if you want to become an immortal, you must have immortal roots!"
"Immortal root? What is immortal root?" Lu Fan continued to ask.
"I heard it's a kind of aptitude for cultivating immortal arts! I don't know the details! However, when I was traveling, I heard an elder say that only by possessing immortal roots can one gain the favor of an immortal sect and have the hope of entering the immortal realm. Otherwise, mortals like you and me will have no hope at all in our lifetime."
Listening to Dong Wu's stories about the immortals, Lu Fan felt as if the door to a new world had been opened!
but.
The path to becoming an immortal is still too far for a guy like him who doesn't even know martial arts.
So Lu Fan shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
A day passed quietly.
When Lu Fan walked out of the City God Temple, he saw Wang Dayong and his laborers working hard to build a mansion for him.
As for the women that Lu Fan took in, they were also working on the side.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Lu Fan felt that he was becoming more and more like a landlord.
"Lu kid, your medicine is incredible, isn't it? In just one night, my knife wounds are almost healed."
Dong Wu saw Lu Fan from afar and ran over excitedly.
Of course, Lu Fan knew the miraculous effects of his "tonifying pills".
He smiled and said, "See, I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Dong Wu chuckled and said, "Miracle medicine! It really is a miracle medicine! Boy Lu, where did you get this miracle medicine? How can it heal wounds so quickly?"
"I can't tell you that."
Lu Fan said.
"Tsk! Forget it if you don't want to tell me! I don't want to hear it anymore."
Also after Dong Wu recovered from his injuries.
Lu Fan said, "Since your injuries have all recovered, can you teach me martial arts now?"
"Of course! I keep my word!" Dong Wu said as he put the steel knife on his shoulder.
"Okay, let's go to the back mountain to practice."
After saying that.
Lu Fan took Dong Wu to the back mountain.
After finding a large flat area, Lu Fan began to prepare to learn swordsmanship from Dong Wu.
Lu Fan did not tell Dong Wu that he could lift hundreds of pounds with his hands after practicing the Changqing Gong. He just started asking Dong Wu for advice like a beginner.
"Lu boy, do you want to learn my swordsmanship? Or do you want to learn my boxing and kicking skills?"
Dong Wu put his hands behind his back, like a teacher, and spoke proudly.
"Let's learn swordsmanship first!"
Lu Fan had seen Dong Wu's superb swordsmanship before, so he spoke.
"You little guy, you don't even learn the basics, and you want to learn my sword skills?"
After Dong Wu finished speaking, he stabbed the ground with the steel knife in his right hand.
With a clang.
Stone chips were flying all over the ground, and the steel knife had penetrated three inches into the ground.
"Do you know how much this bronze tiger-head sword of mine weighs?"
"A full eighty kilograms!"
"Hey little guy, let me give you some advice. If you really want to learn Kung Fu, start with the most basic punches and kicks from me! As for swordsmanship, I'm afraid your little arms wouldn't even be able to lift my sword!"
Forehead?
"Who said I can't lift it?"
Lu Fan finished speaking.
He picked up the bronze tiger-head knife stuck in the ground with one hand and pulled it out gently.
There was a sound of warehouse.
Lu Fan easily held the tiger-head knife weighing eighty kilograms in his hand.
Dong Wu's eyes widened when he saw Lu Fan pulling out his tiger-head knife with one hand.
"Oh my god... Lu kid, you can actually pick up my tiger-head knife with one hand?"
Lu Fan shook the sword in his hand and said with a smile: "This weight is nothing!"
Dong Wu: "…"
Looking at Lu Fan holding his tiger-head knife so lightly, Dong Wu was speechless!
You know, his tiger-head knife is made of pure steel and weighs eighty kilograms.
Even he took nearly a year to be able to hold the knife with one hand!
But now, Lu Fan actually lifted it up easily... and he held the tiger-head knife as if he was lifting air, without blushing or breathing hard.
"Lu boy, are you born with supernatural powers? How can you lift such a heavy sword?"
Lu Fan smiled and said, "I told you, this little bit of weight is nothing to me."
Dong Wu was defeated again.
I thought that I could make Lu Fan give up with just a tiger-head knife, but I never expected that I would end up slapping myself in the face.
"Can you teach me swordsmanship now?"
Lu Fan looked up and asked.
"Ahem...sure!"
Dong Wu said this awkwardly and took the tiger-head knife handed to him by Lu Fan.
He groaned and said, "Little guy, although you are quite strong, my swordsmanship focuses most on the changes in moves!"
"Even if you are born with supernatural powers, if you cannot comprehend the essence of my swordsmanship, it will be in vain."
"Hey little buddy, I'm going to show you my famous swordsmanship now, just wait and see!"
Dong Wu felt that as a master, he couldn't lose face today no matter what!
So he had to let Lu Fan broaden his horizons.
Steel knife in hand.
Dong Wu jumped up and soared into the air like a roc spreading its wings.
Then he swung the steel knife in his hand.
Don't mention it.
Dong Wu's swordsmanship is indeed powerful and extremely sharp.
The sword shadows all over the sky combined with his unpredictable moves really made Lu Fan dizzy and full of admiration.
"Little guy, let me show you my most famous weapon: the Tyrant Blade!"
As he finished speaking, Dong Wu poured all his energy into the steel knife.
Then, he swung the steel knife in his right hand.
There was a loud bang.
Dong Wu's sword shadow fell on the bluestone.
The bluestone broke into pieces.
Looking at this knife, even Lu Fan couldn't help but praise: "Excellent knife skills!"
After Dong Wu finished performing his special move, he put away his steel knife and said proudly, "How's it going, little guy? How powerful was that knife I just used?"
"That's awesome! I want to learn from you!" Lu Fan said sincerely.
"Haha! That's the Dominant Sword Slash that I have mastered after more than 20 years of dedicated sword practice! You want to learn it? It's not that easy?" Dong Wu said.
"Then how can I learn it?" Lu Fan asked.
"Start with the most basic sword techniques. Only by becoming familiar with the sword can you unleash the might of the Tyrant Sword Slash! As for reaching my level... rest assured, with me here, I'll make sure you master it within three to five years!"
After Dong Wu finished speaking, he threw the steel knife into Lu Fan's hand with his right hand.
Lu Fan took the tiger-head knife and began to learn.
