Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 2003 The Training Mode at the Border

Looking at old Ereda, who seemed somewhat withdrawn, Jie Liancheng suddenly felt much clearer about his thoughts after saying those words.

That's right, this guy in front of me is over a thousand years old, while I'm only a little over a hundred.

Having cultivated to the Vajra Realm, his natural lifespan has also been greatly extended, so what's the rush now?

If one hundred years isn't enough, then two hundred; if two hundred years isn't enough, then three hundred. He wants to see how long this bottleneck can hold him back.

During this time, Jie Liancheng casually retorted to old Ereda, but of course, it wasn't because he was upset by old Ereda's words.

In fact, this was Zhou Xu's arrangement.

Zhou Xu instructed Zhou Chongshan to take good care of Errida, but at the same time, he also asked Xie Liancheng to find a suitable opportunity to provoke Errida slightly.

Of course, he had to control the intensity. Zhou Xu only wanted to provoke Ereda, but he didn't want Jie Liancheng to fight with the other party.

He understood Zhou Chongshan's personality, but he understood Xie Liancheng's personality even better.

Given this premise, Xie Liancheng, being a modern person and a childhood friend, would certainly be better able to understand his thinking or explain the effect he wanted.

Therefore, Zhou Chongshan was simply following their emperor's orders to take good care of Ereda, while Jie Liancheng was waiting for an opportunity with a clear purpose.

Without the former's knowledge, they formed an effective team and dealt a heavy blow to the thousand-year-old Eredar.

Eredar admitted that he was indeed provoked.

As mentioned earlier, Vajra Realm warriors have a very long natural lifespan, and you can't tell how old they are just by looking at their appearance.

Given this premise, it goes without saying how much of an impact Jie Liancheng and Zhou Chongshan, who are both over 100 years old and have already reached the peak of the Vajra Realm, could have on him, as a race that only reaches adulthood at 300 years old.

For a fleeting moment, his composure crumbled.

However, seeing Jie Liancheng's innocent and unintentional expression, Ereda obviously couldn't hold it against him.

If this counts as intentional, then wouldn't I have done the same before?

Thinking about it carefully, those words were indeed quite irritating to a martial artist who had hit a bottleneck.

But the problem is that I really hadn't thought that much about it beforehand.

Knowing he was in the wrong, Eredar didn't dwell on the matter, but it must be said that he was indeed provoked.

After lunch, we had an hour-long break. In the afternoon training session, Ereda arrived.

After a lunch break, he seems to be in pretty good shape now.

What will we practice this afternoon?

Ereda asked the question, and Zhou Chongshan didn't keep him in suspense, directly stating...

"We'll practice together this afternoon, refining our moves."

Upon hearing this, Ereda immediately perked up.

Originally, he had no interest in martial artists at the Vajra Realm level, but after the morning's training, he suddenly felt that it might be a good idea to have a fight with them.

With this in mind, Ereda immediately began to stretch her muscles, showing a certain eagerness, but Zhou Chongshan hadn't finished speaking yet.

"This training only hones the techniques and does not involve the use of internal energy. In fact, if possible, you should also control your physical condition, otherwise you will not be able to achieve good training results."

"..."

Practicing techniques without using true qi or controlling oneself, besides maximizing the elimination of the influence of cultivation level and allowing for purer honing of skills, also has a very important reason: they are currently on the border, with an orc alliance next door. Martial artists of their level can recover their physical strength quickly when their true qi is abundant, but their true qi recovery rate is not as fast.

If war breaks out on the border, and they have depleted more than half of their true energy due to regular training, resulting in poor condition, the border will suffer additional losses, or they may even lose their lives, all of which would be terrible outcomes.

Of course, one cannot neglect the practice of internal energy.

Therefore, border garrison commanders are usually adjusted according to the actual situation.

If he is the only high-end combatant on the border, and he insists on cultivating, there is only one way: he can only use up to 30% of his true energy for cultivation in normal times to ensure that most of his combat power can be preserved.

However, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, while there are few warriors at the Vertical and Horizontal Realm, there are usually two or even more at the Vajra Realm level.

In this situation, they can implement a shift system.

Simply put, one general consumes his true energy to cultivate, while the other general remains at his peak.

On the border of the new district, aside from Yarvit, who is the strongest fighter, there are Jie Liancheng, Zhou Chongshan and Joseph, who are at the Vajra Realm, and Gargamel, who has entered the Saint Realm.

Joseph and Gargamel are currently in the recovery period.

Or rather, Jie Liancheng and Zhou Chongshan consciously devoted most of their cultivation time to Joseph and Gargamel.

Because the two of them had already reached the peak of the Vajra Realm and were stuck in a bottleneck.

Hard work alone is no longer enough to solve the problem. What they need now is an opportunity, which could be a life-or-death struggle or a sudden epiphany.

If they don't seize this opportunity, they won't have a chance to break through.

In comparison, Joseph and Gargamel still have plenty of room for improvement. Instead of letting them struggle, it would be better to give Joseph and Gargamel more time.

Jie Liancheng and Zhou Chongshan, on the other hand, shifted their focus directly to improving their fighting techniques, seeking a breakthrough from a different angle.

Ereda was at sea before, surrounded by ocean, and had not encountered any enemies. In addition, she had the initiative in her own hands, so her situation was very simple and clear. She had never faced such a problem before, so naturally she did not have any related thoughts.

He learned a lot from Zhou Chongshan's explanation.

"Okay, let's practice the moves then."

Without using true qi, the impact on martial artists at the Vertical and Horizontal Realm will be even greater than on those at the Vajra Realm.

However, in comparison, martial artists in the Vertical and Horizontal Realm have stronger physical qualities and senses than those in the Vajra Realm.

In Ereda's view, even if the two sides were to practice their techniques alone, the Vajra Realm would have no chance of winning against the Horizontal Realm.

How exactly do we train?

"One-on-one, I'll go first."

As he spoke, Jie Liancheng picked up his training three-pointed double-edged sword.

He was genuinely eager to spar with Ereda.

After all, their main sparring partners were each other.

At first, the results were pretty good, but as the training continued, they became more and more familiar with each other, and now they even know each other inside and out. This situation directly led to the increasingly poor effectiveness of their sparring and practice.

Now that a martial artist at the Transcendent Realm has arrived, and whom they haven't fought before, Xie Liancheng's interest has been piqued.
