Cosmic Demon

Chapter 161: Three major sword moves combined into one move, once again showing the talent for learning!

The filter is broken again.

Qin Shi thought to himself that he originally thought that a peerless genius like He Lanchan should be traveling through the starry sea, experiencing secret realms, and making a name for himself with his fists, but after all this time he had to rely on mining in the Netherworld and work for the Entropy Sea Bank.

"Is the end of the universe just cattle and horses? Even the Half-Step Martial God is no exception."

Qin Shi couldn't help but think so.

"If you want to become a true giant, you must not be influenced or constrained by any superpower. In addition to being extremely powerful, you must also master resources! Resources determine the future. If you don't have the ability to create resources or monopolize resources, you will ultimately not be able to compete with those giant companies or consortiums and will be easily controlled!"

Super Xiao He said expressionlessly.

"Just like Dongxia's great expedition and great development, only by continuously acquiring and producing resources can we avoid being strangled."

Qin Shi understood it clearly. He had seen many examples in history books.

The glorious era of Dongxia's empire certainly illuminated the galaxy, making any superpower dare not underestimate it.

However, the subsequent Star God War and Iron Man Rebellion really damaged the vitality of the Dongxia Empire, forcing it into a dark and turbulent period of fragmentation and endless war. It was not until the emergence of the Nine Marshals that they began to restore order and rebuild the country.

But in this process, we have indeed been bullied and suppressed by super powers.

For example, the "resource sanctions" and "route blockades" that are written into history books.

If the nine generals had not led the army in person, we would have recovered the lost territories and won one great victory after another.

Perhaps, like other weak civilizations, they will be carved up and slaughtered by superpowers.

"I am now at a spiritual level of great concentration, and I have the incarnation of Taoism. My spirit resides in my inner world, so my mining efficiency should be quite high."

Qin Shi accepted it very quickly. The market for Void Coin was very good and it could be exchanged for a large amount of resources at Entropy Sea Bank.

"Order a batch of Star Remains and Void Marrow Crystals first. It will take a long time to transfer the goods anyway."

He moved his fingers and used his own account to purchase related resources. His heart was bleeding as he imagined that this thing would be extremely effective.

Soon, the net worth given by the credit assessment was reduced by half.

"These are within the scope of repayment, so there is no need to worry about compounding interest and ending up being entangled in karmic loans."

Qin Shi finished all of this and began to practice the "Void Meditation Method". The altar was ancient and mysterious, absorbing the aura of the netherworld outside the inner world.

Wisps of thin air like gray mist flowed down from above, and were tempered by the altar and transformed into tiny crystals visible to the naked eye.

"The progress is still slow. If we continue like this, we may not be able to condense a Void Coin even after two or three days of digging."

Qin Shi's mental power was particularly concentrated, feeling the waves of the Netherworld Ocean, like waves of water hitting him.

During this time, the mind reflected all kinds of bizarre and strange scenes, as if taking devil's vine powder, with numerous illusions emerging and constantly impacting the brain.

"This is probably the risk of mining in the Netherworld."

Qin Shi kept his original intention. The fundamental core of "Void Meditation Method" was extremely "egoistic", which was quite effective in resisting such invasions.

Allow the illusions and mumblings of the netherworld to grow and disturb your mind.

In the end, they were all refined completely by the void altar, eliminating all hidden dangers.

What Super Xiao He said is true, his talent is combined with the "Void Meditation Method".

He is truly worthy of the title of Innate Mining Holy Body.

"If the inheritance level is higher, the mining efficiency should be able to increase by a few points."

Qin Shi handed the important task to Super Xiao He, who was incarnated as a Taoist and spit out a void coin every three days.

Little by little, you will become rich sooner or later!

To become a big shot in the cryptocurrency world, start with idle mining!
Qin Shi relaxed slightly, left the inner scene, and said with emotion:

"The inner scene has a clear mind, extremely fast thinking, and greatly improved understanding. The buff is really hard to give up."

He finally understood why the vast majority of people on the psychic path were willing to abandon their physical bodies and completely integrate into the netherworld.

Different paths, huge differences.

What one enjoys from the path of martial arts is the transformation of the mortal body and the strengthening of the physical body.

The psychic path, however, is just the opposite: the more transcendent the mind is, the more condensed the spirit is, which makes the body restricted in many ways.

Compared to traveling in the netherworld with the mind, the useless physical body that is easily injured and needs to eat is naturally cumbersome.

“It’s very difficult to take two paths.”

Qin Shi used the furnace baking method again, and the boiling breath rolled around, flowing through his body and soothing the discomfort.

Fortunately, his soul and body are united, and his mind and body are in harmony, so he can be compatible with the two major paths.

"Assistant Qin, someone just wanted to see you."

Lin Yunqing had already entered the role of agent. Seeing that Qin Shi had finished his training, he quickly said:

"Tan Cong, a senior inspector of the Operations Department of the Inspection Department, wants to see you."

Qin Shi remembered that he had mentioned to Lao Chen last time that he hoped to find a teacher to learn weapons and combat skills.

In the martial arts world, fighting with weapons and fighting with bare hands are two completely different things.

The former's combat effectiveness increased by at least 30 percent.

"Okay, I know."

Qin Shi nodded, took the elevator back to the first floor, took out a few high-energy protein bars and canned food from the refrigerator, and started to replenish his consumption.

"Uncle Chen sent the internal information over. Assistant Qin, you need to pay extra attention to a few people."

Lin Yunqing looked very professional, as she had just investigated the popular contestants for the top 100 competition.

He spread out several photos and pointed at one of them and said:
"Zhou Yuanchen. A graduate of Qiguang Hengda, he has already reached the professional level and is a top talent who is about to take the title of martial artist.

Logically speaking, he should not be eligible to participate in the top 100 competition because he has graduated from Hengda and does not have the status of a university student.

But Zhou Yuanchen's situation was special. He entered the university as a freshman, then skipped to junior year in the second year, and then skipped to senior year in the second semester. He completed his studies quickly and went to work at the Central City Education Department.

This person's student status is still registered at Hengda University, which is equivalent to skirting the rules and squeezing into the top 100. "

Qin Shi lowered his eyes. The photo showed a man with short hair, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and extraordinary demeanor.

“Are there any more details?”

Lin Yunqing understood Qin Shi’s meaning and continued:

"New martial arts school, SS-level martial arts, 'Ten Directions Frozen Demon Dao'. He has undergone two implant surgeries, but I'm not sure what they were."

Qin Shi nodded slightly, with vitality approaching 100 points, double S martial arts, plus the resources invested by the Central City Education Department.

This is indeed the favorite to win the Top 100!

"Anymore?"

he continued to ask.

"Most of the strong players in the top 100 competition are from Qiguang Hengda. For example, Ji Yuqi and Pei Han from the martial arts department.

There were also several people coming from the central city, including several from the Education Department, the Security Department, and the Hengzhou Martial Arts Association.

The person promoted by the Education Department is Zhou Yuanchen, as I mentioned earlier. The one promoted by the Security Department is Zheng Xu. They are all new martial arts schools, and each of them has mastered different SS-level martial arts, and their actual combat capabilities are very strong.

As for the Hengzhou Martial Arts Association, they have introduced the twin stars that have been hyped up in previous years, Xia Hong and Xia Ying. They follow the old martial arts experience school, and they are battle maniacs who should not be underestimated. "

Lin Yunqing was well prepared and gave a clear introduction.

"There are so many strong players, the top 100 competition is really of high quality."

Qin Shi scanned the photos, memorized their appearances, and then flipped through their information. He found that the weakest of these people had a vitality of over 90 points, making them the reserve forces of professional martial artists.

And each of them has their own unique skills! "Alright. My third rebirth transformation feels even more complete. With their training and Lao Liang's divine bone training, maybe it will help me make further progress!"

Qin Shi's eyes lit up slightly, and he looked ready to fight.

He sincerely praised Lin Yunqing a few words, then wiped his mouth and took a taxi to the Inspection Department.

The bitch was willing to lend her the Conqueror.

But Qin Shi refused and waited for the investment from his fourth senior brother Nie Zongwen to arrive.

He is ready to spend some money and buy a car he likes.

With the third-level credentials, even though Qin Shi was carrying a weapon, he calmly passed several security checks by the Inspection Department and entered the office floor of the Operations Department.

"Xiao Qin, long time no see. You look stronger now."

Tan Cong's hearty laughter comes faster than others.

"Inspector Tan..."

"Just call me Brother Tan, don't be so distant!"

Tan Conglong walked with the gait of a tiger, very heroically, his eyes fixed on the saber in Qin Shi's hand, almost glowing.

"I heard from others that you performed outstandingly in Operation Sharpening the Sword and received the blessing of a certain pillar god. Is that true?"

Qin Shi nodded implicitly, neither admitting nor denying.

"Is this the gift from the pillar gods? Oh my god, you are so lucky! In ancient times, this thing would be a blessed 'divine weapon of luck'. If you raise your arms and call for help, many people will come to you and worship you as their king!"

Envy flashed in Tan Cong's eyes. Who in the old martial arts school doesn't like weapons that are easy to use?

Compared to the new martial arts school who carry machine guns on their shoulders and wear exoskeleton power armor, they are more keen on using kinetic weapons, holding a big gun or a big knife, and killing people in and out seven times, which is exciting.

"What era is this, Brother Tan? Even a master will be silenced after one round of star destroyer fire."

Qin Shi smiled. He got this perfect-grade electric saber from the four pillar bosses.

The quality shouldn’t be too bad!
"Can I take a look?"

Tan Cong rubbed his hands and laughed like a pervert.

"Okay, Brother Tan, just watch it."

Qin Shi readily agreed. He also hoped that Old Tan would teach him more of his real skills and not keep any of them to himself.

"What a good thing! It's really a good thing! If it were placed in the Equipment Department, it would probably be ridiculously expensive. Even if I earn merit points for my entire life, it would be hard to buy it!"

Tan Cong grasped the dark red handle and pulled the blade out of the black sheath. The friction sound was like an electric current passing through.

hum!
The blade was out of the sheath, the edge was matte black, like jet-black iron that swallowed the light, and the spine of the blade was lined with blood grooves, like slowly flowing lava.

When Tan Cong held the saber, he had a strong feeling, as if it was a living thing. Hair-thin electric cracks gently emerged and flickered on the surface, like balls of thunder imprisoned in a piece of metal, making people want to swing it and kill.

"If I were ten years younger, I would definitely go bankrupt and beg you on my knees to lend me this saber. An old martial arts school like ours really needs such weapons. Especially in Hengzhou, there are many polluted areas in the wilderness, and those sophisticated technological equipment cannot be used. The only thing we can really rely on is a sword."

Tan Cong couldn't let it go and stroked the handle carefully, then put it back into the black sheath and returned it to Qin Shi.

"Brother Tan, I heard from Lao Chen that you are very good at swordsmanship, and you are considered a master."

Qin Shi said sincerely:

"Can you give me some advice?"

Lao Chen?

How dare you shout!

The corner of Tan Cong's mouth twitched, and he thought, could this boy be Chen Ruofu's son-in-law?
They have such a close relationship and are so close to Chen Yun on a daily basis.

"No one dares to take the responsibility, we can only say that we have some understanding."

Tan Cong brought Qin Shi to the training room. The backbone members of the Operations Department, who were wearing black vests and had muscular bodies, were startled when they saw the young faces walking behind them.

Someone deliberately shouted:

"Old Wei! Your love rival is here again!"

Wei Zheguang, who was exercising, turned pale when he heard this and said angrily:

"Stop talking nonsense! My brother Qin is a rare talent, a young genius! He is a crime fighter! He has won two silk banners. What's the point of calling him a love rival? I have only respect for Brother Qin!"

He put down the equipment in his hand and looked at Qin Shi's figure. It has been such a long time since they last saw each other, but why does he feel that his vitality is more surging?

The speed of cultivation is like riding a rocket, rising rapidly, which is really despairing.

"No wonder, when I was in school, the school had to put the top students in a class."

Wei Zheguang wiped his sweat and said helplessly:
"The existence of a genius is really a blow to the Taoism of ordinary people!"

Not far away, above the arena, Qin Shi paid no attention to the gazes focused on him. He was listening attentively to Tan Cong teaching the essentials of swordsmanship.

"Xiao Qin, the essence of military attack can be summed up in four words: trickery, deception, change, and pressure.

The trick of trickery is to cover up the truth with falsehood and lure the enemy into counterattack; the trick of fraud is to attack the enemy's heart first, and there is a special "witness technique" to combine with a strong mind to break the enemy's courage;
The art of changing characters is to adjust the form according to the enemy. One must practice the skill of "listening to the force of the sword" and sense the enemy's intention through the vibration of the sword.
As for the last "逼" tactic, it is most suitable for you. You can use your momentum to overwhelm others. You can use your steps to press forward, advance quickly, hold the blade with both hands and chop left and right along the center line continuously, like an anvil hammer, to break through the defense line. "

Tan Cong’s lecture was very detailed and clear, and he explained things in simple terms, covering all aspects of fighting and training techniques.

He casually picked up a wooden sword and demonstrated the stance to Qin Shi, while explaining the moves, he said:
"The sword techniques I can teach you are very simple, just a few moves. The first is the 'tornado stance', where you spin rapidly with your waist as the axis, and the sword light is like a tornado carrying sand and stones, and dust rises into the air in a spiral shape where the blade passes. If the enemy blocks, the weapon will be twisted away. The flaw is that when you close the stance, your back is wide open, so you need to pay attention..."

Qin Shi followed suit and also grasped the dark red handle with both hands. The electric saber was locked in the black sheath and swung with a whistling sound.

After about two hours of concentration, he mastered the "Tornado Force", "Prairie Fire Force" and "Light Swallowing Force".

According to what Lao Tan said, when the three forces are combined into one and reach perfection, one can also realize the "Eternal Tribulation Force", and slash out nine times in one breath. The sword light is condensed like a vacuum blade, creating the illusion of spanning time and space, and being irresistible.

"How about it, Xiao Qin, do you have any insights?"

Tan Cong, who was talking until his mouth was dry, waved for someone to bring him a bottle of water.

Wei Zheguang was quite clever. He stepped forward quickly and leaned against the stage to "take in the class".

"Swordsmanship is different from fists and kicks. Its essence lies in 'extremely simple form, extremely grand momentum'. Each move must be concise and not complicated, but must be full of momentum and boldness, otherwise it will not be able to exert its power."

Qin Shi swung the electric saber again and again. The sword force played frame by frame in his mind and was imprinted in his body through muscle memory.

"You understand now?"

Tan Cong paused in drinking water and almost choked.

He looked in astonishment at Qin Shi, whose movements were already very professional and there was almost no flaw to be found.

"Brother Tan, you taught me well, and I studied hard. It doesn't seem that difficult. First do this, then this, and then this, right?"

Qin Shi's sword had not yet been unsheathed, but his movements were extremely sharp. His steps were steady, making his posture very solid, and it was difficult to find any flaws.

Even if you use the "Tornado Force" to open and close widely, leaving an opening, you can quickly connect with the "Light Swallowing Force".

"you……"

Tan Cong licked his lips, seeming to want to say something but stopped himself, not knowing what to say.

A talented student like Qin Shi really makes it feel like a teacher has no sense of accomplishment!
"What does this look like?"

Wei Zheguang, who approached the ring stealthily hoping to hear a few words, was also completely confused.

I just don't understand what "first this, then this, and finally this" means.

Are geniuses so willful?

Can you understand it just by watching and listening?
