Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

Chapter 84: Academy Qualification Obtained (Subscription Request, Monthly Ticket Request)

"Eighteen consecutive sword techniques, it is not difficult to get started. If you can separate and apply each sword technique and apply the strength method correctly, you can be considered to have gotten started.

Generally, you only need to practice for two or three days... or ten to twenty days to achieve it."

Su Ming originally wanted to say two or three months, but considering Chen Yushu’s talent, he quickly changed his words and continued, “However, it is much more difficult to practice to a small degree.

Some people may not be able to reach this level even after practicing for three to five years.

The Eighteen-Swords Consecutive Technique has been mastered, but it requires that three swords be turned into one sword in an instant, and the Eighteen-Swords Consecutive Technique can be turned into six swords in the blink of an eye. When the six swords are slashed out, the power can be doubled out of thin air.

As for the ultimate, it is to turn six swords into one. To the naked eye, it only looks like three swords have been struck... and it can directly burst out with twice the power. It takes at least ten years of hard work to achieve this."

Su Ming said this, and directly took the long sword and began to practice swordsmanship.

All around him, there were flashes of swords. In a trance, the six swords worked together to form one. When the sword was slashed out, it seemed as if the sword light reappeared and rushed out three feet away before dissipating.

"Eighteen consecutive strikes, perfect?"

Chen Yushu exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right.

I have only acquired this sword technique in five years, and I have already mastered it to perfection.”

Su Ming said this with a hint of pride on his face.

"Master is really amazing."

Chen Yushu praised.

It takes an average person ten years to achieve great success, but it took my master five years to achieve great success, which is truly remarkable.

"Okay, I've taught you how to use your energy. Try practicing it first, and ask me if you don't understand."

Su Ming's mouth kept curling up, and it took him a while to regain his seriousness and speak.

"Yes!"

Chen Yushu nodded, recalling the method of using strength taught by his master, and then matched it with the sword moves of the Eighteen-Sword Technique.

The first strike was obviously more powerful than the previous one. Without hesitation, he struck out again, then the third, the fourth...

Soon, the sword lights were everywhere, almost wrapping him up completely, leaving no room for any penetration.

Huhu~
When Chen Yushu made his final slash, the air made a slight whistling sound as the blade flashed past.

Introduction to the Eighteen-Sword Technique!

Chen Yushu took a deep breath.

There is indeed a huge difference between using this kind of strength and not using this kind of strength.

Before he exerted his strength, just swinging the sword and slashing did not require much effort. However, once he exerted his strength, the surge of force would naturally consume his physical strength.

Of course, it was mainly because his strength was too weak, plus the previous practice of Eight Steps to Chasing the Cicada consumed a lot of energy, so he felt a little tired at this moment.

However, while Chen Yushu was exhausted, Su Ming on the side had his mouth wide open, shocked beyond words.

Just by listening to my explanation once, my disciple has mastered the Eighteen-Sword Technique?

What kind of evil talent is this?
So what I just said about it taking 20 to 30 days to get started, I still underestimated him?
So, who has been teaching such talented apprentices before?
At this moment, he truly felt the huge gap in qualifications.

The only thing that comforted him was that strength, external training and internal training were purely internal skills and they were not something that could be easily achieved with talent alone.

It requires a huge amount of resources and time to practice.

Chen Yushu has been practicing martial arts for too short a time, and his resources are not that abundant, otherwise he is really afraid that the other party will surpass him in a year or two.

Although there is nothing wrong with a student being better than his teacher, it still makes him feel extremely lost.

“It’s been a good practice.

However, there are still some movements that are not standard. For example, when the knife is swung, you can lift it up slightly. When the force is stimulated, won’t it be faster?
And here..."

Su Ming calmed himself down and continued to give instructions.

Chen Yushu nodded repeatedly. After all, his master had practiced this set of swordsmanship to a high level, which could be regarded as a top-level instruction. Perhaps a sentence or two of guidance could save him countless hard work.

Such as this time.

After some instruction, Chen Yushu practiced again and completed a set of sword techniques.

Eighteen consecutive swords +35
Looking at the increased experience value of the Eighteen-Strike Strike on the attribute panel, he felt relieved.

Without any hesitation, he asked about his movements and strength changes and got guidance.

Eighteen consecutive swords +42
Eighteen consecutive swords +33
Mastered it!

Chen Yushu also felt extremely surprised and delighted.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that there was a huge difference between having a master to teach and not having a master to teach. If he were to practice on his own, it would take at least two or three days to reach the level of proficiency.

After dinner!

Just as Chen Yushu was about to continue practicing, Manager Zhou came up and said, "Yushu, someone is looking for you."

"Who?"

Chen Yushu finished his training and walked over.

“Old Chen.

I asked him but he still didn’t tell me.”

Manager Zhou said angrily.

"I have something I want to ask him for help with, and now it seems that there is some progress."

When Chen Yushu heard this, his eyes lit up and he hurried downstairs. As expected, he saw Chen Shi standing at the door and he quickly walked over.

"Uncle Chen, please come here in person."

Chen Yushu bowed and said.

"It's okay. I just happened to be passing by and came to tell you."

As he said this, he pulled Chen Yushu away. When Manager Zhou, who was about to come closer to listen, saw this, his face darkened, he snorted, and turned back unhappily. At the beginning, it was he who introduced the two people to each other and let Chen Yushu rent the other's house. Now he is still on guard against him when something happens.

“The matter you entrusted to me has come to fruition.

My classmate happened to be in charge of the academy's collection of books. According to him, many of the books in the academy were donated by gentry and merchants, and in principle, ordinary people were not prohibited from borrowing books.

But the academy is a place for study after all, and there are many students inside, so ordinary people are naturally not allowed to get close.

First, I was afraid that someone would become cynical and hurt the students. Second, I was worried that someone would have bad intentions and destroy the books, ruining the hard work of our predecessors.

Therefore, for ordinary people who want to read books in it, except for the direct relatives of the gentry and merchants, there is only one way. "

Chen Shi looked at Chen Yushu and spoke.

"any solution?"

Chen Yushu asked.

"Donate silver!"

Chen Shi showed a trace of embarrassment on his face. Scholars like him were often ashamed to mention money. Of course, he passed the examination for the title of scholar more than ten years ago and had long since given up the pursuit of knowledge. Embarrassment was just a habitual disguise. If he really got money, he would not be polite.

"How much to donate?"

Chen Yushu frowned.

"Usually, fifty taels of silver is enough."

As he spoke, he looked at Chen Yushu's expressionless face, hesitated a little, and then said quickly: "But who told me to be familiar with my classmate?

He also gave me face.

When the time comes, you only need to pay thirty taels of silver.

Once the money is paid, the college will issue an entry and exit certificate and a book borrowing receipt.

This way, you can read freely in the college without being affected.”

Chen Yushu thought about it for a moment. Although he knew that Chen Shi must have made a profit from it, studying was indeed extremely important to him. If he did it himself, it would be time-consuming and laborious, and it might not succeed.

So he nodded and agreed.

Then he returned to the shop and spoke to his master. After being allowed to go out, he went home with Chen Shi, took out thirty taels of silver, and went to the academy with him.

Chen Shi's classmate was a teacher who was about forty years old. He had a mustache and small eyes, and looked more like a businessman than a scholar.

The man's surname was Wen, his given name was Ronghua, and his courtesy name was Xuan. He was a juren. When he saw Chen Yushu and the others, he just nodded and said, "I'm here."

Then Chen Shi came forward and told the other party about Chen Yushu's situation.

Of course, verbally, he naturally called him his son or nephew. Fortunately, they both had the surname Chen, so it made sense.

After the final busy work of about an hour, Chen Yushu had two more tokens on his waist.

One is the certificate for entering and exiting the college, which is actually equivalent to a student nameplate with his name engraved on it. Every student in the college has one. The guards at the school gate will let in when they see the nameplate.

The only thing is that he cannot go into the classroom to study like other students.

The other one was a purple-black token with the word "Wenchang" written on it.

It means that with this token, he can freely enter the Wenchang Pavilion in the academy.

Wenchang Pavilion, located in Ningjing Academy, is where the library is located.

After Chen Yushu got the two tokens, he went straight to Wenchang Pavilion without hesitation.

The gatekeeper was a young scholar. When he saw Chen Yushu's Wenchang Order, he let him in even though he looked unfamiliar.

What you see are rows of bookshelves.

It was filled with books.

The Four Books and the Five Classics, works by famous scholars, theories of the classics...

Perhaps it was still class time, so there were not many people inside. Chen Yushu was walking inside with a look of surprise on his face.

There are indeed a lot of books here.

There are five bookshelves, three rows up and down, each one is more than thirty meters long and is densely packed with books.

Chen Yushu picked up a book at random, "One Hundred Poems of Chen Yongru", and started reading without choosing.

Reading +1
The psalms are short.

But after reading the entire book, Chen Yushu gained three new insights into reading.

As for whether the poem is good or bad? He does not comment.

Then he quickly picked up the second one.

This time, the book "The Doctrine of the Mean" among the Four Books and Five Classics was also an orthodox book that he had not read yet.

Chen Yushu didn't have any special ideas, and didn't care about the meaning of the book itself. Since he picked it up, he just started reading it like an ordinary book.

Anyway, he has a photographic memory and reads very quickly.

One, two, three...

My reading experience also increases rapidly.

In this way, half an hour passed.

Chen Yushu heard the sound of a bell ringing.

It was the end of the school day at Ningjing College. Outside the gate, students were passing by one after another, and there were waves of greetings to the teachers.

Chen Yushu looked up at the sky outside and felt that it was still early, so he lowered his head and immersed himself in the sea of books again.

Until it gets dark.

He wanted to continue reading, but the academy would close before dark and Wenchang Pavilion would also be closed. Only then did he reluctantly put down the book and walked out.
