All the evil beasts in the world, I feed on demons and monsters

Chapter 18: Sword Training in Wangchuan
"Cough, cough, cough!"

The scene before him blurs for a moment, then suddenly becomes clear. The empty River of Forgotten is now empty, with only a pool of his own blood remaining.

Ji Ran touched his neck and found that it was no longer injured.

【You have been defeated. Click to view the revolving lantern. 】

[Current issues: force, reaction, knife skills, unnecessary movements, insufficient muscle mobilization... (Click to view details)]

【Adjustment suggestions (click to view details)】

500 spiritual energy, less than ten seconds.

But although Ji Ran's face turned pale, he looked excited! He had too many problems, too many!
Without the magic weapon, this is my true reaction.

If it weren't for Tang Hengdao's proficiency, he might not be able to block a single blow. And... his own proficiency in swordsmanship was too poor.

This kind of "knowledge" is an infusion-type knowledge, and he has not yet completely learned it into his flesh and blood and brain. In Su Su's previous words, his current mastery of Tang Hengdao is not even his own!

On-the-spot reaction, poor!

The knife skills are poor!
Combat awareness, poor!

Throughout the entire process, his "unkind roots" talent was completely unused. What was particularly embarrassing was that his passive skill, [Angry Beast], wasn't even activated, and he was instantly killed.

Ji Ran took a deep breath. Faced with failure, he became even more excited!
Open the revolving lantern, and you will see a dense array of questions in detail, from the big ones like a swing of a sword to the small ones like the mobilization of a muscle, and even your own spirit and state, as well as your mentality before the battle, with detailed analysis!
Xie Yan misunderstood one thing.

Although Ji Ran's learning ability wasn't great, he was stubborn and resilient. The more difficult the task, the more it aroused his competitive spirit.

At the same time, he has a self that is not influenced by others.

Everyone is on the right, but I am on the left.

This is also why, after three years of junior college study, he was able to start over again despite everyone's doubts and misunderstandings.

This is also why an ordinary college student can overturn everything again, start over, and enter a military academy when everyone thinks he can follow the routine.

In the social environment, seemingly insignificant practices that go against the mainstream public opinion require great courage, determination, and even perseverance!

Keep your mind clear and your steps firm, even if the road is wrong, even if you hit your head against the wall.

But he has surpassed millions of mediocre people.

Ji Ran immediately stood in the empty Wangchuan River and began to practice the movements bit by bit according to the instructions of the [Revolving Lantern].

[The force has been accurately exerted, and the proficiency has improved. ]

【Excessive actions have been eliminated, and combat reflexes have been improved.】

……

During practice, Ji Ran felt the powerful effect of the Wangchuan Mirror! Once he could correctly answer the questions pointed out by the revolving lantern, they would be strengthened into muscle memory, rapidly improving his proficiency!

This kind of quick feedback and rewarding improvement is fascinating!
……

When Ji Ran completely absorbed the questions raised in the revolving lantern, he was still not tired, but rather a little excited!

After leaving Wangchuan and standing in front of the land temple, Ji Ran thought for a moment and entered the mist state again.

[Choose "Liu Boqin", deduct 800 spiritual essence]

The moonlight is light and falls on the flat slope.

Ji Ran, holding a knife, saw Liu Bochin not far away, carrying a steel fork on his back, a hunting knife in his hand, and a longbow hanging diagonally.

"Mage?"

Even though his face had changed, the memories projected by the Wangchuan Mirror remained unchanged. In Liu Bochin's eyes, Ji Ran was now the mage he was familiar with.

"Donor Liu."

Ji Ran walked forward with a smile.

"Where is this place?"

“This is a dream.”

Ji Ran said casually, "I have some martial arts skills that I would like to ask Brother Liu for advice."

"Hmm, in a dream?"

Liu Bochin bared his teeth, apparently recalling some unpleasant memories, and said, "Looking at the magician's magical methods, I'm sure that leopard will suffer no good in his hands."

As he spoke, Liu Bochin put down the steel fork behind him and released his longbow. He said, "Master, what do you want to ask?" Ji Ran raised the sword in his hand and said, "Swordsmanship!"

……

Bang!
"Mage, you shouldn't have cut your hand with this knife."

"Although you mastered the slashing move very well and it was powerful and strong, I interrupted your attack rhythm."

Liu Bochin dodged at this moment, raised his hunting knife, and the back of the knife cut Ji Ran's wrist, directly knocking the knife off his hand.

"you should……"

"what?"

At this moment, Liu Bochin's body turned into green smoke and slowly dissipated.

Time is running out

Worth it!

For a full hour, if Liu Bochin was his enemy, he would have been dead long ago. But Liu Bochin was his friend, and every time a victory or defeat was decided, he would stop and give careful guidance.

My swordsmanship is improving by leaps and bounds!

This feeling is like the things that I already knew are slowly recovering and becoming more and more natural.

【Time has run out, you can check the revolving lantern. 】

[You will gain: tips on sword techniques, combat techniques, and power generation... (See details)]

【Adjustment suggestions (see details)】

Ji Ran carefully checked the revolving lantern and started training immediately!
Five whole days!

Ji Ran would fight with Liu Bochin once or twice almost every day, and then he would train continuously. Under the recurring review, he would practice his moves continuously, honing every knife and punch into muscle movements!
These days, the Wangchuan Mirror has consumed more than 8000 of his spiritual essence. In addition, the Earth Temple requires 1 point of spiritual essence for every minute of offering, which he now realizes is a huge pitfall.

60 spiritual energy per hour. I have consumed more than 1400 spiritual energy in the past few days here.

But the effect is also absolute.

Tang Hengdao was proficient and had completely mastered it.

"Wind and Thunder Sword Sutra", I have already comprehended the first move!
At this moment, Ji Ran stood up, the sword in his hand flew out, and he took a deep breath. He immediately swung the sword in the empty Forgotten River!

There is no fixed method for the moves, this is the true method.

Mastery of swordsmanship doesn't actually involve specific moves; that's something only found in martial arts. However, simple techniques like chopping, slashing, stabbing, swiping, blocking, and intercepting, combined with the characteristics of the horizontal sword, constitute a specialized method for countering any attack.

But the moves are different.

At this moment, Ji Ran's knife was getting faster and faster, and its momentum was getting stronger and stronger!

"Borrow the wind!"

I saw that the sword was as frost-like and as white as silver. It suddenly tore through the air and made a loud bang!
Whoosh!
With the sound of breaking through the air, the horizontal sword was directly embedded deeply into a piece of solid rock for half an inch!
This is borrowing the wind, and its essence is borrowing momentum. By borrowing the power of the moves, this momentum will be combined with inertia to form an extremely powerful blow, but I cannot control it freely now. If I make this blow, my rhythm will be interrupted.

The second move, "Hiding Teeth," is even more difficult. According to the Sword Sutra, the second move requires one to master the "borrowing wind" technique until it can be freely released and retracted, and then to "hide the power."

Just like a wild beast with hidden sharp teeth, according to one's own will, in a certain strike, it can unleash an extremely strong hidden force and bite off a piece of flesh from the enemy!
The power of hidden teeth can directly cut through the flesh behind the armor!
But obviously, this cannot be done in a short time.

Ji Ran put away his knife and left Wangchuan.

It's time to return to reality and prepare to ascend to the world.

Of course, before leaving, Ji Ran had one last thing to do.

He wanted to rely on his own strength to completely kill the demon! He wanted to give a testament to his sword training.

After all, Liu Bochin is more like a master. Now it's time to see his actual combat!

At the same time, it also cuts off the depression in my chest!
[Select target "Jackal Captain", deduct 500 spiritual essence]

The moonlight is like gauze, and the night is boiling like water.

Ji Ran looked at the demon, then leaped up again and ran away with his sword in hand!

In the vast Forgetful River, on the lonely island, two black spots were rushing wildly, and in the center of the desolate island, they collided fiercely, making a loud bang of metal!
　I will start to advance into the world tomorrow, please keep reading~!
