Douluo: I, the Sun God

Chapter 20 Practical Lesson

Hearing this, Qian Renxue nodded. She also felt that Xu Yang's martial soul was mutated. Then the two of them began to chat intermittently. Most of the time, Qian Renxue was talking and Xu Yang was listening, occasionally replying a sentence or two.

Ning Fengzhi, who was standing by, smiled as he saw the two of them getting along so well.

Qian Renxue's class only lasted for one morning and ended quickly.

"Senior brother, if you have time, you can come to Tiandou City to find me. I will definitely receive you well!" At the gate of the palace, Qian Renxue held Xu Yang's hand and said enthusiastically.

"Okay, don't worry, junior brother. I will come to Tiandou City to play with you when I have time!" Xu Yang also held Qian Renxue's hand and agreed with a smile on his face.

"Then it's settled!"

After saying that, Qian Renxue forcefully pulled her beautiful hand out of Xu Yang's grasp, seriously doubting in her heart whether the person in front of her was a gay, and she had no idea that Xu Yang had discovered her identity.

After Xu Yang and Ning Fengzhi left, Qian Renxue turned around and returned to her Honghe Palace. She had just started to play the role of Xue Qinghe and still had a lot of things to deal with. The most important thing was to prevent Emperor Xue Ye and others from finding any flaws. The other was to find a way to get rid of Xue Qinghe's two brothers who posed a threat to her.

……

On the other hand, Xu Yang returned to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and returned to his regular life.

Apart from practicing every day, he basically never leaves the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Occasionally, he and Ning Fengzhi would go to take classes with Qian Renxue. The relationship between the two of them had become much better because of this, but they were still not close friends.

Because of the resonance with Qian Renxue's martial soul, Xu Yang felt a sense of urgency and practiced even harder.

As more and more sunflowers were planted, the cultivation environment became better and better, and the improvement in cultivation speed became more obvious, increasing the speed by about 5%. Don't underestimate this 5%, this is the capital that sets Xu Yang apart from others.

He had almost mastered the basics of swordsmanship and began to conduct practical training with Ning Haiyan.

That night, after Xu Yang finished his physical training, he fired a few shots of "Morning Light" at himself to repair any hidden injuries, and then came to the training ground.

Ning Haiyan was already waiting here. When he saw Xu Yang coming, he threw the wooden sword in his hand over.

"Master, are you really sure you want to have an actual fight?!"

Just as Xu Yang caught the wooden sword, Ning Haiyan's questioning voice rang in his ears. He smiled and said seriously, "Of course, actual combat is the only way to cultivate strength. I don't want to have only training but no combat power in the future!"

"Are you ready to be beaten?!"

"what?!"

Xu Yang was a little confused. Just as he reacted, a wooden sword was already in front of him and hit his shoulder directly. He immediately felt his entire right arm numb, and the wooden sword in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang".

"The first key to actual combat is to learn how to take a beating if you want to fight. Familiarize yourself with all kinds of attacks, so you can stay calm in any situation and not panic. Know how to respond and apply what you've learned in actual combat!"

Xu Yang looked at Ning Haiyan with a smile on his face, and seriously suspected that this guy did it on purpose.

Rolling his eyes in annoyance, Xu Yang redirected his soul power to his right arm to get rid of the numbness. Then he picked up the knife from the ground again and shouted, "Come again!"

As he said that, he picked up the knife and rushed forward.

He did not refute it, nor did he make excuses saying that he was not ready.

Having lived two lives, he only remembered that in his previous life, except for a few fights at school when he was a child, he basically never fought with anyone. In this life, he only consciously trained and learned theoretical knowledge, and never took any physical action.

Although he had been practicing swordsmanship and archery these days, it was just practice and he had not put these swordsmanship into actual combat.
"boom!"

"Come again!"

"boom!"

"Come again!"

"boom!"

"Come again!"

……

Even though Ning Haiyan controlled his soul power to the same level as Xu Yang, Xu Yang was still basically taking a beating. His swordsmanship was basically just waving around randomly, and he didn't apply what he had learned during this period to the battle at all.

This kind of return had no effect on Ning Haiyan at all. It was like a child playing house and could be broken with ease.

Ning Haiyan's knife was too fast, too heavy, and too cruel.

Decades of fighting not only increased Ning Haiyan's combat experience dramatically, but also honed his swordsmanship to a terrifying level. These are all things Xu Yang needs to learn.

Two hours later, Xu Yang's screams continued until he barely learned how to use the knife and lay on the ground with a bruised face. Ning Haiyan then stopped and sat next to Xu Yang.

"Master, how do you feel?!"

"Actual combat is actual combat. Pure practice won't do. I have too many problems!"

Recalling the battle just now in his mind, he could clearly see the trajectory of Ning Haiyan's sword every time. He had ideas of how to respond in his mind, but his hands could not keep up.

Typical brain: I got it!
Hand: No you didn't!
"In fact, young master, you are a little too concerned about my reminder and the length of the wooden sword in your hand. The theory that an inch longer is an inch stronger is very practical in the army. Most of the people in the army are ordinary people. They have no soul power, so they have an advantage in using long weapons such as guns and spears. But this theory is the opposite for soul masters. Soul power can achieve long-range attacks, and the advantage of attack distance with long-handled weapons will disappear in an instant. On the contrary, because the weapon is too long, it will be difficult to change tactics, and the opponent will seize the opportunity." Ning Haiyan pointed out Xu Yang's biggest problem.

Ning Haiyan is nearly two meters tall, with very long arms. In addition, the wooden sword he holds is larger than Xu Yang's, so the range of his attack is much larger than Xu Yang's each time. This is why Xu Yang kept staring at his hands and wooden sword during the battle.

"I understand! What I should grasp is not the length of the weapon, but the distance between the two of us, and always control this distance in a position that is beneficial to me. For example, when we were fighting just now, if I had fought close to you, I would not be able to let you use large-scale attacks as you please and still play to my advantage!" Xu Yang thought about it for a while and understood what Ning Haiyan meant.

"That's right!" Ning Haiyan was very satisfied.

"Then Uncle Ning, let's continue tomorrow!"

After taking a look at the sky, Xu Yang used a few more shots of 'Morning Light' on himself to heal his injuries. He greeted Ning Haiyan and then forced himself to return to his room with his exhausted body.

……

In the blink of an eye, another eight months passed. Xu Yang's soul power finally reached level 20, and his swordsmanship also improved by leaps and bounds. According to Ning Haiyan, he was already capable of fighting among soul masters.

During this period, there is occasionally another task, which is taking care of the baby.

That’s right, taking care of the baby.

As long as Ning Fengzhi and his wife and the two Douluo Jian and Gu were busy, Ning Rongrong would be handed over to Xu Yang, which made him very helpless.
