On the martial arts field, more than a dozen new disciples were sweating profusely, hitting the water in the pottery basin again and again. Beside them, the ground was covered with broken pottery pieces. In the wooden man room, young men stood in front of each wooden man, and the dull sound of palms hitting fish skin continued. Their palms were swollen and blood was oozing from their knuckles, but they all gritted their teeth and persevered. As time went by, the differences in talent and ability were clearly revealed in these young disciples! In the training room next door, Zhang Yuan was learning the Zhanlang sword technique under the guidance of Dong Yuanwei. The Zhanlang sword of the Angry Whale Gang was famous. It was said to be created by the first gang leader Dong Zhuohang. After hundreds of years of continuous improvement by sword masters, it has now become a martial art that must be mastered by the children of the War Hall. The Zhanlang sword technique is not only suitable for land battles, but also more powerful on the water. In a battle with a big gangster, the Whale Gang assembled hundreds of members of the Battle Hall who were proficient in the Chopping Waves Sword Technique to form a sword formation, and broke the opponent's formation with overwhelming force, winning a decisive victory. Originally, new disciples like Zhang Yuan needed to practice the Shocking Wave Palm for three months before they could learn the Chopping Waves Sword and Lingbo Step after they had achieved some success.
But he surpassed his peers and practiced the Shocking Wave Palm to the level of mastery in just one month. Therefore, Dong Yuanwei made an exception and taught this sword technique in advance. There are seven styles of the Chopping Waves Sword Technique in total. The moves are concise, sharp, and fierce, focusing on strength and intention. So it is quite simple to master the sword moves, but it takes time to practice the sword momentum. Unlike practicing the Shocking Wave Palm, Dong Yuanwei not only taught Zhang Yuan the secrets of the sword technique, but also personally practiced with him. For five consecutive days! And this one-on-one teaching method is very effective. Zhang Yuan quickly became a knife master from a layman who only knew how to chop and slash. This made Dong Yuanwei appreciate him more and more! "Change the knife today." The war hall instructor handed Zhang Yuan a long knife: "Attack me with all your strength!" Zhang Yuan was surprised. Because Dong Yuanwei gave him a sharpened goose feather knife! The goose feather knife is the standard war knife of the Whale Gang. The knife is three feet and two inches long, the blade is narrow and straight, and the tip of the knife is curved and reversed. It is a weapon for close combat. Previously, Zhang Yuan and Dong Yuanwei used the same style of iron wood knife for sparring. I didn't expect that he would change to a real knife now! Zhang Yuan took the knife in his hand, saluted and said: "Please teach me!" The next moment, he suddenly stepped forward, swung the goose feather knife in his hand and chopped it down on Dong Yuanwei's head. The knife flashed, and in an instant it approached the face of the war hall instructor.
Zhang Yuan did not hold back on this strike, and used all his strength as Dong Yuanwei wished. Clang! The long sword slashed on the thick back of the sword, but was blocked by Dong Yuanwei at the critical moment. The collision produced dazzling sparks. Zhang Yuan's palm was shaken, and he took a step back involuntarily. The difference in strength between the two sides was fully demonstrated through the collision of the swords. Zhang Yuan was not frustrated at all, but instead suddenly became eager to fight, and immediately swung the sword again to attack Dong Yuanwei's vitals. One sword after another, Zhang Yuan's full-strength attack actually had a faint sense of sword-wielding. Dong Yuanwei only defended and retreated, allowing Zhang Yuan to perform. Zhang Yuan became more and more excited as he fought, and his sword techniques became more and more handy. But because Dong Yuanwei kept parrying and blocking, he could never really enjoy himself. It was as if there was an invisible barrier in front of him, and no matter how hard Zhang Yuan tried, he could not break it. This uncomfortable and unpleasant feeling accumulated little by little, making his emotions reach a certain limit. "Kill!" Zhang Yuan suddenly shouted, and naturally activated the second host of the God's Nest - the Jade Mantis, blessing himself with the extraordinary ability given by the latter. At this moment, Zhang Yuan's mind flashed with inspiration. Many questions that he didn't understand about the swordsmanship suddenly became clear in his heart, as if he had the answer as if he had been enlightened! Within three breaths, he swung five swords in succession. The first to the fifth styles of the Zhanlang swordsmanship were completed in one breath, like a long river rushing. The sharp sword light was overwhelming! "Huh?" Dong Yuanwei's face changed, and his eyes instantly became more solemn. He did not take Zhang Yuan's blade head-on, but suddenly swept back more than ten steps, widening the distance between the two sides. At the same time, he left the state of head-on confrontation. Zhang Yuan's momentum was also lost after a series of strikes and slashing in the air. He could not help but stop. Dong Yuanwei looked at Zhang Yuan and asked in a deep voice: "How did you do it?" There was a hint of doubt in his tone.
Zhang Yuan's five consecutive sword moves just now were as powerful as mercury pouring down the ground. It was clear that he had realized the intention of the Zhanlang Sword. Its lethality was ten times stronger than before, which made him, a master of Huajin, feel a little threatened. You should know that Dong Yuanwei not only has profound skills, but also has been immersed in the Zhanlang Sword for many years. Whether in experience or strength, it is beyond Zhang Yuan's reach. But Zhang Yuan has only learned the swordsmanship for five days, but he has actually understood some of the sword intention. This made Dong Yuanwei feel very incredible! If Zhang Yuan's identity and background had not been investigated clearly, this war hall instructor would have suspected that he was the illegitimate son of a gang leader who was stranded outside! "Uh..." Zhang Yuan didn't know how to answer. He couldn't say that he was impulsive and gave Jade Mantis the ability to master intermediate swordsmanship, which led to a breakthrough in battle! God's Nest is Zhang Yuan's biggest secret. Even if it's his own mother, he won't reveal a single thing. "I didn't expect..." In the end, Dong Yuanwei found the answer himself: "You also have such an outstanding talent in swordsmanship!" The war hall instructor said a little uninterested. People are so annoying when they compare themselves to others! Dong Yuanwei spent countless hard work and efforts to master the sword force and sword intention of the Zhanlang swordsmanship. He became a leading swordsman in the Linhe branch of the Wrath Whale Gang. Now compared with Zhang Yuan, he feels that he has lived like a dog at his age. However, despite sighing, the war hall instructor will not be jealous of Zhang Yuan. Instead, he feels surprised and relieved that he has dug up a treasure. "Come again!" Dong Yuanwei raised the long sword in his hand, and his expression became extremely serious. Previously, he was only 30% serious in his sparring with Zhang Yuan, but now he has to increase it to 70%. As the saying goes, jade cannot be made into a useful tool without being polished. Dong Yuanwei decided to turn himself into a sharp carving knife to polish Zhang Yuan, this rough jade! When Dong Yuanwei became completely serious, Zhang Yuan immediately felt a mountain of pressure. But this pressure did not make him retreat at all. Zhang Yuan held the knife in his hand and saluted Dong Yuanwei again: "Master, please teach me!"
Although he had never performed the ceremony of apprenticeship. But for Zhang Yuan, Dong Yuanwei, who had been teaching him carefully, was no different from a real master. He was respectful, bold and heroic, and then went all out!
