Chapter 0002: The Wave-Cutting Technique
When Ye Mo first began practicing this move, he could barely turn a few times before feeling dizzy, his head spinning, and his steps faltering, forcing him to stop.
Just now, Ye Mo executed the first basic form of the "Wave Cutting Technique," known as "Breaking the Waves Slash," which is the simplest initial form of the technique. Following this, there are intermediate moves such as "Vortex Slash" and advanced moves like "Stacking Waves Slash"
This is his habit of practicing martial arts; every day before dawn, he begins training in the water
In the blink of an eye, five years have passed, and upon reaching the age of eighteen, I have mastered the "Vortex Slash"
The techniques of "Zhan Lang Jue" are very simple, consisting of a total of three levels, with only three techniques.
The first technique, Wave Slash, has been completed. Now, I will practice the second technique, Vortex Slash
Ye Mo stood with a sword in hand amidst the morning sun and the waves, his youthful face displaying an unparalleled calmness
"Wave-Cutting Decision", a low-level martial art technique
The first form of the Chopping Waves Technique is very simple
Ye Mo shouted loudly, his arm exerting tremendous force as the Qingfeng sword instantly cleaved towards the crest of the oncoming waves. A powerful surge of strength erupted in an instant, transmitted from the muscles of his arm to the sharp sword.
He then sheathed the Qingfeng sword.
Before setting out to sea, Ye Mo tested his foundational strength, which was already at 200 pounds. As long as he breaks through to the later stage of body refinement, he will be able to possess 300 pounds of strength
The sky is still dark, and everything is shrouded in a haze.
Although this book "Zhan Lang Jue" is considered a low-level martial art, it eliminates all flashy techniques, leaving only the two most straightforward and practical forms. Any technique, if practiced more than 1,000,000 times, can reach the realm of mastery, with power surpassing that of high-level martial arts techniques
However, there are very few martial artists who can master the Wave Cutting technique. Those who can reach the highest level of the Triple Slash are even rarer.
Ye Mo sank to the bottom of the sea, continuously unleashing vortex slashes
When thirsty, drink water; when hungry, eat fish. The physique of the young Ye Mo relies on the fish in the river for nutritional supplementation
The strength of a warrior is the foundation of everything; without strength, one cannot unleash sufficient speed to match - the - book
It took him five years to master this second form to an extraordinary level of proficiency
Gazing at the myriad of splashing waves in the sky
The essence of "Breaking the Waves" lies in delivering a fatal blow to the enemy in the simplest manner, in an instant
I have already mastered the first form of the beginner level, 'Breaking the Waves', and the second form of the intermediate level, 'Vortex Slash', to their peak levels. However, I have yet to successfully cultivate the third form of the advanced level, 'Wave Overlapping Slash'
At that time, Ye Mo was only eight years old and did not understand these matters
These two cold rays of light cleave through the waves, one after the other
He spent as long as ten years cultivating the "Wave-Cutting Technique," enduring daily hardships. He practiced the first move, the Wave-Cutting Slash, ten million times, and the second move, the Vortex Slash, five million times, far surpassing the realm of mastery.
Regardless of the fish swimming in the river, whether it be a pufferfish weighing over several tens of pounds or a tiny shrimp smaller than a yellow bean, with a single stroke of his sword, everything in his hand will be evenly divided in two.
The two thousand nine hundred and ninety-ninth cut ... ... . The three thousandth cut! Completed!
Meat, provisions, and fresh water are all essential for his survival on this deserted island
Then, he strode into the seawater near the beach, allowing the water to submerge most of his body
This third form is actually an upgraded version of the first form, the Wave-Cutting Slash, combining two or even three Wave-Cutting Slashes into one. Therefore, it is nominally the third form, but in essence, it is still a continuous strike of the first form
Ye Mo, wielding the Qingfeng sword, wearily left the sea.
Ye Mo has been practicing the sword technique "Zhan Lang Jue" since the age of 8, and it has been a full 10 years.
The cultivation of martial skills is by no means an endeavor that can be accomplished in a day or two; filling one's stomach on this island is a formidable task, and one must also explore the island to see if there are any streams to seek fresh water to drink
Now, every time he completes the Vortex Slash, the large whirlpool formed in the water can last for a full incense stick's worth of time before gradually dissipating
Ye Mo touched his growling stomach
Ye Mo was naturally unwilling to accept this, pressed his lips together, and prepared to go to https://m.hetushu.com for another wave of decisive action
After a decade of relentless cultivation, Ye Mo has mastered the first form of the "Zhan Lang Jue" to perfection, and the second form to an extraordinary level. He has begun to attempt the cultivation of the most powerful advanced third form—"Lang Die Zhan".
The longer the duration of the vortex created by the "Vortex Slash," the more significant its power becomes
In the blink of an eye, the waves crash against me
The several seabird eggs that I roasted last night have already been consumed by me, it seems I must go find some more to bring back
In that moment, the Qingfeng sword in Ye Mo's hand moved
A wave of one and a half zhang in height, perfectly and flawlessly split in two, surged past him without a single drop of spray from the crest of the wave touching him
However, once one is able to cultivate in water, the power of the vortex slash unleashed on land can be extraordinarily formidable
He practiced the first form of the "Wave-Cutting Technique," "Breaking the Waves," day after day amidst the streams, waterfalls, and rivers of the Martial Kingdom, facing the splashes of the flowing water
The "Wave Overlapping Slash" reaches its strongest level, allowing for consecutive two or three slashes in an extremely brief moment, with each slash stronger than the last, exhibiting tremendous ferocity; once it strikes the opponent, it will either result in death or severe injury
The technique "Breaking the Waves" is surprisingly simple, so simple that it consists of only one movement—slicing downwards with a sword into the waves ahead, cutting straight through without any change in technique
The essence of martial arts can be summed up in four characters: 'Practice makes perfect'
Ye Mo knew that he had failed once again
A martial arts technique that is the simplest of its kind, practicing it 10,000 times results in "the technique is poor," a commonplace skill. Practicing it 100,000 times leads to "the technique is proficient," a modest achievement. Practicing it 1,000,000 times reaches the level of "pure and passionate," which can be considered first-rate. Practicing it 5,000,000 times attains the pinnacle of "reaching the peak," which is superlative. Practicing it 10,000,000 times achieves the realm of "transforming decay into the miraculous," a level that only a grandmaster can attain.
Reinserting the sword into its sheath is to practice one's sword-drawing speed. Generally, a warrior's sharp sword is kept in the sheath, and when faced with a dangerous enemy situation, it is necessary to draw the sword from the sheath immediately. The enemy will not wait for one to be ready before striking.
As the waves were about to crash against him, a cold gleam flashed out, accompanied by a "pop" sound, and the spray of the waves split once more, not landing on Ye Mo.
With a swing of the Qingfeng sword in Ye Mo's hand, two streaks of cold light emerged, meeting a wave of the sea, appearing particularly dazzling under the sunlight
Such a low-grade martial arts manual is naturally priced very low, and it was the only martial arts manual that Ye Mo could afford at that time
In a single day, at least 3,000 strikes are delivered; in a month, nearly 100,000 strikes; in a year, over 1 million strikes; and in five years, over 5 million strikes have been executed, without a single day of interruption
Get up, let's practice martial arts
Ye Mo did not think too much and took the secret manual to practice diligently
Ye Mo woke up early in the morning, crawled out of the tent, and dug out a few roasted seabird eggs that were left over from last night from under the campfire to fill his stomach
Unfortunately, many martial artists disdain the "Wave-Slaying Technique" for being too simple and its training method too monotonous. In the early stages, it offers no advantages at all, and they simply lack the patience to cultivate it to the highest level
The division of the body refining stage for martial artists is very clear, generally based on strength. An ordinary martial artist in the initial stage of body refining can steadily exert a force of 100 pounds, in the mid-stage can steadily exert a force of 200 pounds, and in the late stage can steadily exert a force of 300 pounds
Gradually, Ye Mo's rotation speed increased, and a white crack began to form where the Qingfeng Sword made contact with the seawater. As Ye Mo's rotation accelerated, the crack grew larger, seemingly no longer touching the seawater, as if a vacuum had been created by the sword's force.
Ye Mo has diligently practiced for ten years, yet he still has not mastered the Wave Overlapping Double Slash
Ye Mo, holding the Qingfeng sword, steadied his footing in the sea, facing the surging waves head-on
Although practicing the "Zhanlang Jue" can enhance one's physical strength, it is ultimately an external skill. Practicing for two to three hours each day reaches the limit of what the body can endure
After Ye Mo completed the first form of his training, he began to practice the intermediate second form, "Vortex Slash." This form involves shaping the sword energy into a vortex that slashes around in a circular motion.
The "Wave Overlapping Slash" requires extremely fast speed, with at least a double strike in an instant, thereby delivering double the force and speed of the attack to the enemy. Otherwise, it is merely the "Breaking Wave Slash," rather than the "Wave Overlapping Double Slash" or "Wave Overlapping Triple Slash"
This is the wage he earned for working for half a year at a tavern in the city of Wuguo when he was a child, and it was used to buy a low-grade martial arts manual from a small stall at the local market. The "Zhanlang Jue" is even of a lower grade than some other street martial arts manuals such as "Tiger Fist," "Eagle Claw," and "Mantis Fist" that can be found at the stall.
Another hour has passed
Ye Mo took a deep breath, submerged himself several zhang deep into the sea, completely immersing his body, and began to practice "Vortex Slash" at the bottom of the shallow waters.
Under the sea, a whirlpool centered around Ye Mo gradually formed, spinning faster and faster, with the surrounding seawater within dozens of zhang also swirling, surging violently towards Ye Mo, all of it being drawn into the whirlpool at his feet
He held his breath, gripping the Qingfeng sword with both hands, and executed a rapid spinning slash
However, any technique that has undergone five years and five million repetitions of rigorous training, even the simplest martial arts move, can unleash an incredible power
The sun rises from the sea, revealing the first ray of dawn
Another hour has passed, and today's training sessions for martial arts have long been completed. I have not been able to master the third technique, the Wave Overlapping Slash, and have only been continuously refining the first two techniques.
For a full hour, Ye Mo continuously practiced the first move "Wave Breaking Slash," completing three thousand repetitions in a day
Ye Mo vaguely remembers what the stall owner said to him when he bought this martial arts manual back in the day
island
Crash!
"Vortex Slash" is a ranged sword technique that allows the user to simultaneously attack enemies within a radius of one zhang. This is a martial skill designed for one against many.
In the summer, he jumped into the cool stream and struck at the fish swimming in the river
Ye Mo spent nearly three months merely practicing the balance of drawing his sword in a rotating manner
Drawing the sword, with a swift motion the blade descends, the azure blade returns to its sheath, all executed in one seamless action wwwhetushucomcom
In winter, the river surface freezes, and he shivers from the cold. He breaks a large hole in the ice and jumps into the bone-chilling river water to continue his training
The resistance in water will significantly increase the difficulty of training
The third style, "Wave Overlapping Slash," as the name suggests, is akin to the waves of a great river, with each wave rising higher than the last
Ye Mo is currently at the mid-stage of a martial artist, which corresponds to the sixth level of the body refining stage
The techniques are overly simplistic, lacking even variations. It is difficult to see results in a short period of time during training, and the training methods are too monotonous, leading few martial artists to be willing to engage in long-term practice of such a manual. "The Wave-Cutting Technique" has been denounced as a worthless martial art by countless beginners, even considered inferior to styles like "Tiger Fist" and "Eagle Claw Technique"
His physical cultivation at the sixth level is still insufficient, resulting in a lack of explosive speed, and he is still unable to master the Wave Stack Slash
The power of the waves is immense, capable of easily overturning a person. When a giant wave crashes against the body, it feels as though one has been struck by an iron plate, causing intense pain
Ye Mo pondered in his heart
It is precisely because the sword technique is astonishingly simple, stripping away all complex moves, leaving only the most straightforward and powerful attack action of a slash. This sword strike has almost become his instinct.
Dawn
Ye Mo faced a wave of surging sea water, his body slightly leaning forward, all his muscles tensed, and his right hand firmly gripping the hilt of his sword
As he looked on, a wave was about to engulf him
After a full half of an incense stick's worth of time, Ye Mo executed dozens of vortex slashes in succession. With his internal energy depleted, he pushed off the seabed with the tips of his toes and suddenly leaped up, "Splash!" breaking free from the powerful pull of the vortex, he burst out of the surface of the sea, gasping for breath.
The cultivation of "Vortex Slash" is extremely difficult, with the key being to maintain excellent balance while rotating the sword.
He became excited and immersed himself in intense practice as soon as he brought back the martial arts manual
While cultivating the "Wave-Cutting Technique," his physique has also been greatly enhanced
The first form of "Zhan Lang Jue" is "Po Lang Zhan", break through!
Ye Mo spent five years, and at the age of thirteen, he painstakingly mastered the first form of the "Wave-Cutting Technique," known as "Breaking the Waves," to an extraordinary level.
