Chapter 9: Meteor Blade
Given his familiarity with the Bear King Fist, achieving mastery in the basic boxing techniques is essentially a futile endeavor. Therefore, Zheng Ming decided to opt for the herbal remedies of the martial world
What a remarkable bear physique; it possesses such extraordinary utility for the cultivation of suitable techniques!
Zheng Ming's Cang Xiong style has made remarkable progress in practicing the Bear Hug technique. Naturally, the first choice he made was the Bear King Fist
However, Zheng Ming is confident in the cultivation of the Soul Severing Spear
The five major realms of martial arts, with each advancement in level, the power can be doubled
Especially the Bear King Fist, which reached a profound level just yesterday. As for his Bear Hug technique, there is also a vague sense of breaking through the fourth level and advancing to the fifth level.
More than ten secret manuals, apart from the Bear King Fist, only two remain in front of Zheng Ming
The Tenth Rank Inferior Martial Arts, the Soul-Ending Spear, is characterized by its grand and expansive movements, with each thrust capable of delivering a fatal blow. Upon reaching the perfected realm of cultivation, one can execute the Five Shadows with a single thrust, where shadows pursue the soul.
It is said that if the Meteor Blade Technique lacks the heart mantra, it is likely that such a technique would not have fallen into the hands of the Zheng family
"Furious Wind Leg", a tenth-grade lower-level martial art, with legs like a raging wind, sweeping away fallen leaves, can surpass the speed of the wind in peak condition
Xiang Chong, this fellow, really is somewhat lacking in strength
Although he was unsure of the exact utility of this basic marksmanship, based on his understanding of the Cang Xiong body, Zheng Ming believed that with this basic marksmanship, he could certainly refine the Rapid Soul-Disrupting Spear to a profound level, and even reach a state of comprehension.
In that moment, a hint of mischief emerged in his heart, and he forcefully slapped the table, saying: "That proprietress, how can she not serve me my meal while conducting business?"
I do not know when that grandson will come over, my fists are already eager and restless
Unlike the thirteen ranks of martial arts cultivation, martial arts manuals in this world are divided into ten ranks. Zheng Ming's father, Zheng Gongxuan, occasionally told Zheng Ming that in ancient times, martial artists were also classified into only ten ranks. However, due to the significant disparities among the ranks below ten, it eventually evolved into the current thirteen ranks.
What is going on here
Seize! Seize! Seize!
Chasing the Moon with a Meteor
I felt that the originally unfamiliar scene, in an instant, became incredibly familiar. His fingers casually picked up a small paperweight from the desk and then tossed it away.
At present, Zheng Ming estimated that if he were to compete against his brother Zheng Heng in the next match, he could definitely defeat Zheng Heng using the Meteor Blade Technique, and even without employing the Meteor Blade Technique, he could at least achieve a draw with Zheng Heng
"Of course, I came to eat." Zheng Ming smiled at Li Xiaoduo and then said in a low voice, "How did you start the shop?"
The three stars accompanying the moon, at a micro-level of the three stars accompanying the moon
The small shop is bustling with activity. Although Fu Yuqing's movements are somewhat stiff, her appearance is a tremendous attraction in itself. The small shop, which has only a few tables, is now nearly overflowing with people.
Over the past three days, his reputation has increased at a rather sluggish pace, with an increase of seventy-one on the first day, fifty on the second day, and only four today
Xiang Chong can also choose one of these two skills: basic marksmanship and basic knife throwing
If the Meteor Blade Technique were not lacking in cultivation insights, Zheng Ming would undoubtedly choose the Meteor Blade Technique without hesitation
After activating this set of cards and drawing random cards twice, the reputation points he gained from administering justice for Li Xiaoduo have almost been exhausted
Zheng Ming gently shook his head as he put away the three flying knives into a specially designed knife pouch
Luming Town remains lively as ever. Zheng Ming, having finished his training in the small woods, smiles and nods at the townsfolk who greet him.
Because he still has a card that has not been chosen in his heart
However, the level of the Soul-Draining Spear is somewhat low. This low level is naturally in comparison to the Meteor Blade Technique
"Meteor Blade", a ninth-grade intermediate martial art, with blades like meteors, each strike a deadly blow, but unfortunately lacking the preceding cultivation heart method
Compared to the progress of the Meteor Flying Knife, what concerns Zheng Ming even more is his reputation value, which currently stands at one hundred thirty-five
Although there are differences from the description of the Meteor Chasing the Moon in the Meteor Blade manual, this is indeed the Meteor Chasing the Moon
As Zheng Ming's expression changed, he strolled over, picked up a long bench, and sat down casually. Then he loudly said, "Bring me two buns, and also a bowl of thin rice porridge."
Li Xiaoduo's head suddenly lowered, and she spoke in a voice only audible to mosquitoes: "Madam Shao asked me what I usually do at home, and I said I help my mother with needlework to earn money for the family"
In fact, below the tenth rank, in some major sects, it is still not recognized as an entry rank
Zheng Ming hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and, with the only remaining option in his heart, chose the basic flying knife technique
Meteor Blade, Soul Severing Spear
Xiang Chong's basic flying knife technique seems only capable of supporting himself in refining the Meteor Knife Technique to a subtle level
Li Xiaoduo saw a lively young girl dressed in simple clothes, who was loudly calling out: "Steamed buns, porridge, hot and steaming meat buns!"
Hmm, Jingxiang's shop! Zheng Ming arrived at the location where he had beaten Wu Banjian, looked up, and found that the store, which originally sold miscellaneous goods, had changed its sign.
After reviewing the Thirty-Six Forms of Bear King Fist, Zheng Ming felt that this set of martial arts had essentially been imprinted in his heart
The paperweight is, after all, not a flying knife. Zheng Ming, filled with the impulse to cultivate, recalled that there were still ten flying knives stored in his family's warehouse
If his practice of the Meteor Blade Technique on the first day could be described as a remarkable progress, then today, his Meteor Blade Technique can only be characterized by four words: not a bit of advancement
However, what Zheng Ming found even more difficult to accept was Fu Yuqing, standing next to Li Xiaoduo, dressed in a floral cloth outfit commonly seen in Luming Town, with her delicate hands holding a somewhat oversized soup spoon
This growth rate has made Zheng Ming aware of a harsh reality, which is that the prestige value provided by each individual, once utilized, will disappear forever
On the second day, there was a slight improvement, but on the third day, there was no progress at all. If this situation continues, at my current pace, it is likely to take ten years to master the Meteor Blade Technique to a profound level
Zheng Ming, who has already tasted the benefits of drawing random cards, is eagerly hoping to reach a reputation value of 1,000 in order to draw again
These flying knives should have been crafted by his ancestors, who, after acquiring the Meteor Knife Technique, sought to practice it and thus specially forged these knives
Zheng Ming, filled with impulsive excitement, ran swiftly towards the storeroom. He wanted to test these flying daggers to see just how far he could advance his Meteor Blade Technique using the minor flying dagger technique he had obtained from Xiang Chong.
Although the Soul-Draining Spear is commendable, it is merely an embellishment to the Bear King's Fist. However, once the Meteor Blade Technique is mastered, it will significantly enhance his strength
After carefully demonstrating the Bear King Fist in this small secret chamber, he discovered that he had actually reached the minor achievement level of the Bear King Fist.
As she threaded the needle, Zheng Ming couldn't help but recall the first time he met Fu Yuqing, the noble and dignified appearance of that woman, and he instinctively tapped his head.
During these three days, Zheng Ming has been training frantically, and both his Bear Hug technique and Bear King Fist are advancing at a speed visible to the naked eye
If one uses Xiang Chong's basic flying knife technique as a foundation, can they successfully cultivate the Meteor Knife Technique on their own
The entire set of Meteor Knife Techniques, he has now reached a level of comprehension. It took him only three days, no, it should be said that after absorbing the basic flying knife techniques belonging to Xiang Chong, he achieved this level in just one day
In the midst of a soft sound, three flying knives, each half a foot long, were embedded in the trunk of a large tree in a triangular formation
Without a heart technique, the likelihood of successfully cultivating a martial art to completion is truly very small
In the small town, there are only so many shops, and Zheng Ming knows what each shop sells even with his eyes closed
... ...
Li Xiaoduo's eyes lit up when she saw Zheng Ming. After a moment of hesitation, she quickly ran to Zheng Ming's side and said: "Second Young Master, what brings you here?"
At this moment, he could see a trace of respect in the eyes of most of the townspeople
The Gale Leg Technique follows the path of agility, which inherently conflicts with the Bear Hug Technique of the Zheng family. After observing the Gale Leg Technique for a while, Zheng Ming managed to grasp the general idea of this leg technique. However, after attempting to execute two kicks, he felt an overwhelming sense of awkwardness
The crisp sound resonates on the street, giving people a peculiar feeling
After the card in Xiang Chong transformed into golden light and merged into his body, Zheng Ming's gaze once again fell upon the manual of the Meteor Blade Technique
The tenth rank lower grade is three levels below the ninth rank middle grade, which means that in terms of power, the Meteor Blade Technique of the same realm is more than twice as strong as the Soul Severing Spear Technique
Zheng Ming stood on a tree stump ten zhang away, his gaze carrying a hint of dissatisfaction. He leaped down to the ground beneath the tree and struck the trunk forcefully with his palm, causing three flying daggers to shoot out from the tree trunk.
However, the person who was busy outside the store at that moment left Zheng Ming momentarily stunned
With a slight shake of his fist, Zheng Ming's thoughts flickered in his mind, wondering if he should first find a few people in Luming Town to beat up a couple of times, thereby increasing his reputation a bit
The weapon chosen by Zheng Gongxuan is the Soul Severing Spear, and Zheng Ming's elder brother, Zheng Heng, also practices the Soul Severing Spear. However, despite practicing for thirty years, Zheng Gongxuan has only achieved a minor level of mastery.
Meteor chasing the moon, three stars accompanying the moon, seven stars pursuing the moon, numerous stars holding the moon
Familiar level of meteor chasing the moon
The Gale Leg technique can serve both as a method of movement and as an attack, proving quite useful for Zheng Ming at present. However, after carefully observing the Gale Leg technique, he set the manual aside.
However, the rapid progress made on the first day made Zheng Ming eager to elevate his Meteor Blade Technique to a profound level, yet reality dealt a ruthless blow to this plan
"Bear King Fist", a tenth-grade lower-level martial art, when cultivated to its peak realm, can unleash the power of three bears with a single punch
One must find a time to compete with my brother again, whenever that may be
On the incomplete Meteor Blade Technique, the position of the Heart Technique has been torn away by someone, leaving only four types of moves
After scanning through all the names of the secret manuals, Zheng Ming first took out the Bear King Fist. This Bear King Fist is a martial art created based on the Bear Pounce technique, and it can be said to be directly inherited from the Bear Hug skill
He is somewhat dissatisfied with his current performance. This is already the third day he has been practicing the Meteor Blade technique, yet there has been no significant improvement compared to the previous two days
The young lady then decided to join me in sewing to support the family, but her sewing skills were truly inadequate. The young lady mentioned that she had learned how to cook porridge in the past, so she opened this eatery.
These books, or rather these secret manuals, aside from "Bear Hug Technique" and "Bear King Fist" which are family heritage techniques, the other techniques are all collected over many years by the Zheng Gong Xuan lineage.
Although Zheng Heng's cultivation is one rank higher than Zheng Ming's, in terms of the mastery of the Bear King Fist, he is far inferior to Zheng Ming
This level is actually quite high; for many people, they may spend their entire lives without being able to cultivate a martial skill to this level
The ordinary village girl attire of Fu Yuqing gives a sense that it lacks three parts of ethereal grace, yet adds five parts of the charm of a beautiful bird from the deep mountains
At this moment, Zheng Ming had already made a definitive choice regarding Li Zhong's card.
