Chapter 12

However, unlike his vow, he was actually too tired.
“No, but that’s good, but I think it’s too much to not sleep…….”
I became even more tired when I pushed my tired body without sleep.
Moreover, not sleeping even one day during the growth period was fatal.
But as I said many times, my mind was clear.
“If I don’t harmonize this soon, I might die of insomnia…….”
He laughed softly.
Huashan’s disciple dies of insomnia while learning martial arts.
Do you think this makes sense?
A volcano disciple practicing martial arts who didn’t get hit by a fountain, didn’t get jinxed, didn’t collapse in a trance, just died because he couldn’t sleep.
“But I’m afraid it’s going to come true…….”
I thought seriously for a moment, then shook my head to clear my mind.
This is not the kind of ridiculousness I need to worry about right now.
Sealing the sword art I’m most confident in.
I have to learn another sword art that I’m not familiar with.
Of course, harmonizing the mind, body, and soul is also important.
But it’s not something I want to force myself to achieve.
It can only be achieved by sudden realization, by breaking through a barrier.
Therefore, the most important thing now is which martial art to learn.
“No, I don’t need to learn anything new. My sword art is the Plum Blossom Sword. I don’t plan to learn anything else.”
I was hooked from the start.
More than any other sword art, the plum blossom sword was the one that drew me in.
I have no desire to learn any other sword art.
Call me old-fashioned.
But I didn’t like the idea of learning another kung fu other than the one I was dying to learn.
There’s also the Three Jeweled Sword, but it’s not at my level these days, so I’m excluding it.
Besides, I’m a land swordsman anyway, and I don’t have a Mujin master, so I can’t learn it…….
“Except for the assumption that you’re a new swordsman. The rest of them are like hand gong and long gong?”
The hand techniques I’ve learned are Zhang Tian Shu.
I don’t have Zhang Gong, and my kicks are only Xin Liu Ke.
“The one I like is Jiang Chen Shu. Yes, Jiang Chen Shu.”
His mind is made up.
He sheathed his sword at his waist and tensed his body appropriately.
“Hmph.”
Taking a light, deep breath, he stood in a crouching position, held his breath, and extended his fist.
Grasp!
A faintly glowing hand.
This was Zhang Tianxuan’s hand.
Unlike when he was a Bo Ping disciple, his hands glowed as his inner qi moved.
His movements were also different.
When he extended his fist, he instantly retracted it, and when he took a step forward and struck out, he made a sound like a popping noise.
“Again…….”
As I continued to develop, I felt it again.
The feeling of being stuck.
The feeling of splicing the wrong thing together.
“Not…….”
I denied it and continued to build the rest of the first sentence.
And when I finished, I was convinced.
“I wasn’t wrong…….”
Was it because I had reached a new level?
The gaps between the first and second moves, the unnecessary movements, the mess that made me wonder how I ever made it this way.
“No, but it’s still good enough for the Bo Ping disciples…….”
It was definitely well made.
But that’s only for third-rate parlors.
It doesn’t work if you are a little advanced, and there were a lot of gaps for counterattacks.
“Why didn’t they fix it?
The first question that came to mind was this.
I wondered why other people didn’t recognize the weaknesses in my martial arts, which were not very strong and not very advanced.
The second question that came to mind was.
‘A handicraft created by someone who was called a genius. Could it have been this weak?
The answer was no.
Something smelled off.
He had a feeling that the real Jiang Chenxu wouldn’t be like this.
“Okay, I’ll fix it.”
If I could turn it into a plum blade (not by choice), why couldn’t I turn it into Jiang Chenshu?
I started from the beginning and developed it one by one.
First, Qin Lie.
Then I used the power of the sword to overthrow the regime.
Then I switched to the capital and raised it.
“Here it is.”
I felt it.
This was the place to start.
“If you’re going to stab him with all your strength and then instantly extend your hand and hit him in the neck with the capital, why not just fold your arm and elbow him?”
I thought, and tried it.
Boom!
The result: success.
It was more solid than the capital, and there was no fuss.
“Next, Sasik.”
Sasik, spinning, regime.
With a flick of his right foot, Sasik spun around and stabbed him in the back.
“Problem here, too.”
I tried several things.
I tried slamming it with the capital, punching it up, shooting it at an angle, poking it with my left hand…….
But none of it worked.
It didn’t feel right.
My mind was racing and I wasn’t centered.
Moving violently and not centering yourself?
You’re headed straight for a fall.
“Oops!”
But luckily, I regained my center with my right foot.
“…… foot?”
Sudden inspiration.
I felt the foot.
I immediately acted on the inspiration.
Elbow strike, pivot.
Ping-pong, I got it!
“This is it!”
I burst out laughing.
After a few more tries, I finally nailed another formula.
The rotating spin kick.
An attack where you pivot your right foot on its axis and hit the temple with your left foot.
It’s called manual, but it’s my go-to move anyway.
Doesn’t it matter if it’s a punch?
I just want it to be efficient.
And this is better, and it fits my body better.
“Okay, the first one is over, now this one…….”
There are six types of seconds in Jiang Chen Shu.
There are only four movements in each one, for a total of twenty-four movements.
Compared to the number of moves, there are very few.
But since it’s Bo Ping’s first move, less is more.
And I know from my own experience of fixing the first movements, that for Jiang Chenshu, four movements per movements is just right.
If you go beyond four, the balance is broken.
“This candle is…….”
Immersive immersion.
This candle is a gurusu (Curved Blade Hand).
He bends his wrist and curls his fingers like a hook.
It’s a form of sword that can be easily attacked by changes in the wrist.
“But…… guru alone can’t…….”
A guru can lightly parry an opponent’s attacks, but he can’t attack.
So it must be something else that does the attacking…….
“What can easily change in a guru is…….”
It’s a finger, so it’s easy to turn it into a jigoku by extending your fingers and exuding chi.
But I can’t do that because I don’t know ji.
“If I spread my hands…….”
Anyway, when you spread your guru to block the attack, your hand will be stretched by the reactionary force.
What if I extend my fingers to make a capital at the same time?
“A capital, maybe it’s possible…….”
I immediately tried it out.
The test object was a tree.
I flicked my wrist with the gurusu and hit the tree.
Puck!
“Oops, I made a mistake.”
I had forgotten that I had gotten stronger.
My fist was strong enough to smash a rock.
Even though I was punching with the back of my hand, the tree shook violently because of the power behind it.
“I just need to control it a little bit…….”
Controlling the force is not an easy task.
But I’ve done it a lot, so I adjusted it easily and tried to hit the tree again.
This time, I succeeded.
And just as I expected, the gurusu unfolded by the semi-elastic force as soon as it hit, and when I gently spread my fingers, it instantly turned into water.
“Then we can apply this…….”
That was the end of the second.
From then on, attacking with the capital would be a matter of moment-to-moment improvisation.
Now that you’ve got the whole thing under control, you can move on to the next move.
“Let’s go to the baktu for three seconds.”
In the first second, I used a kick, which is manual anyway.
The third second decided to go for a perfect baktu.
“But now that I think about it, only the first second is different from the original form, and the rest of them are just creating a new form?”
In this case, you’re not fixing the baktu, you’re just creating it.
“Let’s just make a new one for this second.”
If your name is Jiang Chenxu, you can’t be exactly like Jiang Chenxu.
We decided to make a new one for the first time.
“If you say baktu…….”
Boxing, the art of fighting with the whole body.
“All I can do is…….”
is to fight with my fists and legs.
“Then you’re using your legs…….”
Then there’s Xin Liuquan.
But you can’t put Xin Liuquan in Jiang Chenshu.
I pondered deeply.
“The Xinliuqiao is a series of kicks, so why can’t Jiang Chenshu be a series of foot and hand movements?”
I figured out how to make the first move.
“Let’s try it then. It’s not …….”
I looked around and realized it was already dark.
It was dawn when we first arrived, so it must have been a long day.
“If it’s evening…… I’m tired…….”
Tiredness poured out of me as I performed the ritual.
Fixing and preparing the first meal is not an easy task, even for a small number of people.
It takes a lot of energy.
“It’s not possible…… to do it by air…….”
You can’t do it by crying.
If your body is tired from using your mind like this, crying won’t solve the underlying fatigue.
What you need is sleep, sleep.
I went home and lay down on my bed.
“Ah, now that I think about it, I didn’t sleep.”
You’re groggy.
He doesn’t want to sleep.
“Huh, this is…… I’ll have to cry or I won’t last.”
You can’t keep going like this.
I continued to cry to relieve my fatigue.
Chirp!
I realized it was morning when I heard a sparrow chirping in the distance.
I stopped crying and washed my face with cold water to clear my head, and stood in the middle of the stage.
“Huh, I have to do yesterday’s work again…….”
Changing Zhang Tianxiu’s diet.
This is the third time.
“Shouldn’t it be better to stab forward first, and then do it?”
Zhang Tianxiu’s hands are naturally manual, so it’s better that way.
He thrusts his hand forward and thinks about how to coordinate it with his foot.
“Like this? No, like this?”
