Chapter 122: Foundation and Thunder Knife

  When the red sun rises from the east, light breaks through the darkness and warmth dispels the cold. But how many people can still feel this warmth and light now? Anyway, Wu Xiaotian knew that those unconscious zombies absolutely couldn't feel the warmth of the sun!

  "Boom, boom......"

  Wu Xiaotian stood at the hotel entrance, watching the dump truck leave. He also hoped that Duan's mother would recover from her illness soon and that Duan Yue would get rid of his psychological burden as soon as possible. As the dump truck drove away with a loud rumble, Wu Xiaotian turned around and returned to the hotel. Now he wanted to go see if Xia Ming had started teaching martial arts yet, and also go see how many people were following Xia Ming to learn martial arts. If they didn't cherish such a good opportunity, Wu Xiaotian didn't know what words to use to describe them.

  "Hmm, ha"

  Before approaching the place where martial arts were being taught, Wu Xiaotian heard the shouting voices. Although the sounds were extremely mixed, Wu Xiaotian could tell that these voices were all full of energy. Hurrying over to take a look, Wu Xiaotian discovered that everyone was squatting in horse stance, including little Yan Yan. With her clear and crisp childlike voice, she continuously shouted "Hun, ha" along with the crowd.

  And Xia Ming limped around them with a gait, correcting anyone who didn't squat in the standard horse stance.

  "When everyone's horse stance has become standard, Xia Ming finally spoke up: "Don't underestimate this horse stance, it may be simple, but it is the foundation of martial arts. If the foundation is not good, no matter how beautiful and elegant your moves are, they are just empty shells. In a fight against zombies, they won't spare you just because your moves look cool..."

  "Clap, clap!" Wu Xiaotian walked over, clapping his hands, and said to the crowd: "Master Xia said it well. When fighting against zombies, we should use the simplest attacks to achieve the best effect, and ideally kill them with one hit. Basic skills are crucial!"

  "The leader said well, may I ask how you practiced your basic skills in the past?"

  Wu Xiaotian heard Xia Ming's question and knew what he meant, so he said to the crowd: "Hehe, squatting in a horse stance for 2-4 hours every day, basic knife techniques are swung more than 100,000 times a day, and other physical training is also basically over 10,000 times!"

  When the crowd heard Wu Xiaotian's words, they also put away their disdain for basic skills. They had originally thought that Xia Ming would teach them profound martial arts from the beginning, but Xia Ming made them squat in horse stance as soon as he arrived. They still thought that Xia Ming was hiding his true abilities or didn't have any real skills, but they followed Xia Ming's orders because they saw Liu Ting also following along with the horse stance. However, in their hearts, they had a bit of disdain for the horse stance and also a bit of disdain for Xia Ming.

  "Brother Tian, Brother Xia, we'll listen to you two. Whatever you say, we'll do." This foolish guy directly expressed his attitude, and the others also nodded in agreement.

  "Alright, that's good." Wu Xiaotian turned his head to Li Xinqiao, who was squatting beside Li Siyun, and said: "Sister-in-law, you don't have to practice anymore. What if you stir up the fetal energy? It won't be good for the child in your belly. And besides, Little Yu won't let us off easily!"

  "Alright, then I won't practice anymore."

  After hearing Li Xinjiao's answer, Wu Xiaotian's hand touched the top of Xiao Yanyan's little head again, and he said to her with his head down: "Xiao Yanyan doesn't need to practice either, let's start practicing when she grows up, okay?"

  "Listen carefully to Brother Tian's words!"

  "That's good, I'll treat Yan Yan to some sweets later." Turning around, she asked Xia Ming: "Master Xia, is this okay?"

  "Hehe, the leader should have let Miss Li and Tang Xiaojie not come earlier. I also told them not to practice, but they wouldn't listen." Xiaoming wasn't bothered by Wu Xiaotian's actions, on the contrary, he was very happy, because he didn't agree with them practicing martial arts either.

  "Oh, that's it, you guys practice first, I still have something to do and will leave first." After finishing speaking, Wu Xiaotian took a glance at Liu Ting who was squatting in a horse stance, and found that Liu Ting was making a face at him. Wu Xiaotian didn't care about her and directly stepped out to leave.

  After Wu Xiaotian left, Xia Ming spoke up and said: "Squat in horse stance for another half hour, then I'll start teaching you basic fist techniques and basic sword techniques!"

  Wu Xiaotian also wanted to try out the power of "Jiuxiao" at this time, to see if it was as magical as described. While looking for a place to test "Jiuxiao", he also saw the survivors in the hotel watching Professor Xia Ming's martial arts performance. Wu Xiaotian didn't bother them, because he planned to take them away too.

  He walked directly out of the hotel and arrived at the place where he had practiced the first layer of "Jiuxiao". Looking at the dilapidated house, Wu Xiantian could imagine how much commotion he had caused when he broke through. It was strange that he hadn't attracted any zombies. He didn't know that all the zombies had been lured away by someone else. If he knew, Wu Xiantian would have thanked him sincerely. At that time, Wu Xiantian didn't have the ability to resist at all. If the zombies had arrived immediately after he fainted, Wu Xiantian might have ended up tragically.

  After shaking off distractions, Wu Xiaotian began to experiment with various abilities of this "Zhongtian" state.

  Boom, boom, boom

  "Rustling and crackling"

  The sound of explosions and thunder rumbled on, attracting the wandering zombies in the vicinity. They had originally been drawn to the area by Wu Xiaotian's breakthrough, but when they arrived, there was no sign of food left, so they began to wander aimlessly again. Now, they sensed the massive movement and charged towards this location. However, before they could get close, they were struck down by bolt after bolt of lightning, reduced to charred remains.

  "Boom..."

  Smoke and dust slowly rose, and Wu Xiaotian was also choked to cough constantly in the smoke. When the wind blew away the smoke and dust, Wu Xiaotian saw the house he had demolished, but he still couldn't believe that the ruins before his eyes were caused by himself. This was a three-story building, and it was demolished by him in less than five minutes. He only used the lowest-level knife technique - Thunder Knife - from "Jiuxiao".

  "This 'Thunder Blade' is to first cover the blade with thunder and lightning, then use a knife technique called 'Beheading General' to attack. As soon as it's unleashed, the surrounding air will be filled with wind and water won't penetrate, while the thunder and lightning on the blade will strike the target along the blade's trajectory."

  Wu Xiaotian was very satisfied with the "Lei Dao" knife method, although this "Lei Dao" was only a knife method brought by the middle sky boundary. With the improvement of the boundary, there were many more exquisite and powerful knife methods waiting for him to cultivate, but Wu Xiaotian was very happy because he finally got rid of using the "Basic Knife Method".
