Chapter 21: The Seventy-Two Roads of Knife Techniques Have Been Slightly Mastered

  In the western sky, the sunset is burning. The heavy blue-gray clouds seem to be drifting towards the fiery volcano mouth that has been burned to a deep red, like molten gold, presenting blood-red, amber-colored, and purple flames. The sky is burned with a mottled, multicolored glow, as if it were woven from silk threads.

  The sunset's rays shone on the majestic Mount Tai, casting a glow on the ground. A bit of sunlight filtered through the leaves and landed on a blue-clad youth, who appeared to be only eleven or twelve years old. His eyes were tightly closed as he lay on the ground.

  The boy in blue suddenly opened his eyes and looked around in a daze.

  Gu suddenly opened his eyes, looking around and gazing at the distant red glow of the burning sky. He wondered if it was already evening. It seemed that he had fainted for two or three hours.

  "Huh, where's that mysterious dagger? Gu Chao looked around himself, but couldn't find the mysterious dagger anywhere. After a moment of thought, he recalled that before he fainted, the dagger had stabbed towards his brow, and instinctively touched his brow to find it smooth with no scars at all. At the same time, memories of what happened earlier flooded back into his mind, where countless daggers appeared, dancing ceaselessly, but his memory stopped there."

  Putting all these things together, it can be inferred that the mysterious little knife should have entered its own body in a magical way, and something unknown has happened inside its own body.

  First, let's examine how this mysterious little knife incident has changed me.

  Gu Chao woke up and was rational and calm, which was his usual characteristic.

  Gǔ Chāo first checked his own internal energy boundary and found that his internal energy was still stuck in the third layer of the acquired realm, with no changes at all. Hadn't his internal energy changed? Gǔ Chāo practiced Tai Shan Yuan Qi Gong for a while longer and discovered that the speed of his internal energy cultivation hadn't changed either, meaning his innate talent for internal energy also hadn't changed.

  Gu Chao drew out a crimson copper long knife from its scabbard and wielded it to perform the seventy-two basic knife techniques.

  The 72nd Road Knife Method First Form.

  The 72nd Road Knife Method Second Form.

  The 72nd Road Knife Method, 10th Style.

  The 36th move of the 72 roads knife method.

  Seventy-Second Road Knife Method Seventy-First Style.

  The 72nd move of the 72 roads knife method.

  Gu Chao performed these seventy-two moves, starting from the first move and dancing all the way to the seventy-second move. And while he was dancing through these moves, Gu Chao only had one feeling - comfort!

  That was an extraordinary display of fluid movement, each move unfolding with ease and comfort, reaching the pinnacle of freedom.

  Moreover, originally when the 72 moves were performed, there were many places where the details were difficult to understand. For example, the momentum of the sixth move "Mighty Tiger's Swift Pounce", or the first move "One Knife to Challenge the Heart" - how to execute this knife to achieve the best angle of attack. These moves have always been difficult to master, but now they are easily understood and their difficulties grasped.

  In that case, this mysterious dagger should have enhanced its knife skills talent.

  It's just that the knife technique talent has been improved a bit, but it's still uncertain how much, anyway, there's no hurry to return to Zhongxi Peak, so let's try it out now.

  。。。。。。

  Night is slowly falling.

  The bright moon is like a hook.

  Gu Chao continued to dance with the crimson copper long knife in his hand.

  Gu Chao is now fully immersed in practicing his sword skills, and he's enjoying it extremely.

  As he practiced, the long knife in Gu Chao's hand emitted a flash of light, suddenly darting east, suddenly west, suddenly south, suddenly north, suddenly up, and with one swift slash, it chopped off a branch from a nearby pine tree. The pine needles fell like rain, and for a moment, the knife light was like a dragon, reflecting the moonlight in the night sky.

  Ancient super practice is addictive, suddenly thought of trying to switch moves. The first move opens the mountain after jumping to the seventh move Rainy Mountain, then jumps to the sixty-third move Fierce Tiger Downhill, and then turns his hand to jump to the thirty-fifth move Tai Shan Flowing Spring, and then turns to the seventieth move Heavy as Mount Tai, and then turns his hand to the ninth move One Knife Picks Heart, moves are randomly switching combinations, jumping moves at will.

  Wait!

  He kept jumping and changing moves, the connection between moves didn't have any flaws at all. Whether it was from the first move to the seventh move or from the sixty-third move to the thirty-fifth move, there were no flaws! Perfect! That's right, perfect!

  It was mentioned earlier that a small achievement in knife skills is that there are no gaps between the switching of moves, so the enemy can't grasp the gap between the switching of moves, which has a great effect in fighting against the enemy.

  "Could it be that I have already reached the small success of the 72 Routes Basic Knife Techniques? It seems like in the entire New Snow Mountain Villa, only Little Genius Miao Cuiying has achieved this point."

  Gu was shocked!

  I was really shocked by this news.

  The achievement of Knife Technique is extremely difficult! It's unimaginably hard, at least in the entire Snowy Mountain Villa, only Murong Ying has achieved it. But now, I've easily reached it. Just after waking up from the mysterious small knife, practicing for a while, I've already achieved the Knife Technique. This is too unbelievable!

  Murong Ying spent five months to achieve a small success in the 72 Routes of Knife Techniques, while I only used such a short period of time to achieve it. Although it can be attributed to the accumulation of the previous five months, it is still imaginable how talented my current knife techniques are, and in this aspect, I absolutely surpass the publicly recognized little genius Murong Ying.

  This talent is absolutely freaky! I had thought that the mysterious dagger could enhance my talent, but I never expected it to be enhanced so much, directly raising my own talent to a freaky level!

  Gu Chao was extremely delighted at this moment, having been in this world for five months. He had come to understand many things, including the importance of innate talent. Murong Ying was called a child prodigy for no other reason than his exceptional innate talent. And now, Gu Chao's pure swordsmanship talent surpassed even Murong Ying's.

  With such a demonic talent, he will become extremely powerful in martial arts in the future, and his own martial arts strength will continue to rise.

  The road ahead is extremely bright! Rest for a night today and continue to practice martial arts at Yingxia Peak tomorrow.

  。。。。。。

  Fifteen days later.

  A tattered blue-clad youth, carrying a sack of spoils on his back, walked down the grassy mountain road from Yingxia Peak.

  Although his clothes are tattered, Gu Chao's spirit is very strong and full.

  Ascetic practice, complete.

  After bringing the 72 Roads of Knife Technique to a small success, Gu Chao followed his original plan and went to Yingxia Peak to practice martial arts in front of the Blood Flower. In these fifteen days of practice, he further honed his timing for drawing his knife, defensive knife techniques, offensive knife techniques, reaction time, and so on, and also gained a deeper understanding of how much the 72 Roads of Knife Technique could enhance his own strength once it reached small success.

  Although he was now only at the early stage of the third layer of his acquired state, he had confidence in surpassing those who were at the early stage of the fourth layer.

  That's the benefit of improving your martial skills!

  A person's martial arts strength is originally composed of two parts: internal power and martial skills.

  Let's go to Zhongxi Peak now, this time the martial arts training at Yingxia Peak has been successfully completed.

  The harvest is great! This harvest includes the spoils of war in the sack, as well as some combat experience.

  Of course, the greatest gain is still one's own current extraordinary talent.

  The ancient super with greatly enhanced combat power now only wants to find someone to have a fierce and satisfying battle.

  Draw your long sword and tell me who is your opponent!

  Of course, Gu Chao understood in his heart that with his current strength, it was still impossible to rank among the top in Xin Xue Mountain Villa. This was just the starting point for his progress in martial arts, and the road ahead would be even longer!

  But that's what makes it challenging and interesting!

  Let's start a wonderful story now. Update time: one update in the morning and another around 12 pm at night.
