NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 6: Eight Steps to Chase the Cicada, Eight Desolate Palms
Chapter 6:
[Task: Discuss with Lin Xia. Reward: A bottle of second-grade Qi and Blood Pill. Completed, do you want to claim it?]
"I won't accept it!"
Hearing the system prompt sound and knowing that Lin Xia was there, Lin Yun refused to claim it and waited until he got home to get it out.
"Brother Lin Yun, you have mastered two martial arts. You are very talented in martial arts. Let's go. I will take you to the martial arts hall."
Lin Xia said happily.
After a while, the two arrived at the martial arts hall.
Before entering the martial arts hall, Lin Yun also tried to set up tasks.
[Task: Obtain a martial art of body movement. Reward: A pair of iron shoes capable of bearing 100 kilograms of weight.]
[Task: Obtain a second-grade martial art. Reward: A second-grade marrow cleansing pill.]
"It actually worked!" Lin Yun was secretly delighted and silently gave the system a thumbs up.
The guards at the entrance of the martial arts hall all knew Lin Xia. After a brief exchange, they agreed to let Lin Xia take Lin Yun in.
As you step into the martial arts hall, a scent of books hits you in the face. The hall is quite large, with a number of mahogany shelves crisscrossing across it, and the shelves are filled with numerous martial arts books.
This was not the first time Lin Yun came in.
But before that, it was all in the first-grade martial arts area.
"Come on, let's just choose from the second-grade martial arts."
Lin Xia pulled Lin Yun forward, passed the rows of mahogany racks in front, and came to the area of second-grade martial arts.
Compared with first-grade martial arts, the number of second-grade martial arts has been sharply reduced, with only three or four bookshelves and about a hundred books.
Lin Yun first looked for martial arts that involved body movements, which had a very small range.
"The Wandering Dragon Technique, a second-grade martial art..."
"Ling Feng Bu, a second-grade martial art..."
"Eight Steps to Chase the Cicada, a second-grade martial art..."
I have read about a dozen martial arts books on body movements, some of which focus on bursts of speed, while others focus on flexibility and agility.
Lin Yun finally made a choice. He chose "Catching the Cicada in Eight Steps", which means to catch up with a flying cicada within eight steps.
This is an extremely powerful martial art that emphasizes lightness and agility, combining flexibility and speed, as well as explosiveness.
"Brother Lin Yun, although this martial art is only of the second grade, it is also one of the best among the second grades. After mastering it, the speed is almost comparable to that of the third grade martial arts. The reason why it was not selected as the third grade is mainly because this martial art is very difficult to practice. It has very high requirements on the body. It requires the coordination of the limbs to reach a certain level before it can be practiced to perfection. No one in the clan has mastered this martial art for a long time. Are you sure you want to choose it?"
Lin Xia persuaded him, saying that she often came to the martial arts hall to read books and had a relatively good understanding of most martial arts, and immediately pointed out the disadvantages of the Eight-Step Chasing Cicada.
"Let me try it. If it doesn't work, I'll change it. Then I'll trouble Sister Lin Xia to make another trip." Lin Yun said jokingly.
Lin Xia said, "It doesn't matter if I run or not. We are all in the clan anyway. It's just a matter of a few steps. It's mainly you. Forget it. You have a high talent for martial arts, so it's okay for you to try."
After choosing the physical martial arts he wanted, Lin Dong followed Lin Xia's advice and chose a second-grade attacking martial art.
After some selection, Lin Yun chose the Eight Desolate Palm that Lin Hongxue had learned before.
This martial art is quite popular in the Lin family, and many people practice it. Lin Hong specializes in this palm technique, and Lin Dong will also practice it later.
Lin Yun also had some evil tastes and wanted to join in the fun and see who had the stronger cultivation.
Of course, this palm technique is also very suitable for Lin Yun. As they are both hand skills, Lin Yun has the foundation of two boxing techniques. In addition, the Eight Desolate Palm is known for its fierceness and wide opening and closing, which is similar to the Falling Rock Fist. It will be easier for him to practice.
After leaving the martial arts hall, Lin Yun and Lin Xia parted ways.
…
[Task: Discuss with Lin Xia. Reward: One bottle of second-grade Qi and Blood Pill. Completed. Do you want to claim it?]
[Task: Obtain a martial art of body movement. Reward: A pair of iron shoes that can bear 100 kilograms of weight. Completed, do you want to claim it?]
[Task: Obtain a second-grade martial art. Reward: A second-grade cleansing marrow pill. Completed, do you want to claim it?]
"receive!"
After returning to the quiet courtyard, Lin Yun received the reward immediately.
A bottle of second-grade Qi and Blood Pill, a second-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill, and a pair of iron shoes that can bear a hundred kilograms.
The Marrow Cleansing Pill is a milky white pill the size of a longan, exuding a fresh fragrance and being round and full. This pill has the effect of cleansing the meridians and marrow, and can improve physical fitness and enhance talent.
Lin Yun swallowed it directly and refined it.
As the medicinal power dissolved in his body, Lin Yun felt that impurities in his body were forced out.
After a while, a layer of black oily substance appeared on Lin Yun's body.
After taking a refreshing bath, Lin Yun began to create tasks and practice Eight Steps to Chase the Cicada and Tongbei Fist.
The iron shoes that can bear a hundred kilograms of weight are very suitable for practicing the Eight-Step Cicada Chasing Art. Generally, people who practice light skills will choose to practice with weights.
Just imagine, if Lin Yun practices wearing this pair of shoes, and when he has mastered the Eight Steps to Chase the Cicada, and then takes off the shoes, how fast will he be?
One month later!
In the yard, Lin Yun opened his palm, and a cicada flew out desperately from his palm, flapping its wings at a high frequency. In a flash, it flew dozens of meters away and was about to jump over the wall to escape.
Lin Yun smiled slightly and let the cicada fly for three seconds.
Three seconds later, Lin Yun moved his legs. The hundred-pound iron shoes had no effect on him. His figure almost turned into a shadow. He touched the ground with his toes, rubbed the wall, and jumped lightly. He came to the wall, stretched out his hand, and grabbed Fei Chan.
The cicada lay directly in Lin Yun's hand, motionless.
He caught this cicada to practice the Eight Steps to Chase Cicadas. He released it and caught it again and again hundreds of times. At this moment, he has no desire to live. [Task: Practice the Eight Steps to Chase Cicadas 10 times. Reward: +1 to the minor proficiency of the Eight Steps to Chase Cicadas. Completed. Do you want to claim it?]
"receive!"
[Task: Practice the Eight Steps to Chasing Cicadas to perfection. Reward: A bottle of second-grade vitality pill.]
"receive!"
[Yuanqi Pill: A pill made from the energies of heaven and earth, which can enhance Yuan power. ]
Lin Yun smiled with relief. After a month, he finally mastered the Eight Steps to Chasing Cicadas.
It is worthy of being a second-grade martial art. It takes much longer time than first-grade martial arts.
Mainly because it took me ten days to get started, but after I learned it, I practiced repeatedly to gain experience, and I achieved success in just five days.
Of course, during this period Lin Yun also practiced two boxing techniques and the Eight Desolate Palm.
The Eight Desolate Palm has been cultivated to a small level of success.
During this period, Lin Yun tried to establish proficiency entry and small success achievement type tasks, but found that the entry level and small success of a martial arts training could not meet the requirements of establishing the task.
Only when you have achieved great success in your practice can you create tasks.
However, the reward for achieving great success in second-grade martial arts is a second-grade elixir, which is on the same level as the reward for achieving perfection in first-grade martial arts.
It seems that if one cultivates the second-grade martial arts to perfection, the reward may be better, so Lin Yun set up the task on the spot.
[Task: Practice the Eight Steps to Chase the Cicada to perfection. Reward: Body Movement Talent (Elementary).]
[Task: Practice the Eight Desolate Palm to perfection. Reward: A bottle of second-grade vitality pill.]
[Task: Practice the Eight Desolate Palm to perfection. Reward: Palm Skill Talent (Elementary).]
"Just by achieving perfection, one can obtain talent rewards. It is worthy of being a second-grade martial art." Lin Yun exclaimed, and immediately prepared to strive for perfect proficiency in Eight Steps to Chase the Cicada and Eight Desolate Palms.
As for the already perfected Tongbeiquan, practice it first. To reach the perfection, it needs 10,000 times.
Lin Yun now has pills and food in his hands.
The monsters hunted before can be stored in the Qiankun bag for a long time, so there is no need to worry about food and resources in the short term.
He can practice in seclusion without any worries.
Twenty days later!
Lin Yun successfully practiced the Eight Steps to Chase the Cicada to perfection and gained the talent of basic body movement skills.
After receiving the reward, a strange energy merged into his body, as if breaking some shackles of his body. The acupuncture meridians in his limbs were unobstructed and the flow of Yuan Li was extremely smooth.
Practicing the Eight-Step Cicada Chasing Technique again felt much easier.
At the same time, Lin Yun also noticed that the task he established to practice the Eight-Step Cicada Chasing Task had also changed because he had acquired the talent for elementary body movements.
[Task: Practice the Eight Steps to Chase Cicadas 10,000 times (1/9000). Reward: Eight Steps to Chase Cicadas Perfection Proficiency +1.]
It originally required 10,000 repetitions to achieve full proficiency, but this was reduced to 9,000, 1,000 repetitions less.
This saved Lin Yun a lot of time.
It seems that the improvement of physical attributes and talents has a significant effect on the progress of cultivation.
This further stimulated Lin Yun's determination to acquire the talents of palm and boxing.
Lin Yun was like a chicken with its blood pumped up, immersed in the practice of Eight Desolate Palm and Tongbei Fist.
In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.
One day, someone came to visit him suddenly.
When I opened the door, it was Lin Xia.
"Sister Lin Xia, why are you here?" Lin Yun was a little surprised, because there were basically no guests coming to his yard.
Lin Xia said, "I heard that you haven't left the house since you got the Eight Steps to Chase the Cicada last time, so I came to see how your training is going. Why don't you invite me in to sit down with you?"
"Oh, please come in, Sister Lin Xia." Lin Yun quickly welcomed her in.
Lin Xia looked at the environment in Lin Yun's yard curiously. This was her first time to come to Lin Yun's house. The yard was very clean, but also very simple. Apart from tables and chairs, there were no sundries or furniture.
There were only water cups and towels on the table in the yard.
Lin Xia was holding a few bags in her hands. She put the things on the table, picked up a towel and handed it to Lin Yun.
"You are sweating all over. You must have been practicing martial arts just now. Wipe it off first."
Lin Xia said with some concern.
"I brought you some food. For people who practice martial arts, Qi and blood are very important. You should make sure to replenish your body. If you keep practicing, you will easily overdraw your energy, which is not good for your health. If you need anything, you can tell me. You're welcome."
She looked at Lin Yun's figure. Lin Yun used to be thin, but now he looks pretty good. Although he is not very strong, his muscles are evenly distributed, with clear lines, and he looks very capable.
"Thank you, Sister Lin Xia. I will pay attention. Don't worry, I have a solid foundation." Lin Yun said with a naive smile.
"Really? Then let me test how strong your foundation is." Lin Xia said with a smile.
Then she got ready for another fight with Lin Yun.
