The first master to pass the level was a black-haired young man with his hair tied into a neat ponytail. He was taciturn and didn't speak a word, but his hands and feet moved very quickly.
In an instant, he had defeated the gatekeeper and rushed towards the mountain road behind him like lightning. His legs almost blurred into a shadow, raising a trail of dust behind him.
It is obvious that this person is very good at light work.
The second person to pass the checkpoint was Wu Rulong. With a simple thrust of his spear, he unexpectedly arrived first and accurately hit the gatekeeper's spear tip, sending the gatekeeper flying.
However, no matter how dazzling or powerful these two people are, they are not as vicious as Wuchang's mouth.
Now almost everyone's eyes were focused on Wuchang and the gatekeeper in front of him. Even the first two people who quickly broke through the gate were ignored.
This made the middle-aged guarding the gate look even uglier, and he growled:
"Oh, then I will learn from your skill!"
He took a step forward, and the spear in his hand was like a dragon, stabbing straight at Wuchang who was standing still.
The next moment.
He intuitively felt an irresistible force coming from his gun, and he was knocked over. After a series of earth-shaking movements, he was lying on the ground.
"I... lost?"
The middle-aged man guarding the pass was stunned.
He didn't see the other person's movements clearly, but he knew that the little girl moved very quickly and with great strength.
As for his shooting skills, he wasn't really sure... because he lost too quickly.
He stood up again in a daze, watching the little girl straighten the bent iron spear in her hand and walk towards the mountain road behind him.
He is now filled with regret.
Damn it, she got it.
Chapter 287: The Art of the Spear Master (4k
The cat demon Wuchang climbed up the stairs and continued to climb upwards.
She was not the fastest to pass the checkpoint, there were still two people ahead of her.
The fastest young man among them had his feet almost blurred into a shadow, and his leg movements could no longer be seen clearly.
At first glance, it doesn't look like a fast run at all, but more like a big bird flying low over the ground.
"What a great skill." Zhao Hu couldn't help but admire:
"This person is not only excellent in Qinggong, but also very fast in attack. He is truly a young talent."
Although what Zhao Hu is looking for is a spearman who can inherit the "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" spear.
But if the other party is too good, then it is not impossible to pass the "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" to him.
Qiao Mu stared at the man's steps, seeming to be thinking about something.
Ordinary people couldn't see the man's movements clearly, but he could, and he was quite familiar with them.
The opponent's lightness skill... is obviously the best lightness skill in the world, the Eight Steps of the Heavenly Dragon.
He looked like a young man in his twenties, but his attainment in the Eight Steps of the Heavenly Dragon was already quite high, which even made Qiao Mu look at him with awe.
"Could it be someone from Wu Ji Hui?" Qiao Mu pondered.
The Eight Steps of the Demi-God is a super-level light skill, known for its extremely high difficulty.
He had fought briefly with Wu Qiankun before. Even Wu Qiankun, the number one person under the Martial Saint, had not mastered the Eight Steps of the Heavenly Dragon, but used the "Supreme Transformation" instead.
And this young man with a ponytail and excellent martial arts skills is obviously not a simple person.
At this time, the demon cat Wuchang had already reached the middle of the mountain road.
Standing in front of her was a burly man over two meters tall with a leopard head and round eyes.
This big man was broad and strong, with a conspicuous leopard head. He was a half-demon in Xishan Village.
The former Spear Saint had an excellent reputation and was known for his kindness. Born in Southwest Province, he even adopted half-demons led by "Qing Li".
Although the Spear Saint has passed away, in addition to the Zhao clan members, there are indeed some half-demons living in Xishan Village.
"Among the disciples of the Spear Saint, there are many half-demons with strong bodies and great strength." The leopard-headed, round-eyed man said in a deep voice:
"And his 'Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix' Spear also requires at least two thousand kilograms of strength to perform."
"So this second level is about physical strength----"
Before he could finish his words, the leopard-headed, round-eyed man felt a flash before his eyes, and his wrists were pinned down by Wuchang, like iron hoops, making it difficult to break free.
The two-meter-tall man's face suddenly turned red, his teeth were bared, and his muscles bulged, but he was defeated little by little in front of the slender Wuchang.
The two-meter-tall half-demon had his hands held down by Wuchang at this time and had no power to fight back.
Finally, he fell on his butt, gasping for breath and slowly got up.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" The big man with the leopard head and round eyes opened his eyes and said:
"I said this level is a test of strength, not a competition with me."
The leopard-headed, round-eyed man pointed to a few huge rocks beside the mountain road and spread his hands helplessly:
"For this level, you will pass as long as you can lift this 2,000-jin boulder. I'm not asking you to compete with me."
"Forget it, forget it, little girl, you don't have to lift it, just go up."
The big man with the leopard head and round eyes was helpless.
Two thousand kilograms has exceeded the upper limit of the physical strength of a fourth-grade warrior.
Therefore, those who can lift a 2,000-jin stone must either be gifted and have taken rare treasures, or have learned some top-notch external skills and gradually increased their strength through years of training.
As a half-demon who inherited the blood of the demon race, his own strength naturally far exceeds this number, and also far exceeds the so-called soft limit of the human body.
This little girl is much stronger than him, so the result is obvious.
"Is he also a half-demon? Inherited the blood of the demon clan? I wonder which great demon he is the descendant of. He is so fierce." The big man with a leopard head and round eyes shook his head.
Half-demon
Zhao Hu looked back at Qiao Mu thoughtfully.
"The Zhou family is truly a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers." He sighed:
"Although this little girl is very strong, as a half-demon, she is not very suitable for the "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear". It will be difficult for her to cultivate internal strength, right?"
Most of the half-demons in this world find it difficult to practice the martial arts of pure-blooded humans and develop internal strength because their body structures and meridians are different from those of ordinary people.
The strength of half-demons is often far beyond that of ordinary people, and although human warriors may not be as strong, they have internal strength.
A martial artist's internal energy can be released in mid-air, and the energy can penetrate the body and have greater destructive power. However, once the internal energy is exhausted, it will take a long time of meditation to recover.
Body muscle strength means greater endurance and faster recovery.
Qiao Mu walked along the way, relying on the internal energy bursts that were several times greater than the disintegration of the demon, and repeatedly overwhelmed others with force.
"You're wrong, she's not a half-demon." Qiao Mu said casually as he read the booklet in his hand.
The booklet in his hand was a small gift prepared by Zhao Hu, containing the martial arts experience of the Spear Master in his later years.
It also briefly describes the life of the Spear Saint, saying that in his prime he was invincible with a long spear and the move "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix". When he was forty years old, his spear skills reached their peak and he was already the best in the world.
However, he had not been the number one in the world for two years when he ran into the Exiled Sword Immortal.
After being defeated by Jian Zexian's Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique, the Spear Saint was not discouraged. Instead, he took Da Zhe as his master and regarded Jian Zexian as his formidable rival.
After sitting on the top of West Mountain for ten years, he finally imitated the "Heaven-Sword-Drawing Technique" of the Exiled Immortal Jian Ze and created a new killer move, "Jingwei Filling the Sea".
The Gun Saint's Experience states:
"The Sword Exiled Immortal may seem out of touch, but he is actually a man with lofty ambitions."
"His Heaven-Slashing Sword Technique is to cut off one's own retreat. Once the sword is out, I am invincible. I place all my energy and spirit into the sword."
"And my ultimate move, 'Jingwei Filling the Sea', is inspired by the myth of Jingwei filling the sea, a symbol of loyalty until death."
The Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique is a sword move that cuts off one's own retreat and uses all one's strength.
As for Jingwei filling the sea, she never regretted her decision and remained loyal to it until her death.
"When she was forty, the old lady was invincible and had never been defeated. She was given the title of Spear Saint by martial artists all over the world and was the leader of martial arts in the world."
"At the age of forty-two, I was defeated miserably by Jian Zexian. All the honors I had in the first half of my life became Jian Zexian's stepping stones. From then on, I became the second best in the world."
"When I was forty-five, the Alien War broke out. I secretly challenged the Yunxiao Sect's Alien Yushan and was defeated miserably, nearly dying."
"From that day on, I realized that human power is limited."
"The number of immortal cultivators in this world is as vast as the ocean, beyond human reach. Even if you spend your entire life trying, you can't even slightly shake it."
"I have been sitting on the top of West Mountain for ten years, devoting my entire life to the exploration of martial arts."
"After ten years, the ultimate move 'Jingwei Filling the Sea' was finally developed."
“But until the end, I was unable to surpass Jian Zexian’s peak sword strike.”
"Jingwei filled the sea, and remained faithful until death. Although I could not reach the sea, I was willing to give my all."
"I will go to the appointment and fight to the death with the martial saint and other outstanding people of the world whom I haven't seen for ten years. I think it will be a life-and-death struggle."
"Leave this copy for posterity."
This martial arts experience is not a martial arts secret book.
The first half is the Gun Master's self-narration of his life.
The second half is the personal exploration of the gun master's skills and martial arts in his later years.
But as he read the handwriting above, Qiao Mu couldn't help but feel a little fascinated by the Gun Saint.
This gun master was indeed born at the wrong time.
In front was the banished immortal swordsman, behind was the martial saint, and it just so happened that a strange man appeared in the world to interfere in politics.
He was a leader in martial arts, but all his fame and honor were snatched away by Jian Zexian.
Moreover, because the Gun Master was the "number one in the world" for too short a time, the title was taken away by the Sword Exiled Immortal in just two years.
Therefore, his title as the leader in martial arts was considered somewhat undeserved and lacked substance by the world, and later he was only called the second best in the world.
After becoming the best in the world and invincible, this gun master experienced three tragic defeats.
The first defeat was the exiled immortal Jian Ze, the second defeat was the strange man Yu Shan.
After sitting in meditation for ten years and coming up with the killer move "Jingwei Filling the Sea", he met the Martial Saint who had been practicing the Martial Spirit Rhinoceros Secret for ten years.
Not only was he unable to counterattack, he was also killed.
It is really a pity.
"If the Spear Saint were born in this era of modern martial arts, I think he would have achieved greater success." Qiao Mu felt a little regretful.
He flipped through the booklet in his hand and glanced over the martial arts skills and insights at the back.
At this time, Zhao Hu had already led them to the top of West Mountain.
There is a relatively flat open space on the top of the mountain, which was the training ground for the former spear master.
On one side of the martial arts training ground, there stands a large stone with traces of carved patterns on it.
Qiao Mu looked closely and saw that the stone sculpture was a picture of a flying bird holding a stone in its beak and flapping its wings towards the sea.
"Jingwei Filling the Sea? This spear master said that in his later years he let go of his pride as a strong man and took the sword exiled immortal as his teacher. It's true. He even learned the stone carving skills."
Qiao Mu burst out laughing.
But in the final analysis, this Spear Saint has a broad mind. He himself is also a top martial arts expert. After suffering a crushing defeat, he was able to put aside his pride and take the Sword Exiled Immortal as his master.
He was not even afraid of being ridiculed by future generations and even recorded the incident.
Ding ding ding.
At this time, a member of the Zhao clan rang the bronze bell on the top of the mountain, diverting Qiao Mu's attention from the booklet.
Looking back, I found that Wuchang had passed three levels and reached the top of the mountain.
In addition to her, Wu Rulong and the young man with black hair and ponytail also reached the top of the mountain.
At first glance, they all have extraordinary temperament and are not ordinary people.
