Chapter 422: Tempering True Steel

Wind and clouds surged in the courtyard.

Liang Qu only felt the strong wind hitting his face, the air boiling like boiling water, the white airflow rising violently, turning into a huge vortex, and a long knife more than ten zhang long, spanning the entire small courtyard, fell from the eye of the cloud!

Shadows flowed, covering, and an invisible sense of oppression filled every corner.

Black Tooth in the doghouse was as stable as Mount Tai. The little puppies that had just opened their eyes not long ago had their tails standing straight, howling and screaming, rushing out from all directions, falling and climbing back to the doghouse, curling into fluffy little coal balls.

Liang Qu realized that spring had passed, and Black Tooth had given birth to many puppies again this year.

His gaze fell back.

The long knife was condensed and not scattered, majestic, and dust flew on the ground.

"This is Master's True Steel?"

"Not bad, Great Pi Demon-Subduing Knife! It was passed down by General Wenzhu, and it is also my long spear!

A person is no more than a zhang tall, and the cultivation base is refined, but it can also send out more than ten zhang of steel wind. However, with the help of True Steel, connecting heaven and earth, it can send out more than a hundred zhang!"

Liang Qu stared at the "forty-meter big knife," his heart surging. His own Taiqing Dragon and White Ape were no more than a zhang tall, nowhere near as exaggerated. He immediately understood the meaning of the master's "True Steel is their long spear."

Big has big's goodness, small has small's benefit. Grass, trees, birds, beasts, and fish, all develop toward their advantages.

The wise are also the same.

Facing the naturally powerful physique of demon beasts, humans naturally envy them. If they envy them, just take them and imitate them!

If the neck is ten meters thick, use a forty-meter-long knife to chop it!

Relying on techniques and martial arts, the wise have many preparations!

It sounds quite unfair, but the world has no planner to make a balance.

The fierce tiger is big and fierce, and the wise can also be!

It is worthy of being a bankrupt version of the Law of Heaven and Earth!

Holding this long spear, dealing with those "unarmed" men at the Galloping Horse stage, isn't it crushing?

In the eyes of ordinary people, the hundred-zhang steel flow, destroying mountains and splitting rocks, is even more worthy of being regarded as a miracle!

"No wonder the Sturgeon Demon yearns for a human body."

The only time Liang Qu saw Yang Dongxiong make a move was against the Sturgeon Demon. Since then, he hadn't seen it with his own eyes when dealing with the Ghost Mother Sect.

Such a large "pond," a few knives down, the sword light crisscrossed for nearly a hundred zhang, dense like a woven net, cutting without cutting, forcing the Sturgeon Demon to change its shape and fight on the shore.

It's a pity that the practice didn't reach home, and it didn't touch either side.

In the courtyard, Yang Dongxiong grabbed it with his hand, and the long knife that was more than ten zhang long fell into his hand, turning into a long knife of normal size, white all over, like mutton-fat white jade.

Liang Qu stared at the long knife, feeling the sharpness that was imminent from the blade, and moved his gaze away.

Long-term viewing hurts the spirit.

"Before, you were Four Passes, Galloping Horse, taught by Hu Qi and Zishuai, which was enough. Now it's not. Zishuai, that kid, is probably not your opponent."

Liang Qu didn't refute, just laughed.

"That's why I let you come to the courtyard today, with the intention of letting you feel the true meaning of True Steel, know the key points, so that you can further condense and warm it."

While speaking, Yang Dongxiong stepped through the round gate and came to the pond.

In the pond, the minnows swam, flashing seven-colored scales.

The white jade knife in his hand swept lightly, brushing past the minnows that didn't have time to escape, bringing up a small white-bellied fish floating on the water on the spot.

Liang Qu squatted down and scooped up the small fish.

All over its body, there was no wound, but its gill covers no longer opened or closed. Breathing, holding it in his hand, there was no sign of life at all.

"Dead?"

Yang Dongxiong nodded: "Dead."

Liang Qu's eyes flashed, and he immediately understood the cause of death.

Scared to death!

Hunting Tiger Realm, blood energy surges like a tide, strength is stimulated, ordinary people look at it with awe like a weak rabbit meeting a fierce tiger, liver and gallbladder cracked.

Liver and gallbladder cracked, how can it live?

This is not a rhetorical device, but an objective description!

Good guy.

Wolf Smoke martial artists can collapse and kill ordinary people with a flick of a finger, Hunting Tiger goes a step further, no need to flick a finger, just by will, one look can kill!

Liang Qu threw down the small fish that had lost its vitality, watched it float on the water, and was chased and swallowed by other big fish, which was not considered a waste.

"Understand?"

"Understand."

Yang Dongxiong asked: "Then can you understand why the condensation of True Steel comes from martial arts, not from techniques?"

Liang Qu's brows furrowed slightly.

He was not a lazy thinker and had thought about this phenomenon.

The condensation of True Steel does not rely on techniques, but relies on martial arts, which is indeed very contrary to common sense and cognition.

According to reason, this ability that deeply affects the state of martial artists should be bound to techniques.

Thinking of Master Yang's act of killing fish...

"True Steel is condensed in the Great Realm of Wolf Smoke. The significant difference between Wolf Smoke and Galloping Horse is condensing pulses and building bridges, and spiritual will plays a certain role.

Disciple guesses, is True Steel condensation influenced by the strength of will? The key to connecting and interacting with heaven and earth needs to be dominated by will.

Techniques... too peaceful? Can't achieve the condensation effect? Conversely, martial arts need to have the heart of killing and destruction, and the will is firmer?"

"You have talent!" Yang Dongxiong praised, "Although there are discrepancies, they are roughly the same. The biggest difference between techniques and martial arts is that one is peaceful, and one is offensive! One is Dao, and one is Shu (Technique)! Let me ask you again, what is Dao? Why do people want to cultivate Dao?"

"What is Dao, disciple dare not answer. Why cultivate Dao, disciple privately thinks, is it to carry out one's own will?"

"How to solve it?"

Liang Qu spoke slowly, thinking while speaking.

"When disciple was young, I lost my parents, was not good at fishing, and had no ability to survive. Fortunately, I was helped by neighbors, and I picked up a life.

After that, I got the opportunity of treasure fish, and I didn't want to rely on this to marry a wife and live an ordinary life, so I paid to enter the martial arts hall to learn martial arts, get some skills to stand out, get rid of the shackles of a small boat, no longer rely on heaven to eat, and be hungry at every turn.

Most fishermen in Yixing Town actually have the same thoughts as disciple. Unfortunately, they have no money or food, no opportunities, and cannot realize their own thoughts, so they have to marry and have children, be busy and tired, and be trapped for a lifetime.

Disciple thinks, only by entering the Dao, cultivating the Dao, and obtaining the Dao, can one want to eat meat, eat meat, want to eat three hundred years of meat, then eat three hundred years of meat, and if you want to climb the mountain to see the snow today, sitting alone for a few days to listen to the snow is also fine."

"Good explanation!" Yang Dongxiong continued, "What is Dao, why seek Dao, there is no definite solution. Breaking free from shackles is good, and pursuing freedom is also good.

As you said, live as long as you want, eat whatever you want, this is the foundation of seeking Dao! It is for freedom and transcendence!

You practice "Ten Thousand Victories Holding Yuan," you should know its purpose best."

"Live comfortably, comfortably, and for a long time."

"Therefore, techniques are for seeking Dao, all emphasizing stability, and even if there are exceptions, they must be side-door left-path, very easy to go into devil.

This state of mind is too peaceful, how can it communicate with heaven and earth with a tenacious will and exert the power of True Steel?

To burst out power, we must rely on Shu! The technique of protecting Dao and killing life!"

Liang Qu bowed respectfully.

"Disciple understands."

The truth remains the same.

Killing is a process, not a result.

No one is born a martial arts fanatic. The purpose of cultivation is simply to be stronger than others and beat others.

True Steel belongs to Shu, born for protecting Dao, which is inconsistent with the pursuit of techniques, but corresponds to the pursuit process of martial arts.

Although there is much contention with people on the road of seeking Dao, Dao and Shu are almost one, but there is a difference in the end.

"Since the truth is here, do you want to understand how to temper the technique of True Steel?"

Yang Dongxiong circled such a big circle, talking about Dao, Shu, and will, just to point out the key.

Liang Qu thought for a moment: "Life and death fighting, will tempering?"

"Exactly! In the border, in troubled times, there are many heroes, many strong people, the key lies in this. With one knife and one gun on the battlefield, maybe you will lose your life tomorrow, so the progress is naturally rapid!"

Liang Qu understood.

However, speaking of will tempering, he suddenly thought of the Flood Dragon's malice underwater...

"Show me your two great True Steels."

"Yes."
