After staying at home for a few days, on the 20th of July, Yang Tian brought the Little Blue Dragon to Tian Wei Dojo to report.
Because Yang Tian was a Rank 2 Martialist and was very young, only eighteen years old, the Dojo attached great importance to him and gave Yang Tian a private suite.
In the Dojo's training field, Yang Tian finally met Liu Xiao and Zhou Feng. The two women were around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old and were rare beauties with hot figures. Moreover, they were both Rank 2 Martialists.
Among Martialists, the ratio of men to women was imbalanced. The ratio was ten to two, which meant that only two out of ten Martialists were women.
In the Dojo, the two women naturally received the favor of countless male Martialists. Zhao Wu told Yang Tian that the two women both liked Xiao Fei. Although they were in a competitive state, the relationship between the two women was very good.
After the two women saw Yang Tian, they asked Yang Tian to call them Big Sister.
Xiao Fei's team now had eight people including Yang Tian.
The eight of them already had a ranking. Xiao Fei looked very young, but he was already thirty-six years old and was the leader of the team. Zhou Feng was twenty-nine years old and ranked second. Liu Xiao was twenty-eight years old and ranked third. Then there was Wang Guang, Zhao Wu, Liu Jian, and Li Xuan.
Yang Tian was the youngest and ranked last. He was called Old Eight by his teammates.
Yang Tian would have to call Xiao Fei Big Brother, Zhou Feng Second Sister, Liu Xiao Third Sister, Wang Guang Fourth Brother, Zhao Wu Fifth Brother, Liu Jian Sixth Brother, and Li Xuan Seventh Brother.
Yang Tian joked and called Liu Xiao and Zhou Feng Third Sister Liu and Sister Feng. He was punched by the two women and could only call them Third Sister and Second Sister. Only then did the two women nod in satisfaction.
Yang Tian felt that his luck was really good. Not only did he get the Little Blue Dragon, but now he had joined a very humane team. In such a team, Yang Tian believed that the days ahead would be very exciting.
Over the next few days, the seven members of the team practiced their Martial Techniques under Xiao Fei's guidance, sparring with each other. Yang Tian felt that he had made great progress. In just a few days, he had cultivated the Breaking Shadow Saber Technique to its peak.
At this moment, Yang Tian felt that it was time for him to cultivate a higher level combat skill.
Xiao Fei had a wealth of battle experience, and his understanding of battle techniques had already surpassed Yang Tian and the other Level 1 or 2 Martial Artists.
Xiao Fei could tell that Yang Tian had an advantage in terms of speed, so he introduced Yang Tian to buy a set of blade techniques called 'Lightning' and a set of fist techniques called 'Collapsing Thunder' from the dojo.
Martial Artists didn't just specialize in one set of combat skills. Most of them would cultivate a type of combat skill that used weapons and a set of bare-handed combat skills.
After looking at the introduction of the two sets of combat skills, Yang Tian spent one million Martial Coins to buy the two sets of combat skills.
This was a special type of combat skill owned by the Tianwei Dojo. In the auxiliary equipment store, the price of each set of combat skills was as high as two million and five hundred thousand Martial Coins. However, in the dojo, it only cost five hundred thousand Martial Coins, which was much cheaper.
The dojo didn't forbid members from teaching combat skills to each other. However, every Martial Artist's situation was different. Some had great strength, so they would cultivate combat skills that could unleash their strength. Some used short sabers, so they would cultivate combat skills with short sabers.
The Lightning Saber Technique and the Collapsing Thunder Fist Technique were both Level 2 combat skills. They were the same as the Breaking Shadow Saber Technique that Yang Tian had bought before. Not only did they have moves, but they also had breathing techniques that could be used together with them.
In fact, the breathing technique was the most important part of every combat skill. When practicing, one had to use one's own thoughts to feel the aura within one's body.
This was similar to the cultivation of Qigong.
The cultivation of Qigong was based on the Dantian. However, the cultivation of Martial Artists didn't have the concept of the Dantian. It was purely about feeling the aura flowing within one's body.
The higher the level of a Martial Artist, the clearer they could feel the aura flowing within their body. In other words, it was a type of energy.
Martial Artists from Level 1 to Level 5 could only vaguely feel and control the aura. However, Martial Artists from Level 6 and above could control the aura at will. They found that by controlling the flow of the aura to a certain part of the body, the strength and speed of that part of the body would increase, and the resistance to attacks would also become stronger.
Regarding this type of aura, Martial Artists called it "Hidden Power".
After buying the two sets of combat skills, Yang Tian entered a small practice room in the dojo that was more than a hundred square meters.
This was a place that the dojo specially prepared for Martial Artists to practice alone.
Yang Tian entered the practice room number zero and turned on the auxiliary equipment to play the two sets of combat skills.
In the video, there was a masked man in black. He first talked about the breathing technique, and then the movements. In the process, he demonstrated and pointed out the essentials.
Yang Tian finished watching the two sets of combat skills in one go. First, he began to practice the Lightning Blade Technique.
This kind of practice room was confidential. There was no monitoring equipment inside. When Yang Tian began to practice, the Little Blue Dragon that was lying on his chest came out and jumped to the ground. It curiously watched Yang Tian practice.
"Exhale … Inhale … Exhale … Concentrate your mind on your chest. You will feel a vague force. Use your mind to touch it …"
Yang Tian began to practice according to the breathing technique.
Half an hour later, Yang Tian felt his whole body heat up. Suddenly, there was an aura in his body that was concentrated on his chest. He tried to control this aura to split it into two and flow it to his hands.
What Yang Tian did not expect was that he would be able to easily control this aura and split it between his hands.
Suddenly, Yang Tian opened his eyes.
At this time, Yang Tian didn't know if it was an illusion or if there was really an aura flowing in his body. He only felt that his hands were full of strength. He picked up the Tang Saber on his knees and began to practice according to the moves of the Lightning Blade Technique.
The Lightning Blade Technique was a blade technique that emphasized speed. It was similar to the Shadow Breaking Blade.
Yang Tian practiced for the first time. He finished practicing the entire set of moves. Looking at the time, it took him one and a half hours.
The second time, it took him one and a half hours.
…
After practicing the blade technique for half a day, Yang Tian began to practice the Thundercrash Fist Technique in the afternoon.
The breathing technique of this fist technique focused on concentrating the aura on the fists of both hands. This would make the fists harder.
At the end of the video, it was explained that after a Level 2 Martial Artist practiced the fist technique to the Great Completion Realm, one punch could break through a thick concrete wall.
Of course, this concrete wall didn't need steel bars.
A Level 2 Martial Artist's fist wasn't strong enough to break steel bars.
For the next half a month, Yang Tian practiced non-stop. He became more and more proficient in both the blade technique and the fist technique.
During this process, Yang Tian would take time out every two days to call Qin Fei or go home to accompany his parents.
Although he was far away from Qin Fei, Yang Tian felt that their relationship was getting closer. Sometimes, he would even dare to talk about some topics between men and women.
Yang Tian's parents, Yang Lin and Wang Hong, looked like they were ten years old in a short time after their bodies were strengthened. They looked like they were in their early thirties. Even the white hair on their heads had disappeared.
This was the effect of strengthening. It could make an ordinary person's body stronger and live longer.
As for Zhou Hao, he had been discharged from the hospital a few days ago. His family was living in the house that Yang Tian and the others used to live in. Because Zhou Hao had become an enhancer, Yang Tian found a chance to talk to Xiao Fei. Xiao Fei told the higher-ups and recruited Zhou Hao into the Tian Wei Martial Arts Dojo.
In the dojo, Zhou Hao was assigned to the student area because he wasn't a Martial Artist. He was taught by a Martial Artist. The dojo wouldn't give Zhou Hao special treatment because of his relationship.
The reason why Yang Tian could practice independently and use a separate training room was because Yang Tian was now a Level 2 Martial Artist. He was noticed by the higher-ups of the dojo. Naturally, he would be treated differently from ordinary Martial Artists.
The time to practice martial arts passed very quickly. Soon, it was July 31st.
In the separate training room, Yang Tian had just finished practicing his fist technique when the doorbell rang. Yang Tian opened the door and Zhao Wu appeared at the door.
"Fifth Brother," Yang Tian said with a smile as he let out a long sigh and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Zhao Wu looked at Yang Tian's sweaty body and said with a smile, "One's sweat, one's gain. Eighth Brother, you being able to become a Level 2 Martial Artist is indeed the result of hard work. Looks like I have to work hard too."
After Zhao Wu finished speaking, he continued, "Eighth Brother, get ready. Our team will set off tomorrow to train in the danger zone. We'll be there for five months."
"Okay!" Yang Tian said excitedly.
He had been looking forward to going out to train for a long time. Now, it was finally time.
A Martial Artist needed to constantly level up. It wasn't something that could be done just by practicing in the training room. Instead, it required a large amount of actual combat experience and constant battles with exotic beasts.
For Yang Tian, this was the perfect time. During this period of time, he had just finished practicing two sets of martial arts. It was time to test them out.
After tidying up, Yang Tian returned to his residence in the dojo. He changed out of his sweaty clothes, took a cold shower, and changed into a clean set of clothes.
Because he was going to be away for five months, Yang Tian returned home at night and had dinner with his parents.
When he returned to his residence, it was already ten at night.
Yang Tian gave Qin Fei a call and chatted for a while. In order not to worry Qin Fei, Yang Tian didn't mention anything about going out to train for five months.
After the call ended, Yang Tian was about to go to bed when the Little Blue Dragon jumped over and squeaked a few times at Yang Tian.
"What? Eat a Level 3 Beast Core?"
It turned out that the Little Blue Dragon had told Yang Tian to eat a Level 3 Beast Core.
