"No one tells you not to use footwork, but your footwork should be used to fight and defeat the enemy better, not to escape."

Zhang Hao taught: "Since you are so fast, you can quickly fight around Guo Chong. Once Guo Chong cannot keep up with your rhythm, he will be beaten by you and will be completely defeated."

Guo Chong couldn't help it anymore and said loudly: "His footwork is weird. In terms of speed, he may not be as fast as me."

"When adults speak, children should stop interrupting."

Tian Xiaoyu ignored Guo Chong and asked Zhang Hao: "Teacher Zhang, do you mean to let me practice the art of sharp swords?"

Guo Chong was so angry that you are only a child, and your whole family is a child!

Zhang Hao ignored Guo Chong. He nodded and asked, "Yes, Xiaoyu, how many days have you been practicing your new footwork?"

Tian Xiaoyu said: "About ten days, I am quite talented in this area."

"Is it possible to achieve such a state in ten days?"

Zhang Hao was a little surprised. He said: "This is more than just talent, this is very talented. It seems that you have a bright future in Qinggong. In this case, I solemnly recommend that you practice fast swords or double swords!"

"Dual swords?"

Tian Xiaoyu frowned, feeling something was wrong.

"Yes, double swords. Double swords are not as powerful and explosive as single swords, but they are faster and more dexterous. They are just right for you."

Zhang Hao nodded and said: "I have seen before that you can use hidden weapons with both hands, which means you are suitable for using dual weapons. Xiaoyu, you might as well consider my suggestion carefully. Of course, you can decide for yourself whether you want to choose dual swords.

."

"Double swords?"

Tian Xiaoyu nodded. What Zhang Hao said made sense, but he always felt that something was wrong. Hey, wait a minute, double swords, good at light skills, surnamed Tian... Oh, Mr. Zhang, you have a grudge against me, a blood feud, right?

What kind of advice is this? I have no plans to become a eunuch!

Tian Xiaoyu felt a chill down there. He glanced at Zhang Hao speechlessly. Zhang Hao was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Tian Xiaoyu asked hesitantly: "It's nothing. Teacher Zhang, your suggestion is very good, but is it too late to change weapons now? There will be a big exam in about ten days."

"Your goal is not the big exam, it's next year's autumn exam!"

Zhang Hao shook his head and said: "In addition, you are a swordsman. With your talent, more than ten days are enough for you to switch to double swords. Of course, a lot of practice and actual combat are definitely indispensable."

"In that case, I'll change to a pair of swords."

Tian Xiaoyu decisively agreed. Although the shape of the double swords looked too much like someone else, he could not give up the double swords just because of this. Anyway, no one in the world knew about it and no one would laugh at him.

Rather than being embarrassed, Tian Xiaoyu cares more about practice time. Maybe it’s time to give up work in the infirmary, which takes up too much time.

"Okay, let's continue!"

Zhang Hao nodded with satisfaction, took out two wooden knives from his waist and threw them to Tian Xiaoyu.

"Teacher, you have been prepared!"

Tian Xiaoyu caught two wooden knives. These two wooden knives were shorter than normal long knives, only fifty or sixty centimeters. In addition, they were both straight-edged knives!

Tian Xiaoyu held two swords in his hand and waved them around. He felt quite comfortable. It seemed that he was indeed suitable for two swords.

"It is easier to carry two knives. If you have time, go to a blacksmith to make a pair of two knives to carry with you. This way you don't have to worry about running out of weapons in a critical moment."

Zhang Hao said: "Okay, now I will teach you some skills on the use of double swords. You can write them down and then practice sparring with Guo Chong."

Guo Chong secretly curled his lips, but did not object. Although he cared about the outcome with Tian Xiaoyu, he would not engage in any conspiracy because of it.

"Yes, Teacher Zhang."

Tian Xiaoyu nodded solemnly, and Zhang Hao stopped talking nonsense and began to teach: "When using dual swords, the first step is to prioritize. People cannot do two things at once, so they must prioritize, one primary and one auxiliary. In addition, if you want to

There is no shortcut to mastering the dual swords, you must practice more and make the dual swords into a skill..."

"One master and one auxiliary, practice your abilities..."

Tian Xiaoyu kept Zhang Hao's words in mind. In fact, double swords are not complicated and have many similarities with single swords. He already had the basics of single swords. Under Zhang Hao's guidance, he soon had a decent skill.

Got up.

Zhang Hao asked Tian Xiaoyu to practice a few times, nodded and said: "Okay, I've left the basic skills to you. Next, all you have to do is practice more and fight more."

"Thank you, Teacher Zhang."

Tian Xiaoyu said gratefully, Zhang Hao obviously gave him a little extra care today.

This is the case in the preparatory academy. If you perform well, the teacher will do their best to train you. On the other hand, if you perform poorly, the teacher will ignore you at all.

"Work hard yourself!"

Zhang Hao didn't say much and turned around to instruct other students. Tian Xiaoyu waved her double swords and said to Guo Chong: "Squad leader, come on, tremble under my double swords!"

"Then it's coming!"

Guo Chong, who had been holding back his anger for a long time, rushed over immediately. A moment later, Tian Xiaoyu's screams rang out on the playground.

In the dean's office, Manager Han, who came here to ask for help, looked at the situation on the playground and said with a smile: "Old Huang, your students have been trained well! One is motivated and courageous, and the other is calm and loyal. They are both commendable.

Create talent.”

"It's okay, it's okay. I'll make you laugh, Manager Han."

Dean Huang looks humble on the surface, but in fact his old face is already smiling.

Manager Han said: "Those two are included. I'll have them come to the Yamen in a few days to help me investigate."

Dean Huang was a little puzzled: "Manager Han, that's just a simple investigation, there's no need to specifically select outstanding students, right?"

"The better the students, the less likely they are to be members of the Demon Sect, because they will not be stupid enough to destroy their own future."

Manager Han smiled and said: "Old Huang, if you are worried that this will affect their studies, then let them rotate. In addition, if they come to help, the Yamen will give them wages."

Dean Huang thought for a while, nodded and said: "Rotation? That's okay. I'm afraid this matter will delay a lot of time."

"It is indeed a troublesome matter. I hope it will end as soon as possible!"

Manager Han shook his head and said: "Okay, Lao Huang, it's settled, you will arrange for them to come over tomorrow, time waits for no one."

Dean Huang nodded: "Okay, I will arrange it."

…

In the infirmary, Tian Xiaoyu, who was covered in injuries, was rubbing medicinal wine on himself and cursing: "Damn Guo Chong, you actually beat me hard while I was just practicing the double sword. When I finish practicing the double sword, I will make him look good."

"Who asked you to switch to double sword training midway?"

Doctor Li sneered and asked, "I heard that you have learned some advanced footwork, right?"

Tian Xiaoyu nodded and said proudly: "Yes, the one given to me by Master Peng is named Zhou Tianbu!"

Doctor Li was stunned and asked in astonishment: "Zhou Tianbu, have you mastered Zhou Tianbu?"

Tian Xiaoyu was puzzled: "Yes, it took more than ten days to practice. Doctor Li, what's wrong?"

"It takes more than ten days to complete it? How is this possible? Even if you have strong mental strength, there is no reason why you can become like this so quickly. How talented is this kid?"

Doctor Li glanced at Tian Xiaoyu with a strange look and said: "Zhou Tianbu's footwork can be redeemed at Nanyun Martial Arts Academy, but there are only a few people who can practice it. As far as I know, even Peng Zhong himself has not practiced it.

Okay, you can actually practice in ten days, is it true?"

Tian Xiaoyu said calmly: "Of course it's true. It's not too difficult. It's just one hundred and eight steps. You can do it with some practice."

"You can do it just by practicing? If you say this in Nanyun Martial Arts Academy, there will definitely be many people who want to beat you up."

Doctor Li snorted and became more and more displeased with Tian Xiaoyu. He said, "By the way, is there something wrong between you and Peng Zhong? He actually taught you a footwork that he doesn't even know?"

"This shows that he thinks highly of me and has high hopes for me!"

Tian Xiaoyu looked sideways at Dr. Li and said, "Unlike someone, who obviously passed the test but didn't teach me martial arts. It's really a waste of time."

"Who stipulates that if you pass the test, you must teach martial arts? If you ask a girl to meet, and she agrees, she will marry you?"

Doctor Li looked disdainful and said: "In fact, you took advantage of it by kneeling down. You just don't know it."

"You think I will believe it?"

Tian Xiaoyu said: "It's better to be Master Peng. By the way, he also said that he would help me find the secret book of flying knives. Once I find it, I will immediately modify the flying knives."

Dr. Li's eyes suddenly opened wide and he shouted angrily: "That guy wants to help you find the secret to flying knives? Does he want to die?"

"What's wrong with him helping me find tips on throwing knives? I've long said that I would change to flying knives."

Tian Xiaoyu put down the medicinal wine in his hand and said: "Okay, I'm going to make medicine. By the way, Dr. Li, have you purchased the datura flowers I want?"

Doctor Li asked: "Datura is a poisonous flower, what are you doing here?"

"Poison flowers are of course used to make poison."

Tian Xiaoyu said matter-of-factly: "I plan to quench the poison on the flying needles, which can solve the problem of insufficient lethality of the flying needles. The poison of the Datura flower can paralyze the whole body, which is quite good."

"You want to quench poison on the flying needle?"

Dr. Li's face turned ugly, and he actually wanted to quench poison on the flying needle. Their lineage has never done such a shameful thing. If this spreads out, won't they be laughed to death by their colleagues?

"yes!"

Tian Xiaoyu didn't notice Dr. Li's expression, and he said: "By the way, Dr. Li, how can we keep the toxins on the flying needle for a long time? Generally speaking, the toxins will dissipate quickly, and you can't just dip a little before each use.

Right? That’s so troublesome!”

Dr. Li couldn't help it anymore and shouted: "If you dare to quench poison on the flying needle, I will expel you from the practice!"

Tian Xiaoyu was stunned: "Expelled from the master's sect? I said, Doctor Li, is an apprentice also considered a master's sect?"

Dr. Li was stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered that he had not taken Tian Xiaoyu as his disciple at all. He coughed and said, "Why don't you count it? If you dare to quench the poison in the flying needle, I will kick you out of the infirmary!"

Tian Xiaoyu was a little dissatisfied: "Doctor Li, are you going too far? I have the freedom to quench the poison or not!"

Doctor Li found an excuse and said coldly: "If you add poison to the weapons, it will affect the reputation of the medical office. How can I keep you here?"

"That makes sense."

Tian Xiaoyu hesitated, should he leave the infirmary?

Tian Xiaoyu came to the infirmary for two main purposes. One is to obtain pharmaceutical materials. However, during this period, he has accumulated a lot of medicinal materials by picking up garbage, which will be enough for a period of time. Moreover, after the big exam, he will get the key points of the academy.

Culture, and drugs should not be a problem by then.

In addition, Tian Xiaoyu also has ten taels of silver from the Yamen, so he is not short of money for the time being.

Another purpose is to learn how to prepare medicines. He has already learned this and has prepared many medicines for himself.

In other words, Tian Xiaoyu can leave the infirmary now. In fact, he had this idea before because he needs a lot of time to practice, and the work in the infirmary will take up a lot of his time!

Being an apprentice is naturally not easy. In addition, there is one more thing I have to mention: there is no salary for this job!

"But there are also benefits to staying in the infirmary, such as the exercises in the portrait of the ancestor."

Tian Xiaoyu secretly thought that if he stayed in the infirmary, he would have a good chance of inheriting the skills in the portrait. The premise was that he could serve Dr. Li well and treat him like his own father.

"Serve Dr. Li?"

Tian Xiaoyu had a look of disgust on his face. The old man's bad temper could be smelled ten miles away. It would be even harder to serve him well than to reach the sky.

Tian Xiaoyu made a decision quickly and said: "Doctor Li, if that's the case, then I'll leave."

Doctor Li was stunned: "You want to leave?"

"Yes, in fact, I originally planned to leave the medical office. After the college entrance examination, I will leave school for internship, and I will no longer be able to take care of the work in the medical office."

Tian Xiaoyu said, to be honest, if it were not for the presence of Nanyun Martial Arts School, he might not have left so decisively. You must know that in the traditional martial arts world, it is not easy to obtain a martial arts secret book. It requires a lot of effort.

cost.

But the Dawu Empire is different. There are thousands of martial arts in Nanyun Martial Arts Academy. As long as you are a student of the academy and have points, you can redeem them. It is very open and free.

The reason why the Martial Arts Academy eliminated those sects was because of this advanced system!

With the existence of such a martial arts academy, Tian Xiaoyu naturally does not have to work hard for Dr. Li, let alone endure his bad temper. This is called freedom of martial arts.

"Leave if you want, who will keep you?"

Doctor Li said coldly, young people nowadays are really impatient, huh, you missed the opportunity, you can't blame me.

"Thank you Dr. Li for your guidance during this time!"

Tian Xiaoyu bowed respectfully, then took off his apprentice's coat and placed it on the table.

Dr. Li waved his hand impatiently: "Go away, what are you still doing standing there?"

"Of course I'm shopping, Dr. Li, your service attitude is not acceptable today!"

Tian Xiaoyu said: "Bring me ten portions of datura flower powder, and also give me two portions of energy stone powder."

Doctor Li was a little speechless. He looked at Tian Xiaoyu and said, "Okay, the price will be doubled."

Tian Xiaoyu said angrily: "Why double the price? Doctor Li, you have to be kind. It was fine if you didn't give a discount before, but now you want me to double the price?"

Dr. Li snorted coldly: "I'm happy to do it. Do you want to buy it? If not, the price will be doubled after a while."

"Then...of course I won't buy it. Do you think you are the only pharmacy in Caishi County?"

Tian Xiaoyu rolled his eyes and turned to leave the infirmary. Doctor Li snorted and did not stop him. However, when Tian Xiaoyu left completely, he couldn't help but sigh - the free employee is gone, and the genius apprentice is gone.

.

"Forget it, just pretend it's no chance. At least you don't have to worry about it anymore. You can't ask me to beg him to come back, right?"
