In the training room, two dragon men were fighting in close combat.
One with white scales and blue eyes, and one with red scales and orange eyes. The former is responsible for defense and the latter is for attack.
It was Long Meng and the dragon boy.
"Opportunity!" The dragon boy used a sliding shovel.
Long Meng jumped slightly and jumped to dodge.
The young dragon man used his tail hard on his back to provide strong support. This caused him to suddenly gain strength while sliding on the ground!
Long Meng's expression remained unchanged, and his palm struck like a knife, immediately making a sharp sound of wind.
The two of them were fighting in mid-air. Since neither of them used any fighting skills and had no focus, it became a struggle of their own strength.
Both sides are at the gold level. Long Meng's strength is not as good as that of Dragon Suit, but his skills are much superior.
Long Meng held the dragon boy's fists and feet, exerted force on his waist, and twisted his body, causing the dragon boy to lose his balance and fly away.
The dragon boy flew upside down for a distance, and as soon as he landed, he saw Long Meng charging straight towards him!
Long Meng turned from defense to offense, using his fists and feet in conjunction, a continuous strong wind hit his face, and the large hem of his clothes also erupted with a muffled sound.
The dragon boy's footing was unstable, and it became increasingly difficult to block.
He fought hard, using every part of his body to resist. However, the dragon's claws slashed and the dragon's teeth bitten, but they did not help him save the defeat.
boom.
There was a muffled sound.
Long Meng hit the dragon boy in the chest with his palm, knocking him away.
The young dragon man landed on his back, straightened his waist, and jumped up.
Fighting Skills - Dragon Ball.
He stretched out his right hand, opened the dragon's claws, and golden fighting energy spurted out from his palm. The fighting energy quickly condensed, forming a golden-red dragon ball.
The dragon ball rolled, causing the surrounding air temperature to rise rapidly.
But the next moment, the dragon boy snorted coldly, flicked his paw, and took the initiative to cancel the dragon ball fighting skills: "Humph, I promised not to use any fighting skills and to release my fighting spirit, I lost!"
Long Meng nodded and looked down at his training robe.
There was only one long tear on the robe, which was cut with the dragon's claw when the dragon boy resisted.
"How many times is this training?" Long Meng looked at the tear in his robe and marveled in his heart.
Ever since he taught the dragon boy, the latter's fighting skills have soared and improved with each passing day.
In terms of basic combat, the previous dragon suits were simply terrible. They had strong physical fitness, but they couldn't really display it.
Today's dragon suits can not only display strong physical fitness, but also occasionally use eclectic and flexible moves to create their own style.
If he hadn't experienced it himself, Long Meng would never have believed that there were such talented dragon people in this world.
Exhaling a breath of turbid air, Long Meng looked at the dragon boy intently: "It seems that you have also mastered the dragon ball fighting skills."
"However, what I appreciate more is your action of canceling your fighting skills."
"Let's sit down and talk."
Long Meng stretched out his hand to signal, then he knelt down and sat directly on the floor. His buttocks were not in contact with his legs and feet, keeping a distance, and his upper body was as straight as loose.
The dragon boy sat down, his legs bent at will, sitting cross-legged naturally. The dragon's claws were placed on his knees, and the boy said carelessly: "Long Meng, if you want to praise me, then praise me more, hahaha."
Long Meng's face was calm and his voice was slow and steady: "It is easy to indulge one's desires. But it is often at least ten times more difficult to restrain oneself."
"The essence of fighting lies not in attacking, but in not attacking."
"The purpose of martial arts is not to kill, but to stop fighting."
The dragon boy's heart moved slightly, but on the surface he asked: "What do you mean?"
Long Meng smiled slightly: "This is the concept of Eastern fighting, and it is indeed somewhat clouded. Let me put it another way."
"You know that our dragon people's bloodline comes from the dragon clan, right?"
Dragon boy: "Of course."
Long Meng: "The earliest dragon people were the result of the mating between dragons and humans."
"Dragon people combined with each other or gathered with other ethnic groups, and gradually developed to this day, and have formed their own fixed ethnic group. As dragon people, we enjoy the physical advantages derived from the dragon tribe on the one hand, but also have corresponding disadvantages on the other hand - Dragon
Sex disturbs us all the time.”
"Dragon nature?" The dragon boy frowned.
Long Meng continued: "Dragon people are generally arrogant and look down on other life forms. The more powerful they are, the more arrogant they become. This is not an exception, but a common situation. These are dragon natures."
"Of course, the specific dragon bloodline is different, and the dragon nature is also different."
"For example, my bloodline comes from the white dragon, so I tend to be cold and indifferent."
"As for you, you obviously have the characteristics of the red dragon bloodline, and you have a violent and impulsive personality. Red dragon people are usually brave and fearless, but from another perspective, they act blindly."
"On the battlefield, red dragons often suffer serious losses because of this character flaw."
"You can think of dragon nature as a common character flaw."
"You have the potential of a holy realm and have a bright future. The grade and concentration of your red dragon blood are excellent, and your dragon nature is very deep. But you have not succumbed to your dragon nature, and your personality is not inclined to be violent and impulsive.
This proves that you have retained a considerable degree of humanity."
"Is there such a thing?" The dragon boy was greatly moved.
Bloodline can indeed affect temperament, and this influence is profound.
The dragon boy had a particularly profound experience, because he could transform into different life forms through his blood core. He remembered clearly: when he transformed into the Bolang fish human form, he had a strong natural affinity for water and gained the power of water.
The package is like returning home.
The dragon boy secretly analyzed: "According to logic, my dragon nature should be heavier. Because I am not a stable dragon blood. My dragon life form at this time is a combination of the blood of the Flame Dragon King and my own human blood.
Appearance.”
"Under normal circumstances, this life form is very unstable, worse than those man-made monsters on the Mysterious Island. It is only because of the support of the blood core that it can be forcibly fused together without backlash or collapse."
"As for why my human nature trumps my dragon nature, it's because I not only adopted the bloodline of the Flame Dragon King, but also other dragon bloodlines that I absorbed before. Most of them are white dragon bloodlines."
"The bloodlines of White Dragon and Yanlong cancel each other out a lot, so my humanity takes the upper hand."
The dragon boy always does this when facing Long Meng.
The main reason is that he is worried that his poor physical fitness in the fight, which is not of the level of the holy domain bloodline, will make Long Meng suspicious.
Long Meng looked solemn and said sincerely: "For fighters, our bodies are like natural weapons. If we indulge our desires, do not restrain our temperament, and let it play out, we are letting the weapons control us, not us.
Harness the weapons.”
"Always be aware of the dragon nature, be vigilant about the dragon nature, suppress the dragon nature, control the dragon nature, and ultimately maintain the clarity of our own souls. This is the correct way for us to advance to a new realm of martial arts."
"It is precisely because of this that I have sublimated martial arts and mastered 'jin'."
Hearing Long Meng mention "jin", the dragon boy's eyes shone with great interest: "I know 'jin'! But I can't grasp it, it's too difficult! I don't have a clue at all."
Long Meng chuckled: "The so-called strength actually means grasping the subtleties and integrating the body and mind."
"Physically, we need to be familiar with it and control it. We know how tall we are, how fast we can run, and whether we can defeat the porcelain stone or the bricks below with one punch. We know how much power we should exert to achieve a certain effect.
.”
"Spiritually, we need to control our own spirit and keep it clear. However, the dragon nature is often too strong and difficult to grasp. Only by controlling it, clarifying yourself, and recognizing your own heart can you control your mind."
"The better the physical fitness of us dragon people, the better the bloodline, which means the stronger the dragon nature."
"And the strong dragon nature is precisely the difficulty for us to control our hearts."
"Therefore, excellent fighters who master Jin often do not have strong bloodlines. They usually have both internal and external skills, rich experience, have seen all the world, and have washed away their brilliance. Or they have been isolated from the world since childhood, received guidance from experts, and practiced hard.
, a person with a pure heart."
"To master Jin, you must master both your body and your mind. One is indispensable."
Long Meng's words just explained some of the dragon boy's doubts.
The young dragon man received a divine gift and gained a lot of experience as a fighter. Most of these experiences were related to the cultivation of fighting spirit, the practice and use of fighting skills. But there were also very few parts that related to strength.
Because it is a gift from the Charming Blue God, Charming Blue believers focus on life in the sea, so there are two types of energy experiences gained by the dragon boy, namely the flowing water energy and the purifying energy.
The force of flowing water can give the fighter a dynamic flow of defense like water, which can effectively resist the force of cutting and piercing, causing it to flow and disperse upon contact.
The purification energy acts on Dou Qi, breath, blood, and food eaten and drank, filtering and purifying them. When used in food, it can be refined, improve digestion in disguised form, and even allow the fighter to leapfrog and eat high-grade monster meat. If poisoned
, you can use purification energy to turn poison into poison. If there is an enemy's fighting spirit, magic or magical power raging in the body, purification energy can also be used to target it, bringing great help to the fighter.
However, the dragon boy did not master these two powers.
Even if he transformed into a fish-man form, he would not succeed. The help brought by his experience was far less obvious than the cultivation of fighting skills and fighting spirit.
According to Long Meng's theory, this is because the dragon boy's body and mind are not in place.
"However, when I first mastered the power of penetration and relied on the Grand Arena Medal, I achieved it in one fell swoop."
"My body and mind were in compliance with the standards at that time. Why did I master the other two subsequent energies but not meet the standards?"
The doubtful dragon boy shouted loudly: "Do I have to master both aspects in order for me to cultivate vigorously?"
"I can't meet the standards you mentioned, Long Meng."
"Isn't there any shortcut?"
Long Meng waved his hand: "Don't be anxious."
"What I mean is that one can fully master both the body and the mind, and one can reach the peak of strength. This is the highest standard."
"The reason why I mentioned Jin is because I saw that your human nature suppressed the dragon nature. Moreover, this performance was not just once. Your mind has reached the passing line, and it is possible to practice and develop Jin."
The dragon boy was slightly shuddering.
He always pretended to be himself in front of Long Meng and acted to a certain extent. Long Meng was not a green beard and had a sophisticated eye, but he was sincere in martial arts, had a high level of authority, and could see some of his own nature by analogy.
The young man looked overjoyed and stood up directly: "There is indeed a shortcut! Then teach me quickly."
"What is the strength?"
"I actually want to learn."
Long Meng laughed: "I don't promise to teach you."
"Jin is much more difficult than fighting skills, and it is not universal. One person has mastered Jin in one way, but it may not be applicable to others. In particular, the experience of Jin has almost no guiding value. This is because
Everyone’s physical and mental conditions are different.”
The dragon boy suddenly thought: "So that's it. The experience of God-given energy is actually an obstacle for me to master the flow energy and purification energy?"
Long Meng stood up slowly: "Come on, let me test you first to see what kind of strength you are suitable for."
Long Meng approached the boy and showed his chest: "Hit my chest with your fist."
The dragon boy used his normal strength to hit Long Meng head-on.
"Come again." Long Meng remained unmoved, "Use the same force and don't change the way you punch."
The dragon boy punched him again, with a look of surprise on his face.
Long Meng smiled: "How do you feel?"
The dragon boy said bluntly: "The first blow was like hitting a steel plate. The second blow was like hitting dough."
Long Meng nodded: "Yes, the former is strong and the latter is soft."
"The most important thing is, which of these two forces do you feel more clearly?"
The dragon boy thought to himself that both types are almost the same. But he thought about it again and replied: "The first one is strong."
The dragon boy asked again: "What are strong strength and soft strength? Why haven't I heard of them?"
Long Meng did not hide his secrets at all: "These are the two most basic energies. What we hear about every day are all derivatives of these two basic energies."
"For example, penetrating strength is a change of soft strength, and cutting strength is the application of strong strength. Piercing strength is mainly rigid and supplemented by softness."
The dragon boy heard this theory for the first time.
The war dealer's database contains various fighting spirit techniques, fighting skills, meditation methods, spells, etc., but there is no such thing as jin. The war monger collects these materials for artificial warcraft, and jin is a technique exclusive to intelligent races.
Among the fighter experience that the dragon boy received from the gods, there were only two kinds of jin. But they did not involve theory at all, just the experience of using jin.
The dragon boy thought for a while and blurted out: "Since all jins are changes and derivatives of hard and soft jins, then if I master these two kinds of jins, and then combine and transform them, won't I be able to master all the jins?"
Are you excited?"
Long Meng shook his head, his eyes calm: "That's not the case."
"The real sequence is exactly the opposite of what you think."
"Only by mastering a variety of jins can we understand the summary, grasp the subtleties, and refine these two basic jins."
After a pause, Long Meng continued: "Generally speaking, those who can realize and then master a certain strength are often the moves that a fighter uses most frequently, is the best at, or has the most experience with."
"For example, a fighter is best at the bone-penetrating finger fighting skill. When he performs this fighting skill, he controls every part of his body and his mind becomes extremely clear and clear in an instant, and it is possible to grasp it.
Instant inspiration, thus mastering the penetration power.”
"For another example, there is a fighter who is extremely proficient in warhammer weapons. He uses the warhammer like an arm and fingers, like a part of the body, which is extremely natural and vivid. Then he may be able to grasp inspiration in daily training and master the crushing power, or
The force of gravity, or the force of collision."
"One more thing, the better chance than daily training is actually in combat."
"Often the more intense the battle, the more the fighter can enter a state where body and mind are unified, the mind is clear, and there are no impurities. In this physical and mental state, the possibility of mastering energy is much greater than usual."
"This is the situation of most people who master the strength of fighters."
"Their body and mind have reached a certain standard, and they can master one, or two or three types of energy. They have just stepped into the state of energy with one foot, which is not considered to be a master, let alone a master."
The young dragon man interjected and asked: "What is the great achievement of strength? Is it the mastery of strong strength and soft strength?"
Long Meng nodded.
The dragon boy's pupils shrank. For this alone, he was far inferior to Long Meng!
Long Meng took back the topic: "According to the test just now, you have a deeper understanding of strength. Then the next learning goal is strength derived from strength, or strength based on strength."
"Choose a fighting method that you are most familiar with and like the most, whether it is attack, defense, unarmed or weapons, whether it is basic fighting or fighting skills, as long as it is the one that suits you best and is the most enjoyable."
"Then practice it over and over again."
"In this process, I will pass on to you two basic strengths - strong strength and soft strength."
"This will greatly encourage you to grasp the strength and the corresponding strength. But I don't know exactly what it is. It all varies from person to person."
"Of course, the biggest possibility is that the training failed."
The dragon boy stared: "Can you still... convey energy?!"
This was the first time he heard of it.
"Yes, as long as you master the resonance power." Long Meng nodded, his expression always calm.
"Resonance energy..." This is also the energy that the dragon boy has heard of for the first time.
He found that Long Meng's fighting skills were much deeper than his.
Guan Jin’s advice opened the young man’s eyes and gained a lot.
"Long Meng's melee advantage is too great. If I were to fight with him now, I must try my best to avoid close combat. It's best to fight from a distance."
"I can feel that he is giving me sincere advice."
"Why?"
"I'm obviously his enemy. Wouldn't it be too naive if he wants to win without a fight?"
"Long Meng is not such a naive person!"
The few times he spent time with Long Meng, the young dragon man greatly increased his understanding of Long Meng.
Since he returned from the ocean brood, his insight into human nature has advanced to a mysterious level. Previously in Snowbird Harbor, he could easily design Cong Mang. During the duel, he accurately grasped Mi Fang's mentality.
The young dragon man was not sure of the reason for this change. He judged that it might be that he was the messenger of Charming Blue God and had used deception spells many times. And deception and concealment were aimed at the power of the soul.
