Chapter 118 Three Ways to Break Through the Bottleneck

A few days later, the city lord, Marquis Serra, led a mighty army out of the city and rushed to the front line of Marseilles.

Only a group of old, weak, sick and disabled city defense troops and a small number of officials with little martial arts ability were left to manage and maintain the order of Lyon. University colleges like the Michelin Academy suppressed it, so the city is still calm.

Zhang Ang also lost a person to talk to every day, so he took advantage of the few days before the start of school to enter the Xuanwu Hall again, preparing to attack the realm of the great master.

Loneliness is like a sword, the sword pierces the heart, loneliness is like a knife, the knife cuts the bones.

Enduring boundless loneliness and loneliness alone, another three or three days have passed.

However, Zhang Ang did not break through the Grand Master.

Yes, he has become stronger, his physical meridians have been strengthened again and again, and the number and speed of his internal energy have also doubled, but he still has not broken through to the Grand Master.He still couldn't do the iconic control of objects out of thin air, transforming internal air into form. Countless times of accumulation, gathering, and overflowing did not lead to the final qualitative change, as if another layer of impermeable membrane, tightly blocking In front of him, making him unable to break through.

These three years of training have only changed him from an ordinary martial arts master who has just broken through to a powerful martial arts master who has been practicing for many years.

After nearly a hundred failed breakthroughs, Zhang Ang had to stop this monotonous practice, walked out of Xuanwu Hall, and went outside to seek answers.

Fortunately, there are still a few grandmasters in the academy, and Grandmaster Bernard is even more powerful at the venerable level.

But Zhang Ang did not go to Master Bernard at the beginning, but first went to Master Bocuse. He and Bernard were the only two great masters in the academy.

It wasn't hard to find him either. Zhang Ang easily found Master Bocuse who was fishing by the river.

"How to break through the grand master? I can't say this, but it must be related to talent. If talent is insufficient, no matter how hard you work, you can't break through." After thinking about it, Master Bocuse replied.

"What if the talent is enough?" Zhang Ang doesn't think his current super talent will be a bottleneck.

"That's accumulation. You have just broken through now. You still need to accumulate. You need to spend a few years carefully polishing your body, polishing your inner breath, getting familiar with the attributes of the inner breath in all parts of your body, and thoroughly controlling them before you can try to break through." Master Bocuse shared his experience.

"What if the accumulation is enough? Will there be a bottleneck or something?" Zhang Ang asked the key.

"There will be bottlenecks at every stage. I have encountered many bottlenecks during my practice, especially the advancement to the Grandmaster, which is extremely dangerous. It took a lot of hard work and hard work to break through successfully. If you are promoted to the Grandmaster, it is impossible. I encountered a bottleneck, I remember that day I was fishing by the river, and then I suddenly felt that time slowed down, and I slowly realized the blowing of the wind, the flow of water, and the swimming of fish, just in a few breaths, I was promoted to grand master, so it can be said that I did not encounter any bottlenecks, naturally, of course, I had enough accumulation before." With memories, Master Bocuse spoke out of his experience without reservation.

"Is this an epiphany?" Zhang Ang murmured after thinking for a while.

"Yes, it's epiphany." Master Bocuse confirmed.

Then, Zhang Ang went to the dean building of Master Bernard, and found Master Bernard who was watching and annotating some documents.

"Oh, Tom, you're here. I'm going to inform you. After school officially starts tomorrow, you will teach them basic knife skills. After all, you are good at knife skills, and you are familiar with the students, and your age is not too big. It's easy to communicate." Master Bernard said with a smile.

"Oh, yes, no problem." Zhang Ang agreed.

"Oh, by the way, what's the matter today?" Master Bernard put down his pen and asked.

"I would like to ask how to break through the Grandmaster Realm and advance to Grandmaster. If you have enough talent and accumulation, what should you do if you encounter a bottleneck when you break through?" Zhang Ang was not polite, and went straight to the point.

"Oh? I have been concerned about this issue so long ago. Let me think about it." Master Bernard thought about his words, and said: "Generally, there will be more or less breakthroughs and promotions at each stage, and there will be encounters, big and small. Bottlenecks, generally in the early stage, as long as you have enough talent and practice hard, these bottlenecks are easy to break through. But the further you go, the more difficult it is to break through, and the stronger the bottlenecks encountered. In many cases, only relying on talent and hard work is It is impossible to break through. If you encounter such a bottleneck and want to break through, there are generally three ways."

"What, there are three methods?" Zhang Ang couldn't believe it.

Master Bernard's explanation did not stop because of Zhang Ang's interruption: "The first type, which is also the simplest and most illusory, is epiphany. When encountering an event or seeing something It may trigger this epiphany, break through the bottleneck all of a sudden, and be promoted instantly, but this is also the most difficult, even if most people travel around the world to seek epiphany, they may never encounter it in their entire lives, it is not something you can pursue or obtain."

After a pause, he continued: "The second method is the most dangerous, and it is also the most commonly used by everyone. It is to fight to the death, to stimulate the potential between life and death, and to achieve a breakthrough! I am the great master who broke through with this method. A while ago, when the association was still in Paris, and I was still a master, the Musketeers surrounded and suppressed a group of skeleton cultists who committed numerous bloody crimes in Paris. Among them, the strongest skeleton cultist escaped into the building of our association and killed many members of our association I really couldn't see it, so I fought him with a knife. Although the Skeleton Cultist was seriously injured, he was a real master-level powerhouse. To be honest, I didn't have any actual combat experience at the time. I don’t know how I survived. But in the end, I waited until the Musketeers rushed over and saved the lives of others. At that time, I was seriously injured and almost died. It’s everyone It was easy to save me, and even supported me as the president. After the injury was healed, I found that the bottleneck that had trapped me no longer existed, and then I successfully promoted to the grand master."

After waiting for a while, Master Bernard didn't talk about the third method, so Zhang Ang could only ask, "What about the third method?"

Master Bernard's expression became serious, but he still spoke: "I've only heard of this last method. It is said that some secret techniques have been circulated among some demons and heretics, and they can break through the bottleneck too through some evil and bloody methods. , and these methods are all very devoid of conscience, devoid of humanity, and may have great side effects. A small number of people who have no hope of breaking through, and who give up their conscience and morality for their own martial arts, will join those demons and heretics to seek these secret methods to break through. I don't want you to use this method anyway, no matter how difficult you encounter, everyone will help you and encourage you, but you can't go on an evil path in order to break through, do you understand?"

Seeing Master Bernard's serious expression, Zhang Ang of course nodded his head, and said sincerely: "Of course, Dean, don't worry, I'm not Shabi, and I will never go on this road anyway. "
