"The eighty-one moves of the Killing Sword Technique are just the basics. What really matters is courage, combat experience, and the killing intent condensed after killing a lot of people!"

"In a bloody battle, courage is the most important thing for a warrior. Come, pick up your sword. Today, you will practice with me."

The next day, in the training room, after watching Gu Yang practice the moves of the Killing Sword Technique, Hong Tao picked up a seven-foot-long and one-foot-wide black heavy sword on the knife rack by the wall with one hand and pointed it straight at him.

Five meters away, Gu Yang's face was serious, holding the long sword tightly in his hand, holding his breath and concentrating.

Hong Tao's seriousness brought him too much pressure.

Two meters and two meters tall, a sturdy body like a giant bear, and the long sword in his hand...

But even so, Gu Yang gritted his teeth, took a few steps forward, and chopped it out with a sword.

"Pressure is meant to break through!"

"Clang~"

The long sword in his hand was easily shattered by Hong Tao, and fell to the ground and splashed sparks.

A huge black shadow passed over his head, and Gu Yang narrowed his eyes and dodged backwards as if by reflex.

The next moment, the black shadow disappeared, and a violent roar sounded.

"Open your eyes!"

This roar was really like thunder in his ears. For a moment, Gu Yang only felt a "buzzing" sound in his ears, and he couldn't hear anything clearly.

He even dared to be sure that with this roar, Hong Tao's combat effectiveness would be at least increased by 30%, and it would be absolutely no problem to win the title of "Roaring Heavenly Lord".

"Go pick up the knife, don't be distracted, continue!"

The eardrum gradually calmed down, and Hong Tao's voice sounded again.

Gu Yang pursed his lips hard, picked up the long knife and rushed towards Hong Tao again.

"Clang!"

The scene emerged, and the black shadow was approaching again. Gu Yang still couldn't help but want to squint his eyes.

But this time, he forcibly controlled his instinctive impulse, staring at the approaching blade with wide eyes.

Finally...

Gu Yang couldn't help it. He roared, but he took a step forward instead of retreating.

This step will open up a new world.

Hong Tao retracted his long sword, and a hint of praise appeared on his face, "Not bad."

"Hoohoo..."

However, Gu Yang didn't have the heart to reply to Hong Tao. At this time, his brain was blank, his pupils shrank violently, and he supported his knees with both hands, gasping for breath.

He still had plenty of physical strength, but he still felt his limbs were weak and his hands and feet were powerless.

The fear of facing the blade directly could not be imagined by imagination alone, and it was completely different from the oncoming fists and feet.

If you want to not dodge, blink, or be afraid when the blade is approaching, you can only do it through continuous training.

Through training, overcome instinct.

"Continue." Retracting his smile, Hong Tao regained his serious expression again.

"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang..."

In the following time, Gu Yang launched attacks again and again, and was easily smashed by Hong Tao's long sword again and again, and then faced the blade directly.

The sun slowly rose until noon, when this special training finally ended.

Hong Tao left with a sentence "Continue the day after tomorrow morning", leaving Gu Yang alone lying on his back in the training room, staring at the hole on the ceiling and wandering in the sky.

This special training is very painful, but the effect is really good.

At least now when facing the blade, he will not want to close his eyes as a conditioned reflex.

However, there is still a long way to go to achieve what Hong Tao required, "Mount Tai collapses in front of you and your face remains unchanged". Obviously, this special training will continue for a while.

...

Five days later, in the training room.

Staring at the blade that was about to touch him, Gu Yang's eyes were calm, and there was no change on his face.

Seeing Gu Yang's performance, Hong Tao stopped and said, "You can adapt to the blade alone. Next, start to adapt to the killing intent."

"You should know that the eyes of wild beasts are full of ferocity and killing intent. Ordinary people will either be frightened and unable to move or have a mental breakdown and turn around and run away if they just look at them. Therefore, if you can't face the killing intent of the beast, don't even think about hunting it."

"Now, look at me!"

"Yes, Dean Hong."

"Boom!"

In an instant, Gu Yang seemed to be naked in the ice and snow.

The cold air penetrated his bones and froze his heart.

Looking at Hong Tao's eyes full of killing intent, Gu Yang felt that his whole body was out of control.

After a long time, he broke free, and then he heard Hong Tao's voice.

"Continue."

...

Half a month later

In the training room, facing Hong Tao's murderous knife, Gu Yang was extremely calm and slid aside, letting the long knife fall beside him, and then took another step forward and slashed at Hong Tao.

"Clang!"

Hong Tao stretched out his other hand and directly grasped the blade of the steel knife. The two made a sound of metal collision when they came into contact.

"Not bad, the courage training is qualified for the time being."

Nodding with satisfaction, Hong Tao said again: "You can slowly accumulate combat experience and murderous intent in subsequent actual combat. For the next five days, you can arrange it yourself. In the evening of five days later, you can arrange your family affairs and wait for me here. I will take you to meet up with other disciples and leave the city together."

"Yes, Dean Hong." Gu Yang replied immediately.

After a moment, Hong Tao left.

Gu Yang took a deep breath and picked up the long sword again to practice the sword skills seriously.

Stab, chop, lift, hang, chop, sweep, pick, chop, collapse...

One by one, basic movements and different combinations of moves unfolded in his hands.

Gu Yang went all out with every knife.

At the same time, there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Although he had not killed anyone yet, he had been swinging the sword under the pressure of Hong Tao's murderous aura these days, and he had already condensed a trace of murderous aura.

This trace of murderous intent may not have any effect on the disciples who have already experienced it, but if they are facing those rookies in the martial arts field before, it is a complete dimensionality reduction attack.

"Swish, swish!"

The sword wind whistled, and the long sword suddenly went from moving to still.

Gu Yang shook his wrist, and the steel knife returned to his back again.

[Skill 'Killing Sword' Proficiency +1]

"Huh..."

Gu Yang took a long breath and slowly closed his eyes.

In an instant, the stars appeared.

[Skills: Nourishing Blood Posture·Great Success (91/400); Dragon Dance·Minor Success (168/1000), Killing Sword·Beginner (87/100)]

[Talent: Vitality Emerges, Power Surges, Power of the Wild Bull.]

In half a month, Gu Yang not only passed Hong Tao's special training, but also improved his proficiency in the three skills.

He took a pack of Qi and Blood Powder every other day to practice the Posture. At this time, his proficiency in Nourishing Blood Posture was close to one-fourth of the level required for blood coagulation.

He practiced by himself or with Hong Tao every day, and his progress in Killing Sword was also very rapid.

Similarly, his use of footwork in the battle with Hong Tao would also improve his proficiency in Dragon Dance.

However, although all three skills have made progress, the only one that is close to a breakthrough is the Killing Sword.

Looking at the floating words in front of him, Gu Yang couldn't help but make a secret decision in his heart.

In the next five days, he will put most of his energy into the Killing Sword, and strive to break through this skill to a minor success before leaving the city for training!
