Qin Tiexin stood at the front, with his left arm across his chest, and received the first bear's frontal attack. The bear's paw slapped him on the shoulder, and the palm force made a dull sound through the monk's robe, and he did not move at all.
Du Heng's broad sword thrust out from his side and struck the bear's neck with one sword. Lin Chuan's long sword followed closely behind, the tip of the sword stabbing into the bear's eye accurately. Liu Suifeng's binding circle silently unfolded from behind, trapping the other two bears in place, Qin Tiexin Taking advantage of the situation, he smashed the core of the second bear's puppet with one punch. The third bear was strangled by the double swords of Du Heng and Lin Chuan. During the whole process, not a single claw could cross Qin Tiexin's defense line and touch Liu Suifeng and Xu Ying in the back row.
Liu Suifeng raised his head from the array plate, with obvious surprise on his face. "This is too easy."
In fact, the five of them basically didn't use their full strength. Except for Xu Ying, everyone present had the ability to kill Foundation Establishment Peak Stage alone. Du Heng's Mysterious Gang Stone-Splitting Sword Instruction could cut Foundation Establishment Peak Stage with just one sword. Demon Beast's defense, Lin Chuan's last five moves of Hundred Herbs Swordsmanship and the soft sword at the waist have never been used in exercises. Liu Suifeng's array also contains several Golden Core-level killing arrays.
The drill focuses on tactical running-in, with an emphasis on coordination.
Of course, Qin Tiexin did not use his full strength. With his current strength boosted by Qi Gang, no matter whether it was a puppet or Demon Beast, the opponent could not withstand his full punch. He deliberately controlled the force of his shots during the drill, and acted more as a side-moving Iron Wall, allowing the teammates behind him to have a more comfortable output space.
After several drills, the five of them gradually developed a tacit understanding of their respective positions and timing of shots.
Du Heng mainly attacked the front, and Qin Tiexin was in front of him to withstand the first wave of impact. Du Heng's broad sword thrust out from the left side of Qin Tiexin. The sword force no longer had to leave three points of force for self-protection, and its power increased sharply.
Lin Chuan roams to provide support, while Hundred Herbs Swordsmanship follows the path of Lightness and Agility's fast sword, interspersing last-minute strikes between Du Heng's fierce sword power and Qin Tiexin's frontal defense, targeting the core weakness in order to kill with one blow.
Liu Suifeng had carved several binding formations and long-range attack formations on the formation plate in advance. Qin Tiexin held off all the frontal pressure for him from the front, and his formation speed nearly doubled. Normally The function of Liu Suifeng is to restrain other enemies and prevent them from being besieged. Once they encounter opponents that Lin Chuan and Du Heng cannot solve, Liu Suifeng's attack formation is their most powerful output.
Xu Ying provides treatment and logistical support in the back row, and her Divine Sense always covers the entire battlefield. Every time Du Heng uses her sword power and Lin Chuan is attacked from the side, her reminder is always sent to her immediately. Demon Beast's weakness is also the first thing she discovers, and then the message is transmitted to everyone.
During several breaks, Xu Ying would take out Jade Slip to record everyone's fighting habits and consumption, and then take out the corresponding elixirs from the storage bracelet and distribute them to everyone. Du Heng's Swordsmanship was opened and closed, and the earth spiritual power was consumed a lot, so she gave Du Heng more She prepared a bottle of Earth Spirit Qi Recovery Pill. When Liu Suifeng needed to quickly replenish Divine Sense, she prepared an enhanced version of Spirit-Clearing Pill for Liu Suifeng. Everything was as if she was doing her job, smooth and quiet, and she didn't care about Spirit Stone at all.
Liu Suifeng glanced at it when he took it and said, "Xu Ying, if you focus on the formation, you might be better than me."
Xu Ying smiled slightly, "There are specialties in the art industry."
After the third drill, Du Heng walked up to Qin Tiexin, thrust his broadsword into the ground, and said, "With Senior Brother Ming standing in front, I feel much more comfortable with this sword move."
At the end of the fifth exercise, Lin Chuan walked up to Qin Tiexin alone and handed something to Qin Tiexin.
It is a jade talisman as big as a palm.
The texture of the jade talisman is warm and light cyan. There is a minimalist sword pattern engraved on the surface of the talisman, which is exactly the same as the sword pattern on the lintel of the secret room Lin Household. A small piece of dark gold Spirit Rune Stone is embedded on the back.
"This is an amulet given by my father. It can block Golden Core Late Stage's full blow." Lin Chuan put the jade amulet into Qin Tiexin's hand. "The secret realm is dangerous and unpredictable. Senior Brother Ming holds it."
Qin Tiexin looked down at the jade talisman and was about to refuse, but Lin Chuan had already pressed the back of his hand.
"I brought you into the team." Lin Chuan's tone was a little more firm than usual, "You are still Brother Feng's brother. If something happens to you, I won't be able to get through. Take it."
Qin Tiexin was silent for a breath and solemnly stuffed the jade talisman into the chest of the monk's robe.
Lin Chuan saw that he had accepted it, nodded, and turned back to continue discussing formation adjustments for the next drill with Liu Suifeng.
The tenth exercise ended, it was already dusk two days later, and the sky was slowly getting dark. After working together for the past few days, the few people were basically familiar with their respective fighting methods and characteristics. Tomorrow was the Secret Realm Trial assessment. Today, the consumption should not be too large, so the five people dispersed and made an appointment to meet at Morning Star Training Ground tomorrow morning.
When Qin Tiexin returned to Lin Residence's small courtyard, it was already dark. A small fluorite lamp was lit in Ming'an's wing. Under the lamp, there was a very light sound of wooden fish, thump, thump, thump, with a slow and even rhythm.
Qin Tiexin didn't go in to disturb him. He sat cross-legged on the futon in the courtyard, opened the storage ring, and counted the items that might be used in the secret realm one by one, making sure that nothing was missing.
Just when he was about to close the storage ring and close his eyes to adjust the state to the best, a very subtle buzzing suddenly came from Frost Storage Bag.
Qin Tiexin paused with his fingers and probed Divine Sense into Frost Storage Bag. He only saw the five-foot-long dry arm bone lying on the bottom of Storage Bag. The dark golden runes on the surface of the arm were lighting up one by one. From the shoulder bones and arm bones to the wrist bones and finger bones, the runes were like a string of lit lights, waking up one after another in the darkness.
An old and distant consciousness was introduced into the sea of consciousness, and was translated by Illustrated Catalog of Ten Thousand Artifacts.
[I... have awakened from my deep sleep. Here... there is something of the same origin as me.] The phalanges of the broken arm are slightly bent, pointing far to the northwest.
Qin Tiexin took the severed arm out of Storage Bag and held it on his left palm. The dark gold runes on the surface of the arm bones were still flowing slowly, and they were a little brighter than in memory, and the lines of the runes were a little clearer than before.
[Senior, you're awake.]
Broken Arm has been sleeping since the last time Wind and Snow Pass reminded him that someone was being controlled. Now that he suddenly woke up, Qin Tiexin felt quite complicated.
What's worrying is that he still doesn't know the true attitude and purpose of this severed arm. It claims to be a "same race" with him, but it has never communicated with him seriously, and he still doesn't know its true origin. Surprisingly, he has seen the strength of this severed arm with his own eyes. It penetrated the skull of Black Armor Mastiff with one blow at the Iron Spine Sect ruins, and even promised to take him away from the blood pool.
With it, I have another layer of protection in the secret realm.
The severed arm trembled slightly in his palm, as if it was moving a joint that had not moved for a long time. The old voice entered the sea of consciousness again, and the tone seemed to be calmer and more casual than when he woke up last time.
[Boy, why is your cultivation progress so slow during this period?]
