Chapter 480: 0311 Hammerhead Seven Dates (4k)_2

"Come in."

...

Inside the practice room.

Gongsun Ying had already brought over a basin of fresh and sweet big red dates.

She used her slender fingers to pick up seven big red dates and stuffed them into her mouth, making her cheeks bulge out.

For a moment, Lu Chenzhou felt that this headmaster, who was equivalent to an eighty-year-old ordinary woman, was somewhat adorable?

Yet despite being nearly eighty, Gongsun Ying had become a Grandmaster at forty.

After stabilizing her Qi-blood, her appearance had not changed much from forty years ago, still retaining her charm.

Before long, Gongsun Ying finished eating the dates.

She picked up a date and handed it to Lu Chenzhou.

"Eat... Why are you just watching me eat?"

"Teacher, practicing this True Skill, does it really require eating dates?"

"Why else."

"Alright then."

Lu Chenzhou took the plate and started eating the dates.

This kind of training experience was a first for him.

Like a little squirrel with her cheeks puffed up, Gongsun Ying said:

"You have a big mouth, you eat more. I can manage seven at a time, any more and it affects my looks."

"... Okay."

Lu Chenzhou devoured the dates, finishing eighteen in one go.

"So sweet."

Not only that, he felt a slight warm current within him, gradually filling his Qi Sea.

"Teacher, what kind of dates are these? Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures?"

Gongsun Ying smiled and said:

"Wishful thinking. Although these are not treasures, they are a new plant called [Pure Essence Date] that our Dragon City research team found in the Void Realm. We have successfully grafted them onto ordinary date trees at the Taihang Mountain research base, and preliminary mass production has been achieved. Pure Essence Dates will be used to refine [True Primordial Pills], which can temporarily enhance Power, True Qi, and True Gang recovery speeds."

Lu Chenzhou’s eyes lit up upon hearing this:

"This... This is a major breakthrough! Has it started selling yet?"

Medicines that accelerate True Qi recovery are available,

but they are all made from expensive herbs or even treasures.

The [True Returning Pill] that Lu Chenzhou often uses can double True Qi recovery speed within fifteen minutes.

It can typically compensate for True Qi consumption during prolonged combat.

But one pill costs 100 Battle Merits.

He could afford it, but ordinary Martial Artists couldn’t bear to buy it.

If dates could be mass-produced, it would lower the price, benefiting ordinary Martial Artists like his master and senior sisters.

Gongsun Ying said:

"Soon, it will be available at the War Merit Store."

"Great."

"Before you leave, I’ll give you a box of dates. When you go home, you should take some local specialties with you."

"Thank you, teacher."

"The seeds of these dates are as hard as steel nails. They are perfect for practicing accuracy. When my ancestor created the [Copper Core Head Arrow] martial art, he only used ordinary date seeds and could still kill Innate experts with one shot. If you practice to perfection, a single date seed hitting an enemy’s weak spot, like the eye... you can kill a similarly ranked expert!"

"Actually, I want to use this martial art to practice the accuracy of spitting out Sword Qi."

"Sword Qi?"

"I took a Supreme Treasure some time ago and acquired a trace of Innate Geng Metal Qi."

Mist Sword Qi, essentially, was Geng Metal Qi.

Gongsun Ying understood and laughed:

"The principle is the same, you can replace the date seed with Sword Qi."

After saying that, she turned her head and spat out,

puff puff puff — seven crisp sounds.

Lu Chenzhou looked out the window and could faintly see, with his Eye Power, seven streaks of light shooting toward the opposite shore.

"Follow me!"

On the opposite shore of Stone Lake, five kilometers away, an old willow tree had seven swaying branches fall to the ground.

Lu Chenzhou hurried over, his eyes filled with amazement.

"Such terrifying accuracy."

"You don’t have the Eye Power and vision of a Great Grandmaster. Once you’ve mastered it, being accurate within a few hundred meters is good enough. By the way, I heard you recently awakened your talent, with spiritual power far exceeding that of ordinary people."

Lu Chenzhou was taken aback and laughed:

"It was a stroke of luck, but I’m only able to use basic Telekinesis."

Gongsun Ying said:

"Now you might be busy with Breakthrough Realm... but when you have time, you can learn some Spirit Martial Arts, tailored to our Da Xia Martial Arts, like using spiritual power instead of normal vision to sense the enemy, which is more precise.

Vision can be obstructed by obstacles, light refraction, and other factors, but invisible and intangible spiritual power cannot. While our Da Xia Martial Arts don’t primarily focus on spiritual power, after becoming a Grandmaster, strong fighters rely on spirit and Po to sense and anticipate during combat.

Information perceived by the eyes takes time to be transmitted to the brain. For combat below Grandmaster level, this time lag doesn’t matter, but for Grandmaster-level battles, often in moments of lightning-fast exchanges, vision becomes auxiliary."

Lu Chenzhou benefited greatly from this.

"I see, directly using the heart and mind to sense and process in real-time, without errors."

After reaching a higher realm, the ways of the heart and mind are indeed numerous.

No wonder Da Xia emphasizes the simultaneous cultivation of Essence, Qi, and Spirit.

For the next half-day, Gongsun Ying led Lu Chenzhou in practice on Stone Lake.

"As a beginner, use the fish in the lake as your target. Remember, for the Copper Core Head Arrow to be powerful, you need to use micro-control techniques, evenly attaching your True Qi to the date seed in your mouth, then making the True Qi vibrate rhythmically.

Eventually, the breath generated by your tongue, mouth, nasal cavity, and chest cavity will resonate, using your tongue as the trajectory of a crossbow, breath as the power source, and your flexible neck to shoot the date seed to where you sense, without hesitation.

Bear in mind, the way of hidden weapons as an auxiliary technique in direct confrontation involves no aiming time. You must learn to calculate distance, wind resistance, angle, centrifugal force, and other complex factors to strike instantly, making the enemy fall upon hearing the sound."

Lu Chenzhou felt he had broadened his horizons.

He had thought this was just an ordinary Lower Grade True Skill Level hidden weapon martial art.

He didn’t expect it to involve so many body areas and knowledge points.

It’s true, different fields are like mountains apart.

"Are you ready?"

"Ready."

"I’ll designate the target for you. You shoot... within a hundred meters."

"Alright."

Gongsun Ying suddenly said:

"Three o’clock direction, seventy-two meters, a one-jin big carp."

Puff — the date seed shot out and missed.

Gongsun Ying commented:

"Not bad, at least you hit nearby. Your basic accuracy is okay."

Next, Gongsun Ying increased the intensity.

"Two o’clock direction, ninety-six meters, solitary wheat stalk."

"Eight o’clock direction, thirty-four meters, a small catfish on the riverbed."

"..."

After shooting eighteen date seeds, three five-jin big carp floated to the surface of the lake.

"Damn, Chenzhou, you learned a bad trick, can’t catch fish, so you use martial arts, huh?"

The fishing Wu Zun couldn’t help but say, he had recently been promoted to Martial Arts Master, but was still an airman.

"Hahaha, teacher, you can take them to make West Lake Vinegar Fish."

Lu Chenzhou looked at the Martial Arts Tree, feeling good.

[Copper Core Head Arrow: Beginner (3%)]

With this martial art, no need to learn Tang Sect hidden weapons.

This kind of mysterious martial art, like the Sound Wave Technique, can be practiced occasionally as a supplement.

Lu Chenzhou wasn’t aiming for rapid progress.

He cupped his hands and said:

"Thank you, teacher, I’ve already entered the beginner stage, I’ll take my leave now."

Gongsun Ying wasn’t surprised.

Even the "Mountain God Demon-suppressing Fist" was learned in one go by this kid.

This kind of small trick is no big deal for him.

"Go, be careful of the Southwest region’s demon disturbances."

"Got it."

"If it becomes overwhelming, go home for a while. In Su City Dragon Martial, I can protect you."

...

At Wang Xian’s place.

The two brothers gathered again.

With the improvement of his spiritual power, Lu Chenzhou became more precise and sensitive in sensing others’ aura.

"Senior, you must be close to becoming a Grandmaster?"

"Maybe in a year or two."

"Then congratulations in advance, senior. Becoming a Grandmaster before forty, your future is limitless!"

"Don’t celebrate too early. Breaking the fourth shackle is harder than the previous three Realms combined. Even for a Martial Arts Genius, there’s still a significant failure rate... Be careful, if you’re not ninety percent sure, accumulate more before breaking through.

In the path of Martial Arts, speed is important, but stability is more important, to go further."
