Chapter 133 The Low-key Warrior of Southern Yunnan Province

"In Dian Prefecture, especially Southern Dian Prefecture, almost everyone knows that this little butcher from Dian Prefecture and his brother are extremely low-key. He didn't participate in the last martial arts performance. This time, he has already broken through to the Heavenly Stage and needs to participate in the Heavenly Stage group's martial arts performance. How could he be willing to participate in such a show that would expose him to more public attention?"

A burly warrior explained seriously.

As soon as these words were spoken, a more heated discussion broke out among the warriors.

"I told you, he's just talking nonsense to attract attention." The warrior in the short shirt questioned again.

"How boring!" another warrior shouted angrily.

"Boring? I just said it, believe it or not!" The young warrior seemed to have gradually adapted to the doubts of the warriors around him. He was only slightly angry and immediately regained his composure.

"Then let's bet on something! Do you dare?" The warrior in short shirt straightened his back and said again.

"I won't bet with you." The young warrior didn't care and was no longer angry about other people's doubts. He said lightly.

"What? Are you scared?" The warrior in short shirt became angrier as he spoke.

"Afraid? Well, that's what you said, but you have to accept the loss and don't say that I bullied you." said the young warrior.

"What are we betting on?" asked the warrior in short shirt.

"Hehe, since we're going to bet, let's bet on something interesting. How about the loser working for the winner for a year?" The young warrior looked at the warrior in short shirt and asked with a grin.

"Okay, it's a deal!" The warrior in short shirt agreed immediately.

……

Jiang Xuan on the side was speechless. He shook his head and looked around, trying to find the location of the warrior with number one badge.

But there are so many warriors wearing masks that it is really difficult to distinguish them.

"A small butcher in Southern Yunnan Province, with a short knife and a low profile..." Jiang Xuan muttered to himself as he touched his chin under the green hood.

Turning his head to look to the side, his eyes were fixed on two warriors not far away.

One of the two warriors was strong and the other was thin. Both wore masks and had a short knife hanging on their waists.

In addition to their body shapes, the two men actually have many similarities in terms of warrior characteristics.

Jiang Xuan stared at the two of them for a while, then closed his eyes and began to practice in his mind again.

Jiang Xuan had been practicing this kind of drill since he was a child. Later, under his father's guidance, the practicality of this drill increased greatly, and it could now be used in battles to hunt wild animals.

However, since Jiang Xuan entered the Heavenly Stage, as the warrior stage changed and his understanding of martial arts gradually matured, Jiang Xuan's practice method and results began to stagnate.

This stagnation once made Jiang Xuan feel very distressed and frustrated.

It was not until he received his father's instructions to leave Yingzhou and go to the Qixi Desert to look for shalan fruit that Jiang Xuan was able to put aside his frustration in his daily schedule.

However, just a few days before the Five States Martial Arts Show began, this situation actually improved to a certain extent.

Perhaps it was due to the experience of this trip to Qizhou, perhaps it was due to the training in the forest north of Qizhou City, perhaps... it was the past events and insights during his warrior stage that Mr. Sha occasionally mentioned and shared with him.

In short, after encountering a long bottleneck, Jiang Xuan's unique rehearsal method began to improve again and has reached a relatively mature level.

...After a while, Jiang Xuan opened his eyes tiredly and looked at the two masked warriors again.

"Sure enough, it's still too difficult." Jiang Xuan thought to himself.

After the rehearsal just now, Jiang Xuan roughly practiced the various possibilities and methods of responding to the attacks of short-sword warriors and breaking the opponent's defense.

What Jiang Xuan meant by "difficult" was not only the difficulty of the drill itself, but also the great difficulty of the virtual opponents in the drill.

The drill is difficult.

Jiang Xuan needs to consider the conventional attacks that the opponent warrior can launch with the weapons in his hands, as well as some unconventional attacks that he knows the opponent may launch, and find the corresponding primary and alternative defense plans.

Virtual opponents are difficult.

Jiang Xuan needs to set the opponent's strength during the drill. This setting is not random, but based on past experience.

In previous battles, Jiang Xuan had not encountered many warriors, and the only two who really fought for their lives were the fat man and the thin man.

Based on his experience fighting the Fatty and Thin, Jiang Xuan could easily incorporate their strengths into his drills. However, since Jiang Xuan was still at the early stages of the Heavenly Rank when he encountered the Fatty and Thin, his reference value was naturally limited.

Jiang Xuan discovered that if he substituted his current strength into the drill, even if the fat man had taken the Blood-Sufficient Pill and entered a pseudo-peak state, it wouldn't take too much effort to defeat him.

If the opponent's strength is not strong enough during the rehearsal, the difficulty of the battle will be greatly underestimated. Therefore, Jiang Xuan needs to set the opponent's strength as accurately as possible, or even slightly overestimate the opponent's strength.

But given Jiang Xuan's current strength, it is indeed difficult to set up an opponent of similar strength.

His current strength was at the eighth level of the Heavenly Rank, but none of the warriors he had fought seriously had strength at this level. Therefore, it was very difficult to set up such an opponent in a drill.

If the opponent's strength is set to that of Xu Huwei, the difficulty of the battle will be greatly overestimated due to his strength as a peak warrior, thus eroding Jiang Xuan's fighting confidence in the battle.

Jiang Xuan had no choice but to set the strength of the two short sword warriors to an advanced level slightly lower than their peak strength, and they defeated their opponents with difficulty during the drill.

However, although such exercises hardly consumed Jiang Xuan's physical strength, they greatly consumed his mental strength.

If it is the depletion of physical strength, it may be possible to recover in a short time with pills; but the depletion of mental strength is different, it is difficult to recover quickly with pills.

Everything has its pros and cons. By conducting drills and rehearsing the competition with the possible number one fighter in advance, the reaction speed in the battle will be greatly improved, and the rationality of the attack and defense will be greatly improved, thereby indirectly reducing the difficulty of the battle.

However, the difficulty of the drill resulted in a lot of effort, which was the price Jiang Xuan had to pay.

"If there is a way to quickly improve the relatively low mental state, combining the two will be an excellent way to fight." Jiang Xuan retreated to a location far away from the martial arts field, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes to rest.

……

"Number 17, advanced heavenly rank."

"Number one hundred and thirty, intermediate heavenly rank."

The two words from the female warrior once again ignited the enthusiasm of the warriors in the Heavenly Stage Group.

These two sentences were announcing that the relevant monks had confirmed the true strength of the two warriors participating in the martial arts performance and allowed them to participate.

While the female warrior was speaking, the two warriors had already stood at the two ends of the martial arts field, facing each other.
