Chapter 24 The advantage is mine
In the evening, Li Qi's cousin Li Zheng built a bonfire in the open space of the village and pulled out all his brothers and sisters, including Li Qi.

A group of young people gathered around the campfire, chatting about everything, and the atmosphere was quite lively.

Then Li Qi received a message from Li's mother, asking him to bring Chen Di out to play together.

This was just a small matter, and Li Qi didn't want to make his mother unhappy because of such a small matter during the New Year, so he did as he was told.

But the response I got was that I was busy with something and didn’t have time.

Li Qi sent the screenshot to Li's mother and forgot about it.

The so-called being busy and having no time is just a matter of lack of interest. If one is really interested, one can still make time even if one is busy fighting World War II.

But they are not the same kind of people, which is a good thing.

The matter came to nothing.

While they were roasting fire and chatting, Li Zheng came to the topic of who the heroes in the clan were, and he couldn't get over this matter.

The other brothers and sisters were obviously also interested in this and had different opinions.

Then, Li Zheng turned the topic to how regrettable it was that he accidentally lost the championship last year.

As he was talking, he even started to use a piece of wood as a knife to practice what happened in last year's competition. He said that if he hadn't been sick at the time, and his strength was weaker and he was slower, the situation would have been different.

Obviously, he still has not forgotten what happened last year.

Then he said that he would meet Li Youan again in three days. Even if he had not entered the country, he might still be able to defeat him. He was so excited.

Smart people are rational, but if they get too excited, that’s an exception.

The clan’s military test is usually scheduled on the fourth day of the first lunar month.

From the first to the third day of the Chinese New Year, many people visit relatives.

However, according to tradition every year, from the first to the third day of the Lunar New Year, Li Changqing would explain swordsmanship to the younger generation and provide guidance on their practice at the village martial arts field.

It is said that in his early years, Li Changqing would give a lecture every ten days or half a month, but now he rarely does so.

As for the reason, it is naturally because I am old and my energy is not as good as before. After all, explanations are usually accompanied by drills.

Many things about swordsmanship are difficult to convey simply by talking. Only by practicing and explaining at the same time can one convey some of them.

From the fourth to the sixth day of the first lunar month, it is time for competition within the clan.

As for the seventh day, Li Qi thought that this year he should hunt tigers.

This is a common practice. It is said that more than 20 years ago, traces of a tiger appeared nearby, and then it was beaten on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.

Of course, even if there were no tigers, there is a habit of group hunting in Lijia Village. After Li Qi turned twelve, he participated in it every year. It is said that it is to cultivate the bravery and courage of the younger generation.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Riding and archery are one of the six arts of Confucianism. All large families have the habit of cultivating hunting among their children. Prey is secondary. The main purpose is to kill and see blood, and to cultivate a spirit of bravery and perseverance.

By then, it will not just be Lijia Village that will be hunting, but also several large villages around it.

There were many villages in this area, but few large ones. In a sense, Lijia Village was a newly established large village, and the size of a village depended on whether it had a clan. Compared to those large villages that had controlled the local lifeline for hundreds of years, Lijia Village was still very young.

It was also because Li Changqing was very capable, otherwise it would be really difficult to take root in this place, because all the places were occupied by those who came first.

In a sense, the past was also a bloody period.

Now, several large villages, or large clans, organize hunting groups every year. On the one hand, it is to enhance the feelings of the younger generation of the clan, and on the other hand, it is also to show off their strength. For these inheritances, the most terrifying thing is undoubtedly the lack of successors.

However, in the past, although Li Qi started to use a longbow to train his strength at the age of twelve at the request of his family, he only used a weak bow for practice, not a strong bow. In addition, his swordsmanship was poor and his level was low, so he could only shoot at fixed targets. Hunting was not really his strong point, so he went to see the scenery every year.

Fortunately, someone had already explored the situation in the mountains and there were people watching over it, so there was no danger. In the past, we just treated it as an outing.

If you can get first place in hunting, there will naturally be rewards, but they are far less valuable than the big medicine.

As for using a longbow to train strength, it is not the same as practicing martial arts. It can only be regarded as used to strengthen muscles and bones, and does not involve the spirit. At the age of twelve, when the muscles and bones are initially stable, the foundation can be laid.

In this way, they kept warming by the fire until ten o'clock in the evening. Li Qi went home on time and then practiced with the sword. This time, he increased his proficiency by six points, which was a little more than before. However, after exceeding the limit four times, he still only swung seven swords.

It was another dreamless night. When Li Qi woke up the next day, he found that it had snowed again in the middle of the night.

As for the panel, it is indeed true that the three elements of spirit, energy and spirit are all increased by 0.01.
At the same time, Li Qi had accumulated enough life points. Because he was stronger, his life points would naturally increase by three points every day. After spending sixteen points to sublimate the entry of the root of the tongue into white and erase the negative effects, Li Qi's nerve reflex bonus officially reached 48%, and the negative effects, physical growth bonus, were also reduced to -7%.

However, compared with the previous direct increase to 46% of the nerve reflex speed, this 2% change is very small, but with Li Qi's delicate perception, he can still feel this improvement.

It is very subtle, but it really exists and is real.

After completing all this, Li Qi only had a little life left.

According to the current progress, if you want to sublime the last gray life root into white and erase the negative effects, it will take another seven days of accumulation. The greater the negative effects of the gray life root, the more lives are required for sublimation.

The last one requires a full twenty points.

Calculating the time, today is the first day of the new year, and I can achieve my goal on the eighth day.

After that, it was time to practice swordplay as usual.

According to his current situation, he will be 100% able to enter the country on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

Of course, with his current combat power, it would be easy for him to beat Li Youan, unless at this time, there is suddenly some peerless master, such as a saint, who gives Li Youan an initiation and passes on his skills to strengthen his spiritual martial arts. Otherwise, it would be really easy for Li Qi to beat someone who has just entered the country.

After all, after entering the country, the growth of basic attributes also takes a process. Although the speed is very fast, it is also measured in months.

Realm is realm, strength is strength. You can realize the realm in one day, but the growth of physical strength still has to follow the laws of physics.

What's more, entering the country does not mean becoming an immortal. This transformation can be said to be the smallest change in all the evolution of life.

Li Qi now has the tiger form and 48% more nerve reflexes, so he can fight against the senior people who have entered the country.

This kind of seniority does not mean giving up after entering the country, but rather it means constantly practicing hard, honing oneself, and becoming a master who has come a long way.

It was not until he had rested, taken a shower, and had breakfast, and the sun was already high in the sky, covering the mountains and rivers in red and white, that Li Qi changed into loose and thick clothes and walked leisurely towards the village martial arts field.
