Transmigration begins with archery training

"Your cultivation level is still too low; there's not much point in practicing at this stage."

"Even if you master it, you can't use the two techniques at the same time in actual combat. You only have one brain, how can you do two things at once?"

"At most, it's just one long weapon and one short weapon, to prevent being helpless when the enemy gets close. That's probably your idea too, right?"

"It is."

Chen Sanshi did not deny it.

However, he quickly connected some pieces of information in his mind.

Those who have no hope of breaking through to a higher realm.

This statement also includes the former Governor-General Sun.

It wasn't until after the fifteenth year of the Longqing reign that Commander Sun suddenly broke through to the level of the legendary Martial Saint.

Is this related to his sword practice?

Of course, this is just speculation at the moment.

The so-called Martial Saint is still too far away.

Let's try practicing swordsmanship first.

"That's it!"

Chen Sanshi accepted the Diancang Sword Technique.

"what ever."

Wang Zhi added, "With a foundation in cultivation level, you can cultivate other techniques faster, but how fast depends on your aptitude and comprehension."

"Thanks!"

Chen Sanshi wasted no time.

He began practicing swordsmanship that very day.

The Haoran Breathing Method is universal.

All you need to learn are stance training and sword techniques.

I still remember the first time I learned martial arts, it took me almost ten days just to be able to perform the stance training and moves smoothly.

Now I'm learning swordsmanship.

He only took half a day!

[Technique: Diancang Sword Technique (Beginner Level)]

【Progress: 0/50】

[Effect: None]

A beginner proficiency level of only fifty?

Chen Sanshi attempted formal cultivation.

The result was faster than he had imagined.

Basically, your proficiency will increase significantly every time you practice a complete set of sword techniques.

At this rate.

It only takes one day.

After one day, you will be able to get the basics of swordsmanship.

"What a fine sword!"

Chen Sanshi held the Zhenyue Sword with great affection.

This legendary sword cannot be measured in monetary terms; it is truly priceless.

"What a waste of money!"

"I heard that the Ninth Prince was taken directly to the capital."

This is a good thing.

If the Ninth Prince stays in Poyang.

The barbarians will definitely continue to increase their troops, and higher-ranking generals are also indispensable. Xiang Tingchun alone cannot hold them off.

The Ninth Prince has now been taken away.

If the Yuwen family wanted more people, they would have to turn to the emperor.

Of course, this does not mean that Poyang is safe; on the contrary, its fate remains uncertain.

The Xihe tribe had at least five thousand soldiers, possibly more.

For the thousand people in the thousand-household office.

Even the defending side is under considerable pressure.

Defenses began to be strengthened both inside and outside the Great Wall.

The great battle is about to begin.

Poyang is in a state of preparedness, both inside and out.

Not only were the soldiers extremely busy.

Ordinary people could not escape corvée labor.

The Great Wall on the border has been under construction for nearly two hundred years and requires maintenance every year.

With a major battle imminent, it is even more necessary to reinforce the weak points.

The Great Wall stretches for two hundred miles.

The manpower of the thousand-household garrison alone was far from sufficient, so we had to rely on the people.

"Uncle Laizi, have something to eat."

Chen Sanshi was assigned to supervise the construction and led Wang Li to deliver meals to the villagers.

This kind of temporary corvée labor didn't even include meals.

The people have no choice but to do it.

Otherwise, the barbarians would breach the city and leave no one alive.

"The steamed buns smell delicious! Stone, now that you're a high-ranking official, you must have been embezzling quite a bit of money lately!"

The bald man took it and started gnawing on it without saying a kind word.

"presumptuous!"

Wang Li angrily retorted, "You scoundrel! The magistrate kindly sent a commander to provide you with food, and you don't even know how to appreciate it?!"

"A dog's mouth cannot spit out ivory!"

The other villagers immediately began to curse and spit on him.

"You bald-headed bastard, go to hell!"

"Yes, dying at the hands of barbarians outside the city is a fitting end for you!"

"..."

Chen Sanshi ignored him, leaving Wang Li to watch over things, and went about his own business.

He had Xiang Tingchun transfer the grain from the warehouse.

Without the cooperation of the people, the difficulty of such a defensive battle would increase dramatically.

How can you expect a horse to run without feeding it?

The grain reserves of the thousand-household garrison are enough for six months, so it's alright to distribute a small portion to the people.

The granaries of various local gentry and martial arts masters were overflowing with grain, waiting to sell it at a higher price in winter.

If that's not enough, then rob a martial arts school.

Return to the barracks.

After practicing spear techniques for two hours with the help of Linghe's medicinal properties, Chen Sanshi began practicing swordsmanship.

Diancang Sword Technique

It is divided into three parts in total.

The part he possesses can be cultivated directly to the level of refining internal organs. It consists of thirteen sword techniques, each with a total of seventy-two variations. There are no particularly obvious characteristics. If one had to point out a characteristic, it would be that it focuses on killing. Every move and every stance is designed to kill.

The Zhenyue Sword hummed and trembled in Chen Sanshi's hands, sometimes as fast as a sudden storm, sometimes as slow as drifting clouds. Each sword strike contained the ever-changing momentum of the wind and clouds, majestic and powerful, capable of splitting the wind and tearing the clouds.

[Technique: Diancang Sword Technique (Beginner)]

【Progress: 0/50】

[Effect: Ambidextrous fighting, rapid mastery of Kendo]

Ambidextrous fighting: multitasking, wielding two weapons simultaneously, and leveraging one's strengths to compensate for one's weaknesses.

[Sword Mastery in Speed: Below the physical realm, swordsmanship is incredibly fast and unimpeded]

Kendo mastery in a flash!

Even after getting started, my proficiency level is still only 50.

In other words, as long as one does not exceed their own level of attainment, breaking through is as simple as eating and drinking.

In this way...

The concern that Wang Zhi had mentioned about delaying his marksmanship training was completely unfounded.

more important.

It's ambidextrous fighting!

Normal people cannot do two things at once.

Chen Sanshi practiced an extra short weapon simply to deal with special circumstances, so that he wouldn't be helpless against enemies who could get close. It was better than fighting empty-handed.

However, if both techniques can be used simultaneously, a qualitative change will occur!

Sometimes, the effect of one plus one is far greater than two!

The spear, as the king of all weapons, has only one drawback: it is too long. It is only because his spear skills are so superb that no one has been able to get close to him yet, but that doesn’t mean he won’t be in the future.

Being able to use both swordsmanship and spearmanship simultaneously can completely compensate for this.

Chen Sanshi tried it on the spot.

The Zhenyue Sword and the Luye Spear in his hands were as if controlled by two people, and two people with perfect tacit understanding.

Especially the Zhenyue Sword.

Holding the sword in my left hand didn't feel awkward at all; on the contrary, it felt quite natural and comfortable!

"Speed ​​up!"

Chen Sanshi held a gun in his right hand and a sword in his left.

In just two days and nights.

He advanced the Zhenyue Sword technique to the point of mastery of the Blood Refining Technique, making his internal blood and qi even more abundant, and his progress in spear techniques was not affected.

"Master Chen."

Zhao Kang found him and said, "Go to the main tent. I have something important to tell everyone, Commander Xiang."

Central military camp.

All the households were present.

In addition, Magistrate Xue, Prefect Ji, and even Sun Li and Sun Buqi were also present.

Xiang Tingchun glanced at Feng Yong, indicating that he could begin.

"Yes!"

Feng Yong pointed to a spot twenty miles outside the Great Wall on the sand table and said, "Two days ago, I was ordered to go out of the city to conduct a new round of reconnaissance. I discovered that the barbarians have begun to set up camps here one after another, and I have received accurate intelligence that they will attack Poyang in five days at the latest."
