Chapter 39: Heavy Water Training Method

  Chapter 39: Heavy Water Training Method

  It occurred to her that although Song Qingchu greatly admired Linghu Chong for obtaining the swordsmanship of Dugu Qiubai's "Dugu Jiu Jian", she also yearned for this set of sword techniques known as the destroyer of all sword techniques in the world. However, regarding her own idea of putting internal strength training first would never change.

  After all, the Dugu Nine Swords are good, but this swordsmanship has extremely high requirements for enlightenment, which is similar to Longxiang Porei Gong, but it's even more demanding. After all, practicing Longxiang Porei Gong can still rely on external forces, while Dugu Nine Swords are purely a test of one's own enlightenment.

  Secondly, the martial arts are not necessarily unattainable. The martial arts in Song Qing's hands, such as the Great Power Golden Finger, the Great Power Golden Palm, the Wudang Sect's Reversal Soft Swordsmanship, and the Thirteen Swords of the Divine Gate, although they may not be comparable to the Du Gu Nine Swords, are all superior martial arts. Once mastered to a high level, they may not necessarily be inferior to the Du Gu Nine Swords.

  Moreover, there is no absolutely invincible martial art in the world. It's like asking Linghu Chong to use his Dugu Nine Swords against Zhang Sanfeng and see if he can break through Zhang's Taiji Swordsmanship?

  Song Qing thought to himself, setting a goal for himself, and then analyzed it in his heart. "Linghu Chong's Du Gu Nine Swords may be good at breaking through the world, but it's not suitable for me. There is no strongest martial art in the world, only the most suitable one for oneself. In the past, Yang Guo, the Divine Eagle Hero, also inherited the sword magic, but did not practice Du Gu Nine Swords. Instead, he understood the heavy sword without a sharp edge, and found the most suitable heavy sword technique for himself, thus dominating the world. This is surprisingly similar to myself now."

  Although I don't necessarily want to practice the heavy swordsmanship of Yang Guo, the Eagle Shooting Hero, in martial arts, apart from the heavy sword being unyielding and clumsy, there is another saying that goes: "Under the heavens, all martial arts can be defeated, only speed cannot be broken." Moreover, I have obtained Dugu Qiubai's three-foot green sword for practicing swift swordsmanship; isn't this fate?

  "As long as I'm fast enough, the enemy can't hit me while I can hit them, and that's already a winning position. When the enemy makes one move, I can make seventeen or eighteen moves, so it's naturally an easy victory. And speed is something that can be quickly improved through conscious training, at least faster than relying on internal power. Alright, decided! From now on, I'll focus on strengthening my speed training. Not only will I practice more lightness skills to increase my movement speed, but also train my attack speed."

  Song Qing Shu had decided on his future development direction, and began to think about how to improve his speed and what methods would be more effective in training. After thinking for a while, Song Qing Shu suddenly had an epiphany and came up with two ideas.

  This first one originated from his own practice in the Sword Demon Valley, where he practiced swordsmanship in the water. After coming out of the water, not only did his swordsmanship improve greatly, but he also created a few moves and even increased his speed by several folds.

  The second one is of course carrying a heavy load. This method has been widely used in later generations, and the effect should also be tested.

  Of course, there is another way, that is to cultivate the mind of fast sword, but Song Qing thought and thought, only one can think of, that is "Bixie Sword Spectrum", however, thinking about the opening two sentences of "Bixie Sword Spectrum": To practice this skill, you must first castrate yourself. Song Qing couldn't help but feel a chill, and hurriedly threw away the idea in his mind.

  Song Qing Shu combined all the ideas he thought of, which was to borrow from the heavy load and water training methods. First, he loaded himself with weights, not just on his ankles but also on his wrists. No sandbags were used this time, instead, iron blocks were directly attached. Normally, people would start with sandbags and later switch to heavier iron blocks. But Song Qing Shu already possessed martial arts skills, so he could directly use the heavier lead blocks. Then, in a loaded state, he practiced his swordplay in the water.

  If he can still achieve his normal speed in water with iron weights tied to him, then once the weights are removed and he is out of the water, his speed will surely increase greatly. Moreover, tying iron weights on while practicing swordplay in water not only trains speed but also trains strength. Because one must use force to resist, so as not to be affected by the weight, after a long time, once the weight is removed, one's strength will naturally increase greatly. Just think about how Yang Guo of The Return of the Condor Hero cultivated his Heavy Swordplay and you'll understand.

  Of course, apart from these two benefits, there is another benefit, which is also very helpful for one's own practice of Longxiang Porei Gong.

  This is a method with three uses, one training method that can simultaneously train speed and strength, and also train the body. Song Qing Shu couldn't help but secretly praise himself for thinking of this wonderful idea, and even thought of a name, called "Weighted Water Entry Training Method".

  But to be honest, this can't be considered his own idea. This method obviously already existed, he just picked up the wisdom of his predecessors and thought it was suitable. It has to be said that this is the advantage of a time-traveler, having a vast amount of rich experiences. In an era where information was overflowing, even if one didn't pay particular attention, many things would still be touched upon more or less.

  Song Qingchu thought of this training method and was very pleased. He glanced at Zhou Zhiruo, seeing that she was still practicing Wudang Mian Zhang with great care, so he decided to wait until she finished before going down the mountain to make a purchase. As he continued thinking there, his mind suddenly wandered, and he thought to himself: "Actually, it's not limited to just wrists and ankles, arms and legs can also be bound, and even the waist can be bound too. I'll start by binding my wrists and ankles first, and when I get used to it, I'll gradually increase the weight."

  After Zhou Zhiruo finished practicing Wudang Mian Zhang again, Song Qingyu didn't return to Zi Xuan Palace. Instead, he took Zhou Zhiruo down the mountain to the town to buy all the necessities.

  On the way, Zhou Zhi Ruo asked, and Song Qing Shu didn't hide it from him, telling him everything. Of course, he didn't say that he had learned it from a novel on the internet in his past life, but just said that he thought of it himself. After listening, Zhou Zhi Ruo said she also wanted to train like this. Since she wanted to, Song Qing Shu naturally agreed and would buy an extra set when they went to town. He only reminded her that as a girl, especially since she was still young now, she should focus on sandbags for the time being.

  When they arrived at the town, Song Qingyu asked someone to forge suitable iron blocks. However, the blacksmith told Song Qingyu that lead was better, as it had a heavier weight than iron for the same amount of metal. Since the blacksmith said so, Song Qingyu naturally accepted his words. He also bought some cloth bags for Zhou Zhiruo to fill with sand.

  On the same day, Song Qing bought all the equipment and had a special cloth belt made to tie the lead blocks. When the time comes, there is no need to trouble going to bind, just plug in the lead block and it will be easy to increase or decrease the weight, very convenient.

  On the second day, early in the morning, Song Qingchu tied four special cloth strips around his two wrists and two ankles, then inserted lead blocks into the straps on the cloth strips. As soon as the lead blocks were inserted, Song Qingchu immediately felt that he couldn't lift his hands or feet unless he used force.

  At first, it was extremely uncomfortable. After all, if you were to carry hundreds of pounds on your back and still live like a normal person, you would also be unaccustomed to it.

  However, Song Qingchu was not an ordinary person after all, and he gradually got used to it. His daily activities did not stop, whether eating, walking, or practicing martial arts, all of which were done with it on. Only when sleeping at night would he take it off, and the next day he would put it back on again.

  After such a period of time, Song Qingxue put down his heavy load, came out of the water, tested his lightness and speed, and indeed made great progress. Song Qingxue secretly felt that he had gained something, and naturally continued to persevere.
