Chapter 7: Three-Section Staff

  "You're calling me?" Lin Wu looked at the man in front of him who gave him a strong feeling and said.

  "Good job, kiddo." Blake smiled as he looked at the young boy with a childish face.

  Lin Wu was taken aback and said, "Nothing, if you want to survive, you must work hard." This point Lin Wu had already deeply experienced from his memories as a teenager.

  "Good." Breck clapped his hands after hearing Lin Wu's words.

  "So today I'll give you a chance." Breck said, getting up and picking up a finger-thick branch from the side, pointing it at Lin Wu, "As long as you can make me move one step, I'll teach you the technique of fighting with internal energy."

  "Really?" Lin Wu's eyes lit up when he heard Brek's words. The Qi Gong technique was what Lin Wu needed most now, without it his skills couldn't be fully utilized. The Divine Ghost Force could almost fully utilize his skills, but Lin Wu didn't want to expose this unless absolutely necessary, otherwise the consequences would be endless pursuit and killing.

  "Come on, little guy, I don't need to use my aura." Blake said with a smile.

  Upon hearing this, Lin Wu gripped his long sword tightly. This was an opportunity for him, and he absolutely did not want to give it up.

  Taking a deep breath, Lin Wu suddenly rushed towards Blake. Since swallowing the small snake's green residue, Lin Wu's agility had increased dramatically.

  "Bring it on."

  Lin Wu approached Breck, his long sword rising from below to above, aiming at the branch in Breck's hand. However, Breck lightly swung the branch and tapped it onto the back of Lin Wu's sword, easily blocking Lin Wu's attack.

  "Linked thrust!"

  Lin Wu didn't stop because his attack was blocked, as he knew the opponent wouldn't be hit so easily. At the same time that his long sword was blocked, Lin Wu's hand shook and the direction of the sword in his hand changed, stabbing straight at Blake.

  That 20% hit rate was Lin Wu's confidence, and indeed, when facing Lin Wu's thrust, Blake's face couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise. However, Blake swung the branch and struck it on the sword, Lin Wu's thrust increased his hit rate, but not his evasion, so the long sword he stabbed out was easily struck, this time the impact sent a powerful force through the sword, numbing Lin Wu's tiger mouth.

  He took a few steps back, and Lin Wu finally dissipated the force, feeling the immense power. Lin Wu suddenly felt that he was really weak, "If I'm like this, what face do I have to say anything about protecting her." A sense of despair arose in Lin Wu's heart.

  "How disappointing, little guy. You're giving up already? It seems you can't withstand the test either. How will you protect your loved ones in a world of strong people like this?" Breck shouted, seeing Lin Wu's appearance.

  Upon hearing Breck's words, Lin Wu was as if struck by lightning. The phrase "How can you protect your loved ones in this world of strongmen?" pierced deeply into his heart.

  "I will definitely protect her." Lin Wu said in a low voice.

  As he spoke, Lin Wu suddenly took a step forward, and this step was so mysterious that it crossed several meters in an instant, and Lin Wu appeared in front of Blake.

  "A single slash." Lin Wu's heart lightly shouted as he swung his long sword.

  Bleach saw Lin Wu suddenly appear and was shocked in his heart, "What a mysterious martial skill." At the same time, Bleach quickly turned around and dodged Lin Wu's attack.

  But...

  "Two-Stage Slash!"

  Lin Wu brushed past Blake's side, suddenly turned around and took a step back, and the next moment Lin Wu's figure came from behind Blake.

  "Crack!"

  Bleak stared at the remaining section of the branch in his hand, the original branch having been severed by Qin Le's previous slash. He had also taken a step back to avoid the attack that came from behind him.

  "It succeeded." Lin Wu exclaimed with delight.

  "Not bad, kid. You're not bad at all." Breck gazed at Lin Wu with a look of approval, "However..." As he spoke, Breck's face suddenly turned stern, and with a flick of his wrist, the tree branch in his hand shot out towards Lin Wu, carrying a hint of radiance.

  Looking at that faint glimmer of light, Lin Wu's heart skipped a beat, "Aura!!"

  "Block!"

  The next moment, Lin Wu raised the long sword in his hand and blocked it in front of him.

  "Really?!"

  With a crisp sound, Lin Wu suddenly retreated several steps, and the long sword in his hand had already broken off. "This is the power of Dou Qi!" Lin Wu muttered to himself, but his eyes were filled with excitement, as he was about to come into contact with this mysterious power soon.

  "Cough cough, Captain, you don't have to take revenge on that kid even if you lost." John couldn't help but clear his throat as he saw Blake use his aura to teach Lin Wu a lesson.

  However, Breck didn't think so. He was the most aware that this amount of infuriating energy could only make Lin Wu suffer for a few days. Apart from the revenge mentality caused by losing face, it was more to prevent Lin Wu from becoming complacent due to his victory. But when he saw Lin Wu actually block this attack and retreat a few steps without anything else happening, he couldn't help but feel a strong sense of curiosity.

  "Mysterious little guy, these martial arts are indeed very profound." Breck muttered.

  "Uh, that..." Just then, Lin Wu's voice came through as Brek was lost in thought.

  "Don't worry, I'll keep my promise to you." Blake said with a smile.

  "Heh heh." Lin Wu dryly chuckled twice.

  "Wait a moment, come to my carriage." Breck said, and then he got up to arrange the next journey.

  After a brief rest, the team set off again, and Lin Wu also hurriedly rushed to the carriage where Breck was, which was given by the merchant group to Breck. The strong always have privileges.

  "Come on up," Breck said.

  Arriving on the horse carriage, Lin Wu sat quietly at one side, expecting Blake to bring out his powerful Dou Qi technique.

  Seeing Lin Wu's scorching gaze, Blake shook his head and took out two books from his bosom. "I have two manuals for Qi cultivation here. One is the primary upper-level manual for Qi cultivation, and the other is the primary lower-level manual for wind-attribute Qi cultivation. Which one do you choose?"

  "Which one of you can tell me about the levels of Dou Qi?" Lin Wu asked without choosing hastily.

  "It can. The Dou Qi Gong Fa is divided into four levels: primary, intermediate, advanced and super. Each level has three stages. The primary stage is relatively common and numerous, but the intermediate and above are extremely rare, especially the advanced and super stages which are like phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. The higher the cultivation method, the faster the Dou Qi's quantity and promotion speed will be, even the recovery speed of Dou Qi is related to the Gong Fa. Therefore, a good Dou Qi Gong Fa is priceless for every swordsman." Breck explained.

  "What about this wind attribute Dou Qi method then?" Lin Wu asked, because he found that Blake cherished the primary lower-grade wind attribute method extremely, far surpassing the primary upper-grade method.

  "Because ordinary Qi cannot directly cultivate attribute Qi, attribute techniques can directly cultivate attribute Qi. A swordsman with attribute Qi is several times stronger than a swordsman of the same level without attribute Qi." Breck said: "Moreover, attribute Qi is also related to the key to becoming a great swordsman."
