Chapter 296: Fusion of Boxing Techniques, Obtaining the Acala Fist
With the contribution to the master, Zhao Ya can finally enter the second floor of the library.
When he handed the contribution card to the guard at the second floor door, the guard recorded it neatly and wrote down the current time.
"Remember, the secret book inside can only be read, not copied, and can not be taken privately. If you violate it, you will be severely punished." The guard reminded.
"Understood." Zhao Ya nodded in response.
"Go, deduct two points of contribution to the master every hour, and the time starts from now, so time is precious and cannot be wasted." The guard reminded.
The contribution card to the master needs to be temporarily placed with the guard. Zhao Ya stepped up the steps and pushed the door to the second floor.
What he saw was still full of books, and its scale was not smaller than that of the first floor.
Zhao Ya did not dare to delay, and went straight to the boxing area, then selected a book from the shelf and read it eagerly.
While Zhao Ya was working hard on the second floor of the library, the great elder Guan Xuejiang and Guo Luming were drinking and chatting in the secret room on the top floor of the library.
"Hehehe." Guan Xuejiang laughed while drinking.
Guo Luming looked helpless, "Can you stop laughing like that? You're making me a little nervous."
"I'm not happy, you don't know how I felt when I heard Xia Jiye was forced to apologize to Zhao Ya in public. It was so refreshing." Guan Xuejiang said with a smile, and then drank another big bowl.
Guo Luming's focus was not on this. He said with some distress: "You should drink sparingly. This is the old wine I have stored for 20 years. How can it withstand your drinking like this."
"Oh, senior brother, why are you so stingy? I'm happy today. Can't I drink two more cups?" Guan Xuejiang said.
Guo Luming stopped persuading him.
In fact, he also knew that the reason why Guan Xuejiang was so excited was entirely because he was too depressed before.
Although he is the Grand Elder of Canglong Temple, many of the elders of Canglong Temple have died or retired since the war of division, and the power of the Grand Elder has been severely weakened.
Let alone other things, the martial arts hall is controlled by a group of elders, and Guan Xuejiang has no way to intervene even if he wants to, and can only let them do whatever they want.
Of course, you can also forcibly replace the elders of martial arts, but the problem is that there are only a few people who are qualified to serve as the elders of martial arts, and these people have long become an offensive and defensive alliance. It is the same if you replace someone.
Guan Xuejiang had thought about letting Qin Jianji, a principled person, serve as the elder of martial arts, but he was resisted by the joint resistance, and finally it could only be left unresolved.
Although Guo Luming has been hiding in the library, he knows these things very well.
This is also the reason why Guan Xuejiang insisted on eliminating the accumulated problems before, because the contradictions within Canglong Temple have been very serious. If he doesn't find a way, there may be another war of division one day.
Guan Xuejiang naturally understood why his senior brother was silent. In fact, as people who had personally experienced the chaos of that year, they were deeply touched by the current situation of Canglong Temple.
"Senior brother, I have been thinking about it for many years, and I didn't realize it until recently. I think the reason why our Canglong Temple is in decline seems to be due to the war of division, but now I don't think so." Guan Xuejiang sighed.
"Oh? What do you think?" Guo Luming asked.
"I think the war of division is just the result, not the cause. Long before this, the contradictions within the sect had already intensified to an irreconcilable point, so the occurrence of the war of division is natural."
Guo Luming was silent.
Guan Xuejiang drank another glass of wine, "Let's not talk about anything else. The dispute between the inner and outer sects at that time had already shown signs. In fact, there were many outstanding talents in the outer sect at that time, but most of them were lost because of the unfair rules, such as Lu Dingtai who taught Zhao Ya the Vajra Fist."
"After I went back, I checked and found that although this person's realm was not high, he showed extremely high talent in practicing boxing. Such talents should have been the focus of the sect's training, but they were ignored and neglected, and eventually left."
"This is because the Canglong Temple was too powerful at that time, so that when these outer disciples left, they thought it was because of their poor cultivation and poor talent. Otherwise, they would inevitably incur a lot of resentment, and it would be even more impossible for outstanding talents like Zhao Ya to come and surrender. Don't you think so, senior brother?"
Guo Luming smiled bitterly when he heard this, but did not respond.
"In fact, sometimes I really envy you, because you know everything, but you are only willing to devote yourself to the library and be a building guard elder. I am not like me, who was forced to be the chief elder, but ended up being nothing." Guan Xuejiang sighed again.
Guo Luming finally spoke, "In fact, the situation in Bei Canglong is not better than ours, and it is even more serious. After all, the elders who rebelled back then were all for profit. Such people will quickly grow into a new interest group and are difficult to shake."
Guan Xuejiang nodded, "I know, but this does not mean that we don't need to work hard in Nan Canglong. In fact, since I told you last time to eliminate the accumulated problems, I have been thinking about how to start during this period. As a result, I found that there are so many things to do, and it is really difficult to find a good entry point."
Guan Xuejiang said what was in his heart.
The comfortable life of these years has made many elders not want to make progress. They only want to stick to their own one-third of an acre of land and live a small and nourishing life, completely ignoring that the foundation of Canglong Temple has long been crumbling under such erosion.
As the Great Elder, although Guan Xuejiang was saddened by this phenomenon, he didn't know how to start.
Although in terms of force, except for those retired old people, their brothers and sisters can sweep the entire Canglong Temple together.
But the problem is that if you really do that, then Canglong Temple will completely exist in name only.
They can't be the only two elders left in such a large sect.
And if things get really desperate, these elders can do anything. If there is another rebellion, or even colludes with Beicang Long, who has been eyeing them, the situation will be even worse.
Guan Xuejiang racked his brains for this, but never knew what to do.
Until today, when it came out that Zhao Ya and Xia Jiye were tearing each other apart, and Xia Jiye was finally forced to apologize in public, Guan Xuejiang couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he felt that he finally had some clues.
That was the real reason he was so excited.
Guo Luming knew this very well and couldn't help but frown and asked: "So you want to use this Zhao Ya to break the situation?"
"That's right."
"Regardless of Zhao Ya's talent, just because this kid dares to confront Xia Jiye and deliberately shows weakness before asking him to apologize in public, he is definitely a talent that can be made." Guan Xuejiang said.
"But don't you think this is unfair to Zhao Ya? After all, he is only a fifth-level warrior now, and he can't even open a pulse, but you want to involve him in the dispute between us elders." Guo Luming said. .
"I understand what you mean. I don't intend to use Zhao Ya as a spearman. On the contrary, I will provide him with the greatest resource support during this period, such as letting you, senior brother, teach him personally."
Guo Luming was exasperated, "You gave him resources and support, but in the end you asked me to teach him?"
"Hehe, can't you? Don't say you don't want to, don't I think you also appreciate this child?"
Guo Luming didn't say anything, "It's okay to teach him, but what are you going to do next?"
"The inside of the sect has become difficult to recover, so I plan to start from the outside first. I have not been idle during this period, but have been planning to rebuild the outer sect. Now it is almost ready, and it will probably be rebuilt in a while. If it succeeds, then we can recruit outer disciples.”
Guo Luming nodded, "Okay, you did a good job in this regard."
"There is no other way. Only by adding enough fresh blood can we break away the already solidified interest groups." Guan Xuejiang sighed, and then stood up.
"Okay, it's time for me to go."
"No more drinks?" Guo Luming asked.
"No more drinking. There are still many things to do."
As he spoke, Guan Xuejiang opened the window and disappeared in a flash.
Guo Luming looked at the direction he left with mixed feelings in his heart.
In fact, Guan Xuejiang never drank alcohol before, but since he became the great elder, he has become more and more greedy.
Guo Luming knew that what Guan Xuejiang liked was not drinking, but the state of being completely relaxed when he was drinking.
After all, when he was outside, he was the powerful elder of Canglong Temple. Although this position was glorious, it also gave him unlimited pressure.
Thinking of this, Guo Luming couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He felt that he was hiding in the library for peace and quiet, but leaving his junior brother to run around outside. This seemed to be a bit unethical.
That’s all.
Let's see if I can give my junior brother more help this time.
Thinking of this, Guo Luming went downstairs. When he reached the second floor, he saw Zhao Ya who was immersed in the ocean of martial arts.
Guo Luming didn't bother either.
After all, the second floor is different from the first floor. The time here is bought with the teacher's contribution. Any interruption is a waste.
He found a seat and began to sit down and drink tea.
After waiting like this for a whole day, until it was getting very late, Zhao Ya suddenly woke up.
"Have you finished reading?" Guo Luming's voice came from behind.
Zhao Ya put the secret book in his hand back on the bookshelf, turned around and saw Guo Luming looking at him with a smile.
"Well, I've finished reading."
"How's it going? Did you gain anything?"
"A lot has been gained, but there are also a lot of problems." Zhao Ya answered honestly.
"Oh?" Guo Luming raised his eyebrows.
"It just so happens that I have nothing to do today. Let's go down to the first floor first, and then let me hear what you have gained and what problems you have."
Zhao Ya followed Guo Luming to the first floor. After calculating the contributions of his teachers, there were only 190 points left.
But only 90 points are actually available, because when it drops below 100 points, you are no longer qualified to go to the second floor.
Zhao Ya once again realized the preciousness of his teacher's contribution.
It was getting very late at this time, so there weren't many people on the first floor.
Guo Luming found a quiet corner and listened to Zhao Ya describe his harvest before speaking.
"Well, I can see that you really paid attention to it, so what is your problem?"
Zhao Ya didn't hide anything and told all the puzzles he encountered while browsing the boxing records.
Guo Luming answered them one by one.
You must know that with Guo Luming's attainments in boxing, it is not an exaggeration to describe him as having a commanding position.
So Zhao Ya could often explain the difficult questions in just a few words.
Half an hour later, after hearing the answer to the last question, Zhao Ya felt an unprecedented clarity in his heart. The feeling of having all his questions solved was very refreshing.
He bowed deeply to Guo Luming from the bottom of his heart.
"Disciple, thank you for your teaching, Elder Guo."
"Hahaha, I have nothing to do, and you are a very talented kid, so I just gave you a few pointers. There is no need to do this."
Zhao Ya didn't say anything else, just nodded, and then left.
Looking at his back, Guo Luming touched his chin, and for the first time he had the idea of accepting a disciple.
There was no way.
The talent shown by Zhao Ya was indeed amazing.
Apart from other things, the questions he asked just now were not something that ordinary warriors could ask.
Only when you have a certain understanding of the boxing theory can you think of it.
No wonder Guan Xuejiang chose him.
Zhao Ya didn't know this, and at this moment, he was rushing to the courtyard where he lived.
Because of today's harvest and Guo Luming's advice, he had many new ideas, and Zhao Ya couldn't wait to try them out.
Soon, after returning to the courtyard, Zhao Ya closed the gate, and then took out a piece of eighth-level dried meat seized from Hei Yunzi, and carefully put it into his mouth.
The surging blood and essence were continuously absorbed into the body, and Zhao Ya then began to practice.
First, the most proficient Five Tiger Fist, then the Great Vajra Fist, and finally the Little Arhat Fist taught to him by Guo Luming.
Zhao Ya's speed of practicing boxing was not fast, and every move could be seen very clearly.
And there was not much noise when punching, and there was not even much fist wind.
But the more so, the more solemn Zhao Ya's face became.
Gradually, Zhao Ya's boxing became more and more elegant, and the three sets of boxing that were originally different also showed signs of merging together.
Zhao Ya felt neither sad nor happy, and practiced slowly according to his own understanding.
Suddenly.
Zhao Ya's mind was suddenly shaken, and then he felt that his whole body was suddenly enlightened.
That feeling was like driving through a dark tunnel and suddenly rushing out.
A series of prompts appeared in front of him.
[Five Tiger Fist proficiency increased by 18%]
[Great Vajra Fist proficiency increased by 19%]
[Small Arhat Fist proficiency increased by 88%]
[Boxing skills began to merge...]
[Boxing skills merged successfully, and the Acala Fist was obtained]
