Chapter 111: Practicing physical skills and training with rookies
"Bang bang..."
"Boom..."
"Little Bean Sprout, you must be more decisive when you shoot. Don't hesitate for even a moment!"
In the front yard of this landlord's mansion, Li Dingguo was sparring with Xiao Douya and Hongmei.
Facing the attacks of the two, he easily neutralized the opponent's moves one by one, and from time to time he gave instructions, "Look at Hongmei, when she attacks the enemy, she is much more decisive than you, without any hesitation."
"On the battlefield, the enemies won't show mercy like I do. They will kill you without hesitation!"
"Your strength is far more than that. You haven't even used 50% of your combat power. I guess you can't even beat an ordinary genius warrior of the same level now!"
He mercilessly pointed out Xiao Douya's immaturity in battle, "If you don't want to be killed by the enemy, you must kill them!"
"The key points of Thunder Gun Technique are speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness!"
After instructing Xiao Douya, he said to Hongmei, "Hongmei, your spear skills are already very good. You should be close to mastering them. You are also very decisive in attacking. But what you lack is murderous intent! The belief that you must kill the enemy!"
"I know that you are fighting me, so I have no intention to kill you!"
"But as a warrior, as long as you are fighting, you must have the belief that you will win, so that you can turn decay into magic and quickly improve your combat effectiveness."
"Especially when using a bow and arrow to kill an enemy, it is more important to have the confidence that you will hit the target with one arrow."
"Without enough self-confidence, you will never become a true archer!"
"Any archer has to have the spirit of "no one else can do it better than me" and enough self-confidence to be able to achieve the goal of "eyes and heart, heart and arrow, and hit the target every time with an arrow!"
"Okay, let's stop and take a rest."
Li Dingguo fired two shots casually, deflecting the attacks of the two men, then put away his gun and stood still.
"Well, Brother Dingguo, I'll remember it and work hard in the future."
"Yeah, me too. I will correct my mistakes quickly."
Hongmei and Xiaodouya said to Li Dingguo what they had realized as soon as the battle ended.
Not only were they not stupid, but they were extremely smart. After a little thought, they realized their current shortcomings: insufficient practical experience and having never killed an enemy with their own hands.
Only by regarding the killing that a warrior must experience as normal can one change one's previous mentality as quickly as possible.
In fact, all newly minted warriors must have these shortcomings, which Li Dingguo had experienced before.
That is why Zhang Xianzhong ordered the young men to fight in the barracks and continue to receive practical combat training.
Start by killing monsters and ghosts, then move on to killing people on the battlefield.
After this series of killings, Li Dingguo's mentality has completely changed, and he has become a warrior who kills without blinking an eye.
"It's hard to improve your progress quickly if you just practice your skills normally."
Li Dingguo thought about it for a while, and then made a decision, saying, "Cao Yongxiang and I will stay here for the next two days and do our best to guide you girls who have become warriors to practice various martial arts techniques."
"How about this, today and tomorrow morning, everyone will practice various skills in this courtyard."
"Today and tomorrow afternoon, Cao Yongxiang and I will take you out for some actual combat training."
"Although you don't have enough people now to train the military killing formation, you can still practice some basic military formations, such as the small three talents formation, the small four symbols formation, the small five elements formation, etc."
"I will try my best to bring back a few war horses for you. As for riding skills, you should also practice them as soon as possible and become proficient in them."
He looked up and saw Cao Yongxiang, who was instructing seven other warrior girls on the other side of the courtyard. He then waved to Xiao Douya and Hongmei, asking them to come closer.
Then he took out two secret manuals of martial arts from his arms.
These two martial arts secret manuals were none other than the "Cloud Dragon Nine Revolutions" and the "Suzaku Burning Sky Scripture", two advanced martial arts secret manuals obtained from the eldest son of the Tian family.
The advanced body movement secret book "Yunlong Jiuzhuan Gong" is also an urgently needed skill for Li Dingguo and Cao Yongxiang.
Li Dingguo is already very good in other aspects, the only thing he lacks is body skills, and he has not practiced any professional body skills secrets.
Even Zhang Xianzhong did not have this kind of advanced skills.
Fortunately, after the battle of Tianjiazhuang, this problem was solved in time.
Ai Nengqi had already asked Zhang Xianzhong, and just as Li Dingguo had expected, Zhang Xianzhong also obtained two identical copies of the secret manuals of martial arts through seizures in the battle.
"Xiao Douya, Hongmei, you two should sit down first."
Li Dingguo motioned Xiao Douya and Hongmei to sit cross-legged opposite him, holding two secret books and said to them, "These are two advanced martial arts secret books that you urgently need. One is for body movements, and the other is for the martial arts that you two will temporarily focus on."
"I have already read them once. Now the two of you take turns flipping through them and try to memorize the contents of the secret book as well as possible."
After saying that, he handed the two secret books to Xiao Douya and Hongmei respectively.
"Oh, I'll start looking through them and try to remember them."
"Me too, I should be able to remember it quickly."
Xiao Douya and Hongmei quickly agreed and each took a secret book and started reading it carefully.
Li Dingguo recalled the contents of the two secret books that he had memorized, sat quietly on the ground, and silently tried to understand them in depth.
Advanced exercises are not that simple, you must understand them thoroughly and accurately before you can start practicing. Otherwise, it will be difficult to get started.
But for Li Dingguo, whose mental power far exceeds that of warriors of the same level, this is basically not difficult at all.
About a quarter of an hour later, when Li Dingguo had a thorough understanding of the two books of martial arts, Xiao Douya and Hongmei closed the secret books in their hands almost at the same time, closed their eyes to recall for a while, and then opened their eyes almost at the same time.
This shows that the two people's mental strength and learning ability are almost the same.
Although he has not reached the level of photographic memory, he is comparable to Enengqi.
"Okay, I will now explain these two exercises to you after I understand them, so that you can have a deeper impression of them."
"Next, you can try to practice and see if there are any mistakes or omissions. You can correct them in time to avoid practicing the wrong method and leaving hidden dangers."
Li Dingguo then began to talk, starting with the Yunlong Nine Revolutions, and slowly explained to Xiao Douya and Hongmei his understanding of the two advanced exercises in detail.
The three of them then discussed with each other and, after repeatedly proving some of the professional terms to be correct, they concluded the process of learning and understanding the advanced skills.
The time spent on this was so long that before I knew it, an entire hour had passed.
Even with the monstrous IQs of Li Dingguo, Xiao Douya, Hongmei and the others, it still took them such a long time to learn and understand.
This shows that it is not easy to get started with any advanced skills.
At this time, Cao Yongxiang also came over with seven other warrior girls.
Cao Yongxiang had enough patience to help these girls correct the difficulties and mistakes they encountered in practicing various skills in recent days.
Li Dingguo then called everyone together and began to teach them these two advanced skills.
Unlike the classic-level techniques which have strict prerequisites for practice, anyone who is a martial artist can practice any classic advanced technique.
As long as you have enough understanding and resources to practice, you can start practicing it.
As for the results of cultivation, it depends on each person's qualifications and talents.
By the time all the warriors on the scene understood the two advanced martial arts secrets under Li Dingguo's explanation, it was already noon.
Hongmei and Xiaodouya quickly got up and took the girls away to help those girls who were unable to become warriors and prepare lunch together.
There is no shortage of food and other supplies here now, so Hongmei has already ordered everyone to implement three meals a day.
Everyone here is a young boy or girl who is in a stage of rapid physical development, so it is very necessary for them to supplement adequate nutrition.
Half an hour later, everyone had eaten and drunk their fill.
After cleaning up the kitchen and tableware, everyone gathered in the meeting hall of the mansion to rest for a while, and Li Dingguo immediately stood up.
"Cao Yongxiang, you and these girls who are not warriors stay here and take care of the house."
He said to Cao Yongxiang who looked up at him, "This afternoon, I will take Xiao Douya and other freshly trained warriors to the nearby area for some actual combat training."
"Some time ago, I found a remote village about 20 miles southwest of the area. It was occupied by evil spirits after being massacred."
"Judging from the concentration of Yin energy gathered there, that group of evil spirits should be only slightly stronger than the ones we killed last time, but not much stronger. At most there will be one or two level 2 ghost leaders, which will not pose much threat to me."
"I was in a hurry to return to the city and didn't have extra time, so I didn't kill them."
"Now that we have used up all the soul beads in our hands, it is a good opportunity to harvest a batch of them, so as to avoid the interruption of the nourishing soup, which will greatly hinder our cultivation progress."
He had long wanted to harvest a batch of soul beads, but unfortunately he was not strong enough before and did not have enough time, so he had been delayed until now.
Now is a good opportunity to take Xiao Douya, Hongmei and others out for some practical training to solve this urgent problem.
In that remote village that was massacred and occupied by evil spirits, there should be one or two level two ghost soldiers.
The nourishing soup prepared using the second-level soul beads is extremely important to Li Dingguo now.
Only in this way can he break through to the third level of martial arts in a short period of time and become a veritable third-rate top general.
At that time, he was confident that he would win against any enemy at the third level of martial arts if he fought alone.
For Li Dingguo now, it is not easy to deal with those enemies who have reached the fourth level of martial arts cultivation.
His current young age had a great confusing effect on the enemy's masters.
Even if he were to face the elite government troops in the near future, as long as he did not stand out on the battlefield, the other side would not be able to send out masters of the Qi Refining Realm to deal with him specifically.
As for those enemies who are at the third level of martial arts, there is nothing to be afraid of as long as they do not form a powerful military formation to attack.
Later, after arranging the rest of the day's affairs, Li Dingguo said goodbye to Cao Yongxiang, who was in charge of looking after the house.
He took Xiao Douya and the other nine other warrior girls, left the small village fully armed, and walked quickly towards the southwest.
Orphan girls like Xiao Douya and Hongmei are about to start their first practical experience in their lives.
They also know that if they want to continue on the path of a warrior and go further, they must be ruthless and overcome the tests of killing again and again.
Otherwise, they would have no future at all, and even their right to live would soon be deprived by the government troops.
They might even die without a complete body and be eliminated early in this chaotic world.
