Night fell.
After a great battle, the soldiers who had been marching for hundreds of miles had all finished their rations and fell into a deep sleep.
Meanwhile, Chu Li found a small hill and practiced archery under the clear moonlight. Here, the sound of his training would not disturb the rest of the soldiers.
Now, he had set a new training plan for himself. Relying on the extremely heavy divine arm carved bow and the steel spear, he had to draw the bow at least 500 times a day and shake the spear 2,000 times before stopping. And this was only the basic training. If he had enough time, he would practice fist techniques, spear techniques, and sword techniques. Almost every time, he would practice until his entire body was weak and powerless before going back to rest.
Ever since he had been taught the Primordial Chaos Three Emperors Scripture in his dream, the True Qi automatically generated by the Primordial Chaos Three Emperors Scripture had been nourishing Chu Yunfeng's body all the time. However, the effect of tempering his body with true qi became slower and slower as he grew. This extremely arduous extreme training method could allow the circulation speed of the Primordial Chaos Three Emperors Scripture's true qi to reach 150%.
He had just emptied a few pots of arrows when Yue Fei and Zhang Bao suddenly walked into the col.
Looking at the sweaty Chu Yunfeng, Zhang Bao couldn't help but sigh.""How can anyone else know that General Chu has trained to such a high level?”
Yue Fei smiled and replied,"It's well said in Zen Master Huang Nie's Ode to Enlightenment: Without a bone-chilling cold, how could the plum blossoms smell good?”
" That's true…" Before Zhang Bao could finish speaking, Chu Yunfeng had already heard the commotion. He put down the Divine Arm Precious Condor Bow and called out to the two of them,""Why are the two brothers here?”
Zhang Bao quickly replied," General Chu, General Yue was patrolling the camp just now. When he saw that you weren't around, he guessed that you were hiding here to secretly cultivate. He was afraid that you would be overworked, so he specially brought some food for you!”
"Thank you very much. I'm feeling hungry right now!”Chu Yunfeng didn't stand on ceremony. He looked around and pointed at a big rock." It's over there!"”
He put away the bow and arrow, walked to the big stone in two or three steps, and swept the dust off it. Then, he moved three smaller stones to serve as stools, and a temporary dining table was immediately set up.
Yue Fei smiled and placed the dried meat and a sheepskin bag of water on the big rock. Then, he sat down and advised,"Brother, there will be a big battle tomorrow. You have to save your strength. It's best to stop today's training. Otherwise, it won't be good if your hands and feet are weak from exhaustion!”
"Don't worry, Big Brother. I know what I'm doing!”Chu Yunfeng tore open the dried meat and swallowed it, enduring the dry taste. Then he continued," Didn't Big Brother see me recover from a knife wound or a gunshot wound in three to five days? His little brother's body was special. No matter how tired he was, he would be able to jump around after resting for four hours. Even if he was injured, it would only take a few days!”
Yue Fei thought about it and agreed, so he stopped persuading him. Instead, he sighed and said,"Brother is truly a natural born tiger general. With your help, it's your brother's blessing!”
"What are you talking about, Big Brother?" Chu Yunfeng shook his head and said," If it weren't for big brother's strategy, this little brother's ability would only be enough to help the Jin soldiers! This little brother doesn't have your god-like military strategy…"
"Haha!" Yue Fei shook his head and laughed loudly," With your intelligence, I don't believe that you would charge into the army formation alone if you weren't completely confident!”
"If I didn't have absolute trust in Big Brother's military strategy, I wouldn't have been so foolish as to challenge 3,000 soldiers!" Chu Yunfeng chuckled.”
"Oh right, I forgot to ask you!" Yue Fei suddenly said," How did you make that Golden Tooth suddenly look like he was the enemy who killed his father, chasing after you without letting go. I saw that he seemed to want to eat your flesh and drink your blood!”
"Well, it's like this…"
While eating and drinking, Chu Yunfeng described in detail how he killed Yinya Hu with a single shot, then killed four of his deputies, and how he killed sixty to seventy Jin soldiers with the method of "flying a kite".
This story of charging into the enemy's formation alone and killing in all directions made Zhang Bao's face turn red with excitement. Yue Fei was also fascinated, and in the end, he repeatedly praised Chu Yunfeng's martial courage.
After praising a few words, Yue Fei suddenly paused as if he had thought of something. He muttered to himself for a moment before saying hesitantly,"Brother, ever since we sparred that day, I had a vague idea in my heart, but I never mentioned it. Today, I'll just treat it as a casual chat.”
Chu Yunfeng was startled and smiled." Big brother, you've never been a shy person. If you have something to say, just say it!"”
Yue Fei nodded,"Brother, you once said: The Xingyi Fist was derived from the spear, while the Eight Trigrams Palm was derived from the saber. But now, you're only using spear techniques. Isn't that a waste of the Eight Trigrams School's saber techniques?”
"Not really!" Chu Yunfeng said blankly. Once the enemy gets close, your little brother will naturally use his saber. Big brother, it's not like you haven't seen your little brother's horizontal saber before.”
"That's different!" Yue Fei shook his head," As a general, how many chances do you have to get close to others on the battlefield? Once the enemy got close to you, it meant that you had encountered a great crisis. No matter how exquisite the saber technique was, it would only be icing on the cake! I want you to use your spear skills when you fight the enemy on horseback, and you can also use your sword skills?”
"Uh…how?"
"There is a way!" Yue Fei smiled lightly and replied with four words," Change the spear into a halberd!”
"Change a spear into a halberd?" Chu Yunfeng didn't understand.
"Not bad!" Yue Fei confirmed," A halberd is a combination of a spear and a spear. It has both a straight blade and a horizontal blade, which means that it has the piercing ability of a spear and the chopping power of a saber. It has the advantages of five weapons, and its killing efficiency is even better than a single spear, and saber. However, because the halberd was too versatile, it was difficult to learn and master, so it gradually withdrew from the battlefield and became a ceremonial weapon. However, if you pay attention, you will find that since ancient times, most famous generals who used halberds had the courage to fight against ten thousand men…The spear is like a snake hunting for prey. But the halberd is like a divine dragon from the nine heavens, paying attention to being fair and square, using force to defeat the enemy…Brother, you once said that your classmates are Xing Yi and Eight Trigrams, but you are more partial to Xing Yi. This is related to your personality. Your personality is as calm as water, and there is a little arrogance in your calmness. You have the style of a scholarly gentleman, so naturally, you are slightly resistant to the Eight Trigrams. This is because you prefer to defeat the enemy head-on and don't want to play tricks…Therefore, in my opinion, the halberd is the most suitable horse weapon for you!”
Chu Yunfeng was a little embarrassed by Yue Fei's evaluation.
Originally, his parents had died, his family had no property, and he was not a talented person. He had always hidden a trace of inferiority in his heart. Because of this, when his girlfriend decided to break up with him, he did not have any resentment. It was because he also thought that his girlfriend leaving him was not a bad choice.
However, after two years of bitter cultivation in the Sumeru environment and more than 700 days and nights of Qi cultivation and recuperation, his character gradually changed from inferiority to self-confidence, and in his self-confidence, there was a trace of "unusual" cold arrogance. This cold arrogance made it difficult for him to communicate with others. There was a vague distance between him and everyone, but it also made him feel like a gentleman.
Confucius said: A gentleman is like jade.
The Confucians believed that a gentleman should be respectful on the outside, tough on the inside, tolerant of others, strict with himself, and restrained in his brilliance. This was Chu Yunfeng's current appearance.
"Halberd…"
Chu Yunfeng was slightly moved. If it was a martial arts battle, Yue Fei's methods were definitely not comparable to his, but the matters on the battlefield were clearly more influential than his life in a peaceful era.
Since this big brother solemnly told him that a halberd was more suitable for him than a spear, then it should be quite true.
A halberd was a heavy weapon. It was different from light weapons such as spears and spears. It was complicated to use and had many functions. It required a lot of strength and skill. It could be said to be a combination of the advantages of light weapons and heavy weapons. The wielder of the halberd must have great strength and exquisite halberd techniques. Only in this way could the weapon's advantages be brought out. After mastering it, one could compete with hammers, boring, and other heavy weapons in terms of strength. One could also compete with spears, spears, sabers, and other light weapons in terms of technique. It was very practical.
However, if he were to really switch to a halberd now, he would really be a little hesitant.
Although the Xingyi Fist was based on the spear, it also included various weapon moves. The halberd was naturally one of them. Although Chu Li had never used it before, it was not that he did not know how to use it. It was just that he was definitely not as familiar with it as the spear!
Now that it was the eve of the great battle, how could he have the time to change his weapon and familiarize himself with the routine? Moreover, there was no suitable halberd that could replace the steel spear that Old Marshal Zong Ze had given him.
Chu Yunfeng was still hesitating, but Yue Fei smiled and said,""Brother, I won't hide it from you. I want you to change your spear to a halberd because I think you're suitable to use a halberd.”
Chu Yunfeng was puzzled." What selfish motives does Big Brother have?"”
Yue Fei sighed." Brother, you should know that I, Wang Gui, Tang Huai, and Zhang Xian are all disciples of my master, Zhou Dong. Zhou Dong's teacher was a learned man, skilled in both civil and martial arts. He was proficient in all 18 martial arts, but his best weapon was the halberd. It's a pity that our disciples are dull, and none of us can inherit the key points of our teacher's halberd technique. Our teacher often regrets this…I'm advising you to use a halberd because I want to find a successor for our teacher Zhou Dong so that our teacher's ultimate technique won't be lost!”
"So Mr. Zhou is good at using halberds!”Chu Yunfeng finally understood. He scratched his head and said hesitantly," Big brother, you've handed the most important inheritance of the sect to me. I'm naturally very grateful! However…the old marshal had just passed the steel spear to this little brother. If this little brother abandoned it, wouldn't the old marshal be angered to death?”
"Haha, brother, you worry too much!" Yue Fei laughed out loud," Old Marshal hoped that you and I would be able to charge straight into the enemy's territory and recover our land. It's not just a mere iron spear! If you can kill more Jin soldiers, forget about changing your spear to a halberd, even if you change to a rake, the old marshal will only praise you!”
"That's true…"
