Alan threw himself onto the iron bed, and the boy didn't even have the strength to move a finger. From afternoon to evening, he repeated the basic movements of the String Moon under Ron's guidance. A simple leg sweep took a full day of practice, but it didn't meet Ron's requirements. It is foreseeable that in the coming days, this boring action will accompany Alan for a long time.

The fighting skills in the army, "Ten Dozen", if you break down their movements, are so simple that even ordinary people can use them. But to practice each movement thousands of times, it is far from being able to do it with the perseverance of ordinary people. In the case of Ron's String Moon, there is a strict requirement for the speed, accuracy, and power of the attack.

If you don't reach this value, then it's a simple leg sweep.

What's more, the essence of the moon is not yet in the action of sweeping the legs, it is important for the user to maintain the center of gravity of the body at all times. It is also necessary to find the balance node when your attacks alternate, and at that time, it will be the real Quarter Moon.

Having mastered the technique of the String Moon, it extends to the weapons used. Seeing the weapon as an extension of the body, and thus applying the skills of the String Moon to the slaughter, Eren is qualified. It is precisely because of this that more than ten dozen are fist and foot attacks, but because of their full malleability, they are known as the soul of a qiē combat skill.

Looking at the roof, Allen's eyes were a little numb. Now the three of them are assigned a separate room, which is a standard higher than the previous treatment, and the room is still built with iron arches. In addition to the iron bed, there are several simple pieces of furniture such as wardrobes and tables and chairs. Slaughter leaned against the corner of the bed, black as an inconspicuous iron rod.

There was a sudden knock on the iron door, and then a girl called outside, "Are you there?" Allan. ”

Alan was a little surprised, it was Merry. The third girl who lit the fire was older, a girl who was already fourteen years old, was doing well. The appearance is not outstanding, but a pair of long legs always attract the attention of instructors and soldiers.

The teenagers rarely talked to each other, especially Alan, who was so engrossed in his own training. Not to mention a girl like Mei Li, even a boy can't say a few words. He was very strange, what was Merry doing now coming to him?

Opening the door, Merry flashed in. The girl pinched the corners of her clothes with both hands uneasily, her eyes drifted over the black steel broadsword, and her breathing became slightly heavier. Then he smiled wryly, "I guess you just came back." ”

Eren had never been so close to a girl, let alone in the same room. In fact, a child of his age should have understood the things between men and women a long time ago. It's just that Allen's life after the age of five basically has little to do with humans, so he lacks knowledge in this area. He just instinctively felt nervous, and at the same time wondered how he was so calm in the face of the gray storm ape, how could he be nervous about a merry who didn't seem to be threatening?

He sat down on the bed, lowered his head to hide the strange feeling in his heart, and blurted out, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”

Merry walked over, sat down beside him and said, "I want to be your partner." ”

"Partner?"

Eren looked up and almost touched Merry's face. He hurriedly retreated a little, and the girl nodded and said, "That Mao, I hate him." So you see, maybe we can join forces so he doesn't have a chance of winning. ”

The girl paused, and then said, "My idea is simple, I just want to live. I've inquired and we'll have an exam in two months. When the time comes, only one person will be able to leave alive. If we join forces, it shouldn't be difficult to take out Mao. ”

Alan frowned and said, "What next?" ”

"I'll get out of here, and then you come back to the barracks and report that I've been killed by you. Although I lit the fire, I used three Initiation Potions, and according to the instructors, I would only live for another ten years at most. So any chance to change my fate is of no use to me. I just thought, get through the rest of the day, it's as simple as that. Merry looked at Alan with clear eyes.

After a full 1 minute, Alan whispered, "You shouldn't sue me for these ......"

"No, I really want to be your partner. I can help you, I can do it, I can make you happy......" Merry gently grabbed Alan's hand and placed it on her lap.

It's the first time Alan has touched the girl's skin, and although Merry's skin isn't smooth because of the training, it also gives the boy a strange feeling. As Merry took his hand and explored deeper into the base of his thigh, Alan had a gut idea of what was going to happen next.

Just as the temperature of the tin house was gradually rising, Ron's voice suddenly sounded outside: "Merry, you get out of here." I know you're in there, and it's best not to challenge my patience. ”

Mei Li's face changed, and she hurriedly ran out of the house. Then there was a loud slap and Ron's scolding. Alan came out of the door, and Merry had covered her face and walked away. Looking at the second lieutenant, Ron was looking back with a malicious smile, "You should thank me, little ghost. Otherwise, you probably won't have the strength to continue training tomorrow. ”

"Now get me back to bed and sleep, and stop thinking about women. What you have to think about is how to survive. To live, there is power, what woman does not have. Ron looked in the direction in which the girl had disappeared, "As for her, she's just a little bitch." ”

For the next month, Alan repeated a variety of boring workouts every day. The happiest time is two hours of meditation, which is one of the ways to exercise the source power. At present, there are two main ways to temper the source force, one is meditation, which consciously manipulates the source force in the body to carry out regular movements, which can achieve the effect of enhancing them. In this process, if the mind is precipitated enough, it can also enter the depths of the genes and be triggered from the source force in the potential; The second way, which is the easiest and most dangerous at the same time, is fighting.

This method is called "fighting to nourish war", which means using battle to cultivate combat power. When people are fighting for life and death, their spiritual will will be highly concentrated. At this time, the speed of the source force is ten times or even a hundred times that of the meditative state, so after every death match, the strength of the surviving people will always skyrocket.

Of course, it is not feasible to use only one of the two methods purely, and only by combining the two is the most conducive way to tempering the source power.

A month later, Eren was finally able to meet the most basic requirements of the Quarter Moon. He blew the tin doll's head with a kick in an instant, barely up to the mark with speed, strength, and accuracy. So Ron asked him to start practicing with Slaughter, and the action was still the same move, but with a different weapon, but the difficulty increased exponentially.

However, with the foundation of the previous exercises, this time it only took Alan half the time, and he was able to sweep out a standard string moon with slaughter. At this time, a large amount of practice and meditation training allowed Alan to condense three source force vortices.

On this day, Ron began to instruct Eren on the advanced techniques.

All Alan needs to do is find and master the balance between the attack articulation, which Ron calls the breath of battle.

"Just like our normal breathing, there's a delicate balance between exhaling and inhaling, which keeps the air in your lungs at a level. Finding the right balance between your attacks will also allow you to breathe as smoothly as your fight. The more fluid your attacks are, the fewer flaws, which means you'll have more time to overpower your enemies. Remember, fighting is all about suppressing, finding the right moment, and killing with one hit. Don't use those superfluous actions that don't play a decisive role, we are warriors, killers, not entertainers on stage! ”

From this day onwards, Allen's strength and conditioning sessions were halved. The extra time was spent practicing the advanced techniques of the Quarter Moon, and he continued to practice every day until he was exhausted, and Ron allowed him to leave the class. And since that wonderful night, Alan hasn't said a word to Merry. Occasionally, I nodded and said hello.

When Allen's skills were improving by leaps and bounds, Mao and Mei Li were not idle, and the three teenagers were conducting their own targeted training. Two weeks have passed in a blink of an eye, and Alan has also figured out a little bit of experience, he can already use the slaughter to slash out five consecutive moons. This means that once he has the opportunity to attack, the opponent will have to wait for him to slash five times before he has a chance.

If Allen's source power is deeper and he is more proficient in the use of skills, then the number of consecutive slashes can be improved. When he can slash more than 100 swords in a row, then he has mastered a relatively popular combat skill: Qianyue!

A person who can skillfully use Chizuki is enough to be a second lieutenant in the regular army, just like Ron.

On the last day of the fifth month, on which the three teenagers did not have to do anything, they were given a precious day off. They can do anything but not be out of camp. And tomorrow, they will usher in the final and most critical assessment of the training camp.

The three teenagers will be thrown into the forest behind the camp, and they will have to kill two of them for the next three days to be allowed to leave the camp.

Tomorrow is a battle of life and death, and it is also related to your next fate. Alan was not idle, he still went to the air defense hall and continued to hone his skills using the tin puppet. As for Mao and Merry, they locked themselves in a tin house and went crazy for a day. It seems that after interrupting Ron that night, Merry shifted her target. She and Mao are on the line, which means that tomorrow Alan will face a combined attack from the two.

Before the sun set, Alan left the air defense hall. In the hall, there are several dolls that have been cut to pieces. On one of the dolls, there are seven rifts of the same length and depth. Ron smiled as he looked at the cracks. Allen's technique has taken another step, with two more slashes, which equates to a 30% increase in power.

And this time it only took one day, and Ron looked forward to this white-haired boy more and more.

After a night's good sleep, Alan woke up when the morning light was light on outside the window. He picked up the slaughter in the corner, his fingers running across the cold blade. Then he raised his head, and there was a fiery battle intent rising in his bright red eyes!
