Island.

Dawn.

It was still dark, and everything was shrouded in haze.

"Get up, go and practice martial arts!"

Ye Mo woke up early in the morning, got out of the tent, and dug up the few seabird eggs left from last night from under the campfire to fill his stomach.

Then he strode into the water near the beach, where he let the water submerge most of his body.

This is his habit of practicing martial arts, and every day before dawn, he begins to practice martial arts in the water.

Ye Mo held the Qingfeng Sword in his hand, firmly established himself in the sea water, and faced the waves that were surging in front of him.

The force of the waves is so great that it can easily overturn people. If a huge wave slams on your body, it hurts like being hit by an iron plate.

Seeing that a wave was about to swallow him.

At this moment, the Qingfeng Sword in Ye Mo's hand moved.

"The first type of "Cutting the Waves" is 'breaking the waves and chopping', breaking the ——!"

Ye Mo shouted, his arm suddenly exerted force, and the Qingfeng Sword instantly slashed towards the crest of the waves rushing towards him. A powerful force burst out in an instant, from the muscles of his arm, to the sword.

"Whew!"

A wave of half-foot high, flawless split in two, rushed past him, and not a drop of spray on the tip of the wave splashed on his body.

"Cutting the Waves", a low-level martial art.

Ye Mo has been practicing the sword technique of "Cutting the Waves" since he was eight years old, and he has been practicing it for a full ten years.

This is the salary he received for half a year as a boy for an inn in King Wu City, and he bought a low-grade martial art book at a small stall in the local market. This "Cutting the Waves" is even more low-grade than some other street martial arts secrets such as "Tiger Fist", "Eagle Claw", and "Praying Mantis Fist" on the stall.

The price of such a low-grade secret is naturally very low, and it is the only martial arts secret that Ye Mo can afford at that time.

The moves in "Cutting the Waves" are very simple, there are three levels in total, and there are only three moves.

Just now, what Ye Mo performed was the first form of the first level of "Breaking the Waves", which is the simplest first-level form of "Cutting the Waves". After that, there is also the mid-level move "Vortex Slash" and the high-level move "Wave Slash".

The move of "Breaking the Waves" is surprisingly simple, so simple that there is only one action - that is, slashing down with a sword in the water towards the waves in front of you, and slashing to the end, without any change of move.

Because the moves are so simple, they don't even change their moves. It is difficult to achieve results in a short period of time when cultivating, and the way of cultivation is too boring, and few martial artists are willing to cultivate such a secret recipe for a long time. "Cutting the Waves" has been denounced as a garbage martial art by countless beginner martial artists, even worse than "Tiger Fist" and "Eagle Claw Gong".

Ye Mo was only eight years old at the time, but he didn't understand this.

He bought back the secret of martial arts and began to practice excitedly.

He was in the small streams, waterfalls, and rivers of Wuguo, facing the waves of the river, and practiced the first type of "Breaking the Waves" day after day.

In the summer, he jumped into a cool stream and chopped the fish swimming in the river.

In winter, when the river froze, he shivered from the cold, broke a big hole in the ice, jumped into the icy river, and continued to cultivate.

Drink water when you are thirsty, eat fish when you are hungry. Young Ye Mo's physique relied on the fish in the river to supplement his nutrition.

At least 3,000 chops a day, nearly 100,000 times a month, more than 1 million times a year, and more than 5 million chops in five years, without a single day of interruption.

Ye Mo spent five years, and when he was thirteen years old, he forcibly cultivated the first form of the "Wave Chopping Technique" to the peak of "Breaking the Waves".

No matter what kind of fish swims in the river waves, as big as a puffer fish weighing more than dozens of catties, or as small as a small shrimp smaller than a soybean, when the sword goes down, everything will be leveled by the sword in his hand.

The true meaning of "Breaking the Waves" lies in the most concise way to give the enemy a fatal blow in an instant.

The first form of the first level of "Cutting the Waves" is very simple.

However, after five years and five million times of tempering, even the simplest martial arts move can exert incredible power.

After Ye Mo finished cultivating the first form, he began to cultivate the second-level mid-level "Vortex Slash". This pose is to form a vortex of sword power and slash around.

It was another five years, and when he reached the age of eighteen, he cultivated the "Vortex Chop".

After ten years of continuous hard cultivation, Ye Mo has practiced the first form of "Cutting the Waves" to the transformation realm, and the second form to the peak, and began to try to cultivate the most powerful high-level third form, the Wave Stacking Slash.

While cultivating the "Wave Chopping Technique", his physique was also greatly enhanced.

Ye Mo is now in the middle stage of the martial artist, that is, the sixth layer of the body refining stage.

The division of the martial arts refining period is very clear, and it is generally based on strength. An ordinary martial artist can stably exert a hundred catties of strength in the early stage of body refining, two hundred catties of strength in the middle stage of body refining, and three hundred catties of strength in the late stage of body refining.

Before going to sea, Ye Mo had tested his basic strength, and he already had two hundred catties of strength, as long as he broke through to the late stage of body refining, he would be able to have three hundred catties of strength.

"Two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine slashes. The third thousand slashes!

Ye Mo faced the surging waves, his body leaned forward slightly, his whole body muscles tensed, and his right hand clenched the hilt of the sword.

In the blink of an eye, the waves are coming.

When the waves were about to lap on his body, a cold light swept out, and with the sound of "pop", the waves were divided into two again, and did not fall on Ye Mo.

Immediately, he inserted the Qingfeng sword back into its scabbard.

The purpose of inserting the scabbard back is to cultivate one's speed of drawing the sword. Under normal circumstances, the sword of a warrior is in the scabbard, and when encountering a dangerous enemy, you need to draw the sword out of the sheath immediately, and the enemy will not wait for himself to be ready before attacking.

Out of the sheath, the sword in the hand falls, and the Qingfeng sword is returned to the sheath, all in one go.

For a whole hour, Ye Mo had been cultivating the first form of "Breaking the Waves", completing three thousand times a day.

Because the sword moves are surprisingly simple, all complicated moves have been removed, leaving only the most concise and powerful attack action of splitting. This sword has almost become his instinct.

The morning sun leaps out of the sea, revealing its first rays of dawn.

Ye Mo stood with his sword in the morning sun and waves, and his young face was extremely calm.

"The first type of wave breaking slash cultivation is finished, now practice the second type of vortex slash!"

Ye Mo took a deep breath, dived forward into the sea a few feet deep, completely submerged his body, and began to practice "Vortex Slash" on the bottom of the shallows.

"Vortex Slash" is a range of sword wound art that can simultaneously attack enemies within one kilometer of the caster, and this is a martial art move with multiple enemies.

He held his breath, holding the Qingfeng Sword in both hands, and slashed rapidly.

The resistance in the water will increase the difficulty of cultivation greatly.

However, once you can cultivate in the water, you can exert a very strong power when you perform the Vortex Slash on the ground.

"Woohoo!"

Gradually, Ye Mo's speed of rotation became faster and faster, and a white crack gradually appeared where the Qingfeng Sword came into contact with the seawater, and the crack became bigger and bigger as Ye Mo's rotation speed accelerated, and it seemed that it was no longer touching the seawater, and was cut out of the vacuum by the sword power.

At the bottom of the sea, a whirlpool centered on Ye Mo gradually formed, rotating faster and faster, and the surrounding dozens of feet of sea water rotated with it, surging towards Ye Mo, all of which were sucked into the soles of Ye Mo's feet by the whirlpool.

The cultivation of "Vortex Slash" is extremely difficult, and the key is to maintain an excellent balance when spinning the sword.

When Ye Mo first started cultivating this style, he felt like the world was spinning after a few turns, his head was dizzy, his steps were staggering, and he had to stop.

Just practicing the balance of spinning out the sword, Ye Mo spent nearly three months.

It took him five years to cultivate this second form to the pinnacle of proficiency.

Ye Mo sank to the bottom of the sea, constantly swinging out a whirlpool slash.

After half a column of incense kung fu, Ye Mo performed dozens of whirlpool slashes in one bite, his body was exhausted, his toes were a little on the bottom of the sea, and he suddenly jumped up, "Boom!" got rid of the strong attraction of the whirlpool, rushed out of the sea, and gasped for breath.

"Vortex Slash", the longer the whirlpool is formed, the more powerful it becomes.

Now, every time he finished practicing the whirlpool slash, the large whirlpool formed in the water could last for a full stick of incense before it gradually dissipated.

Another hour.

"I have already cultivated to the peak level of the beginner-level first-level 'Breaking the Waves' and the middle-level second-level 'Vortex Chop' of the 'Wave Chopping Technique'. But the high-level third-level wave slash has not been able to be cultivated for a long time!"

Ye Mo thought in his heart.

The third type of "wave stacking and chopping", as the name suggests, is like a big river wave sweeping waves, wave after wave.

This third form is actually an upgraded version of the first type of Wave Breaker, which combines two or even three wave breakers into one. So nominally it is the third type, but in fact it is still a continuous attack of the first type.

"Wave Slash" plays to the strongest level, can be in a very short moment of two consecutive slashes, three consecutive slashes, one slash is stronger than one slash, extremely fierce, once hit the opponent either killed or injured.

However, there are very few martial artists who can train the waves. And the martial artist who has practiced to the highest level of triple slashing is even rarer.

Ye Mo has practiced hard for ten years, and now he has not yet cultivated into a wave and two consecutive slashes.

Ye Mo vaguely remembered what the stall owner said to him when he bought this martial arts secret book.

"The mystery of martial arts is only four words - 'practice makes perfect'. ”

"One of the simplest martial arts moves, practiced 10,000 times is 'the move is too bad', rotten street goods. Practicing 100,000 times is 'skillful moves', and there is a small achievement. Cultivating a million times is 'pure love like fire', which can be called first-class. Cultivating five million times is 'reaching the pinnacle', super first-class. Cultivating thousands of times is the realm of 'turning decay into magic', and a generation of grandmasters is nothing more than that. ”

"Although this "Cutting the Waves" is a low-level martial art, it has eliminated all the fancy moves, leaving only the most concise and practical two styles. If any move is practiced more than a million times, it can reach the realm of perfection, and its power is more powerful than that of high-level martial arts moves. ”

"It's a pity that many martial artists dislike that the "Wave Chopping Technique" is too simple, the cultivation method is too boring, and they don't have any advantages in the early stage, and they don't have the patience to cultivate to the highest level at all. ”

Ye Mo didn't think too much, and practiced hard after taking the secret book.

He spent as long as ten years cultivating the "Wave Chopping Technique", day after day of penance, the first type of wave breaking slash practiced ten million times, and the second type of vortex slash practiced five million times, far exceeding the realm of pure fire.

"Whoa!"

With a wave of the Qingfeng Sword in Ye Mo's hand, two cold rays in a row, greeted a wave of waves, which looked particularly dazzling in the sun.

These two cold rays split the waves one after the other.

Look at the waves falling all over the sky.

Ye Mo knew that he had failed again.

The qi and blood strength of the sixth layer of his refining body was still not enough, and the speed explosion was not fast enough, and he still couldn't refine it into a wave slash.

The strength of a warrior is the foundation of everything, and without strength, it will not be able to explode with sufficient speed.

"Wave Slash" requires extremely fast speed, at least two consecutive hits in an instant, thus dealing twice the power and speed of the attack on the enemy at a time. Otherwise, it will be a simple "breaking wave chop", not "wave stacking two consecutive chops, wave stacking three consecutive chops".

Ye Mo was naturally unwilling, pursed his lips, and prepared for the next wave of slashing.

Another hour later, today's martial arts cultivation has already been completed, and he has not been able to refine the third type of wave stacking slash, but he is constantly proficient in the first two forms.

Ye Mo carried the Qingfeng Sword and left the sea with a tired body.

Although while practicing "Cutting the Waves", you can improve your physique. But after all, this is an external skill, and if you practice for two or three hours a day, you will reach the limit of what your body can bear.

"I've eaten up a few of the seabird eggs I baked last night, and it looks like I'm going to have to find some back. ”

Ye Mo touched his cooing belly.

The cultivation of martial arts is by no means something that can be completed overnight, and it is a difficult task to fill your stomach on this island, and you have to go to the island to see if there is a small stream and find some fresh water to drink.

Meat, dry food, and fresh water are all he needs to survive on this deserted island.
