Chapter Thirteen An Invitation
Chapter 13 An invitation
In the center of Yinren Village, the large mansion that is five in and five out still stands there. Three years have not left too many traces on this mansion.
Around the mansion, there were several teams of strong men from the village patrol. Each group was full of ten strong men, carrying a bark on their waists, wearing straw hats and straw raincoats.
Young people over 16 years old in the village, both men and women, will enter every position in the village after the end of "learning art".
Among them, most people who choose to learn literature will enter pharmacies, schools, shops or simply open shops to operate, while most people who choose to learn martial arts will enter the village’s defense system.
The village's defense system is roughly divided into sturdy men, guards, and Jedi guards.
Most of the martial artists who are over 16 years old will become a sturdy man, which is the so-called sturdy man.
And a very small number of excellent warriors will directly enter the guard iron suit.
The Zhuangren's engaging in the meeting will continue to hone himself by completing many tasks issued by the village. Generally, within six years of becoming a Zhuangren's engaging in the guard's iron clothes, they will pass the assessment.
Guard Iron-Yiyi is the backbone of Yinren Village. Each Guard Iron-Yiyi is a warrior trained by Yinren Village for huge resources. Their exquisite iron body armor specially made by blacksmiths is a proof of their identity.
The Jedi Guard is the strongest force in Yinren Village. He is selected from the many guards every year by the Three Olds Association. As of now, there are a total of six Jedi Guards in the entire village, three of whom are affiliated with the village chief, and the other three are the personal guards of the Three Olds.
Everyone in the Jedi Guards are a martial artist with great martial arts skills. Their duty is to break through the desperate situation when they are in desperate situations.
These Jedi guards always wore white hoodies and exquisite leather armor, hidden in some inconspicuous corners, and they also had another identity patrol team.
The Jedi Guards were one of the first members to form the mountain patrol team. Li Chengtao is the current leader of the Jedi Guards and captain of the mountain patrol team.

Yi Xifeng still wields one sword after another in the maple leaf forest, constantly waving, constantly repeating the three steps of drawing the sword, swinging the sword, and returning to the sheath.
The wooden sword in his hand was covered with scars, and the chaotic sword marks were covered with the wooden sword.
The white boy was covered with broken leaves, these were maple leaves cut by Yi Xifeng's sword energy.
Yi Xifeng learned the "Thirteen Swords of Chasing the Wind" three years ago with Li Chengtao. After more than half a year of special training, his physical fitness, both in terms of instantaneous speed and reaction speed, has been significantly improved.
The boy's body's ability to resist and recover, and finally barely met the minimum requirement of learning the "Thirteen Swords of Wind Chasing".
However, when learning sword skills, Li Chengtao and Yi Xifeng both discovered one thing: the Thirteen Swords of Chasing Wind emphasize concise and clear moves, and their body movements and moves are extremely fast, without extra movements.
The boy relies on the method of drinking to control his strength and constantly improves his reaction ability and explosive power, but he can barely use these moves.
However, the connection between moves cannot achieve the smooth effect of Li Chengtao using the Yin-Yang Double Wheel Technique.
Captain Chengtao once commented on Yi Xifeng's Thirteen Swords of Chasing Feng, "If you continue practicing like this, you will be considered a second-rate swordsman in the end." In fact, it is not necessary for young people to say that Bai Jing has already discovered the existing problems.
It was not until two years ago that Yi Xifeng successfully induced the sword energy from his internal strength that he slowly discovered the direction of his sword art.
The boy's alcoholic energy control technique mainly improves his physical recovery ability and adaptability. This also makes his internal energy deep and recovery speed far exceed that of ordinary people.
In other words, he can release more sword energy internal strength than ordinary swordsmen, or superimpose more sword energy internal strength.
The deep internal strength gave Yi Xifeng more sword energy and also gave him more room for practice.
From then on, in addition to asking Li Chengtao for advice on swordsmanship and following Li Chengqian to practice regularly, he would come to this maple leaf forest to practice sword energy for most of the time.
"Bang!" With a crisp sound, the wooden sword in Yi Xifeng's hand was broken into two pieces. This was the second wooden sword that Yi Xifeng used to break this month.
Looking at the broken sword in his hand, Yi Xifeng murmured: "It has been twenty days since the last time I used the broken wooden sword, and I have been persisting for two more days than the last time." Yi Xifeng smiled at the corner of his mouth.
A year ago, when Yi Xifeng first learned to control the sword energy and swung his sword, he used three wooden swords to break in one day!
The powerful internal energy is not easy to control in his body, and it is even more difficult to control after it is released into sword energy.
It is not as easy as saying that it is to distribute the sharp sword energy evenly on the surface of the wooden sword!
This is also the direction that Yi Xifeng has been constantly exploring for sword training in recent years. By evenly distributing the sword energy on the sword blade, it can enhance the power and sharpness of the moves.
This is why Li Chengtao's Wind-Chasing Shadow Slash was able to cut off a big tree that was embraced by three people with a wooden sword.
Looking at the broken wooden sword in his hand, Yi Xifeng knew that in the practice of swordsmanship, he still had a long way to go.
At this time, a dark boy came from the village north of the maple leaf forest. The boy looked almost the same age as Yi Xifeng, but he was taller and stronger than the Bai Jing boy.
The boy was surrounded by an animal-skin cloak, and there was a bear-skin bag around his waist. A pair of deer leather boots squeaked on the maple leaf ground.
In a blink of an eye, he walked closer and saw Yi Xifeng sitting alone under the tree practicing sword. He couldn't help but smile. He took out a straight iron knife from behind and walked towards the other party with a big sting.
Yi Xifeng actually discovered the other party when the dark boy walked into his 50 meters range. It was not that the boy's ability to detect was already fifty meters all over his body, but the dark boy did not restrain his breath at all, and even the sound of footsteps was not hidden.
"Crazy! How boring is it for me to practice swords by myself? Practice two with me!" The dark boy screamed strangely and slashed at the waist of the white boy with a knife.
Yi Xifeng supported the ground with one hand and touched another wooden sword that was separated by his waist with the other hand. At the same time, he turned around and kicked the opponent's knife handle, barely forcing the knife back.
The dark-skinned boy didn't care when he saw this knife easily being avoided by Yi Xifeng. He laughed and scolded and slashed him with another knife. The two of them were having a great time fighting.
Both of them were just moves and did not use much internal strength. Yi Xifeng just covered a wisp of sword energy on the wooden sword to resist the battle with the fine iron sword.
The dark boy had a deep understanding of swordsmanship. He opened and closed the swordsmanship in a long way, but he had a basis for advance and retreat. He never attacked the opponent's flaws. He just passed one knife faster than one knife, and one knife was stronger than one knife.
At first, the Baijing boy could use his fists and feet to resist the dark boy's attack, but after dozens of moves, both of them also showed their true skills.
Yi Xifeng's sword technique is even more bizarre. The sword moves are extremely simple, and they are the most basic chopping, slashing, picking, stinging, and twitching, but their grasp of the timing is extremely accurate, which puts a lot of pressure on the dark boy.
It was not until dozens of moves that the dark-skinned boy gradually stabilized the situation. The two of them had fought for nearly half an hour. The dark-skinned boy had taken off his cloak, revealing the dark red leather armor inside. Yi Xifeng's wooden sword also had several clear sword marks.
"Hahaha, when will Xifeng change to a good sword? Let's have a fight." The dark boy said with a smile.
"If you fight all your best, Heizi, you will lose in the first fifty rounds." Yi Xifeng smiled slightly.
Looking at the best friend in front of him, Yi Xifeng felt very happy when he was angry at his words!
This dark boy was Yi Xifeng's first friend Lin Fenghuo after he came to this world.
In three years, not only did Yi Xifeng grow into an excellent martial arts boy, but Lin Fenghuo's progress is no worse than Yi Xifeng.
Lin Fenghuo was quite angry, but he laughed again in a flash: "It's really difficult to beat you in the first fifty rounds, but it's much easier after fifty rounds."
Bai Jing Shao frowned his beautiful brows lightly, then smiled bitterly, and said, "Well, that's true."
After fifty rounds, Lin Fenghuo's sword force was initially achieved. It was basically impossible to defeat Lin Fenghuo head-on with Yi Xifeng's current strength.
It is also difficult for him to defeat the nimble young man. However, Yi Xifeng's weapon is currently a wooden sword. The two of them fought for hundreds of rounds, and in the end, Yi Xifeng's weapon was destroyed and defeated.
The two have been friends since childhood. After this battle, they have some insights. They just chatted and walked towards the village to the north.
"Xifeng, have you heard of it? The beginning of the New Year, our village will hold a martial arts competition." Lin Fenghuo said with a gossip.
"Martial Arts Competition? What is that?" Yi Xifeng asked with a heart-warming move.
"The Wushu Competition is a grand event held every three years in Yinren Village, and it is also an assessment." Lin Fenghuo laughed.
"Assessment?" Yi Xifeng looked at Lin Fenghuo and asked.
"Yes, usually when we complete the arts at the age of twelve, we will follow the seniors in the village to train for a few years, and then when we are sixteen, we will enter the village to engage in the training. They will be assessed every three years, and those who pass the assessment can be promoted to guard iron clothes. Each male has two chances, which means that the assessment must be completed within six years. Otherwise, they will be removed from the list." Lin Fenghuo took out a date from his waist and stuffed it into his mouth.
He found that Yi Xifeng was still looking at him and continued, "The Wushu Competition is the main way of this assessment. Of course, in addition to assessing the Zhengjun, the village also wanted to discover new talents through the Wushu Competition. In the past, martial arts boys under the age of 16 participated in the Wushu Competition and were admitted to the Zhengjun in advance, and some even went directly to the guard iron uniform!"
Yi Xifeng heard Lin Fenghuo say that he could be admitted in advance and he couldn't help but lit up and asked, "Then how to participate in the Wuhan University Competition?"
The young man smiled and said, "I knew you would definitely want to participate too. Then, this is an invitation to the Wuhan University Competition. It was given to me by coach Cheng Qian. He asked me to send you a copy and asked me to bring you a message."
Yi Xifeng narrowed his eyes and glanced at Lin Fenghuo, and said curiously: "Say."
Lin Fenghuo didn't pay attention to Yi Xifeng's expression, touched his head and said, "The horse is free. If you can't stand it and can't help it, let the grass and mud horse gallop out!"
Yi Xifeng widened his eyes, stared at the dark boy for a moment.
Lin Fenghuo also stared at him and muttered, "Uh, that's what he said..."
The two of them were silent for a few seconds with big eyes...
Under Yi Xifeng's strange eyes, Lin Fenghuo couldn't help asking: "What do you mean by coach? I'll point the grass and mud horse to you and encourage you to participate in the competition?"
"Get out! He is the grass mud horse! His whole family is!" Yi Xifeng shouted nervously.
"Oh? Well, I don't think you need to encourage me, you would have participated, hahaha..." The boy laughed heartlessly.
Chapter completed!
