Chapter 10: Spring Breeze Tactic

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Tao Jinglu looked at Xu Ning and Tao Qingping, who both hadn’t said a word.

“No uncle.”

Xu Ning and Tao Qingping shook their heads at the same time.

Xu Ning really didn’t have any questions in his heart. Tao Ye and Tao Qingfeng’s questions basically covered his own questions.

“If that is the case, go back and practice the Spring Breeze Tactic.”

Tao Jinglu said, “On the tenth day of each month, if you have any questions about the cultivation of your internal skills, you can go to the training grounds, and there will be village elders to help you. This is different from Gale Knife training. If you feel that your cultivation is going smoothly and stably, you don’t need to ask for help. After all, the key to cultivate internal skills depends on the individual..”

“Also…”

Tao Jinglu divided the remaining pages of paper and placed them in their hands.

“This is your reward.” Tao Jinglu said, “This is a voucher to go to the armory to receive your weapons. If you practice a knife technique, ask for a knife. If you practice a spear technique, ask for a spear. Got it?”

“Understood.”

The four people responded in unison. They were all in high-spirits.

After all, everyone would begin a new chapter in their martial arts practice.

“Okay, dismissed.”

Tao Jinglu patted his sleeve.

“Yes uncle.”

They bowed at the same time.

After leaving the old clan church, the four of them went to the armory. They followed Tao Jinglu’s advice and each took their own weapons.

Xu Ning took a steel knife because he was practicing the Gale Knife Technique.

Afterwards, the four went their own ways.

Xu Ning did not go home immediately, instead he went to the accounting office first.

He followed Tao Yunmeng’s instructions and obtained the five taels of silver paid by his brother-in-law.

Although five taels of silver did not seem much, it was worth half a month of his family’s income.

Although Xu Ning did not have a certificate in his hand while withdrawing the money, after explaining the reason with the accountant, the accountant did not give him any trouble.

The accountant could easily verify this with Tao Yunmeng later.

If Xu Ning was lying, the price he had to pay would definitely be much greater than the five taels of silver.

After taking the silver, Xu Ning returned home.

He took some time to receive the rewards, so it was already past lunch time, but Xu Lian and Tao Yunchuan left a meal for Xu Ning.

“Brother-in-law.”

Xu Ning entered the house with a steel knife.

“You’re back…” Tao Yunchuan sat on the bench and said, “Go eat first…”

Tao Yunchuan and Xu Lian both saw the knife behind Xu Ning’s back, but didn’t think much of it.

He just thought Xu Ning had brought the training knife back.

Xu Lian spoke.

“Go eat and take a break after lunch, you still have to train in the afternoon…”

Xu Ning put the knife down and sat on the seat. “Sis, Brother-in-law, I don’t have to go there this afternoon.”

“Don’t have to go?”

Xu Lian and Tao Yunchuan were puzzled. “What’s the matter? The instructors don’t want you?”

The two of them assumed that since Xu Ning had been practicing by himself, he was discharged by the instructor.

Xu Ning saw the two of them panic, so he quickly said, “It’s not that. It’s just that the instructor said that I have practiced enough and that I have passed the assessment criteria of the training camp, so there is no need to follow the training anymore.”

Xu Lian and Tao Yunchuan both had their mouths wide open, thinking they had misheard.

The two looked at each other with a puzzled expression.

“Xu Ning, don’t try to play tricks with us.”

Tao Yunchuan said, “Last month, you were still annoyed by the progression of your knife technique. And in a blink of an eye, the instructor says that you have practiced well enough and that you have passed the assessment?”

Xu Ning was well prepared for Tao Yunchuan’s question. He had already thought of an excuse in advance.

“I had practiced the Gale Knife Technique alone, so I was not sure about the extent of my progress.” Xu Ning did not hesitate and said, “The reason why I was confused last month was that I encountered a bottleneck by entering a new realm too fast. No one guided me, so I thought my technique was stuck.”

“Today the instructor helped me with my troubles, then I realized that my martial arts talent is actually quite good.”

After that, Xu Ning took out the internal strength booklet and pointed to the steel knife next to him. “Sis, Brother-in-law, look, this internal skill booklet and this knife was given to me after I reached the assessment standard.”

When Xu Ning spoke, he was quite confident.

Even if they didn’t understand martial arts, after his explanation, coupled with these tangible rewards, he could surely persuade them. freewebnove(l).com

Sure enough, Xu Lian and Tao Yunchuan were both silent.

They all felt that what Xu Ning had said was bizarre, but the rewards from the village were right in front of them. They couldn’t help but believe him.

“Xu Ning, then, you are a real warrior?”

After a moment of silence, Tao Yunchuan spoke tentatively.

He had a doubtful tone, but his eyes were full of anticipation.

“Yes.”

Xu Ning nodded heavily.

After receiving Xu Ning’s confirmation, Tao Yunchuan remained silent for a while.

He slapped his thigh and smiled. “Okay… that’s great… There is finally a martial artist in our family!”

In this world, becoming a warrior was a prerequisite for success.

The life of their family had been difficult because their family members were all ordinary people.

But that would soon change. Now that Xu Ning was a warrior, they could work more and earn more.

When Xu Lian saw her husband’s expression, she also showed a look of unconcealed joy on her face.

As long as Xu Ning was willing to endure hardships, he would no longer have to worry about the difficulties of finding a wife and the difficulties of survival. The family would be able to get rid of their constraints and obtain a higher standard of living in the future.

The things they had been worrying about for a long time were solved easily like this.

Xu Ning felt warm in his heart when he saw how joyful they were.

Whether it was the large income from selling Heal-all Plants, or becoming a martial artist, Xu Ning was certain that he had begun to bring beneficial changes to this ordinary family.

In the future, he would also take on more responsibilities for this family.

‘Work hard, Master Budo.’

Xu Ning had a firm belief in his heart.

After lunch, Xu Ning returned to his room.

After Tao Yunchuan and Xu Lian coaxed Tao Tao into a nap, they went out for work.

When they left the house, there was still a smile on their faces.

Xu Ning was satisfied after seeing how joyful Tao Yunchuan and Xu Lian were.

Inside the room.

Xu Ning closed the door of his room and put the book that contained the contents of the Spring Breeze Tactic internal skill on the desk.

“Spring Breeze Tactic…”

Xu Ning was quite excited at the idea of a fundamental skill that could activate the human body’s true potential and was regarded as the fundamental way to unlock real martial arts.

“Martial Arts Panel.”

The Martial Arts Panel appeared in front of him.

Name: Xu Ning

Martial Art: Gale Knife Technique (intermediate)+

Available energy: 0 units

The information on the Martial Arts Panel did not change.

“I wonder if I can incorporate the Spring Breeze Tactic into the Martial Arts Panel…”

Xu Ning began to think. “Surely I don’t have to break through the first mortal realm stage before I can start using energy to improve…”

If this was the case, Xu Ning would be quite disappointed.

Without the Martial Arts Panel, his predecessor would never have achieved the elementary realm in the Gale Knife Technique, let alone the much more difficult Spring Breeze Tactic.

If he had to wait a few years and practice the Spring Breeze Tactic to the mortal realm first stage before he could use the magical effects of the Martial Arts Panel, it would be a huge waste of time.

“Enough thinking, I’ll try it first…”

Xu Ning shook his head and began to learn the Spring Breeze Tactic.

The contents of the Spring Breeze Tactic was not complicated; the text was easy to read, and there was nothing particularly difficult to understand.

Even though there were some obscurities, it contained pictures for clarity. Xu Ning didn’t encounter any difficulties.

“So it seems that this Spring Breeze Tactic is not too difficult to cultivate…”

Xu Ning thought, “But if I only practice and rely on the body’s potential, I am afraid it will not be easy to succeed…”

Time slowly passed by.

After about an hour, Xu Ning had read this booklet thoroughly.

Xu Ning brought out the Martial Arts Panel again.

Name: Xu Ning

Martial Arts:

Spring Breeze Tactic (Novice)+

Gale Knife Method (Intermediate)+

Available energy: 0 units

This time, the Spring Breeze Tactic appeared under the martial arts column.

“The Spring Breeze Tactic is on the Martial Arts Panel!”

Xu Ning felt relieved.

It seemed like the conditions for being on the Martial Arts Panel were far less strict than he had thought.

As long as he learned a technique, the Martial Arts Panel would include the technique.

“I wonder how much energy is needed to break through the mortal realm first stage of the Spring Breeze Tactic…”

Xu Ning did not hesitate and focused his mind on the “+” sign next to the Spring Breeze Tactic.
