Chapter 5 Book
This time it was only a one-level upgrade, but it was like breaking through shackles and crossing centuries. The power surged and continuously washed through the eight extraordinary meridians.
She was happy to have some control, even a tiny one, and with practice, she would surely be able to control more.
Is this the difference between the intermediate and beginner levels? It turns out what they said, that beginners are only slightly stronger than ordinary people, is true.
At the initial stage, she could feel the power, but she couldn't control it no matter how hard she tried. When she reached the intermediate stage, it was as if she suddenly got enlightened and learned everything without any instruction.
No wonder those families don’t care about primary awakeners, because they cannot control their power and cannot use energy weapons.
Currently, in the interstellar space, whether it is a magical weapon made by a weapon refiner or an energy grabber developed by a scientific research institute, they all require awakened people to import their own power.
Then, a primary awakener, apart from having a stronger body and a longer lifespan, has almost no combat power. So it is understandable that she was abandoned.
Neither Yun Xiang nor his grandfather mentioned the Yun family, nor did they try to tell them, as if they had discussed it tacitly.
Knowing Yunxiang could control her strength, she added a number of training devices to her backyard. By controlling her strength to her right hand, carving became much easier. Unfortunately, her control was not very good, and her movements were sometimes deep and sometimes shallow.
After a summer of practice, her skills improved a lot. The small wood carvings she made were very popular and finally brought income to the family.
Their lives began to improve, and at her insistence, grandpa started drinking nutrient solution before going to bed again.
That year, her grandfather taught her how to make arrows step by step. She finally had arrows for her bow and began her archery career.
At 14, she made a very delicate scabbard with a dragon carved on it that looked lifelike and agile, and she also gilded it.
The scabbard was sold for a lot of money, but unfortunately my grandfather could not be saved.
Yunxiang started with basic training as usual, placing his hands on two poles, flipping backwards, and landing his feet on the other two simultaneously.
What she is practicing now is not what her grandfather taught her, but what is in the book.
Before leaving, grandpa gave her three books. He didn't tell her where they came from or how valuable they were. He just said that if she could use them, she could use them, and if not, she could just keep them as a memory.
She knew that her grandfather didn't want her to bear too much, and there might be other reasons he didn't want to tell her, but this was definitely the main reason.
One of the three books is called "Wooden Tools Record", which contains many wooden tools, including agricultural tools, fishing tools, and hunting tools such as bows and arrows, traps, etc. The appendix contains some trap making methods.
The other two volumes are the Weaponry Record and the Wooden Talisman Record. They include ancient weapons such as bows, spears, halberds, halberds, lances, long swords, swords, and crossbows, as well as modern weapons such as bayonets and flail blades. Most of these weapons evolved from hunting tools and are considered the second volume of the Wooden Talisman Record.
There was a stack of appendices at the end of the Weapon Record, which seemed to have been bound in later. There were many strange and difficult postures drawn in it, which were subtly related to the basic movements she had been practicing.
Yun Xiang didn't feel any stagnation when practicing, and it was extremely harmonious and coherent. This should be an upgraded version of her usual practice.
The most advanced one was the Wood Talisman Record, which turned out to be a book on making talismans. The book I had always read in novels suddenly appeared before my eyes, and I was not surprised, but frightened.
The Wooden Talisman Record records many kinds of talismans, including defensive ones, such as amulets and exorcism talismans, and offensive ones, such as fire talismans, thunder and fire talismans, and ice-breaking talismans.
There are also various auxiliary ones, such as acceleration talismans, invisibility talismans, water-avoidance talismans, etc., as well as luck-enhancing talismans, such as blessing talismans, auspicious talismans... There are all kinds of them, everything you can think of.
Yun wanted to try carving an acceleration talisman out of peach wood, but he carved dozens of them and there was no response. The lines were exactly the same as on the talisman picture, but it just didn't work.
Suddenly I remembered that in novels, one needs spiritual energy to draw talismans. The talismans here should require supernatural powers, or the energy of an awakened person (power in the human body, energy after being exported).
Before, she always controlled the power in her hands, and the wood carvings she carved naturally lacked energy, so she tried to channel the power into the carving knife.
After she had smashed several carving knives, she finally remembered that her carving knives were not magical weapons and could not withstand such tremendous power.
I had to give up the idea of carving talismans for the time being, but I could try the mechanism diagram in the appendix of the Wooden Talisman Record.
The only book that didn't contain any handicrafts among the three books made Yun Xiang curious about his grandfather's identity, or the identity of his grandfather's ancestors. Was he really just a simple woodcarver?
After completing the basic movements, Yunxiang covered his eyes with a cloth and began practicing archery.
She pulled five flying ropes on the moving plum blossom pole and hung them on several trainers in a fan shape.
Two small automatic launchers are installed on each rope. Each launcher can hold 20 dates. The launch speed and interval time can be set manually.
Yun wanted to move on the plum blossom piles. When he stepped on a moving pile, the pile would cause the rope to swing, and the launcher on the rope would be triggered, starting to spray in all directions.
She would identify the location of the dates based on the sound and airflow and shoot or dodge, thereby practicing her five senses and flexibility.
In the first two months, Yun wanted to adjust the launcher's speed to medium, with an interval of 8 seconds. On the one hand, her abilities had improved, and the low speed was no longer suitable for her.
Secondly, she was training for the summer college entrance exam. She never fought a battle without preparation, and she would do her best to complete anything she was asked to do.
My father in my previous life once said that in many things, what matters is not the result, but the attitude.
Although her accuracy was still low, at least she could successfully avoid most of the attacks and no longer get beaten black and blue.
The school suspended theoretical classes in March and instead conducted physical training and mental concentration training. Their classes were scheduled on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons, for a total of three hours.
Physical training and strength training courses are compulsory courses in all colleges in StarCraft. Elementary and junior high schools focus on laying the foundation, and most of the training is broken down movements.
In high school, students begin to learn systematic theoretical knowledge and basic psychological qualities, as well as basic continuity training. The training rooms are mostly decorated with virtual scenes.
In college, it would develop into actual combat, with human versus human, human versus mutant plants, and human versus mutant animals. Some would fight alone, and some would fight in groups, teaching combat techniques, escape techniques, and so on.
Yunxiang had classes this afternoon, so seeing that it was almost time, he stuffed a bottle of nutrient solution into his bag and went to the station to wait for the suspended train.
Interstellar transportation is well developed, and it takes less than ten minutes to go to study. Yun Xiang prepared to go to the Jinmao Building after class.
Jinmao Building is the largest trading market on Chaihe Star. It has everything from low-end to high-end, and there is almost nothing that cannot be traded.
She has recently collected a lot of small handicrafts and is looking to see if she can buy a magical tool similar to a carving knife.
Asking a craftsman to make a carving knife specifically for her was out of the question. Even if she sold it, it wouldn't be enough. She planned to carve a lucky charm for herself before the college entrance exam.
Whether it would work or not was beyond question, just for the sake of good luck. Time was running out, so she had to hurry. In just a moment, she had already arrived at school.
