Chapter 8： old man

The old man in white pointed to the first person on the left of the team and arranged:

"Just start with you, everyone will show the basic sword moves, and let me see what you have mastered."

The first person on the left of the team is a young man with a tender face, about fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing blue sportswear.

He took a few steps forward and came to stand in the spacious place.

Before it even started, his body trembled non-stop. Accidentally, the sword fell to the ground. He hurriedly bent over to pick it up, but almost fell over because of the force.

Seeing this, the other applicants took a deep breath, infected by the tense atmosphere, and their hands clenched their fists unconsciously.

Chen Yiming didn't feel it. With the blessing of the level 1 swordsmanship talent, the basic sword was easily available, and he was 100% sure to pass the test.

After counting interest.

"Stop, next one." The old man in white said.

The boy in the blue sports suit retracted his sword in embarrassment and returned to the team with a frustrated look on his face.

He was stopped just after he used two basic sword moves, and he didn't have to wait for the result to know that he had failed.

Next, the next applicant stepped forward to test.

The second applicant, compared to the performance of the first, did not know whether it was influenced by the previous person, and his performance was even worse.

He didn't even have the courage to raise his hand to demonstrate, standing for a few breaths before giving up and returning to the team.

Chen Yiming ranked sixth. The five people in front did not perform well, and their movements were far from the standard requirements.

This made him breathe a sigh of relief, and he was worried that the martial arts hall would control the number of students recruited. If many people could complete the standard basic sword moves, he might be squeezed out.

It can be seen that adding so many people who signed up out of thin air is just a waste of money when the world is going to be in chaos.

"Next."

As soon as the old man in white made a sound, Chen Yiming started with a rapier, and the whole person rushed out more than half a meter in an instant.

With the explosive power of his entire body, the wooden sword instantly pierced through the air barrier, making a vibrating sound, and then the body took advantage of the momentum to take another leap...

The whole set of movements was smooth and smooth, without the slightest bit of rigidity. Compared with the previous few people, the judgment was made.

"qualified."

The old man in white, before Chen Yiming showed all the basic sword moves, gave his evaluation.

Chen Yiming returned to the team still unfinished. He also planned to use the combo he created later, but the pavilion owner did not look at him differently and asked him to show it for a while.

Wait until everyone's test is over.

Unsurprisingly, the latter two also failed, and only Chen Yiming passed.

The other seven people spent the equivalent of 5,000 yuan to let the owner of the museum comment on the mastery of basic sword moves.

The seven people were very depressed. They failed to become martial arts students, which meant that in today's chaotic world, there was no way to get close to the big tree in the martial arts hall.

The old man in white was very calm from beginning to end, and commented at the end:

"Basic sword moves, as long as you study hard and practice hard, everyone can master them. If you don't pass this time, you will have a chance next time, especially those who are 14 or 15 years old and new to martial arts."

He paused for a while to allow applicants to listen to his words, and continued:

"People's energy is limited, and there is no way to be proficient in everything. The most important thing for a new martial artist is to be firm in one direction and solve a difficulty when encountering a difficulty. You must not practice swordsmanship when you are frustrated, and then practice boxing and swordsmanship, and spread your energy to the end Nothing works well."

Finally, it is particularly emphasized that:

"The mantra swordsmanship is also composed of basic sword moves. Newcomers should be patient at this stage to polish the foundation. When the foundation is laid, you can rejoin at any time. I hope that more of you will be qualified next time."

The white-clothed old man's sharp language pointed directly at the essence of cultivation. The emotions of the seven losers were instantly controlled, and several people regained hope.

After Chen Yiming heard it, he seemed reasonable on the surface, but after thinking deeply, he felt a little puzzled.

According to the owner of the museum, the original body also has the opportunity to join the martial arts museum.

However, from the original body's memory, we learned that he also started practicing swordsmanship at the age of fourteen or fifteen. However, when he crossed over, this body was almost eighteen years old, and the progress of mastering basic swordsmanship was still slow.

For example, the stabbing sword movement, I have been practicing for several years, but the stabbing is not accurate, no matter how many times I practice.

Another example is rushing forward, because the original body is not able to grasp the distance and rhythm of each step, which leads to either overshooting or short distance.

This is a manifestation of lack of talent. It is far from what the old man in white said. Patience and persistence will help.

…

On the first floor, in the storage room.

This is where the daily consumables and sundries used in the martial arts hall are stored.

Chen Yiming was wearing a brand-new white loose-fitting training suit, with the golden sword logo printed on his chest, and a pair of cloth shoes made of exotic animal fur on his feet.

According to senior brother Wang Bowen, there is no need to worry about damage to these special cloth shoes, and you can push as hard as you want.

Sales Shen Jia's eyes glowed, holding the other two sets of exercise clothes, standing beside Chen Yiming, and helping to tidy up in front of the mirror, the whole person was about to stick up.

She is a sales person who signed a contract with Chen Yiming. She knows the fixed phone number of Chen Yiming's house, and she can get the first month when she is near the water tower.

Senior brother Wang Bowen glanced at Shen Jia, leaned against the wall and joked:

"Junior Brother Chen, don't take what Master said just now, don't take it too seriously, it's all nice to say. UU Reading "

"What?"

Chen Yiming turned his head and looked puzzled.

"It's just to pour chicken soup for the souls of those applicants who didn't pass, and trick them into thinking that they can do it again next time, and they still come here to sign up."

"It turned out to be so!"

Chen Yiming opened his mouth wide.

He didn't expect that his doubts turned out to be true.

Wang Bowen didn't care and continued:

"Don't talk nonsense when you go out. Master can say some things, but we can't. Otherwise, others will trouble you."

"This kind of thing is the default rule in the circle. The test fee is 5,000 yuan once, and it will be a lot over the years. No martial arts gym will let it go. This is money earned without cost."

"You must know that martial arts is the most important thing about talent. If you can do it, you can do it. If you can't do it, you can't do it. Unless you have been eating animal meat for a long time to improve your physique since childhood, there is no way for ordinary people to buy this thing."

After Chen Yiming heard it, he confirmed his previous doubts and said sincerely:

"So that's the case, then I'll ask senior brother to take more care of him."

Wang Bowen waved his hand and replied:

"It's a little silly, we'll spend a lot of time together in the future. According to your information, you live in the east area of ​​the city, so you must have been assigned to the east branch of the city to practice, where I and Seventh Junior Brother are in charge."

"You have a solid foundation. Although you are a little older when you entered the martial arts hall, you still have a bright future for your cultivation."

"But let's talk about it first. My requirements for cultivation are very strict. Whatever you do, don't be lazy and play just because you have a good foundation. I won't be sympathetic."

Wang Bowen said kind words to the students in the branch library who were about to be in charge of him.
