Chapter 108 - Plotting"Swish, swish …"
The dragon hovered over a huge rock, its small head staring at Lu Shao You. Then, bored, it climbed down the rock and went to play.Lu Shao You was calm and composed as he repeatedly cultivated the Roaring Sea without hurry. Martial skills were not something that could be completely mastered in a short period of time. The more advanced the martial skill, the harder it was to cultivate.
Patience wasn"t something that Lu Shaoyu lacked, but neither was perseverance. Therefore, in this valley, Lu Shaoyu didn"t feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, he found this place to be in a strange state, where it was very quiet and suitable for meditation.
In the silence, Lu Shaoyu knew that the members of the Violent Wolf Mercenary Group must be searching for him all over the place. He must take revenge for the grievances he had been pursued and not take revenge even after suffering a loss.As a result, in this quiet environment, Lu Shaoyu felt a sense of urgency. He had to quickly increase his strength.
In just half a month"s time, Lu Shaowu had already trained the Howling Firmament Sea to a new level. This was an early Huang grade martial skill, and an average person, even if it was three months, would not have had such an achievement. If there was an outsider around, they would definitely be surprised.
At night, the afterglow of the setting sun shone down on the valley. A layer of red also covered the entire valley. Lu Shaoyu retracted his true energy and stopped cultivating.
When Lu Shao You returned to the cave, Xiaolong dragged a rabbit with his mouth into the cave. With his head held high, his small eyes were staring at Lu Shao You You. His face was full of pride.
"You"re really amazing." During this period of time, Xiaolong would drag the wild beast into the cave every day, so there was no need for him to go out and look for food.
"Swish, swish …"
Xiao Long shook his little head, feeling pleased with himself once again and climbed onto Lu Shaoyu"s shoulder.
After roasting the hare, the man and the beast had a lot of fun, and Xiaolong"s appet.i.te was also huge. However, Lu Shaowu didn"t let Xiaolong eat too many roasted hare, and these roasted hare weren"t demon beasts.
From his observations in the Misty Valley Mountain Range, Lu Shaoyu could tell that every time Xiaolong ate a demonic beast, he would get more or less of a benefit. His skin would become more and more l.u.s.trous, and his size would also slowly increase.He didn"t want to let himself eat this delicacy. He stared at Lu Shaoyu angrily, then ran over to a rock in the cave and circled around, ignoring Lu Shaowu.
Lu Shao You smiled. Xiao Long was still angry, but every time he was angry for less than half an hour, he would crawl back onto his body.
"It"s about time. Take a pill. If you can break through to the seventh stage, your strength will increase by leaps and bounds." Lu Shaoyu sat cross-legged. In his hand, he took out the five Grade 3 pills that he had obtained from the Fire Devil s.p.a.ce Bag. Five Grade 3 pills and two Qi Replenishing Pills were for healing wounds. He had already consumed one.
As for the other three pills, they all had the effect of enhancing one"s Zhen Qi, called the True Sun Pill. At this moment, Lu Shao You was planning to take a True Sun Pill and break through to the Seventh Stage warrior, but with his current breakthrough energy consumption, the third grade pills should be enough to help him break through to the Eighth Layer warrior.
Only now did Lu Shaoyu dare to swallow the pellets to make a breakthrough. Uncle Nan had warned him before and told him to not be too hasty in refining the pellets. If he was unable to refine all of the energy obtained, it would have a huge impact on his future cultivation.
Lu Shaoyu naturally understood this principle, so he didn"t dare to be careless. Although he wanted to use the fastest speed to increase his own strength, he still needed to take one step at a time.
With this Yin-Yang Soul Martial Arts, he was already much faster than other people. Delaying this bit of time was nothing. If it had an impact on his future cultivation, he would be in trouble.
After consuming the pill, a huge wave of energy immediately diffused into Lu Shaoyu"s body. Soon after, he also quickly entered a state of cultivation. He circulated the Yin Yang Spirit Martial Skill in his body and began to refine this huge wave of energy for his own use.
At this moment, Lu Shaowu had recently trained and honed his body, so his bones and muscles were in a state of fatigue. At this moment, Lu Shaowu had recently cultivated and honed his body, so his bones and muscles were in a state of fatigue.
His body had been trained by Uncle Nan and had been soaked in the Bone Ablutionary Dan Bead for a month. His physique should be of the highest quality among those of the same cultivation level. With the help of the Azure Spirit Armor, his defensive capabilities could be considered pa.s.sable.As several hours pa.s.sed by, the true energy within Lu Shaoyu"s body began to leak out, and a brownish-yellow glow began to surround him. His attributes mainly focused on the earth element, and amongst all the elements, the earth element had the strongest attack and defense.
The Water Element was the most agile, its defensive power was only second to the Earth Element, and the Wind Element was the fastest. The Wood Element was extremely strange and tricky, making it impossible to guard against. Fire was the most terrifying element.
Each attribute had their own advantages and disadvantages, but not many people could train in the dual attribute at the same time. Therefore, a dual-attribute martial artist was extremely valuable. Using the dual attribute, one"s strength would also be much stronger.
Generally speaking, when a martial artist with the same cultivation level encountered a dual-element martial pract.i.tioner, the chances of winning were basically zero.
As he ingested the huge energy from the True Sun Pill, the pure true energy within Lu Shao You"s Dantian"s Qi Sea continued to grow.
Outside of Lu Shaoyu"s body, the earthen yellow light was becoming brighter and brighter. A powerful aura was spreading out with a berserk aura. If anyone saw it, they would know that Lu Shaoyu had unknowingly entered a breakthrough.
This aura became more and more powerful. On the rock, Xiao Long felt this tyrannical aura and lifted his head to observe it.In fact, Lu Shaoyu"s current breakthrough wasn"t surprising. After refining the Zhen Qi, he was already at the peak of a sixth stage warrior. It was normal for him to break through after refining the True Sun Pill.
As time pa.s.sed, the light surrounding Lu Shaoyu"s body became more and more intense. At this time, Lu Shaoyu"s dantian"s Qi Sea was filled with true energy, and his meridians were filled with true energy. His meridians expanded, and pain began to appear.
"Gather for me."
At this moment, Lu Shaowu let out a soft shout and made a hand seal. The energy within his meridians surged into his dantian"s Qi Sea at the same time.
"Bang …"
A series of m.u.f.fled sounds came from within his dantian"s Qi Sea. At the same time, an invisible force of heaven and earth seemed to be sucked into Lu Shaowu"s body through the pores of his body.
Lu Shaoyu"s aura continued to soar. Compared to before, it was several times stronger.
Like this, it wasn"t until early in the morning when the first rays of the sun emerged from a crack in the mountain, Lu Shao You stopped his cultivation and slowly let out a long, turbid breath from his dantian"s Qi Sea.
Sensing the strengthening of his zhenqi, a lazy smile appeared on Lu Shaowu"s face. He stretched his body and said: "A Grade 3 pill, consuming nothing, only breaking through from the peak of the sixth stage to the seventh stage. The effect of swallowing this pill is not as strong as directly swallowing a martial artist."At this moment, Lu Shao You could feel that more than half of the energy from the True Sun Pill within his body had been consumed. This was a Grade 3 pill and it was worth thousands of gold coins, if he were to rely solely on the elixir to consume the elixir and achieve a breakthrough, it would simply be burning money.
"Continue with your training." Lu Shaoyu stood up and patted the green robe on his body. A yellow light flashed like lightning and landed on his shoulder. It was Long Haochen.
"What, are you finished with your anger?" Lu Shaoyu held the little dragon in his hands and caressed its head with a smile.
"Swish, swish …"
Xiaolong"s round little eyes stared at Lu Shaoyu for a moment, then he dashed out. After a few ups and downs, he disappeared into the valley to play by himself.
Lu Shaoyu smiled slightly and continued to cultivate, which was why he was so angry. Cultivating water-type martial skills by the side of the river would at least help him a little. This was also the reason why Lu Shaowu chose to stay in the valley.Lu Shao You walked into the river and the water current reached his thighs. His true energy vibrated and a blue light lingered around him, condensing into water b.a.l.l.s that continuously fell to the ground.
With the huge force of the water, Lu Shaoyou slowly fell back. He remembered the first time he directly entered the river to cultivate, the moment he touched the water, he was swept away by the waves. Now, he had improved by a lot.
Wave after wave of power was gathered together and explosions could be heard in the river. Water b.a.l.l.s, palm prints, mist, and other attacks were being thrown out in waves. The waves howled and violently surged towards the rocks on the sh.o.r.e.
This kind of training also consumed quite a bit of energy. It was time for him to recover, this Yellow Rank martial skill"s martial skill was a lot stronger than the Star rank"s martial skill, but at the same time, the amount of true energy consumed was also a lot more.
After breaking through to the seventh stage warrior last night, the power of the Raging Ape Sea was much stronger than before, and he had become more and more familiar with the Raging Infernal Sea"s training. However, this Raging Infernal Sea required a lot of Real Qi, and although the consumption was not as great as the Vermillion Bird Technique, it was still quite shocking.Outside the valley, two figures carefully made their way through the dense forest.
"It"s already been over a month. Where did that man and woman hide?" A lean man with a severed arm said softly in the forest. Behind him was a muscular man. Both of them were members of the Violent Wolf Mercenary Group. The man with a severed arm was of course the third leader who had been chopped off by Lan Ling.
"Third Company Leader, did that man and woman escape? Otherwise, it"s impossible for us to not be able to find them within a month." The burly man in the tight suit said.
"Impossible, they must be hiding in some corner. I must catch that woman and ruthlessly beat her up in order to dispel the hatred in my heart." The lean man said coldly.
"Third Guild Leader, look, there"s a valley here." The two of them pa.s.sed through the dense forest and saw a magnificent valley. They had never been to this place even after so many years in the Misty Valley.
"Here, the boy is in this valley." Suddenly, the lean man noticed the blue-robed young man sitting cross-legged on the distant rock by the river."Hurry up and inform the boss and second brother, I"ll keep an eye on them from now on. Don"t alert them, and don"t let the other mercenaries find out either. Be careful." Immediately, the lean man said in a soft voice to the man in the tight suit beside him.
"Yes." After the tight-uniformed man said this, he quietly retreated back into the dense forest, leaving the one-armed, three-headed leader hiding in a patch of gra.s.s."When Boss and the others come, who knows, maybe that brat will just leave. I wonder if that b.i.t.c.h is here?" The three heads stuck their heads out and stared at Lu Shaoyu, who was standing far away, with hesitant expressions on their faces.
"This kid has the strength of a warrior, he should be easy to deal with. That b.i.t.c.h might not be in the valley, but it"s not bad to deal with him first. The treasure is mine." The lean man stared at Lu Shaoyu. A trace of coldness flashed across his greedy eyes. He then started to silently crawl forward. His speed was extremely slow and he was afraid that he would alert the opponent.
Time slowly pa.s.sed. Lu Shaotian was still recovering. He hadn"t thought that this hidden valley would be discovered so easily. He didn"t pay attention to it at all. At this moment, he didn"t think that anyone would come close.
As the true energy in his body slowly recovered, Lu Shaoyu suddenly felt that there was something strange within the valley. Although he wasn"t deliberately guarding against anything, as a spirit cultivator, his sharp senses still existed.
"It"s dangerous." Lu Shao You quickly reacted. There was an additional presence in the valley. It had already been quite some time since he had last been in the valley. Lu Shao You already knew what was going on in the valley.
"Twenty meters, killing this kid in a surprise attack, there won"t be a problem." At this moment, the lean man was already twenty meters behind Lu Shaoyu, hiding himself under a rock. The lean man calculated that his opponent was only a warrior. If he were to launch a sneak attack, he would have a 90% chance of killing him in one blow.
After making his decision, the lean man"s expression turned cold. His body silently floated out, and like an illusion, he flew towards Lu Shaoyu. In that instant, a sharp aura spread out as well.
Lu Shaoyu suddenly felt a chill as he quickly jumped down. He saw a lean figure holding a long sword in his left hand thrusting straight at him, the sword qi sliced through the air, directly aiming for his heart, retreating a few steps, Lu Shaoyu was already in the middle of the surging river, his zhen qi had already formed a protective barrier around him, floating in the middle of the river. At this moment, Lu Shaoyou had an evil smile on his face.
For some reason, the lean man felt a sense of danger spreading from the bottom of his heart when he saw Lu Shaoyu"s smile. His expression turned cold as he released his true energy, causing his sword to move even faster. The two of them floated in the river, and the tip of the sword was about to reach Lu Shaoyu"s chest.
"Revenge. We"ll start from you. In that case, let"s see the power of my Raging Sea of Flames." All of a sudden, Lu Shaoyu steadied his body and formed a hand seal.
"Angry Sea!"
Lu Shaoyu shouted and formed a hand seal. The light around his body suddenly turned blue and a powerful and savage energy instantly spread out.As the shout fell, the cyan robed man waved his hand and a handprint instantly appeared in Lu Shaoyu"s hand. In the surrounding s.p.a.ce, an enormous and rich water-attribute energy immediately surged over, and gathered together at an astonishing speed. In an instant, it formed into a spinning curtain of rain in front of Lu Shaoyou, which appeared extremely strange.
The lean man"s sword stabbed forward, but it couldn"t penetrate any further in front of the rain. The force of the ripples of the whirlpool was entangled with the sword.
At this moment, the three leaders were immediately horrified. The opponent"s cultivation was clearly a warrior, but his strength was actually so terrifying. What shocked them the most was that back in the canyon, he clearly saw that this youth was a fire element martial artist, but now, he was using a water attribute martial skill.
"You, you are a dual element martial artist?" The lean man was shocked. He was about to pull out his sword and continue attacking when his face suddenly changed.At this moment, the entire s.p.a.ce seemed to tremble. On the surface of the river below, huge waves surged and whistled, instantly condensing at a mystical and terrifying speed. In the blink of an eye, a gigantic blue vortex that was over a hundred meters long surged out.
The blue vortex was completely blue in color, and as it rapidly rotated, it was like a tsunami that had been swept up by the sea. The angry sea roared, and the terrifying aura that pervaded the air, along with the terrifying might, caused the entire s.p.a.ce to be filled with a series of explosions.
Within the terrifying whirlpool, the lean man"s eyes were filled with fear. A violent force was pressing down on his body, causing his defensive halo to distort. A huge force was violently attacking him, and his body seemed as if it was about to be torn into pieces.
"Go to h.e.l.l, Mad Sea!" When the last handprint was formed, a huge force pulled away most of the true energy in the howling whirlpool in front of him. As the shout fell, his hands pushed forward, and the huge whirlpool trembled before suddenly spinning at a high speed. Finally, under the deafening whistling sound of the wind breaking, it swelled up like lightning, and a terrifying aura and sharp pressure spread out from it.Such a ma.s.sive vortex was like the angry roar of the sea. This terrifying power was extremely formidable.
