A few days later, at dusk, Linghu Jue was sitting in front of the firewood pile. A piece of firewood with uneven thickness was erected in front of him, and the hatchet was stuck diagonally on his right hand side. Slowly, he closed his eyes. The moment his fingers touched the handle of the knife, his movements became faster. A white and slightly evil light suddenly flashed, and the hatchet was inserted back into place. It seemed that nothing was moving, but the wood cracked silently. Slowly opening his eyes, Linghu Jue sighed slightly. Without looking, he knew that he failed again this time. Although the two split pieces of firewood appear to be equal in size, there is actually a slight difference in weight. The difference was caused by an unnoticeable tremor when he ran out of strength. But he was not disappointed. These more than ten days of boring training made him make great progress. Especially when he has no distracting thoughts and is immersed in a certain artistic conception, he can draw the knife so fast that even he himself can't imagine. He could imagine that if there was fighting spirit attached, the speed would be even more terrifying. The increase in speed comes from changes in the way he exerts force. When he continued, repeatedly, and simply used the power of his body to exert energy, he realized that he had been very wrong before. In the past, he was accustomed to using Dou Qi to control and adjust changes in strength. In fact, this ignored the origin of force. The muscles, bones, and meridians in the body accommodated Dou Qi during the process of exerting force, resulting in sluggish and unsmooth movements. side effect. The faster the speed and the greater the force, the more obvious the stagnation will be. He had already felt this negative effect before, and tried to change it with Liu Xu'er's guidance, but the effect was not great. This is not to say that Liu Xu'er's advice was wrong, but that he did not understand it deeply enough, or that he never had time to calm down and understand it. And through these days of unremitting training. He realized. It's not that the fighting spirit is strong and solid. The speed will be faster and the strength will be stronger. But in the process of conducting force, if it is natural and smooth, then speed will be produced. In other words, Dou Qi is only an auxiliary, and the body is the foundation, instead of imposing Dou Qi on body functions like he did before. Causes force incoordination. This is actually a cultivation principle that is not complicated. It is simple to say but difficult to do. If his ancestor hadn't come up with such a method, he might not have understood it so quickly. A teacher is someone who imparts knowledge and resolves doubts. What he has always lacked is a master like his ancestor. ¡°Boy, what on earth are you practicing? I really can¡¯t stand watching anymore.¡± A clear voice of angry shouting woke Linghu Jue out of his deep thoughts, and he looked up. The ancestor was walking over with an angry look on his face. Linghu Jue immediately stood up and prepared to salute. But Luo Yugang helped him up with a sleeve. He bent down and picked up the two pieces of firewood, weighed them, raised his eyebrows, and said as if he was dissatisfied: "It has been more than ten days, and you have become like this?" "You are stupid, please be punished by our ancestors." Linghu Jue lowered his face in fear. He thought he had made great progress, but he didn't expect that he would be so insignificant in the eyes of his ancestors. Looking at the drooping Linghu Jue, Luo Yugang suddenly smiled strangely: You are stupid, but there are smart people. But thinking about it, he immediately tightened his face. He really couldn't stand it anymore, but it wasn't because Linghu Jue was progressing too slowly, but because he was progressing too fast. If he continued to practice like this, the effect would no longer be too great. But he won't tell the truth directly. He has his own teaching methods and ideas. To him, a strong man needs blows, not praises. What a man should experience is frustration, not praise. In this way, the road will go farther and farther, and the waist will become stronger and stronger. "This¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª." He couldn't find the right words for a moment, waved his sleeves, and said vaguely: "The opponent is not a piece of wood. How can he wait for you to look at it for a long time before letting you find the angle of attack? Your reaction should be Faster and more direct, it seems that the emperor is going to change the method for you." Linghu Jue, with a drooping face, wondered: Isn't this what you asked me to split wood? Although he is a little confused, he also thinks that what his ancestors said makes sense. When a strong person fights, it only takes a split second to make a move, so he will not be given too much time to make a judgment. So, he said with sincerity and sincerity: "Please give me some advice, ancestor." Through these few days of observation, Luo Yugang roughly understood some of Linghu Jue's shortcomings and shortcomings. He already had a clue in his mind and made a series of adjustment plans. Then, he slightly nodded and said: "I know that there are many people outside the secret realm who say you are a genius, but in my eyes, your talent can only be said to be barely adequate, and hard work can make up for your shortcomings. You must keep this in mind. In this way "In the next half month, you will go to Mengmeng Swamp to catch white jade eels. Of course, you will still have to chop the firewood during your free time." Ancestors¡¯ expectations. But the words were still swirling on the tip of his lips, and he raised his head hesitantly. Luo Yu just glanced at his hesitant expression and said nonchalantly: "Boy, if you have something to say, just say it and be more straightforward." Linghu Jue hesitated for a moment and said: "Ancestor, you should also know that I am here¡ª¡ª ." hisBefore he finished speaking, Luo Yugang said, "Isn't it just to participate in the Hundred Clans Elite Disciple Competition? I have already arranged it for you. You just need to calm down and practice well, and don't embarrass me by then." " "Then I won't participate in the selection?" Linghu Jue was a little confused about the situation. According to what Mr. Luo said before, this selection is very strict and not one person has the final say. Luo Yu just seemed to be a little annoyed and said: "Those guys from the Presbyterian Church really don't know how to adapt. I told them to leave a quota for them. He also said that it can't be done. Everything must be done according to the rules. I was so angry on the spot. Just get mad. It's also my fault that you juniors are not up to par. No one from the Luo family has participated in that competition in years. Boy, you have to show off to me this time. I boast that you can deal with them all by yourself in Haikou. Everyone picked out. "What?" Linghu Jue was startled and looked blankly at his somewhat proud ancestor. He now knew why he could skip the screening. Seeing that Linghu Jue was a little stunned, Luo Yugang curled his lips and said nonchalantly: "Actually, there are only four of us, it's not a big deal." Now that the matter has come to this, I can no longer keep a low profile. Linghu Jue could only smile helplessly and bitterly. This smile reminded him of another thing. With a shy face, he said: "Ancestor, are there any high-level spiritual herbs?" Luo Yugang was stunned at first. Then he clapped his hands and said, "That's right. It seems that the emperor hasn't given you a greeting gift yet, okay." After saying that, he pressed the void, and dozens of sapphire boxes appeared instantly, without falling, and were arranged in a suspended manner. "Boy, what kind of system do you want? These are emperor-level spiritual grasses. You can only choose one. Think about it before you decide." Linghu didn't care. He wanted it for the strange beast egg. How long had it been before? The aura of the Qingling Jade Lotus on the beast's egg has almost been absorbed. For a while, he couldn't find the high-level spiritual grass, so he could only shamelessly ask for it from his ancestors. Unexpectedly, the ancestor was quite generous, and he used the emperor-level spiritual grass as soon as he made a move. "Both ice and earth elements are fine." Linghu Jue thought for a moment and said. Although Mrs. Shu said that any high-level spiritual grass would do. But the parents of this beast egg are of the earth and ice types, so now they have a choice. He will naturally choose the one that suits him. As soon as Luo Yu was a little empty, a sapphire box fell into Linghu Jue's outstretched hand, while the other sapphire boxes disappeared quickly. Seeing Linghu Jue put it into the storage ring without even looking at it, this made him a little confused who originally wanted to introduce the spiritual grass. However, he is open-minded by nature and has reached such a state that he already took everything very lightly and did not introduce it. He said carelessly: "Is everything okay? Let's go with this emperor." He also understood his ancestor's character and knew that saying thank you would seem polite. Linghu Jue nodded and let his ancestor hold his hand. Teleport directly. On the top of the peak, silence suddenly returned. Only the hatchet was still inserted quietly. It may not have thought that in a few decades, it would become a famous artifact in the mainland. And this mountain peak has also become a famous holy place. Yunmeng Swamp, located in the west of the secret realm, is different from the swamps on the mainland. There is no daunting dark marsh gas here. The water is very clear and clean, and the grass is lush on the scattered mounds, giving people a bright and thorough atmosphere. But this does not mean that this swamp is safe. On the contrary, it is much more dangerous than those on the mainland. Those exposed mounds of earth don't bear any force at all. They will sink if stepped on even slightly. I wonder how those grasses grow? There are a large number of monsters in the swamp. They are the kind of monsters that do not have strong attack power, but are quite difficult to deal with. Among these monsters, the white jade eel that Linghu must catch is the slipperiest. It has almost no attack power, but it is extremely fast. Let alone catch it, just kill it. In this swamp with almost no place to stay, , is also an extremely difficult thing. What's more, Linghu Jue is still imprisoned. After his ancestor brought him here, he released the seal on his magic power, but still imprisoned his fighting spirit. The obvious meaning is that he can only use magic to catch white jade eels. . For several days in a row, he gained nothing, but he became more and more proficient in the use of Fengxiang Technique. There was no way, if there was no Fengxiang Technique, he probably wouldn't even have a place to stand. But he was lucky today. After just flying around, he found several traces of white jade eels. The white jade eel, as its name suggests, is similar in size to the eels eaten by humans on the mainland. It is generally five inches to one foot in length. It is as white as jade and is proficient in various low-level water magic. Usually, it will swim under the floating mounds and rarely emerge. Linghu Jue approached cautiously. This kind of white jade eel is very sensitive and will dive into the water at the slightest disturbance. Originally, with the water spirit mother in his body, diving to catch it would also be a good idea. But he didn't want to, because he knew that by doing so, he would lose the original intention of his ancestors letting him come here. In the past few days, although he did not catch a white jade eel, he was very interested in the use of magic.?But it has improved a lot, both in speed and reaction, there has been a significant increase. This time, it was because he lost the support of fighting spirit and had to devote himself wholeheartedly to magic. Secondly, during the capture process, the white jade eel's control over its own water magic gave him a lot of hints. Sure enough, the elemental changes brought about by the Phoenix Flying Technique alarmed the few white jade eels that emerged. Without any hesitation, they all sprayed out a water arrow and dived underwater. Linghu Jue, who had dealt with him before, was already prepared. Several fireballs bounced from his fingers and fell into the water in several directions. A layer of water mist instantly evaporated from the water surface. The rising temperature made the half-dive jade eels very uncomfortable. They stopped diving, and a stream of water vapor emerged from their bodies. At the same time, their bodies flicked out, and several small streaks of water flew out. The ripples shot into the distance. Linghu Jue's eyes narrowed slightly as they moved forward. The moment his mental power and magic elements merged, a wave rippled on the surface of the water, which was caused by the vibration of the underground swamp. Those white jade eels were in a panic and condensed the water vapor floating on their bodies into an arc. In an instant, they regained their agility and continued to swim forward with the water cover that isolated the vibrations, and at a faster speed. In the past few times, Linghu Jue was defeated by this move, so he kept thinking. He felt that the white jade eel's escape method of using Qi to form a shield was similar to the emperor's domain, which also created a kind of isolation. It's just that one is formed by combining thoughts with powerful magic and fighting spirit, while the other is just a simple combination of elements. Why does a simple combination of elements produce such an effect? Linghu definitely didn't know, but he couldn't just watch the white jade eel escape again. On the water, whirlpools appeared one after another. He tried his best to control his magic power and let the whirlpools spread out in a plum blossom shape, blocking the white jade eel's escape route. . Those white jade eels were very cunning. At the moment when the water cover came into contact with the vortex and spun, they put away the water cover, and their slender bodies followed the force of rotation. At the same time, a white light burst out from their bodies. At the same time as the white light suddenly appeared, The water cover appeared again, blocking the white light and the shock caused by the collision of the vortex, and quickly escaped. Watching this scene, Linghu Jue's eyes showed extreme surprise. Although the white jade eel is a water-type monster, it has been in this secret realm for a long time, so it is not surprising that it has some light-type spiritual roots. What's strange is why the magic conversion between light and water is so fast. Generally speaking, when magicians cast different types of magic, there will be some pauses and hesitation. That's because the magical elements of spiritual communication are different. The stronger the mental power, the shorter the stagnation time, and the faster the casting speed will be. It is obviously unlikely that the white jade eel has too strong mental power. How does it do this? Linghu Jue's expression became more and more solemn as he thought about it. Suddenly, his body spun around and the wind flying technique lifted his body and flew out of the swamp. After landing on the ground, he immediately sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and concentrated, carefully understanding the hidden magical principles in the instantaneous changes. A hundred feet away, Luo Yugang's figure appeared. He stared at Linghu Jue who was sitting cross-legged, and slightly chinned his head. The reason why he did not directly explain some of the principles of using magic was that he hoped that Linghu Jue could understand it on his own. The law is invisible and traceless, but there are traces that can be found. Everything in the world contains the mystery of rules. If you blindly follow the advice of others, you will not be able to understand the true meaning of the law. Such a strong person may be able to become an emperor, but he will definitely not be able to reach the ultimate peak. Originally, his requirements for Linghu Jue were not that high, but after seeing Linghu Jue's performance in the past ten days, he knew that he might really have a chance to create a peak powerhouse, an ultimate mystic who stands at the extreme, and a Real God!
