Chapter 121: Breaking into the Tower (2)
After venting indiscriminately, Zhong Houpan sat down, began to recover from his injuries, and summarized the gains and losses of the battle just now.
He found that the shadow clone was very similar to his own fighting style, and both liked to fight hard as soon as they got on the field. Because both men possess strong defenses, this fighting style can easily gain the upper hand at the get-go.
In fact, based on the battles experienced in the past, this method has been very effective.
It's just that because the shadow clone is more skilled, the person who fell behind became Zhong Hou.
The second is the use of martial arts.
Zhong Hou is still in the most primitive state, both offensive and defensive are very rigid. But the shadow clone has fused the two together, very cleverly, at the most appropriate time, to use the most suitable moves.
I recovered a little bit from my injuries and thought about it a little.
Zhong Hou felt that it was impossible for him to break through in a short period of time, and if he wanted to fight to a draw with the shadow clone, he had to learn all the advantages of the other party.
Only in this way can you be qualified to think about how to kill the opponent later.
So next, Zhong Hou began to experience one after another painful battles that were abused.
Lost in the first game with five moves and retired.
In the second game, he lost five moves and retreated.
In the third game, he lost six moves and retreated.
。。。。。。
Lost in the tenth game and retreated.
。。。。。。
Fifty moves in the thirtieth game, retreat.
。。。。。。
The fiftieth game of two hundred moves was defeated, and he retreated.
。。。。。。
The hundredth game of five hundred moves was defeated, and he retreated.
Although it has already made tens of thousands of moves against the shadow clone, it didn't take long. In the beginning, each battle was only a breath or two of time, and Zhong Hou would be forced to retreat to safety.
Later, the hundredth game, the total time spent on five hundred moves was less than half an hour.
On the contrary, Zhong Hou used it to recover and think, and it took much more time than the battle.
However, the effect is very obvious, from Zhong Hou's entry into the killing tower to the hundredth battle, only half a day has passed, and this time Zhong Hou has already taken over with the shadow clone, and this progress speed is definitely quite amazing.
If it were someone else, there would definitely be no such result, because Zhong Hou had a cheating artifact on his body, and others did not.
The slower the recovery time, the longer it takes.
Zhong Hou also found that every time he stepped out of the safe zone again, he was faced with a shadow clone in his heyday, and it was absolutely impossible to cheat through a war of attrition.
This also made him understand the reason why the outer disciples were reluctant to come to challenge.
In addition to strength, the most important thing is that they have a limited way to earn contribution points, and to put it bluntly, they are too poor.
Similarly, staying in a safe area to recover, the fastest way to recover is naturally to gnaw on medicine, followed by a combination of nibbling medicine and self-recovery, and the slowest recovery method is to rely entirely on yourself.
If you slowly recover completely on your own, the time it takes for the outer disciples to fight a hundred battles may take ten days and half a month.
But they have the task assigned by the sect, and they can't afford to spend such time.
If you recover quickly through the pills, the amount of pills consumed in a hundred battles is definitely not something that an outer disciple can bear.
Even if the two were combined, the amount of pills consumed was also quite staggering, and only inner disciples and above could barely have this consumed capital.
Without a large amount of combat accumulation, it is simply impossible to achieve the desired effect.
Even if you're a peerless genius.
It's like studying, no matter how talented you are, if you don't practice repeatedly, it's impossible to get good grades.
And repeated battles are tantamount to burning money, which is simply unbearable for the shy outer disciples, so the probability of success in their challenge is infinitely close to zero. In that case, why waste time and waste contribution points on this.
But Zhong Hou was different, he hadn't taken a single pill so far. Of course, he didn't have any pills on his body for him to take. He relied entirely on the Star Jade Essence and the residual star energy of the Purple Rock Grass on his body to support his recovery, and even the greater his consumption, the faster the recovery speed.
So he doesn't have to worry about recovery at all.
However, it can also be seen from this point how difficult it is to leave a name on the killing list.
When the first day ended, Zhong Hou finally fought to a draw with the shadow clone. It can be said that he has integrated all the martial arts he has learned now, and is no longer limited to which move of which kind of martial arts, and every move can be done as he wants.
Zhong Hou is even confident that he can kill himself before entering the Killing Training Tower in one move in seconds.
That's the importance of real-world experience.
After three hundred battles, Zhong Hou's star power cultivation and martial arts both broke through.
Star power cultivation broke through from the sixth layer of the Star Table Realm to the seventh layer of the Star Table Realm, and entered the late stage of the Star Table Realm.
The Explosive Punch has finally reached its full potential, and it can exert four times the attack power. Don't think that three to four times is just a slight increase in numbers, it is a great achievement to perfection, a qualitative leap, and it cannot be compared at all.
The basic body method, which has been progressing slowly, has finally been officially introduced.
The comprehensive strength has increased by at least two or three times compared to when he first entered the killing training tower.
It's a pity that the realm of the physical body has not broken through.
However, Zhong Hou also understood that the Quenching Body Realm to the Bone Forging Realm was a threshold, and the difficulty of breaking through was greater than ever.
After the breakthrough, Zhong Hou was in a good mood, and at this time he thought that he already had the strength to kill the shadow clone.
It's just that the shadow clone is too strong, and there is no possibility of killing the other party without a thousand moves.
So Zhong Hou is not in a hurry now, he needs to think clearly about how to choose next.
Now he has two options.
First, deliberately give up killing the shadow clone, stay on the first layer, and refine the residual star energy of the star jade essence and purple rock grass on his body through continuous fighting, so as to achieve the effect of continuing to improve his cultivation.
Although doing so can improve his cultivation to a few more levels in the future, it is impossible for Zhong Hou to learn more and newer practical skills from the shadow clone, because he has already learned everything he should learn.
If you want to go further, you can only understand it yourself.
But it's not something that can be measured in time.
Second, go to the second layer. Since the second layer doubles the pressure, and will replicate the current peak state of Zhong Hou. Before Zhong Hou kills the shadow clone of the second layer, he must first overcome the influence of pressure on him, and then learn the more perfect combat skills displayed by the other party.
Although I have already experienced it once in the fourth level of the introductory assessment, standing under pressure and fighting under pressure are two completely different concepts.
Theoretically, just like the first layer, you can improve your actual combat skills through hundreds of battles. But with the existence of pressure, more time in the early stage is to overcome pressure from the outside, then the time spent on the same three hundred battles will definitely increase exponentially.
If you want to continue to break through the cultivation, the time will be extended.
To put it simply, Zhong Hou either chooses to improve his cultivation first and then go to the second layer to slowly adapt, or go to the second layer to adapt first and then slowly improve his cultivation.
After thinking about it, Zhong Hou felt that what he should face was to be faced sooner or later, maybe in the second layer, under pressure, he would break through faster.
After figuring it out, it was decided to kill the shadow clone directly, and then go up to the second layer.
