CH.247 Penance
Donk only had a general idea of the situation that day, and after saying goodbye to Daddarion, he returned to the Black Pearl. Along the way, the doors of the houses on both sides remained closed, and he did not encounter any obstacles. It can be seen that Dadarian is quite a threat to the entire Caiyun Village, and just a few words make the people in the village dare not embarrass Tang Ke anymore.
Donk returned to the Black Pearl and told Elizabeth about the day, and explained that he would be away for a while. He has to practice tacit understanding with Dadarian, and he has to practice hard, and he can't go back and forth, so he can only live in Caiyun Village temporarily. After listening to this, Elizabeth told Donk to be careful and take care of himself, and then went to prepare some clothes and food. In the evening, Donk and Elizabeth had a long talk, and although the content was all rambling, the two talked vigorously.
The moonlight outside the window is curling, and the stars are brilliant on the low-hanging sky, as if they are within reach. With this beautiful scenery in place, the atmosphere in the captain's room becomes romantic and ambiguous.
Donk's topic was gone, and he silently stared at Elizabeth in his arms, the other party was looking out of the porthole, as quiet as an orchid, with beautiful cheeks glowing at the edges, and his eyes were surprisingly pure, more agile than the moon outside. There was the temperature of Elizabeth's body in the crook of his arm, and the palm of his hand was slightly forced, feeling the softness of the woman's waist.
Elizabeth was very provocative, and after being touched a few times, she turned her head and cast a strange look with a red face, looking delicate and moving.
"Why are you still not honest when you are covered in wounds?"
"A man who can still be honest with you in his arms doesn't exist in the world." Donk is deeply in love, and has long been greedy for Elizabeth, but unfortunately his body is injured, and no matter how greedy he is, he can't mess around. For Elizabeth's first night, quality and quantity must be guaranteed. But tomorrow will be a short separation, and it is not too much to advance a little sweetness tonight.
"You've got injuries, stop messing around." Elizabeth lifted her rounded index finger and tapped Donk's forehead.
"The real mess is behind you." Tang Ke did not retreat but advanced, inch by inch, his left hand became more and more dishonest, slid into the gap between the hem of Elizabeth's clothes, and touched the flat lower abdomen, only to feel soft and smooth, and the touch was strong.
"Hehe, take your hand away, it's itching......" Elizabeth chuckled, arching herself to avoid the ravaging hand. She is untouched, her body is very sensitive, and she itches when she touches it.
Horny and horny, he raised his right black hand, carefully grabbed Elizabeth's shoulder, and pressed his entire upper body down. He gagged Elizabeth's mouth with his lips to prevent Elizabeth from saying a word of refusal, and his left hand took the opportunity to go up and down, touching it unscrupulously.
Elizabeth was so itchy and hot that she let Donk mess around with half a push. However, in her mind, she always held on to a trace of clarity, and would not let Donk cross that last line of defense tonight.
The bed under the two of them squeaked, mingling with the sound of wheezing, breaking the silence of the night...... After a brief period of sweetness, from the next day, Donk threw himself into a life of asceticism. He found Dardarian, and the two entered the Hidden Sword Tower side by side, ready to sweat inside.
Regarding the first three floors of the Hidden Sword Tower, Tang Ke has completely mastered it. The library and showroom on each floor have not changed, but the quality is getting higher and higher. Only the cultivation room is changing layer by layer, and each is different.
The cultivation room on the first floor has a strange gravity, and when a swordsman is in it, he will feel very difficult to even take a step, and if he stays in it for a while, he will be tired and half dead, which is very beneficial for honing his physical strength; Void fires will emerge from the cultivation room on the second floor, and if the number of void fires exceeds ten, they will condense into a pillar of fire, so it is necessary to extinguish them before they condense. In his subsequent cultivation, Tang Ke once stayed too long, and the speed at which the Void Flames appeared exceeded his speed, causing the number of Void Flames to reach ten, and he was punished. Fortunately, he dodged in time and was not pierced by a finger-thick pillar of fire. In his opinion, it was not so much a pillar of fire as a red laser ray. From then on, when he was cultivating in the second layer cultivation room, he became more attentive.
The cultivation room on the third floor is used to cultivate the strength in the body, and the ground in the room will spew out bursts of air, which can cultivate the control of the energy.
After the energy in the body is released outside the body, it becomes sword qi. The sword qi directly affects the strength of the swordsman, and it is also the basic condition for performing various sword skills.
Tang Ke and Dadarian have a first-order strength difference, but in terms of the quality and scope of sword qi, the two are simply very different. Last time, it was Daddarian who deliberately gave in, otherwise, with Daddarian's five-yard sword qi range, Tang Ke wouldn't even be able to get close.
"You have to concentrate on feeling the flow of energy in your body, guiding it, and then releasing it." Daddarian reminded in a wistful manner.
Tang Ke was in the cultivation room on the third floor, and on the ground under his feet, there were many fine holes, from which air currents erupted upward.
This kind of air flow is called "soft qi", and the special surname is very similar to the "jin qi" in the swordsman's body, which can be absorbed by the human body itself, and can even be infused into the meridians in the body and run as energy qi. The strength in the swordsman's body is just a little bit, and when it is used up, it is gone, and it has to be recovered through a long rest. Therefore, in this aspect of cultivation, there is really a weak heart. However, with the help of this "soft qi", this qi can be used as energy, mimicking the process of running energy, and then improving the skill of running energy.
Although "soft qi" is much softer than real strength, if luck goes wrong, it will still damage the body and have a certain danger. But then again, Tang Ke finally said that he was with the sword, and he had long been accustomed to danger or something.
Tang Ke stood in the soft qi, letting the soft qi pour into his body, he closed his eyes, carefully felt everything in his body, guided the operation of the soft qi with his heart, and then discharged the soft qi from the open palm. Whenever he made a mistake, the soft qi would run through his body and then rush out from other places, causing severe pain in his body. He thought back to the way Daddarian had just demonstrated, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, if Daddarian was standing in the soft air flow, he could train as many as a dozen soft air currents honestly, but he couldn't do it for the time being.
"If we want to cut through the 'Gate Enchantment', not only do we have to keep the sword out at the same time, but we also have to be exactly the same in the direction of the sword qi. Only in this way can you imitate a blow that rivals that of a sixth-order swordsman! So, you'll have to hone your luck as well, and this is the place for you. You have to work hard. I can't wait to break out of this cage. Daddarion rubbed his scabbard in boredom.
"Don't worry. I'm in a hurry to get out of here more than you are, because I have a lot of unfinished business out there. "Donk has a pact with Goldbeard, and he has to find a way to lift the curse on his body, both of which are crucial things.
"Oh? Yes. Your life in the outside world must be interesting, right? ”
"It's really funny, I have a lot of brothers out there, and we're never lonely together. We venture through the vast and boundless world, fighting enemies together, living and dying together, never abandoning. Do you want me to tell you about the outside world? As soon as Donk finished speaking, because he was distracted, another soft qi diverged out of his chest, and he grinned in pain.
"No, I don't need you to tell me, I want to see the outside world with my own eyes. Okay, you concentrate on practicing. I won't bother you. Dadarian smiled and glanced at Donk's pained expression, and then he also walked into another soft air flow, closing his eyes and cultivating.
In this way, the cultivation life of the two kicked off in full swing. From then on, the two of them stayed in the Hidden Sword Tower every day, went to practice when they opened their eyes, and lay down on the ground to sleep when they were very tired. With the two of them occupying this tower, no other swordsman dares to cultivate here, but it is a bit of a dove occupying the magpie's nest. The two of them have a high vigilance even when they sleep, and if they hear the sound of fighting, they will wake up immediately, and they don't have to worry about the villagers daring to sneak attack at this time, so they can cultivate with peace of mind and don't have to worry about anything.
The two of them have not yet started the cultivation of the cooperation between the two, so the main cultivation content is for Tang Ke, and Dadarian is just accompanied. Dadarian claimed that as long as Tang Ke's heat was sufficient, he would start practicing the two-person cooperation, and there was a cultivation room on the fourth floor suitable for practicing this content.
Tang Ke began to shuttle back and forth between the first, second, and third layers, cultivating physical strength on the first layer, cultivating speed and accuracy on the second layer, and cultivating the control of sword qi on the third layer. He made a hundred and twenty percent effort, and every day all he thought about in his head was the word cultivation, and everything else was put aside for the time being.
The words passed so quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed, and Tang Ke's strength had increased with the words, and the wounds on his body had recovered as before.
Tang Ke was able to withstand the cultivation room on the first floor for an hour, on the second floor he could block up to seven rounds of Void Fire attacks, and on the third floor he was able to evenly regulate eleven soft air currents. These are all tangible cultivation results, indicating that he has improved in all aspects.
In addition, when he is too tired, he will go to the library to flip through books. He has the help of the system, and every time he sees an unfamiliar skill book, he can automatically scan it into the system, and he can spend reward points to learn. The library of the three-story tower has a large collection of books, which has led to an explosion of skills in the Donk system. However, no matter how many skills he scans, if he doesn't have bonus points to learn, he just puts them there to dry his eyes.
The sword skills in the lower three layers are all ordinary, and Tang Ke will not waste reward points on them, as for learning in reality, he does not have enough time, so he has not improved in terms of skills, at most he has deepened his impression of some various sword skills. What he really looked forward to was the skill books on the fourth and fifth floors, where if he encountered good skills, it would be okay to learn one or two. But the premise is that the sword skill he learned must greatly improve his strength!
As for Donk's progress over the past few days, Dadarian claims to have barely lived up to expectations and hasn't disappointed him too much. Regarding Dadarian's statement that standing without back pain, Donk could only shake his head and smile.
Tang Ke estimated the time, it was less than four months before the agreed date with Goldbeard, and it would take two months to get to Duel Island from here, which was only possible if the Black Pearl had the acceleration of the Dark Sea. Extrapolating from this, Donk only has two months left! After these two months, even if he breaks away from the sea of clouds, he will face the wrath of the golden beard, and then he will have to worry about his life.
In order to get out of trouble as soon as possible, Tang Ke took advantage of the fact that his body was in a state of total victory, indicating that he would go up to the next level, go up to defeat the guardian spirit of the fourth layer, and go there to practice the cooperation of the two early. There is a rule in this tower that as long as you defeat the guardian spirit on this level, as long as you do not leave the tower, you can move freely around the upper and lower levels. So just by defeating this time, you can cultivate to your heart's content on the fourth layer.
"Although you are obviously weaker than the guardian spirit of the fourth layer, it doesn't hurt to fight for it. But you have to be mentally prepared that you will be severely injured if you don't do it. I won't be able to rescue you then, because the penalty for violating the one-on-one rule in the tower is severe, and if I help you, the two of us will never be able to enter the tower again. Dadarian replied after a moment's reckoning.
"How powerful is the fourth-layer guardian spirit?" Tang Ke's eyebrows raised, this was beyond his expectations, he originally thought that the fourth-layer guardian spirit was only slightly stronger than him, but he didn't expect the gap to be so big.
"You can win against the guardian spirit of the first three layers with an absolute strength difference, but the guardian spirit of the fourth layer is of the same level as you, in my feeling, he is indeed more powerful than you, and he is more than a star and a half."
Donk's face sank and he said, "Even if he's much better than me, I'll have to go up and give it a try!" ”
"Well said, let's go up together. I'd miss that guardian spirit, and it's nice to have fun with two slashes on him. Dadarian laughed twice, resisted the knife, and swaggered to the staircase.
Donk took a deep breath and followed with a determined stride.
In the antechamber on the fourth floor of the Tibetan Sword Tower, a pile of silver-white metal blocks lay quietly on the ground, and on both sides of the metal pile, there was a long-handled broadsword. The long-handled broadsword is five yards long, the blade is as white as snow, and the long handle is as black as ink, without any decoration on it, and it looks unpretentious.
When Tang Ke saw those two long-handled broadswords, the first thing that came to mind was Guan Erye's Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and the two on the ground were simply copies!
The guardian spirit felt someone approaching, and after a crackling combination, it quickly formed a humanoid armor, standing proudly in front of the entrance, each holding a long pole and a big knife in the two hand armors, and played it twice, which suddenly aroused a burst of cold light and sword energy.
"With two such fierce long knives, are they still fucking called swordsmen?" Tang Ke scolded with red eyes.
"He can stab you to death with his sword qi, even if he uses a wooden stick, he is also a swordsman." Dadarion patted Donk on the back without sympathy, "Don't hesitate, go ahead!" ”
