Chapter 12: Beginning the second stage of practice
After Situ Yu left, Situ Zheng quickly adjusted his mentality and prepared to start the second stage of cultivation.
Situ Zheng began to silently take stock of the resources he currently had in his heart: "Cold Jade Sword, "Burning Sun", "Instantaneous Sky", the cultivation of the first order of body refining, even if you haven't learned physical skills, it should be more than enough to deal with those five pseudo-divine beasts." ”
Although Situ Zheng was confident that his strength was now enough to kill those five pseudo-divine beasts, after all, he had not yet entered the body refining period before he could hang the pseudo-divine beasts, not to mention that he was now at the first order of the body refining stage, but he was not in a hurry, even if he killed them, the energy he obtained would not improve him much, so he decided to learn two body techniques first, so that his strength would usher in a significant increase.
After some thought, Situ Zheng decided to learn "Instantaneous Sky" first, which is a physical technique that can increase speed, and what he needs most now is speed, and he was escaped by the pseudo-divine beast before because of the shortcomings of speed.
And as long as he has enough speed, he can provide more opportunities for him to fight in close quarters, so maybe he can challenge the divine beast.
Deciding to cultivate "Instantaneous Sky" first, Situ Zheng didn't waste any more time, immediately sat cross-legged, and began to flip through the cultivation method of "Instantaneous Sky" in his mind.
As Situ Yu said, learning physical arts depends on talent, and it can even be said to rely on luck, once you understand it, you can use it immediately, and grow in the continuous practice in the future, so there is only one month left for Situ Zheng.
Situ Zheng closed his eyes and read the words in his mind, he didn't understand the content at all, but he was not in a hurry, he still had time to understand.
As time passed, after ten days, Situ Zheng had finally begun to have a vague understanding of what he had not understood before.
At this moment, Situ Zheng's hanging heart finally let go, and this vague understanding means that he will definitely be able to learn to be instantaneous!
Sure enough, in the next ten days, Situ Zheng's understanding of those words continued to deepen and clear, and he could feel that success was not far away.
After another five days, Situ Zheng successfully comprehended the content of "Instantaneous Space", and those obscure words became the method of operation of "Instantaneous Space".
Situ Zheng sat up excitedly, it only took him twenty-five days to comprehend "Instantaneous Sky"! But this sudden turn made him almost lose his footing.
Only then did he realize that he hadn't eaten for twenty-five days, and his understanding of "Instantaneous Sky" made him a little sleepless and forgetful.
After the monk enters the refining period, he still needs to eat, and only after reaching the spirit gathering period, he does not need to eat again, and the body of the monk in the spirit gathering period will automatically absorb the spiritual energy to meet all the energy required for the operation of the body, even if he eats, it is just to satisfy the appetite of the mouth.
Situ Zheng's body also became a little shriveled due to dehydration, and he felt that his whole person had lost weight several times, looking like a zombie.
"Whew~"
Exhaled a breath of turbidity, Situ Zheng felt unprecedented exhaustion at the moment, if he starved for another month, he might starve to death.
However, Situ Zheng, who had successfully comprehended the physical arts, was not in a hurry to rest, but immediately began to run the power of qi and blood according to the "Instantaneous Space" method that he had just comprehended.
The power of qi and blood continued to regress through his already somewhat shriveled tendons, and when the power of qi and blood accumulated to a zero boundary point, Situ Zheng stepped out and moved a distance of ten zhang at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye.
Situ Zheng himself was a little shocked, with such a speed, he no longer had to worry about the prey running away, and this was still the effect of his and his sluggish state, if he was in the best state now, the effect would only be better.
The most important thing is that after casting an instantaneous space, Situ Zheng did not feel more tired, which means that the consumption of the yin instantaneous space on the body is very small! Absolutely low consumption, high returns!
"It's worthy of physical skills, the consumption is so small, if I continue to launch the Instant Sky in battle, I can almost be invincible."
After a burst of excitement, a feeling of weakness came again, and Situ Zheng finally couldn't support it anymore.
Situ Zheng raised his dry firewood hand, grabbed the King Kong Quenching Body Fruit and the deep-sea giant whale meat and began to eat it.
After being eaten, the Vajra Quenching Body Fruit and the Deep Sea Giant Whale Meat were also quickly turned into energy and absorbed by Situ Zheng's body.
These energies turned into a warm current and flowed throughout Situ Zheng's body, and Situ Zheng's originally somewhat shriveled body began to quickly become full, and soon returned to its original body shape.
After completely absorbing the energy of the Vajra Quenching Body Fruit and the Deep Sea Giant Whale Meat, Situ Zheng stood up from the ground, his eyes shining with essence.
This year's cultivation has greatly changed Situ Zheng's temperament, a wild aura swims in his body, and his strong aggression is as presumptuous as a beast.
At this moment, his strength has made a qualitative leap, and the speed increase brought by the instant space can allow him to exert his melee strength to the extreme, and he no longer has to worry about being distanced from the battle with the spirit beast.
The divine beasts didn't talk about it for the time being, but Situ Zheng didn't forget the situation when he was constantly ridiculed by those pseudo-divine beasts before.
"This time, I'm going to let those so-called pseudo-divine beasts die at my hands one by one! I couldn't catch up with him before, but this time I don't want to escape from my palm! ”
Situ Zheng's body has returned to its peak state after some recovery, he has not been in actual combat since he reached the first level of body refining, and the pseudo-divine beast can just be used as his testing stone.
The instantaneous space that he just learned also needs to be tempered, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in the instantaneous space, Situ Zheng decided to find face on the pseudo-divine beast and temper the instantaneous space he just learned.
So after a lapse of two months, Situ Zheng finally stepped into the Phantom Forest again.
At the moment when Situ Zheng walked out of the safe zone, there seemed to be a subtle change in the forest in front of him, but he couldn't see the difference from before.
At the same time, Situ Zheng felt that his body suddenly sank, and it was the gravity that changed!
Stepping into the Forest of Illusions again, it meant that the second stage of the practice had officially begun, and gravity had increased tenfold.
"Damn! I almost forgot about gravity, the gravity of this cultivation room suddenly increased tenfold, and the impact on my combat power was not small, but it was not a big problem, and it should be no problem to deal with those pseudo-divine beasts before. ”
But Situ Zheng didn't think about the problem, that is, the strength of the spirit beasts in the Illusion Forest, since his strength has improved, will the strength of the spirit beasts still stand still?
You must know that the spirit beasts in the Illusion Forest will not be affected by gravity, which makes the difficulty of Situ Zheng's cultivation a notch.
I still remember that when I first came to the cultivation room, it was because of carelessness that I entered the Phantom Forest in a hurry before I could adapt to gravity, and I met the Night Shadow Cat, and I almost lost my life.
With the painful lesson of the last time, Situ Zheng did not rush to go deep into the Illusion Forest, but moved his body on the spot to see how much the gravity increase affected him.
He tried to throw a punch, but the power was not as strong as before, and he moved some distance further to the edge of the Phantom Forest, his speed dropping.
Although his abilities were partially reduced by gravity, he came to the conclusion that twenty times the force of gravity would not affect his normal movements.
After continuing to acclimatize to the periphery of the Phantom Forest for a while, Situ Zheng began to head deeper into the forest.
After Situ Zheng had advanced for a distance, he finally encountered the first spirit beast, which was a steel-backed pig of the first order of body refining.
The steelback pig has long spikes on its back, and these spines are very hard, which can be used not only as a weapon to attack enemies, but also as armor.
Speaking of which, when Situ Zheng encountered the steelback pig in the first stage of the Phantom Forest before, he could only outwit them, find a way to attack their lower plates, and defeat them by attacking their weak points.
But the current Situ Zheng is different, the previous Situ Zheng was bare-handed, and the current Situ Zheng already has a weapon, the Han Jade Sword.
Situ Zheng took out the Hanyu Sword from the storage ring, the steelback pig has extremely strong defense, and it is just right to use it to test the power of the Hanyu Sword.
The steelback pig is extremely aggressive, and when it sees someone approaching it, the spikes in its back instantly explode, and it decisively uses its sharp fangs to attack.
However, the current speed of the steelback pig was like slow motion in front of Situ Zheng, and Situ Zheng easily dodged the steelback pig's fangs attack.
Seeing that his speed couldn't keep up with Situ Zheng, the steel-backed pig immediately erected the steel needle on his back, and at the same time launched one towards Situ Zheng.
It seems that the steelback pig has changed its strategy and is ready to rely on ranged attacks to win.
The steel needle shot towards Situ Zheng like a sharp arrow, and Situ Zheng waved his jade sword and easily bounced the steel needle away.
The blow was fruitless, the steelback pig did not stop attacking, and continued to fire steel needles at Situ Zheng, Situ Zheng waved the cold jade sword in his hand again, while quickly approaching the steelback pig.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the steel-backed pig immediately stopped attacking and curled up its body, while retracting the steel needles to protect its exposed back.
Seeing this, Situ Zheng did not stop, holding the cold jade sword, and slashed at the back of the steel-backed pig.
In an instant, the steel needle on the back of the steel-backed pig was cut off, blood was splashed, and the steel-backed pig that lost the protection of the steel needle was immediately split in half by Situ Zheng.
The blood on the cold jade sword turned into frost after a while, and as soon as Situ Zheng shook the sword body, the blood turned into ice slag and fell.
The sharpness of the Han Jade Sword was beyond Situ Zheng's imagination, and it broke through the defense of the steelback pig so easily.
With the Hanyu Sword, it has offset the impact of gravity increase, and it should be said that it has also increased Situ Zheng's combat power while offsetting the impact.
Situ Zheng glanced at the cold jade sword that was shining with cold light, and the love in his eyes was undisguised.
After putting the Hanyu Sword into the storage ring, Situ Zheng began to look for his next prey again.
