Chapter 15: Purgatory Training Camp
In the early morning of the next day, Li Luo woke up from his sleep, but received calls from Xiao Chen and Luo Xuan, both of whom said that there was a sudden emergency and they had to rush back.
Li Luo didn't say anything, just asked the two of them to pay more attention to safety.
In the following days, Li Luo lived a real lone ranger life, after two days of vacation, he resumed his normal work, and went to the No. 32 art hall every two days to practice his techniques as usual, and the rest of the time there was no communication, and no one could socialize, and the only partner was the jade tower.
Although the jade pagoda was quirky and often made Li Luo jump to his feet with anger, as time went by, he found that he liked it very much. Because only when he is with Xiaota, he can really let go of everything, don't think about anything, don't have any scruples, cry when he wants to, laugh when he wants to laugh, go crazy and make trouble together, grab food together, and sleep together!
Although Xiao Ta can't speak, but the strange postures and movements, always let him understand, and even gradually form a consensus, that is their unique communication language, or a kind of tacit understanding of the heart, and Xiao Ta's learning ability is even stronger to the point that he can slowly begin to read and write.
During this period, Li Luo also discovered the big secret of Xiaota.
It turns out that the small tower absorbing internal force is not only not a bad thing, but it is a great good thing for cultivators, because while absorbing internal force, it will feed back a very special kind of blue energy, which is very small every time, so little that it is almost unnoticed, but as time goes by, this energy is accumulating more and more.
As for the effect, he has only found one so far, but even so, it is shocking enough.
These energies are actually the same as some strange treasures or formations, which can help people accelerate the absorption and transformation of the aura of heaven and earth, and from his current situation, it has climbed to about five times the original amount, and even as time continues, this multiple is still increasing.
The only drawback is that Xiao Ta will suck people into the point where they lose all their skills every time and have to practice again, but for the skyrocketing cultivation speed, it is still worth it. After all, the more energy there is, the more speed at which the body absorbs the Transformation Aura, which increases permanently.
Of course, this increase in speed cannot be without limits, otherwise wouldn't it be a reversal?
This point, Li Luo also got confirmation from the small tower, and by asking the numbers next to each other like double, double, and triple, he finally knew the limit speed from the reaction of the small tower.
This limit was twenty times his current absorption rate.
What is the concept of twenty times?
Although he was a waste material before, it was entirely because he couldn't condense the eighth cyclone, and as for the speed of spiritual power absorption and transformation, it was top-notch among ordinary people. As far as he knew, even the rumored rare geniuses, the absorption and transformation speed of the aura was only fifteen to twenty times that of ordinary people, and those that exceeded eighteen times were also rare among the genius group.
That is to say, obtaining this blue energy, at least in terms of the absorption and transformation speed of spiritual power by the body itself, is already comparable to that of the strongest talent!
The pie fell out of thin air in the sky, and the waste wood turned into a genius, as if in a dream, how could Li Luo not be ecstatic?
As the internal force was sucked dry again and again, the speed at which he absorbed the spiritual energy also jumped rapidly, reaching the limit of twenty times in less than a month. Whenever he practiced, the aura from all directions continued to converge here, but fortunately, his realm was low after all, and the total amount of attraction was not large, otherwise he would alarm the neighbors of the entire community.
After that, the jade pagoda no longer absorbed his internal strength, but every time he cultivated, it would still cling to him.
One cyclone, two cyclones, three cyclones......
Everything that followed became logical, since there were no obstacles to cultivation, no bottlenecks, and his body had already reached the requirements, so at twenty times the speed of spiritual qi transformation, it took him more than a month to cultivate to the seventh layer of the mortal level again, and he confidently hit the eighth layer of the mortal level again.
"With such a strong aura and such a fast aura transformation speed, how can it be impossible to break through the level of the eighth layer of the mortal level!
Li Luo was full of confidence, and with the encouragement expressed by Xiao Ta's actions, he sat cross-legged on the ground again and began his impact on the eighth layer of the mortal level.
The cyclone in the dantian, which was like seven galaxies, began to run rapidly, gushing out energy and circulating in the body. According to the requirements of the "Basic Method", the impact of the eighth cyclone requires the internal force to run for 36 weeks, and when the internal force is at its most stable and strong at this stage, it will condense the eighth cyclone on the right side of the seventh cyclone.
I don't know how long it took, Li Luo successfully completed the thirty-six Zhou Tian exercises, mobilizing his internal force with his mind, and constantly surging towards the edge of the dantian. Before condensing the eighth cyclone, he needed to open up the inner space and leave enough space for the condensation cyclone.
Originally, this pioneering process was the most difficult, but for Li Luo, he was already familiar with this pioneering process, and it only took a few breaths for him to expand into a sufficient position, and it was very stable. For others, completing this step is equivalent to success, and the next step is to endure the severe pain and keep the mind calm to break through. But for him, it's just the beginning.
As the pain hits, the internal force forms an air mass there, which is constantly compressing and condensing, while the other seven cyclones continue to release internal forces to transport to it. In addition, the aura from the outside world also flocked in, becoming a creative force and quickly joining it.
Now Li Luo's aura absorption speed that has increased by twenty times is not fast, it stands to reason that it should be easier to condense the cyclone, but for some reason, he always feels that it seems to be more difficult, and that kind of repulsion is actually stronger, in short, it is almost a little, and it can't break through in life or death.
Ordinary people don't have this kind of repulsion when they condense a cyclone, only he has it!
At this time, the little tower that had been attached to his abdomen also noticed this strange situation, and suddenly broke away from his body, and the spire of the tower was crooked, as if thinking.
Suddenly, the little tower seemed to think of something, and the spire suddenly straightened up, and it slammed into Li Luo's heart!
"Ahh
With a miserable scream, Li Luo woke up from his meditation, clutching his chest in pain.
"Little Tower, what's going on?"
The little tower flew anxiously in the air several times, as if trying to express something.
Li Luo clutched his chest and said bitterly: "Don't you know how to write our words?
Xiao Ta was stunned for a moment, then "swished" to the floor, and quickly began to write.
Li Luo watched intently as it wrote out every stroke, and whispered silently.
"You, body, up, have, secret, secret, body, inside, good, many, seal, seal!"
"What? How is this possible? At the beginning, the school invited a lot of strong people to see it for me, if there was a seal, how could I not know?" Li Luo looked up at Xiao Ta in shock.
Xiao Ta wrote again: The seal is very strong, they may not be strong enough to detect it. The weakest seal is one that you have placed on yourself, and it has become one with yourself, and it cannot be seen below the heavenly level, and there is also something growing in your chest socket!
"How could I seal myself? And what's growing in my chest?"
Xiao Ta was silent for a long time this time, as if he was thinking about something, and wrote again for a long time: You should have practiced a very strange exercise before, entering a state of self-sealing, and I don't have the ability to find out what it is. As for what grows in your chest socket, I can't see it, and I'm afraid no one can see it at the moment, it's just a feeling, and I seem to be awakened by it!
Li Luo was so shocked that he couldn't be more shocked, not only because of so many mysteries on his body, but also because of Xiao Ta's erudition.
"Little Tower, what the hell are you? How do you know so much? Can you help me?"
Xiao Ta exuded a sense of confusion, and wrote slowly: I don't know! Only when something happens, I can occasionally remember a few relevant memories, and I can't help you!"
"Hey, I'm really connected by the same fate. Li Luo was disappointed and said helplessly: "But how can I solve the problem on my body now?"
This time, the small tower was very resolute, and wrote slowly but forcefully on the ground: Go to a strange environment, how fun it is to do strange things! In short, it will be difficult for you to break through if you are trapped here, and the more I go out to see, the more knowledge and memory will be recovered, and maybe it can solve your problem!
............
Ever since Li Luo learned what was wrong with him, his heart was completely alive. Although it is difficult to solve his problem according to Xiaota, at least he understands that he is not a waste material, not hopeless, as long as he can see the way forward, then no matter how difficult it is, he has the confidence to solve it.
Now without much persuasion from Xiaota, he himself decided to leave this small home where he had lived for several years. Although there are too many memories of him here, he is very reluctant, but he can no longer see the way forward here, only by going out and going to the wider world outside, can he find a solution to his own problems and change his fate.
The question that haunts him now is where to go and what to start with.
In the next half month, while working, Li Luo inquired about all kinds of strange things on the Internet, and had no clue.
After getting off work that evening, he went to the No. 32 Art Hall to practice as usual, but he didn't expect to meet Director Lu as soon as he walked into the No. 2 hall.
Hall 32 has more than 30 floors, which are divided into many different types of practice places. Hall 2 is a very ordinary hall for martial artists, basically all mortal-level minors and martial cultivators who have just stepped into the human-level red stone steps to practice here, and the equipment is relatively simple.
Director Lu rarely goes to the ordinary hall, and when he first met Li Luo, it was entirely because he heard about his peculiarity, so he came down to observe. Although he couldn't solve Li Luo's problem, he took a fancy to his concentration, diligence and strong will in practice, especially the fighting talent he showed, which made him greatly admire, so he often came down to see him.
Since the last time he competed with Hu Wei in Hall 2, Li Luo hadn't seen Director Lu for a long time, so he immediately took the initiative to greet him.
"Hello Director Lu, I haven't seen you for a long time, what have you been busy with lately, how can you have time to come to Hall 2 today?"
Curator Lu smiled, the hideous scar on his face was still very eye-catching.
"Of course, it's because of you, I've calculated that today is the day for you to practice, and I've been waiting for you here for a while!"
"Wait for me, is there anything Curator Lu is looking for me?" Li Luo was confused.
"It's not convenient to talk here, let's go to my office first!"
"Oh!" Li Luo answered, and followed Director Lu to the elevator, slightly puzzled in his heart. Because of the friendship for more than two years, although Director Lu has taken good care of him, and even often came down to guide him to practice, but now it is the first time to take him to the office.
The elevator did not stop, and soon went straight to the thirty-ninth floor, and Director Lu did not speak along the way, until he arrived at a gate like a ghost, his footsteps stopped, looked back at Li Luo and said, "This is my office, how about it?
"It's good, it's good, but it's ......," Li Luo hesitated and didn't continue.
"Why, do you think this decoration is a little scary?"
Li Luo nodded: "Well, the appearance of this ghost is too realistic, and the appearance is terrifying, I am not afraid of the curator's jokes, if I see it at night, I am afraid that I will be really frightened! Why did the curator set the door of the office like this?"
"Hahaha!" "Pavilion Master Lu couldn't stop laughing. "Because this scar on my face is due to this ghost-like thing, he is the target I will kill one day, so I will put him here and remember him at all times!"
Li Luo thought he was joking, and then laughed and said, "Curator Lu is really joking!"
"What? don't you believe it, think I'm scaring you?" Director Lu looked over solemnly.
Seeing his appearance, Li Luo hesitated and said, "Wouldn't it?
"I don't know if there are ghosts, but the ghost clan does, and people are also one of their food ranges, and they are very powerful!"
"This ......" Li Luo was messy, suddenly a little overwhelmed, and looked at Director Lu suspiciously, but found that he didn't mean to joke at all, not only did his expression look very solemn, but even his eyes burst with bursts of fine light, containing unforgettable hatred.
"Director Lu, if there really is any ghost clan, why have you never heard of it?"
"There are many people who know, but either they have special status, or they belong to the strong, the world government has a clear rule, no one can spread it to people who cannot get involved in such incidents, and anyone who spreads it wantonly will be arrested in the name of spreading rumors and disturbing social order. Besides, no matter whether it is good or evil, there is still a strong agreement between the strong in this world, which includes not spreading these, besides, no one is willing to spread it, as for why, you will know in the future!"
Li Luo stood on the spot, unable to imagine what Director Lu said, and suddenly felt that this world was so illusory, and he didn't know it.
"Let's go, let's go in first and talk slowly!"
Director Lu probably knew that he couldn't accept it for a while, so he said with a smile, then opened the door of the office and walked in slowly.
Li Luo followed Curator Lu into the office as if sleepwalking, and it wasn't until he sat down on the sofa and drank the tea that Curator Lu made himself that he really came back to his senses.
"Curator, if you tell me this today, aren't you afraid of being charged?"
Curator Lu smiled and said meaningfully: "The rules are dead, but people are alive!" Besides, today I originally wanted to tell you that there is a place that may be able to solve the problem that you can't break through the eighth layer of the mortal level, if you choose to go, then naturally you should know this, I don't think you will refuse, so just say it!"
Li Luo was stunned for a moment, and then stood up violently.
"Curator Lu, are you serious?"
"Hey, calm down first, don't get so excited!" Director Lu waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down first.
Li Luo also found his gaffe, took a deep breath, and smiled awkwardly.
"I'm sorry, I'm so excited!"
Director Lu shook his head nonchalantly, and waited for him to sit back on the sofa, then he said solemnly: "Li Luo, I just said that it is possible, not absolutely, but it is certain that at least it is easier to find a solution over there, and you have the right to make your own choice." It's just that the ugly words are ahead, it's not heaven over there, it's hell, if you choose to go over, then a comfortable and peaceful life will be far away from you, and death and battle will be the main theme of your life!"
All these years of humiliation, all these years of life, Li Luo has long had enough, almost didn't think about it, and nodded directly.
"Curator Lu, I'll go!"
"Are you sure?"
"Sure!"
"Don't need to think about it?"
"No need!"
Curator Lu smiled, appreciating it with a little relief: "Okay! Congratulations on becoming a student of the Great Purgatory Training Camp, a direct agency of the World Government!"
"Purgatory training camp?
"Yes, you will face the torment of purgatory in the future. An unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded.
Li Luo turned his head to look, but saw that in the corner not far away, the space was twisting violently, and before he could react, a handsome man with long blond hair suddenly appeared. He sat casually in the corner, his eyes fixed on the delicate staff lying across his thigh, his hands gently wiping it.
He didn't make any moves because of Li Luo and Director Lu's gaze, he still kept his status quo, but said lightly: "Li Luo, come here on time at eight o'clock in the morning in three days, you still have time to regret it for the last time, I hope you think about it carefully." There is no one in the Purgatory Training Camp who can help you, either you are strong or you can only die!"
"Is it really possible to solve a problem that I can't break through?"
"It's really the best opportunity for you right now!"
"That's it! Thank you!" Li Luo was categorical.
