Chapter Twenty-Three: Counterattack of the Dragon

The pines and cypresses in the forest, the distant mountains, the towers and monuments in the mountains, are overturned in the morning light again.

There is no smoke from the industrial age, no resource crisis that is about to be exhausted. There is only clean air with a very high oxygen content, and there are rare and exotic beasts that stretch all over the place. It's just that these strange beasts, at this moment, dare not approach the hillock in the forest ahead.

The spiritual veins are just formed, and thousands of beasts worship!

Everything last night was like a warm monsoon that swept silently across the earth's sea, and no one saw it, and no one knew what it meant.

On the top of the mound, a black shadow was running rapidly, so fast that it was almost impossible to see a thick layer of pines and cypresses on the ground suddenly burst out in all directions when the black shadow landed and borrowed strength, and it was almost impossible to see the appearance of people's clothes. The black shadow quickly approached a big tree where the two of them were hugging each other and kicked out, but the timing of this kick was not right anyway, and the figure slammed into the tree!

There was a loud bang, and the big tree was crooked, but it didn't fall. But it's as if some great power is coming out of it. The crackling sound was incessant, and the tree suddenly swelled by more than a third, but the countless wood thorns and wood fibers on the surface had already cracked!

Although the tree did not fall, it was enough to see the consequences of the impact.

Yang Ze was almost slapped on the big tree, and then fell from the tree, his feet retreated, but it was difficult to control the speed of the retreat, and he crashed into the low flower forest with a whoosh! I barely got up from the flowers, and my head and body were full of broken leaf petals, and I was extremely embarrassed.

Yang Ze, who was embarrassed, got up excitedly, looking at his feet full of explosiveness and speed in disbelief. It's like watching a movie in slow motion all the time, and suddenly the camera speed is slowed down several times, and it's hard to get used to.

So far, Yang Ze's muscle burst strength and speed are several times faster than before, just like a child who only learns to walk, and has the power to run with every step, and it is difficult to control this speed.

He jumped three or four meters away, not exactly where he would jump, but suddenly jumped to the canopy of a big tree seven or eight meters away on the opposite side.

He ran at full speed, often the obstacles in front of him were far away just now, and in an instant they were already in front of him, and he didn't even have time to dodge. Collide head-on.

But Yang Ze is happy to do it. It's as if you're showing off your explosiveness and speed, running wildly across the hill, sometimes falling, sometimes flying straight away, or crashing into the trees. After his repaired spiritual vein, it actually made the true qi of the body protector strong for a while, and he couldn't hurt him for a while.

A spirit beast in the forest, the most good at speed, the Night Blade Leopard, was initially very unaccustomed to Yang Ze showing off like this, and ran wildly with him, but the speed was getting farther and farther, and then this Night Blade Leopard screamed for a long time, and even his shadow could not be captured, and finally he simply sulked a little farther away, not caring about Yang Ze who was running behind him.

The explosiveness and speed of the body have increased in a straight line, and not only that, but the life energy in the body seems to be difficult to exhaust. Life energy includes physical energy and true qi from the sea of qi, which obviously finally reflected the value of the spiritual vein after the restoration of Yang Ze's spiritual vein, and he was able to "feel" that his true qi was "blue", the color of turquoise.

However, this kind of true qi, which is colorless and tasteless and imperceptible, mysteriously shows the original "hue" in his mind.

"So far, your water spirit vein is only in its infancy, which means that the defects have been repaired, but it is still relatively weak. The level of True Qi in your body now is only slightly stronger than that of cultivators who have cultivated the four qualities in the traditional sense. It doesn't fully show the advantage of true qi. If you want to see a clear advantage, at least your water spirit vein must reach the second step 'river cart handling' to see the difference. The old man of the Yuan Shen poured a basin of cold water on Yang Ze, who was already hot-headed, in a timely manner.

The water spirit veins in Yang Ze's body can only be regarded as repaired and formed at present, and they are only as slender as hair. If you want to cultivate the water veins in the perfect ancient spirit veins, you still have to go through four steps, which are [River Car Transportation], [Six Vibrations], [Holding the Veins and Concentrating], and [Life Perfection]. Now it is only the qualifications and foundation to compete for higher levels.

However, he knew that this was also under the extremely high standards of the Yuan Shen. You must know that when the masters clash with each other, a slight gap is enough to determine the interval between life and death. After he repaired the spiritual vein, his true qi level actually increased by leaps and bounds, surpassing the average line, but you must know that there are countless cultivators in the Guishan Continent, and he has surpassed the average line of the same level, so he doesn't know how many people have been crushed to death. This is only a hair-thin spiritual vein, if the spiritual vein continues to grow stronger, what kind of state will it be at that time?

"But so far, at least the advantages of the water vein are still reflected, and your current explosiveness and speed are far beyond ordinary people. It can also surpass the same level of physical cultivation. The old man of the Yuan Shen perfectly carried forward the style of playing a stick and giving a carrot, "But that's just speed and explosiveness, and there is still a gap between strength and physical strength." ”

Cultivators penetrate the qi of heaven and earth, cultivate the true qi in the body, and cultivate the ten thousand laws in the world. Physical cultivation is one of the branches, which is to cultivate one's own physique, and have the ability to be unshakable by swords and axes, and invincible to fire and water in the mortal world. has reached a high level of physical cultivation, and even has the strength of the body to resist the wind and thunder. Only the supernatural powers of the practitioner can inflict harm on them. Yang Ze is not a physical cultivator, but after the spiritual vein is small, he actually surpasses a cultivator who specializes in physical cultivation in some aspects of his body, which is unheard of.

"I can feel that the spiritual veins in my body are very "slender" now, since absorbing the external spiritual energy can help my spiritual veins to be upgraded and upgraded. Does that mean that I only need to find more things that contain the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and then absorb them, and then I will experience the spiritual veins of my body, and sooner or later, I will become stronger and stronger, and then upgrade, and finally reach the point of perfect spiritual veins. Yang Ze was extremely excited.

In fact, if he let others know about this idea, he will probably faint to death immediately. Most of the spirit rune masters, craftsmen, and so on who can use the spiritual energy, if they want to absorb the second-order spirit crystal nucleus in Yang Ze's hand, it is a slow process, as fast as a few days, as slow as half a month to a month, or even a few months.

Absorbing and absorbing the heaven and earth aura in spiritual objects is an extremely sophisticated technique, which must be slow and not sloppy. If you are not careful, the destruction of spiritual objects is a child, and there will be a possibility that the aura will get out of control and even endanger your life.

How to make the most of the aura and the most efficient use of the aura will always be the eternal proposition of those spirit rune masters, craftsmen, and elixir masters. If an elixir master can write a book that teaches fellow professionals to increase the utilization rate of spiritual energy in spiritual objects by 10 percent, he will immediately become an expert in weft science that the state and major forces are vying for. Enjoy high-ranking officials and lords, and have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime.

And Yang Ze not only absorbed the entire second-order spirit crystal nucleus with very little waste, but even did it take only a few moments to complete all of this! And there are no other people's various restrictions, there are endless takes, how much aura is absorbed, and there is no limit to it.

"There's nothing wrong with saying that in theory. However, you must understand how precious things that contain the aura of heaven and earth. Now that your spiritual veins have just formed, absorbing some spiritual energy that is not of high purity and texture will not have much effect on your spiritual veins upgrading and broadening. If you want to improve, you must seek higher purity, better texture, and more aura. These items, with your current ability, are not easy to find, and even if they are found, there is still a question mark whether they will stay with you. So don't be too ambitious for the time being, and first improve the basic cultivation to the next level. ”

Higher-level spiritual objects are not easy to find. Of course, Yang Ze knew that if he didn't have Zhang Wuji's super luck golden finger that he could pick up the supreme treasure cheats by jumping off the cliff. Then those rare things that contain the aura of heaven and earth and have no owner for a hundred years will never appear in front of him.

Most of the spiritual treasures, spiritual weapons, spiritual objects, and spiritual elixirs containing high-level rich spiritual energy, if it weren't for the tens of thousands of gold pounds in the specialty stores, his eyes would be sore by gold at a glance. is in the hands of all kinds of powerful forces, and it is very well kept like a little daughter-in-law, and it is definitely not easy for him to get involved now.

Of course, the spirit beast also has a spirit crystal nucleus in its body, but the higher-level spirit beast Yang Ze is somewhat self-aware, and even a great cultivator would not dare to provoke him easily, let alone a guy in the realm of artistic conception.

These earth-sea spirit beasts around him showed unprecedentedly friendly and surrendered to him. Although there are some third-order spirit beasts among them, it is true that not every spirit beast has a spirit crystal nucleus in its body, and the probability is very small. Second, Yang Ze is not cruel and murderous, if he does not threaten himself, he will not make a move on anything. Spirit beasts are not chickens, ducks, geese, and fish, their intelligence is not low, and some are even human-like, and they show their recognition and acceptance of themselves, and let themselves slaughter these spirit beasts that are subordinate to themselves with their backhands, which is absolutely difficult for Yang Ze.

If life is a practice, then such insensitive, cruel, and bloody cultivation methods may not be able to attain the "Tao".

"It seems that there is still a long way to go in how to obtain items that contain more spiritual energy to help improve the spiritual veins," Yang Ze muttered.

"Now that the water veins have been formed, then next, you should be extremely friendly to the exercises of the water surname, I do remember that there is a set of high-level exercises [Reverse Dragon Attack], this kind of exercises may be useful for you at the moment. The old man of the Yuan Shen floated in front, and one of his hands behind him was raised, and he drew a trick in the void, and put his two fingers together, hitting Yang Ze's forehead.

A sharp and sharp feeling that overwhelmingly tore Yang Ze's divine consciousness and poured directly into his mind, as if facing some kind of extremely strong spiritual coercion, directly suppressing him and shaking his mind. It is also Yang Ze's body cultivation, and his divine sense is also extremely powerful to carry it.

If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that at the moment of this divine consciousness input by the Yuan Shen, he might immediately be beaten stupid and crazy by the sharp tinnitus and the terrifying tearing feeling of turning his head in the sky, and lose his consciousness for the rest of his life.

Yang Ze covered his head and squatted down, tears pouring out, although the sharp "pain" did not directly affect his body, but this terrible feeling that was directly imprinted on his consciousness was purely spiritual, which made him palpitate when he remembered it, which was more terrible than the pain on the **.

"Because you have part of my memory, I can directly inject my perception of this exercise into your divine consciousness!" "Yuan Shen withdrew his finger and smiled, "Of course, everyone's perception of the exercise is different. There is only one door, but there are countless paths to the door, and they are constantly changing from moment to moment. I can't just take you to the door and let you walk straight in. I can only take you to a fork in the road. In the final analysis, the cultivation of this kind of thing comes down to personal comprehension. Even if I tell you every mantra face to face, you won't be able to learn this kind of exercise like I did. I have passed on my insights to you, and it is up to you whether or not you can learn anything from them in the end. It's something that no one can help with. Of course, with your ability to deconstruct the ancient scrolls of the exercises, it is not difficult to comprehend them. ”

"Sun! You input this divine sense, but you can't let me grasp it directly, and you have to feel it yourself to learn to rely on me. Yang Ze's eyes flickered, and he glanced at Yuan Shen.

"In that case, why don't you just instill in me everything you know, so that I can always learn what I am suitable for!" Yang Ze then said extremely greedily.

"Ridiculous," Yuan Shen said lightly, "Your current divine consciousness and spiritual power can only withstand the divine consciousness input of this kind of artistic conception exercise. If it's more complicated and higher, your divine consciousness and spiritual power will be more overwhelming, and I'm afraid you'll become an idiot on the spot. This kind of thing can only be done in moderation according to the ascension of your own divine consciousness and spirit. ”

Yang Ze smacked his tongue. Only then did I know that those private goods of the Yuan Shen really couldn't be given to him at one time, just like facing a treasure house full of mountains, but there was no blessing to suffer for the time being.

Yuan Shen knocked on his head, "Then next, you can experience it." Having said so much, I was tired, and I went to sleep. ”

Two days passed, and Yang Ze sat quietly on a big rock, with a small lake next to it. There is a grill made of stones and rough wood on the ground next to it, and there are dead rabbits, hazel chickens and other mountain flavors on the ground. It was all brought to him by a nearby spirit animal.

When Yang Ze is hungry, he roasts some mountain flavors to eat, and when he is thirsty, he drinks water. From time to time, there were spirit beasts around him, guarding his side, and only when he was hungry did he automatically go to forage for food. It seems that staying by Yang Ze's side can make these vicious spirit beasts feel comfortable and peaceful. Therefore, Yang Ze can often be seen sitting on a stone, pouting his hairy buttocks around and sleeping lazily in a circle, such as the blue bear beast, the big black bear, the moonblade leopard, the tooth pattern tiger and a bunch of spirit beasts.

Yang Ze sat here for two days and two nights, all carefully and repeatedly comprehending the divine consciousness that the Yuan Shen had input into his mind about the [Reverse Dragon Attack] exercise.

At last he opened his eyes suddenly, his body bounced off the ground, and he paused in front of a wood, keeping his body in mid-air.

At that moment, the momentum of the whole person was different. The spirit beasts that were resting around couldn't help but raise their heads and looked at Yang Ze who was in the air in fear.

At that moment, it seemed that behind him, a Tyrannosaurus rex was slowly poking its head out.

Yang Ze stretched his hands into the air and grasped slightly, as if an invisible force in the air was stopping him. Then he clenched his hands suddenly. Two substantial mist-like energy appeared on top of his two fists, forming two giant claws. For a moment, the ground shook where he was. The grass in a radius of five meters lodging in all directions.

Yang Ze landed on one foot at this moment, but the moment he landed, he turned one hundred and eighty degrees, and his fists slashed in front of his chest.

Two dragon claws swung out at the same time, waving their teeth and claws in mid-air, moving forward with a wild roar. But it was like two elegant ribbons, and then the paws were closed in front of a big tree in front of them. The big tree was immediately cut off from it.

But the two intertwined giant claws had no intention of stopping, and they closed in front of them again, and another big tree was shattered. The Giant Claw continued to move forward until it smashed three more trees, and the momentum of its progress faded. Two giant claws dissipated into the void with fangs and claws.

But five big trees have already fallen along the way! Five overbearing energies were fired in a row, if it was not a tree but a person in front of him at the moment, what would the result be? This made Yang Ze wonder if there was anyone who could catch this blow.

This is already the most powerful exercise that Yang Ze can master at present.

But the consumption also made Yang Ze afraid, with the physique cultivated by his spiritual veins, the purer true qi was empty under the blow just now, and even his internal organs were a little injured because of the forced extraction of true qi. Now, even if the spiritual veins are supported to recover quickly, the sea of qi is still empty, and the consumption is huge, which is embarrassing. Sure enough, it is a high-level exercise that is the pinnacle of artistic conception.

"It's only five entanglements, and the end of the way" The voice of the Yuan Shen sounded from the depths of Yang Ze's divine consciousness. There was a lot of dissatisfaction in his words, "Do you know that this set of anti-dragon attack techniques can hit up to thirteen intertwining forces, and each blow has the power of a dragon elephant." If it weren't for the huge consumption, it would be comparable to the Heavenly Xuan Realm exercises. It's also because your spiritual vein body, the base is strong, and you can withstand this kind of consumption, but I didn't expect to only hit five paths. It still takes a lot of practice!"

Yang Ze's body trembled slightly because of the huge consumption, and he was about to cry, "Please don't say it so easily." Five entanglements are already my limit. If I had beaten thirteen in one breath just now, I am afraid that I would have vomited blood and died immediately!"

However, after seeing the power of the reverse dragon attack and even the future potential, Yang Ze now only has confidence in his heart, inexplicably full of confidence.

When the eagle harrier reappeared in this sky, a spirit beast that had stayed on the edge of the hyacinth bush, the white-haired vulture, raised its head gloomily, as if disturbed from resting, and was angry at these lowly birds that dared to appear in the sky on this side of it. is preparing to spread its wings and fly into the sky, revealing its infinite majesty and domineering.

Suddenly, it was blocked by a hand that came out horizontally.

Yang Ze smiled and waved his hand, blocking the wolf vulture that was about to spread its wings. The white-haired vulture glanced at Yang Ze, and then quietly fed on the purple hyacinth.

Yang Ze turned his head to look at the eagle harrier in the distant sky, obviously the other party was above the distant sky, and had already discovered something on his side, and was circling towards him. At that moment, Yang Ze squinted his eyes slightly, "I've been waiting for so many days, and it's finally here, it's really, too slow."

"Hall Master Han, look at the "Eagle Eye" in the southeast direction!" The knights in the jungle grabbed the reins one after another, allowing the beast roar and human voices to converge into a noisy sound, and everyone's spirits were lifted, "I finally found that little thief!"

"This little thief is so cunning, he took us for four or five days, and finally showed his original form!"

"I'll summon all Hawkeyes to lock him down at once, and we'll never let him escape from our hands again this time!"

Han Yan roared, took the lead in spinning the beast, and galloped into the distance. More than a dozen riders around, shouting and cheering, rushed away like a tide.

Not more than half an hour.

This group of riders had already rushed to the location where Hawkeye found Yang Ze.

"Hall Master Han, look, he's there!" One of the riding riders stretched out his finger and pointed to a big tree in the distance.

Yang Ze was sitting leisurely between the branches of the tree. With a blade of grass in his mouth, he basks in the warm sun very leisurely.
