Chapter 0173: Breaking into the Third Layer
The so-called death and resurrection does not necessarily mean that you will really fall into the state of death.
The so-called running out of oil and lamps does not necessarily mean that the last trace of soul power will be exhausted.
What is needed is a situation, a kind of stimulation, before the situation completely collapses, to give birth to the ultimate rebound, so that in the process of solving the dilemma, understand the mystery that is impossible to comprehend under normal circumstances, and obtain a great opportunity.
If it really comes to the moment of death, when there is no soul power left, even if the opportunity comes, what capital do you have to seize it?
Xia Qingyang accurately grasped a trace of mystery at such a delicate moment.
It is said to be a chance or a lucky thing, but it is by no means a lucky or gratuitous coincidence.
You must know that the sixteen young people here are all proud sons who have been favored by God, have enviable peerless talents, and are people of great luck.
With their wisdom, at this time, they naturally would not fail to understand that such a long-lasting and somewhat boring battle was by no means as simple as preventing everyone from reaching the third layer of the Divine Tree, and there must be a great chance between life and death.
Therefore, as strong as the Dead Moon, there is obviously a secret method to make the strength explode, and I dare not say that I can hold on until the army of iron wolves passes, but at least it will not last for a shorter time than others, but he has always gritted his teeth and did not use it, he is waiting for the epiphany to come.
Pride is like a shadow, the natal soul is a demon beast, and it is an extremely powerful demon beast, if you release an auxiliary battle, it is a problem whether those iron wolves dare to approach or not, but he didn't use this trick, he is also waiting for the opportunity to come.
The rest of the people naturally have their own hole cards that they haven't used, but they are all gritting their teeth and insisting.
Xia Qingyang was able to take the first step to comprehend that in addition to having the mysterious Taichu Yuan Soul, the epiphany on the gravity ladder also gave him an invisible confidence and encouragement, of course, the experience of playing against the old man in Xuanyi may also have an impact, but these Xia Qingyang can't think of it for the time being.
He only caught a flash of aura for a moment, and then reacted instinctively.
The gravity ladder has improved the physical strength of everyone, which is laying a solid foundation.
So what is the almost never-ending attack of the iron wolf, what is the purpose of the ever-changing attack methods.
The answer is about to come out, and it's honing the way you use your body.
With a strong body, the next step is naturally how to use it reasonably, which is a very simple truth.
But for these people who have practiced martial arts since childhood, even if they have embarked on the path of soul masters later, they have not completely given up refining their bodies, especially the two people who rely on their bodies to eat, the use of martial arts has already reached the point of reaching the peak, where to break through?
This is exactly where Xia Qingyang takes advantage, not to mention that the Xia family is compared with the eight major families, even if it is compared with the Mixed Yuan Sect, it is also an existence that belongs to the bottom of the cultivation world, and how many advanced martial arts can it have?
Xia Qingyang's martial arts and use of the body almost all come from hunting in the deep mountains, and there is no routine or system.
You can say that he has a shallow foundation, but you can also say that he is malleable, so at this critical moment, his response to his heart is the most natural response of the body, the most natural and the most appropriate, and the most effective.
Others are bound by those advanced martial arts, and for a moment they want to ask for this deep-rooted influence and return to the purest use of the body, but it is not so easy to do so.
The human body is the most outstanding work of nature, every muscle, every bone, and even every moment of cell, has its special role, no matter what method people use to cultivate, it is a process of developing their own potential.
All kinds of martial arts are the most direct use of the human body, speed and strength are the foundation, moves and changes are skills, and the more skillful the skill, the more you can give full play to the advantages of speed and strength.
Take the Soul Breaking Knife Method as an example, it is already a clever enough knife technique, but it is still not perfect, for example, the demand for strength is too high, which is a major drawback.
At the moment of epiphany, Xia Qingyang instinctively slashed out a few knives, and he felt extremely relaxed, as if there was a force pulling him in the dark, but the hunting knife was under his control, easy and wishful.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught an iron wolf pounced from the left side, the speed was extremely fast, the angle was tricky, and it was Xia Qingyang's ribs, not high, not low, not easy to defend.
The hunting knife had just cut the neck of an iron wolf in the air, and the remaining momentum was not exhausted, if it was placed in the past, Xia Qingyang would follow the trajectory of the Soul Breaking Knife Method, take advantage of the trend, draw a perfect arc, and split the lower left.
However, Xia Qingyang did not do this, a muscle on his back suddenly contracted, causing the muscles of his shoulders and arms to contract together, and at the same time, his elbow bent sharply, his wrist shook, and the hunting knife broke the sleek trajectory and completed an almost right-angle turn.
At the same time, several muscles in Xia Qingyang's waist and abdomen exerted force at the same time, his crotch turned slightly, the soles of his feet were lightly pinched on the ground, his knees were also slightly deflected, and the hunting knife slashed straight down in a straight line, fast and crisp.
The Clerowolf let out a low whimper and stuck in his throat, and his head was split in half.
A smile appeared on the corner of Xia Qingyang's mouth, he was very satisfied with Fang Cai's knife, the knife technique was still the Soul Breaking Knife Method, but only that knife was concerned, it had completely departed from the change of the Soul Breaking Knife Technique, to be precise, it had changed its own transportation method.
The soul master's powerful Yuan Soul can make it easier for them to control their muscles and even bones, and make many actions that ordinary people can't do.
Just now, Xia Qingyang used the coordinated operation of muscles and bones to change the most common trick changes.
Almost all martial arts, the most afraid is to use the old tricks, hastily change the moves, so it is very taboo to go straight, usually in arcs, not only can borrow strength, but also convenient to change moves at any time, but in this way it will increase time and waste physical strength.
Xia Qingyang's response just now used the most time-saving and labor-saving way to complete the same blow, and the lethality was even greater.
In addition, because of the precise control of muscles, the consumption is also minimized, and the physical strength and soul power are saved to the greatest extent.
Of course, Xia Qingyang's epiphany and initial application are still at an extremely shallow level, and if he can reach the ultimate realm, it is far from being as simple as saving a little physical strength.
When your realm is high enough, you can control every bone and muscle in the body with great precision, and even every cell, then the use of the body will also reach the extreme, and every action will perfectly fit the nature of the body, and achieve the purpose perfectly with the least consumption.
Today's Xia Qingyang can't do this step, but it's already a bit interesting, only a small amount of soul power is needed to replenish it, and he can maintain a fierce fight, and his body, which was about to be unable to support it, has become energetic again.
Suna is the second person in the field to realize this, in addition to the talent of the half-open soul, it is also related to the fact that he has been in the sect for a short time, and his learning is relatively simple, and he is less affected.
Other than that, no one has been able to comprehend this, and even though some people have realized the skin, they have never been able to find the right way to penetrate into it, and they are unable to express what they want through their bodies.
Among them, there is the strongest martial arts of the Dead Moon, he has been exposed to too many advanced martial arts since he was a child, and after coming into contact with soul skills, the influence has become more and more deep-rooted, even if he is the first of these people to realize that this level is a level to hone the use of the body, but he can never completely rule out the interference of inherent martial arts.
In this way, as time goes by, the performance of the young people begins to diverge, Xia Qingyang and Suna are still vigorous, and even show signs of becoming more and more relaxed, and others have obviously shown fatigue, and they are very close to the real oil exhaustion.
Of course, except for Yaxuan, her performance is almost the same as at the beginning, and it is not easy to say that she is relaxed, but she can't support it, but she can't see any signs at all.
After persisting for ten hours, there was finally the first person who couldn't support it, and he was Pei Jianyu of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
At the beginning of the battle, this was a young man who could be comparable to any genius, a long sword sometimes sprinkled like a drizzle, sometimes like a heavy rain, the sword flowers were dotted, and all the iron-lined wolves that pounced were killed, extremely chic.
However, his swordsmanship needs to be matched with his body technique, which is very physically exhausting, and it is not easy to survive ten hours.
The sword spread out like ripples around Pei Jianyu's body, strangling all the iron-line wolves within a few zhang of his body, and he himself dodged and jumped near the old man in Xuanyi, which was the only area nearby where there were no iron-line wolves.
The embarrassed look on Pei Jianyu's face didn't last long, and the people of the Divine Hidden Sect, the Blood Killing Alliance, and the Shadow Society also retreated one after another.
An hour later, the people of the eight major families also began to withdraw one after another.
When the battle reached the twelfth hour, there were only four people left in the field, Xia Qingyang, Suna, Yaxuan and Lan Luoying.
After exhausting the last trace of soul power, the Mighty Moon withdrew with the help of the power of the Horcrux.
Just when everyone was speculating about who would be the next to withdraw, the army of iron wolves suddenly retreated like a tide, retreating cleanly, and there was no one left.
The circular area where Xia Qingyang and the other four people were standing suddenly rose slowly, and finally merged into an area in mid-air, forming a high platform that rose from the ground.
The next moment, the old man in Xuanyi also appeared on the high platform, shook his hand and punched out four vials, and said, "This is the Soul Gathering Fruit, and it is your reward for ascending to the third layer of the Divine Tree." ”
If you let everyone guess who can stay until the end at the beginning, I'm afraid that these four people are not the first choice, so when this scene appeared, there was still a lot of waves outside Shenmu.
The person who failed to break through was sent out of the Divine Tree by the old man in Xuanyi, and then turned to the four people on the stage: "Then do you want to continue to break through the fourth layer?"
"Of course you have to break through!" Lan Luoying said without thinking.
Although the other three did not speak, the meaning was obvious, and they had all reached this point, so there was no reason to retreat.
The old man in Xuanyi suddenly became verbose for some reason, and said, "Since the appearance of Shenmu, a total of one hundred and twenty people have gone through this third level, and only five have succeeded. ”
Everyone heard that there was no different color, and the success rate was a little low, but it was not too perverted.
At this time, the old man in Xuanyi said again: "The rest of the people died on the way to break through. ”
