Chapter 9: Condensation Cyclones

In the forest at the foot of Tianji Peak.

In the early morning, when everything was silent, the eastern horizon shone with a glimmer of light, carefully infiltrating the light blue sky, and a new day gradually moved from afar.

In the forest sea under the light blue sky, a person and a fox, this blue-white shadow shuttles between the forest and the sea.

By the time the two of them stopped to rest, the sun had risen completely, but the entire forest was still dark under the thick foliage, and only a small light could shine through the heavy leaves to the ground.

Looking up at the sky in the dense forest, the sky was cut into locks of blue satin by the branches of tall trees, and the dappled points of light scattered down, blinking mysteriously as the leaves moved. The trees were silent, and stood like philosophers, and from time to time they could be found that the branches of the great trees were cracked with black skin, and covered with tess. The heavy rain of the day before yesterday did not bring sorrow, but seemed to bring only a temporary haze, and now the dark clouds have long since faded, leaving only slightly humid air.

In the distance, an unknown bird began to flutter its wings, as if pouring out the joy of the bath. Nearby, the dew that had gathered on the leaves of the trees was still dripping down into the small puddles on the side of the road, making an unusually crisp sound.

Chirping!

A birdsong woke up the entire mountain forest, and suddenly all the birds flew up, looking at the birds flying around and above the head from time to time, many birds gathered in the air, forming a tornado, standing directly below the tornado, Fang Yu felt as if he was in a free ocean, letting the whirlwind blow through his body, he felt that he had become lighter.

Whew!

The white fox beside Fang Yu screamed happily, and patted Fang Yu by the way, he knew that the white fox was used to seeing such a scene, and was urging him to follow it to that place, and for there was something he had to pick up, he didn't bother to jump on the white fox's back.

One fox supported one person, ran again, and when he stopped again, it was already in the forest where Fang Yu fought the Red Tiger the day before yesterday.

"Is this it? Thank you. ”

When Fang Yu saw the familiar woods, he rummaged around, and thanked him while looking for it.

Surrounded by various remnants of his battle with the Red Tiger, Fang Yu stroked a scratch on the trunk of the tree.

Just keep groping, keep searching.

In the end, he found what Fang Yu was looking for on the trunk of the tree not far from the fight between him and the Red Tiger.

There was a horizontal knife diagonally stuck in the trunk of the tree, which was the same knife that Fang Yu had left behind when he fought with the Red Tiger, and the knife that the White Fox hadn't taken away when he rescued Fang Yu.

Stunned! Brush!

Fang Yu pulled it up, and when he took the time to shake it, all the water droplets on the knife body were thrown away. Fang Yu picked up the scabbard that had also been thrown off, but unfortunately, the scabbard was only made of ordinary wood after all, and now it was shattered. Fang Yu slowly put away the knife, this thing was a treasure, he didn't want to lose this good weapon.

Looking at the carcass of the red tiger not far away, after two days of cleaning up the scavengers and carnivores, there are still a lot of flesh and bones left, and there are birds and beasts touching and biting them from time to time.

When he came here before, seeing some people's footprints, Fang Yu was still secretly nervous, thinking that most of them had directly chosen to take a detour when they saw this situation, otherwise this knife might not be able to stay here all the time waiting for him to pick it up.

"Damn, I lost a big piece of meat here, this unlucky tiger, he will take a piece of my skin when he dies."

Fang Yu's upper body was exposed, after a few days of recuperation, there was no more body fluid oozing out of the injured area, and a large brown scar hung on his chest, Fang Yu did not choose to completely wrap it up.

"Wounded, bleeding, rather than wrapping it up, thinking that it will rot and pus, and fester, it is better to be exposed. It's like carving a pattern into me, making it bloom. Whether it is an injury or a flower, it will not hurt in vain. ”

The white fox walked up and licked Fang Yu's hand, Fang Yu smiled, he knew that the white fox was comforting himself. After two days of contact, he found that this white fox seemed to be very psychic, and his words and emotions could be read. In fact, Fang Yu also had a lot of doubts in his heart, although he had heard that the fox was psychic, but would this white fox be too psychic, and this white fox was actually a hazy feeling in front of his soul perception power, and in the end he blamed all the reasons for his own weakness, so it seemed that everything was explained.

"Don't worry, as time passes, no matter how deep the wound is, it will form a blurred scab, and when it grows with flesh, this wounded place will become harder."

Fang Yu withdrew his hand and said with a smile.

"Since becoming an adventurer, I have become fond of uncovering the scar myself, watching it bleed, and then it scarred again, and I removed it again, but there was less and less blood there, and it didn't bleed until the end, although it hurt, but I also felt lighter than a sword and a claw stuck in my body."

The white fox seemed to understand, nodded, and saw that Fang Yu wanted to laugh again, he wanted to reach out and rub the white fox's little head, as soon as he raised his hand, the intention was clearly seen by the white fox, and the white fox tilted his head in disgust.

Syllable!

"Huh? You just showed a very disgusted expression. ”

Fang Yu was surprised that the white fox would actually open his hand, which he didn't expect.

On the contrary, it was the white fox, after patting Fang Yu's hand away, he approached Fang Yu and stretched out his paws and patted Fang Yu's head.

"Haha, hahaha."

Fang Yu laughed when he saw this, he really didn't expect the white fox to take the initiative to touch his head.

"Don't comfort me, since I became an adventurer, when I tore my wounds open in broad daylight, and my flesh was blurred to everyone, all I got was a kind of pity and sympathy, and a small pitiful ......"

Speaking of this, Fang Yu paused, and a trace of pain seemed to flash in his eyes, although it was only for a moment, it also surprised the white fox. Just now, the pupils of Fang Yuti's widened eyes had become very huge, and they had a pale blue color, which was very different from his usual dark blue eyes.

“…… There is a world of difference between swallowing the blood mixed with the teeth and swallowing it in the stomach alone, suffocating in the stomach, and then rotting. The first is a little naïve, but the second is really resilient, tenacious and mature."

Fang Yu patted his pants and stood up, his eyes were firm, his gaze was resolute, and he said softly in his mouth.

"I've grown up and won't be cowardly anymore."

Fang Yu scratched his head, grinning a little shyly, what he said just now was a little arrogant.

Then Fang Yu looked at the corpse of the Red Tiger again, thinking that this Red Tiger was only close to but had not yet reached the level of the first order, he turned it over again, and when he saw that there was no source core, he left.

"Next, go get my backpack, and then it's time to go back."

Saying that, Fang Yu jumped and rode on the white fox, and the figures of one person and one fox gradually disappeared into the woods.

At this time, in another forest sea separated by only one forest from the cave where the white fox and the little fox lived, a figure was stumbling forward.

"Phew, phew, where is this?"

The man was covered in mud, and in some places the mud had dried out, and it hung his body, and he wiped his face with his sleeve, and gasped for air in his mouth.

"Huhu, isn't there a place around here where to hide?"

Riding the white fox, Fang Yu's whole person was empty.

Thinking back to the night I was rescued.

When cultivating as usual, Fang Yu clearly felt that barrier, just like a membrane, but the toughness of this membrane was far beyond his imagination. Now he was one step away from the condensing mirror, but he also knew that it was this step that stopped many people.

Fang Yu just took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the eagerness that was tumbling in his heart, forcing himself to continue his ordinary cultivation, but as the cultivation brought more source power into his body, he could feel that barrier more clearly.

This felt like Fang Yu's whole person was pressed against a piece of glass, and as his cultivation progressed, this sense of oppression gradually deepened.

Fang Yu knew very well in his heart that with his current state, if he attacked the Condensing Mirror, the chance of failure would probably be more than seventy percent. Although for the Source Master, a little trauma would not affect his cultivation too much, but Fang Yu's injury was really too serious, and this injury caused him to lose some of his meridians, and he didn't want to take such a needless risk.

Fang Yu knew very well that in the process of cyclone condensation, the source power invested would be cut off from the body under the powerful vortex force, so once the condensation failed, then the source power invested could not be recovered at all, and would directly diffuse into the surrounding air.

Once this kind of adventure fails, it is like rebuilding the work, the risk is too great, he must live tenaciously and become strong in order to find his mother, so he must be cautious, he must make a plan, and hit the condensation mirror in the best state.

Since the third day when Fang Yu woke up from a serious injury, his cultivation began to be unhurried and impatient, practicing on time for an hour every day to get through the blockage of the meridians caused by the previous injury, and then he went to do endurance exercises, the muscles and skin had just healed, he needed to adapt well for a while, and occasionally had free time, he was to accompany a few little white foxes to tease haha, a leisurely life, and a very comfortable life.

And after five days of such an easy time, Fang Yu finally adjusted his body state to the peak, and this was the best moment for him to impact the condensing mirror.

At the intersection of the periphery of Tianji Peak and Tianxuan Peak in the Beidou Forest, under a hidden cliff.

Fang Yu sat cross-legged in this cave that was only more than a meter wide, this cliff was the place he had carefully selected to cultivate, on the opposite side of the cliff, the clouds and mist were shrouded, and under the clouds was a deep pool, and the only path that could enter here was a path that winded down from the top of the cliff.

This path has been covered by branches and gravel in advance, and usually it looks like a cliff, but as for the path, unless the gravel on the side of the cliff is broken, I am afraid that I will not be able to find where the path is, so no one will come here.

Fang Yu had absolute certainty in his heart about today's cyclone condensation, and this breakthrough would never be interfered with by someone halfway, so he must succeed this time.

I took a slow breath and exhaled all this breath to calm the fluctuations in my heart now. Fang Yu smiled slightly, thinking of the next action, he licked his lips, feeling a little dry in his throat, but he didn't hesitate at all, and let out a threat.

"Condensation!"

Fang Yu's face was calm, his hands quickly sealed, he entered the cultivation state, his breathing gradually became stable, and the faint source power in his body gradually worked in Fang Yu's veins.

"In the cave, the smell of the earth, outside the cave, the smell of water, I can smell it, I can feel everything in the cave without using my eyes, Mom, bless me!"

Fang Yu felt the situation in his body and surroundings, secretly cheered up, and shouted.

"Come, receive!"

In only half an hour, in the small cave, the calm air suddenly fluctuated violently, and the originally invisible source power turned into a trace of visible pale white, which continued to seep out of the air, and then continuously drilled into Fang Yu's abdomen.

Fang Yu didn't rush to start condensing the cyclone, but desperately refining the source power in the air. Fang Yu's teeth clenched his lips, feeling the collision of the two energies in his body. This made Fang Yu's meridians constantly feel throbbing, but fortunately, his years of adventurous training had made his physical fitness extremely high, and the corresponding veins were also more tenacious than ordinary qi practitioners, so although it felt a little painful, it hadn't caused much damage for the time being.

"Not enough, not enough at all, these are not enough to support me to condense the cyclone, to persevere."

Fang Yu cheered himself up in his heart.

When Fang Yu insisted for another quarter of an hour, his entire abdomen actually swelled a little, and a trace of fear rose in his heart, and he secretly said in his heart, "It's not good, I've absorbed too much, I can't hold on anymore!" ”

The scale of Fang Yu's internal source power was constantly expanding at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, and at the same time, his abdomen was gradually expanding at a speed that was already visible.

The source power of refining in the body and the power of the source outside the body were constantly injected, and the source power in Fang Yu's body had gradually filled most of the veins.

The refining was still continuing, but Fang Yu's refining speed was weakening in stages, just like a thirsty person, who still kept pouring water after he was full, and eventually he would be poisoned by water, after the last force rushed into Fang Yu's body from the air, Fang Yu's body trembled violently, and he muttered in his mouth.

"The source power in my body has swelled to a critical point where it can't be increased anymore."

The extreme compression of the source power caused its recoil expansion, directly causing Fang Yu's meridians, which were already like filled balloons, to burst even more, and a sharp pain came from all over his body, making Fang Yu's brows tighten.

"It's not good, let the source power in the body work, and condense the source cyclone! My meridians won't last long, or they're going to burst!"

Fang Yu was glad that the source power in his body should be enough to condense the cyclone, but the situation transmitted back from the meridians in his body suddenly exploded an idea, making him give up the idea of taking a break now.

Taking a deep breath of cool air, Fang Yu's handprint quickly transformed, his index thumb butted, the rest of his fingers crossed and interlocked, and his ten fingers formed a ring-shaped handprint.

With the change of Fang Yu's handprint, the surging source power in his body was like receiving a violent suction, slowly moving in Fang Yu's meridians, and a thought rose in his heart, "Well, the source power is saturated, and it is really difficult to drive it like before." ”

Under Fang Yu's pull, the source power in the meridians began to resist, constantly churning violently.

"Damn, why is this so difficult?"

But in the end, the power of resistance was no match for Fang Yu, and under Fang Yu's soul power, after a slight stalemate for a while, it was

Began to run helplessly.

Gradually spiraling in the abdomen, the process can be said to be quite unsmooth, because it is completely a small horse-drawn cart, although Fang Yu's soul power is much stronger than others, but after all, it has not grown up, and it is very difficult to control, but fortunately, this process has no variables.

"When the power of the source contracts and rotates to a certain extent, the focus of the cyclone is to rotate, not just compress, but to drive the power of the source to rotate. But until then, it's going to be pressed again!"

Gritting his teeth, just at the moment when he was about to forcibly compress the power of the source, Fang Yu's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened suddenly, and the variables still happened, just at this critical juncture.

The soul power that surrounded the milky white spiral-like source power was suddenly stretched out, just before Fang Yu was about to squeeze the cyclone again.

Boom!

A gentle muffled sound quietly sounded in his body, and then formed an energy match in Fang Yu's lower plate, sweeping everything around him a few feet.

The Power of the Source is starting to fight back!

"If you control it, you can advance the condensation mirror, and if it fails, there will be nothing, uh-uh, ah! Yes! Yes! ”

Fang Yu roared like a blood demon bloodthirsty.

Fang Yu's eyeballs were gradually congested, his breathing was gradually shortened, and Fang Yu and Yuan Zhili were making a final game. Because Fang Yu leaked a little source power before, the source power around him and the original power in his body formed a traction, Fang Yu's source power is a fire attribute, which itself is a superior attribute with both destruction and power, but at this time, it is like a drag oil bottle, the traction of the source power burst into flames around Fang Yu, and the entire cave emitted a bright red dazzling light, and the energy contained in it was so great that even the white fox on the cliff was shocked.

In the midst of this crazy game, only one side can win, and he endures the pain.

It was a tough battle, and neither side would give up a single step, and both sides squeezed their own possibilities as much as possible, pondering each other endlessly.

This is a level that every source master who wants to condense a cyclone must go through.

A moment!

Fang Yu saw it—a pitch-black iron ring that suddenly appeared, and several steel chains curled around his body.

Whether Fang Yu opened his eyes or not, it was pitch black in front of him, only some light walked in front of him, he couldn't turn his head, but he could see that one end of these chains was connected to his body, and the other end extended behind him, he felt that he had become very sluggish, and the chains made him unable to move.

Brush!

The sword whistled in front of him, and it was close in the blink of an eye.

The chains that spread throughout his body tightly bound him, as if the other side was connected to a force that could not be moved, and he couldn't reach out to block it, and a sword went straight into his heart.

"Ah——!h

Inside the cave, Fang Yu yelled in pain, but it was not the same as what he saw, he was still sitting in a state of sitting and sealing, the energy around him had eased, the flames had been extinguished, and there was an obvious energy vortex in front of him.

When Fang Yu recovered from the pain in his heart, he was still in the dark. He seemed to be lying on a rocky ground as cold as a stalactite cave. Black chains still bound his limbs and extended into the gloom behind him.

"Failed, is this fate?."

The chains behind him began to slowly pull Fang Yu back, he knew very well that it was the end of his own, and this body had no right to move on.

The chains of fate were pulling him into the dark depths with an irresistible force, of course, but even without these chains, his body would have long since lost any strength, and he couldn't even take a step.

He really ran out of everything, everything he had, he threw all the chips in his hand and gambled on this moment.

So he was empty, he had nothing, he couldn't get his mother back.

Click!

In the darkness, the chains rubbed against each other.

Fang Yu lay on his stomach on the ground, his strength was completely lost, and he couldn't move a single step, but he still stretched out his right hand, and then struggled to grasp the ground that felt wet. He gripped the floor so hard that his fingertips were almost bruised, as if crawling trying to move forward.

But, of course, he couldn't move forward, the chains called "Fate" behind him firmly restricted every inch of his body, the chains were tightly interlocked, and the weight was abnormal, and he felt the pain of his fingertips sting even more in the dark, because the pain of his nails falling off was inevitable, but he didn't care about it, and still used his lost hand to pick at the ground.

Gradually, the chains were tightened, and his strength grew stronger each time, and he dragged his exhausted body against the chains called "Fate".

Fang Yu was unwilling to obey the chains of "fate", the old grandmother on the side of the road once said that it is impossible to move forward without will, and it is precisely because people have such a will that they can keep moving forward.

This will makes him stronger than he was a minute ago, so that he can resist the traction of the abyss, then this intention will definitely be enough to open up the power of fate.

Hold this inexhaustible will in your chest. Even if this is the abyss, tear off the chains and move forward.

The pain, grievances, helplessness, and persistence he suffered over the years in order to recover his mother all turned into a will that made him crazy again, making him desperate to move forward.

"Yikes! Ah——!h Come on! ”

The force of resistance almost tore his body apart, and he no longer knew what force was driving his empty shell, only that his consciousness was gradually blurred.

In the cave, Fang Yu's breath had gradually calmed down, and the energy vortex had disappeared, and Fang Yu's breath suddenly rose in the next few breaths.

Click! Click! Click!

Gradually, the power of resistance became weaker and weaker, and with the last muffled sound, Fang Yu's body made a clicking sound, and the resistance that made Fang Yu anxious dissipated out of thin air.

"Whew!"

With a heavy sigh of relief, Fang Yu's whole body fell down, and the whole person lay flat in the cave, his chest rising and falling violently.

Lying in the cold cave, Fang Yu was not idle, but sensed the abundant energy in his body, thinking back to the thrill just now, he could sense that there was a flame-red vortex in his abdomen, which was slowly rotating.

A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Fang Yu's mouth, and after a moment, the smile gradually expanded, and finally laughed wildly.

"Hahahaha, I made it! Mom, I made it! ”

Fang Yu, who was in excitement, didn't notice at all that the milky white object in his hand that looked like a ring seemed to move as if it were alive when he successfully condensed the cyclone.

"Hey."

Lying on the cold stone ground for a long time, Fang Yu slowly calmed down, the joy on his face could not be concealed, he rubbed his painful abdomen that had swelled just now, crossed his legs again, made a handprint, and made a cultivation posture.

Exhaling lightly, Fang Yu closed his eyes, his mind gradually sank into his body, and he used his inner vision to observe his cyclone.

Inner vision, a skill that can only be mastered at the level of condensation mirror, the main ability is to explore the body, which can help the source master quickly find out the situation in the body, and it is more thorough than observing nature.

"Gather the source realm, draw qi into the body, temper the body, fade away from the mortal womb, and accumulate the power of the source in all parts of the meridians to form a sea of qi. Condensing the realm, condensing the cyclone, turning the sea of static qi into a sea of dynamic qi, the meridians are transformed, the eight veins can be found, and the auxiliary skill of internal vision can be obtained, which can explore the situation in the body, and then use internal vision to find the meridians needed to practice the exercises, and then you can practice the exercises. ”

Fang Yu whispered, these were exactly what he had learned, and they were also the iron-like laws of this continent, and now he had successfully taken that step.

While delighted, Fang Yu sank his mind into his lower abdomen, and a palm-sized flame-red cyclone was slowly rotating, wrapping a layer of nebula-like white transparent energy around the periphery of the cyclone.

"There is no discrepancy with what I have learned."

Fang Yu was overjoyed, licked his lips, and shouted.

"Looks like I'm really advanced to the Gaze Mirror, yes——!"

Suddenly, Fang Yu felt his skin darken, he suspected that he was dazzled, and the subsequent scene stunned him even more, seeing dots like stars on his body and arms connected by lines.

"Huh?"

Fang Yu only felt that the star in his right palm was exceptionally bright, and he tried to use the power of the source to move to his right arm, but this vision only existed for a moment before disappearing, all of this came too fast, making Fang Yu nowhere to be found.

Fang Yu sank down again, staring at this still immature energy vortex with his soul power, after observing for a while, he nodded with satisfaction, adjusted his breath and carried this nascent source power to run in his body for a week, the hand of the seal was lightly covered on his knees, although the current source power cyclone was still very small, but the energy contained in it was definitely many times more than the source power in his body when he was ten stages of source power before, and the power was more than ten times stronger!

The energy stored in the body of the condensing mirror is fundamentally different from that of the concentrating mirror. Before condensing the cyclone, the energy absorbed can only be called the source power, and the energy absorbed by the person who really steps on the condensing mirror is the real source qi of heaven and earth. Although there is only one word difference between the two, the qualitative difference between them is like a world of difference, and there is no comparison at all.

Slowly withdrawing from his body, Fang Yu's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and the flame-red flames stayed in his dark blue pupils for a long time before they gradually dissipated. Fang Yu's mouth opened slightly, and a mouthful of somewhat drowsy turbid gas was spewed out, and after exhaling this turbid breath, his complexion became significantly lighter. Fang Yu moved his limbs and torso again, there was a clicking sound between the bones, and all the bones in his body returned to their places, the sourness of this process made Fang Yu grit his teeth.

Click——!

After the clicking sound subsided, Fang Yu felt that his body was lighter than before, and he couldn't help but purse his lips and laugh. Then he remembered his own cyclone, which he had just had, and his intense curiosity prompted him to calm down and feel the cyclone with his heart.

The mind controlled the cyclone, Fang Yu's heart moved slightly, and a wisp of fiery red source qi quickly separated from the cyclone, and then rushed away along the direction of the mind, and after a long circle around the cyclone, it melted into the cyclone again.

Fang Yu recalled that it was rumored that a strong person with a cyclone would take the initiative to increase the rotation speed of the cyclone and increase the speed of the movement of the source qi throughout his body during a battle, so as to quickly provide the source qi for the martial arts he released.

Such a new thing, he wanted to try, so Fang Yu tried to let his mind constantly control the speed of the cyclone, and when the speed became faster and faster, Fang Yu suddenly found that something was wrong, the fast-spinning cyclone was not controlled at all, and from time to time it released a strong energy to practice, only in an instant, it rushed into all parts of his meridians, making him suddenly feel a tingling sensation coming out of the meridians, and it became difficult to breathe, and flames erupted from his nose between exhales and breaths, and a series of reactions in his body, he realized that he had played big.

Fang Yu opened his mouth and screamed in pain, and his mouth was also full of red flames.

"It's a big game now, this is the rumored effect, this is clearly going to blow itself up......"
