Chapter 82: Riding the Wind
"Defense: I have a strong physique tempered by the "Chaos Alchemy Technique", which is far stronger than the martial arts cultivation of the same realm, even if it is not much worse than those who are one or two small realms higher than me, even if it is enhanced defense."
Hongwu examines himself, starts from himself, and sees what he really needs.
"In terms of attack, I have a close Baji Fist, and a Desperate Flying Knife far away, both of these stunts are very powerful, especially the Desperate Flying Knife, relying on it, I can fight with ordinary ninth-order martial artists, not to mention that I still have an inch of strength to kill, and I don't need to attack."
"Well, that's all that's left for speed." Hong Wu's eyes lit up, "Yes, speed is what I need." ”
With the "Chaos Alchemy Technique" and various martial arts, Hong Wu's defense and attack power can match that of ordinary ninth-order martial artists, but speed is one of his weaknesses.
"Chaos Alchemy" actually has a great improvement in the speed of Hong Wu, and he can almost completely win in the face of martial cultivators of the same realm, but once he faces a martial cultivator who is one or two small realms higher than him, he can't.
After all, speed isn't the most powerful thing about Chaos Alchemy.
And Jiugongbu is just a tossing and turning method, and the increase in speed is not large, therefore, Hongwu's speed is a weakness, and his attack power and defense are asymmetrical, and it is difficult to compare with people who are one or two small realms higher than him.
"I need a secret technique that increases speed."
Hong Wu had already made a decision in his heart, his eyes swept over the dozen or so secret art books, and finally stopped at one of the secret books, "Well, "Wind Walking", okay, it's you!" ”
"Riding the Wind" is a secret technique that can make people's speed skyrocket, once it is cast, it can double the speed, and it can maintain a kind of extreme speed for a certain period of time, just like riding the wind, and it can reach 100 meters away in an instant.
"Well, that's good." Hong Wu picked up the cheats of "Riding the Wind", browsed it, and was very satisfied, the only fly in the ointment was that "Controlling the Wind" was just a secret technique, and it was impossible to last too long, and each time it was cast, it could only last for a few minutes.
Once time has passed, Wind Rider will be inactive, and the caster will become extremely weak, which will last for two days, and then two days before Storm Rider can be cast again.
"It's just a secret technique that stimulates speed, and it's far less powerful than Teacher Fang Yu's secret technique, but the side effects are much smaller." Hong Wu muttered to himself in his heart, holding "Riding the Wind" and refusing to let go.
Generally speaking, the more powerful the arcane technique, the greater the side effects.
Like Fang Yu's "Nine Turns of Qi Pulse Technique" in the ancient city, there are a total of nine turns, Fang Yu only urged to the third turn is enough to greatly increase his strength, and his life has crossed a small realm, which can be matched with Xu Zhengfan at the level of the extreme realm of the martial arts realm, but unfortunately Xu Zhengfan also controls the secret technique, and she is defeated after all.
However, there is no doubt that the power of "Nine Turns of Qi Pulse Technique" is many times stronger than "Wind Control", so its side effects are also extremely large, causing Fang Yu to reduce his life span by ten years, and he can't do anything with others for half a year.
Hong Wu didn't dare to think of the secret technique of "Nine Turns of Qi Pulse Technique", and he was very satisfied if he could learn "Controlling the Wind".
"Selected?" Seeing Hong Wu holding "Riding the Wind" and couldn't put it down, Yang Zong asked with a smile.
"Well, it's chosen." Hong Wu nodded affirmatively, "I'll choose this "Riding the Wind". ”
Yang Zong and Shen Lao glanced at each other and couldn't help but smile.
With their eyes, they naturally know what secret techniques are suitable for Hong Wu, and the reason why they didn't remind them, but let Hong Wu pick them by himself is to see if Hong Wu can face himself, see his weaknesses, and make up for it without hesitation.
Whether a martial cultivator is strong or not depends not on how strong his attacks are, but on whether he is balanced enough.
No matter how strong a person's attack is, but if you can't defend it, you can't say that it is strong, and people only need to attack you once and you will be defeated.
Therefore, real masters will try to balance their attacks and defenses, speed, etc., when these aspects are balanced, then you have fewer weaknesses, no weaknesses, how can others beat you?
"Hongwu, your choice is very correct." Yang Zong looked at Hong Wu with satisfaction, "Remember, don't use the sword to go sideways, blindly pursue a certain aspect of strength, you must strive to achieve balance, and balance can last for a long time." ”
"Most of those who go off the rails are just tricks, and even some of them have gone astray, and they can't be seen in the short term, and after a long time, they will find that they have taken the wrong path."
"Balance can last for a long time, you may not have a deep understanding now, but you will understand it when you cultivate to a certain level." After Yang Zong finished speaking, he pointed to the sofa and said, "You just watch "Riding the Wind" here, and put it back on the round table after you have cultivated." ”
"This is the original, and you can't take it out."
"Well, thank you, Master." Hong Wu nodded, sat down on the sofa, and began to study "Riding the Wind".
The cheats with the breath of the years have a thick and condensed atmosphere in his hand, Hong Wu opened "Riding the Wind", looking at it word by word, immersed in it, unable to extricate himself.
"Condense a 'secret seal' with your own strength, and activate the secret seal when you perform the secret art......"
Hong Wu had never understood what kind of existence the secret art was, it was not a cultivation method, nor was it a martial art, so what was it?
Now, with "Controlling the Wind" in his hand, he carefully studied Hong Wu to understand that the secret art is indeed very special, and it is different from the cultivation method and martial arts, which can be said to be a more mysterious thing, which is amazing.
"It turns out that all the mysteries are in that secret seal." After reading "Riding the Wind" in one go, Hong Wu finally understood that the mystery of the secret art lies in the secret seal, and its special power also relies on the secret seal to play.
A book called "Riding the Wind" is almost 90 percent about how to construct a secret seal.
The Secret Seal is complex and subtle.
On the last page of "Harnessing the Wind" is the pattern of the secret seal, which is a finger-sized imprint outlined by thousands of intricate lines, each arranged in a different way.
"This seal is so complicated." Hong Wu couldn't help but smack his tongue.
The Secret Seal is very complex, and building the Secret Seal is also a complicated and painstaking process, requiring constant trial and error, and may experience many failures before finally building the perfect Secret Seal.
Hong Wu didn't leave Yang Zong's office for a few days, and he had forgotten to sleep and eat.
Yang Zong and Shen Lao did not come, and ordered the guards outside to strictly prohibit anyone from disturbing him at other times, except for regularly delivering food to Hongwu every day.
On the alloy floor, Hong Wu sat cross-legged, with the cheats of "Riding the Wind" in front of him, a layer of cyan stubble had grown on his face, his hair was messy, and he looked very sloppy.
However, his eyes were bright, staring at the secret seal pattern on the secret book, and he whispered, "Come again!" ”
Hong Wu closed his eyes and ran the "Chaos Alchemy Technique", wisps of five elements of Yuan Power converged and turned into a ribbon of multicolored light, and he began to draw a trace from the ribbon of multicolored light, bending and circling this silk thread that exuded a multicolored luster, and arranged it according to the appearance of a secret seal.
A thread of multicolored silk was extracted by him, and he used it as a foundation to start building a secret seal.
A piece of silk thread thinner than a human hair is entangled, tangled, and combined, and gradually forms a pattern, which is exactly the same as the secret seal on "Riding the Wind", but it is not complete and a small part is missing.
"Go on, there's only a small part left."
The secret seal has been built for the most part, and Hongwu has been building the secret seal for the past few days, and he can't remember how many times he has failed.
Now, most of it has finally been completed, and a secret seal has roughly come out, and the rest needs to be supplemented and perfected by him until a complete secret seal is outlined.
"Well, it's 97 percent done, and it's still a little bit close, just a little bit close." Hongwu's eyes were red, his mind was immersed in his body, and he worked hard to control the silk threads to build the secret seal, and he was almost finished.
The beads of sweat slipped from Hongwu's forehead, building a secret seal is a complicated project, very consuming of mind, Hongwu has been trying for several days, his mind is overconsumed, and he is about to collapse.
"Smack!" Hong Wu seemed to hear a soft sound, his face suddenly turned pale, and a silk thread was arranged incorrectly, triggering a chain reaction, and the entire secret seal began to collapse, disintegrate, and finally disappear.
Failed!
"It's still a little bit after all!" Hong Wu's eyes were red, his mind collapsed, and he raised his head to the ground.
The mind was too draining, and he had fallen into a deep sleep.
