Chapter 102: A not-so-wonderful breakthrough
It may be that Lu Xiao'an's talent in cultivating martial arts is not bad, he cultivated Dragon Battle Yuye and was not injured, and within three days, the power of this sword has already been reflected.
In the past three days, Lu Xiaoan has been swinging his knife day and night, and each knife has used his best strength, Xiao Ai helped him calculate, he has swung a total of 37,817 knives.
Panting, Lu Xiaoan reached his limit again and had to lie on the ground to rest.
"It's still not fast enough!"
Lu Xiaoan is not too satisfied with the power of Long Zhan Yuye, his current sword storage time of one sword to break his soul is less than six breaths, and the power of Long Zhan Yuye is now almost equivalent to three breaths, although it is already very strong, but Lu Xiaoan is not satisfied, he obviously feels that it can be stronger.
In fact, the three grades of the ground level cannot limit the power of "Dragon Slash Seven Swords", how strong this sword technique is, it all depends on how strong the body of the person who uses it is. Lu Xiaoan felt that the reason why this sword technique was set as a third-grade grade was probably because the physical body of the person who created it could only reach this limit.
If the person who created this sword technique also cultivated the Heavenly Demon Forging Body, then this sword technique would probably be able to reach the height of the ninth rank of the earth level.
This is not Lu Xiaoan's own speculation, but also Xiaoai's analysis.
Lying on the ground, Lu Xiaoan said to Xiao Ai: "Then the Heavenly Demon Forging Body I cultivated surpassed the original Heavenly Demon Forging Body, wouldn't it be that this Dragon Slash Seven Swords can also break through to become a Heavenly Rank Martial Skill in my hands?"
Xiao Ai: "I don't have the data of the Heavenly Rank, so I can't answer your question." β
Lu Xiaoan still thinks about it beautifully, and sometimes it is good to think about beauty, that is, it can provide Lu Xiaoan with infinite motivation. So, without resting for a while, Lu Xiaoan jumped up again and began to cultivate the Heavenly Rank Sword Technique in his heart.
The more you go to the back, the more difficult it becomes, which is why there is a limit. It took another seven days for Lu Xiaoan to increase the power of Long Zhan Yuye to the level of four breaths, but in the next month, he only increased his power to four and a half breaths, and it became more and more difficult to improve.
Lu Xiaoan knew that this was not the limit of the dragon fighting in the wild, but the further he went, the more difficult it would be to cultivate, and he had to prepare to go to the appointment.
To go to Yue'an City, you don't have to go back, it is closer to go directly through this grassland. Of course, the cautious Lu Xiaoan would not cross this dangerous forbidden place, he planned to pass through the edge, so that he could walk a lot less, otherwise he would have to climb over a big mountain or go around for several more days.
Lu Xiaoan waved his knife to open the way for himself as he walked, and at the same time silently calculated how much stronger he was. The power of the killing knife he used before was only one and a half breaths and one sword to break the soul, but the killing knife can explode for a long time, and although Long Zhan Yuye does not need to store a knife, he always has to rest for a breath after a knife to cut the second knife, otherwise the spiritual power will not work at all.
"So it seems that my strength has increased by about two and a half times! The Heavenly Rank Sword Technique is really powerful, and this improvement is equivalent to breaking through to the Tongmai Realm. β
Lu Xiaoan had already tacitly accepted that the Dragon Slash Seven Swords he cultivated were heaven-level sword techniques.
Xiao Ai said: "There is no 2.5 times, only about 2.13 times." β
Xiao Ai's calculations are much more accurate, but Lu Xiaoan was a little unconvinced and asked, "Why?"
Xiao Ai: "You didn't consider the ability to sustain combat, this is also a very important strength indicator, the dragon slash seven swords belong to the limit explosion, and your power will drop after you cut up to eleven swords." β
"Yes, but why eleven knives?"
Lu Xiaoan really didn't think about this.
Xiao Ai: "When you were cultivating, I had been collecting data, and the data showed that the power began to decline at the twelfth sword, and there was no reason. β
Lu Xiaoan asked, "How much has it dropped?"
Xiao Ai: "It's not much, according to the data, your knife skills are considered killer within twenty knives, but the twenty-first knife is a cliff-like decline, and the power is less than two breaths and one knife to break the soul, that is to say, you can only use twenty knives to fight with people, and after twenty knives, it is better to use a killing knife." β
Lu Xiaoan said: "I'm not that stupid, the opponent who can't kill it with three knives will definitely have to find a way to break his soul with one knife." β
Xiao Ai: "That's because you didn't take into account the situation of facing multiple opponents at the same time, and it is also very important to allocate physical strength reasonably in battle, which is an experience summed up from sports competition." β
Lu Xiaoan asked: "What is sports competition?"
Xiao Ai: "It's a competition, a kind of spiritual need, and Huai'an City's use of demon beasts to fight is of the same nature." β
Just when Lu Xiaoan and Xiao Ai were chatting, a roar startled Lu Xiaoan. It turned out that the knife he used to open the way slashed a sleeping demon beast, although this knife could not hurt the demon beast, but it disturbed people's dreams.
Seeing this demon beast standing up, Lu Xiaoan was shocked. Good fellow! The dagger-toothed wolf's head is about to pop out of the grass.
"Run!"
Xiao Ai reminded, because this dagger wind wolf had a cultivation above the middle stage of the Enlightenment Realm, and Lu Xiaoan was by no means an opponent.
Lu Xiaoan didn't hesitate, just ran away. And the dagger-toothed wind wolf may have just woken up, and he was still a little confused, and he was stunned for a moment before starting to chase.
Since he is called the wind wolf, the speed must be as fast as the wind, but Lu Xiaoan has an innate advantage, that is, he is short! Turning left and right in the tall grass, the dagger wind wolf will not know where he ran after a while.
But it was still too naΓ―ve to want to get rid of a dagger wind wolf in this way, only to see the wind wolf sniff in the air with his head raised, and then chased in the direction of Lu Xiaoan.
At the beginning of the escape, Lu Xiaoan was accumulating a knife, and at this time, when he saw the dagger-toothed wind wolf catching up, he returned with a knife.
"Whew......"
This knife still hurt the dagger-toothed wind wolf, and I saw that its gray chest fur was instantly stained red with blood. But in this way, Lu Xiaoan also completely angered this dagger-toothed wind wolf.
However, what can be done without provoking it? Isn't it impossible not to eat Lu Xiao'an if it doesn't provoke it? Obviously, it can't be.
Soon, the dagger-toothed wind wolf caught up again, and Lu Xiaoan had no other way but to stop instantly, turned around and jumped up, and slashed at the dagger-toothed wind wolf's head with a sword dragon battle in the wild. It may have been that he had learned Lu Xiao'an's power, but the dagger-toothed wind wolf didn't dare to block it with his head, so he shook his head and collided with Lu Xiaoan's magic knife with his dagger-like fangs.
With a "bang", the fangs of the dagger wind wolf were comparable to a third-order magic knife, and Lu Xiaoan was slammed out by this flick of the head. Of course, the dagger-toothed wind wolf also staggered a step, and then shook his head, as if he was also a little dazed by Lu Xiaoan's knife.
Ignoring the suffocation in his chest, Lu Xiaoan rolled on the ground and began to flee again, but after not escaping for a while, the dagger wind wolf chased after him again.
Lu Xiaoan stored the knife again, but this time the sword that broke the soul was dodged by the dagger wind wolf. Lu Xiaoan was shocked, and there was no other way but to slash it with a dragon battle again.
However, the dagger-toothed wind wolf no longer fought hard with Lu Xiaoan, only to see that it really floated to the side like the wind, and then bit Lu Xiaoan's head with a flick of its head.
The head of the dagger wind wolf is several times larger than Lu Xiaoan's head, and this bite can definitely bite Lu Xiaoan's head like a walnut. Lu Xiao'an was so frightened that his hairs stood on end, and he squatted busily, and he could dodge it, but the sound of his teeth closing still made him a little afraid.
didn't bite a bite, and the dagger wind wolf stepped on Lu Xiaoan with his foot. Although its claws were not as sharp as those of the snow deer, Lu Xiaoan still didn't dare to be stepped on by it, because once he stepped on it, he could tear Lu Xiaoan apart in an instant.
Rolling to the side, Lu Xiaoan dodged, and then slashed at the foot of the dagger wind wolf. The power of this knife was not very great, and it only cut a blood mark on the calf of the dagger-toothed wind wolf, but the dagger-toothed wind wolf was still very angry, and he bit Lu Xiao'an with an angry howl.
Lu Xiaoan was still lying on the ground, and he couldn't dodge at all, but fortunately, Lu Xiaoan was in a hurry, and he actually put the magic knife up and stuck it in the mouth of the dagger wind wolf.
It can be regarded as Lu Xiao'an's luck, the mouth of this dagger wind wolf is just so big, and the magic knife pierced its upper jaw and pressed against its lower jaw, so that its mouth could not be opened and closed, and it could not be closed, so it could only howl in a hurry.
The only weapon of the dagger-toothed wind wolf is its mouth, and if it has no mouth, it will be no threat to Lu Xiaoan. So, Lu Xiaoan jumped up, jumped onto the neck of the dagger wind wolf, and hit its head with a random hammer.
The dagger-toothed wind wolf had no choice but to run wild on the grassland.
However, after hammering for a while, the dagger-toothed wind wolf didn't seem to have any, but Lu Xiaoan's hand was a little painful.
Lu Xiaoan said depressedly: "Lao Tzu's Heavenly Demon Forging Body, still can't beat you?"
came up ruthlessly, Lu Xiaoan fought to defeat both and continued to hammer, but Xiao Ai said: "Our world describes wolves as copper-headed, iron-bone, tofu waist, I don't know if your world is not." β
"Huh?"
It's the first time Lu Xiaoan has heard this, but since Xiao Ai said so, let's give it a try.
Lu Xiaoan grabbed the dagger's long hair and turned around, and then used his heart-destroying fist to hit the dagger's waist.
"Howling ......"
The dagger-toothed wind wolf howled again, and he turned around and wanted to bite Lu Xiaoan, but his mouth was blocked by the magic knife, and there was no way to do it.
Seeing that the waist was indeed the wolf's weakness, Lu Xiaoan opened his bow left and right, and hammered the dagger's waist with two consecutive punches.
The dagger wind wolf finally couldn't stand it anymore and was hammered to the ground by Lu Xiaoan. Lu Xiaoan is not merciful to all demon beasts, this dagger wind wolf wants to eat him, so it is only natural for him to kill it and take its dagger refiner.
Soon, the dagger-toothed wind wolf was beaten by Lu Xiao'an and vomited blood in his mouth. Of course, it always had blood in its mouth, but it was spat out of its stomach.
After hammering the dagger-toothed wind wolf to death, Lu Xiaoan first took the magic knife out of its mouth, and then vacated the largest storage bag and filled the corpse of the dagger-toothed wind wolf. In addition to daggers and the skins of demon beasts, they can also refine weapons or draw talismans, and Lu Xiaoan obviously doesn't want to waste it.
"I'm really lucky!"
Lu Xiaoan couldn't help but sigh.
If this dagger wind wolf is bigger, or smaller, then Lu Xiaoan will inevitably die today. As a result, it was not big or small, just enough to make Lu Xiaoan's magic knife jam into its mouth, and there was really no place to reason.
"Hey!"
smiled happily, and then Lu Xiaoan was stunned, because he found that there was green grass all around, and he couldn't figure out the direction at all.
Xiao Ai: "I have no less than ten ways to identify the direction. β
Lu Xiaoan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, I thought that you couldn't help it if these four weeks were exactly the same!"
Xiao Ai: "Although there is almost no difference on the ground, there is one in the sky, and you can judge the direction by the sun. β
Lu Xiaoan: "The direction error can be judged by the sun, which is too big. β
Xiao Ai: "That's your judgment with the naked eye, and there will be no error in my accurate calculations." β
Lu Xiaoan walked in the direction that Xiao Ai was pointing to, and at the same time asked Xiao Ai how to identify the direction. But suddenly, his feet were empty, and he rolled into a hole.
Lu Xiaoan said to Xiao Ai while rolling: "Aren't you able to scan the terrain, why didn't you find this hole?"
Xiao Ai: "The grass on the ground is still as high as your waist, how can I scan it." β
The cave was steep and deep, and Lu Xiaoan rolled for a long time and finally fell heavily to the ground.
"My waist!"
Lu Xiaoan just fell to his waist, and couldn't help muttering: "Is this the retribution for hitting someone else's waist?"
Xiao Ai: "You'd better get out quickly." β
Lu Xiaoan: "Why?"
Xiao Ai: "Although this cave is steep, it is obviously dug out with its claws, and judging by its size, the owner of this cave is a much bigger guy than the dagger wind wolf you killed. β
Lu Xiaoan trembled, and turned his head tremblingly, afraid that when he turned around, he would see a terrifying giant mouth.
Xiao Ai: "I've already scanned it, and the cave owner is not at home." β
Lu Xiaoan breathed a sigh of relief, but just as he was about to climb out, Xiao Ai said again: "There is a fruit core in this cave, it should be a spiritual object, do you want to take it away." β
"Nonsense!"
Lu Xiaoan turned around and went to look for it, although he was in a hurry to escape, but he was not at this time.
Under Xiao Ai's guidance, Lu Xiaoan directly found a pit that was a little smaller than a fist and a bit like a peach pit. No matter what it is, Lu Xiaoan put it away and hurriedly climbed up, if it was blocked by the cave owner, it would really be certain to die.
Fortunately, the owner of the cave did not come back, and Lu Xiaoan escaped smoothly and ascended to heaven.
Three days later, Lu Xiaoan finally walked out of the grassland, and then he took out the kernel and studied it.
Lu Xiaoan felt the rich Lingqi from this kernel, this must be a treasure, but he was a little puzzled, why didn't the demon beast eat it?
Just when Lu Xiaoan was wondering if this thing would be poisonous, Xiao Ai said, "Didn't you find out that this is the core that the demon beast eats left?"
Lu Xiaoan was a little nauseous all of a sudden, and said, "But this core is obviously also a treasure, why don't you eat it together?"
Xiao Ai: "When people eat apples, the kernels can also be eaten, and they also provide energy, so why don't people eat the kernels of apples?"
"Makes sense!"
But Lu Xiaoan still has some psychological obstacles, he is a human monk, does he actually want to eat the remaining fruit cores eaten by demon beasts?
Xiao Ai: "What's this, this kernel is also a nut, you only eat the kernel inside, and you don't have to eat the husk, besides, in our world, humans still eat the pulled out by cats!"
Lu Xiaoan was taken aback, and couldn't help but admire: "The people in your world are so powerful!"
Xiao Ai: "Of course, it's not the same as you understand, it's a drink, called cat poop coffee, the principle of production is to let the civet eat the coffee beans, ferment in the stomach, so that the coffee beans will taste more unique, although I can't understand, but human beings respect this thing, especially after the civet cat is almost extinct, it is a hundred times more expensive than gold." β
"Well, I'm feeling better now. β
Lu Xiaoan balanced, at least he didn't eat anything that came out of the excretory hole.
So, Lu Xiaoan took out the magic knife, smashed the core with the back of the knife, and threw the kernel inside into his mouth to eat it.
After Lu Xiaoan ate it, Xiao Ai said: "Actually, there is also a possibility, that is, this fruit core is excreted by the demon beast, and according to the hardness of this fruit core, it is normal that it cannot be digested." β
Lu Xiaoan suddenly didn't want to talk to Xiao Ai.
After a breath, a strong spiritual qi erupted in Lu Xiao'an's abdomen, impacting his limbs and bones. Lu Xiaoan hurriedly devoured the heavens and the earth, and began to swallow this pure spiritual qi.
Cultivation climbed at a speed visible to the naked eye, breaking through the ninth layer of Qi cultivation in the blink of an eye. After only a few breaths, he rushed to the tenth layer of Qi training. Lu Xiaoan frowned, there are too many Lingqi, just like a volcanic eruption, if you change to other Qi practitioners, I am afraid that you will be directly supported by this Lingqi and die.
Speeding up the speed of running the exercises, Lu Xiaoan's cultivation soon broke through to the eleventh layer of qi training, but this was not over, his cultivation was still expanding rapidly. It was also thanks to Lu Xiao'an's cultivation of Heaven Swallowing and Earth, otherwise even if he was not blown up by this Lingqi, he would not be able to digest it, and could only let most of the Lingqi escape from his body.
Lu Xiaoan was naturally unwilling to waste these pure Lingqi, so he desperately ran the exercises, bringing the ability to swallow the heavens and the earth to the extreme. Although his face was flushed, after a cup of tea, Lu Xiao'an's cultivation broke through the twelfth layer of Qi training.
Finally, Lu Xiaoan's cultivation growth slowed down, which was also because his spiritual power was far greater than that of others, otherwise he would really not be able to digest this fruit core.
"Hoo ......"
Lu Xiaoan let out a long breath of Lingqi, and his cultivation finally stopped at the twelfth layer of Qi training, and it was not far from the thirteenth layer of Qi training.
"Xiao Ai, in the future, you can just hold this kind of thing in your heart, and you don't have to say it. β
Originally, it should be very exciting to cultivate for continuous breakthroughs, but because of Xiao Ai's words, Lu Xiaoan couldn't be happy.
Xiao Ai: "I thought you had accepted it, but in fact, it's nothing, a lot of ......"
"Okay, little love, you don't have to say it. β
Lu Xiaoan directly interrupted Xiao Ai, he really didn't want to continue to discuss this topic.
Feeling the spiritual power in his body, Lu Xiaoan almost thought that he could fight head-on with the dagger wind wolf before. Of course, this is only an illusion, a sequelae of the rapid growth of power.
Breaking through four small realms in a row, Lu Xiaoan's strength has indeed improved a lot, but if you really want to make a comparison, it is far less than the improvement he has improved by practicing Jackie Chan and fighting in the wild.
But if the two of them are combined, Lu Xiaoan's strength has undergone earth-shaking changes in just two months, and now he has the confidence to fight with the monks of the fifth layer of the Tongmai Realm. It's another story to say if you can't beat it first, but it sounds scary.
