Chapter 55: Shadow of the Wind (Part II)

"Does the wind have a shadow? No, then you will be the shadow of the wind - because no one can fight against the shadow of the wind!"

This was the first sentence on the Wind Shadow Mental Method, and Luo Xiao was deeply attracted by this sentence just by looking at it. He believes that ninety percent of the seniors and seniors who have chosen this miraculous skill are inspired by this awesome and coaxing rhetoric, and their blood is surging, and their brains are hot and they fall into the pit.

Indeed, as long as you practice, it is equivalent to entering the pit.

When Luo Xiao took the first step, he understood why Deacon Kang Wu repeatedly emphasized that only a warrior could cultivate, because if he didn't use the Yuan Force Shield to cover his head and face, he couldn't breathe normally, and if he couldn't even do the most basic pranayama, how could he operate the Yuan Force?

The wind in the Dragon Roar Valley is terrifying, ordinary people can't stand it, warriors can't bear it, even the warriors who are comparable to the body of gold and stone have been blown for a long time, and it is difficult to bear it, and the wind evil enters the body and leaves a secret wound.

However, even so, when the samurai practiced this skill, at most they condensed a Yuan Force hood to facilitate pranayama, and they would never dare to spend more Yuan Force. Because even if the whole body is covered with a Yuan Force shield, it only reduces the invasion and dark injury of Gangfeng on the body, and will not isolate the wind pressure because of this, how strong the wind pressure should be borne by the body, in this case, it is better to save the Yuan Force, so that you can go a few more weeks of circulation.

Yes, taking as many steps as possible is the highest pursuit of all samurai who practice this miraculous skill.

Luo Xiao later spent ten more merit points to get a piece of experience from a previous cultivator from the Secret Martial Pavilion, which gave him a lot of inspiration. Moreover, he also found it very interesting, that is, almost every cultivator would mark how many weeks he had gone through the best results without using pills and relying only on his own Yuan Core power—it seemed that to some extent, this had become a way to measure how much a cultivator could achieve.

Luo Xiao was most impressed by the three most representative samurai achievements: a high-level Xuanwu warrior, a true nucleus-level yuan core, his best result was a three-day cycle, which took half a month, and he didn't even enter the door; the second was a high-level Suzaku warrior who was known for his quick work, and he was also a true nucleus, and his best result was a ten-day cycle, which took half a month, and this one was considered a beginner; the third was the only tenth-order warrior who practiced this technique, his yuan core was extremely condensed, and the yuan power was condensed to the extreme. The Yuan Force reserves of the seventh-order warriors are not known to be higher than those of ordinary people. However, such a supreme tenth-order warrior only went through the thirty-six Zhou Cycle in the end! It took thirty-six days, which was barely a small success.

Thirty-six weeks and days, this is the best result of the top powerhouses in the domain realm.

Luo Xiao noticed that after this top powerhouse announced his results, in the past ten years, no one has tried to cultivate this miraculous skill. The "achievement" of this tenth-order warrior almost broke the will of all latecomers who were interested in cultivating this miraculous skill.

You can't even train a tenth-order warrior, why are you sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth orders still tossing around? If you have the time, energy, money, and material resources, what is wrong with practicing anything else, so why do you practice this?

So many cultivators spend a lot of time, energy, and financial resources to practice this technique, but in the end they have to give up halfway, all the efforts are exhausted, and the bamboo basket is empty, this is not only called a pit, but also a sinkhole!

Therefore, Luo Xiao is the only person who has chosen this martial art in the past ten years, and he is also a "martial artist". In the eyes of Deacon Kang and other people in the Secret Martial Pavilion, this is a little guy with a very high heart but who doesn't know the height of the sky, anyway, he has fulfilled his obligation to remind, let him hit the south wall if he doesn't listen to people's advice.

On the fifth day, Luo Xiao stood in front of the Dragon Roar Valley again, as late autumn came, the wind became more and more violent and fierce, Luo Xiao was sure that if he was really just a fifth-order martial artist, it would be difficult to enter the valley alone, let alone start body training.

"On the fifth day, I am basically familiar with the adaptive training of walking according to the footprints, and today I can officially 'break through'. ”

I don't know which cultivator started to call the formal cultivation of Wind Shadow "Breaking Steps", and since then this name has spread, and it has been used until now.

In order to break through for the first time today, Luo Xiao made full preparations, not only adjusted the state to the best, but also specially ordered a set of close-fitting water supporters - that's right, it is the kind of special clothes worn by the "water ghosts" in the gangs who beg for a living on the water, usually made of shark skin, which is not only waterproof, but also has good wind resistance.

Whether it is a three-day cycle in half a month, or a ten-day cycle, it is not in Luo Xiao's consideration, his reference is a tenth-order warrior's one-day-by-one week-day cycle. I don't know if my super yuan core can support him to complete the journey.

There was no one in the valley, Luo Xiao casually took off his coat and threw it into the cave, revealing his streamlined body, and his face was covered with a layer of transparent gauze Yuanli mask as his mind turned. Everything is ready to go.

"Let's go, let's go!"

Luo Xiao took a step sideways, steadily stepping into the first footprint, and at the same time running the unique mental method of Wind Shadow. In an instant, Luo Xiao's body seemed to open a floodgate, and the dantian yuan force surged towards the limbs and hundreds of corpses with a violent momentum that was not inferior to the external wind. At this moment, Luo Xiao felt that he was swelling and uncomfortable as if he had enough qi, and he urgently needed a way to vent, otherwise he had no doubt that his huge yuan power would shoot out from the pores of his body.

This is really too weird! It's okay to practice the mental method alone, and it's okay to walk by the footprints alone, but such a terrifying phenomenon will occur only if the mental method is combined with the footprints. Fortunately, Luo Xiao has not read the records of his predecessors in the past few days, and he already knows this phenomenon, but he is not alarmed, but follows the instructions of his predecessors and takes the second and third steps...... After that, the number of steps became more and more, faster and faster, and the dark blue valley in the wind was like a star pill jumping, like a flying swallow shuttling like lightning in a storm.

Yuan Li gushed like a spring, following the unique mental operation route of the Wind Shadow, and transmitted to the thirty-two meridians of the body. Luo Xiao obviously felt that his entire body was doubly lighter, and it seemed that even the resistance of the wind was a little less, making his speed faster, and even ghosting...... Of course, there are pros and cons to everything, every time Luo Xiao runs Zhou Tian, the Yuan Core shrinks by one point, and such a sharp loss makes him have a trace of enlightenment in his heart, which is probably the reason why cultivators in the past can't go long.

The dragon roared in the valley, the wind roared, and a dark blue figure flew up and down like a light green feather in the rolling whirlwind, and every leap accurately stepped on the footprints of the middle mountain road and the stone wall.

Luo Xiao noticed two situations when he was proficient in footwork and environment in the past few days.

First, the valley Gang wind is not completely blowing, because the rock wall is not a wall after all, and the rock wall is concave and convex, and there are cracks, so when passing through these special places, the gang wind blowing will change. Sometimes a whirlpool of wind will form, sometimes the wind speed will suddenly increase, sometimes it will slow down, and it is more likely to suddenly become disturbed and disrupt the balance of the body.

Luo Xiao faintly guessed the reason why the senior master who left the Wind Shadow Miracle Skill chose the Dragon Roar Valley, obviously, this is the use of Gangfeng through the Valley to simulate the real-life battle, which is indeed greatly enhanced in difficulty, but in such an environment, the effect of tempering is definitely a hundred and ten times better than the graphic cultivation drawn on the book. Of course, the consumption of Yuan Li is also proportional, and there are opinions on this point.

The other is footprints, which seem to be messy, but they contain mysteries. Footprints are not in a regular forward direction, but in every direction, some are forward, some are sideways, some are backward, some are juxtaposed, and the footprints are also of various shapes, full footprints, half palm prints, toe prints, and heel prints...... It can be described as complicated, and there are almost no two footprints with the same shape, which is why Luo Xiao spent three or four days walking skillfully before he dared to get started.

And these 108 steps in addition to the first ten steps are basically a step, from the eleventh step, the distance is getting farther and farther, the difficulty of crossing is getting bigger and bigger, and the ground is getting higher and higher. When you reach 30 steps, the distance between the steps is more than 3 zhang, and by the time you reach 50 steps, the distance between them has reached 78 zhang, and the height of the ground has also reached 78 zhang. This can no longer be called "walking", but "leaping".

At this time, Luo Xiao, who was already nearly ten zhang in the air, was like a remnant leaf flying in the wind, and he could clearly feel that more than half of the Yuan Force had been consumed, and the original fist-sized super Yuan Core had shrunk to the size of an egg—even so, it was still several laps larger than the so-called "True Nucleus".

"There's still half the way, accelerate and accelerate!"

Luo Xiao shouted wildly in his heart, looking up at the giant sky-facing stone pillar outside the front of the valley - there, that is, the end!

The pace of the body did not stop at all, jumped in the air, and tapped the right side of the mountain wall with a mark that also only showed the toes, and the figure rose three feet higher. From the mouth of the valley, Luo Xiao is like a big bird, constantly stepping on the mountain walls on both sides, and taking advantage of the strength to rise into the air. And when the furious wind reached the halfway point of the mountain, it seemed to change his temperament and become a proprietor to support him to rise.

When Luo Xiao's toes touched the footprints on the raised rock, suddenly an evil wind swept from the huge crack on the side of the rock, Luo Xiao's body flickered, but he was not shocked, a tendon suddenly appeared in his hand, and he slapped the opposite rock wall, and his body quickly stabilized with the power of the shock, and he stepped on the fifty-step footprints in danger.

There were unexpected interferences in the next sixty-fourth and seventy-second steps, but Luo Xiao's "stepping on the spot" a few days ago was not in vain, he had already done it in his heart, and he had also formulated countermeasures, so he had no danger to overcome.

At this time, Luo Xiao had already sensed that the Yuan Force was about to be exhausted, and when he looked at the dantian, he found that the Yuan Core had shrunk like a pearl, and if he couldn't replenish it in time, he was afraid that he would have to fall down after eight or nine steps.

"It seems that my limit is only about eighty steps. ”

Luo Xiao knew that this was because his Yuan Nucleus was not concentrated enough, if he could reach the seventh order, Yuan Force Liquid, he would be able to truly break through to the end with his Yuan Nucleus.

Of course, it's good to prove your strength here, and then it's time to use resources.

Luo Xiao moved his hands, took out the spirit stone that had been prepared for a long time, grabbed a piece with one hand, and quickly extracted it.

More than a dozen low-grade spirit stones in the fairy stone cave sky, most of them have evolved into medium-grade spirit stones, and the turbidity of the middle-grade spirit stones has been greatly reduced, with the huge size of Luo Xiaoyuan's core and the thickness of the meridians, some miscellaneous qi can be quickly discharged, and it will not be deposited in the body to damage the meridians.

With a trace of pure spiritual energy pouring into the palm of the hand, it was injected into the dantian along the meridians, and at this time, the Yuan Nucleus that had shrunk like the dragon's eye core was like a sponge absorbing water, quickly absorbing and transforming the Yuan Force, which could offset the consumption of the Wind Shadow, and maintain Luo Xiao's impact of eighty-one, ninety, and one hundred steps......

With a steady stream of aura infusion, although Luo Xiao's body swayed in the wind from time to time, and sometimes he stepped on his steps and was a little hurried, his progress was firm and unstoppable.

One Hundred and One...... One hundred and three...... One hundred and seven......

With a long roar that resounded through the valley, a dark blue figure ascended step by step, like a ladder to the sky, and finally stretched out his arms, and landed on the spire of the pillar as light as a feather. Looking back at the mountain road, the wind roared under the soles of my feet, and it was really indescribably happy.

"One hundred and eight steps, achieved!"
