Chapter 9: The Swordsman's Week
In the Nuoda Cave Heaven, a tall figure sitting on the lotus platform was constantly using his soul power to manipulate the gravel on the ground, constantly changing their attack speed and frequency, and attacking the naked boy in the clearing.
"Ah~ It hurts, can the master reduce the speed and quantity of the stones, I really can't react. Xiao He gritted his teeth and said in pain.
But no matter how Xiao He cried out in pain, Zhao Kaiyang didn't mean to reduce the attack speed of the stone at all, but when Xiao He just started to adapt to dodging under this attack speed, he quietly increased the frequency and number of attacks, trying to challenge his limit.
"Hmph~ You can't do it yourself so soon, and you're embarrassed to speak. You usually rely too much on what you see and hear with your eyes before you control your limbs through your nerves, which is obviously too passive. Now you have to learn to use your soul power to perceive everything around you, instead of dodging attacks through instinct, if you encounter a powerful enemy in the future, you will have no chance to react!
"Well, then I'll try~"
Xiaohe listened to what Zhao Kaiyang said, and decided to give it a try. So, he summoned the soul power out of his body and channeled it around his body, so that he could feel it in a space of several meters around him. As soon as the stone passes, Xiao He's body will get a quick feedback, so as to dodge in the corresponding direction.
Although Xiao He's method of using soul power to perceive rapid attacks from outside is very effective, but in doing so, his soul power will still be defeated and consumed under the impact of stones, and his physical strength will become exhausted after dodging for a long time.
Finally, Xiao He was hit by stones one after another because of too much soul power consumption and his physical strength couldn't keep up, making his skin blue and his face swollen, and he couldn't stand the ground.
Zhao Kaiyang saw that Xiao He really didn't have the strength to get up, so he stopped attacking. And walked down from the stone platform, and then helped Xiao He up and took him to the pool.
At the same time, he urged him to use his soul power to urge the four veins of yin and yang to start pranayama, and after this dodge training, the four veins in his body opened up to varying degrees.
Moreover, he was also surprised to find that the soul power on his body had obviously been greatly expanded, and there were faint signs of overflow.
At this time, Zhao Kaiyang, who was standing next to him, also sensed the soul power that was about to overflow from his body, and immediately shouted directly at him:
"Quickly drive the soul power of your whole body to the heavenly spirit cover to compress and fuse into a soul core, there is only one chance, if it fails, it will have an impact on the human body, leaving sequelae will be troublesome, and it may be difficult to produce soul power again! However, once the soul core is formed, it will be much easier to incorporate soul power in the future. ”
Xiao He was obviously very scared after hearing this, and suddenly panicked, and sat in the pool and became overwhelmed.
Even he couldn't believe that condensing the soul core would be so dangerous, and he couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts in his heart, wishing that his mother could appear at this moment and care for him again.
Miss Zhao, who she missed, also appeared by her side and gave her a deep kiss, so that she could be instantly full of energy and move forward......
As all kinds of distracting thoughts in Xiao He's heart continued to pour out, the soul power in his body was a little uncontrollable, and they all began to become chaotic.
Zhao Kaiyang also had a big face, and he knew that he shouldn't scare him like this, after all, it was the first time for him, and he also used his soul power to help him suppress it, which stabilized a little.
Then, he directly used his soul power to transmit the sound to Xiao He, and drank:
"Boy, you don't want to die? Now that you are at the end of the crossbow, if you choose to cower and be afraid, the soul power overflowing in your body will have nowhere to go, and it will still run around in your body, causing you to explode and die. You might as well stabilize your mind and use it for your own use, so as to lay the foundation for you to become a strong man. Either you die weak now, or you stand tall as a strong man, it's all up to you!"
After hearing these words, Xiao He was also suddenly shocked, came back to his senses, and suddenly woke up. I thought to myself, didn't I make up my mind to become a strong man, and there were so many people who needed to be guarded by myself, how could I die so easily. In that case, then come, the more ferocious the better!
So, Xiao He began to become calm, sat up on the spot, and put his hands open and closed at the knees of his legs.
At this time, he was motionless like a Buddha statue, if it weren't for the beads of sweat condensed on his face, it would be difficult to see that there was a expulsion battle going on in his body at this moment, which looked extremely chaotic.
When Zhao Kaiyang saw Xiao He sitting up quietly, he finally began to drive away the compressed soul power and condense the soul core. Only then did he quietly breathe a sigh of relief, he really sweated for him just now, shook his head slightly, and said:
"Hey, this kid is really restless, some things are not chosen by himself, and he can give them up casually, because there is no way back. If you want to become stronger, you don't just rely on words, the key depends on action, no matter what kind of life and death torture you encounter, you have to be hard-headed. ”
Then, Zhao Kaiyang began to use his soul power to probe the flow of soul power in He's body, and carefully guided him to compress and condense his soul power, and only when necessary would he use his soul power to suppress it to avoid Xiao He from suffering backlash.
After all, the cultivation of soul power in the future can only look at himself, he can't be staring at the side every time, and he can only rely on himself if he wants to become a real powerhouse.
At this time, Xiao He held his breath and condensed, slowly drove the soul power of his whole body to the Heavenly Spirit Cover, and carefully compressed and condensed it, not daring to slack off.
Xiao He found that at the beginning, when the soul power was driven away, no matter which direction it started, the soul power in that place would dodge, and then quickly transfer to other places, as if there was a sense of self-escape, it was difficult to integrate them together, and then go in one direction like a duck.
This made him feel very troubled, and for a while he didn't know what to do to get them into his Heavenly Spirit Cover.
However, he slowly discovered later that every shift in soul power was due to the pull of the first bit of soul power, which then led to the overall movement.
Thinking of this, he also had an idea, if he used a trace of soul power in his entire body as a traction, could he also drive the soul power of his whole body into the heavenly spirit cover.
With this bold assumption, Xiao He tried, and the result was indeed unexpected, the soul power of the whole body was led by a trace of soul power in one place, and then he slowly flowed towards the Heavenly Spirit Cover, just like a small opening in a pond, and the water inside would naturally flow out from here.
Although this thorny problem has been solved, Xiao He still can't relax, and he still has to keep the soul power at the threshold of the Heavenly Spirit Gai and adjust its size, so as not to input too much or too little.
At the same time, he also had to aggregate and compress the soul power that entered the Heavenly Spirit Gai, and control a certain amount of strength to keep them at a balanced point.
Not long after, Xiao He Tianling had already begun to have the prototype of the soul core.
All this was naturally seen by Zhao Kaiyang on the side, he was also very shocked, and couldn't help nodding, he admired the cultivation talent of the young man in front of him a little, and wanted to praise it.
"I didn't expect this kid to be quite good at using his brain, this way is softer, much stronger than those random drives, not bad. ”
Seeing this, Zhao Kaiyang muttered, smiled, and stroked his beard that was about to fall out by the way.
Using this method will obviously reduce the exclusion between soul powers, so that they can be input in a stable and orderly manner.
It's just that the speed is a little slow, but the texture of the condensed soul core is relatively uniform, and there won't be too many holes inside.
This process took about four hours. Finally, a fist-sized gray-white mist-like ball appeared on Xiao He's Heavenly Spirit Cover.
Seeing this, Zhao Kaiyang on the side began to speak again, so he said:
"Boy, although you have now compressed and condensed your soul power, this is far from enough, you still have to carry out the last step, which is to further compress the round soul core prototype in front of you, compress it to a critical point, and it will produce qualitative changes by itself and condense into a nucleus, as long as you reach this step, you can be considered truly successful! However, this step is the most critical and the most dangerous, you have to be mentally prepared. You should hurry up and breathe now, so that your body can quickly return to the best state, and with your current state of fatigue, you may make mistakes, which will be dangerous. ”
When Xiao He heard this, he immediately panicked again, and finally condensed his soul power into shape, and it turned out that there was one last step, and it was the most dangerous.
Now that it's like this, Xiao He didn't dare to slack off, so he had to nod yes. Then enter the waterhole again and begin pranayama. After a while, Xiao He was back to his best.
Next came the last step, which was to compress the fist-sized soul power ball cultivation into a soul core. I saw Xiao He wrap the soul power ball layer by layer and compress it, at the beginning of the compression did have a tendency to shrink, but the further back it was, the more difficult it was to compress.
When compressed to the size of a thumb, it can't be pressed at all, and the soul power inside seems to start to become violent, but it has a tendency to bounce outward.
At this time, Xiao He also panicked, feeling that no matter how hard he compressed, he couldn't make it smaller again, but he began to feel a little weak, and he was really afraid that a soul explosion would happen directly if he was a little careless, and his back began to chill.
So, he asked directly to Zhao Kaiyang on the side:
"Master, what should I do next?The soul power in this can't be suppressed no matter how much it is pressed, but there is a tendency to rebound, I can't stand it anymore, ah~"
"You stabilize your mind first, that tipping point is coming, you must hold on, otherwise it is not a joke to let it bounce back. Quick, hold your breath and concentrate, ready to give it a go, don't have reservations, I will help you!" Zhao Kaiyang naturally had to anticipate it, and said.
Immediately after, he began to change his handprint, and then pasted his thick right hand towards Xiao He Tianling's cover, and a gentle soul power quickly poured out.
Xiao He also felt that a gentle force was quickly joining this tug-of-war, and he was suddenly shocked and launched a final attack. Xiaohe yelled:
"Rush~ Master fought with you, give me Ning!yah~"
The soul power inside naturally would not be easily oppressed like this, and it was also running around, which made Xiao He also miserable, and his face was so uncomfortable that he was about to deform.
Just when he was about to lose his bearing, he saw that the soul power ball, which had been compressed to the size of a needle, began to emit a trace of light.
At this moment, Xiao He seemed a little irritable, and he wanted to give up.
No matter how Zhao Kaiyang on his side used his soul power to send a voice to remind, it didn't work, he knew that Xiao He's heart had collapsed at this time, and he couldn't hold on anymore.
Xiao He himself also knew that he was dying, but he was very unwilling, and when he suddenly saw the glimmer of light that came out, he no longer felt afraid, because he didn't even have the strength to escape, so he had to rush to death!
"Is this going to explode......"
I saw the corners of his mouth raised slightly, his heart was full of unwillingness, and he muttered quietly.
At this moment, Xiao He's face began to become a little hideous, his teeth were clenched until his lips turned blue, and when he saw that ray of white light, he no longer had the slightest fear, and even wanted to laugh in his heart!
So he shouted to the glowing place:
"Haha, come on, I'm not afraid, sir, fight!"
At this time, he seemed to have the consciousness of dying with his body, and used all the strength of his last breath!
Finally, Xiao He saw that the light in front of him was constantly enlarged in his eyes, and his eyes became invisible at this moment, just blank.
Unexpectedly, a gray nucleated sphere was forming inside, and a small fluorescent sphere was lingering around its periphery, which represented a week.
He could not see anything, but he had slowly closed his eyes, and lay quietly in the pool.
Zhao Kaiyang, who was beside Xiao He, also withdrew his right hand for the first time, and then easily picked Xiao He up from the pool, and said slightly to his stretched beautiful face:
"You're doing a good job, get some sleep. Congratulations, from now on, you will be a swordsman of the week. ”
Xiao He seemed to hear Zhao Kaiyang's voice, and the corners of his mouth were also slightly cracked, as if he was smiling with satisfaction.
