109th Shock Demon-Slaying
On the shore of Fog Lake, occasionally a fish jumps out of the water and opens up a patch of ripples.
He gazed intently at the text for a while, then closed his eyes and silently recited the method of cultivating wind and cloud energy. After reading it for half a day, he finally thoroughly memorized the entire text, word by word, in his mind, and also began to understand that this condensed energy was the foundation of cultivating internal energy.
The old man walked behind Qian Jing, lifted his leg and kicked him in the buttocks. The force sent him directly into the lake, like a huge stone falling into the water, startling the fish around to swim frantically.
Qian Jin floated in the water, rubbing his sore butt that had been kicked. His tenth-level Dou Qi spread throughout his body as he swam deeper into the Lava Lake. After advancing only a dozen or so meters, he felt like he was going to be cooked into a meatball.
"I said... Master" Qian Jin Pao floated in the lake and turned his head to look at the old man: "What about the Dou Ling Great Array?"
"The old man stroked his beard and pointed to a location not far from Qianjin: "There, underwater. Once you get there, start working on it, I'll help you activate the formation."
Qianjin stared at the water five meters away, his eyes were about to spout fire. In the misty water two or three meters below, there was a wooden board with a diameter of three meters, but this wooden board did not float on the surface of the water, it was two or three meters below the surface of the water.
On this circular black wooden board, dozens of messy thirty or so pieces of Dou Shi were placed. At first glance, each piece of Dou Shi was a tenth-grade Dou Shi! In the middle position of the wooden board, a piece of stone that flashed with blood-red color was also placed, and a thread of Dou Neng slowly diffused outward.
"Dou Jing!" Gan Jing was shocked and blurted out the name of the red stone, which surpassed the tenth-grade Dou Shi. Any warrior family would never sell, but only buy Dou Jing! Whether it's the storage capacity or purity, Dou Jing far surpasses the tenth-grade Dou Shi!
In an instant, the temperature of Gan Jing's eyes rose again. However, this time the rise in temperature was no longer due to the water temperature, but because he was in a state of unprecedented excitement.
"I've lost a fortune! Even the Dou Jing has been brought out……" Gan Jing took two urgent deep breaths, his teeth clenched so tightly that his gums were bleeding, and his body was like a swordfish desperately swimming towards a position that should have already exceeded its physical limits.
A distance of five meters is not far, but it's already the limit within the limits of dryness. Soaking in water is like jumping into a fire pit, and the temperature of the internal organs makes my throat want to spit out flames.
Floating above the Dou Ling array, Qian Jing heavily let out a breath. The failure of the Bloodline Awakening Ceremony meant that for the descendants of the Qian family, life was now left with only darkness. Yet, he found his way back to the path of greatness in the midst of darkness!
Qianjin took a deep breath, his eyes swept over the Douling Great Array at his feet, and a confident smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
"Overcoming the Demon Warrior is not necessarily a guaranteed success for any warrior. The Great Spirit Array can increase the chances of success, but it's not 100%. Dryan curled his lips and smiled with growing confidence. These days of bitter training had already surpassed what an ordinary level-10 warrior could achieve, plus last night's training with Blake, combined with this expensive Spirit Array underfoot..."
"If I still can't defeat the Demon Slayer even with this, then I might as well just cut my own throat with a saber!"
The old man stood on the shore, muttering to himself with a hint of approval at the corners of his lips and eyes. Although it's possible for a demon-slaying warrior to fail, they should be more cautious, but without sufficient confidence, even becoming a demon-slaying warrior would have limited development.
The scorching temperature couldn't last, Qian Jin suddenly closed his eyes tightly, his whole body's muscles tense like real rocks, the bright red skin below had the tenth level of Dou Qi moving according to the circulation method of "Wind Cloud Dou Qi".
The old man's hands were clasped together in front of his chest, revealing a hint of a smile. As the dry and powerful aura rose to its limit, the Dou stones on the large Dou Ling array beneath him also burst forth with threads of light. The Dou crystals at the center of the array shone with an almost eerie glow.
Suddenly, he felt a massive surge of Dou Qi rising from the bottom of his body, as if it was going to completely envelop him. The Dou Ke in his body, which had been cultivated into a line, began to rotate at high speed, violently absorbing the Dou Qi that seemed strong enough to support his entire body.
In the quiet and fierce Fire Lake, the dry and tense pores opened and closed, the blood squeezed out from the gums flowed out of the tongue tip, bringing a faint bloody smell, Dou Nai quickly inhaled, making him want to scream in pain, the feeling was like millions of steel needles piercing through the pores and into the skin.
A strand of Dou can be produced from the Dou Ling array, entwining and twisting each other, like hundreds or thousands of colorful water snakes, surrounding the Gan Jing and jumping in a magnificent snake dance.
They were drawn into the Qianjin body by the suction of each Doukong, and they desperately drilled in. Those seemingly dormant Doukongs instantly awakened! They swallowed these Dou Nengs, completely disregarding whether the Qianjin could withstand this impact, and the Dou Jing rapidly soared to new heights in an instant.
Pure energy continuously flows into the 108 acupoints, and each originally withered acupoint is like a dry reservoir being flooded by a burst of water, quickly filling up. The isolated but interconnected meridians start to flow outward slowly as the energy accumulates to its peak in the acupoints, forming a line that connects the 108 acupoints.
Fighting spirit! Enormous fighting spirit! All 108 acupoints are filled, yet it's still only fighting spirit and not fighting energy!
"Turn! Turn! Turn! Turn......"
His body was in the hot lake, sweat gushing out and merging with the lake water immediately. All his attention was focused on the 108 acupoints inside his body, constantly controlling them and wanting to rotate them.
This is not the hundred and eight Du Mai's Qi, going along the Du Mai in a circular motion, but each of the Du Mai's Qi must rotate on its own!
Only when it is truly rotating and forming a vortex can the aura be condensed!
One hundred and eight acupoints, as if being drilled by one hundred and eight drill bits, the dry and powerful feeling that even the golden body is about to be drilled into pieces. The body can't help but start convulsing continuously, unable to stop the scorching hot lake water temperature from invading the body. In the next second, it's possible to be completely flooded with heat, thoroughly scalded to death...
The wind turns into a hurricane. The cloud transforms into countless rains.
In the dry and strong sea of consciousness, the words "Feng Yun Dou Qi" suddenly flashed by, as if grasping something in an instant. The high temperature that surged into the body had not yet rushed into the five organs, and the Dou Kongs inside the body were no longer scattered and rotating on their own. The dry and strong body transformed into a huge "hurricane", with the 108 Dou Kongs' Dou Jing all rotating together, transforming Dou Jing into Dou Qi!
A hurricane-like aura, once activated, instantly draws in the high-temperature heat that was about to invade the body and shreds it into powder with a powerful suction force at the Dantian, filling the aura with these high temperatures thread by thread.
Almost at the same time! The dead acupoints in Qianjin's body! Those twelve dead acupoints circulating with the "Iron Forging Breathing Method" suddenly became active, as if they extremely enjoyed the high temperature of the lake water, and swallowed the heat from the surrounding lake water around his body.
In an instant! The dry and clear feeling, the water temperature around his body was dropping! The twelve dead acupoints in his body that were circulating with the "Iron Forging Breathing Method" were now hot like red-hot branding irons, directly nailed onto his body!
Whale Swallow! 【Iron Forging Breathing Method】 Controlled the twelve deadly acupoints, madly devouring the surrounding heat, in an instant it also became a special circulation!
What's going on? What's happening?
Rumble!
Qian Jin felt his body suddenly shake violently, without needing to exert any force, he could easily block the high temperature outside his body.
Feeling utterly drained of strength, he weakly stretched out his limbs and lay on the water's surface, sensing the turbulent true qi within him. His passion filled every nerve in his body as he opened his mouth to let out a long, satisfying roar.
Sound, rushing straight up to the clouds.
Floating in the scalding lake water, I feel my body recovering its strength thread by thread. After the initial excitement, more questions flooded my mind.
"That's strange, it doesn't seem right. It's always been difficult for Demon Slayers to advance, and those with a stronger foundation are more likely to succeed. The books say that someone once succeeded in advancing from 10th level warrior to Demon Slayer in just a few breaths, with the help of the Great Spirit Array."
The more I think about it, the more I don't understand. Even if my foundation is worse than that of a 10th-level warrior recorded in books, it shouldn't be as difficult as it was just now, right? Whether it's time or the suffering endured, it can be said that it almost set the worst record for becoming a demon-slaying warrior.
Even if they were the worst of the basics, barely able to become a demon-slaying warrior at level 10, the suffering and time they endured were much, much less than their own.
"What are you relaxing for?" The old man shouted from the shore, "Drag your Dou Ling array! It hasn't consumed all of it yet! Drag it! Drag it into the lake!"
Qianjin adjusted his posture, dragging the wooden board of the Douling Array, and swam a distance of 150 meters into the lake before feeling that he was about to be steamed again. He had no choice but to stop and practice the Wind Cloud Dou Qi for a while until the Dou energy of the Douling Array completely dissipated, then he swam back to the shore.
Splash...
Qian Jin climbed up to the shore, shook off his lake-soaked clothes, and slightly twitched the corner of his mouth as he looked at the old man: "I said... Master, just now how did I almost rush over?"
The old man smiled but didn't answer, looking at Qian Jin. He lightly shook his arm, making the sleeves flutter with a "pa pa" sound: "Want to try your hand?"
"Go!" Qianjin took off his wet shirt, and the internal Qi burst out like a strong gust of wind. He stepped on one foot, sending mud flying everywhere, and in a flash, he took a step forward. The wet clothes in his hand were like an iron rod, smashing down onto the old man's head.
The clothes had been soaked in the lake water and had already become heavy, and with a loud crackling sound, as if the waves were hitting the rocks on the shore.
