Chapter 161 True Technique
Gu Ke finally couldn't hold back any longer. He originally wanted to play dead and wait for Xiao Weiqing to get close so he could deliver a fatal blow and kill him in return.
But the flames on his body didn't seem to go out; if this continued, his entire body would burn away.
His enormous body shrank rapidly. Gu Ke's eyes flashed, and with a swift movement, he severed his left arm and right leg, gouging out a large chunk of flesh from his neck.
He looked as if he had been bathed in a pool of blood.
Even so, Gu Ke did not die; he held a knife in his right hand, his face contorted in a ferocious expression.
Xiao Weiqing sneered, "You think you can fool me with that?"
"Even a cornered beast will fight back; let's see how much blood you have left to shed."
The left arm and right leg on the ground turned to ashes, leaving only a few wisps of Samadhi True Fire, which floated back into Xiao Weiqing's hand.
It depicts a miniature fire owl composed entirely of Samadhi True Fire, its eyes flashing with fire as it stares at Gu Ke.
Xiao Weiqing had a clear plan: if you run, use your innate skill to attack; if you don't run, just keep at it until you bleed to death.
Suddenly.
Gu Ke leaped out and headed straight for Xiao Weiqing, blood splattering everywhere in the air.
"Flame Dragon!"
A fire dragon, tens of meters long, flew towards Gu Ke.
Boom!
The two collided, and the fire dragon engulfed Gu Ke.
"Cough...cough..."
Gu Ke knelt on the ground, unwilling to accept his fate. He was about to advance to the Great Demon realm, how could he fail here?
"Ah!~"
Gu Ke roared, ready to fight again.
A tiny fire owl, moving with incredible speed, flew rapidly toward Gu Ke.
Gu Ke's pupils contracted sharply. If he hadn't been injured, he would have been able to dodge, but now, he couldn't even turn around.
"Pfft~~"
Fire Owl easily pierced Gu Ke's head, releasing a burnt smell.
bang~
His body fell to the ground, and he remained silent.
"Phew!"
Xiao Weiqing breathed a sigh of relief. This was the strongest opponent he had ever encountered. If the opponent hadn't been careless, he would have had to run away first.
"Is this medal still useful since it's only half left?"
Looking at the medal in his hand, Xiao Weiqing felt like crying but had no tears.
"Go back first, I won't come here tomorrow."
night.
The same location.
"Your injury hasn't healed yet?"
Xiao Weiqing was quite surprised to see Xue Cheng still wrapped in bandages. Logically speaking, a fracture should be easily treated with a level 2 healing pill. If there was no pill, it was impossible for the Xue family to enter the demon realm without medical support personnel.
"Don't ask, you're injured again."
Xue Cheng was also a little puzzled as to why this bull demon specifically targeted his arm.
"The same location?" Xiao Weiqing almost laughed.
Xue Cheng nodded helplessly, "Mm."
"Laugh if you want to."
Xiao Weiqing grinned and said, "No, I wasn't laughing at you."
Xue Cheng: "..."
You clearly haven't stopped.
At this time.
He gave a low shout, his tone tinged with disappointment.
"waste!"
Xiao Weiqing knew it was Xue Yuan without even turning around.
"Uncle Nineteen."
"Hello, Uncle Xue."
"Um."
Upon seeing Xue Yuan arrive.
Xiao Weiqing took out Gu Ke's medal. "Uncle Xue, this medal is only half left. Can it still be exchanged for contribution points?"
Xue Yuan's eyes narrowed when he saw the half-medal in Xiao Weiqing's hand, but he did not answer.
Instead, they asked, "Where did you get this?"
Xiao Weiqing said, "Today we killed a bull demon wearing armor; this is what he had on him."
Xue Yuan took half of the medal in his hand and felt it.
suddenly.
Xue Yuan opened his eyes, his gaze intense. "It's actually a bull demon who has cultivated to the point of true form."
"Xiao Weiqing, what is your current strength?"
"Four Realms?" Xue Yuan guessed, then dismissed it, "Impossible!"
"You passed all three levels?"
Xiao Weiqing asked weakly, "Can't it be the second realm?"
Xue Yuan squinted. "Do you think I'm stupid? This bull demon is almost a great demon, equivalent to the fifth realm in our human realm."
Faced with Xue Yuan's gaze, Xiao Weiqing had no choice but to admit, "I just broke through the Tail Gate before entering the Demon Realm."
"Holy crap?"
Holy crap!
Xue Cheng was dumbfounded. What did he hear? Xiao Weiqing had broken through the Tail Pass?
Is this the third realm?
"Useless! Look at other people."
Xue Yuan shouted at Xue Cheng again.
He then looked at Xiao Weiqing with disbelief in his eyes.
"Ning Xing, even in your youth, you weren't as good as me!"
"How can I compare to the teacher?" Xiao Weiqing quickly denied.
"No, among the younger generation I know, none are more outstanding than you."
"Xiao Weiqing, remember, no matter where you are in the future, try not to put yourself in danger. Staying alive is more important than anything else. If you die prematurely, it will be a loss for Blue Star."
Xiao Weiqing nodded, "I know, Uncle Xue, I'm someone who values my life."
"Yes, I heard Xue Cheng say that your extraordinary talent is true art. You are destined to awaken a second time in the future, and your extraordinary talent will also be upgraded. Don't do anything risky. If you lack resources, go to Ning Xing. That old scoundrel has a lot of good stuff. If you don't have any, let him go and steal them."
"Am I destined for a second awakening? Will my extraordinary talent also upgrade?"
"Uncle Xue, why do you say that?"
Xue Yuan frowned: "Didn't Ning Xing tell you?"
Xiao Weiqing shook his head.
"That bastard is misleading the younger generation."
Xue Yuan pondered for a moment, then said slowly, "Have you heard the saying that extraordinary talent can advance one level upon encountering a true master?"
"Um."
Xiao Weiqing had heard Jiang Peng and others mention it when he first awakened.
"True techniques have three main characteristics: first, they are unique to one person with extraordinary talent; second, they can almost all be awakened a second time; and third, during the second awakening, there is a high probability that the extraordinary talent can be upgraded."
"So, you'll advance one level if you encounter a real person."
"I see. But Uncle Xue, I've heard many people say that a second awakening is very difficult, and there are countless geniuses who are stuck at the fourth realm."
Xue Cheng nodded, "That's right, but that doesn't include you, or people like you."
Why?
Xiao Weiqing humbly sought advice.
Xue Yuan said, "First, you need to understand what a second awakening is."
"After awakening, extraordinary cultivators open their Divine Gate and enter the initial realm. Opening their Dantian allows them to enter the second realm. Breaking through the three barriers allows them to enter the third realm and form a spiritual vein, which is the fourth realm."
"However, once the spiritual energy of the fourth realm is liquefied, it is difficult to achieve a qualitative improvement in strength."
"When you reach the end of your cultivation, your spiritual energy will overflow when it's full, but you'll find that you can't break through to the next level."
"People with strong mental strength will find that their soul is suppressed, as if they are in a bubble and cannot reach the barrier."
"At this point, a large amount of divine essence needs to be absorbed to help the soul break through this barrier and achieve a leap in life, which we call the second awakening."
"After reaching the fifth realm, we will no longer be mortals. Our lifespan will increase, we will be able to communicate with the spiritual energy of the world, and we will truly be able to command the wind and rain, with every move we make possessing immense power."
Xiao Weiqing nodded. "I see."
Xue Cheng echoed, "I see, so this is the second awakening."
"What's it to you? Shut up."
Xue Yuan glared at Xue Cheng and hissed.
Xue Cheng: "..."
"Nephew Weiqing, let's continue."
"Uncle, please speak."
Xue Cheng: "?"
Xue Yuan continued:
"As you know, there is a high probability that the second awakening will fail, or rather, very few people will succeed in the second awakening on their first attempt."
"Once you fail, the barrier that suppresses your soul will become even stronger. To awaken again, you will need to absorb several times the amount of divine essence. If you still fail, you will enter a vicious cycle, and eventually your soul will be trapped and you will never be able to awaken again."
"However, true techniques will not. Even if they fail, they will not have a significant impact on suppressing the soul barrier, and the amount of divine essence absorbed next time will not increase much."
Xiao Weiqing's eyes brightened. "I understand."
"Uncle, does that mean I can keep awakening a second time until I succeed?"
"Pretty much, provided you have enough Divine Essence."
"According to data records and the experience of countless predecessors, a small percentage of True Arts Awakenings succeed on the second attempt, while the majority succeed on the third attempt. Within three attempts, they can generally upgrade their extraordinary talent level."
"What about ordinary extraordinary talents?" Xue Cheng asked tentatively.
Xue Yuan frowned.
Xue Cheng shrank back, afraid of being scolded again.
