MTL - Cataclysm King-Chapter 225 Legendary Demigod

Chapter 225 Legendary Demigod

“The secret method of “Gluttony” is the exclusive secret method of the [Ace of Clubs-Fighter] sequence. To truly master the secret method of gluttony, you must first understand what ‘qi’ is and how to control it.”

 “Please give me advice from my seniors.”

"You've gone astray. Forget about those fancy skills first, and concentrate on understanding the mysteries of Qigong. In front of a real master, no matter how many skills you have, it's meaningless. Just like building a tall building, you must first cultivate Qi, then you will have A good foundation. Rather than just having some fancy-looking ground-level building that collapses at first touch.”

 “Yes, senior.”

“The best thing about magic and mysticism is that you can understand it yourself, that is the most suitable one. It is a pity that the original copper plate of “Gluttony” has been lost. What I can convey is only the part I understand.”

ˆ “.”

 In the dark mine, two figures sat on the ground.

While other people in Shangbang Prison were still nibbling hard bread, Ji Xun and the skinny old man were already able to eat all kinds of delicacies.

Ji Xun originally thought that the follow-up to the "Gluttony" breathing method was just some formulas, but after listening to it, he realized that he was wrong.

The practice of the Fifty-Two Magic Mysteries is not that simple.

The further you get to the back, the more mysterious it becomes and the more profound understanding it requires.

The previous formulas are just an introduction.

Ji Xun was also glad that he came to find this senior in person.

 Otherwise, even if those formulas are placed in front of him, it will be extremely difficult for him to practice them successfully, and he may even take detours in practice.

 After all, the magical mysteries all involve the power of the devil.

 Without an understanding of the sequence of demons, it is difficult to truly understand the mysteries of those formulas.

Ji Xun was not so impressed after receiving the approval of this mysterious senior.

 Not only can we drink together, but we can also eat hot pot and chat.

 The old man does not have the airs of a peerless master. When he is not showing off his extraordinary abilities, Chun Chun is just an ordinary old man.

 Just waking up from deep meditation, like a bear waking up after hibernation, the old man also needs to replenish energy.

The two of them were eating hot food and talking at the same time.

 “Let’s start with the basics first”

The old man put a mouthful of well-stewed rhinoceros meat into his mouth and took another sip of wine. "Now that you are getting started with [Youshenzhang], you should know the concept of 'qi control'. You must first master the skills of controlling qi, and then Learn other things. Don’t try to figure out those fancy martial arts moves on the rock wall. If you haven’t reached a certain level, you can’t even understand them. Even if you understand a little bit, you will 100% practice like those deformed lunatics. "

"Um!"

Ji Xun listened very carefully and nodded frequently.

Had he not met this person, his original plan was to take away those slates and then study them bit by bit on his own.

　Now that I heard it, I already understood that I almost went the wrong way.

 He had actually noticed that he was in a very strange state during the battle.

 It seems that no matter how many martial arts you learn, you can't get much improvement in combat power.

Just like when he knew the secret skill [Two Extremes Collapse], he could kill enemies of the same level with one punch. Later, after he learned other secret martial arts skills such as [Tiger Cannon Fist], he could only do this. degree;

 So much so that he felt that even if he learned a hundred more secrets, he still wouldn't be able to break through this predicament.

Having only two fists, he can only throw one or two punches at the same time. No matter how many profound martial arts skills he has, they will really look fancy.

 There is quantity, but there is no qualitative improvement.

 But I don’t know how to break the situation.

 You can only explore blindly by yourself.

 Now, I met this person.

 This is the advantage of having a real expert to guide him, which allows him to avoid too many detours and mistakes.

 The advantage of having someone to teach you is that it is not only “teaching through words” but also “teaching by example”.

After the old man pointed, he put down the wine bottle with his left hand, then stretched out a finger and demonstrated: "It's like this. You learn to change the 'Qi' into a shape. Spiral Qi is the most difficult, you first You can try 'column' or 'blade', step by step."

As he spoke, a magical scene took place.

The old man's fingers visibly condensed into a cyclone, and then spun like a miniature tornado.

Not only does it not scatter, but it can also change the size and shape of the tornado at will.

"Huh"

Ji Xun’s eyes lit up when he saw it.

 This was also the first time he had seen such a sophisticated method of controlling energy.

 So close that I could clearly feel the wind blowing on my face.

This small tornado does not look very powerful, but only high-level qigong masters can understand how difficult this little dazzling skill is!

 So strong.

While marveling, Ji Xun watched with concentration, already immersed in that state of understanding.

His current understanding is very high, and he has a certain understanding of "Qi".

When I saw this cyclone and tornado, a sudden flash of inspiration came to my mind, as if something was faintly touching it.

 That’s what epiphany is.

Like a sky filled with thunderclouds, a thunder suddenly flashed across.

 But it disappeared in an instant.

 He remained in that state for a long time.

The old man demonstrated, and looked at Ji Xun's immersed state with admiration. He also warned: "This is a skill that takes a lot of time to ponder. But it is worth it. As long as the foundation is solid, the follow-up will be successful." You will get twice the result with half the effort when you learn any spell and martial arts. It took me all my time to master the secret technique of 'qi control' when I was young."

It took "nearly a year" to finish that sentence.

Ji Xun didn't care about anything else at all, fearing that the vague realization he was about to grasp would slip away, so he quickly asked: "Senior, can you please demonstrate it again?"

"oh?"

 The old man smiled. Since he was teaching with peace of mind, he naturally did not hesitate to demonstrate it again.

Hands out, this time the difficulty is even higher, five small tornadoes appear on each of the five fingers.

Since you want to see it, then look carefully!

 Using Qi to transform whirlpools, this is the top qigong skill that you can access at this level.

How many card masters have never been able to reach the threshold of high-level mysteries throughout their lives.

Gong Wu also understood Ji Xun's current state, just like when he saw his teacher demonstrate this move for the first time. Seeing the ultimate control of that kind of qigong master, I was shocked for a long time.

 This scene will be remembered for a lifetime.

 But he also wanted to say that this is a long-term process of enlightenment, so there is no need to rush.

However, before he could say anything, he heard Ji Xun say with excitement: "Senior, I feel like I understand a little bit!"

As soon as these words came out, the expression of Gong Wu, an old man who had lived for more than a hundred years, froze, and he thought in his heart: Got it?

He didn’t wait to recall what “understood” meant.

Looking at Ji Xun's slightly frowning expression, he seemed to think it was not that interesting.

 Then, with a surge of spell power, a demonic figure with a strange smile appeared on his back.

 An indescribable demonic aura swept through the mine.

Gong Wu looked at the old man's face and twitched inexplicably. He always felt that something was wrong: "."

He was not surprised that Ji Xun was able to solve the problem. After all, he had seen many geniuses in his life.

What he is curious about is, what series is this clown demon from?

 Not to mention I have seen it, I have never even heard of it.

 But this thought flashed across his mind, and what was even more shocking was yet to come.

 After the magic solution, the mark’s [Trickster] entry comprehension changed from +10 to +20, and the clown mask also comes with +5.

Ji Xun instantly entered a state of super enlightenment.

The realization that I felt was about to slip away just now was caught in my hand in an instant.

 Not just a feeling, but a real touch!

Ji Xun had no other thoughts but one thought.

At this moment, his eyes only reflected the cyclone on Gong Wu's fingers, and the thoughts in his heart seemed to disintegrate the process of condensing the cyclone.

 Then came the process of decomposition, and he clearly felt a layer of wind lingering on his palms.

 It was like learning to ride a self-study bike. At a certain moment, he suddenly felt the feeling of breaking the wind, and he mastered this skill without knowing it.

 At a certain moment,

 He caught the wind!

 “I really caught it!”

Ji Xun felt very realistically that he could catch the "wind" in his hand.

Instead of slipping away without a trace between the fingers like usual.

 The epiphany is still going on, and my thoughts are still racing.

 He tried to use his own Qi to control the wisp of wind like a "gentle silk scarf", which slowly gathered at the tips of his fingers.

Then

Twisted in a spiral shape.

At this moment, Ji Xun was completely immersed in this state of learning. He was completely unaware that the old man opposite was stunned when he saw this scene.

Gong Wu was amazed in his heart: "This kid actually has such an exaggerated understanding ability?"

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never believe that a new qigong master could master the key to spiral qi control after just one look?

Although the thin sweat on his forehead showed that Ji Xun had a hard time just touching a little bit of fur.

 But this is enough to shock Gong Wu, a great qigong master!

The raised arc on the face of the demon phantom seemed to be mocking what he just said.

 Fortunately, I spoke slowly just now.

 Otherwise, you would have to know that it took me nearly a year to master the Qi control technique.

Just.

After a moment of surprise, Gong Wu guessed some reasons, and then smiled with relief: "He has some skills in this career sequence."

 While smiling bitterly, he was even more pleased.

At this moment, Gong Wu knew that the young man in front of him could not be treated with common sense.

 To others, he really felt that even if he was willing to teach him his skills, others might not be able to learn them.

This one is different.

While he was thinking about it, Ji Xunzhong's breath disappeared within two seconds. He also said to himself at the same time: "Ah, it's a pity that it collapsed."

Gong Wu's expression was slightly strange, but in the end he just said lightly: "Yeah. It's already pretty good."

Ji Xun thought about the process of his failure and reflected on himself: "Ah, it is really difficult. If you want to keep the cyclone from collapsing, you will need to practice for at least several days."

Gong Wu’s white eyebrows jumped slightly: “.”

 The wine I was drinking suddenly didn’t smell so good.

Ji Xun exhaled slightly and did not try to practice condensed cyclone.

He could not stay on the seventh floor of the mine for long, so he cherished the time taught by this senior even more.

 Now that you have mastered the method, you can just practice it privately.

Thinking about learning more and better things.

Ji Xun asked directly: "Senior, I should be able to master this technique of condensing cyclones between my fingers in a few days. How about you teach me something else? I will practice it in private, and you can join me when I come tomorrow Guidance.”

He was indeed immersed in a state of enlightenment just now, but now that he has come back to his senses, he realizes that his previous performance may have been a bit shocking.

 But I didn’t feel anything bad.

 The last thing we need in front of such seniors is pretentious humility.

  But to show your learning ability so that your seniors can see it early and teach students in accordance with their aptitude.

Since you can learn by yourself and your seniors are willing to teach, then learn more.

Moreover, this is the Shangbang Prison under the jurisdiction of the Oran survivors. Ji Xun always felt that it would be safer to learn as much as possible.

 He never forgot that there was an epic entry of "The Bad Luck Gambler" hanging on his panel.

ˆ “.”

Gong Wu was speechless for a moment when he heard this.

According to normal thinking, Ji Xun would not be able to master the skill of "qi control" until at least a long time.

 In the meantime, I will gradually teach some other things.

 This is the normal rhythm.

Didn’t you expect that this guy would get the hang of it as soon as the clown demon appeared?

 To the old man, he felt like he was a tiger cub waiting for food in front of him. He was always hungry and needed more food.

But if it was as Ji Xun guessed, Gong Wu didn't think this was bad, but was even more relieved and looking forward to it.

  After all, he himself was once hailed as "the best martial arts genius in the world" by others.

 Genius should never be viewed through the eyes of ordinary people.

If you can reach the peak of martial arts just by practicing hard, then anyone can do it.

 But the fact is that climbing to the peak must be done by chance.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the phantom of the demon **** behind Ji Xun. Gong Wu knew that this was Ji Xun's big opportunity.

But an accident is an accident.

Teachers will never make students feel that learning is easy in the first class.

Gong Wu heard that Ji Xun wanted to learn more and thought: "Oh? I want to learn something else."

 I am interested in teaching and want to test Ji Xun’s limits.

As he spoke, the old man took another sip of wine, then spread his palms, "Okay, you can try this."

Ji Xun stared intently, and in a blink of an eye he saw the energy in the old man's palm condensed into a bird?

 “To turn birds into gas?”

 He looked at it to make sure he saw it correctly.

 Thinking about turning into a tornado or a bird, it shouldn’t be difficult.

As soon as this thought came to Ji Xun's mind, he realized in a blink of an eye that he was a frog in a well: Is this bird alive?

 The old man looked at his expression and was very satisfied.

With a slight shake of his hand, a magical scene immediately took place. That bird fluttered its wings and flew!

"this"

Ji Xun was dumbfounded.

 He watched helplessly as this senior condensed a bird with his energy.

But I can’t understand it at all. Such a bird is exactly like a living creature and can flap its wings and fly?

It feels like the teacher taught you to draw, and then drew a bird, and the bird flew out of the painting.

How to learn this?

 He asked with an incredulous expression: "Senior, do I want to condense this 'air bird'?"

If we say Cyclone, it is only difficult at the technical level.

Then this "bird" is completely incomprehensible.

Ji Xun had a vague feeling that this was a cursed spirit that only fourth-level card masters could come into contact with?

No!

 Perhaps higher.

 The cursed spirit that Ji Xun has seen.

 But there is no one quite like this bird, so vivid.

 The old man glanced at it and said disgustedly: "No, it's still early for you. What you have to do now is to catch it."

Ji Xun was relieved when he heard this.

 It turns out it’s not that I can’t understand it.

 But it should not be understood in the first place.

 But since he was catching a bird, he did not hesitate. He jumped up and caught the bird flapping in the air.

 I thought it would be a test like grabbing the belt before, but it turned out not to be?

"Huh?"

Just when Ji Xun was still wondering why it was so easy to catch the bird, he immediately noticed something as soon as he got the bird.

It's like pinching a balloon and popping it with a "pop".

Ji Xun landed, looked at his empty palms, frowned, and instantly realized what the old man wanted him to grab.

 Very difficult.

 It will break when touched. You need to use your own Qi to control the "Qi" and prevent it from deforming.

 Just thinking about the difficulty made Ji Xun frown.

 Have no clue at all.

The old man looked at Ji Xun's sad face, and the wine in his hand was fragrant again. He said faintly: "It's normal if you can't catch it. Once you are fully proficient in using Qi to transform whirlpools, you should be able to get started. Practice hard. "

Ji Xun nodded, "Yes, senior"

 You are deliberately making things difficult for me, right?

Even though they didn't get along for long, he also discovered that this old man's expert demeanor was often not visible, and it was true that he was a bit sinister.

But it’s really easy to get along with.

 The old man knew that the question he had asked was a bit difficult, so he encouraged him again: "It's not bad. From what I've seen in my life, you are the second person whose talent amazes me."

　　　　???”

Ji Xun was unlikely to be frustrated by this difficulty.

Now that you know the direction, if you practice more, you will definitely get the hang of it.

 There is still a little bit of confidence.

 He was more curious about the "second one".

It’s not that Ji Xun is arrogant and complacent, but he knows very well that now that he has the blessing of JOKER, is there anyone with this talent that is stronger than him?

 He asked directly: "What is the first one?"

At this question, the old man's eyes suddenly widened, as if he thought of something.

Ji Xun thought it was touching on some bad past events, so he was not prepared to ask any more questions.

Unexpectedly, after pondering for a moment, the old man spoke slowly: "When I was young, I had some success in martial arts due to my talent. I was complacent and made trouble everywhere. But that time, I encountered A guy of similar age, but he was completely defeated. That guy is a genius that I have seen back then that can be called a 'monster'."

The old man said, pointing to the scar on his right eye: "This scar was left by that guy."

As he spoke, a trace of recollection flashed through his deep eyes that had accumulated over the years, and he sighed: "This also spurred me on for the rest of my life. It always reminds me not to be arrogant and complacent. In the journey of martial arts, there is heaven, and there are people outside the world."

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun listened, and this was what he thought.

 This scar indeed has a special meaning.

The old man continued: "But unfortunately, after that time, I never saw him again. I can't even remember what that guy looked like. I still often wonder if I have ever really encountered such a monster. But this scar keeps reminding me that that guy really existed and he really forgot too many things when he got old."

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun is curious about who the "monster" is, but it can make such a great master feel troubled for a lifetime.

But hearing that this kind of forgetfulness probably happened hundreds of years ago, he didn't take it seriously.

I just know that the old man is also telling him what he said.

Ji Xun’s time has been enriched since the old man was willing to teach the secret technique.

Not only the secret method of "Gluttony", but also everything in martial arts practice.

As long as Ji Xun asks, the other party will answer patiently.

Coupled with the super comprehension brought by JOKER's magic solution, Ji Xun is like a sponge absorbing water, crazily absorbing all kinds of extraordinary knowledge.

 But Ji Xun couldn't stay on the seventh floor of the mine for too long.

 So every day I could only drink some wine and eat something with Gong Wu, and then return to the fourth floor to practice.

Focus on practicing various "qi control" secret techniques, reading various classics, feeling the repulsive force on [Angel Feathers], practicing "Inducing the Gods to Fall", and practicing the newly mastered "Gluttony" secret technique while meditating. There are also " Kongyue Shenxiang."

Ji Xun always feels that he doesn’t have enough time.

 But it has to be said that the extremely high spiritual pollution environment in this mine is really a perfect place for him to practice.

Those negative mental forces became a great boost to his practice, and his speed of enlightenment was countless times that of the outside world.

This allows Ji Xun to fall into a state of enlightenment from time to time, and he can learn and master skills very efficiently.

Even a legendary master like Gong Wu was amazed when he saw his changes day by day.

  Often it takes others months to learn skills that he can master in a few days;

 Some super-level knowledge that is difficult for ordinary people to understand is often easier for him to understand.

This also makes Gong Wu more comfortable to teach.

  After all, in the high-level realm of martial arts, many things require extremely high levels of understanding.

 As long as he is willing to teach, others will definitely be able to learn it.

Ji Xun was an exception.

 As long as he is willing to teach and is still at Ji Xun's level, this guy can learn it.

 Early or late.

 This made Gong Wu very happy.

 After observing for a few days, he also guessed the specialness of the clown demon.

Although initially when Gong Wu discovered that Ji Xun possessed several "Fifty-Two Demon God Forbidden Techniques", he felt that he was on the wrong track and should just concentrate on one.

 After all, human energy is limited.

If it is complex, it will inevitably be imprecise.

Moreover, in the eyes of a top powerhouse like him, every Demonic Forbidden Technique is worthy of a lifetime of study by a card master.

 To practice to the extreme, you don’t need so many fancy secret techniques at all.

But later I discovered that this guy was learning several secret arts at the same time, and he was able to do them all at the same time, and his understanding and practice were all pretty good!

Gong Wucai realized that Ji Xun's career sequence was different from the ordinary "Fifty-Two Demon God Sequence".

 His vision has seen things further away, and he no longer wants to persuade.

Nearly two months passed by like this.

Ji Xun's strength is completely different from before he came in.

 Seven levels of the mine.

  Ji Xun had a bird standing in his palm.

This is still the air bird transformed by the curse spirit.

Although Ji Xun can now hold it perfectly in his hand, there is a new test now.

The old man said that when he stopped the bird from flying out of his hand, he understood the true secret of "strength and energy".

Theoretically speaking, when a bird flies, its claws will kick on the ground, and the airflow will change. As long as the moment of force is captured.

 If this force is removed, the bird will not be able to fly.

 Just like in a battle, when the enemy's fist and blade touch the body, and the force is felt, it can be removed perfectly.

 This is one of the top techniques in Qigong fighting - Ting Jin'er.

 And this is also a stepping stone to higher martial arts.

 Once you have truly reached the top level, you will be able to take over all existences that can be called "qi and power" with your bare hands, even laws.

 But after trying many times, Ji Xun just moved his palm slightly, and the bird flapped its wings and flew away.

After countless failed attempts, he couldn't help but complain to the drunken old man not far away: "Senior, how could the bird not fly in my hand? You are not deliberately making things difficult for me, are you?"

Gong Wu also responded lazily: "I haven't mastered the trick. Who is to blame?"

The two of them have become very familiar with each other in the past two months.

 The two of them often joke and complain about each other.

Although the old man has a strange temper, he doesn't have the airs of a master.

Ji Xun is also never pretentious.

 The essence of the relationship is that of teaching and teaching, and the two of them are more like close friends.

Complaints are complaints, the old man really teaches things, and said: "If you really can't understand it, just find a copper bell and ring it to feel the vibration. The same is true for your [Two-pole Collapse]. You must at least create the four-gravity path. , you have mastered the strength. When you meet a truly top master, once you take action, the strength of your hand will penetrate wherever it touches. All the bells and whistles will only make you die faster. The foundation of martial arts is nothing more than strength. The word "Qi". When your realm reaches a high level, you will slowly come into contact with "Yi". That is something that requires opportunity to comprehend, so don't rush it."

"oh."

 This is solid information. Although Ji Xun's expression was still unconvinced, he listened very seriously in his heart.

 He could hear the mention of "meaning", and his mind arose again.

He comes to the seventh floor of the mine every day, and every time he sees the aberrant miners on the fifth and sixth floors who have mastered martial arts like crazy.

 Although I have seen them before, they are very powerful.

But after studying for more than a month in the past month and opening his eyes from real top qigong masters, he realized that those "crazy people" are really powerful.

 And it becomes increasingly unclear.

 The more you know, the more you will be in awe.

Although those miners are not of high rank, their understanding of "meaning" is very evil.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun was curious after all, and asked: "Senior, what exactly is 'intention'? Also, what kind of fist intention do you understand?"

I have asked him several times before, but Gong Wu ignored me.

There are some things that are beyond your reach, and it is not good to be exposed to them too early.

 But this time when he heard Ji Xun ask him about his fist intention, the old man seemed to be interested and glanced at him: "Me? Haha. Do you really want to see it?"

Ji Xun thought that vision was not very good, but he was indeed too curious.

Those lunatics have realized such a powerful "fighting spirit".

This senior has been practicing **** the seventh floor of the most polluted mine for so long. What has he learned?

Ji Xun had an intuition, which was definitely an extraordinary "boxing intention".

He heard that the old man seemed to really want to say what he wanted to say this time, so he nodded and asked expectantly: "Can I watch it?"

When the old man heard this, his eyes were like mist, and he seemed to be smiling but not smiling. He said deeply: "Well, let me show you the scenery at the top of the martial arts mountain in the world."

coming soon?

 After getting familiar with him, I also know that this old man can hide his strength, but if he really wants to show it, his character will not be modest.

Ji Xun felt a sense of awe in his heart when he heard this.

 He didn't have time to recall where that sense of awe came from.

Suddenly, like a demon coming, an indescribable aura swept over me like a mountain.

The skinny old man was still sitting there, but his aura was completely different now, and he was getting taller and taller.

Honestly, an indescribable aura of high status made Ji Xun's soul tremble.

At that moment, it was like seeing a god, and a sense of humility deep in the blood of the soul surged into my heart, making people immediately feel a sense of surrender as they fell down and knelt down in worship.

 For a moment of daze, Ji Xun suddenly realized.

 This is the old man's "boxing intention".

 “Dragon power? Divine power?”

Ji Xun is no stranger to the pressure of such high-ranking creatures. He immediately thought of the power of dragons and the pressure of the Weeping Angel.

 While feeling great terror, he immediately corrected himself in his mind: "No! This is the kind of high-level artistic conception that Master Merlin said!"

At this moment, Ji Xun finally realized how terrifying this old man had realized.

 Humans can have this kind of coercion

he.

He may be the realm where humans can possess the power of gods, which has only been recorded in myths and legends - the legendary demigod!

 This is what Master Merlin said, it may be a realm above the sixth level!

 Does this realm really exist?
