Chapter 266 Breaking through the 20th level of the extreme realm, basic strength two tons!
"The principles of swordsmanship, applied to spears?"
Li Xiaoyao looked at the broken sword that Lu Sheng had thrown away like trash on the ground, and then at the menacing Dragon Devouring Spear, and his beard stood on end in anger.
"Vulgar! Absolutely an insult to civility!"
The old man pointed at Lu Sheng's nose and cursed, "A sword is a gentleman's weapon, meant to be light, elegant, and capable of breaking through all defenses with a single strike. Your firewood stick... that's something only a brute would use!"
"What's wrong with being a brute?"
Lu Sheng gripped the butt of the gun with one hand and casually twirled it.
The heavy gun tore through the air with a whooshing sound, creating a gust of wind that messed up Li Xiaoyao's hair.
"A weapon that can kill is a good weapon." Lu Sheng's eyes were sharp. "Besides, old man, do you think it's appropriate for someone of my physique to be gesturing with a needle?"
Li Xiaoyao choked for a moment.
indeed.
This kid possesses the bloodline of a true dragon, and his physical strength is close to a hundred tons. Asking him to learn that kind of sword technique that "weaves through flowers and trees" is like asking a Tyrannosaurus Rex to embroider flowers; the image is too beautiful to bear.
"Forget it, forget it!" Li Xiaoyao waved his hand listlessly. "You chose this path yourself. Don't blame me if you get a stroke while practicing."
"However..." The old man changed his tone, his expression becoming serious, "Although the weapons are different, the principles are the same. What I will teach you is not the moves, but the intention."
"Intention is the unity of essence, energy, and spirit; it is the extension of the soul."
"Whether you use a sword or a gun, if you cannot give a weapon a soul, it will always be just an ordinary weapon."
For the next two weeks, there was no peace on Daozi Peak.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A tremendous roar, like thunder striking the ground, continued day and night.
Lu Sheng did not practice any fancy marksmanship techniques.
He only practiced one move—the thrust.
The simplest, most direct, and also the most tedious straight thrust.
With each thrust of the gun, he mobilized all the muscles in his body, channeling the Dragon God sequence pressure, the dual elemental spiritual energy of metal and fire, and his ambition to pierce the heavens into a single point on the tip of the gun.
Ten thousand times.
One hundred thousand times.
Millions of times.
This kind of tedious repetition is enough to drive any restless genius crazy.
But Lu Sheng seemed to be possessed; even with his hands cracked and his body drenched in sweat, his eyes grew brighter and brighter.
Because he sensed it.
The once heavy Dragon Devouring Spear was slowly becoming an extension of his arm, a part of his body.
He could even hear a faint dragon's roar coming from inside the gun.
half a month later.
At the summit of Daozi Peak, the setting sun bleeds like blood.
Li Xiaoyao sat cross-legged on the bluestone, closing his eyes to rest, pondering how to extract more resources from the other elders to fill Lu Sheng's bottomless pit.
Sudden.
A chilling coldness, so intense it sent shivers down one's spine, enveloped the entire mountain peak without warning.
Li Xiaoyao suddenly opened his eyes.
Not far away, Lu Sheng stood with his eyes closed, holding a gun in one hand, as still as a pine tree.
There was no spiritual energy fluctuation from him, and even his breathing seemed to have stopped. But the air around him was violently distorted and trembling, like boiling water.
That's momentum.
A domineering aura that makes one feel superior to all under heaven and earth!
next second.
Lu Sheng made a move.
There was no charging up of power, no roar.
Just take a simple step forward, and then—
prick!
Om-! ! !
The moment the spear was thrust out, the world fell silent.
A dark golden spear light, like an ancient poisonous dragon emerging from the void, flashed by with a resolute determination to shatter the heavens, the earth, and the rules of the world!
Tear it apart!
A pitch-black crack was torn open in the void a hundred meters ahead by this shot!
Although it lasted only a moment, the destructive aura made Li Xiaoyao's heart skip a beat.
"Clang—!!!"
Just then, a shrill and terrifying sword cry suddenly rang out from Li Xiaoyao's dantian.
That was his natal flying sword!
This top-grade spiritual sword, nurtured for hundreds of years and already imbued with sentience, unexpectedly flew out on its own, hovering above Li Xiaoyao's head and emitting a series of buzzing sounds in the direction of Lu Sheng.
That was... fear?
Or did it encounter a demonstration by its natural enemy?
Li Xiaoyao stared blankly at the scene, then looked at Lu Sheng, who was slowly putting away his gun and had a calm expression. His throat felt dry, as if he had swallowed a handful of sand.
"This...this is the nascent form of spear intent?"
"No... this is... a world-destroying madness that chewed up my carefree sword intent and spat it out!"
His spear technique was beginning to take shape, but this was only the beginning.
There are only three days left until the start of the "Battle for the Road".
The concentration of spiritual energy at the summit of Daozi Peak has become so dense that one cannot see their own hand in front of their face.
Li Xiaoyao stood by the spiritual spring, looking at the stone in his hand, now only the size of a fingernail, radiating a seven-colored hazy light, and his face showed an expression more painful than if he had cut off his own flesh.
"The Enlightenment Stone..."
"This is something I risked my life to retrieve from the Kunlun Holy Land back then. I originally planned to keep it for when I broke through to the Spirit Emperor Realm..."
The old man's hands were trembling, but after glancing at Lu Sheng, who was sitting cross-legged in the center of the spiritual spring and was in the critical period of breakthrough, he finally gritted his teeth.
"Forget it! You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub!"
"If this kid can really crush the geniuses of those two holy lands in the competition, then my investment will have paid off!"
Snapped.
With a flick of his finger, the priceless Enlightenment Stone transformed into a cloud of seven-colored powder, which scattered and fell into the spiritual spring.
boom!
The once calm spring instantly boiled.
An extremely profound and mysterious Dao rhythm flowed wildly into Lu Sheng's body through his pores.
[Ding! Fragment of a higher-dimensional law (Enlightenment matter) detected!]
[Dragon God Sequence operating at full power!]
[Beginning deep integration of all of the host's current power systems...]
Lu Sheng's consciousness sank into a state of chaos.
In this chaos, he saw all that he had accumulated over the past month.
A powerful physique tempered by dragon blood, resilient bones honed by a hundred times the force of gravity, internal organs baptized by the earth's core fire veins, and that newly comprehended domineering spear intent...
All of this began to undergo a wondrous chemical reaction under the catalysis of the Enlightenment Stone.
Just like countless rushing streams, they finally converge into a mighty river.
Rumble—!
The spiritual core within Lu Sheng's body began to rotate, compress, and undergo qualitative change at an alarming speed.
His level started to skyrocket!
Level 13... Level 15...
There are no bottlenecks; it's as easy as drinking water.
Level 18... Level 19...
until--
boom!!!
A dazzling golden light shot out from Lu Sheng's crown, shattering the clouds above Daozi Peak.
[Ding! Promotion successful!]
[Current Level: 20 (Spirit Apprentice Ultimate)!]
[Physical reconstruction complete!]
Lu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes.
In that instant, two beams of golden light, as solid as metal, shot out three feet, igniting even the air.
On the retina, a brand-new data panel appeared, so dazzling it was almost blinding.
[Host: Lu Sheng]
[Level: 20 (Extreme Spirit Apprentice) (0/)]
[Five Internal Organs Golden Body: Level V (Perfect)]
【Dragon Bone/Dragon Muscle: Grade V (Perfect)】
[Six Treasures: Level IV]
[Basic strength: 400000 jin (200 tons)!]
[Normal speed: 600 meters per second (nearly twice the speed of sound)!]
[Overall Assessment: Your normal combat strength already surpasses that of a level 25 Spirit Master; in your human-dragon form, you can easily kill a level 30 Spirit Master; if you activate your dragon form... congratulations, you have already qualified to threaten a mid-level Spirit Master (level 35)!]
"200 tons..."
Lu Sheng clenched his fist, feeling the terrifying power in his palm that seemed capable of crushing the void.
This is only the basic strength.
If you add the spear intent, plus the various amplifications from the Dragon God sequence...
"I should be able to kill my past self from a month ago with one punch now, right?" Lu Sheng's lips curled into a cruel smile.
