After several rounds of expansion, the area of the physical training room has more than tripled compared to when the stronghold was newly built.
In a newly opened open area in the corner of the training room, Gao Yuanzheng stood quietly with his eyes slightly closed, naked.
After a moment, his eyes suddenly opened, and with the qi and blood in his body surging, the surface of his skin was quickly covered by a layer of blood that was as blazing as a flame.
At the same time, his body also started to move.
Turn sideways, close your hips, open your knees, move your palms, close your fists...
The whole set of movements was like flowing clouds and water, completed in one go, and an exquisite starting movement was instantly performed.
All the muscles in his body were tense and contracted, and his veins were bulging like earthworms.
Especially his right arm, which was more than twice as thick as usual. The blood on his clenched right fist condensed, projecting an astonishing wave of energy.
"ha!"
Just hearing a loud shout from his mouth, his right fist that was originally held at the side of his chest suddenly shot forward.
Following his movements, a blood-colored fist shadow about the size of a foot shot out from the front of his fist.
After flying forward a few feet, it exploded violently with a dull sound of air explosion.
After punching out, Gao Yuan's movements didn't stop at all.
Close the fist, advance, lower the shoulders, punch...
A whole set of movements cycled rapidly, and he quickly performed a set of amazing punches.
Following his movements, bloody fist shadows flew out one after another, and deafening air explosions exploded in the empty training room one after another.
After the last move was completed, Gao Yuan slowly lowered his stance with some lingering thoughts.
"Huh, although I don't really like the close-to-hand fighting style, it's still very enjoyable to follow the boxing rules of "Shaking Sky Fist"!"
After muttering to himself in a low voice, he directly opened the system panel. As expected, "Shaking Sky Fist" has been entered into the skill column by the system, and there are also corresponding information updates in the 'Analysis' and 'Deduction' pages.
"Well, it was actually directly recognized by the system as a second-level advanced skill?"
"Tsk, you are worthy of being a member of the 'Flying Dragon City', you are carrying all the good things!"
Looking at the skill information on the 'deduction' panel, Gao Yuan suddenly muttered to himself in surprise.
Then he directly used the system's 'analysis' function to quickly improve the proficiency level of "Shaking Sky Fist".
[The analysis of Shaking Heaven Fist is successful, your proficiency in Shaking Heaven Fist has been raised to proficiency level!]
…
[The analysis of Shaking Heaven Fist is successful, your proficiency in Shaking Heaven Fist has been raised to mastery level!]
After the system prompts flashed one after another, a huge flow of information suddenly appeared in his mind out of thin air. After he completely absorbed it, his understanding of this body-training martial art instantly deepened.
After standing there and comprehending it carefully for a while, he suddenly turned sideways, and without even seeing how hard he gathered his strength, he punched out.
So much so that there was no obvious abnormality on the surface of his fist, and only an almost transparent shadow of the fist could be vaguely seen.
However, after he punched out, along with an illusory buzz, the void in front of him trembled as violently as the water surface.
"This explosive power is indeed as described in the jade slip, far exceeding that of spells of the same level!"
Although he only hit the air, Gao Yuan could still roughly sense the destructive power of this punch through the power of his spiritual thoughts.
"The only flaw is the killing range. Even compared with the instant spells in the 'Heart Spell' mode, there is a huge gap!"
"However, this is also a common problem with the body-refining route, and it is not a problem with the martial arts itself."
"What's more, after reaching the master level of proficiency, you can use "Shaking Sky Fist" more freely, and you no longer just rely on your fists when performing it!"
"As long as I want to, almost every part of my body can be used to attack."
As his mind wandered, he raised his right foot and then stamped it down hard.
"boom!"
Following his movements, the already compressed and solid steel ground beneath his feet shook violently.
Following the violent vibrations under his feet, countless radial cracks several meters deep suddenly opened on the ground, centered on his right foot.
At the same time, the entire facility in the physical training room shook.
In the swirling dust, a bottle of Body Refining Pill placed on the table more than ten meters away was bounced several inches and shattered to the ground with a "pop" sound.
"Tsk, if you encounter an opponent who can escape and give him such a surprise kick on the head, you won't be able to shock him to death?"
With a soft sigh, Gao Yuan ignored the messy ground in the physical training room and turned around to the stone chair not far away.
He picked up a few body refining pills scattered on the ground, then sat on the stone chair, took out the jade slip with the "Finger of Nirvana" written on it, and began to contemplate it quietly with his spiritual thoughts.
…
In line with the idea of having more skills than being overwhelmed, even though Gao Yuan never liked to fight in close combat with the enemy, he still took time to study the skills captured from the bald man.
In just two days, except for the "Beast God Totem Technique" because it involves refining the blood crystal of the origin of monsters, he has not had time to practice it yet.
Skills such as "Tianshaking Fist", "Finger of Nirvana", "Thunder Palm", "Phantom Body Technique", etc. were all mastered by him one after another.
With the help of the system's 'analysis' function, after initially mastering these skills, he upgraded his proficiency to the master level one by one, thus truly achieving mastery.
In the evening, at the quarter of Xu.
After washing up, Gao Yuan lay down on the leisure chair in the lounge, put on his mask and entered the exile's space.
Today is the day the exclusive trading area is open.
At this time, there were already many flashing transmission notes gathered in the exclusive secret room. After he appeared, they all gathered around spontaneously.
He was not surprised by this. After sorting out the scattered items in his inventory, he consigned them all to the alliance trading area.
Therefore, in the past few days, every time he entered the exclusive space, he could see many transmission symbols prompting transaction information.
After the explorer clicked on them one by one, as expected, these transmission symbols were all notification messages reminding him that the consignment items were successfully sold.
When the content of the last transmission note disappeared from his mind, Gao Yuan quickly opened the personal identity panel:
[Permission]: Xuan level
[Alliance Contribution Points]: 150
[Storage of spiritual stones]: 1,035,967 intermediate spiritual stones
[Transaction Information]: Expandable
[Task information]: Expandable
As various items in the backlog of inventory continued to be sold, the total amount of spiritual stones he stored in the Exile Alliance also increased.
Especially after those large-capacity storage instruments were sold one after another, his spiritual stone net worth finally exceeded one million!
"I hope I can gain something today!"
Muttering to himself, Gao Yuan stepped into the light door with black light flowing in the corner.
…
early morning.
After breakfast, Gao Yuan practiced the "Blood Jade Skill" as usual.
After completing the entire set of movements with the cooperation of his mind, he felt the blood in his body surge, and his whole body was filled with an indescribable sense of comfort.
Five days have passed since he returned from 'Sunset Canyon', and his life has returned to the state of seclusion before starting the 'Whip Holder' trial.
And as time went by, his cultivation also continued to improve.
Today, whether it is true energy or physical training, they are gradually approaching the edge of breakthrough.
Especially the latter, thanks to the tempering and enhancement of his internal organs, his physical strength has continued to break through on the original basis.
Every time he looked inside with his spiritual mind, he could clearly 'see' the subtle changes in his body as the intensity increased.
In addition to the increasingly powerful internal organs, even the flesh and bones of the whole body were faintly covered with a layer of fluorescence at this moment.
This is a manifestation of the physical body breaking through the shackles of nature and constantly breaking through and becoming stronger.
Especially after mastering several physical training martial arts, he became more and more confident in his own strength.
And his views on close combat were also quietly changing.
From the initial resistance and rejection, it slowly transformed into a state of eagerness to try.
In the past few days, his mind would often recall the embarrassing scene when he was attacked at close range by the bald man during the battle at Sunset Canyon a few days ago.
"Compared with slow-casting spells, body-refining martial arts have unique advantages in terms of single-point explosive power and shooting speed. In this regard, even the quick-cast spells in the 'Heart Spell' mode cannot compare."
"Once a body-refining cultivator is allowed to get close to them, unless they are protected by a secret treasure, most of them will probably be hunted down like me, right?"
He whispered a few words to himself, but then he thought about it and quickly rejected the idea:
"No, when I wanted to train my body, I just wanted to increase my ability to protect myself!"
"Although body-refining martial arts are overbearing, they still require you to put yourself in danger. It's enough to deal with ordinary people. Once you encounter a difficult target, it will be difficult to escape!"
"Well, anyway, I have many attack methods, and I have the 'Heart Spell' mode to cooperate with me. I can just leave the attack and killing to the spells and talismans!"
With his mind spinning, Gao Yuan walked towards the lounge.
After washing up, he came to the weapon refining workshop feeling refreshed.
After previous high-priced exchanges in the exclusive trading area, coupled with the material collection tasks released in the mission area in the past few days, as of last night, he finally gathered all the materials for refining the 'Soul Seal'.
Sitting cross-legged on the sofa in front of the workbench, with a thought in his mind, a pile of materials were neatly stacked on the workbench under his guidance.
After taking out the jade slip that recorded the refining method of the 'Soul-Suppressing Seal', Gao Yuan penetrated his mind and studied it carefully for a while.
Then with a thought in his mind, several pieces of ore that had been weighed and cut according to proportions floated into the air, quietly suspended in mid-air less than two feet away from the workbench.
Seeing this, he cast a spell with no expression on his face, and with a "pop" sound, the blue 'Spirit Fusion True Flame' emerged.
The flames rolled around and quickly enveloped all the ores suspended in mid-air.
With many years of experience in refining weapon embryos, coupled with the master-level soul-melting true flame that has reached the second level, he is not too worried even if this time he is refining a brand-new weapon embryo formula.
Under his control, these ores became extremely obedient, and in just ten minutes, they were perfectly smelted together by him.
He casually glanced at the piece of utensil embryo in front of him that was still warm and observed the natural texture and color on its surface. A trace of satisfaction suddenly appeared on his face.
The best embryo!
After a slight pause, he once again used his spiritual thoughts to start a new round of refining.
Under his guidance, several other ores floated up again, and were once again wrapped in the 'Spirit Fusion True Flame'.
·
After more than an hour, the various ores that originally covered the table finally turned into six well-proportioned sized embryos.
Putting away the excess ore, Gao Yuan waved his hand casually, and the various debris remaining on the work surface was swept away by the whirlwind generated out of thin air into the trash can nearby.
"After the smelting of the weapon embryo is completed, the next step is the more important step of imprinting the talisman array!"
After muttering to himself in a low voice, he took out the jade slip again and carefully compared it with the information in his mind.
According to the records in the jade slips, there are seventeen kinds of talisman formations totaling thirty-nine within the ‘Soul-Suppressing Seal’.
In order to successfully refine it, the thirty-nine talisman arrays must be accurately imprinted into the six embryos according to the plan on the drawing.
During this period, no mistakes can be made in every link, otherwise it will affect the final quality of the magic weapon, or even cause the embryo to be scrapped, causing the refining to fail!
"Fortunately, I was lucky this time. The smelted weapon embryos are enough to be refined twice. Before the formal refining, I can fully increase the proficiency of these talisman arrays!"
After muttering to himself in a low voice, Gao Yuan thought, and a piece of 'True Essence-Soul Energy Converter Embryon' weighing just over ten kilograms quickly floated in front of him.
According to the records in the jade slips, he found out his spiritual thoughts, wrapped them with a certain amount of true energy, and quickly smelted and transformed them for a while, and finally condensed into a solid true energy sword. In this embryo
The intrusion and inscriptions were made bit by bit on it.
·
More than an hour passed. He did not worry about the loss of the embryo and drew each of the seventeen talisman arrays required for the 'Soul Seal' on the embryo.
"Unfortunately, although the proficiency of these talisman formations can be improved through 'analysis', they cannot be promoted using 'deduction'."
Looking at the row of talisman array options on the 'Deduction' panel, each with the words 'Insufficient conditions, cannot be deduced yet', Gao Yuan muttered to himself helplessly.
This is not the first time this has happened. In fact, this prompt will appear in all his conjuration skills after nine deductions.
"It seems that the required conditions are beyond my current level. If I want to deduce it again, I'm afraid I have to wait until I advance to the Hunyuan Realm!"
"But as long as 'analysis' can be used, after improving the imprinting skills of these talisman arrays to the master level, I should not make any mistakes in imprinting a single talisman array!"
"The only thing we need to pay attention to now is the gap between adjacent talisman arrays. It should not affect the transmission and response between the associated talisman arrays too much, and it should not be too small to affect the normal operation of each other!"
"As long as we do this well, it will be a sure thing to refine the 'superior' quality 'Soul Seal'!"
As his mind turned, Gao Yuan quickly adjusted his mentality, then picked up a brand new artifact and imprinted it calmly and orderly with the True Essence Knife.
…
At noon.
Gao Yuan slowly withdrew the power of his true essence, and after the rolling 'spiritual true flame' subsided on its own, the appearance of a black and blue bronze seal gradually appeared.
This seal is generally square in shape, and is covered with faintly visible dense lines.
The top of the jade slip was carved into an unknown alien beast with a majestic head and horns according to the plan in the jade slip, and the printed surface was a strange symbol full of ancient charm.
Because the 'big and small transformation' talisman array inside it has not yet been activated, this copper seal is still a huge thing with a circumference of more than one foot and weighing hundreds of kilograms.
"I'm lucky. All aspects of this refining went perfectly, and I finally refined the top-grade 'Soul Seal'!"
After looking at it intently for a while, Gao Yuan nodded with satisfaction.
Then with a thought in his mind, this huge copper seal gently landed on the work surface under the guidance of his spiritual thoughts.
He put his hand on the back of the strange beast on top, and a cold feeling suddenly came from his fingertips.
He didn't care about this, and quickly refined it with his true energy.
After a moment, Gao Yuan retracted his right hand and quickly cast a spell.
As he moved, he saw the spiritual light on the surface of the 'Soul Seal' vibrating, flying up from the work surface with a 'buzz' sound, and hovering above his head.
I could see the light of the ancient symbol flowing on the seal surface, and gray halos hanging down from its surface, spontaneously forming a layer of gray light curtain, tightly covering his body below.
From this gray light curtain, Gao Yuan felt a strange energy fluctuation, lingering around his body like water waves.
Affected by it, he found that his originally excited mood due to the successful refining quickly calmed down, and his whole body and mind entered an indescribable and ethereal state.
"Is this the passive effect of the ultimate divine soul defense weapon? It is indeed magical!"
After muttering to himself in a low voice, Gao Yuan pointed out again and at the same time increased the output power of the true energy.
Following his movements, the surface of the 'Soul Seal' suddenly became luminous and began to operate at full strength.
At the same time, the originally illusory gray halo quickly transformed into a layer of solid gray light, forming an unusually solid gray barrier around him.
"With the 'Soul Suppressing Seal', which is a top-grade magic weapon, and the 'Guardian Shield' activated by the above-grade spiritual stones, my defense against the soul is even more stable!"
"Well, the production cost of a 'Soul Seal' is only 20,000 intermediate spirit stones. Before there is a better substitute, you might as well make a few more and take them with you. Even if you face someone who specializes in spirit attacks,
I can also have enough counterattack against my opponent!"
As his mind turned, Gao Yuan once again created a magic formula.
Following his movements, the light on the surface of the 'Soul Seal' suddenly converged.
Its size also shrank rapidly, and in the blink of an eye it was reduced to the size of a palm, which he easily put into his storage bag.
