“Authority…”
Chen Sheng murmured softly, his eyes showing a thoughtful expression.
From the literal meaning.
Authority can be understood as the control and influence of a certain domain.
Chen Sheng thought of the special ability to communicate with the Water Spirit that came with the practice of Profound and True Martial Arts.
However…
As of now, although the Water Spirit can help Chen Sheng with many things, its response speed is not very fast.
On ordinary days, Chen Sheng can use this ability to help deal with corpses, or increase the humidity in the surroundings during training to improve training results.
In battle, the only help the Water Spirit can provide to Chen Sheng is to increase humidity and improve his physical attributes.
Moreover,
Since the number of Water Spirits that Chen Sheng can communicate and cooperate with is not many,
This level of humidity is far from being as good as the body enhancement during rainy days.
Therefore, this ability can only be considered better than nothing.
Chen Sheng has always treated it as a side benefit of practicing Profound and True Martial Arts.
But if, as the sheep-faced man said,
The Divine Beast Breathing Technique allows the user to have authority, Why is the authority of the Water Spirit he possesses not strong?
At least it is far from being as powerful as the other abilities brought by the Profound and True Martial Arts.
With this thought,
Chen Sheng looked at the sheep-faced man who was struggling due to the attack of the green airflow in his hand. About the Divine Beast Breathing Technique and the Holy Sect,
He has a lot of information he wants to know.
As for the sheep-faced man,
It’s not too late to dispose of him once he has asked everything he wants to know. So,
“Take it.”
Chen Sheng took out the wooden piece from his pocket again and handed it to the other party.
At this moment,
The sheep-faced man’s body was covered with countless wounds cut by the fierce wind.
Fresh blood seeped from the wounds, turning him into a bloodied person.
His consciousness was gradually blurring.
The sheep-faced man’s vision had also been stained red by the blood.
But even so,
When the green glowing wooden piece appeared before his eyes,
The desire to live that surged deep in his heart still made him unconsciously raise his hand and take the wooden piece from Chen Sheng’s hand.
Plop!
The sheep-faced man was directly thrown to the ground by Chen Sheng, but his face showed an expression of joy.
The fierce wind and thunder that tormented him every moment were finally isolated outside.
“Walk on your own.”
Chen Sheng carried his hands and walked along with the green airflow on his own.
The sheep-faced man didn’t want to be left behind.
Even in his peak state, he would die if he encountered Zhao Zhenfeng.
Not to mention his current half-crippled body.
Only by following Xuanwu closely would he have a glimmer of hope for survival.
so,
The sheep-faced man shook his head vigorously.
As he got up, he rubbed his hands against the bloody wounds on his body.
Bloodstreams quickly climbed onto his eyes.
For a moment,
Intense pain swept through his mind like a tidal wave,
Making the sheep-faced man’s originally heavy brain suddenly sober up.
“Thank… thank you, Lord Xuanwu!”
He didn’t forget Chen Sheng’s “lifesaving grace”
While expressing his gratitude thousands of times.
The sheep-faced man clenched his teeth and forced his powerless body to keep up with Chen Sheng’s pace,
Fearing that he would be left behind if he walked too slowly.
Five minutes later,
The group arrived at a new melting cave.
Chen Sheng looked at Shen Ziming on his shoulder.
The other party nodded gently.
The two of them were getting closer and closer to the distance from the Heavenly Person Seal Land.
Although they didn’t know how long it would take,
At least,
They were on the right track at the moment.
In these five minutes, they encountered several waves of green airflow.
Fortunately,
They haven’t encountered Zhao Zhenfeng.
Only occasionally when they entered some melting caves, they could see the collapsed and cracked ground and scattered limbs and flesh.
These were probably the results of Zhao Zhenfeng’s pursuit of the Holy Sect people.
The sheep-faced man silently followed Chen Sheng.
Looking at the broken bodies on the ground, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief in his heart.
Following Lord Xuanwu, at least he wouldn’t end up in such a miserable situation.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Arriving at a melting cave,
Chen Sheng, who was standing in the center of the airflow, could clearly feel the ground under his feet trembling slightly.
And there were rumbling noises coming from the distance.
The face of Chen Sheng behind the blank mask gradually became serious.
He could probably guess where these sounds came from.
It should be the noise of the battle when Zhao Zhenfeng chased and killed the people of the Holy Sect all the way.
During their journey, such movements had appeared three or four times.
Obviously,
Zhao Zhenfeng had also discovered the secret of the green airflow and was getting closer to the Heavenly Person Seal.
At this rate, Chen Sheng estimated that they would soon collide with Zhao Zhenfeng.
[Chen Sheng]
[Strength: 198 (28)]
[Agility: 197 (30)]
[Constitution: 218 (25)]
[Skill Column: Profound and True Martial Arts v3: 0/500000, Xuanwu
Transformation (Not Upgradeable)]
[Skill Points: 183]
The physical metamorphosis that broke through the third layer of Profound and True Martial Arts has not yet ended until now.
The powers that were once cultivated with the Eagle’s Breath and Rabbit’s Breath and hidden in the body are being excavated step by step, becoming Chen Sheng’s basic attributes.
One could say that Chen Sheng was growing stronger every second.
In addition, the humid environment in the melting cave increased Chen Sheng’s attributes by about a third.
Chen Sheng’s Agility and Constitution attributes were now around 270 points each.
As for Strength.
Due to the increase brought by the first stage of Xuanwu Transformation, Chen Sheng’s Strength attribute had risen by half again.
Chen Sheng’s Strength attribute had reached a terrifying 400 points.
However, this was not the full extent of Chen Sheng’s strength.
Chen Sheng had tested the specific abilities of Xuanwu Transformation briefly in the riverbed.
Although the arrival of Xiang Zeng and his companion forced him to stop.
Chen Sheng still figured out the general abilities of Xuanwu Transformation.
He temporarily classified it into three stages.
The first stage, increasing half of the Strength attribute.
This stage was the only one that Chen Sheng could maintain for a long time without side effects.
The second stage, doubling the Strength attribute.
In this stage, although strength would increase significantly, it would also put pressure on other organs in Chen Sheng’s body.
In this state, Chen Sheng could only maintain for about three minutes, and after exiting, he would feel noticeably weak.
As for the third stage, it was the current limit of Xuanwu Transformation’s Dower enhancement for Chen Shenc.
It could directly increase Chen Sheng’s strength by 1.5 times.
With the bonus of the humid environment,
Chen Sheng’s Strength attribute would reach a terrifying 600 points plus!
However,
Such a terrifying increase would also place a huge burden on the body.
According to Chen Sheng’s tests,
The extreme state of Xuanwu Transformation,
He could only maintain it for fifteen seconds at most.
If he couldn’t kill the enemy in fifteen seconds,
He would be the one to die.
Moreover, even if he did manage to kill the enemy, Chen Sheng’s muscles would be so overloaded that he would fall into a completely powerless state for a short time.
Therefore,
Unless it was absolutely necessary, Chen Sheng didn’t plan to activate the limit state of Xuanwu Transformation easily.
By the lakeside, when Chen Sheng attacked Zhao Zhenfeng, the latter’s three attributes were all around 200.
Facing Chen Sheng, who had doubled his attributes, he was naturally suppressed in an instant.
However, Chen Sheng knew.
Just because he could suppress Zhao Zhenfeng’s basic state for a short time didn’t mean he could easily crush him.
He had no idea what abilities Zhao Zhenfeng’s Breathing Techniques possessed,
As well as the power of that secret martial art called Nuclear Fist.
Chen Sheng had no clue.
He didn’t pin his hopes on the enemy being weak.
Therefore,
He must find the Qi Jie Stone and inheritance in Sealed Land before Zhao Zhenfeng and leave as quickly as possible.
With such thoughts in mind,
Chen Sheng adjusted his body’s condition to handle any possible encounters.
At the same time, he took steps to follow the green airflow through the various melting caves.
As time passed,
Chen Sheng walked along, covertly asking the sheep-faced man about various things about the Holy Sect and the Divine Beast Breathing Technique.
Unfortunately,
Sheep-faced man was not a high-ranking member of the Holy Sect,
He could not provide accurate information about the sect’s origins and secrets.
Having asked repeatedly, Chen Sheng mostly received information he already knew,
For example, the personnel structure of the Holy Sect,
Ordinary members divided by masks of the twelve Chinese zodiac animals, Same with the twelve envoys, such as Mr. Hai, who Chen Sheng had killed, was the last of those.
Above them were the Four Holy Envoys: Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, and White Tiger.
And,
The Sect Master, whose true identity the sheep-faced man never saw, but knew only of his existence.
Apparently, only the Four Holy Envoys had the right to meet him.
As for the information about the Divine Beast Breathing Technique known to
sheep – faced man,
Most of it was speculation by some old members of the Holy Sect, with no way to verify the authenticity.
The only sure thing was,
Each of the Four Holy Envoys possessed god-like abilities.
“Like that…”
As he walked, Chen Sheng stroked the chin of his mask, lost in thought.
He did not have much time to slowly interrogate the sheep-faced man.
To be able to deceive him with his Xuanwu identity and get him to reveal this information was already the limit.
With that thought,
Stepping,
Chen Sheng stopped.
Seeing that ‘Lord Xuanwu’ had stopped, the sheep-faced man quickly lowered his head, adopting a respectful appearance, looking expectantly at Chen Sheng.
“What does the Holy Envoy command?”
After a brief time together, the sheep-faced man became more and more respectful of Chen Sheng.
This was a Holy Envoy!!
Besides the elusive Sect Master, they were the actual holders of power in the
Holy Sect.
Yet, along the way, he spoke frequently with him.
This made the sheep-faced man extremely excited.
He even felt that he might have a chance to become Lord Xuanwu’s confidant.
After this mission,
Returning to the Holy Sect, facing his peers, he could brag about it.
“You know the Holy Envoy, right? I was talking and laughing with him in
Sealed Land!”
Thinking of that scene,
It was almost impossible for the sheep-faced man to hide his smile.
“It’s nothing.”
“Just sending you on your way.”
Chen Sheng’s indifferent voice sounded, causing the sheep-faced man’s expression to freeze.
On his way?
On what way?
Just as he was about to ask,
Boom –
Another surge of green airflow poured into the melting cave they were in.
And this time,
There was someone in the airflow that Chen Sheng did not want to meet.
Zhao Zhenfeng..
