Chapter 008 is not a dream
In an instant, with a forceful push of both feet, strength surged from the arms, moving the torso, sinking the hips, and penetrating through the legs. The large muscles in the calves expanded, storing energy, elasticity increased significantly, poised to spring into action
A multitude of numbers and symbols flickered throughout the simulated human body as this hand reached out
With the emergence of this thought, the book indeed opened out of thin air. Subsequently, a beam of white light shot out from the book, dispersing and gathering, quickly forming a simulacrum that mirrored Chen Qian's stature and appearance
"Colorfulclouds, please stop causing a scene." The woman in white spoke again to calm the situation, then turned to Chen Qian and asked, "From Colorfulclouds' account, it seems that the young master was not at a disadvantage against her two snake-style techniques. I wonder what those two techniques are? Moreover, seeing the damage to her shoulder garment, it is evident that it was not merely a matter of evading the moves..."
The force rebounds! Indeed, she is a martial artist at the Blood Qi realm! How young is she! However, although this rebounding force is fierce, it lacks the circulation of true energy, indicating that it is merely at the level of the inner layer of Blood Qi.
Then, the humanoid simulation stood still, and suddenly, a hand shot out swiftly
With a single word spoken, the petite figure of the young girl twisted several times, skillfully gliding through the scattered wooden debris, and darted into the large hole in the wall created by Chen Qian. At the same time, her left hand extended and retracted, a slender, pale golden figure coiling and shifting on her arm.
This young gentleman, Colorful Clouds, acts without restraint; I hope you will not take it to heart
"Colorful clouds, stop being mischievous, take it back..." The voice was soft and calm, imbued with a sense of coolness, evoking a feeling of ethereality in Chen Qian, who had just regained his physical balance.
"Are you saying that I made a mistake?" Chen Qian's companion, colorfulclouds, exclaimed, "Don't think that just because you used some strange trick to evade my Snake Hand Technique, you can speak recklessly. You have disrupted Ice Sister's carefully arranged little space. If you don't bear any responsibility, Uncle Gray's punishment upon his return will be even harsher"
The name on the last booklet left Chen Qian's heart in turmoil for a long time. After quite a while, he finally calmed down, and a thought began to rise in his consciousness.
With the conjectures in his heart, Chen Qian's attention was entirely focused on the three booklets. Strangely enough, as his consciousness concentrated on them, the distance between the three books and him rapidly closed, finally allowing him to see the covers clearly
At this moment, Chen Qian had just recalled a name
Strength
At this thought, Chen Qian set aside the inquiry of the woman in white, disregarding the surrounding environment, and began to concentrate deeply: "If this is not a dream, then... what is the name of that tower? It seems to be called..."
In the midst of a crisp sound, the fabric of the young woman's garment at her shoulder suddenly tore with a "bang," shattering into numerous small pieces and revealing her smooth, white shoulder; meanwhile, Chen Qian's fist seemed to be jolted as if by electricity, recoiling like lightning. His face turned pale, and with a muffled groan, he swiftly retreated, his feet moving quickly backward.
Collapse
The spirit snake emerges from its lair! This speed is astonishing, and the power unleashed in an instant nearly reaches the physical limit! At this level, it is no longer a mere low-grade technique. Although there is no corresponding true energy in operation, the instantaneous burst of strength in the arms, even a mortal at the third level of Qi circulation at its peak, with all limbs and back fully connected with energy, would still be unable to withstand it several times
As he retreated, Chen Qian's mind flashed with thoughts, and he gained a sense of certainty. However, even with just the strength of the first layer of vital energy, it was still beyond the capability of his mere mortal body, which only had the strength of his arms. Moreover, within the confines of this small cabin, the space was narrow, making it unsuitable for martial combat
Open it
The surrounding scenery transformed rapidly, drawing closer to a seven-story pagoda, and ultimately, consciousness broke through a door, entering within.
It is rather strange that this sound appeared abruptly, and it came from behind him, yet it did not make Chen Qian, who was in a state of mental focus, feel any sense of threat or surprise, as if this sound was inherently meant to be here
Upon her remark, Chen Qian also recalled his previous punch, a thought stirring in his mind: "Indeed, during the earlier confrontation, there was no time for careful consideration. Now, reflecting on it, that move aimed directly at the heart of the matter clearly resembled the form of a transformed individual as simulated in a dream. As I executed the technique, the internal energy within my arm accumulated and naturally rebounded like a great spear, unexpectedly striking a martial artist at the Qi and Blood realm with a single blow"
Rows of empty bookshelves filled Chen Qian's consciousness
Bang
The loli on the opposite side swung her left hand!
"A small punishment serves as a great warning, does it not? If this is how you deal with your own servants, then your approach is certainly fair. However, I, Chen Qian, though indebted to you, am not a slave for sale," Chen Qian replied with neither humility nor arrogance. "The grace of saving my life will surely be repaid with my life in the future. If you truly believe that I am someone who cannot distinguish between gratitude and enmity, you may strike me down right now with a single blow! Your cultivation is higher than mine, so killing me would not be difficult. However, I will not close my eyes and await death."
You certainly have quite a few tricks up your sleeve, but this is where it ends! She clearly appeared somewhat embarrassed due to a series of unexpected events, and with a swift step forward, she waved her hands vigorously, the sound of "hiss" echoing continuously. At the same time, a slender golden snake on her left arm raised its head and flicked its tongue, hissing.
Chen Qian's consciousness was locked onto several volumes on a shelf on the first floor
What... what kind of trick is this! Truly insane! The loli was taken aback, but then a look of alarm flashed across her face, "Oh no! The room next door is where Ice Sister rests!"
Chen Qian understood in his heart upon hearing this; the half-grown girl was named "colorfulclouds." He then shook his head and said to the woman in white behind him: "It is not as simple as that. I was gravely injured and on the brink of death, and it was you who saved me. This is a kindness. Now, to engage in combat with Miss colorfulclouds would imply repaying kindness with enmity. However, Miss colorfulclouds strikes fiercely; although I am grateful, I will not be bound by that..."
"Deng Tuzi!" With a single word spoken, the woman swung her long sleeves, and within them, a slender snake tail subtly extended and retracted. Noticing this, Chen Qian felt a sudden shock in his heart, a warning sign appeared
Lost in thought, Chen Qian involuntarily closed his eyes, a subconscious action of deep contemplation
Martial arts are categorized into internal and external grades. Aside from the disordered techniques that do not fall into any grade, any external techniques or internal breathing methods that adhere to strict regulations are classified as inferior. Those that involve the manipulation of true energy and the surging of vital energy are considered intermediate techniques
The floor beneath Chen Qian's feet cracked rapidly, with wood shavings scattering everywhere. In the astonished gaze of the young girl, he used his back as a hammer, propelling himself with his legs, and like a cannonball, he soared through the air, crashing solidly into the wooden wall behind him. Following this was a muffled grunt as the wooden wall shattered, and Chen Qian's body had already passed through the wall.
As soon as this thought arose, he suddenly felt a wave of dizziness in his mind, and vaguely, his consciousness seemed to be racing at an incredible speed
This is ... ...
Thinking of this, the past and future resurfaced in my mind
A slender figure suddenly flashed within Chen Qian's line of sight, and a wave of intense palpitations erupted in his heart, causing a surge of power to explode beneath his feet
These two techniques, while the "Spirit Snake Emerges from the Cave" is acceptable, the "Nine Twists and Eight Turns" is indeed a proper mid-tier technique. It is not that this young lady looks down upon you, but from your movements and breathing, it is evident that you have not yet entered the realm of vital energy and blood. I wonder how you are able to withstand it? This woman in white seems to have considerable insight into martial arts, and she expressed her doubts directly.
With a single step, the young girl lightly landed on the other side of the wall. At that moment, Chen Qian appeared somewhat unsteady on his feet due to the force of the impact and the backlash from the exertion.
Could it be that it is really not a dream
Hmm? Three booklets? One more than last time, could it be that...
At this point in her speech, Colorful Clouds raised her hand to shield her delicate shoulders from the light, then glared at Chen Qian again, saying: "It is the spirit snake emerging from its den and the winding paths, hum! If it weren't for my carelessness..."
"You are truly rude, Sister Bing..." Colorfulclouds, witnessing this scene, felt an increasing discontent in her heart, but was interrupted by the woman in white and * Tushuzi, the latter shaking her head and quietly observing Chen Qian, who was deep in thought with his eyes closed
Chen Qian turned his head in response to the sound, and what caught his eye was a slender figure dressed in plain white. This figure was clearly a woman, wearing a white shirt and skirt, covered by a pristine white cloak, with a veil obscuring her face, making it impossible to discern her features
That tower is called the Tower of Knowledge
Breaking the Formation Fist Technique, Chen Family Sword Technique, and then... Snake Hand
At the moment when Chen Qian retreated rapidly, the expression on the woman's face had already shifted from sunny to overcast. The blush on her cheeks remained unchanged, yet a hint of ferocity between her brows diminished her delicate beauty
At that moment, a faint female voice suddenly came from the side
The girl known as "colorfulclouds" pouted upon hearing the sound, withdrew her arms along with the golden-threaded snake on her arm, and looked back at Chen Qian with a face full of grievance.
The woman in white sat cross-legged, with a guqin in front of her. Upon seeing Chen Qian breaking through the wall, she remained unfazed, stood up straight, and spoke in a calm voice from behind her veil.
Watching the simulation of the humanoid with keen awareness, Chen Qian couldn't help but murmur to himself. His words immediately caught the attention of the two women beside him.
Its speed is as swift as a thunderbolt
Suddenly
You! Colorful Clouds was so infuriated by Chen Qian's words that she exclaimed, "Are you implying that I am unreasonable?"
Recognize the tower
Medium-grade martial arts, naturally superior, manipulate true energy and blood energy, possessing extraordinary power, akin to the snake hand used by colorfulclouds, which is classified as medium-grade, while the array-breaking fist practiced by Chen Qian is ranked as low-grade
As his consciousness drifted, Chen Qian was astonished; this time was different from the last. He merely entered the tower with his consciousness, floating in mid-air like an observer.
