Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 180: Full of Irrationality
The powerful and balanced first life palace brought the best foundation for star cultivation. Coupled with six hours of explosive cultivation, when Tang Zheng waited for the star tide to calm down, he saw that a total of four hundred and twenty-seven strands of two-star star power had increased in the life palace.
The two-star star power in his body has reached two thousand nine hundred and sixty-five strands.
It can be said that he is only one step away from breaking through to the three thousand strands of star power of the high-level two-star level.
Tang Zheng was not greedy for credit, he turned his palm and switched the fan dagger to a peaceful and pretentious state.
He pulled off his wet robe and wrung out sweat all over the floor.
After a short rest, he lowered his head and looked at the fan dagger in his hand. He squinted his eyes slightly and recalled the few days by the cold pond. Under the guidance of Lu Huang and Luo Fei, he frantically absorbed a wave of casting knowledge.
The essence compression method, the power accumulation and pressure technique, the star-chasing essence annihilation method... and so on.
He remembered that when he used the charging technique, he accidentally dropped the ice stone in his hand and it flew into the sky, and he also shot down a crow that was unfortunately passing by.
That scene was just a small episode in the casting process.
However, he always kept it firmly in his mind and never forgot it.
Because since the charging and pressuring technique can allow you to successfully deal with the Ice Stone that requires at least three-star beginners to successfully crush in advance even if you don't have enough strength, what if you apply the charging and pressuring technique to martial arts?
Would that also produce the effect of powerful stars?
Using the star power of two stars to perform martial arts that are as powerful as three stars?
Improved martial arts.
Speaking of which, this is not something a two-star warrior should consider.
However, ever since the fan dagger was forged, this idea has been lingering in his mind.
Tang Zheng opened the door and asked someone to prepare some hot water for him. After closing the door again, he lay in the bathtub, looking at the fan dagger, and began to think.
In the palm of his hand, the dagger floated up...
Tang Zheng's two star forces passed through his life palace, accumulated energy, and increased pressure, gradually forming a vortex of energy in his palm.
While feeling the pressure of the charged vortex on the star vein in his palm, he carefully recalled the feeling when he used the charged pressure technique to compress it.
"Hmm, something's not right..." Tang Zheng leaned on the edge of the bathtub, looked up at the sky, and found the problem.
The accumulated force and pressurization method is targeted at materials.
And what he holds in his hand now is a weapon.
Pressurizing the materials is to directly use the star power, extend the star power to the weapons, and then twist the star power into the rules of martial arts operation. It is extremely difficult!
The strong pressure gradually gathered...
Tang Zheng didn't know that telekinesis was something that only three-star warriors could do, because when processing materials, telekinesis was inevitable, so he immediately extended the star power in his palms to the fan dagger floating between his palms.
Then, the opening move...
He felt like a balloon that was blown up and suddenly popped.
The star power in the palm of his hand leaked out, with no tendency .
"Is it really not working?" Tang Zheng touched his nose.
The pressure on my palms was growing stronger and stronger, becoming increasingly difficult to control.
If it is just a simple crushing of the material, it can be barely controlled, but martial arts require complete control of the star power and its circulation in a specific circuit before it can be successfully released.
Circuit...
If the star power does not form a circuit outside the body, it cannot be considered a complete martial art.
But how to form a loop?
"Strong pressure and complete control, this is a paradox..." Tang Zheng slowly dispersed the vortex of power in his palm and analyzed it in his mind...
No wonder even though the charging and pressurizing technique has been created for many years, Bailianfang still hasn't used it in battle.
However, Tang Zheng did not give up.
Because after applying pressure, the ice stone can be processed with two-star power, so it is theoretically possible to use this method to make the two-star power have the power of three stars.
Since the theory is established, it is worth studying!
Tang Zheng examined the star veins and slowly practiced the dagger technique again.
Crash...
He stood up from the water and started practicing directly.
As he performed the dagger technique, water splashed everywhere in the room.
Of course, the details such as his naked body and the water splashing all over the room were not Tang Zheng's focus for the time being.
"Hmm... the opening move." Tang Zheng's eyes lit up. "The opening move of the Dagger Technique uses a very small amount of star power. Because it is the first move, the circuit is the simplest... Moreover, this skill has the highest proficiency... Let's give it a try."
As he muttered to himself, he started charging his energy once again, and a vortex swirled in his palm.
"One and a half times the pressure, start!" Tang Zheng shouted softly, and at the moment when the vortex in his palm released the star power, he controlled the star power that was like a wild horse running out of control like lightning, and managed to form a star power circuit.
Tang Zheng's opening took nearly three times longer than usual.
However, this time, the star power did not dissipate like a punctured balloon, but was released successfully!
Tang Zheng was not too surprised that the opening move was successful on the first try.
This can only be considered a theoretical success, and it is still some distance away from actual combat.
"Well, if you don't care about the details like release and accuracy... it should be considered a success." Tang Zheng calmly looked at the starting posture that was originally facing the window but ended up opening a small hole in the roof, and nodded with satisfaction.
Try again and again.
One and a half times, one and a half times, twice...
Finally, after the roof was ravaged and riddled with holes, Tang Zheng finally stopped trying.
Although the starting circuit is the simplest, it can only be compressed to 2.5 times the force of the technique to ensure a rough success rate.
If the pressure is increased again, the result will be the same... a popped balloon.
"Take your time. You still need to practice hard... I estimate that the power of the opening move has increased, but I don't know if it can break the defense of a three-star warrior? Otherwise... let's find Xu Qingyan as a target to try it out tomorrow."
The sky was already turning pale.
Before he knew it, Tang Zheng had been tossing and turning all night.
However, Tang Zheng was very satisfied that he could verify the idea that he had buried in his heart for several days overnight. "After my improvement, this martial art should be called the Strength-Removing Dagger Technique, and it can no longer be called the opening move. Hmm... how to name it, Kamehameha? Scientific Railgun... "
Just as Tang was fantasizing about naming the improved martial arts, a surprised and angry girl suddenly roared at the door: "Eh...Ahhh, Master? You broke your own door naked, what are you doing!"
…
Tang Xiaotang was killed instantly by Tang Zheng, and Tang Zheng quickly stood up and put on his clothes.
Tang Zheng really didn't notice that the roof and the door had been messed up by him. He probably would look very curious at the craftsmen from Tangjiabao who would come to repair the house tomorrow.
"Fourteen is awake?" After Tang Zheng put on his clothes, he came out and asked Tang Xiaotang.
"Hmm..." If Fourteen hadn't woken up, Tang Xiaotang wouldn't have come to disturb Tang Zheng, and she wouldn't have happened to run into Tang Zheng showing off his figure in a bucket of cold water.
"Let's go." Tang Zheng immediately followed Xiaotang and went to Fourteen's side.
Fourteen was settled in a quiet guest room.
When he saw Tang Zheng coming, two fierce rays of light immediately appeared in his eyes.
However, those two rays of fierce light were not directed at Tang Zheng. As soon as he saw Tang Zheng, he immediately said, "Good man. Take me to find my brother."
Looking for brother?
Tang Zheng felt something was wrong when he heard this: "Where did Thirteen go? Don't you know?"
"I don't know." Fourteen shook his head, "Brother, get out. Take the bad guy away."
Fourteen's expression was not very clear, but Tang Zheng could roughly understand it. It should be that Thirteen went out hunting one day and had not returned yet, but people came soon, found the cave where they were hiding, and captured Fourteen and the others.
Fourteen found a way to escape and found the Tang Family Castle, but because his injuries were too severe, he was unable to reach his destination and collapsed halfway.
Fortunately, Tang Zheng was passing by on his way back to Tangjiabao and brought him back.
"Others? Alive?" Tang Zheng asked.
"Yes. Alive. Some, dead." There was no sadness in Fourteen's eyes, only fierceness.
"Who took you away?" Tang Zheng continued to ask.
"I don't know." Fourteen continued to shake his head, "But, in the cage... I saw Zhang Dali!"
"Zhang Dali?" Tang Xiaotang called out directly.
"Wait a minute, do you mean that you saw Zhang Dali in the cage, or that Zhang Dali was caged with you?"
"We are inside." Fourteen pointed at himself, then pointed outside, "Zhang Dali is outside."
Tang Xiaotang looked at Tang Zheng with confusion.
Because according to Tang Zheng's arrangement, Zheng Qian and his team had forced Zhang Dali and his group into a state of no chance of survival.
Could it be that after they retreated from the foot of Wuqing Mountain, they switched to human trafficking?
But there weren't that many kids who had their fate palaces lit up near Wulong Town. Why did they have to go to such a far place to provoke a group of powerful little savages? Wouldn't that just bring trouble to themselves?
"Where are the others who are still alive?" Tang Zheng asked.
"Brother..." Fourteen seemed not to want to trouble Tang Zheng and the others, and was still thinking about Thirteen.
"We will send someone else to look for your brother. Now, tell me, where are the other living children?" Tang Zheng remembered that there were some children who were only five or six years old among that group of children. No matter what the reason was for Zhang Dali to lead people to their cave and capture them, those five or six-year-old children might not be able to withstand too much torture.
"Cage, down the mountain...towards the maple forest." Fourteen kept recalling their journey, "Stopped for one night. In the morning, headed to Stone Mountain, and stopped again...There were a lot of people. I don't know."
Maple forests and stone mountains are all natural landmarks that Fourteen saw.
Once he entered a densely populated area, he could no longer remember the places he had been to from the natural landscape.
It must have taken him a lot of twists and turns to find his way to Tangjiabao.
However, Fourteen has done his best to give such information.
"If it's human trafficking, their route would be a bit weird. Instead of going to densely populated cities, they go deep into the mountains?" Tang Zheng frowned.
"Uh..." Tang Xiaotang couldn't help but shudder: "Then we..."
"Patience." Tang Zheng's eyes became calmer instead, "Wait for Xu Qingyan!"
