Volume 2 That World Chapter 27: Extraordinary Realm
Qi Ji carefully recalled the sword attack by Yu Chengen just now. The feeling it gave him was at least 70% similar to the terrifying sword-drawing attack by the lame swordsman in the tower.
As expected of the Great Xia Sword Saint, he was able to understand the moves described by Qi Ji just from a few words, and more importantly, he could restore and present them as best as possible!
To Qi Ji, Yu Chengen's sword-drawing was as fast as that of the lame swordsman.
It was as if the knife turned into a beam of light after it was unsheathed, and only turned back into a knife when it stopped in front of his throat.
This was an attack that he was currently completely unable to dodge.
Su Jingqiu's eyes lit up as she watched from the side. She couldn't help but ask, "Deacon Yu, is this the technique for using 'Fa'?"
Yu Chengen smiled and nodded.
Qi Ji couldn't help but ask: "What does 'fa' mean? Is it the method of using supernatural power?"
Su Jingqiu nodded and said yearningly: "After breaking through the limit and entering the extraordinary level, there are five levels that I know of so far."
Qi Ji looked eager to learn: "I'd like to hear the details."
Su Jingqiu looked at Yu Chengen, who smiled and nodded, so she began to explain.
"Once a person's body and spirit have been trained to 'transcend the limit', they can attract the 'qi' between heaven and earth and absorb it into their body. They can gradually transform and strengthen their body with the qi, gaining greater strength and speed. This process is the first stage of transcendence, and is usually called - gathering."
Su Jingqiu couldn't help but glance at Qi Ji when she said this: "Speaking of this, I only believe what Zijin said after seeing the speed you burst out when you were sparring with Deacon Yu just now."
Qi Ji touched his chin, looked up at Qin Zijin who was laughing secretly, and asked, "What did Zijin say?"
Su Jingqiu smiled bitterly: "She said that in your normal state, your basic quality is close to three times that of an ordinary person, and once you use your unique explosive ability, your physical quality will probably be more than five times that of an ordinary person."
She couldn't help but sigh: "Your physical strength is simply a monster. I'm afraid that most people who have just entered the extraordinary stage, before they have accumulated enough in the 'gathering' stage, their physical strength is not as good as yours."
Qi Ji smiled slightly: "You're too kind, what about the second stage?"
Su Jingqiu said in a light voice: "When the 'Qi' absorbed in the first stage has completed the strengthening and transformation of the body, you can enter the second stage, which is the 'development' stage I just mentioned. In this stage, since the body has fully adapted to the existence of 'Qi', you can start to try to control the Qi in the body with your mind, and use Qi to stimulate the local flesh in a short period of time, bursting out power far beyond the limit."
Qi Ji seemed to understand something and asked, "So, the first stage of transcendence is the process of physical fitness becoming stronger again after surpassing the limits of ordinary people?"
Then he continued to ask questions: "And in the second stage, the extra explosive power of the 'fa' technique has already surpassed the imagination of ordinary people and officially demonstrated extraordinary specialness?"
Qin Zijin added, "If we use the game's terms, the first stage is to increase the attributes of the extraordinary people, and the second stage is to allow the extraordinary people to use their skills."
Wow, this girl is good at using metaphors. She understood what was going on instantly.
Yu Chengen nodded and said, "When a Transcendent reaches the second level, he can stimulate the Qi in the corresponding parts of the body with his mind, and then use moves that exceed the limits of the human body. For example, the sword-drawing technique I used just now was an attack that was launched by using Qi to stimulate the muscles of the hands, wrists, forearms, and upper arms."
"What about the next two floors?" Qi Ji continued to ask.
Su Jingqiu replied: "The third level is called 'Flow'. At this stage, the extraordinary person's Qi spreads throughout the body. The manipulation of Qi is no longer just controlling it for a moment, but can let the Qi flow smoothly in the body, maintaining a continuous explosive state, which is equivalent to the continuous use of 'Fang' on the whole body."
"The fourth floor..." Su Jingqiu wanted to continue speaking, but was interrupted by Yu Chengen.
"Let's not talk about the rest for now. You guys haven't even entered the supernormal realm yet, so don't think about things that far ahead."
Yu Chengen smiled and said, "The special training time is limited. I think you can discuss the related popular science matters when you go back tonight. Now let's talk about something practical."
Qi Ji and Su Jingqiu both shut their mouths and nodded.
Yu Chengen continued, "Qi Ji, go aside first and think about how to respond to the attack I just made."
Then he looked at Su Jingqiu: "Jingqiu , it's your turn now, come here!"
Qi Ji retreated to a tree and began to recall Yu Chengen's previous attack.
Qin Zijin came over and asked, "Do you have any idea? How can an ordinary person break this extraordinary move?"
Qi Ji shook his head and smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I have no idea at all. It was too fast. As soon as the knife was unsheathed, I was like a dead man. There was no room for defense or evasion."
"It's okay." Qin Zijin comforted Qi Ji, "At the beginning, he was just an illusion. In fact, your current level is still a long way from meeting such an opponent. If the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up."
What else could Qi Ji say? He couldn't tell the girl in front of him that he was facing such an opponent now, right?
On this side, Yu Chengen was already confronting Su Jingqiu .
Yu Chengen changed his sword to a long sword with a wide blade and a flat head, which was like a rectangular board. Its shape was almost the same as the weapon of Ah Hu from the Shen Dao Tower that he saw that day, and it looked very heavy.
But Yu Chengen was able to hold such a huge blade with one hand.
This is probably the unreasonableness of the extraordinary people.
Yu Chengen said in a clear voice: "Jingqiu, I have seen the 'Fiery Blade' sword technique of the Divine Sword Tower many times. I heard that the Divine Sword Tower only allows people with natural divine powers to practice this sword technique. Because this heavy sword technique is a combination of one-handed and two-handed sword techniques, it is difficult for people without natural divine powers to control it. Today, I will play the role of a Fiery Blade swordsman to practice with you."
Su Jingqiu nodded silently, holding the sword in one hand and taking a stance.
Lower your body, stand in a bow stance, hold the sword in your right hand flat on the side of your face, and place your left hand with sword fingers lightly on the sword blade.
This opening move is exactly the peerless sword technique called "Chao" that Bai Tianhe and Qi Ji used in the rookie competition final!
It seems that Bai Tianhe's swordsmanship originated from Jiange.
Qi Ji immediately perked up and watched attentively. He didn't even have time to think about how to break the sharp knife as Grandpa Yu had asked him to.
"Deacon Yu! I'm coming!" Su Jingqiu shouted softly, and a momentum like a great river and tide suddenly rose up. The next moment, she stepped on the ground and rushed forward, and unexpectedly rushed in front of Yu Chengen at a speed similar to that after the outbreak of Qi Ji's meridian nourishing method.
In an instant, the two men began to fight with swords!
Yu Chengen obviously let Su Jingqiu win on purpose, keeping his strength below the extraordinary level, about the same level as Su Jingqiu.
Then, the two sides attacked and defended each other more than ten times in a few seconds!
This was the first time Qi Ji saw this "senior sister" take action!
Her physical fitness is extremely strong. Qi Ji feels that when he and Su Jingqiu are in the same state of explosive growth, Su Jingqiu's data in all aspects should only be slightly worse than his.
More importantly, her skills are natural!
This naturalness is subtly different from Bai Tianhe's "sword intent".
Those who possess the sword spirit are like those who draw swords on behalf of heaven. Their every move is in line with the principles of swordsmanship, and they can achieve five points of effect with three points of strength.
Su Jingqiu's performance seemed more like she had figured out the essence of human body movements. As long as the movement was something the human body could do, she could easily find a way to counter it.
As the saying goes, the mind is wandering in a game, it is wonderful and unknowable, so it is called entering a trance!
When one reaches the ninth level, known as "entering the realm of the gods", he will be unpredictable in battle, able to defeat the enemy without fighting, and there will be no one who can match him.
Simply put, Su Jingqiu's realm is an invincible state that can never be overcome by mortal skills alone.
If you want to defeat someone at this level, you can only consider three directions.
The first is the comprehensive suppression of physical fitness, and the extent of physical suppression is required to exceed the limit that the technology can withstand.
For example, when Qi Ji defeated Zhang Zizai, it felt a bit like this. He used his physical strength to completely suppress Zhang Zizai, making it difficult for him to play out his technical advantage.
The second is extraordinary skills, that is, using moves that normal humans cannot imagine and have never seen before, and achieving success in one strike.
Third, if two people who have reached the same state of trance compete with each other until one of them runs out of stamina, the winner will naturally be determined.
Now Yu Chengen controlled his level to below the extraordinary level, and used the sword techniques he imitated from the Divine Sword Tower to teach Su Jingqiu some moves.
So Qi Ji and Qin Zijin had the good fortune to witness the entire fierce battle between the two masters.
It can only be described as extremely exciting.
Although Yu Chengen's Fiery Blade Sword Technique was imitated from the Divine Sword Tower, he only captured the form but not the spirit.
But he is the only sword saint in Da Xia in all these years. His talent and comprehension are among the best among billions of people in the world. Even though the blazing blade swordsmanship he uses has no internal principles to support it, in terms of the standardization and variation of the moves, it can be said bluntly that it is much more standard than those of the inner disciples of the Divine Sword Tower!
In this way, the two sides attacked and defended at high speed. After only a few cycles, Yu Chengen demonstrated the Fiery Blade Sword Technique over and over for more than ten rounds, and cooperated with Su Jingqiu to thoroughly understand this sword technique.
Snap!
Just as the two were fighting, a sound came from a distance, which seemed to be the sound of a giant tree breaking.
The atmosphere of the battle was affected.
Seeing that Su Jingqiu was already sweating profusely and his movements were slightly deformed, Yu Chengen deflected Su Jingqiu's attack and took two steps back.
"Let's take a break. How was it? Did you gain anything?" Yu Chengen said with a smile.
"Yes, I have gained a lot. I have seen through Chi Ren's swordsmanship." Su Jingqiu said what Bai Tianhe often said.
Damn it, what on earth did you see through?
Why do you always see through this and that?
Qi Ji always felt frustrated by the unreasonable talents of these geniuses.
Is it great to have talent?
Just wait, I'll practice meridian nourishing method during the day and climb towers at night, sooner or later I'll kill you!
At this moment, King Qi Ji swore the oath of scrolling.
