Chapter 101: As Easy as Moving One's Arm

Not practicing internal refining in the early stage is because the intensity of Qi and blood is too weak, and the feedback effect is too poor, so it is better to go from external to internal.

Now that the intensity of Qi and blood is sufficient, naturally, one should choose a faster internal refining method.

The internal refining method Hu Qi taught him is called "Xing Qi Ming".

The Qi is upright and extremely stable, so there is no need to worry about *qi* deviation.

It is the most suitable internal breathing method for beginners among Master Yang's many methods, and it is much more brilliant than those of the other two martial arts halls.

"Qi is the foundation of human life. If Qi moves, blood moves; if Qi leaks, blood clots. Breath is the root of practicing skills; Qi and breath combine to accumulate nature, the source of life."

"The pulse is the mansion of blood. If it is full above, Qi is high; if it is full below, Qi is bloated; if it is replaced, Qi is weak; if it is fine, Qi is little; it is like a surging spring."

Liang Qu sat motionless, silently reciting the mantra in his heart, and the Qi and blood in his body ran along the route in "Xing Qi Ming".

*Hoo! *

*Suck! *

One hundred and eight thousand pores were all breathing, the Qi and blood in his body were rising like a furnace, endless, as if muffled thunder was exploding.

The white steam sprayed from his nostrils was even more like a sharp sword. Sitting cross-legged on the bow, his breath could reach the river surface, pressing out two small pits.

The Qi and blood in Liang Qu's body were condensed at an unprecedented speed and merged into his flesh.

The crimson blood Qi almost penetrated his body, casting a bright red light on the lake surface reflected by the white light.

Only a moment.

Liang Qu's whole body muscles fluctuated like flowing water, expanding like inflation, fat and swollen.

And in the next moment, they contracted back, thin as withered bones, going back and forth three times.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have already died from muscle tearing, but for Liang Qu, not only was there no discomfort, but it was increasingly refreshing, and his whole body's aura was powerful and extraordinary.

Practicing skills by oneself is a qualitative change accumulated by quantitative changes; there is only the pleasure of becoming stronger, without any discomfort.

The Ze Tripod's endowment, however, is a direct qualitative change, and being caught off guard, it was a feeling of being on the verge of death.

Liang Qu exhaled again, his muscles contracted back, no longer thin as withered bones, but exactly the same as his initial normal appearance, with well-defined lines!

Done!

The Flesh Barrier has been broken!

Liang Qu is now a solid two-barrier martial artist!

Not only two barriers, but the third barrier is also just around the corner.

Dragon Tendons and Tiger Bones allowed the Qi and blood in Liang Qu's body to surge three times over, and when fully stimulated, it could penetrate his body by one foot wide and six feet long.

Breaking through the Flesh Barrier, it could still rise a section, directly refining bones!

Liang Qu opened his eyes and exhaled deeply.

Ordinary people practicing martial arts can only feel extremely boring. If they practice seriously for a month and see no progress, over time, they will naturally become lazy.

It's like looking at a download speed of a few dozen kb from more than ten years ago to download a game of a few g.

Fingers pinching the progress bar, seeing no movement for a long time, feeling restless.

It's also like licking the goddess you've been thinking about, but she never gives you a good look, leaving you with an empty wallet and nothing, eventually giving up.

Liang Qu practiced martial arts for a season and broke through two barriers in a row. Every day he could feel the feedback of his own progress. The speed was completely in mb units, and the goddess took the initiative to lick him.

Even at the current speed, he could break through the Bone Barrier within two months, equivalent to breaking through three barriers in half a year, an average of one barrier every two months!

Refreshing, truly refreshing.

The goal set at the New Year's Eve dinner was too small. It's not just becoming a martial artist within a year; he can become a Galloping Horse martial artist within a year!

"The aura is a big chunk stronger."

Liang Qu stood up, the wooden boards on the bow creaked, and he found that his own perspective had changed slightly.

"Grown taller again, already approaching one meter eight, and my weight has increased quite a bit."

Liang Qu picked up Dragon Dragon Fubo from the boat, his sturdy forearm transmitted strength, easily flipping the large spear.

Smooth, too smooth!

Splitting, intercepting, blocking, flicking, smashing, stabbing, picking.

Dragon Tendons and Tiger Bones allowed him to have strength a big chunk higher than martial artists of the same level.

Holding the hundred-jin Dragon Dragon Fubo in his hand, he no longer needed to rely on the strength of his waist and hips to drive it; he could complete a series of techniques such as flipping, picking, and stabbing with just his wrists.

Clouds flowing and water moving, steady and powerful.

Along with Liang Qu's movements, the serratus anterior muscles on both sides of his ribs rose and fell like shark gills, the lines beautiful and clear, full of explosive power.

A hundred jin can completely be said to be the weight of an adult woman.

It is equivalent to Liang Qu being able to wield an adult as a weapon at will with just the strength of his wrists.

With such weight, just smashing it on someone would be enough to smash them to death!

Finally able to use this spiritual weapon as easily as moving one's arm, next, he would go find Senior Brother Xu and ask him to help train in the use of the long spear and learn two more related martial arts.

Liang Qu's emotions were high, and he swung the long spear fiercely.

The airflow stirred, and a crack several zhang long split open on the slightly rippling river surface!

The four beasts, who had already eaten the armored beast clean, surfaced and widened their eyes at this scene.

"Cough, cough."

Realizing that beasts were watching, Liang Qu coughed twice and put away the long spear.

Fake.

All fake.

How could he have the ability to split the water surface by more than ten meters? It was all simulated by manipulating the water flow.

The Water Monkey evolved into Ze Rong, and the amount of water Liang Qu could manipulate surged dozens of times, exceeding six hundred jun, nearly ten tons!

Communicate with the Ze Tripod.

【Tripod Master: Liang Qu】

【Refining Refined Ze Ling: Ze Rong (Cyan) (Fusion Degree: 1‰)】

【Refined Ze Ling Favor: Martial Path Divine Power First Layer (Chuan Zhu Di Jun)】

【Talent Skills: Water Leap, Water Breathing, Water Prison, Ride Water and Drive Waves】

【Water Ze Essence: None】

【River Favor Degree: 0.0001】

【Commanding Water Beasts: Horned Wood Crocodile, Tiger-Headed Catfish, Stone Pincer Crab, Heavenly Water Centipede】

【Evaluation: Ze Rong Refined Ze Ling originates from the great Lord of Huai Vortex, with extremely low stimulation, a small character worth mentioning.】

Liang Qu had sharp eyes and saw at a glance that the percentage after the fusion degree had become per mille.

Calculated this way, another promotion would require one hundred thousand points of Water Ze Essence?

Moreover, this time a promotion condition appeared, which was to obtain a trace of river favor. He happened to have it. What would it be next time?

And there was Water Vitality.

Slowly absorbing Water Ze Essence in water, supplementing the insufficiency of water beast evolution.

Liang Qu jumped into the water.

The Water Breathing skill allowed him to completely get rid of the trouble of changing air.

As long as he didn't engage in strenuous exercise that consumed oxygen, such as fighting or fleeing, his whole body's pores could autonomously exchange oxygen with the water, breathing, no longer needing to change air, and living underwater for a long time.

Liang Qu tried to absorb the invisible "essence" in the water while communicating with the Ze Tripod to further understand the meaning of Water Vitality.

After a while, he finally sorted it out.

From now on, as long as he stayed in the water, he could absorb Water Ze Essence at the rate of one point per day.

It really is slow.

Calculated based on one hundred thousand Water Ze Essence, he would have to soak in the water for three hundred years.

And injury recovery would be faster than on land, but not by much.

Will it really not get infected in the water?

Liang Qu was hesitant.

These are all small matters.

Consuming Water Ze Essence to supplement the insufficiency of water beast evolution is the biggest change!

Liang Qu summoned the four beasts and investigated them one by one, finding that both Quan Tou and Ah Wei could be supplemented, and the Water Ze Essence required was not much—one needed thirteen points, and one only needed ten points.

Bu Neng Dong and the Fatty Catfish didn't need it.

Regarding this, his understanding was that the two beasts were not evolved from the Ze Tripod.

If there were an evolution chart to compare, it would be equivalent to the two beasts not choosing the optimal evolution route.

Resulting in the fact that as spirit monsters of the same level, the Water Ze Essence required for further evolution was actually less.

One step behind, every step behind.

It's a bit like Tyrannosaurus not evolving into MetalGreymon, but instead becoming SkullGreymon—also powerful, but not that powerful.

Nothing to say, supplement, continue to supplement!

Quan Tou and Ah Wei were small in size and didn't eat much armored beast meat, but the ten points of Water Ze Essence accumulated were more than enough, fully capable of supporting the supplementation needs.

The Ze Tripod shone brightly. ===== CHAPTER 102 =====
