Start from the Martial Arts

The first year of Shaoan. Fang Xiu was 23 years old.

In the back hall of the Divine Weapon Shop, in an independent forging room.

Clang clang clang!

Beside a furnace, Fang Xiu swung an iron hammer and hammered a piece of red-hot iron.

In order to thank him for saving his life, Su Sheng taught him the "Divine Ape Hammer Method" after consulting the Divine Weapon Valley.

Practicing this hammer method can not only improve forging skills, but also exercise the control of strength and strengthen the body in all directions.

Although he no longer has the fate of [dying young], the blessing of internal strength for more than 200 years has increased his speed of learning external skills to an astonishing degree.

It took Fang Xiu only half a month to master the Divine Ape Hammer Method.

In just half a year, he could complete the processes of forging, filing, quenching, polishing, etc. by himself, and forge high-quality swords.

As the saying goes, a hundred tempers make steel, dozens of times of folding and forging, and tens of thousands of swings of the hammer.

Ordinary people swing the hammer hundreds of times a day, and the next day they can't lift their hands.

Even for a warrior, swinging the hammer one or two thousand times is a huge burden.

However, Fang Xiu can swing the hammer more than ten thousand times in a day.

With his deep internal strength, his recovery speed exceeds that of most great martial artists, so his training progress can be rapid.

[Kung Fu: Hunyuan Yiqi Jue (2 Perfection (2%)]

[Martial Arts: Shenyuan Hammer Method·Mastery (26%)]

[Skills: Forging·Proficiency (7%), Thunder Force·Bright Force (40%), Wind Force·Bright Force (40%), Ice Force·Bright Force (46%)]

"Sure enough, [Grandmaster's Talent] has improved my bones."

Fang Xiu used the [Daily Accumulation] fate to check the attribute progress.

Although the effect of the [Grandmaster's Talent] fate did not clearly state it, his bones were indeed improved.

The speed of cultivation increased by not only 30% of the effect, but actually by more than 60%.

Because he had the foundation of Hunyuan Yiqi Jue, it only took him half a year to cultivate Changsheng Jue to the perfect stage.

One year of Hunyuan Yiqi Jue's skill can be converted into 1.2 years of skill of Changsheng Jue.

In other words, the skill of Hunyuan Yiqi Jue only needs more than 250 years to be transformed into 300 skills of Changsheng Jue, entering the realm of Xiantian Grandmaster.

However, the skill will be lost during the transformation process.

The loss will be greater when the skill of Changsheng Jue is converted into Hunyuan Yiqi Jue.

The key is that using Changsheng Jue to enter the Xiantian realm will definitely be weaker than using Hunyuan Yiqi Jue to enter the Xiantian realm.

Fang Xiu is not in a hurry now. The war between the north and the south is tense, and it may not be determined in a short time.

After the Xirong invaded Yunlan Mansion and looted, they had retreated to the desert.

Next, he has plenty of time to practice slowly.

......

At night.

Fang Xiu left the city and came to the shore of Yunmeng Lake.

Another year later, the strange fish in Yunmeng Lake seemed to have become less.

Fang Xiu took advantage of the beginning of winter and Caught a few normal red-blooded carp kings.

With his deep inner strength protecting him, Fang Xiu caught fish all night and didn't feel cold, but he was a little tired after swimming all night.

Just as Fang Xiu was about to go ashore, a white light ball above the Book of Destiny glowed green.

[Destiny: Water in Destiny] → [Destiny: Like a fish in water]

"The destiny has been upgraded?!" Fang Xiu was stunned. The destiny that was not integrated into the Book of Destiny could actually be upgraded with training.

He integrated the green light ball into the third page, and the text on it blurred.

[Destiny owner: Fang Xiu (first level)]

[Destiny: Like a fish in water]

[Grade: Green·Second level]

[Effect: Rivers, lakes and seas, water ripples are generated by themselves (can be upgraded)]

"Like a fish in water..."

Fang Xiu's eyes lit up and he went deeper into the water again.

This time, he knew I could clearly feel the difference.

The skin around my body seemed to become much smoother, the resistance and pressure under water were significantly reduced, and the swimming speed was greatly improved.

Originally, when I dived to a position below ten meters, I would feel a little tired and needed to circulate my true energy to resist the water pressure at all times.

Now, he reached the same position, but his body was not tired at all.

Fang Xiu immediately swam deeper.

He didn't feel the pressure again until he reached twenty meters underwater.

But it was much easier than before.

"This..."

As Fang Xiu continued to dive, he found that the water flow around his body formed a small vortex, which seemed to resist the surrounding water pressure for him.

Having consumed a lot of physical strength tonight, Fang Xiu was going to go back and rest first.

When his physical strength was fully restored, he would test the limit of [Like a Fish in Water].

"Huh?!"

When Fang Xiu floated to a depth of ten meters underwater, he suddenly found a golden sturgeon not far ahead.

"Golden-winged sturgeon!!"

Fang Xiu was delighted and swam over immediately.

"Haha!"

After a cup of tea, Fang Xiu successfully caught the golden-winged sturgeon weighing more than ten kilograms.

......

In the next two months, Fang Xiu would get something whenever he made a move.

He never came up empty-handed.

That day, he found another huge golden-winged sturgeon, weighing more than 40 kilograms.

However, the golden-winged sturgeon was too fast, and Fang Xiu couldn't catch it even after chasing it halfway.

Fang Xiu returned to the shore in disappointment and prepared to go back.

Plop!

Suddenly, the golden-winged sturgeon that escaped jumped out of the water at a very fast speed and landed on the shore.

It fluttered not far from Fang Xiu.

"This..."

Fang Xiu looked happy and stepped forward quickly. However, when he got closer, he realized something was wrong.

The tail of this golden-finned sturgeon was missing, as if it had been chewed off by something.

Gudu! Gudu!

There were violent fluctuations in the water surface.

Fang Xiu was stunned.

He saw a dark figure quickly emerge from the water.

The appearance is human-like, with the upper half of the body exposed above the water, withered and thin, and the skin is as green as grass.

"Water ghost?!" Fang Xiu was startled, remembering the recent legend of water ghost.

"Creak, creak, creak!" The water ghost chewed the golden-winged sturgeon meat, and his dark eyes suddenly moved, and his eyes fell on Fang Xiu.

In an instant, only ripples remained on the water surface, and the water ghost's figure had disappeared.

squeak! ! !

A harsh friction sound suddenly exploded.

The strength and Hunyuan Qi on Fang Xiu's body were layered upon each other, fluctuating violently.

The water ghost's sharp nails shone with a cold light in the moonlight, and layers of strength and energy were torn and cut, sparks bursting out.

However, no matter how hard it was, the nail stopped at a position two inches away from Fang Xiu's eyeball, unable to move even an inch.

boom--!

There was a huge explosion, like thunder on the ground. This punch requires two hundred years of skill.

The bombardment hit the water ghost's face, and its entire face was sunken. Green liquid and yellow and white things sputtered out.

Fang Xiu seemed to have thought of something and retreated at the first touch.

Sigh...

The strength and energy around him were still stained with green blood and were rapidly depleted.

"You're not even going to die?!"

Under the moonlight, the water ghost's sunken face quickly recovered.

Even his brain popped out, and after just one breath, he was able to regain his mobility.

The water ghost tilted its head slightly, rolled its dark eyes, and flew towards him with a roar.

"Bang bang bang!"

Fang Xiu's fists were like heavy hammers, hitting the water ghost's body hard.

In just a few moments, the water ghost was beaten until his chest was dented and his tendons were broken.

"I don't believe it!" Seeing that the water ghost could still recover and kept pestering him, Fang Xiu also became really angry.

He threw the water ghost to the ground heavily, and his fists hit the water ghost's head and torso like wheels, ignoring the splash of green liquid that consumed his strength and energy.

呲呲呲...

A large amount of white smoke rose into the air.

Centered on the body of the water ghost, a large sunken pit appeared around it.

boom!

The water ghost raised his hand for the last time and was punched in the head by Fang Xiu.

Bada.

The withered arms hung down limply.

dead.

Fang Xiu stood up and breathed a long sigh of relief.

A total of seventy-seven or eighty-eight percent of the energy was consumed.

He looked at the water ghost who had lost all movement and exited the pit.

"Does water ghost have a destiny..."

Fang Xiu stood outside the pit.

After a moment, the water ghost's body suddenly expanded rapidly as if it were inflated.

"not good!"

Fang Xiu retreated sharply.

boom!

The green liquid turned into a sphere the size of a human head and hit Fang Xiu's face directly.

Buzz!

Fang Xiu retreated sharply, and suddenly his chest shook violently, blooming with a dazzling red light.

His body seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move.

Three pieces of cloth that recorded the "Travel Notes of Immortal Jin", "Blood Qi Talismans", and "Hunyuan Yi Qi Jue" flew out.

Green liquid is poured over it.

Three pieces of cloth were covered with golden light, and the golden light spots all over the sky turned into light characters the size of rice grains, falling towards Fang Xiu's body.

Fang Xiu was shocked.

Before the light word fell, he felt a fatal threat.

"replace!"

Unable to move his body, the only thing he could do was to integrate the talent of "Resurrection from the Dead" into the Book of Destiny.

Countless words of light climbed up Fang Xiu's body and rushed into his head.

It was like countless needles piercing his head. The severe pain made him open his mouth wide, but he couldn't make a sound.

When all the light characters disappeared, Fang Xiu's seven orifices were bleeding and he remained motionless.

The next moment, a strange bulge appeared on the surface of his skull.

Bang!

Fang Xiu's Tianling Gai exploded with a big hole.

thump!

His body fell on his back and died on the spot.

The next moment, his body glowed with a faint blue light.

The blue light lasted for nearly a cup of tea.

When the blue light dissipated, Fang Xiu's body returned to its original state and he suddenly opened his eyes.

A blue light group slowly rose from the Book of Destiny, then burst open, turning into light spots all over the sky and dissipating.

[The talent of ‘resurrection from the dead’ has dissipated. 】

Fang Xiu was lying on the ground, his eyes a little out of focus.

"Han Wuyu actually reserved such a hand."

"If you don't activate the technique with the blood of the alien demon... it's a dead end."

Fang Xiu murmured softly.

He felt as if someone had forced a lot of things into his mind.

"Eight Phases of the Universe...Spiritual Root Mending Technique..."
