Over the past seven days, under Dumb's diligent training, he could already use the Living Transformation technique to conjure simple weapons like a palm-sized white energy knife or a spike. Although the shape was not big, it was powerful. Using the energy knife to cut things was practically invincible.
Looking at the knife in his hand, Dumb could not help but smile bitterly. Thinking back to when he was in the small city of Ninuo in the Tenjin Empire, he used a similar knife to steal things. He did not expect to make a small energy knife now. Was he going back to his old trade?
Tiangang Kensei was very satisfied with the speed of Dumb's improvement. He felt that Dumb was not as dull as he looked on the surface. He had a very high level of understanding. To be able to understand the essence of the Life-Changing Cultivation Method in such a short time was already a very difficult thing to do. He did not give too many pointers to Dumb. He only asked him to be more proficient in controlling the energy he conjured. The improvement of the Living Qi was not something that could be done overnight. Dumb's fingers and wrists had been very nimble since he was young. Now, he could control the energy knife with ease.
The Holy Evil opened its eyes. Its pair of golden eyes with divine power could clearly see every corner of the dark grotto. It opened its mouth, stretched, and stood up shakily. After seven days of deep sleep, it had completely absorbed the energy of the five top-grade magical crystals. There were obvious changes in its body. His body length had increased from one meter to one and a half meters. His dragon wings had also become much thicker. The most peculiar thing was that a layer of tiny gray scales had grown on his body. Although the scales were still not enough to protect his entire body, Although the scales could not protect its entire body, they could already reflect the luster of metal. It felt very hard to the touch. The seven protrusions on its back were even more obvious. At the top of the protrusions, there seemed to be a golden light shining.
The Holy Evil walked out of the grotto unsteadily. Dumb, who was sitting cross-legged on Yanshi, suddenly woke up from his meditation. The Holy Evil raised its head and looked at him. It hummed a few times.
"Ah! Xiao Xie, you're awake. "Dumb jumped down from Yanshi excitedly and hugged the Holy Evil's neck. She patted his fleshy head.
The Holy Evil rubbed itself against Dumby's body and stuck out its tongue to lick his face.
Tiangang Kensei also woke up from his meditation, his eyes flashing. He nodded slightly and said, "The Holy Evil grows really fast! In just seven days, my body has undergone such a huge change. "
The Holy Evil supported itself with its hind legs and looked at Tiangang Kensei with its clear golden eyes. It then patted its belly with its front paw. He grunted a few more times.
Dumb smiled and said, "Are you hungry? Let's go, big brother will get you something to eat. " He had already prepared food for the Holy Evil a few days ago. The temperature at the top of the mountain was very low, so the food wouldn't spoil.
The Holy Evil looked at Dumb in surprise. After eating ten servings of food, it patted its bulging belly in satisfaction and started jumping around in the grotto.
"Dumb, take it to the entrance of the grotto to play. You should start practicing Living Transformation today. "
"Yes, Grandmaster." Dumb bowed to Tiangang Kensei and walked out of the grotto with the Holy Evil. The Holy Evil was very attached to him and kept circling around him. It kept flapping its dragon wings in an attempt to fly, but it always landed with a thud, its face covered in dirt. However, its body was really tough, and it would stand up again after a few rolls.
Walking out of the grotto, Dumb channeled Living Vital Qi. The white light blocked the attack of the fog for him. Dumb took a deep breath and stretched out his right hand. He kept channeling the liquid Vital Qi in his body to his palm. A white light appeared first. Under the surprised gaze of the Holy Evil, the white light gradually grew and became a white solid the size of an egg. Under the control of Dumb's mind, the white solid gradually changed shape and finally became a small knife that was five inches long and half an inch wide. It looked exactly the same as the one Dumb used to steal. Dumb's five fingers on his right hand vibrated flexibly, and the knife made of solid Living Vital Qi danced up and down his palm.
The Holy Evil used its big golden eyes to stare at Dumb's palm. Its front claws followed the movements of Dumb's hand and kept gesturing as if it was imitating him.
Dumby focused all of his attention on controlling the knife in his hand. Over the past few days, he had become more and more familiar with the technique of controlling the Living Change. Although the energy wasn't very strong, under his control, the energy knife could easily pierce through anything. Within a range of five meters, with the combination of his mind power and Living Combat Aura, he could completely control the release and withdrawal of solid energy.
"Xiao Xie, stay here and don't move. Otherwise, I won't hurt you. "As he said that, Dumb's body floated ten meters away, and a Cold Light flashed in his eyes." Go. " The white energy knife floated up, and under Dumb's control, it kept flying around his body. Every movement of Dumb's would cause the knife to change. For a moment, the knife became a white light, and it kept interweaving into a faint net of light around Dumb.
The Holy Evil was bored by itself. It did not want to go against Dumb's words, so it sat on the ground and picked up a palm-sized stone with its front claws. It kept playing with it. After a while, the Holy Evil suddenly revealed a faint evil smile. Its body swayed, and the stone in its hand flew towards Dumb.
Although Dumb was in the middle of training, he had already reached the sixth stage of Living Transformation. His senses were extremely sharp, and when he saw the stone thrown by the Holy Evil, he did not panic. Under the control of his five fingers, the white energy knife seemed to be guided by a few invisible strings. With a flash of light, the stone had turned into a pile of stone powder when it was within five meters of Dumb, and disappeared under the blowing of the mountain.
The Holy Evil opened its mouth wide, and its eyes blinked, as if it could not believe what had just happened. Dumb was amused by its expression, and his control over his hand weakened. Under the effect of inertia, the energy knife suddenly flew out of his hand. Dumb was shocked. That was 40% of his strength! He quickly jumped up and chased after the energy knife. Just as he was panicking, a white silk-like fighting energy flew out of his hand, and caught up with the knife in front of him like lightning. It wrapped around the hilt and pulled it back.
Landing on the ground, Dumby looked at the energy thread in his hand and was surprised to find that it was also a solid form of energy. However, because the energy thread was very thin, it only consumed about 10% of his power even though it was three feet long. One end of the energy thread had already fused into the hilt of the energy knife. Dumb once again controlled the knife to fly. Under the control of the energy thread, the knife could now fly around his body within a radius of ten meters. Although it was a little more difficult to control it, because of the traction of the energy thread, the attack range suddenly increased by more than double.
Tiangang Kensei walked out of nowhere, and looked at Dumb excitedly controlling the energy that he had created, and could not help but smile. This child's improvement was really beyond his imagination! He had seen how the Holy Evil threw the stone just now. With a wave of his hand, dozens of small stones floated up from the ground. Under the gaze of the Holy Evil, the stones flew towards Dumb like lightning.
Dumb was practicing with full concentration. Suddenly, he felt a huge pressure coming towards him, and quickly waved the energy knife behind him. With a poof, a stone turned into ashes under the power of the energy knife. However. However, more stones flew towards him.
Dumb was shocked, and activated the vital energy in his body with all his strength. His body retreated while blocking the stone attack. Under the white light, the energy knife flew up and down, and with a series of poof sounds, most of the stones disappeared under the attack of the living energy. However. But there were still three or four stones that hit Dumb. Although Tiangang Kensei did not use much strength, and Dumb had the vital energy to protect his body, he still cried out in pain.
Tiangang Kensei shouted, "Your defense net is too big, and your strength is too scattered." As he said that, dozens of stones flew towards Dumb. After Dumby heard the Celestial Dipper Sword Saint's instructions, he hurriedly retracted the energy strands and controlled the energy knife to a range of three meters in front of him. He endured the immense pain in his body and prepared to receive the next round of attacks.
At this moment, something strange happened. The Holy Evil, who was sitting at the side, suddenly stood up, and its eyes shone brightly. It opened its dragon mouth, and a gray energy with a faint evil aura floated out. The stones in the air disappeared when they came into contact with the gray energy without making a sound. In an instant, most of the second round of attacks from Tiangang Kensei were destroyed, and the remaining stones were completely disintegrated under Dumb's defense. Tiangang Kensei and Dumb were stunned, and both of them looked at the Holy Evil at the same time.
The Holy Evil sat down again, and looked a little tired. It was obvious that the gray energy just now had consumed a lot of its strength.
Dumb floated to the side of Tiangang Kensei, and asked in surprise, "Grandmaster, what did Xiao Xie just spit out?"
Tiangang Kensei smiled bitterly, "Just like you, it's my first time coming into contact with a creature like a dragon. If you don't know, how would I know? Just ask it. "
Dumb moved to the side of the Holy Evil, and patted its big head, "Xiao Xie, what did you spit out just now? It seems to be very powerful." The Holy Evil blinked, and no one knew what it was saying, which made Dumb confused. The Holy Evil seemed to be very anxious, and it opened its mouth again towards the clouds in the distance. With a puff, it spat out another gray energy, but it was much less than the last time. When the clouds came into contact with the gray energy, they instantly disappeared. If Yanshi came into contact with even a little bit of it, he would immediately melt into a large piece. After the energy was spat out, he immediately fell to the ground, panting, and gradually closed his eyes.
This time, Tiangang Kensei saw it clearly. He felt the fluctuations of the energy, and frowned, "The energy he spat out is very corrosive. The stones just now should have been instantly corroded. The Holy Evil is still too young now. When it grows up, this gray dragon flame will probably be even more powerful. Dumb, you have to be careful in the future. Don't come into contact with this energy, or else your body will probably disappear like the stones just now. However, you have the Fighting Energy to protect you. Unless the Holy Evil's strength is stronger than yours, it will not be able to hurt you. It seems that the strength of a dragon is indeed terrifying. It has only been born for seven days, and it already has such strong strength. When it becomes an adult, who knows what surprises it will bring to us. It seems that it is very tired. Carry it back to the grotto. Remember, when controlling the Living Energy, your defense must be impenetrable, and you must attack bravely. Overwhelm the opponent with your momentum, and then you will be invincible. "
"Yes, Grandmaster." Dumb carried the Holy Evil and quickly walked into the grotto. The Holy Evil looked very tired, and when Dumb carried it, it had already fallen asleep.
The Living Energy was divided into seven transformations. Each transformation would change the color of the solid energy emitted by the cultivator. The first transformation was to condense the liquid vital energy in the body into a solid. As long as the solid energy was successfully maintained, it would be a success. The first transformation would be white, and as the energy deepened, the white solid energy would gradually turn yellow. Then it would be light green, light blue, light purple, silver, and finally gold. The Celestial Dipper Sword Saint was currently at the sixth transformation. Although he was the one who created the Living Energy, he had not been able to reach the highest state that he had imagined. The first two transformations of the Living Energy could be gradually achieved after reaching the sixth level of the Living Energy Mantra. However, from the third transformation onwards, it would require the support of even more powerful vital energy, and would only be able to gradually change after reaching the ninth level. Tiangang Kensei was very talented. When he was young, he had obtained the cultivation method of the Living Energy Mantra. After nearly 70 years of hard work, he had only reached the ninth level. Without Tiangang Kensei's guidance and guidance, even if Dumb had the energy support of the Rebirth Fruit, no matter how hard he worked, he would not be able to reach the ninth level before the age of 60. It was also impossible for him to reach the ninth level.
Over the past six months, under Tiangang Kensei's guidance, Dumb's abilities in all aspects had greatly improved. Tiangang Kensei had also passed on ten percent of his skills to Dumb. As a result, Dumb successfully broke through to the seventh realm of the [Birth Technique], greatly increasing his power. Dumb's [Shapeshifting] had already reached the second transformation realm, and he could create many things. He was also much more adept at controlling it, and it was rare for him to fail. Tiangang Kensei once told him that when one's martial arts reached a certain level, techniques were not important anymore. Good techniques could save more energy. At first, Tiangang Kensei wanted to teach Dumb some complicated sword techniques, but he found that Dumb's ability to learn moves was really not flattering. Often, after learning one move with great difficulty, when he was learning another move, he had almost forgotten the previous move. The repeated changes were not something he could remember at all. After teaching for less than a week, Tiangang Kensei gave up. He understood that Dumb would never become a skillful master in his lifetime. He had to extend his meditation time to fourteen hours a day, in order to deepen his power. Now, in one day and one night, Dumb could already successfully circulate the energy in his body for eighty-one cycles. Under the effect of the Reincarnation Fruit and Tiangang Kensei's input of power, his progress could only be described as a thousand miles a day. It was only a matter of time before he reached the eighth realm of the [Birth Technique].
From the second month onwards, the first thing Dumb did when he woke up from his meditation was to go down the mountain. He ran from the top to the foot of the mountain, and then climbed back. Tiangang Kensei only gave him one hour to climb six thousand meters above sea level. In the beginning, not to mention one hour, Dumb could not come back even if he had three hours. When he finally came back, he could not practice anything else due to the excessive consumption of energy in his body. The reason why Tiangang Kensei let him climb the mountain was very simple. Dumb was too slow, and it was very easy for him to be at a disadvantage when fighting with others. His current power was not high, so he must first practice the ability to escape. Although Dumb was stupid, he was an obedient child. No matter how hard the training was, he never complained about being tired. When Tiangang Kensei gave him another ten percent of his power in the fourth month, he could barely make a round trip to Tiangang Mountain in an hour. Now, his speed had reached a level that Tiangang Kensei was satisfied with.
Dumb, who had reached the second transformation of the [Birth Technique], could now successfully transform a three-foot long sword into his own weapon. He had long been deeply attracted by the ability of the [Birth Technique]. As long as he was not meditating, he was almost always studying how to make more changes in his [Birth Technique] and make it more useful.
The little dragon, Holy Evil, had grown at an alarming rate in the past six months. Although it did not have any high-energy food to provide it, it had already grown to more than three meters long. With its unremitting efforts, it could spread its huge dragon wings, which were almost as long as its body, and could already carry its huge body into the air. It was just that it could not last long. After half a year of growth, the Holy Evil had already begun to take the shape of a dragon. Seven golden horns drilled out of the seven protrusions on its back. The horns were clearly still in their infancy, and they looked as tender as bamboo shoots. They weren't hard, but they looked exceptionally mighty. Gray scales covered his entire body. The scales were abnormally tough, and even the Celestial Dipper Sword Saint was afraid of his other abilities. Even so, he now possessed powerful physical attacks. Ordinary Dou Qi would not be able to harm his scale-covered body.
Dumb and the Holy Evil had been together for half a year, and they had become closer. The Holy Evil was almost always by his side. When Dumb was meditating, it would sleep. When Dumb was practicing the [Birth Technique], it would play by the side. It would often flap its dragon wings and send sand and stones flying on the mountain top to test the defensive ability of Dumb's [Birth Technique]. Ever since it could fly. Every morning, the Holy Evil would flap its dragon wings and go down the mountain with Dumb. After all, it could fly, and when it went down the mountain, it was much faster than Dumb. But when it came to the top of the mountain, it would often fall behind Dumb. Its dragon wings were not enough to support its heavy body to a height of six thousand meters, and it would often need to rest a few times before it could fly back up the mountain. There was almost no one in the back mountain of Tiangang Mountain. Otherwise, if others saw this shocking flying dragon, I'm afraid …
Perhaps it was the effect of the [Birth Technique], Dumb's skills had increased rapidly in the past six months. Compared to half a year ago, he looked much more handsome, and his solemn aura was unmistakable. He looked simple and honest with a sense of steadiness, and he already had the demeanor of an expert.
In the morning, a smoke-like figure leaped out of the stone fog. He didn't make a single sound, and the uneven terrain around him didn't pose any hindrance to him. Like a wisp of green smoke, he rushed down the steep back mountain. Behind him, a huge figure flew up and followed. It swooped down from the top of the mountain, but when it was too fast, it could not move at all. Only when it was too fast would it flap its wings to reduce the momentum. In a short while, it had already surpassed the gray figure from before, and the two figures rushed down the mountain like lightning. They were Dumb, who had been cultivating in Tiangang Mountain for half a year, and his friend, the Golden-eyed Holy Evil Dragon, who was already half a year old. The two of them began their essential morning lessons again.
The surrounding scenery kept flowing past Dumb. Ever since he got used to running in the morning, this speed made him feel unusually comfortable. The [Birth Technique] enveloped his entire body, and the strong wind that was blowing in his face was constantly deflected, and it did not affect Dumb's running speed at all. Seeing that the Holy Evil had overtaken him, Dumb could not help but feel excited. The [Birth Technique] in his body, which had already become sticky, was activated to its limit. His entire body emitted a thick white light, and he constantly tapped on the mountain to reduce his momentum as he rushed down like a bolt of lightning. Every time he ran, he would fall behind and only catch up to the Holy Evil when he was almost at the top of the mountain. He clearly knew that after a period of time, when the Holy Evil's wings could completely support its body weight, he would not be able to catch up to it anymore.
When Dumb was about a thousand meters away from the foot of the mountain, he suddenly realized that the Holy Evil had stopped in its tracks. It folded its wings and stood under a big tree on the mountain. Dumb floated to the side of the Holy Evil, and said while slightly panting, "Xiao Xie, what's wrong? Did you find anything? " The Holy Evil was a carnivorous dragon. The same situation had happened a few times before, and it was always some big beasts that were discovered by it. Those beasts naturally became delicacies in its stomach. Under the sunlight, the seven golden horns on the back of the Holy Evil shone brightly, and its golden eyes revealed a cautious look, as if it was searching for something. Even a ferocious tiger would be afraid of the Holy Evil's natural coercion. This was the first time that Dumb had seen the Holy Evil reveal such a cautious look, and he could not help but feel a little strange.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound. The Holy Evil suddenly took a few steps back and raised one of its front claws. Its dragon head shook slightly in the direction of the sound, and its big eyes flashed coldly, as if it was ready to attack at any time.
Although Dumby didn't understand what was going on, he still cautiously activated the Pure Qi in his body. A yellow light shone, and a solid energy sword gradually emerged from Dumby's palm. The sword was three feet long, and it was shining with light. It contained a huge amount of energy.
A hissing sound rang out, and a huge snake head drilled out from the bushes not far away. The snake head's diameter was more than half a meter, and its red tongue was constantly flicking in and out. Its body was covered with dense dark blue scales, and a pair of red eyes flickered with a cold light. Behind the snake head was a body that was as thick as a bucket, and its eyes flickered with an ominous glint, as if it was afraid of the Holy Evil. No matter how powerful a snake was, it was still a snake. It was born to fear the most powerful creature in the world, the dragon.
The Holy Evil was also afraid of its opponent, and it kept growling. It spread its wings and roared softly, as if it was ready to give its opponent a fatal blow at any time.
When Dumby saw the appearance of the giant snake, he couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. He never thought that there would be such a ferocious beast in Tian Gang Mountain. Although only half of the giant snake's body was revealed, it was already seven or eight meters long. Its huge body was constantly shaking, as if it was looking for the Holy Evil's weakness. It obviously did not think much of the 'tiny' Dumb.
The Holy Evil made the first move. It flapped its dragon wings and suddenly opened its mouth, and a gray energy instantly shot out at the giant snake. There was a look of horror in the giant snake's eyes. It opened its mouth, and a pink gas with a strong fragrance came out. There was a sizzling sound when the fog and the gray light came into contact. It disappeared almost at the same time.
Dumb accidentally breathed in some of the red fog that the giant snake had spat out. He immediately felt dizzy and was shocked. He quickly activated the vital energy in his body to expel the poisonous gas from his body.
When the giant snake saw that the poisonous gas it had spat out could block the Holy Evil's attack, the fear in its eyes disappeared. It opened its mouth, revealing its sharp teeth, and viciously slithered toward Dumb and the Holy Evil.
Dumb floated up, turned into a green smoke, and landed on the back of the giant snake. Although he did not want to kill, the giant snake looked too ferocious. He did not want any humans to die under its huge mouth. The yellow energy sword stabbed into the back of the giant snake without hesitation. The giant serpent seemed to have sensed the danger it was in. It swung its body with all its might. The energy sword formed from the True Qi was invincible, although the giant serpent's tough scales had blocked it. Although the giant snake's tough scales blocked it, the yellow light still entered its back.
The giant snake's body shook violently, and its body twisted violently. The giant snake's tail suddenly swept forward towards Dumb, who was on its back. Dumb did not dare to block it head-on. He kept the energy sword, floated up, and dodged the giant snake's attack. Although the energy sword had pierced into the giant snake's body, it had expended a lot of energy. The dark blue scales on the giant snake's body were unusually tough. If Dumb had not attacked with all his strength, it would have been difficult to penetrate its defense.
The giant snake was obviously seriously injured. Its body kept twisting, and blue blood kept flowing out of its wounds. Puffs of pink poisonous gas kept coming out, and Dumb and the Holy Evil did not dare to get close. The surrounding plants, which came into contact with the poisonous gas, immediately withered.
Dumb knew that although the sword had successfully pierced into the giant snake's body, it did not cause any serious injury. There seemed to be a powerful force in the giant snake's body. When the energy sword pierced into the giant snake's body, the force deflected the sword so that it could not damage the giant snake's bones and meridians. Under the intense pain, the giant snake was enraged. Its body began to shake violently. Within a radius of dozens of meters, sand and pebbles were sent flying. Large swathes of plants disappeared under its huge body. Dumby finally saw the full appearance of the giant snake. The giant snake was nearly 30 meters long. Even from dozens of meters away, Dumby could still feel the strong wind from its body. The Holy Evil flapped its wings and suddenly flew up. It turned out that the pink poisonous gas had already spread. Dumb did not dare to delay. He floated up and landed on a tree that was tens of meters tall behind him.
The giant snake gradually calmed down. Its body coiled into a snake formation, and it looked at Dumb and the Holy Evil fiercely. The Holy Evil was not afraid of the enemy's strength. It let out a long growl, as if it was unusually excited.
Dumb summoned the Black Iron Bow from the Blood of the Dragon God. Although his archery skills were not great, it was still easy for him to shoot such a huge target. He clearly knew that with his skills, he could only shoot three energy arrows. The giant snake's body was so big that if he could not hit its vital parts, it would be difficult to cause any damage.
Although Dumb had injured the giant snake, it still regarded the Holy Evil as its main enemy. It kept raising its head and spitting out poisonous gas. The Holy Evil was not in a hurry to attack this powerful enemy. It flew to a place where the poisonous gas could not reach and circled. The giant snake's poisonous gas was obviously the same as the Holy Evil's dragon flames. At this time, the poisonous gas was gradually thinning. Through the gradually dissipating poisonous gas, the snake's body could be clearly seen.
Dumby stood steadily at the top of the tree and activated the Pure Qi in his body. A yellow solid energy arrow appeared. He gave a loud shout and the Pure Qi suddenly burst forth. Under the cover of the white light, he pulled the darksteel bow into a full moon shape. His Qi was locked onto the head of the giant snake. The amazing momentum made the giant snake panic. It clearly felt that the human on the tree who had hurt it was a threat of death. The giant snake shrank back into the snake's formation and looked in Dumb's direction with vigilance.
Naturally, the Holy Evil would not let go of this opportunity. It quietly flew to a place where the giant snake could not see it and suddenly swooped down, heading straight for the giant snake's big head. The giant snake felt the danger and shrank its head back. It opened its bloody mouth and was ready to bite the Holy Evil. Seeing that there was no chance, the Holy Evil flapped its wings and flew up again. Its heart was filled with anger. Although this giant snake had lived here for tens of thousands of years and had a high level of cultivation, it was still just a snake. If the Holy Evil had grown its body, it would not have cared about it at all. However, it was still in the growth stage and there was a certain gap between it and the giant snake.
The giant snake scared the Holy Evil away, but it also gave Dumb an opportunity. He aimed at the giant snake's big head and loosened his right hand. A yellow light flashed and disappeared. The energy arrow that Dumb shot contained explosive energy. With a loud bang, the giant snake's body suddenly rolled over. The arrow blew a huge hole in its tail and one-fifth of its body was blown off. It turned out that when Dumb shot the energy arrow, the giant snake felt the threat of death. Although the arrow was not very accurate and the position was a little lower than what he had expected, it would still be difficult for the giant snake to survive if it was shot in the chest. As a last resort, it could only raise its tail to block the energy arrow. The energy arrow that had been transformed exerted great power under the effect of the Black Iron Bow. Not only did it penetrate the giant snake's scales, but it also suddenly exploded in its body, blowing up a part of its body.
