Alienated Martial Arts

One punch.

A sudden strong wind blew up and screamed again and again.

From the courtyard to the front door, the distance is reached in a blink of an eye.

The young man surrounded by everyone had just retracted his hands into his sleeves when he was shocked and dumbfounded by the sudden change.

Because of the sudden great fear, his mind was almost blank.

The young man stood there blankly, even forgetting to take out the magic talisman from his sleeve.

But to take a step back, even if he didn't forget, he still lost enough reaction time.

He could only watch helplessly as the figure appeared in front of him like a ghost without any warning, tearing the air and punching him in the head.

boom!

From top to bottom, the Skyshaft Hammer suddenly crashed down.

However, the fist posture changed midway, and the strength and softness were quietly switched.

It’s no longer a one-hit wonder, but a pull-string.

Then, just before it was about to be truly stamped on the opponent's body, Wei Tao stopped even using the string hammer.

He turned his fist into a palm and gently pulled it to the side.

While putting the young man down, he easily pulled off the jade pendant on his waist and the two talismans hidden in his sleeves.

Uh-huh!

After the blow, Wei Tao silently retreated to his original position.

Standing exactly in front of the shot, there is no difference even in the placement of your feet.

Looking at the people in a dilemma, Wei Tao felt a little lost for no reason.

According to what he learned from the memory fragments, he knew that these registered disciples who had not yet truly become Talisman Masters, or even had no entry level, actually had no real strength.

So after seeing the jade pendant, he would use words to provoke each other and play a game with the other party.

Before starting the competition, he thought that although they did not have the strength to take advantage of them, since they could make two kinds of talismans, the spiritual sword and the spiritual shield, they might still pose some threat to him anyway.

Therefore, he formulated a plan to strike first, attack the enemy unprepared, and escape with one strike.

However, the development of things was completely beyond Wei Tao's expectations.

He was prepared to strike preemptively.

But he didn't expect that one shot would kill someone.

This young man who speaks loudly and is very humorous has no ability at all. He simply has no ability at all.

Not ready for battle.

Neither does the reaction speed.

It’s even worse to have a last-minute mentality.

In short, nothing is good in his eyes. There is no flaw or vital point in his body.

If he hadn't stopped just now, he would have been hit with a giant hammer.

He was afraid that he would have to pack up and run away soon, while the others would get their bowls and chopsticks ready to eat.

"You, you actually gave yourself the Power Talisman and the Speed ​​Talisman in advance?"

The young man turned pale and gasped, "It turns out that you have been hiding in the house these days, secretly practicing these two charms. I actually underestimated you before."

Wei Tao thought for a while and finally matched the names of the people in front of him one by one.

"Bai Tan, if you are not convinced, I can compete with you again as long as I can make the same bet."

He rubbed the inconspicuous-looking jade pendant in his hand, feeling the mysterious aura inside, and a gentle smile appeared on his face again.

"I'll come back to you, but not now."

Bai Brown took a deep look, turned around and left without hesitation, without stopping for a moment.

Several other people lowered their heads and followed quickly and quietly, not even daring to look face to face.

The last one even closed the courtyard door carefully, completely unlike the provocative attitude he had when he came here just now.

Wei Tao watched several people leave and directly opened the status bar.

"Discover Tongyou White Jade, whether to transform it and absorb it."

This time, he did not hesitate and directly chose yes.

Uh-huh...

The status bar suddenly becomes blurry.

With a sudden light on his hand, Tongyou White Jade disappeared.

The ding-dong sound echoed quietly in the depths of consciousness.

People can't help but be immersed in it.

Tongyou Baiyu provided a total of eleven gold coins.

Therefore, after one trip, the total number of gold coins in the status bar has returned to eighty-eight, which is one more than before practicing Red Line Fist.

"The old won't go away, and the new won't come. You have to spend the money you earn to feel at ease."

"Now that you have practiced the Red Line Boxing, let's just practice the Mountain Crossing Kick. This will be a model of coordination between the hands and feet and the whole body."

"If possible, the secret method of Vajra can also be included in the practice plan to add a little more safety to yourself."

In the following period, except for going out in the middle of the night, Wei Tao stayed at home all day long and practiced the cross-legged legs to the highest level of perfection.

As for the secret method of Vajra, he passed through the three realms of copper skin and iron bones, cutting off hair and cleaning marrow, and making the inside and outside the same in one breath, and came to the door of the three levels of breaking the law.

The combination of red line fist, double line training, mountain kicking, and almost invulnerability to break the law, coupled with the rich experience of practicing fighting all the way, finally brought him a little safety. feel.

Wei Tao stopped at this moment.

Although there are still more than 70 gold coins left in the status bar, he has temporarily given up his plans to continue improving.

Because if you want to take another step forward, you need to enter the profound sense to capture the profound thoughts of Vajra.

As for the world where Lingyin Mountain is located, he still doesn't know how to advance to this stage.

Dong dong dong...

At this moment, there was a knock on the courtyard door outside.

The sound is very rhythmic, not too loud, and sounds very polite.

Wei Tao left the room and quickly came to the courtyard.

He glanced out through the crack in the door.

There were two people standing in front of the door.

One of them is white brown.

The other one is a woman.

She looked to be a few years older. She was wearing clothes only for official disciples of Lingyin Mountain, and she seemed to be carrying a charm plate several inches in diameter. She could be distinguished from their registered disciples at a glance.

"She is most likely a Talisman Master."

"So, the younger one is beaten, and the older one comes again?"

Wei Tao narrowed his eyes slightly, and several thoughts flashed through his mind.

His feet were clasped on the ground, and his hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched into fists. The energy and blood in his body surged faster, and his true strength was ready to go out. In an instant, he was ready to strike violently.

They have even begun to imagine how to play after communication fails, and even the best route to escape.

There was a soft squeaking sound.

Wei Tao moved gently and opened the courtyard door little by little.

Gudong!

Bai Brown swallowed subconsciously.

He stood outside the door in a daze, staring at the strong man who squeezed out from the door frame. The hairs all over his body suddenly stood up, and his back even felt a little wet in an instant.

The young woman standing at the side and behind couldn't help but narrow her eyes and raised her hand to hold the charm plate at her waist.

"You, who are you?"

Bai Brown tried to calm down his tone, "Where's Xiao Su? Isn't this where Xiao Su lives?"

"I am Xiao Su."

Wei Tao lowered his head and looked down, trying his best to show a gentle smile.

Bai Brown shook his head and murmured to himself, "It's impossible. Although your face has some similarities with Su Mo, the difference in size is too big. It's impossible for him to be Su Mo himself."

"I am Su Mo, the real Su Mo."

Wei Tao grinned, and the smile on his face became stiffer.

"Maybe it's due to the secondary growth during puberty. I've been hungry lately, so I eat more and grow faster, which makes me feel helpless, but there's nothing I can do about it. I can only bear it silently."

"Something still feels wrong."

Bai Brown thought for a moment, then suddenly his eyes widened, "Where is your hair?"

"Is there something wrong with your hair? There's nothing wrong with it."

Wei Tao raised his hand and wiped his bright bald head, "Firstly, I thought it was too troublesome to take care of my long hair, and secondly, I didn't like my hair competing with my body for nutrients, so I shaved it off."

After a pause, he continued, "I wonder why Senior Brother Bai and this Senior Sister came to look for me?"

The female Talisman Master took a step forward and said, "Let me introduce you. I am Bai Tan's sister Bai Xie. Junior Brother Su should have heard of my name before."

With the accurate hint, Wei Tao quickly matched the name with the person.

He nodded and bowed slightly, "It turns out to be Senior Sister Bai, whose name I have admired for a long time."

Bai Xie coughed lightly and said slowly, carefully considering his words, "Junior brother Su, don't be nervous. I have nothing special to do here this time. I mainly want to bring my brother to apologize to you."

"Xiao Brown didn't speak wisely. He probably offended Junior Brother Su. This is our fault. We hope Junior Brother doesn't mind."

At this point, she took out a jade pendant and placed it in her open palm, "This is an apology to Junior Brother Su. If you don't dislike it, just accept it. We can all be considered strangers, so we can make friends in the future." Closer friends.”

Looking at the white jade handed to him, Wei Tao was even a little confused for a moment.

I can't understand why things would develop like this.

He did not reach out to take the jade pendant, but bowed slightly and said, "Senior Sister Bai is too polite. There is no conflict between Bai Brown and I, it's just some joking.

The matter is over as it is, and to bother the senior sister to come and make peace with her in person is really shameful and I don't know what to say. "

"Since it's for you, Junior Brother Su can just take it."

Bai Yan directly put the jade pendant into Wei Tao's hand, and the smile on his face became more intense.

"If I remember correctly, you are about to conduct the registered disciple assessment. Junior Brother Su has mastered the two talismans of great strength and speed, and he will definitely stand out and become an official disciple.

When the time comes, we are both Talisman Masters from Qiyang City, so we will naturally be a little closer than others. We should communicate with each other and help each other, so that we can truly gain a firm foothold on Lingyin Mountain.

Also, those demonic cultivators have become more and more powerful in recent years. Only by becoming official disciples of Lingyin Mountain and practicing hard and diligently can we have the ability to protect ourselves and our families. "

Wei Tao listened silently, but felt a strange feeling in his heart. .

It seems that no matter where you are, nepotism among fellow villagers who hug together for warmth is inevitable.

Unfortunately, the Bai siblings were mistaken.

He never learned the Great Power and Speed ​​Charm at all.

Rather, he is a Qi-blood warrior who practices hard.

Up until this moment, he had barely made any progress in his practice of talismans, and he didn't know if he could master a talisman before the test and pass the test.

Dark clouds gathered and thunder rumbled.

Big raindrops fell pattering down.

Soon the world will be connected.

Cold wind mixed with rain came in, and the warm and comfortable room suddenly became cold and damp.

Wei Tao closed the doors and windows, lit the candle, and once again immersed himself in learning the introductory spells of Lingyin Mountain.

Unlike the Great Talisman Master who can form talismans out of nothing, novices like him must also use various specific materials to connect the spirit with talisman pens, guide spiritual power, and draw on specific talisman paper.

When you can complete a certain spell in one go, you will be considered to have reached the standards of Lingyin Mountain, and you can be promoted to a formal disciple and start deeper learning.

After preparing the materials one by one, Wei Tao spread out the blank talisman papers and soaked them. Wei Tao held his breath and concentrated, drank a cup of concoction, and began to adjust his breath to brew his spiritual power.

Time passed little by little.

About half an hour later.

He stood up from his seat and took out the talismans to dry.

Then he picked up the talisman pen and dipped it into the red ink that exuded a strong bloody smell.

He holds a pen in one hand and a talisman in the other.

Hook Lian's spirit and imperial spiritual power slowly carved the first stroke on the talisman paper.

Except for the wrist and pen tip, the rest of the body is motionless, as if transformed into a lifeless sculpture.

Suddenly, without any warning, a ball of fire exploded under the pen tip.

The talisman paper ignited spontaneously without fire and soon turned into ashes.

Wei Tao felt no fluctuation in his heart. He brushed off the burnt black on his palms, took another piece of talisman paper, and started a new round of writing.

He is not afraid of failure, and he is not as easily injured as other new disciples. As long as he has enough materials, he can persist until he can successfully draw a spell.

Time flies.

Thunder rumbled outside and rain poured heavily.

Fire burst out from time to time inside the house, complementing the lightning outside.

Until the sky was getting brighter, Wei Tao suddenly felt blessed.

The spiritual and spiritual power blended seamlessly, and the writing was like a divine aid, and the spiritual shield talisman was completed in one stroke.

"It will be time for the assessment in three days."

"Fortunately, I used the silk threads countless times to outline the true meaning and condense the true spirit to perceive the mysterious thoughts. Although it is not a one-size-fits-all method, it also laid a solid foundation for this practice.

In this way, it took only such a short time to learn the spiritual shield spell under almost a blank situation. "

Wei Tao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

After successfully drawing the talisman with strokes, he still had to infuse spiritual power into the talisman paper when casting it again. Following the one-to-one correspondence of the lines and lines, it seemed to him that it was still a bit troublesome, and he didn't know what the experience of drawing the talisman in the void would be like.

But then, it’s time to truly improve your efforts.

Although this time's success does not mean that the next time will be as smooth and satisfactory.

But for him, as long as he succeeds once, it is almost equivalent to succeeding a hundred times.

Quietly, the status bar appeared in front of me.

Name: Spiritual Shield Talisman.

Progress: Introduction to Talismans.

Description: Basic talismans of Lingyin Mountain.

"Whether to consume a gold coin to increase the progress of spiritual shield spell practice."

"yes."

Uh-huh!

The status bar suddenly becomes blurry.

A gold coin disappeared silently.

The mysterious aura began to slowly flow into the body like a trickle.

Changes come inadvertently, then quickly reach their peak, until they gradually cease.

Wei Tao closed his eyes and carefully explored his perception.

Then put in the second gold coin to start the change that just ended again.

Then the third, the fourth, the fifth.

Until the night passes and day comes.

The heavy rain turned into fine raindrops.

Wei Tao finally slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Uh-huh! ! !

He raised his hands at the same time.

The left and right index fingers and middle fingers are raised together, the fingertips light up with a faint spiritual light, and the lines of runes are carved in the air like lightning.

It only took a moment for the two spiritual shield talismans to take shape, emitting a faint cyan light in the dim room.

Next, he used both hands to draw more than twenty spiritual shield charms in one go, and then stopped.

Uh-huh!

Suddenly all the spells shined brightly, turning into green light shields surrounding the body.

Wei Tao held his breath and concentrated, his mind moved.

In an instant, more than twenty spiritual shields began to move and rotate, changing into various formations according to his thoughts.

Time passed little by little.

Until about a quarter of an hour later.

The spiritual shield gradually faded until it completely disappeared.

"This is the spiritual shield spell that breaks the limit of eighteen levels. Apart from the fact that it can be drawn in the void, and the resulting shield is larger and thicker than the white and brown one, there seems to be nothing special about it.

The defensive power obtained from the key is also average, even worse than the Henglian physical body that breaks through the third level of the law. It seems that the eight gold coins after reaching the realm are wasted. "

"Spirit and spiritual power have improved somewhat, especially spiritual power. From the beginning, it seemed to be nothing, to now..."

"kindness!?"

"No, spiritual power is not the key."

Wei Tao narrowed his eyes suddenly, and a light flashed in his eyes.

"What is really important is the improvement of mental power."

"Spiritual power corresponds to the true spirit and soul. The stronger the mental power is, it means that the true spirit and soul are also strengthening and growing."

"Practicing the way of talismans also has the benefit of strengthening the true spirit and soul?"

"Then, if I delve deeply into the talismans as a grand master of the Yangji Xuan Realm, can I directly break the barrier and continue to improve my martial arts level?"

After picking up the cold tea and drinking it down in one gulp, Wei Tao calmed down his somewhat ups and downs while looking back and comparing the various details of his original martial arts training.

After a long time, he slowly exhaled a breath and discovered the problem that he had ignored until now.

That is, in the process of martial arts practice, as the level of strength continues to increase, the true soul actually also increases accordingly.

One of the most obvious pieces of evidence is the impact that Xiyue Illustration has had on oneself.

When the level of strength is low, he is often eroded by delusions, and many times even reaches the edge of being intolerable.

After the interaction between heaven and man became a master, the impact of the Xiyue Illustration on the spirit gradually faded until it finally disappeared.

Therefore, as a grand master above the Yang Ji Xuan Realm, his true soul has reached the limit of the load it can bear. Even if he practices spells, he may not be able to break through the barrier and solve the problems he faces.

"I thought I had discovered a treasure, but it turned out that my joy was in vain."

Wei Tao sighed secretly, made another talisman in the void, and drew twenty-four spiritual shields in one breath.

Then control them to fly up and down, circle left and right, and transform into various formations in a space that is not too large.

Suddenly, something moved in his heart, and all the spiritual shields instantly went out of control.

He smashed tables, chairs, wooden beds, and even made a big hole in the ground.

A few more hit him, exploding into a ball of blue light.

Wei Tao was unaware of this, just immersed in thinking.

"This distraction becomes stronger and merges with the true spirit after returning. Shouldn't the overall strength also increase accordingly?"

"No matter how much or how little the improvement is, as long as it can be enhanced, it is already a breakthrough."

"So, regardless of whether I can find the secret left behind by Mother Xi this time, my trip is considered worthwhile. At least I have discovered that Void Zongheng is the greatest help to me."

Three days later.

The assessment for registered disciples of Lingyin Mountain has officially begun.

Before dawn, Wei Tao finished packing and went out, and walked quickly towards the assessment site with Bai Brown who was waiting outside.

"Junior Brother Su, don't worry, my sister has taken care of everything in advance."

"As long as you and I can successfully draw a talisman, we can be directly taken away by the elder named by my sister and enter the sect of the same lineage."

"Even if we failed the first two times, we don't need to be nervous. With the face of Elder Feng, we will definitely be given a third chance..."

Bai Brown kept chattering along the way.

Although the weather had turned cooler after the autumn rain, there was a layer of sweat on his forehead, and his legs seemed a little weak while walking on the stone steps in the mountains.

"Senior Brother Bai, are you a little nervous?"

Wei Tao smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, you are so proficient in the Spirit Shield and Spirit Sword spells, there will be no problem."

"I, I'm not nervous at all. I'm mainly afraid that you will be nervous, Su Mo."

Bai Brown tried to calm down, but his voice couldn't stop trembling when he spoke.

Wei Tao said again, "Just don't be nervous. Are you afraid of your sister?"

"You mean Bai Zhi?"

Bai Tan glanced around, "How could I be afraid of her? It's just because she is older than me, so I keep letting her go."

"If I had been born a few years earlier than her, I would definitely be stronger now. At least I would have no problem surpassing her."

"That's right. Since Bai Xie can pass the test and you are stronger than her, you can naturally become an official disciple."

The two of them kept walking and soon arrived at the designated assessment location.

None of the other registered disciples have come yet.

Bai Brown deliberately came early because he wanted to meet Elder Feng in advance.

Firstly, to make him look familiar, and secondly, for peace of mind.

"Wait a moment."

Before entering the main hall, Wei Tao suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Bai Brown asked in confusion.

"The smell is wrong, there seems to be blood in it."

Wei Tao's nose twitched and his eyes fell on the closed palace door.

Suddenly there was a soft squeaking sound.

The palace door was opened a crack.

A middle-aged woman slowly walked out.

"I thought someone named Feng came over, but it turned out to be just two little guys?"

Her lips were bright red and her face was pale, looking like a corpse with makeup on.

"Who are you?"

Wei Tao frowned slightly, sensing turbulent spiritual energy fluctuations from her body.

"She is the Snake Lady of the Demon Spirit Sect, a powerful spell master."

At this moment, an old voice slowly sounded, with a strong sense of fear and caution.

"You two walk quickly along this trail and don't look back until you get out of the mountain."

Bai Brown stood there in a daze, sweat pouring down his face, his whole body motionless, as if he had turned into a sculpture.

Wei Tao was silent for a moment, turned away with him, and quickly disappeared around the corner of the path on one side.

Mrs. Snake twisted her waist and came in a leisurely manner without even looking at the two people who were leaving quickly.

It wasn't until the two of them disappeared that she smiled faintly and said, "Since I dare to show up here, it means that the people we invited have set up a dragnet around Lingyin Mountain. Do you think they can still escape?"

"The person you invited?"

Elder Feng's pupils suddenly shrank, "Could it be that you demon spirits are not the only ones who invaded Lingyin Mountain this time?"

After heavy rain, the mountain road is slippery.

White Brown staggered and almost rolled down the stone steps several times.

In the end, Wei Tao had to carry his clothes, like a bag of goods.

After turning a corner, we passed through a bamboo forest.

Wei Tao stopped at this moment.

He put the white and brown on the roadside and looked forward expressionlessly.

"Someone really ran out of this path, so it's not in vain for me to wait here for a while."

"Well, are they just two little guys who are not even formal disciples?"

"It seems that I was happy too early, and in the end it was just an empty joy."

On the rocks not far away, a tall and sturdy figure in black robes and a black scarf cast a disappointed and boring look.

Wei Tao's hands were hidden in his sleeves and he did not move from beginning to end.

"Why don't you two little guys leave? Are you too scared by me to move?"

The man in black robe slowly stood up and moved away from the stone road he occupied, "Forget it, I'm in a pretty good mood today, so I'll spare your lives. Anyway, they're just two unqualified registered disciples. Even if they run away, they won't be able to escape." What kind of waves are there?"

Wei Tao nodded and walked forward step by step.

Twenty steps, fifteen steps, ten steps...

The distance between the two quickly closed.

"I suddenly felt hungry."

When it shortened to five steps, the strong man in black robe suddenly showed a ferocious smile, "Your meat looks relatively firm, and it should be a bit chewy to eat."

Uh-huh!

Without any warning, he raised his hand and made a talisman in the void like lightning.

In an instant, a bloody sword appeared in the void and slashed forward suddenly.

The mountain road is narrow and there is no way to dodge or avoid.

Wei Tao seemed to have no intention of retreating.

Even facing the bloody sword, he took another step forward.

boom!

Suddenly more than twenty spiritual shields appeared.

Emitting a strong cyan light, all blocked in front of the bloody sword.

"This is……"

The strong man in black robe suddenly narrowed his eyes, an expression of surprise and confusion flashed in his eyes.

Boom! ! !

But at the next moment, the spiritual shield shattered face to face, and the figure that was hidden behind was quickly revealed.

"This... you drew a talisman in the void in an instant and summoned so many shields. I thought you were such a powerful talisman master, but I was shocked."

"Is this the result?"

The strong man in black robe seemed to choke on his breath, staring at the blood-red sword that became much more unreal and suddenly slashed down.

Click! ! !

Suddenly there was a loud noise.

The bloody sword slashed at Wei Tao's chest.

The huge impact force spread out, causing a large section of the mountain road to be filled with smoke and dust.

Click.

Click, click, click!

The strong man in black robe narrowed his eyes suddenly.

It was as if I could see bloody light dissipating.

The sound fell down and disappeared quickly.

The next moment, Wei Tao's voice slowly sounded.

"Oh, your knife broke."

"You, a great talisman master, want to carry out sneak attacks on a registered disciple like me. It's simply speechless."

"But what's even more speechless is, is this your attack? Is this your determination to eat me?"

"I also want to know whether you are too weak or whether the so-called great spell masters are all so weak."
