Chapter 9

[Floating cloud step: small success 1/200]

[Water Dragon Roar: small success 1/300]

[Current experience value: 50]

The skill levels of 'Floating Cloud Steps' and 'Water Dragon Roar' have reached a small success level. He felt that he had a lot of insights about these two skills in his mind. This feeling was very mysterious as if he had been practicing these two skills for a long time, and it was hard to describe or explain.

"With these two skills, I should be able to fight those Qingxuan puppets now."

With this thought in mind, Su Chen stood up and walked out of the passage towards the underground tomb.

When Su Chen returned here again, he was no longer as nervous as he was at the beginning. He looked at the Qingxuan puppets not far away and slowly raised the magic sword in his hand.

"Come again."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was responded to by the cold eyes of the Qingxuan puppets and the ever-approaching sense of oppression.

However, unlike his embarrassment-like first time, this time he seems to be much more at ease.

Facing the attack from the first Qingxuan puppet, he dodged it easily. And he performed "Water Dragon Roar" instinctively. With this, the sword body of the magic sword began to vibrate continuously. The high-frequency vibration not only brought amazing vibration force to the magic sword but also emitted a dull sword sound.

And this... is the dragon's roar!

Looking at the nearest Qingxuan puppet, Su Chen swung his sword!

Swish!

The magic sword, which was equipped with the sharp power of Qianjin, easily broke through the hard body of the Qingxuan puppet and directly cut off its neck. The next second, he gets rid of the remaining Qingxuan puppet's entanglements by dodging their attacks and keeping a relatively safe distance from those remaining Qingxuan puppets. And just where he had been before, the several fist attacks of the Qingxuan puppets landed.

Bang!

The hard ground was immediately shattered by the puppets' heavy punches, leaving a hole and cracks all around. Looking at this scene, Su Chen said with lingering fear, "It seems that my first death was not unfair."

With this kind of power, it's no wonder that they were able to break through his protective divine light and kill him with casual punches. After some emotion, he immediately calmed his mind and started to focus on the battle in front of him.

Although he had killed the first alone Qingxuan puppet, the problem is that the remaining Qingxuan puppets are keeping a close distance from each other. If he attacked one of them rashly, other puppets would besiege him.

Therefore, if he wants to defeat them, he must kill one Qingxuan puppet while avoiding the attacks of other Qingxuan puppets. Just like he killed the first Qingxuan puppet. But this is not that easy. It is extremely difficult to dodge the attacks of nine puppets in the already small space of the underground tomb.

Moreover, with his current spiritual power, while maintaining the sharpness technique, he can only use the Purple Cloud Divine Light to protect his body twice at most. In simple words, he could only resist the attacks of the Qingxuan puppet twice at most. That means he had only two chances to be hit by the Qingxuan puppets.

If he was hit again a third time, even with his current physical condition, it would be very difficult for him to resist; even if he didn't die, he would be seriously injured at best, and he would lose his fighting capabilities. With these thoughts in his mind, he once again started fighting with the Qingxuan puppets.

One minute later...

Su Chen, who was forced into a corner by the Qingxuan puppets, was breathing heavily. Not far from him were three broken Qingxuan puppets.

In the situation where one is fighting ten and there is a gap between him and them, he relies on floating cloud steps and Water Dragon Roar. And replace one of his opportunities of using Body Protection Divine Light with the life of three Qingxuan puppets.

If other cultivators in the second level of the Qi gathering stage had such a record, they would be proud of it. However, he was still somewhat dissatisfied with his performance because he had made many mistakes during the battle.

Whether it is the timing of floating cloud steps or the water dragon roar attack, there are many areas where he can improve and do better. Although this one-minute battle seemed short, it greatly improved his understanding of floating cloud steps and water dragon roar.

The essence of Water Dragon Roar is actually to use spiritual power to make the sword body generate vibration force. In this way, the magic sword can produce high-frequency damage like "water waves" while emitting a sword sound similar to a dragon's roar.

This is the "Dragon Roar" in the Water Dragon Roar Technique. Theoretically speaking, the faster the frequency of the Water Dragon's roar, the more powerful the sword will be. But these only exist in theory.

Because whether it is the quality of the magic sword itself or Su Chen's own body and cultivation. None of them could support him to stack more Water Dragon Roar vibration effects. At present, he can stack the shock force up to five times in one second at most.

Every time after performed Water Dragon Roar, he needed to spend a certain amount of time adjusting to the turbulent spiritual energy in his body. Although this time is not long, it is particularly deadly in battle. That is to say, water-attributed spiritual power is the softest of the five elements.

If it was the spiritual power of other attributes, Su Chen might not even have had the chance to perform Water Dragon Roar before his meridians were shattered by the vibrating spiritual power. Water Dragon Roar may seem simple, but this sword technique... has a lot of hidden secrets.

Just as Su Chen lowered his head in thought, the remaining seven Qingxuan puppets had already come to him. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked up at them.

"Wait, I'll be back soon."

Bang!

As the punches fell, Su Chen's voice disappeared.

The second challenge failed!
