The most basic thing about practicing heavy swordsmanship is the coordination of strength and internal energy with the use of a heavy sword.
Just as the Black Ruyi Heavy Sword was successfully refined, in Hesi City, Lin Lei used the Black Ruyi Heavy Sword to attack the Purple Robe Special Class Executor, but neither his strength nor his Dou Qi could be used to a qualified level.
Using a heavy sword is not just about stiffly swinging it with brute force.
But try to save every bit of strength, so that the heavy sword can speed up, and at the same time, the coordination of strength and internal energy with the heavy sword is also as perfect as possible.
Lin Lei spent more than a year, finally able to use the Black Ruyi Heavy Sword with ease, without wasting any strength or energy. With limited power and internal energy, the Black Ruyi Heavy Sword's might reached its maximum.
But this is just the foundation.
Beyond this first layer, the second layer is a realm, which was suddenly realized by Lin Lei when he saw the scene of water flowing in the mountain stream a few days ago.
Making heavy things light and saying it is simple.
It's essentially a perfect control of Dou Qi and strength, just like the floodwaters being accumulated and blocked, when it bursts out at the moment of collapse, the power is extremely terrifying.
The "Thunderclap" move is based on this principle.
It sounds simple, but in fact it requires a very solid foundation to apply. Without perfect control over one's internal energy and strength, merely understanding the concept is not enough to execute this move.
"Is it that powerful? Boss, is this the most powerful heavy sword?" Beibei exclaimed in surprise.
Lin Lei smiled and shook his head, "It's too early, according to the records in my family's books, using heavy weapons can be roughly divided into three levels. The first is basic proficiency, the second is effortless lifting, and the third is 'momentum'."
"What's that?" Beibei looked puzzled, "What is it?"
"I don't know either." Lin Lei shook his head and said, "After all, the secret book of my family, apart from the content of 'Dragon Blood Classics', only introduces some history of the family and some things about our ancestors. As for the ancestor who used the heavy hammer, it was just a few lines to introduce his strength. The book also only says that the third realm is 'momentum', but as for what 'momentum' is, it doesn't say in detail, I don't know either."
Lin Lei didn't understand.
Momentum, is it momentum?
But holding a heavy black sword, even with momentum, how much more power can be added to the attack?
"Without comprehension, nothing can be understood." Lin Lei shook his head.
Lin Lei was well aware that in the realm of 'weightlessness', he had not yet reached perfection. Because the most important thing about the 'Thunderbolt' move was the sudden burst of attacking power at the very end.
What is the most powerful eruption?
Lin Lei is now simply releasing his power and aura recklessly, but Lin Lei understands that this is the most stupid thing to do.
"There is no shortcut to cultivation." Lin Lei smiled and stopped his idle thoughts.
Entering deep autumn, even the leaves of the ancient trees in the Magic Beast Mountain Range have withered and turned yellow.
It's already the deep autumn of the 10001st year of the Jade Orchid calendar, and Lin Lei has been in the Beast Mountain Range for more than a year and a half. However, he has only traveled five or six thousand miles so far.
Every day is mainly for practice, and one day's journey is about 10 miles or so.
In the dead of night, all was quiet, under a giant tree in the core area of the Magic Beast Mountain Range that required four or five people to encircle it with their arms, Lin Lei sat cross-legged and meditated quietly.
Gradually... daybreak arrived, and Lin Lei also opened his eyes, a smile added to his face.
The gentle morning breeze blew in, and a few withered leaves floated down from the air, slowly drifting to the ground. Lin Lei watched these falling leaves, silent and still.
"Boss?" Beibei opened her sleepy eyes and asked in confusion, "You're awake, why didn't you call me?"
Actually, every day when Lin Lei wakes up, BeiBei also naturally wakes up. It's just that BeiBei insists on waiting for Lin Lei to call him before opening his eyes. But today Lin Lei didn't call him.
"Bei Bei, I think I've made a breakthrough." Lin Lei suddenly said through his soul voice.
"Breakthrough?" Beibei immediately jumped up, excitedly asking, "What breakthrough?"
Lin Lei smiled and said: "My mental power has finally reached the level of an 8th-level magician."
"An eighth-level magician?" Bebe exclaimed immediately.
In fact, that winter when he was sixteen years old, Lin Lei refined the Stone Sculpture 'Dream Awakening', and the rapid growth of ten days and nights caused Lin Lei's mental power to increase by ten times, reaching the level of a mid-to-late seventh-level magician.
That winter when I was sixteen years old, it was already mid-to-late seventh grade.
It's been almost three years now.
During that time in Finlay City, Lin Lei's spiritual power growth rate was halved. At this speed, it would probably take Lin Lei five or six years to become an eighth-level magician. However, during the year and a half Lin Lei spent in the Magic Beast Mountains, his soul completely merged with nature, and every carving perfectly harmonized with nature.
The increase in spiritual power is very obvious.
At this moment... Lin Lei's spiritual power finally reached the level of an 8th rank magician.
"Boss, how powerful is an 8th-level magician?" Bebe asked curiously.
"Try it and you'll know?" Lin Lei's face showed a hint of playful smile, while Beibei glared at him, then confidently said: "Come on, I'm Beibei, who doesn't care about an eighth-level magical beast, what's to fear from an eighth-level magic spell?"
Lin Lei immediately began to silently chant the magic spell.
After a moment, a large amount of earth elements gathered around Lin Lei, and the earth magic power in his body also stirred up.
"Hoooo!" A strong gust of wind suddenly rose in front of Lin Lei, and the withered leaves were also rolled up and flew into the air. Suddenly, a loud roar sounded, and a three-meter-high tawny wolf appeared in front of Lin Lei. This giant wolf was over three meters high and nearly ten meters long, its muscles as hard as iron thorns, its limbs thick and powerful.
8th Tier Earth System Magic - 'Earth Howling Wolf' of the Earth Puppet!
"Roar!"
The big wolf let out a loud roar and charged at Beibei, but Beibei stood still, confidently waiting for the wolf.
"Pffft——" A sharp and abrupt spear array suddenly emerged from under Beibei.
"Wow." Beibei let out a strange cry and jumped up all at once.
However, the earth-shattering spear array did not harm Beibei in the slightest. At this time, the Great Earth Wolf had arrived in front of it. Beibei immediately let out a sharp howl and its body began to swell up.
"Roar!!"
The Great Earth Wolf opened its bloody mouth and bit towards Beibei, who was also furious and bit back at the Great Earth Wolf. With a "crack" sound, Beibei cleanly bit off the Great Earth Wolf's throat.
But Da Di Xiao Lang was completely unaware, and his sharp claws directly grabbed towards Beibei.
"Bang."
Bibi was caught and flew directly, heavily smashing onto the ground, causing the ground to crack open. Bibi immediately sprang up, glaring angrily at this giant wolf. The sharp claws of the giant wolf were still very powerful just now.
"Bei Bei, this earth-shaking wolf is not a real magical beast, but an earth-type puppet, completely composed of magic and elements. There's nothing to be afraid of." Lin Lei's teasing voice rang out.
Babe suddenly understood.
For a puppet made entirely of magical energy and elements, biting its throat is no different from biting its tail in terms of damage.
"Wow~~"
Bai Bai finally got angry, directly transforming into a black shadow and pouncing on Da Di Xiao Lang. Da Di Xiao Lang also bit towards him. However, Bai Bai dodged and at the same time his small claws crazily scratched towards Da Di Xiao Lang. In the blink of an eye, he had scratched nearly a hundred times on Da Di Xiao Lang's body, almost making his opponent's body collapse.
"Hong!" The earth roared as Lang's body radiated a brilliant light that flashed at incredible speed, instantly exploding outward in a deafening blast.
Babe was blown up and flew directly into the air, heavily smashing into a large tree next to her, breaking it in two. Only then did she fall to the ground.
"Bebe, how's it going?" Lin Lei was very clear about Bebe's strength, and this amount of attack power wouldn't be able to harm Bebe.
Babe rushed over, saying with a stifled tone: "Boss, that Earthshaking Wolf's attack power is no less than an ordinary 8th-level magical beast. And it still hasn't gone berserk. It's really abnormal, even self-destructing when it's about to die."
The body collapses, and the puppet made of magical power and elements naturally explodes.
An eighth-level dual-system magician, even in his normal human form, Lin Lei was considered a true powerhouse. The power of an eighth-level magic was truly astonishing.
Like the Wind Clan's "Violent Dragon Whirlwind", it's not hard for this Violent Dragon Whirlwind to wipe out an army of several thousand people. In fact, it's just the "Earth Howling Wolf" striking, and small armies usually end up finished. The Earth Howling Wolf's defense is quite astonishing, and only Bebe, that abnormal one, could break through the Earth Howling Wolf's defense so simply.
The earth wolf howls, speed is fast, defense is amazing, and there are almost no weaknesses.
Put it in an army and the damage can be imagined.
"An 8th-level magician is, for a country, more important than an army of ten thousand. Lin Lei understood this principle well, and as for 9th-level magicians, their importance exceeded that of an army of one hundred thousand. As for Saint Domain magic masters, their importance surpassed even that of an army of one million."
A single Forbidden Curse 'Destruction Storm' nearly annihilated a million-strong army.
Lin Lei's elemental affinity was superb, and his natural talent for magic made the time spent on cultivation very short. With the 'Ping Jian Liu Fa' carving method, Lin Lei didn't need to spend too much time on magic training.
Since they can become dragons, warriors naturally have to work twice as hard in their training.
Holding a heavy black sword, Lin Lei walked on top of a great mountain, the black sword in his hand casually chopping, slapping and smashing in all directions... The movements were extremely light and effortless.
When Hei Yu's heavy sword touched those giant stones, the giant stones would instantly collapse.
Or shattered into dozens of pieces, or directly exploded, or turned into powder... Lin Lei continued to experiment, how to exert the power of "Bolt" this move even greater. If in the case of using the same amount of fighting energy, the power is even greater.
"Hmm." Lin Lei felt that the Dragon Blood Fighting Qi had been depleted by more than half, and immediately put away the Black Ruyi Heavy Sword.
With a flip of his hand, the Purple Blood Soft Sword appeared in his hand.
Lin Lei's whole person immediately jumped up, and the purple blood soft sword in his hand also fluttered and flashed, the advantage of the purple blood soft sword was its speed and strange changes.
"Pffft!"
The purple blood soft sword slashed towards a small tree in the distance, but halfway through, the entire body of the purple blood soft sword trembled like a snake. With a flash, it wrapped around the small tree, and with another flash of purple light, the small tree was cut in two.
The purple blood soft sword suddenly became straight as a pen.
"Hiss." The Purple Blood Divine Sword shot out in a straight line, its sharp sword tip emitting a dark green light that seemed to swallow and spit out the surroundings. The sword tip easily pierced through the stone wall beside it.
"Really?"
Lin Lei suddenly furrowed his brow and drew out the Purple Blood Soft Sword. He looked at the Purple Blood Soft Sword in confusion: "What's going on inside this Purple Blood Soft Sword?" Lin Lei had just infused his spiritual energy into the Purple Blood Soft Sword, and as he controlled its transformation, he suddenly discovered a pulse that made his heart skip a beat.
"What?" Lin Lei's heart skipped a beat.
When Lin Lei encountered danger in the Temple of Light, a terrifying power appeared in the Panlong Ring. The Purple Blood Soft Sword was also a divine artifact, but its power was not as astonishing as Lin Lei had imagined. Lin Lei always suspected that there was some secret inside the Purple Blood Soft Sword.
Lin Lei immediately controlled his spiritual power to enter the Purple Blood Soft Sword, carefully examining it.
In the past, Lin Lei had also tried to investigate without entering the realm of an 8th-level magician, but now he has reached the level of an 8th-level magician.
"Huh?" Lin Lei's spiritual energy finally probed a hint of the edge.
A violent, madly tyrannical aura directly contacted Lin Lei's spiritual power. Lin Lei seemed to see endless blood red, countless corpses, and boundless white bones... That madly tyrannical aura directly invaded Lin Lei's spiritual power, then flashed back, directly penetrating into Lin Lei's soul...
