Bang bang bang, Lou Cheng only used his left hand, alternately using an inch of force and snapping his fingers, to continuously shoot out flames, consuming the heat flow in his body.
After a full five minutes, he finally felt that the flame heat flow integrated into the subtle parts of his body was exhausted, and the golden elixir in his lower abdomen began to expand and contract, slowly rotating, and dividing into tiny bits of strength.
This power, balanced between ice and fire, quickly healed Lou Cheng's fatigue, but it did not help replenish the heat flow of the flames.
Lou Cheng knew that the critical moment had come. He endured the involuntary twitching and strange collapse of his body and continued to activate his powers. He shook his left arm again, punched forward, and struck with short force.
Snap!
In the strong and urgent voice, his mind suddenly buzzed, and he fell into a strange state of inner vision, reflecting the golden elixir that looked like a miniature starry sky.
With a flick of the brush, Lou Cheng saw a "star" flying out of the surface of the "starry sky" and a "flame" shaking off. Then he felt his palms were slightly hot, his eyes were filled with firelight, and the lake surface was churning with a layer of red.
Chihong struggled for a few times and finally slowly extinguished.
Different from the time when he faced Ye Youting, he now used the performance of supernatural powers to reveal the power of the golden elixir without reservation, instead of attacking the enemy from within by visualizing punches, which was relatively exaggerated.
As soon as the rolling flames dissipated, the lake surface became calm again, except for some floating dead branches and leaves. Within Lou Cheng's body, the golden elixir shrank suddenly and threw out an ice crystal again to achieve balance.
The ice crystals quickly expanded into a cold current, sweeping through the blood vessels and meridians, and spreading to every corner of Lou Cheng's body.
At this moment, Lou Cheng felt that he was completely frozen, turning into an ice sculpture, and his heart slowed down.
Damn it, the backlash is still so terrible... He thought sluggishly.
I don't know how long it took, but he suddenly heard the thumping of his heartbeat. They were like bidding farewell to the ice, awakening the thunder of spring hibernation, allowing himself to slowly recover from the rigidity of his thinking.
Immediately afterwards, Lou Cheng felt his heart beating vigorously, continuously spurting out blood containing strong vitality, and letting it travel throughout the body, eliminating the cold, while the medulla inside the bones fully cooperated with this process.
In less than a few dozen seconds, Lou Cheng was completely freed from the freezing state and felt the benefits of his physical body becoming stronger. Moreover, he also clearly noticed that with this resistance and fusion of "frost", his physical fitness was vaguely improved.
There has been some improvement again.
I think I also had such a change when I first awakened the fire power, but I was caught in a high fever and weak and ignored it.
No wonder, in the past month, my physical body had become stronger than I expected!
Well, this is also normal. Your body can adapt to the scorching "fire flow", so it would be unreasonable not to improve!
Lou Cheng's thoughts changed and he felt that his body was still weak. Coldness was continuously seeping out of his bones, making him shiver constantly. He just wanted to wrap himself in thick quilts layer by layer.
Compared with the last time he felt like dying, this time it just reminded him of his experience of being sick as a child.
Turning around and taking out the down jacket he had prepared, Lou Cheng began to examine himself to see if he had awakened his frost powers, and if there was any offset between frost and fire. He returned to the tragedy before liberation overnight.
During the inspection, he suddenly let out a sigh of surprise and joy.
The cold current and the hot current mix with each other, forming a delicate balance and integrating into its own subtleties.
Taking a breath, Lou Cheng suddenly shook out his left arm and used Cun Jin again. At the same time, he activated the frost cold current.
Snap!
There was no thin ice or snowflakes on the surface of his fist.
Lou Cheng was not disappointed. Instead, he fell into thinking. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly turned his palm and smacked the nearest boulder.
Bang! His palm pressed on the boulder, and then slowly lifted up, revealing a piece of cold white frost, which outlined the shape of his left hand!
Seeing the white frost melting away quickly, Lou Cheng nodded thoughtfully, roughly figuring out how to use the frost power.
Its current strength is not strong enough to support external exposure, but it can be integrated into its own strength, making every punch and kick bring coldness to it without the need for additional "ignition" actions.
Different abilities, different characteristics.
This kind of ice coldness by itself will not be of much practical use for the time being, but Lou Cheng believes that when combined with the similar power of the ice department, it will have surprising effects.
Huh, when my arm recovers next week, I will report to Master about the awakening of the frost power. Hehe, let’s see what his reaction is and what plan he has... Lou Cheng tightened his down jacket, picked up his bag, shivered, and walked over
canteen.
He urgently needs a cup of hot milk.
As for the second wave of awakening, Lou Cheng doesn't dare to try it yet, because it only involves the surface of the golden elixir. If it loses control again, it will probably involve the inside. The power and backlash will be far greater than before. It is better to wait until the physical body reaches a certain level.
This limit, the level of martial arts has also entered the realm of alchemy, and then we have to make a trade-off.
In the cafeteria, Lou Cheng carried hot porridge, steamed buns, eggs and milk and walked to the table where he and Yan Zheke usually ate together.
It is backed by support pillars, creating a relatively quiet environment with few people.
He put down the plate, picked up the milk and took a sip. He felt the warmth flow down his throat, soothing his stomach and weakening the coldness of his body.
"It's so comfortable..." Lou Cheng praised with satisfaction, picked up the hot porridge and took another sip.
At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Yan Zheke coming over with a dinner plate, which contained soy milk, fried dough sticks and white-faced steamed buns. The girl's cute figure looked like a scene in the cafeteria.
"Hey, Chengzi, did you end it so early today?" Yan Zheke was quite surprised to see her boyfriend at this point, and then realized that Lou Cheng was in something wrong, and asked with urgency and concern, "Are you sick?
"
"No." Lou Cheng's chills had eased a lot, and he chuckled, "I'll tell you a secret."
He felt warm about the tacit understanding that he and Yan Zheke had chosen this table at the same time.
Being able to meet like this in several canteens and among the endless flow of students was not just a matter of fate!
Yan Zheke put down the dinner plate, sat next to Lou Cheng, and looked at him suspiciously: "What secret? You look very bad. Can I accompany you to see a doctor?"
Lou Cheng leaned close to her ear and lowered his voice: "I wanted to hone my powers this morning, so I went to the lake and tried it. When I was about to reach the limit, I suddenly awakened my frost powers again, and my face was so different.
It’s because of backlash, but it’s much lighter than last time, so it’s nothing serious.”
He saw that under the intrusion of his own breathing, the girl's ears gradually turned red, crystal clear and cute.
"Have you awakened your superpower again?" Yan Zheke's pink lips were half-opened, her teeth slightly exposed, and her black and white eyes were full of surprise and confusion, with a cute look.
"I don't know why... maybe the balance of ice and fire, there will probably be no awakening in the future..." Lou Cheng explained a few words.
To be honest, he felt a little guilty every time he lied to a girl, but Jin Dan's matter involved his own life, so telling her would put pressure on her and make her uneasy.
I hope to digest the golden elixir as soon as possible and let the power truly belong to me as soon as possible, so that I will not feel guilty.
Yan Zheke had seen too many "miracles" in her boyfriend, and she quickly recovered and blurted out: "Why are you trying to train your superpower? Even if you want to train, you have to be in front of Coach Shi. If the backlash is too severe,
It’s not like there’s no one to help! If something happens to you, I, I..."
As she spoke, her eyes suddenly turned red, and there seemed to be waves floating on the surface of her eyes.
Lou Cheng bit his lower lip, stretched out his hand, and held the girl's catkins: "I won't do it next time, I will definitely take good care of myself! Think more carefully!"
At this moment, he felt the responsibility. His life no longer belonged only to himself and his relatives...
Yan Zheke took a breath and suddenly shook off his hand, humming: "You want to freeze me to death? Your hands are so cold!"
"It's the remnant of the frost power. It can help you relieve the heat in summer." Lou Cheng said with a flattering smile.
Yan Zheke calmed down, moved his eyebrows slightly, and asked curiously: "No need to 'lighten' anymore?"
"I don't need the frost ability. I think it will be cold wherever it is cold." Lou Cheng said with a hint of showoff.
Yan Zheke pushed the freshly baked hot soy milk over, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Then you can cool it down. It's too hot for me to eat!"
"Okay~" Lou Cheng held the soy milk cup emptyly with his left hand and activated a weak cold current.
There seemed to be changes in his body, and "frost" was constantly being produced, maintaining a delicate balance with "fire".
After a while, Lou Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and took his hand away. He saw a layer of frost on the surface of the soy milk cup, but it disappeared quickly.
"The temperature should be fine..." He touched the cup and gave it to Yan Zheke, waiting for her evaluation.
Yan Zheke took a sip, nodded with a relaxed look and said with a smile: "It's just right, your superpower is quite useful~!"
Lou Cheng didn't expect that his own power would be used first, but he felt a sense of accomplishment. At least he coaxed the girl to turn her anger into joy!
"As long as you like it." He said with a smile, "By the way, have you finished watching the video information that Coach Shi sent yesterday?"
Information about the opponents for the weekend tryouts.
"Finished watching, how about you?" Yan Zheke suddenly became very excited when she mentioned this. She was the first substitute and had a chance to play.
Lou Cheng's chills had ended, but his body was still a little weak. He smiled slightly and said, "Of course I've finished reading it, and I also found out about other things."
Although he couldn't play, because it was related to Yan Zheke, he worked harder than when he played alone!
"What's the matter?" Yan Zheke asked curiously.
Lou Cheng chuckled and said: "Although the 'Dream Team' is an amateur-level team, their players are all second-generation martial arts and third-generation martial arts, especially the three main players who are first-class amateurs. They all have elders in the family with high-level Dan realms. They are Songcheng Martial Arts
The group at the top of the circle.”
Yan Zheke showed no fear or fear towards the warriors in the high-grade Dan realm, and asked with great interest: "What next?"
She took a sip of soy milk, took a bite of fried dough sticks, and looked at Lou Cheng like a child listening to a story.
"You may not believe it, but they formed a dream team to participate in the trials because they were jealous. Jiang Dingyi and Feng Shaokun both liked Qian Ruoyu, their childhood sweethearts who grew up together, and they almost fell out. However, Qian Ruoyu's attitude was very ambiguous and never expressed his opinion.
Finally, they gathered their friends and formed a team to see who performed better in this trial," Lou Cheng said.
Yan Zheke almost spit out the soy milk, and covered her mouth with her hand for a while before saying: "Have you ever picked a boyfriend like this? I feel like you are still a little girl..."
"I am half a year older than you, so you are the little girl." Lou Cheng chuckled.
"Huh, it depends on your mental age!" Yan Zheke wrinkled his nose and asked doubtfully, "How do you know this?"
"There is a local man in our dormitory who is relatively well-informed. I asked him specifically." Lou Cheng told the truth.
For the sake of "coach strictness", he did enough homework.
Yan Zheke's eyes curled up, his pear dimples appeared, he turned his head and looked to the side and said: "I guess you haven't forgotten this coach!"
Lou Cheng ate the buns three times, five divided by two, drank the milk, and continued: "The martial arts passed down by Qian Ruoyu's family originated from Tai Chi, which is more similar to that of your grandfather's family. Jiang Dingyi's grandfather was famous for his sword skills, but because of
During the arena competition, he could not use weapons until he reached the high-level Dan realm. He also created a martial arts of his own, using sword techniques as his master. Feng Shaokun was good at the tiger-crane double shape and modern artillery boxing..."
"I watched the video, and I thought I could imitate a few of them. During this time, I told Coach Shi that I would give you half an hour of training at the end of each day's special training to help you adapt to their style of play."
Yan Zheke puffed up his cheeks, looked to the side with a blushing face and said:
"OK……"
She no longer objected to the daily training sessions.
The two of them were talking and eating breakfast, which was gradually coming to an end. Suddenly, Yan Zheke looked at the big clock in the cafeteria and exclaimed:
"It's almost eight o'clock, I'm going to be late!"
"Yeah..." Lou Cheng looked over and saw that it was already 7:54.
Yan Zheke became angry and pinched him gently:
"It's all your fault, I'm not usually late!"
Lou Cheng chuckled, feeling sweet, took her hand and said, "Hurry, there's still time!"
The two of them left in a hurry and ran towards the martial arts venue. They finally arrived just tens of seconds away.
Yan Zheke panted and glanced at Lou Cheng, meeting his gaze and feeling warm and sweet.
Even if we just do such small things together, we feel so happy.
…………
In the next few days, Lou Cheng lived his life step by step, except that he had to work as a sparring partner for Yan Zheke. As for the Longhu Master Cave, he had never heard it mentioned by Old Man Shi, but he did not dare to inquire rashly.
In the blink of an eye, Saturday has arrived, and the Songcheng University Martial Arts Club will face the "Dream Team" at home at 3 p.m.
Because it was just a practical training, and there were no professional-level main players this time, Songda’s publicity department did not do any promotion for this competition, nor did it inform the teachers and students of the school, so the audience could expect very little.
Lou Cheng took a nap and was about to go outside Yan Zheke's dormitory building to go to the martial arts venue with her when he suddenly received a call from Old Man Shi.
"You brat, I have something to do as a teacher, so I can't come in the afternoon." Old Shi said casually, "Today you will be the coach."
"Ah, I'll be a coach?" Lou Cheng was startled.
Old Man Shi chuckled and said: "In this kind of competition, it doesn't matter if a dog is a coach. What are you afraid of? Okay, I'm done. You can arrange the order of appearance at your own discretion."
Master, don't be so irresponsible! Just as Lou Cheng was about to speak, he heard a beeping sound.
Let me go, I am a good wounded person, how can I become a coach? He was at a loss for a while, and suddenly thought of something:
If the master is not here temporarily, could it be that his friends discovered the cave of Master Longhu and invited him to be a helper?
