After carefully observing the next two sparring sessions, Lou Cheng returned to the exclusive lounge while thinking about the details. After taking a shower, he went to the restaurant and feasted on the food carefully prepared by the chef.
"It seems like it's going to rain again..." After eating and drinking, he took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, touched his slightly bulging belly, and looked out the window at the sky with dark clouds. Before six o'clock, the city was already dark.
.
After finishing his emotion, he left the restaurant and came to the side entrance of the club. Auman had informed the driver Zhao Zhenhua in advance to park the nanny van nearby.
After a fierce battle, Lou Cheng was not in good spirits. After getting into the car and sitting down, he leaned against the soft and elastic back of the chair, closed his eyes, pressed on the armrest, half resting, and half reminiscing and summarizing the previous experience.
Harvest.
Seeing that he was silent, Auman confirmed that the audio-visual entertainment system was turned off, picked up the walkie-talkie, and whispered to Zhao Zhenhua to drive directly to the villa on the bank of Xiapei Lake.
Since it did not pass through several congested areas along the way, the nanny car parked outside the villa door more than 20 minutes later.
Lou Cheng put back his thoughts that were gradually wandering around, opened his eyes, got out of the car, glanced at the sky, and said to Ouman:
"You guys go back, I have nothing to do here."
"Okay." Ouman had almost figured out Lou Cheng's daily status. Without being verbose, he nodded immediately and waved his hand, "Mr. Lou, good-bye, I'll come over at the same time tomorrow."
The engine was humming, the sound was coming from far away, and Lou Chengchen suddenly became extremely quiet.
After standing for a few seconds, he turned around and passed the fingerprint verification and opened the door. The room was dark, and night seemed to have fallen early, but the dim light shining in from the windows on both sides still vaguely outlined the outlines of all the furniture, walls and pillars.
Lou Cheng closed the door and stood by the shoe cabinet, looking around slowly.
On the coffee table that shone with metallic luster, cups were placed upside down in an orderly manner. There was no strange thing filled with hot water and exuding the fragrance of tea. The oversized TV stood silently, the screen was dark, without any light, shadow or sound.
In a corner of the semi-open kitchen, woks, stew pots, milk pots, etc. are all in their places. Compared with yesterday, there is no change at all; the night breeze from the approaching rainstorm passes through the screen window, bringing a bit of coolness.
Lou Cheng stared at it for more than ten seconds without turning on the light. Relying on his strong vision and the dimness of the room, he changed his shoes, closed all the windows tightly, and walked along the dark stairs, neither light nor heavy.
Go upstairs.
Ta, tap, tap, the footsteps echoed peacefully and long.
There was almost no light in the corridor on the second floor, but the building seemed to be capable of darkness. It accurately avoided the half-height table with flowerpots on it and opened the door of the master bedroom.
Compared with when we took over the property, this place is different. The layout has been greatly changed. The most obvious point is that there is a recliner that can sleep next to the floor-to-ceiling windows, and all the people out from the other door.
There is a half-height swing-style hammock on the enclosed spacious balcony.
Still without turning on the light, Lou Cheng walked to the reclining chair and sat down, letting his tired body, which had been training hard for a day and fighting a fierce battle, sink into the softness that made every inch of his muscles feel comfortable.
Lying down, he couldn't help but recall the conversation between the little fairy and himself when they were discussing the layout of the master bedroom:
"I want a recliner, just put it next to the floor-to-ceiling window. When I have nothing to do in the afternoon, I can sit there, basking in the warm sunshine, leisurely reading novels and watching videos. When I feel sleepy, I can sleep until I wake up naturally."
"Um, do I need to wear sunscreen like this?"
"You are so annoying!"
…
The corners of his mouth curled up imperceptibly. Lou Cheng lay quietly in the darkness, looking at the night that was getting darker and darker. He didn't seem to think about it, but he seemed to be reliving the past scene after scene. The wind was blowing outside the window and the rain was falling.
Urgent, ticking, and dense.
Ten minutes later, his phone made a special reminder sound. When he picked it up, Yan Zheke said with an expression like "He is wearing a red scarf and is working hard to become stronger":
"I love getting up early! I love morning exercise!"
Lou Cheng chuckled softly, unlocked the screen, typed quickly, and said with a "snicker":
"I'm enjoying the comfort of your lounge chair."
After finishing his reply, he casually turned on the desk lamp on the table next to him, and a dim but warm light shone out, resisting the erosion of darkness and silence.
After chatting with classmate Ke Xiaoke for a while, he played games and read novels for a while. After Cai Zongming, Jiang Fei and others either finished their busy work or returned home from get off work, he shifted his focus to chatting. On the way, he occasionally watched the live broadcast. During the martial arts competition, I had serious discussions with Peng Leyun, Ren Li, and An Chaoyang on some interesting issues in the group.
After Yan Zheke finished his training and had breakfast, he began to share his afternoon sparring experience with his wife, and discussed how to use the Balance Pill to practice "Five Fires and Nine Transformations. The Great Sun is Coming".
When the girl started busy studying, the frequency of chatting slowed down, and Lou Cheng was "hanging out" on the Internet as before. Before going to bed, he called his mother Qi Fang and talked about his life, which had not changed much recently.
Asked about the situation at home.
Just like that, the day passed, and after the heavy rain all night, the sun rose as promised.
After reading the news in the car about where the water was flooding and where you could watch the sea, Lou Cheng had breakfast and re-entered the Waigang training room. He calmly sat cross-legged and watched the unique art of "Five Fires and Nine Turns. The Great Sun is Coming".
Think about the map ahead.
My biggest problem at the moment is that after condensing a fireball, it cannot hover around me for a long time and is difficult to maintain for a long time... In other words, I must complete the preparation in one go and execute it as soon as possible in order to use the two major martial arts of "Fire Department" at the bottom of the box.
One, in actual combat, it has almost no effect... Lou Cheng recalled yesterday's practice process and the content of the discussion with Yan Zheke at night, his thoughts turned, and he gradually came to a clear idea.
Initially, he wanted to imitate his experience when he comprehended the "vast starry sky. Absolutely cold". When balancing the elixir, he reversely suppressed the "Ice Soul Power", shrunk the darkness, highlighted the stars, and highlighted the "Yan Emperor Power".
After careful consideration and careful discussion of this activation of "Five Fires and Nine Turns", I found that this also requires using the killing move as soon as possible. It is impossible to just sit there and wait for others to attack, without even having time to condense the fireball.
But, five fireballs of different natures rotate around the body to maintain balance. Isn't this similar to the "starry sky" scene when you balance and hold the elixir?
Starting from this idea, Lou Cheng thought of a way:
Since Wai Gang can connect the sky and the earth, affect the surrounding environment, and is almost integrated with nearby nature, why can't it be treated as a whole?
Within the whole, a rotational balance is formed!
The body is cold and dark, rotating in balance with the surrounding fireballs!
This must rely on the spirit to serve as the "bridge" to "connect" the two parties, but the secret skill of "Five Fires and Nine Turns. The Great Sun Comes" itself requires the use of the spirit to make complex "connections" to maintain the circling of the five fireballs.
, that is to say, I don’t need to practice hard and difficult methods, there is a more convenient, simpler and more consistent way!
A path that integrates inside and outside!
Thinking of this, Lou Cheng suddenly became enlightened, stood up suddenly, took a deep look at the visualization map, strengthened his understanding of the charm, left the small room, returned to the practice field outside, put on airs, and stood calmly.
The "starry sky appeared" in his mind, which quickly enlarged, with darkness at the edge and the sun in the center, evolving into the heavy appearance of Emperor Yan.
The fire energy circulates, and as the visualization changes, a lavender fireball condenses outside the body.
At this time, the "cosmic starry sky" in Lou Cheng's mind became mainly dark and cold. With the help of the "connection" between the spirit and the essence and the outside world, the lavender fireball was led to circle stably and rotate in a balanced manner.
During the process, Lou Cheng felt that this method placed little mental burden, and he suddenly began to think twice:
If "Five Fires Turning Together" is still the same pattern, then I can maintain it longer than the normal method, very long!
Hiss, that’s a lot of changes!
With his expression refreshed, Lou Cheng tried to condensate a second ball of fire. It can be seen that after the picture was different, his spirit, essence, and organs had all changed. The lavender fireball around him suddenly lost its balance and fell to the ground.
Boom!
The explosion occurred, the alloy was dented, and cracks were obvious.
Looking at this scene, Lou Cheng concluded from his failure. After groping again and again, he finally found a way, which was to maintain the rotational balance between "stars" and "stars" when condensing other fireballs.
A few days later, he was surrounded by five fireballs of different colors, which lasted for a long time.
"Five fires and nine turns. The great sun is coming" finally started. Lou Cheng was in a very good mood. Taking advantage of the break, he first showed off to his wife, and then checked the news and saw eye-catching messages:
"The four geniuses compete for the first time!"
"They were all promoted to Waigang before the age of twenty-four, and the super platinum generation is about to reunite!"
"Bei Zhihai, Nan Loucheng, Dong Leyun, and Xi Renli, who can challenge the hegemony of the Dragon King and the Martial Saint in the next few years?"
After browsing, Lou Cheng remembered something:
The grandmaster battle is about to begin!
Tomorrow I will go to Jiuqu City with Long Zhen, Guo Jie and the others!
As for the Dragon King, there is no need to go, because he is the "grandmaster" of this generation, waiting for challengers!
