A few years after entering the half-step of innateness, you only need to cross that bottleneck and transform the true energy into true essence to become an innate being.
But he has been stuck at the bottleneck of half-step innateness for many years. No matter how hard he practiced on Xiaoyu Peak, he could not overcome that bottleneck.
All warriors who practice martial arts understand one truth.
Only by constantly experiencing the battle of blood and fire can we achieve the most effective breakthrough.
If you stay on Xiaoyu Peak and practice boringly, it will take ten years or more to overcome this bottleneck.
Therefore, Qiu Gang wanted to seize this opportunity, use this opportunity to overcome the bottleneck, and step into the innate secret realm openly.
Facing that alien monster, Qiu Gang was also afraid.
That kind of demonic energy eroding into his body can make him feel the most primitive fear from the bottom of his heart.
It was as if a voice kept warning him to run away quickly.
But at this time, he mustered up the courage to approach the demon monster in full view of everyone.
Soon, Qiu Gang crossed the first circle drawn by Su Lingyun.
When he got closer, the two ugly eyes on the head of the monster beast looked towards him.
Although this demon clan is already very weak and has no ability to hurt anyone, their innate demonic energy has not weakened at all.
"Guga," the demon tribe's mouth full of fangs opened and closed, as if casting a mocking gaze at Qiu Gang.
The blood on Qiu Gang's face immediately dissipated, revealing a white paper-like color. His body's instinct drove him to escape.
But after all, he was the fourth-ranked master in the outer sect. At this moment, he took two deep breaths of air, summoned up all the courage in his body, twisted his feet stiffly, and moved forward at a weird pace.
Second lap...
The third circle...
When Qiu Gang reached the fourth circle, the monster suddenly opened its bloody mouth and let out a howl towards Qiu Gang.
"Gah——"
Facing the howls of the monsters, the courage Qiu had managed to accumulate completely dissipated at this moment.
I saw Qiu Gang suddenly turning his head, but due to the uncoordinated use of his feet, he was unable to escape. Instead, he tripped and fell to the ground. Then he almost used his hands and feet to climb out of the third circle in a very embarrassed manner.
Seeing Qiu Gang's behavior, everyone was very silent.
Everyone is in the imperial capital, far away from the Shura battlefield, and separated by Baidi City, which is garrisoned by millions of imperial troops, and has a very vague understanding of the demon clan.
All I know is that these monsters are extremely powerful, and the monster energy they exude can make people very frightened.
They thought this fear could be overcome.
But now, after they saw the demon clan with their own eyes, they finally understood that it was not easy to overcome this fear.
Qiu Gang's strength is obvious to all at the outer gate of Xiaoyu Peak, and the strength he shows in daily life is also obvious to all.
But beings like Qiu Gang are so afraid in front of the demon clan, so what about the others?
Anyone who can become a warrior has a tenacity that refuses to admit defeat.
Although Qiu Gang's failure gave some people the idea of retreating, there were still some people who did not believe in evil and stepped into the circle.
This time, the person who tried to get close to the monster was an outer disciple of the Marrow Refining Realm.
This outer disciple is not well known, and his strength is not ranked high on Xiaoyu Peak.
However, when everyone was not optimistic about it, this outer disciple who only had the Marrow Refining Realm actually stepped into the sixth circle in a row.
Every time you step into a circle, you get closer to the demon clan.
The sixth circle is only a few feet away from the demon clan.
But after the sixth lap, the outer disciple held his ground, and suddenly his legs began to tremble violently.
Even so, this outer disciple, who was far less powerful than Qiu Gang, performed very well. He controlled his fear very well, turned his head and retreated at the same speed, not as embarrassed as Qiu Gang.
Seeing this scene, the outer disciples on Xiaoyu Peak understood a truth.
Courage has never been linked to strength, just like a mantis blocking a car. Although it is overestimating one's ability, who can deny the courage of that mantis?
Whenever someone tried to get close to the monster, Su Lingyun recorded the number of circles they had crossed, and finally selected the five people who crossed the most circles to participate in the demon-slaying trial.
The fact that the outer disciple of the Marrow Refining Realm was able to enter the sixth circle made many people regain their confidence. After all, many people felt that their strength was far stronger than that of the outer disciple of the Marrow Refining Realm.
One after another, a total of hundreds of outer sect disciples tried. Among them, the worst performer was that his heart completely collapsed just after stepping into the first lap, while the best performer was Hao Shige.
As the number one outer disciple, Hao Shige set a good example at this time.
Facing the monster, he held a three-foot green-edged sword and walked slowly, walking seven circles in one breath. It was not until the eighth circle that his movements slowed down.
After being roared by the monster, Hao Shige turned around with a livid face and quickly turned back.
Although everyone knows that Hao Shige has not been able to withstand the huge monster aura of the demon clan, he has already entered the eighth circle after all, and even when he turned back, his face was not very good-looking, and at least his walking posture did not change at all.
.
No matter from every point of view, it has proved Hao Shige's courage.
After Hao Shige jumped out of all the circles drawn by Su Lingyun, he raised his hands and felt a burst of luck. Then his face returned to normal, and he put on that gentle smile.
However, his eyes swept across Luo Zheng's face vaguely.
Many outer disciples have noticed this detail.
In the mountain challenge not long ago, Hao Shige, as the number one outer disciple, should have participated, but he was in retreat at the time and missed the opportunity to face the people at Vulture Peak.
Ever since Hao Shige came out of seclusion, I heard everyone talking about a certain person in the outer gate of Xiaoyu Peak.
That person is Luo Zheng.
Hao Shige has already heard about Luo Zheng.
Luo Zheng, who had just become an outer disciple of Xiaoyu Peak today, faced off against Xu Lie, who was ranked 30th in Xiaoyu Peak, and his performance was extremely dazzling.
But at that time, Hao Shige didn't pay much attention to this matter. As the number one in Xiaoyu Peak, he knew very well that there were too many amazing people in this world. He, Hao Shige, also appeared out of nowhere that year and challenged several people in succession.
Finally he became an outer disciple.
But in the mountain challenge, Luo Zheng actually defeated several people in Vulture Peak by himself, and also defeated Liu Cunshi, who ranked first in Vulture Peak.
Hao Shige never expected this.
After retreating, Hao Shige finally broke through the half-step innate bottleneck and stepped into the innate secret realm.
After the next year, he will be promoted to the inner sect of Xiaoyu Peak.
But after coming out of seclusion, everyone thought that Luo Zheng was the number one in the outer sect of Xiaoyu Peak. Even if Hao Shige had entered the Innate Secret Realm, he was not Luo Zheng's opponent.
Such rumors were very harsh to Hao Shige's ears.
So he wanted to find an opportunity to let Luo Zheng understand who is the outer disciple.
Many outer disciples noticed Hao Shige's provocative gaze, and Luo Zheng, as the person involved, naturally knew it.
Luo Zheng also knew what Hao Shige was thinking. He himself had no interest in the title of No. 1 in the outer sect, and naturally had no feeling about Hao Shige's provocation.
However, he must participate in the task of slaying demons.
As a warrior, the pressure on Luo Zheng's shoulders is much greater than that of many people.
Everyone wants to improve their strength as quickly as possible, but in comparison, Luo Zheng is more urgent than them!
He promised in front of Luo Yan that he would definitely take her out of Purgatory Mountain. If he wanted to rescue Luo Yan, he would face many obstacles. Only with absolute strength would he be qualified, otherwise all promises would be empty words!
"Does anyone else want to try?" Su Lingyun's melodious voice floated in the square.
Those outer sect disciples who dare to try are all very brave people. The vast majority of people do not dare to try. On the one hand, it is a matter of fear, and on the other hand, they think that they are not strong enough and have no confidence.
Su Lingyun was slightly disappointed, and finally her eyes fell on Luo Zheng.
Su Lingyun knew very well that Luo Zheng would never let go of this opportunity to hone himself. He had previously shown great enthusiasm for the tasks issued by Qingyun Sect.
But I don’t know what this kid is doing? He still refuses to come out now? There was a trace of doubt in Su Lingyun’s eyes, so her question just now was actually reminding Luo Zheng: It’s your turn to play.
Luo Zheng smiled slightly, walked out of the crowd, and slowly came to the center of the square.
The eyes of the outer disciples of Xiaoyu Peak all fell on Luo Zheng.
After encountering the challenge of Vulture Peak last time and Luo Zheng turning the tide, he has become a legend in the eyes of the outer disciples.
So everyone is looking forward to Luo Zheng's performance.
"Brother Luo Zheng, come on!" Mo Can, standing in the crowd, suddenly shouted.
"Come on!" Zhou Xian also shouted.
Luo Zheng nodded towards them, glanced at the demon clan not far away, and then slowly walked over.
Strictly speaking, the demonic energy emitted by the demon clan can actually be classified as a kind of "meaning", but the demon clan's meaning is different from other "meanings".
Most of the "meanings" can be used as a means to attack people, but the demonic energy emitted by the demon clan can invade people's souls, constantly hinting at their terror.
If a demon clan and a demon beast are equally powerful and terrifying, but with the help of their demonic aura, the demon clan can amplify their terror ten times or a hundred times! This is the innate ability of the demon clan.
Talent means.
Luo Zheng's soul is very powerful, and ordinary "meaning" will not cause any trauma to his soul.
But this demon clan is not trying to hurt Luo Zheng. The message conveyed by the demonic aura constantly hints to Luo Zheng that it is an extremely terrifying race!
When Luo Zheng entered the first circle, the demonic energy rushed towards his face, and Luo Zheng felt a sense of fear in his heart almost as a conditioned reflex.
The level of this fear was not high. Luo Zheng smiled slightly, relaxed his whole body, and moved forward without hesitation, entering the second circle.
So far, Luo Zheng is the only person who can smile when facing the demon clan.
