Chapter 79: Breakthrough Blue Lotus, Your Dual Sword Style Is Great, but It's Mine! [5,000-Word Chapter]

The reason why the jade-faced sword beetle was so surprised was that Lu Chen smashed his demon sword arm with a sword.

It all comes from the power system of the Nine Nether Evil Things that is completely different from that of the monks.

It is different from the way monks absorb spiritual power and perceive the world to become stronger.

The Nine Nether Evils, or most of the alien races, use physical mutations to jump through their life levels, thereby becoming stronger.

That is ‘evolution’ in the popular sense.

Therefore, among foreign races, there is actually no concept of Qi training, foundation building, or golden elixir.

The way they measure strength is very simple, that is, 'unevolved', 'first evolved', 'secondary evolved', and so on.

The reason why the Immortal Alliance also uses terms like 'qi training and foundation building' to measure the strength level of the aliens.

Essentially, it is just to facilitate the monks to understand the danger of evil creatures.

The jade-faced sword beetle that Lu Chen encountered now was an existence after 'one evolution'.

Similar to how a monk will experience a qualitative leap in both the total amount and quality of his spiritual power after practicing Qi training and building a foundation.

Each time the Nine Nether Evil Object completes an evolution.

Not only will your physical fitness be greatly improved, but some parts of your body will also undergo mutations.

Forming a special organ similar to a monk's 'natal magic weapon'.

The special organ that the Jade-faced Sword Beetle evolved from is its two arms.

Although the Jade-faced Sword Mantis is a Nine Nether evil creature known for its speed.

But if we just talk about its two demon sword arms.

No matter how sharp or hard these two arms are, they are almost the same as the magic weapons that ordinary monks have been practicing for many years.

Lu Chen was actually able to accurately hit the weak spot on his Demon Sword arm the first time he took action, and directly hit it with an obvious crack.

This is no less than Lu Chen directly destroying the foundation-building monk's magic weapon with one blow.

How could the Jade-faced Sword Mantis not be shocked by this?

The jade-faced sword beetle looked at the lotus pupils that Lu Chen kept choosing, and felt very annoyed.

I'm careless. I shouldn't underestimate the other person just because he is just a monk in the human race's Qi training period.

This human monk's eyes...are definitely weird!

Thinking of this, the murderous intention towards Lu Chen in the Jade Faced Sword Mantis's heart became even stronger.

No, I absolutely cannot let a human genius like him grow up, otherwise he will definitely be a serious problem for our tribe!

As soon as he thought about this, the Jade-faced Sword Mantis became decisively serious.

It did not choose to fight, but relied on its terrifying speed to open a distance of three bodies from Lu Chen in an instant.

However, its retreat was not to escape, but to regain the rhythm of the battle.

Because in the eyes of the Jade-faced Sword Mantis at this time, Lu Chen should be the same type of disguised and quick-fighting type like him.

In such a game, whoever gets the upper hand will undoubtedly have the upper hand.

In fact, if Lu Chen hadn't only been in the Qi training period, he would have been able to do it.

It is not easy for the Jade-faced Sword Mantis to escape so simply.

However, although Lu Chen has amazing swordsmanship, he also has that weird eye skill.

But his physical fitness is average.

It is completely incomparable to this Nine Nether evil creature that evolved once.

So after opening a certain distance.

The wings on the back of the Jade-faced Sword Mantis quickly flapped, creating a gust of wind around it.

Then the compound eyes on the triangular head of the jade-faced sword beetle stared at Lu Chen, and the figure disappeared instantly.

And almost at the same time, Lu Chen seemed to be a clairvoyant.

Suddenly he turned around and slashed in a certain direction behind him.

boom!

Lu Chen's magical sword collided with the Jade-faced Sword Mantis' demonic sword again, and a large number of sparks burst out.

But this time... it was Lu Chen who was at a disadvantage.

Because the jade-faced sword beetle's next attack was like a violent storm, not giving Lu Chen any chance to breathe.

The two demon knives attacked alternately, like endless waves, one wave after another.

If it had been anyone else, he might have been beheaded by the Jade-Faced Sword Beetle at this moment.

But for Lu Chen, who has the realm-breaking level of traceless swordsmanship.

Not only is he almost the same as the Jade-faced Sword Mantis in sheer sword-drawing speed.

Even relying on his superb swordsmanship skills, he was even more than a step ahead of the Jade-faced Sword Mantis in terms of skill.

This allows him to use less spiritual power to perform stronger attacks.

On one side is Jiuyou Xiewu, who has obvious physical advantages, and on the other side is the human monk, who has obvious technical advantages.

This originally looked like a one-sided battle from the outside, but now it was evenly matched in a short period of time!

Half a minute later, one person and one evil thing, who had fought hundreds of times, were briefly separated.

But neither of them seemed to want to give the other a chance to rest. They had a tacit understanding and collided with each other the moment they had just stood firm.

Bang bang bang!

This is a head-on competition between alien swordsmanship and monk swordsmanship. The competition is to see who is faster, your sword or mine.

This kind of abandoning all fancy means and returning to the primitive wild battle not only makes the two warring parties feel like they are meeting their opponents.

The teachers and investigators who were watching this scene in the conference room were stunned.

"This, is this a swordsmanship that a swordsman in the Qi training stage can possess? How did he practice it?!"

A No. 3 middle school teacher looked at Lu Chen, who had a close fight with the Jade-faced Sword Beetle in a short period of time. He was so shocked that he couldn't speak clearly.

Not only him, but the others around him were also shocked beyond words by this scene.

Because no one knows the value of the Jade-faced Blade Mantis better than this group of teachers.

Although the Jade-faced Blade Mantis can only be ranked ninth among the ten foundation-building evil creatures in the exam.

But because of its terrifying speed, it ranks among the top three in the number of students eliminated in the previous joint exams.

It is an absolute killer of candidates.

After all, due to the quantity and quality of spiritual power, cultivators in the Qi training period cannot master any powerful defensive techniques.

In addition, real magic weapons cannot be used in the joint exam.

As a result, the strength of most students in the joint exam is much weaker than in reality.

As a result, ordinary candidates encounter this Jade-faced Blade Mantis, which is famous for its speed.

It is really almost powerless to fight back.

Even many times, those candidates eliminated by the Jade-faced Blade Mantis did not even see the Jade-faced Blade Mantis.

They were beheaded by the opponent with one knife.

Therefore, when they saw the Jade-faced Blade Mantis approaching Lu Chen, and Lu Chen was still alone.

They all thought that the battle would be a one-sided massacre.

The only difference was how long Lu Chen could hold on.

As a result, they never expected that Lu Chen's swordsmanship would be so terrifying.

So much so that in the first encounter, the Jade-faced Blade Mantis's magic sword was damaged, and he suffered a loss.

You know, it was also because of this that the Jade-faced Blade Mantis was somewhat timid in the following battles.

Whenever it needed to use the magic sword in its right hand to attack, it would always subconsciously hold back.

Worried that its magic sword could not withstand Lu Chen's attack and be completely chopped into pieces.

Otherwise, relying on the Jade-faced Blade Mantis's physical fitness that was much higher than Lu Chen's, it actually had several opportunities to break through Lu Chen's swordsmanship and severely injure Lu Chen with one sword.

But from another perspective, this was also because Lu Chen himself was strong enough.

Even if he could find this point, it might not be able to do it, which was another matter.

It can only be said that Lu Chen's strength was far beyond their imagination.

Although they all hoped that Lu Chen could defeat the Jade-faced Blade Mantis on his own.

But everyone present, as veteran foundation-building cultivators, knew that this idea was just a thought.

Because the Jade-faced Blade Mantis in the picture... has not used its full strength yet!

Or Lu Chen has not yet reached the point where he can force the Jade-faced Blade Mantis to use its precious trump card.

Don't think that the Jade-faced Blade Mantis seems to be fighting Lu Chen to a draw.

But the Jade-faced Blade Mantis has not suffered any substantial losses except for some physical strength consumed in the battle until now.

But Lu Chen is completely different.

He can hold on until now, and all he has consumed is the precious spiritual power in his body.

It goes without saying which recovers faster, spiritual power or physical power.

Therefore, if Lu Chen continues to stalemate like this, it is only a matter of time before he is dragged down by the Jade-faced Blade Mantis until his spiritual power is exhausted.

And this is not only known to the teachers in the meeting.

Lu Chen and the Jade-faced Blade Mantis in the battle are also very clear about this.

"Boy, your spiritual power won't last long, right?"

After crossing paths with Lu Chen again, the Jade-faced Blade Mantis flapped its wings and flew to the glass guardrail on the second floor of the mall.

It squatted on it, smiling at Lu Chen, whose breathing became slightly faster.

Faced with the ridicule of the Jade-faced Blade Mantis, Lu Chen seemed to be ready to use this precious time to recover some spiritual power, so he did not answer.

This look of his fell into the eyes of the Jade-faced Blade Mantis.

It undoubtedly made the Jade-faced Blade Mantis feel more confident of winning.

So much so that it couldn't help but want to tease Lu Chen again.

"To be honest, human boy, you are the second interesting prey I have encountered since I came to this place."

"Your status in the human race should be the same as that of the royal family in our Jiuyou."

"When I thought that I could actually kill a human prodigy similar to the Jiuyou royal family, I couldn't help but get excited."

"Because I like to see the unwilling and resentful eyes of you prodigies when they die, as if to say that as long as I give you a little more time, you can easily defeat me."

"...But I just don't give you this time to practice, hahaha!"

After laughing, the Jade-faced Blade Mantis looked at Lu Chen with a serious look in an instant.

Then a large number of green lines began to appear on the emerald green insect armor on its body.

At this moment, a certain mysterious power in the body was also vented without reservation.

So much so that at this time, it looked like it was faintly emitting a mysterious green light.

"You can force me to use my innate ability, human boy, you are already proud enough to do this."

After the words fell, the figure of the Jade-faced Blade Mantis shook violently, and then three phantoms appeared around its body.

The teachers who saw this scene in the conference room immediately recognized the Jade-faced Blade Mantis's method.

"It appeared... the Jade-faced Blade Mantis's Three Prisons Tribulation Killing Formation."

The Three Prisons Tribulation Killing Formation is a special ability awakened by the Jade-faced Blade Mantis after completing an evolution, similar to the innate magical power of a cultivator.

The biggest feature of this ability is that the two phantoms beside the Jade-faced Blade Mantis are not the kind of visual effects that can only be used to confuse the enemy.

But they are two special clones with some of the strength of the Jade-faced Blade Mantis, which can really cause damage to the enemy.

The ability of the 'Three Hell Tribulation Killing Array' may be nothing to a strong person of the same level.

But for Lu Chen, who had a big gap in cultivation with the Jade-faced Sword Mantis, it would undoubtedly be difficult to deal with it.

Because before the Jade-faced Sword Mantis displayed this ability.

Lu Chen just managed to maintain a delicate balance with the Jade-faced Sword Beetle.

And after the Jade-Faced Sword Mantis displayed this special power, the balance between Lu Chen and the Jade-Faced Sword Mantis... was broken.

In the mall, the jade-faced sword beetle stood up from the glass guardrail on the edge of the second floor and said confidently: "Three against one, what should you do?"

To this, Lu Chen gave his own answer.

Magical power... Zixia Divine Fire!

The dazzling Zixia Body Fire covered the left half of Lu Chen's body, and a special long sword composed entirely of purple flames appeared on Lu Chen's left hand.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Chen actually changed his original starting position.

I saw him lowering his body and holding the two long swords in reverse grip.

Seeing this extremely familiar scene, the smile on the Jade-faced Sword Mantis' face froze.

This...isn't it my double sword style!

Impossible, how could this kid learn the style of my double sword after just a few fights!

Under normal circumstances, it is naturally impossible.

After all, although Lu Chen's Qinglian Huatong can copy the skills he has seen, if he wants to turn this copied skill into his own permanent skill.

Then he still needs to spend some time learning.

But coincidentally, the ability that the Jade Faced Sword Mantis was already proud of was his outstanding double-sword style.

And there are many similarities between this sword technique and sword technique!

Therefore, it was not difficult for Lu Chen to learn.

Not to mention that he himself gained a lot of experience points in this exam.

Therefore, after a few short battles, Lu Chen quickly relied on his own understanding and a mere '3000 experience points'.

I learned the Jade-faced Sword Beetle's double-sword style completely.

[Double (knife/sword) style: Dacheng (cannot be upgraded)]

[Effect: Allows the (knife/sword) technique performed by the non-dominant hand to reach 100% of the power of the original dominant hand]

[Current experience value: 1325]

In fact, if it weren't for learning the jade-faced sword beetle's double-handed sword technique.

Lu Chen originally had many chances to kill the Jade-faced Sword Beetle without even being able to use the Three Hell Tribulation Killing Formation, so he killed it directly.

But after discovering the dual-sword style, which is a very good skill for me.

Lu Chen suddenly changed his mind.

After all, a skill that allows both hands to become dominant is a big improvement for him.

Seeing Lu Chen's standard double-sword movement, the Jade-faced Sword Mantis was completely angered.

"die!!!"

boom!

The jade-faced sword beetle and two phantoms on the second floor roared out and turned into three green streams of light and struck Lu Chen.

The next second, a large number of green sword lights seemed to appear from all directions, blocking all angles that Lu Chen could avoid.

Facing this intensive attack, the double swords held in Lu Chen's hands turned into an airtight sword barrier, constantly resisting attacks from the surroundings.

Ding ding ding!

In a three-on-one situation, Lu Chen could not help but fall into a disadvantage.

Although his double sword style is very good, even better than what the Jade Faced Sword Mantis himself used.

But this advantage in swordsmanship cannot completely make up for the numerical disadvantage between him and the Jade-faced Sword Mantis.

Therefore, after fighting for more than ten moves, Lu Chen still had a lot of wounds on his body.

Obviously if this continues, Lu Chen's defeat will only be a matter of time.

But for some reason, the jade-faced sword beetle would always feel inexplicably uneasy when looking at Lu Chen's constantly rotating lotus pupils.

No, it must be resolved quickly!

During the battle, the jade-faced sword beetle seized the opportunity and slashed at Lu Chen's chest.

Lu Chen held his sword across his chest and barely blocked this attack.

But the huge force coming from above still caused Lu Chen's body to fly backwards.

However, after somersaulting in the air, his legs landed on the ground and slid for a short distance before stopping smoothly.

Look at the several wounds on Lu Chen's arms and the blood flowing from these wounds.

The jade-faced sword beetle felt that he had a chance to win.

But before it could take action, Lu Chen on the opposite side spoke in a rare move.

"Is this all you have?"

"Um?"

The jade-faced sword beetle looked at Lu Chen in astonishment, not understanding why he said that.

But it didn't take long for it to fully understand the meaning of Lu Chen's words.

The lotus pupils in Lu Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, and then two green lines started from the corners of his eyes and soon spread to his whole body.

As the Jade-faced Sword Mantis looked at the familiar lines, a terrifying thought arose in its mind.

Wait a minute, could this human race...

The next second, two phantoms appeared around Lu Chen's body.

That's right, the ability Lu Chen is currently displaying is the special ability he just used - the Three Hell Tribulation and Killing Formation.

Seeing this scene, the Jade-faced Sword Mantis was completely stunned.

If Lu Chen learned the dual-sword style thing at a glance, it would still be able to accept it reluctantly.

The scene where Lu Chen used his 'Three Hell Tribulation and Killing Formation' was completely unacceptable to it!

No, how come you, a human race, can learn the awakening power of a Nine Nether evil creature like me at a glance!

Are you a human race or an evil creature from the Nine Netherworld?

As for why Lu Chen was able to learn the Three Prisons Tribulation Formation of the Jade-faced Blade Mantis, the reason is not complicated.

The answer... lies in his Blue Lotus Huatong, which has reached the realm-breaking level.

[Blue Lotus Huatong (Twelve Blue Lotuses): Realm-breaking (Cannot be upgraded)]

[Effect: Seeing the Blue Lotus, after opening, you can look around the universe without blind spots. Short-term memory of the magic you have seen, one glance at all the magic...]

[Special effect · Blue Lotus Power: You can consume the power of one petal of Blue Lotus to strengthen the ability of a certain pupil technique]

Originally, the Blue Lotus Huatong, which was only a great success, naturally could not copy the "Three Prisons Tribulation Formation" of the Jade-faced Blade Mantis, which is very characteristic of the race.

But as the Blue Lotus Huatong reached the realm-breaking level and unlocked the special energy of the Blue Lotus Power.

Lu Chen only needs to use the Blue Lotus Power to strengthen the pupil technique of "copying".

Even if it is an exclusive ability of the non-human race, Lu Chen can also imitate it with the power of the Blue Lotus.

And this is just the enhanced pupil technique of "copying".

You should know that Lu Chen's pupil skills also include 'Strong Vision', 'Perspective', and 'Lotus Mark'.

Therefore, the real horror of the realm-breaking Azure Lotus pupil is when Lu Chen strengthens all his pupil skills at once.

Only then can the power of the realm-breaking Azure Lotus be fully realized.

Lu Chen has experimented with that effect before, and as for the result...

It can only be said that once he chooses to do so.

The ordinary foundation-building period... is vulnerable in front of him!

The Jade-faced Blade Mantis at the moment is not at the level that Lu Chen can use this trump card.

A strengthened 'copy' pupil skill... is enough.

Lu Chen looked at the Jade-faced Blade Mantis that was shocked and speechless, and a smile appeared on his face.

"If it is just from a theoretical point of view, no matter what the enemy is, they will only have one chance to attack me, because I will not fail twice in the same trick."

"But unfortunately, you... missed this opportunity."

PS: There is one more update, but it must be very late, everyone can just read it tomorrow, and Fat Tiger doesn't know when he can finish writing.

The weather has dropped sharply recently, and Fat Tiger is unlucky enough to have caught a cold again. It wasn't long ago that he recovered from his last cold, but as a result, I felt dizzy while typing today, and my throat felt like it had swallowed a razor blade. Everyone should take care of their health.
