Chapter 8
After finding out that there was nothing wrong with his body, he breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking back to the battle with the Qingxuan puppets just now, Su Chen still felt a lingering fear.
The Qingxuan puppet, which was not afraid of pain and had skin and bones of iron, was still a bit too tricky for him, a cultivator who was only in the Qi gathering stage.
Ordinary skills might not be able to leave any scratches on these Qingxuan puppets at all. If his sharp technique had not reached the perfection level, it would have been extremely difficult for him to hurt these Qingxuan puppets.
Because he had just experienced the feeling of "death," he was not in a hurry to leave the passage and continue to challenge the Qingxuan puppets. Instead, he sat down cross-legged and began to summarize the previous battle.
In terms of strength alone, a single Qingxuan puppet is much more powerful than an average cultivator in the second level of the Qi gathering stage. The cultivators in this period often did not master any magic skills or techniques, so their physical strength was also very average.
But what about these Qingxuan puppets? Their bodies are invulnerable to swords and spears, and they are not afraid of pain or death. For them, exchanging their injuries for others is very normal.
Not to mention the second level of the Qi gathering stage; even if he was at the third or fourth level of the Qi gathering stage, he didn't think he would be a match for the Qingxuan puppet in a one-on-one fight.
But after thinking calmly for a moment, Su Chen still thought of many ways to deal with these guys. Although the Qingxuan puppets have bones of steel, due to this, they can move very slowly. Even though their speed during the explosion is far beyond ordinary people, compared to ordinary cultivators, it is far behind.
Therefore, if he becomes familiar with their attack methods, it is not difficult for him to avoid their attacks. But after considering the space of this underground tomb, there are ten Qingxuan puppets. It is not idealistic to be able to avoid attacks by these puppets.
Fortunately, these puppets only know physical skills. Otherwise, Su Chen really wouldn't be able to deal with these puppets in a short amount of time. After thinking for a while, Su Chen finally came up with a solution.
"Facing these metallic puppets, either I have to possess extreme destructive power or defeat them before they can get close to me."
"Or I can be more agile than them and avoid their attacks."
"Let's not consider the previous option for now; even if I had such destructive skill now, I do not have enough cultivation to perform it."
"So when dealing with them, I'd better start with physical skills. There should be suitable physical skills for me to choose from in the school's treasure pavilion."
With this thought in mind, he immediately exited the dungeon and returned to reality. If someone else saw it, they might just think he was resting by closing his eyes for a while. But just now he had experienced a one-sided massacre. And one being abused was him.
To wash away the shame of being overtaken by the Qingxuan puppet, Su Chen carefully searched for a suitable body movement in the treasure pavilion. He doesn't have many credits left now, so he must use them carefully.
After all, whether it was renting a training room or exchanging for the Purple Cloud Divine Light technique, it had already cost him a lot of credits. These credits may not mean much to students in the Heaven Dao Class or the Earth Dao Class, but for him in the Human Dao Class, it is a considerable expense. Credits are not easy to come by, so use them well and cherish them.
After some searching, Su Chen finally picked out what he wanted from the numerous skills in the treasure pavilion.
[Floating Cloud Step]
[Effect: After practicing, the speed of body movement can be greatly improved. After mastering, you can walk in the air for a short amount of time.]
[Practice requirements: Water Spiritual Root]
[Price: 200 credits]
[Water Dragon Roar]
[Effect: The sword strikes out like a dragon, and when it is fully mastered, it can acquire the power of the dragon's roar].
[Practice requirements: Water Spiritual Root]
[Price: 300 credits]
At first, Su Chen was just thinking about finding a suitable body technique, but after he found the Floating Cloud Step, he quickly noticed the "Sword Technique: Water Dragon Roar" that was recommended to be practiced next to this body technique.
After seeing the effect of the Water Dragon Roar, Su Chen admitted that he was moved. Although he possessed the 'Perfection Level Sharp Technique', he did not have the swordsmanship to bring out the power of this technique.
His fighting style has always been mostly simple hacking and slashing, which is a waste of natural resources. But the appearance of the Water Dragon Roar undoubtedly makes up for this shortcoming.
If combined with the 'floating cloud steps' movement, Su Chen felt that his strength could be greatly improved in a short period of time. It would not be that troublesome to deal with the ten Qingxuan puppets in the underground tomb.
"Okay, that's it."
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that 'Water Dragon Roar' and 'Floating Cloud Step' were very suitable for his current self, so he decisively bought them. Not long after, Su Chen's mobile phone received the cultivation methods of these two secret books. After reading them carefully, two new skills appeared in Su Chen's skill panel.
[Water Dragon Roar: Getting Started 1/150]
[Floating cloud step: Getting Started 1/100]
[Current experience value: 300]
"As long as I can defeat those ten Qingxuan puppets, the experience points I've spent now will earn back with interest."
Cultivation of immortality, add points!
[You consumed 150 experience points, and the Water Dragon roar was upgraded to a 'small success level'...]
[You consumed 100 experience points, and the Floating Cloud Step was upgraded to 'small success level'...]
