Darkness still covers the jungle, and most of the creatures here are still sleeping. Only some little nocturnal beasts by the lake noticed the strangely churning water in the center of the swamp lake, and they let out uneasy growls and made some noise, but that was all.
Originally, there was still a dim red light flickering under the lake surface, but after a few seconds, both the light waves and the water waves became calm.
"This way, it's okay to just do it."
Ronan shrugged his shoulders awkwardly, fully interfering with the soul body in the material world, and the feeling of movement was almost the same as that of the physical body. Because of this, he could fully feel the fiery aura spreading behind him.
Just ten centimeters above the shoulders of the soul body, about level with the ears, a pair of thick and ugly ape arms spread out on both sides, slightly flexed and stretched, but the back end was empty, and no connected body could be seen, as if they came out of thin air.
The two ape arms are both more than 2 meters in length, which is higher than the height of most people, and their muscles are strong. Some people may believe that they are two figures in the dark.
Above the ape arm, the flowing lava is slightly solidified in the lake water, like twisted scales. Relatively speaking, the firelight is restrained and blends with the messy fur patterns on the body. It is eye-catching but really goes against ordinary people's aesthetics.
"Come on, move!"
Following Ronan's thoughts, Ape Arm made several movements of making fists. In addition to physical control, it also includes exerting energy and interference. For a time, the bottom of the lake was filled with filth and mud was flowing across the lake. The underwater creatures that live here, such as carps, eels, river shrimps and even alligators, wander around, drill holes, and occasionally bump into them, and they are disturbed by the potential. The ground is in a state of disarray.
Judging from the energy exerted, the power of the Rotten-mouthed Ape comes from across the boundary, and there is about a 20% to 30% loss. However, the "lava bombardment" that shakes and distorts the spiritual and material levels at the same time can still work.
In this way, and using Ronan's telekinesis ability to replace his eyes and ears, this pair of giant ape arms can also exert considerable combat power. If we consider continuous fighting, including the huge consumption of tearing the void channel in the first place, Ronan can probably hold on for one to two minutes.
This is already the most feasible solution that Ronan can find. It is the balance point that Ronan has found between the cloud world and the normal world.
As for how long it can last when fully launched, we still need to continue experimenting.
Unfortunately, it won't work this morning.
The pursuit and healing in the cloud world seriously consumed Ronan's free time. Even though he put ten thousand thoughts into continuing to study the problem of the rotten-mouthed ape, in order to prevent Qin Yikun and others in charge of security work from noticing the abnormality, he also He could only collect his mind and retract the pair of giant ape arms.
Over there in the cloud world, the rotten-mouthed ape who became a test subject was not separated into two parts. It just fell into the "fog" formed by the cross-border passage and was so distorted that it was invisible. It wasn't until Ronan "sent back" the ape arm that this huge beast turned from virtual to real and returned to the cloud world.
"From now on, you will be Yuan Yi." Randomly naming the prisoner of the rotten-mouthed ape, Ronan temporarily put aside his side of the clouds, jumped out of the lake with his soul body, and rushed back to Haitianyundu, trying to get back to a normal schedule.
When the soul body returned to the hotel, it was already past 4 o'clock in the morning, and it was time for morning classes. Ronan was destined not to have to sleep anymore... Such a living habit was not very healthy, but he had to get used to it.
After hiding in bed and adjusting his breath for a while, Ronan started doing morning exercises. He started with guidance, his movements were circuitous and slow, but he kept touching the limit of the physical body's capacity. He broke out in a thin layer of sweat in less than a quarter of an hour, and gradually got better.
Ronan entered a rare state of relaxation. His body was both tough and relaxed. He came and went with the flow, as if any difficult movement could be completed easily. This combination of guidance and yoga is most suitable for restoring physical energy.
The initial effect was good. Ronan seemed to be sleeping and waking up, and was already in a state of trance. But at some point, his heart suddenly became restless. The scenes that had happened in the cloud world before, especially the scene of being chased by five rotten-mouthed apes, kept jumping through his mind.
Through this method, Ronan truly understood what the so-called "dangerous situation" was like. He was already very nervous when he experienced it personally, but when he really recalled it, he realized that there were many more dangers that could put him in danger than he perceived at the time...
At this point, Ronan's mind could no longer calm down. He also knew that this situation was probably due to the fact that the soul body was affected by "fire poison" and the injury was not healed. His current situation is really not good. You must know that being upset will lead to confusion, and confusion will cause confusion. The circulation of Qi and blood throughout the body will also be affected, thus forming a vicious circle until the root is damaged.
"The most important thing is to collect your mind. The master of the monastery said that it is difficult to be still in silence, so go to the movement... I still have something to start with."
Once his mind changed, Ronan no longer restrained himself. A divine thought naturally follows one of the most profound trajectories in recent times and turns around. In the blink of an eye, a transparent drop of water formed out of thin air in front of his eyebrows.
The method of "gaining stillness amidst movement" that Ronan chose was the dripping sword.
In the past ten days or so, Ronan's efforts on the Dripping Sword were not much less than those in the cloud world. After all, this was the most effective way for him to consume his soul power.
Of course, just now, the "demon summoning" of forcibly involving the bad-mouthed ape into the world has successfully replaced the "pouring milk" mode of the dripping sword, both in terms of consumption and consumption speed. In the future, we probably won’t have to worry about “diseases of wealth” such as physical and spiritual imbalance.
On the other hand, the value of the dripping sword is far beyond what the word "pouring milk" can encompass. It is an extremely mature and perfect method. Whether it is to deal with enemies or practice, it can produce countless changes and is extremely plastic. Moreover, it also involves the structural changes and functions of external neurons and the interference of the soul body, etc. It seems simple at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it becomes mysterious.
Ronan would never relax in practicing the Dripping Sword no matter what.
As soon as he started using it, Ronan discovered that after all the fiddling with "Demon Summoning", when making and controlling it, it was like cooking and cooking from a high fire to a low fire, with some subtle changes in the heat.
As the water droplets appeared one after another in front of him, the "water condensation ring" structure formed in the sky was like a mirror, reflecting various subtle flaws in his thoughts.
The injuries caused by the Rotten Mouth Ape's attack before were not in place in the previous recovery. After the shaping and combination of the water condensation ring and several auxiliary structures, with extreme subtlety, several hidden injuries that were almost missed were all covered up. I found that with gradual catharsis and conditioning, I continued to improve.
Ronan thought of what the master of the monastery once said: There is a culture and a martial arts, and there is a way to relax.
That's about it.
Staring at the dozen or so water drops lined up in a row, Ronan suddenly patted his forehead again and turned on the video recording function of Liu Er to record the entire process of practice.
He did this because he needed to concentrate when condensing the Dripping Sword. Sometimes he knew that there was a defective product, but it was difficult to keep track of it. With the video recording, he can review the performance in time, which is more conducive to adjustment and progress - full concentration, repeated practice, video review, and guidance from famous teachers. Ronan has almost all of these requirements for precise practice, and his progress will naturally be rapid.
After trying it out, the video recording function was turned on, and Ronan really started practicing at this moment.
His training method is like an assembly line operation: he first concentrates on making the core structure "water condensation ring", and makes the maximum number within the preset time, ranging from one hundred to hundreds; then he starts to work on each The condensed water ring plus auxiliary structures form the complete body of the dripping sword; finally, the number of remaining complete dripping swords is included in the statistics.
This process is quite demanding. The exquisiteness of the water-condensing ring determines whether it can persist to the end; the various auxiliary structures, including the coordination between them, also have a direct impact on the lifespan of the dripping sword.
Ronan was already familiar with the job, but due to the impact of the injury to his soul body and the transformation from civil fire to martial fire, the ones he made at the beginning had many flaws. After 15 minutes, only one hundred and two complete versions of the Dripping Sword were left. twelve.
"Tsk, you've regressed!"
This video recording has almost no record value.
Although Ronan was dissatisfied, he did not seriously delete the relevant records. After all, in an actual combat environment, you may not always be full of energy and full of energy.
One hundred and twenty-two, let’s just say one hundred and twenty-two. Today’s extra match, we can consider it higher.
The next moment, one hundred and twenty-two dripping swords, controlled by Ronan's mind, flew out from the cracks in the window, soared upwards, and soon broke through the city's traffic layer, and continued to climb until they entered the troposphere where the air flow was chaotic. upper layer.
A sensing radius of over 20 kilometers allowed his dripping sword to continue climbing until it entered the stratosphere. But in that kind of environment, the meaning of exercise is lost.
Therefore, these hundreds of dripping swords stayed in the troposphere, like a group of fish swimming against the wind and waves, circling and swimming. They need to withstand the low temperatures and violent air currents at high altitudes. Sometimes they have to walk up and down to accept the test of life and death, depending on Ronan's mood.
In this way, the sturdiness and stability of the dripping sword structure can be verified. Only the tested dripping sword is a qualified dripping sword.
Ronan is already familiar with this. He can control the hundreds of "fish" while washing and dressing. He is grateful for the laundry equipment provided by the hotel: his clothes soaked with sweat last night are as clean as new.
After getting dressed, Ronan opened the door and went out. Almost at the same time as him, the door next to him opened. Qin Yikun also put on a training suit and went out to say good morning:
"Mr. Luo, let's go together."
"Let's go together, how about the green oxygen track at Zhixing College?"
"no problem."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Instead of taking the elevator, they took the fire exit directly, ran and jumped all the way, and started their morning exercise schedule.
