Zhao Lin saw the changes that had taken place in Ji Zhang and finally understood why he was so bold. It turned out that he had practiced the divine body technique.
There are many spells in Taoism that strengthen the physical body, usually called body arts, such as divine power spells, divine walking spells, light body spells, iron arm spells, golden bell spells...
Physical skills are generally only suitable for close combat, so apart from divine movement, few monks are willing to study this skill intensively.
Divine Body Technique is a second-level spell that combines almost all the advantages of Physical Technique and is even more powerful.
Before Ji Zhang practiced Taoism, he was a martial arts genius in the mortal world and had excellent martial arts talent.
After entering the Tao, he still had a special liking for physical arts, and after establishing his foundation, he worked hard to practice divine physical arts.
Whenever there is a fight, if there is a chance, just use physical skills to defeat the opponent.
Therefore, when Ji Zhang saw Zhao Lin abandoning the turtle style and trying to fight hand to hand, he was not surprised but happy, thinking: "This saves me a lot of effort."
In just one or two breaths, Zhao Lin rushed towards him and quickly struck out with a stone roaring fist!
Ji Zhang raised his fist to meet him, with a trace of contempt on his lips. How could a mere mortal martial arts compare to the second-level physical skills?
boom!
The two fists collided, and the sea water surged.
Zhao Lin took three steps back and managed to steady his body.
Ji Zhang only shook his head and took a step laterally.
Zhao Lin was secretly surprised. Ever since he absorbed Xiong Zhen's soul, he had never been matched in terms of strength.
After cultivating the Taoism, although the spirit beast map disappears, the strength increases with each level of cultivation.
This person's strength is actually stronger than his own, no wonder he dares to fight at close range.
Ji Zhang was even more surprised. He had been practicing divine body skills for many years and didn't even look down on physical skills. He didn't expect Zhao Lin to be able to compete with him.
"Strength alone is not enough!"
Zhao Lin's thoughts flashed, and he rubbed his body again, punching out like lightning, making a faint sound of thunder.
Thunder Fist!
Ji Zhang felt the thunder power of Zhao Lin's fist and did not dare to be careless. He punched to meet him again, adding a layer of water power to his fist.
Bang bang bang...
The two exchanged blows quickly underwater, each move stronger than the last.
The seawater rolled violently like boiling water, rolling up the sand and gravel on the bottom of the sea and shooting them all around.
The surrounding reef algae was instantly shot into a sieve, and the fish monster and clam monster that had no time to escape were killed and injured.
As the fight progressed, Ji Zhang's brows gradually furrowed.
He has always been conceited and has never been defeated in close combat, but this is the first time he has encountered such an opponent.
Although Zhao Lin's strength is slightly inferior to his own, his movement is extremely fast. When he moves, his feet seem to be stepping on some mysterious steps.
Every step seemed to be carefully calculated, and his movements were erratic and unpredictable. Even though he was so close, his fist always fell into the air, which made Ji Zhang extremely depressed.
What particularly troubled him was that Zhao Lin's fists still had all kinds of energy. One moment it was bone-chilling, the other moment it was thunderous. Until now, his arms were numb after the fight.
If this continues, the boat may capsize in the gutter.
"I'm sure I have some skills, but that's it for now!"
Ji Zhang suddenly smiled strangely, and his figure flashed quickly, pulling out an afterimage.
After a wave of thunderous spiritual power, two identical figures appeared!
"What kind of illusion is this?"
Zhao Lin was taken aback and immediately released ultrasound, trying to figure out which one was a real person and which one was an illusion.
There are many illusions in Taoism, especially water magic.
For example, water illusion can reproduce illusions that can be mistaken for real ones.
The higher-level Mirror Body Fragmentation Technique can even release fake spells to confuse opponents in a battle of wits.
But this time the situation is a bit strange...
When the ultrasonic waves came into contact with the two figures, they were actually reflected back!
Scanning again with spiritual consciousness will give the same result.
"No way, both can't be true!"
Zhao Lin's face was full of shock. Seeing two Ji Zhangs attacking him at the same time, using different moves on their hands, he could only regard them as real people.
He used the wild horse's mane parting move and punched the two of them each.
Thump thump thump…
Zhao Lin took several steps back, feeling horrified.
The force from both fists was extremely real, both of them... were real!
How can this be?
Then I thought about it, suddenly thought of a possibility, and quickly took a look at the spiritual chart.
I saw four words appearing on the seventh grid of the spiritual cultivation map, just above the Thunder Blade Technique: Thunder Shadow Clone!
Suddenly it dawned on me: it turned out to be a clone spell!
The clone spell is different from the illusion spell. The condensed clone not only has the same appearance as the original body, but also has spiritual consciousness, mana and short-term memory, and can think and fight independently.
Only when the spell ends will the consciousness and spiritual power return to the original body.
This can explain why there was a fluctuation in Lei Xing's spiritual power just now, and both Ji Zhangs have attack power.
One is the main body and the other is the clone!
In just such a flash, Zhao Lin fought seven or eight moves with the two of them.
After using the Raikage clone, the strength of the two Ji Zhangs was obviously weaker than before.
However, the two of them used different moves and worked closely together, making them even more difficult to deal with.
Two fists were unable to defeat four hands. Zhao Lin was overwhelmed by his left and right, and soon fell into a disadvantage.
In less than twenty rounds, he received a palm on his shoulder and stumbled back a few steps.
Fortunately, the spirit of Pipa Catfish helped him recover from his injuries quickly, but even so, Zhao Lin felt that the blood and energy in his body were surging, and there was some stagnation between punches and kicks.
"You are a martial artist, I will use martial arts to defeat you!"
Ji Zhang laughed loudly and punched hard.
The other Ji Zhang had a calm expression and had enough energy to prevent Zhao Lin from escaping.
"If you continue to fight, you will definitely die."
Zhao Lin knew that he was facing a life-and-death crisis. He slashed with his cross-arm and slashed into the air, temporarily forcing the two of them back. Then he grabbed an escape talisman and slapped it with his palm.
With a "bang" sound, the talisman suddenly exploded, releasing a cloud of black smoke.
The power of the Escape Talisman was greatly reduced in the water, and it only covered an area less than five feet in radius, but it was enough for Zhao Lin to hide in it.
"It's a little trick, do you think you can escape with this spell?"
Ji Zhang snorted coldly and did not rush into the black mist. The original body and the clone each guarded one side.
Just wait for the spell to expire, and then work together to kill Zhao Lin.
Zhao Lin also knew that it was impossible to escape with the concealment technique, and he did this just to buy time.
Seeing that Ji Zhang didn't follow, he quickly took out the small Liangyi array, threw out the four-pole array flag, and then punched the array into the array plate.
When the black fog dissipated, the small Liangyi array had been opened, and Zhao Lin's figure disappeared.
Both Ji Zhang had surprised expressions on their faces.
With his eyesight, he could certainly see that there was a magic circle in front of him.
What surprised him was that in such a hurry, Zhao Lin actually laid out a magic circle.
"The formation was set up so quickly. Could it be the Little Liangyi Formation?"
Although Ji Zhang did not specialize in formations, he was a foundation-building monk after all. He had a long life and was involved in various Taoist arts. He quickly thought of a possibility.
"You think you'll be fine if you hide in the magic circle?"
Ji Zhang narrowed his eyes, sneered twice, flicked his finger at his clone, and shot out a beam of white light.
The clone instantly changed from entity to phantom, and then returned to the original body in a snap.
Thunder Shadow Clone, like other thunder spells, consumes quite a lot of mana.
Since Zhao Lin couldn't come out for a while, Ji Zhang temporarily took back his clone.
Next, he circled around the small Liangyi array, with a trace of determination in his eyes.
If it were a real second-order magic array with two rites and four images, Ji Zhang would not be able to crack it, but the simplified small liangyi array could not defeat him.
There are generally three methods to crack the magic circle.
One is to use powerful spells to forcefully open the magic circle.
Ji Zhang was not prepared to do this. He was in the state of transformation and could not use the Dacheng-level second-level spells. Forcibly attacking the magic circle would be time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it might also allow Zhao Lin to take advantage of the loophole.
There is another method. The person attacking the formation is familiar with the formation, proficient in Qimen Dunjia, Bagua Guangxiang, and can calculate all the "sects" of the formation.
As long as you step in the right direction, you can break through the magic circle without any effort.
This method is the most labor-saving, but since Ji Zhang is not a formation master, this method will not work.
The third method is a compromise between the first two: use spells to test all directions of the array, find weaknesses, and then gradually crack them.
This usually takes more time, but the small Liangyi array set up by Zhao Lin is only three feet in diameter, which is suitable for this method.
Thinking of this, Ji Zhang raised his hand and released a "Water Net Technique".
Water Net Technique is an ordinary first-level spell that uses water aura to condense threads to form a large net, which is mostly used to block and trap enemies.
After a moment, a large net appeared above the magic circle, slowly falling down, covering the entire magic circle.
Ji Zhang closed his fingers and tightened the water net.
Under the pressure, the outer barrier of the magic circle began to change. Some places bulged outwards, some places sunk, and some places remained unchanged.
Feeling the mana fluctuations coming from the water net, Ji Zhang quickly found the weak spot in the first layer of barrier and aimed a water spear at that spot.
boom!
The water spear hit the barrier, causing the small Liangyi array to vibrate slightly.
Ji Zhang smiled slightly and attacked five times with the water spear.
Just hearing a soft "pop" sound, the outermost barrier of the magic circle collapsed and disappeared, "shrinking" an inch inside.
Seeing that the spell was taking effect, Ji Zhang continued to do the same, using the water net to feel the mana layout on the outer layer of the magic circle, and then find the weak point to attack.
Breaking layer by layer, the speed is getting faster and faster.
"It looks like the magic circle will be broken in less than a moment!"
Seeing the situation outside, Zhao Lin's eyes flashed with worry.
Before going to sea, he was fully prepared for the difficulties he might encounter, but he never expected that the Diandan Sect would actually send realm-changing monks to crush him with realms.
He was no match for the opponent in a fight, nor was he an opponent in close combat. Zhao Lin could only think of other ways.
It is definitely not possible to use the magic circle to waste time, because once the magic circle is broken, the formation patterns on it will be temporarily disabled, and it will take at least an hour or two to recover.
The Concentration Technique doesn't work either. This spell is only effective for monks of the same level until it reaches great perfection. Although the realm of the realm-changing monks has been downgraded, their spiritual consciousness is still the same as that of the foundation-building monks.
Zhao Lin searched his guts and couldn't think of a way to deal with it. He could only look inside the spiritual map in the sea to see what other spells could save the situation.
Air Trapping Technique: Suppressed in the water, its power is only 30%, and it cannot trap Ji Zhang.
Waterbending: No matter how fast the diving spell is, it cannot be faster than the attack spell. It is purely a luxury to hope to use it to escape.
Thunder Blade Technique: The casting time is too long, and it is impossible to pose a threat to the realm-changing monks...
Zhao Lin glanced over and noticed the words on Thunder Blade Technique, and his heart jumped twice.
Raikage clone!
Just when he was fighting with Ji Zhang, the thunder shadow clone's spell had been captured.
There is a five-petal plum blossom next to the font!
"You use the clone, and I will use the clone. Treat the other person in his own way!"
Zhao Lin's eyes flashed and he immediately made a decision: practice this magic!
The Taoism of the Di An Sect was passed down from the Cheng Hua Sect, and the spells of the Qi Refining Realm were almost copied, but when it came to the Foundation Establishment Realm, it embarked on a more extreme path.
Although many spells are powerful, they have shortcomings of one kind or another.
But it has to be said that it does have its own uniqueness, and the Raikage clone is an example.
Zhao Lin was determined and immediately released the spiritual power stored in the spiritual chart to analyze the thunder shadow clone spell.
The spiritual energy is released, and the petals of the plum blossom begin to turn from gray to red.
Halfway through the analysis, the spiritual energy was exhausted. Zhao Lin quickly took out the first-grade spiritual beads seized from the stout monk and quickly absorbed the spiritual energy inside.
The spiritual energy in the first-grade spiritual beads was as huge as the sea. Zhao Lin absorbed it for a while and stopped when he felt that it was more than needed.
Continue to activate the spiritual cultivation chart and push the Raikage clone to mastery level!
After a while, Ji Zhang's decades of experience in practicing magic flowed into Zhao Lin's heart like a gurgling stream, giving him a deeper understanding of this magic.
The Raikage clone can condense a physical clone.
The clone possesses the caster's spiritual consciousness, magic power, and a certain ability to resist blows.
The spell has a major premise: the clone acquires the abilities of the original owner, and the original owner also reduces the abilities of the corresponding part, and the total amount will not increase or decrease.
As for the strength of the clone, it is closely related to the magic attainment.
When Raikage's clone has reached the entry level, the clone can only gain at most half of the original owner's abilities, and cannot move more than ten feet away from the original owner.
After cultivating to the proficiency level, the clone can gain 10% of the abilities of the original owner, and the distance from the original owner can be as wide as twenty feet.
At the first level of Xiaocheng, the clone can gain 20% of the ability, and the distance from the original owner can be kept within forty feet.
At the first level of proficiency, the clone gains up to 40% of its abilities, and the distance between it and the original owner remains within eighty feet.
At the Dacheng level, the clone's ability can reach 50%, which is equal to the original owner, and the maximum distance is 160 feet.
As for the perfection level, although Ji Zhang has not cultivated to this level, he still has related memories.
The Perfect Level Raikage Clone Spell can create two clones, and each clone can gain up to 30% of its abilities.
There is no limit to the distance between the main body and the clone, as long as they are within the coverage of spiritual consciousness.
Zhao Lin mastered the spell and started practicing it immediately.
The figure moved, dragging out an afterimage.
Then the body froze, and two identical Zhao Lins appeared in the formation.
Zhao Lin glanced at the clone, his eyes dazed for a moment. This feeling was very wonderful, and there was an indescribable weirdness.
The two people have the same mind, and Zhao Lin is fully aware of Fenxin's thoughts.
But on the other hand, the clone is not a puppet and has its own consciousness, which comes from Zhao Lin's past memories. (End of chapter)
