Of course it won't work if it's too weak.
But it's also not okay to be too strong and take over the spotlight.
Therefore, if you want to join Xu Yan's group and use Xu Yan's group to seek benefits during the period of blood erosion, Lin Jiu's strength must be within a limit that is neither strong nor weak. .
The only problem is, how to grasp the limit of whether it is neither strong nor weak?
"That's all." After a moment, Lin Jiucai finally made a decision.
As if he was accumulating strength, his spiritual consciousness rippled out from his body and turned into a heavenly and earthly net, wrapping the entire Jiaomu Inn within it and grasping all the energy of heaven and earth in the inn in the palm of his hand.
The next moment, he took a deep breath, and the dazzling sword energy, almost turned into light, burst out from his fingertips, and then fell straight into the sword test stone.
The moment the sword energy fell, the ice-crystal sword-testing stone began to ripple, and ripples spread out in all directions.
After the indestructible sword energy fell into the sword test stone, it was like a huge boulder smashed into the ocean. Even with endless power, it could not touch the bottom of the ocean at all.
In the inn, everyone's attention fell on the sword energy that was 'breaking the wind and cutting the waves' in the sword test stone.
But Lin Jiu's soul, which was covering the Jiaomu Inn at this time, was observing all the practitioners in the inn from different angles, all directions, and no blind spots.
Especially those practitioners who threatened him were the top priority of Lin Jiu's observation.
——Lin Jiu's idea is very simple. Since he himself is not sure what kind of strength he needs to show in order to be 'neither strong nor weak', he will just have to look at the reactions of these people.
If these people are dismissive, or let out a long sigh of relief, it is obviously because the strength they have shown is not enough.
If these people were frightened and fearful, it would naturally mean that the strength he displayed exceeded their expectations - that is to say, he was too strong.
As long as you control the changes in your own strength according to the changes in the expressions and mentality of these people, you will naturally be able to show the most suitable strength that is neither strong nor weak, so that the 'cooperation' between each other can be in a quite comfortable state.
"It's now." When Lin Jiu's strength reached 70%, most of the eyes in the inn became horrified, while a few people's eyes became solemn, and Xu Yan's eyes opposite Lin Jiu, Just when the surprise was about to turn into fear, the panic-stricken sword energy collapsed in an instant.
The strong wind transformed from the shattered sword energy blew in the Jiaomu Inn. In the strong wind, all the practitioners felt as if they had walked into the sword forest of the mountain of swords. After being chopped off, he couldn't help but mobilize his magic power to defend himself.
"Huh...!" Lin Jiu breathed a long sigh of relief, and the paleness on his face suddenly disappeared.
——It seemed as if the power of the sword energy was beyond his control, so much so that the collapse of the sword energy caused him to suffer backlash.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, are you okay?" The fear in Xu Yan's eyes disappeared in an instant, leaving only full of surprise. Seeing the paleness on Lin Jiu's face, he asked with great concern.
"After all, it's still a little bit worse." After taking a few deep breaths, Lin Jiucai opened his eyes and looked at the sword test stone in front of him, his eyes full of regret.
An extremely clear sword mark penetrated the sword test stone, just like a dam blocking the river and the sea, running all the way from the surface of the water to the bottom of the water.
It's a pity that the sword energy was not enough after all, so the dam only reached the bottom of the water, but never completely penetrated the river and the sea.
Lin Jiu's regret is natural——
With only one step left, this sword energy can completely tear open the sword test stone of the soul stage.
"Yes, it's such a pity." Xu Yan suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and echoed Lin Jiu's words, fearing that he might have irritated Lin Jiu, "Let's not talk about other things, just talking about the killing power, Fellow Daoist Lin's ability , it is already the pinnacle of the Zhenzhi Yuan Shen realm, but it is a pity that it still misses the last breath. Otherwise, everyone like us will be able to see a rare event like cutting off the sword test stone with one sword, which is a rare event in a thousand years. ”
"That's it for 70% of the strength." Looking at the sword marks slowly closing on the sword test stone, Lin Jiu nodded in his heart.
Refining the power of the stars in Xuan Shang Dao to supplement the sword energy, and combining the three treasures of the human body with the three treasures of heaven and earth, will greatly help his own strength. Lin Jiu knows this very well.
And his strength has also improved by leaps and bounds in this month, and Lin Jiu knows it even more clearly.
But Lin Jiu had no clue as to how far his strength had improved.
But now, under this sword test stone, Lin Jiu finally had a precise understanding of his current strength.
——70% of the strength, plus one more point, is enough to tear the sword test stone. This means that Lin Jiu only needs to use 70% of the strength, which is enough to cause damage to the strong man who has done enough protection. Threatened.
"If I use my full strength, even if I don't have the means left by my master, I can still face the strong man who has overcome the tribulation and win the battle." Lin Jiu thought to himself.
Just this sword energy can already make Lin Jiu calmly face the strong man who has overcome the tribulation. If he shows his extremely powerful blood energy and uses the methods of the demon clan, the power he can burst out will naturally be beyond mention.
"Just a thin line makes the difference between heaven and earth." Lin Jiu stretched out his hands, looking like he hated his 'broken body' extremely.
It's like the reason why his sword energy couldn't break through that barrier just now was entirely because of his physical body that was deprived of energy and blood.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, don't worry." Xu Yan saw Lin Jiu's unwillingness. He rolled his eyes and immediately changed his words.
"The blood essence stone obtained after killing the Rakshasa people is a treasure that strengthens the body and nourishes the essence and blood. With the ability of Taoist friends, you and I join forces to hunt down those Rakshasa people. It is really a matter of digging into the bag - Lin Dao Friends, you can rest assured that as long as you have enough Blood Essence Stones, you can recover from any injuries caused by damage to your Essence Essence."
Xu Yan took care of everything.
After seeing Lin Jiu's 'strength', he suddenly discovered that Lin Jiu's existence was exactly his best teammate - Lin Jiu's extreme strength was enough to make those Rakshasa people win completely. At that moment, his flesh and blood were torn apart, and the next moment, he could immediately harvest the lives of the Rakshasa people.
The best thing is that judging from Lin Jiu's performance, after bursting out to his ultimate strength, Lin Jiu himself will also suffer a certain amount of backlash, which undoubtedly minimizes Lin Jiu's threat to him.
"A match made in heaven!"
“What a match made in heaven!”
"The opportunity for me to overcome the tribulation must be during this blood erosion period." Xu Yan thought confidently, and his eyes when looking at Lin Jiu became gentler and more eager.
On the other side, the old shopkeeper of the inn looked at everyone with disdain in his eyes - the period of blood erosion occurs only once in twenty-eight years, how could this go wrong?
