The positions of the ninety-nine stone pillars are fixed, but thousands of people come here. As a result, everyone will inevitably fight to seize the position above the stone pillar. But here, the competition is not about your strength, the competition is about your understanding of combat skills.
The combat skills are said to be combat skills created by the Three Emperors for the human race, and later through the efforts of the Twelve Ancient Ancestors and many powerful humans. Today's human combat skills are all-encompassing, ranging from the simplest fighting methods to powerful combat skills that are so incredible that they can rival supernatural powers.
This place is where the Houtu tribe tests human geniuses, and the combat skills that can appear here are naturally extraordinary. These ninety-nine stone pillars are engraved with the most advanced combat skills of the Houtu tribe.
These ninety-nine stone pillars are arranged from the outside to the inside. They are all created by the supreme power of the human race. Among them, the outermost stone pillars are engraved with the weakest combat skills. The closer to the center, the more powerful the combat skills are. Among them The most dazzling thing is undoubtedly the stone pillar in the middle.
This stone pillar is much taller than the other stone pillars, and a combat skill called "Nine Styles of Driving Demons" is engraved on it. There are also the largest number of human geniuses surrounding this stone pillar. Naturally, these people want to understand this combat skill, because this combat skill was created by the ancient ancestor Houtu and is said to have supreme power.
Understanding combat skills is extremely difficult. Although some people have initially understood combat skills and are able to practice on stone pillars, these people have basically understood the combat skills on the outer stone pillars. Although these combat skills are also powerful in the human race, It is created by the author, but it is relatively simple to understand.
Entering the second level of Xuanshi Mountain, the ability to comprehend one combat skill is already the limit, and it will not give you time to comprehend other combat skills. Everyone is ambitious. If they can understand Houtu Guzu's combat skills, no one will choose to learn other combat skills.
Only after trying it and realizing that it is impossible to understand Houtu Guzu's combat skills will he settle for the next best thing and choose to learn other combat skills. The same goes for Lu Yi. The first choice is naturally Houtu Ancient Ancestor's combat skills. If it doesn't work, he will choose to learn other combat skills.
Sitting cross-legged near this stone pillar, Lu Yi looked at it intently. On this stone pillar, there are carved scenes of a female war goddess fighting against monsters. There are nine carvings in total. Each carving depicts a scene and corresponds to a combat skill. Together, it is the "Dang" created by Houtu Guzu. "Nine Demonic Styles".
The nine sculptures in "Nine Styles of Driving Demons" are: Falling Stars, Seal of Subduing Demons, Stepping on Demons in All Directions, Destroying Demons on Earth, Destruction in Ten Directions, Draining Demons in Nine Netherworlds, Rejuvenation of All Things, Losing Color of Heaven and Earth, and Earth of the Emperor, Heaven and Queen.
At this time, what Lu Yi was looking at was the first sculpture "Falling Star" in "Nine Styles of Driving Demons". At first glance, Lu Yi was so confused that he couldn't understand what this sculpture was about. This carving is quite simple. It tells the story of the female war goddess transformed by Houtu Guzu killing demons.
But the engraved picture is static. There is neither a description of the moves nor an explanation of this combat technique. If you want to understand this combat technique, you don't know where to start. Lu Yi even focused his thoughts on this carving, but there was no reaction from the carving.
Whether it was condensing the power of the earth, the power of blood, or even the principles of the earth that Lu Yi understood, Lu Yi tried it over and over again, but nothing worked. In the end, Lu Yi could only calm down and observe the carving itself carefully.
Slowly, Lu Yi focused his attention on the hands of the female war goddess in the sculpture. In this carving, the female war goddess holds a ball in her left hand and throws it at the demon clan, who is in a state of falling apart.
"Since this move is called Falling Star, then this move will eventually fall on the word Meteor Star!" After careful observation for a long time, Lu Yi's spirit gradually hit the ball in the hands of the female God of War.
After careful observation, Lu Yi gradually discovered something unusual. It turns out that there is actually a strong concentration of the power of the earth on the sphere, but this power of the earth is unusually complex and contains quite profound principles.
"It turns out that this type of falling star uses an extremely mysterious method to condense the power of the earth, and finally forms a falling star from the sky, destroying the opponent with the overwhelming force of Mount Tai!" As Lu Yi gradually understood, he gradually gained something.
However, Lu Yi's current understanding of this style is only superficial. The key to truly practicing this style is the mysterious method. Only by mastering that mysterious method can the power of the earth be gathered to form a meteor.
This mysterious method is not only very complicated, but also requires the practitioner to have a sufficient understanding of the power of the earth. Lu Yi was not afraid of this. Because of the first level, Lu Yi's understanding of the power of the earth rose to another level, and he even came into contact with the more profound principles of the earth.
Gradually, Lu Yi seemed to see an extremely mysterious picture. All Lu Yi needed to do was to use the power of the earth to copy the picture. If he succeeded, it would not be difficult to initially master the falling star technique.
"I didn't expect it to be so complicated!" After another failure, Lu Yi's forehead was already covered with sweat.
A lot of time had passed by now, and there were already about two thousand people in the square. However, no other human genius has arrived for a long time. As expected, there are only so many people who have made it to the second level of Xuanshi Mountain this time.
There are still many people beside the stone pillar of "Nine Styles of Swinging Demons", but so far, no one has understood the first style of "Nine Styles of Swinging Demons" - Falling Stars. This shows how difficult it is to comprehend this combat technique. .
To comprehend this combat technique, the practitioner needs to condense the power of the earth into a mysterious pattern. This requires the cultivator to first understand the mysterious pattern, and to have sufficient control over his or her own power of the earth, in order to truly condense his or her own power of the earth into a meteor.
Lu Yi asked himself that he didn't have much problem controlling the power of the earth. But the pattern was extremely mysterious and complicated. Lu Yi tried several times, but always failed by the smallest margin, and still failed.
"However, practicing this combat technique has many similarities with practicing martial arts. Maybe I can use this as a breakthrough point!" After several failures, Lu Yi continued to reflect.
In Lu Yi's view, combat skills are not essentially different from martial arts. They are both techniques for harnessing one's own power. It's just that the "Nine Styles of Driving the Demon" uses the power of the earth, while the martial arts uses the innate true energy.
Houtu Ancestor was naturally a warrior far beyond the innate realm in terms of realm, but after all, the barbaric human race was only born a hundred thousand years ago, and their combat skills were far from mature. If you think of the "Nine Styles of Conquering Demons" as martial arts, they have many things in common.
For example, in the first move of "Nine Moves of Demon Swinging", you need to understand the mysterious pattern, and then condense the power of the earth into the shape of the pattern to form a falling star, thus practicing the falling star. The same goes for martial arts training. You must first memorize the route of performing the exercises, and then form moves based on your internal strength.
The more Lu Yi thought about it, the more it made sense, so he began to use his experience in practicing martial arts to practice the "Nine Styles of Demon Driving". Although he still failed during the period, Lu Yi gradually seemed to have found a pattern. After each failure, he could make progress in the next attempt.
In the bronze palace, the scene of the second pass of Xuanshi Mountain appeared in the bronze mirror. At this time, a human race powerful man said: "This time, more than two thousand people broke into the second pass of Xuanshi Mountain. I didn't know that this time these What combat skills can the little guy master?"
"There are ninety-nine combat skills in total, among which there are combat skills created by us. If someone can understand them, they can naturally become our disciples!" Another human race expert said.
"Our cultivation is still too weak, and the combat skills we have created are far inferior to those of several human kings, let alone the ancient ancestors of Houtu!" A human race powerful man said.
"The combat skills created by several human kings and the ancient ancestors of Houtu are all extremely mysterious, and we were not able to understand them back then. Although there are many geniuses this time, I am afraid no one can understand them!" A powerful human being sighed. said.
At this time, Lu Yi was still trying to condense the mysterious pattern. Although he had failed countless times, with each attempt, Lu Yi's understanding of the pattern became deeper and deeper, and he became closer and closer to success.
"I didn't expect that practicing this combat skill would be of great help in understanding the power of the earth!" After another failure, Lu Yi rested and regained his energy while also thinking quietly.
Because he must carefully gather the power of the earth every time, Lu Yi not only has stronger control over the power of the earth now, but also has a further understanding of the power of the earth. In this attempt again and again, Lu Yi felt that he was very close to success.
After fully recovering his energy, Lu Yi once again began to try to condense the mysterious pattern. Lu Yi was already familiar with the previous parts after so many attempts, and soon Lu Yi had condensed most of the mysterious patterns.
Lu Yi was extremely cautious at this time, because the further back he went, the more complicated the condensed pattern became. If there was a slight mistake, Lu Yi would most likely lose all his previous efforts. Gradually, under Lu Yi's control, the power of the earth slowly formed a mysterious pattern.
"It's finally done!" It wasn't until this moment that Lu Yi smiled meaningfully, and his tense nerves finally relaxed.
At this time, on Lu Yi's left hand, a meteor formed by the power of the earth was spinning. Although this meteorite is small, there is a heart-stopping power coming from it. And as the meteorite condensed, Lu Yi finally mastered the first form of the "Nine Forms of Demon Swinging".
"Rumble" waves of vibrations came, and all the human geniuses who were practicing combat skills in the square opened their eyes at this time. In the incredulous eyes of everyone, Lu Yi's body rose up from the ground and fell behind the representative. On top of the stone pillar of Tu Guzu's "Nine Styles of Demon Swinging".
