"Now try the new weapon I forged for you!" Eagle Owl ordered to Lingyu.
"Okay, Teacher Eagle Owl!"
Although Ling Yu, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, was still very weak, he could not refuse the eagle owl who had made such a big sacrifice for himself. He stood up with difficulty and took a few steps forward. First, he used his demon power to take back his brand new jade sleeve brocade. However, the process of taking them back into his sleeves was a little painful. After all, at this time, the jade sleeve brocade was The frame and the feathers on it are not his own.
But he could clearly hear the clear sound like a sword being sheathed when he retracted the jade sleeve brocade, and because they still contained the magic power of the eagle owl, when he retracted them, the power seemed to change. became his own. Most of the pain and fatigue caused by the Eagle Owl when he reshaped the weapon suddenly recovered, and the color returned to his pale cheeks.
With the recovery of his condition, he once again used his demon power to throw out the jade sleeve brocade. This time it was much smoother than when he put it away just now. The countless jade sleeve brocade sometimes twisted like big snakes in the air, and sometimes they were intertwined. Forming a huge spear for him to wield.
The eagle owl looked at it and nodded in admiration: "Yes, it seems that the reshaping was quite successful. This is the sharp blade I gave you. It is essentially different from the Jade Sleeve Brocade you had before, because it is It is made according to my Demon Owl Brocade, so let’s call it Jade Owl Brocade!”
"Jade Owl Brocade, okay!" Although Ling Yu said yes, he was still intoxicated with the joy of getting a new weapon. After all, he was still just a teenager. He couldn't help but leap into the air and dance with his jade owl brocade.
While the Eagle Owl was admiring his dance, he was also studying it secretly. Ling Yu's body is very soft, and his movements are light and graceful without losing strength. It can be said that he is strong and soft at the same time. Moreover, compared to the Eagle Owl himself, Ling Yu's control of the Jade Owl Brocade seems to be more precise. This is his advantage. . But he also has a fatal flaw, that is, his control of demon power and fighting skills are completely unsystematic. They should be formed naturally by relying entirely on his own exploration. How much potential he still has can be seen from his current actions. Can't feel it at all.
"Let me test how capable you are!"
As the Eagle Owl spoke, he also called out the Demon Owl Brocade on his right, turned them into a sword, and flew into the air to attack Ling Yu, wanting to test his skills.
Seeing this, Ling Yu had no choice but to put away the uncontrollable joy in his heart just now and concentrate on facing the test from the Eagle Owl. While dodging the Eagle Owl's attack, he controlled his Jade Owl brocade to return from all directions, stabbing the Eagle Owl's back with its awl-like tip. But in just a blink of an eye, the eagle owl completely disappeared in front of him. When he came to his senses again, he found that the sword in the Eagle Owl's hand was already pressed against his right shoulder.
"When did you come behind me?" he asked in surprise.
"You trust your own eyes too much. Just create some illusions to deceive you. Compared to me, those gods and demons are definitely more proficient in this method. As bird monsters, our sensing ability is very sharp. Yes, the sensing ability allows you to defend against attacks from all directions while focusing on dealing with the enemy in front of you." The Eagle Owl retracted the sword at once, then quickly swung it in front of Ling Yu, and he transformed into a deep He picked up the colored cloth and tied it around Ling Yu's eyes, and continued, "Now just rely on your sense of perception to judge which direction I will attack from. If you make a mistake in judgment, you will be punished."
Lingyu, whose eyes were blocked, suddenly entered a world of complete darkness. Being unable to see his surroundings made him uncontrollably nervous. But he understood that there was no wind in the cave where he and the eagle owl were, and the isolated environment was very quiet, so it was more suitable than any other place for this kind of exercise to increase sensitivity.
"Induction will become a weapon for you to protect yourself. If you want to win the final victory, you must minimize the chance of injury. For powerful enemies like the Gods and Demons, even a small injury from them may be fatal. of."
The Eagle Owl's voice came from all directions, and it was impossible to tell which side he was on, so Lingyu had no choice but to hold his breath. Suddenly he felt a gust of wind coming quickly from his left, so he quickly threw the jade owl brocade on his left to meet it. But the gust of wind quickly changed its direction and hit him behind with a burst of heat. He did not turn around to defend, but easily lowered his waist and threw Jade Owl Jinlai with his right hand.
"Not bad!" Eagle Owl praised, and then he changed directions and attacked him countless times at a faster speed.
Something that amazed him happened immediately. Lingyu didn't make a single mistake. Even though there were a few times when he almost couldn't throw the jade owl brocade in time, but in this situation where he only relied on induction, his defensive ability was perfect. .
Hearing the Eagle Owl's praise, Lingyu asked happily: "How is it? Are you qualified?"
Eagle Owl loosened the piece of cloth tied around Lingyu's eyes and said, "Passed. It seems that you were just not used to using your own induction power before!"
"Then what kind of training are we going to do next?" Ling Yu asked happily.
"You are really impatient. The previous training of tying your eyes only proved that you are talented in sensing. Now you have to try to effectively use your sensing while being able to see the enemy." Eagle Owl responded to him. explain.
This time when he tried to attack Lingyu again, he could clearly feel that his ability to use induction defense had been greatly improved under his guidance. He suddenly remembered that unknowingly, half a day had passed since the young man entered the cave. When he first saw him, looking at his slender figure and face that was more charming than a girl, the eagle owl was stunned. He doubted whether he could withstand the torture of forging weapons, but now it seemed that the young man's willpower was much stronger than he thought.
Probably he was too eager to save his friend, which was enough to support his body to undergo such extensive training after going through the painful process of reshaping the weapon. The person he wanted to save must be very important to him. of.
There was once such a person who appeared in front of him, but unfortunately, he disappeared without a trace like a passing cloud. The reason why he had such a strong desire to help the young man in front of him, even at the expense of his own magic power and even his tail feathers, was probably because he wanted him to accomplish what he could not accomplish back then.
A somewhat terrifying thought suddenly poured into Eagle Owl's mind. Although this young man was extremely talented, it was still unrealistic to become enough to compete with the generation of gods and demons within the deadline he mentioned earlier. If he used himself If the power transforms him into a demon, perhaps these problems can be solved. However, this would destroy the young man. Even if he rescued his friend, he would have to spend his future suppressing his own demonic nature.
He didn't know whether it was right or wrong to do this. He felt confused for a moment, so he said to Ling Yu: "Let's take a short rest!"
Lingyu, who was good at observing words and expressions, saw that the eagle owl was different from before, and seemed to have something on his mind, but he didn't know that it was appropriate to ask him directly, so he had to silently put away the jade owl brocade, and after it fell to the ground, he stood on the stone. Rest on the lower left side of the chair.
The Eagle Owl also came to the ground, lit a fire on the stove to boil water, and made a pot of hot tea. He took out the only two cups he had, placed one in front of Ling Yu and filled it up. Then he sat on the stone chair opposite him and drank tea. The atmosphere between the two suddenly became a little awkward. .
After a while, Lingyu decided to break the silence, so he asked: "Teacher Eagle Owl, do you have anything to say to me?"
"With our current progress, it may be quite difficult to obtain enough ability to compete with the generation of gods and demons within the time limit you mentioned..." Eagle Owl hesitated to speak.
"Are you saying that it's impossible for me to save my friends on my own?"
"That's not true, I just don't know if you are willing to make such a big sacrifice for your friends."
"Teacher, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
"Just like how the red wolf demon Scarlet Shirt transformed me, if I help you become a demon, you will immediately have twice the power you have now, but I'm afraid I will harm you if I do this."
Lingyu suddenly lowered his head and stopped talking. Eagle Owl knew that he was also deep in thought. After all, making such a decision requires Yao to go through a fierce ideological struggle. In fact, the first thing Lingyu thought about was the story about the Dove Demon that Changqin told in Youlan Cave. Will he become like him and eventually be controlled by the demon and become its slave
"Let's forget it. I thought about it carefully. It's too risky to do so." Eagle Owl felt that his proposal was very inappropriate, so he added.
"Teacher Eagle Owl, after the transformation, will I really have twice the power now?" Lingyu didn't listen to what Eagle Owl said at all, and was still thinking about the doubts in his heart before. At this moment, his strong desire to gain power is no less than that of the Eagle Owl back then.
"I'm sorry, little brother, I was just obsessed for a moment, just pretend I didn't say what I just said!" Eagle Owl always has a feeling that the power gained through this method will definitely bring bad luck to this young man. Yes, he doesn't want his tragedy to happen again to him.
"Teacher Eagle Owl, I know what you are worried about! However, I really have no time. As long as I can save my companion, it is not a big deal even if it takes my life. Not to mention, my other companion I learned how to control my own demonic nature through music from the former music god Changqin and Qinmo Liuli, and I think it will definitely be helpful to me. So, please, please make me stronger!"
"Since you insist again and again, okay!" Eagle Owl saw that he could not persuade Lingyu no matter what, so he had no choice but to agree to his request.
"Thank you, Teacher Eagle Owl!" Ling Yu was a little curious about how Eagle Owl would transform himself. Could it be that just drinking his blood would complete the transformation process
"The conversion process may be much more painful than you imagine, even more painful than when you reshaped the weapon just now." Eagle Owl's words denied his guess.
"It doesn't matter, I can handle it!"
Although Ling Yu had made sufficient mental preparations, the entire transformation process still seemed like a nightmare. In fact, after the transformation was completed, the memory almost completely disappeared from his mind because it was too painful.
