,.
Cracking, clacking, Lou Cheng only used his left hand, alternately using inch strength and snapping fingers, constantly shooting out flames, consuming the heat in his body.
After a full five minutes, he finally felt the heat flow of the flame merged into the subtle parts of his body exhausted, and the golden core in his lower abdomen began to expand and contract, slowly turning, and differentiated into a trace of strength.
This force balances ice and fire, and quickly healed Lou Cheng's fatigue, but it didn't help replenish the heat of the flames.
Knowing that it was a critical moment, Lou Cheng endured the involuntary twitching and strange collapse of his body, continued to activate his supernatural powers, shook his left arm again, punched forward, and punched hard,
Snapped!
In the vigorous and rapid voice, his mind suddenly buzzed, and he fell into a strange state of inner vision, reflecting the golden core like a miniature starry sky.
After brushing it, Lou Cheng saw a "star" fly out of the surface of the "starry sky", and a "flame" shook out, and then he felt his palm was slightly hot, his eyes were full of flames, and the surface of the lake turned a layer of crimson.
Crimson struggled a few times, and finally slowly extinguished.
Different from the time he faced Ye Youting, now he uses supernatural powers to release the power of the golden core without reservation, instead of imagining the way of attacking the enemy with punches, which is relatively exaggerated.
As soon as the tumbling flames dissipated, the lake was calm again, except that some floating dead branches and leaves were missing. In Lou Cheng's body, Jin Dan shrank suddenly, and flung out an ice crystal again to achieve balance.
The ice crystals rapidly swelled into cold currents, ravaging the blood vessels and meridians, and by the way, covering every corner of Lou Cheng's body.
At this moment, Lou Cheng felt that he was completely frozen, turned into an ice sculpture, and his heart slowed down.
Damn, backlash is still so scary... He thought dully.
After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly heard the beating of his heart, they were like the thunder that bid farewell to the ice and awakened the spring stings, allowing him to slowly recover from the rigidity of his thinking.
Immediately afterwards, Lou Cheng felt his heart beating powerfully, continuously gushing out blood containing vigorous vitality, and allowing them to swim throughout the body, dispelling the cold, while the marrow inside the bones was fully cooperating with this process.
In less than a few tens of seconds, Lou Cheng was completely freed from the frozen state, and felt the benefits of a stronger physical body, and he also clearly noticed that with this resistance and fusion "Frost", his physical fitness was faintly reduced. Got a certain improvement.
Thinking about it, there was such a change when he first awakened the flame power, but he fell into a high fever and was weak, so he ignored it.
It's no wonder that in the past month, the extent of physical strength has exceeded my expectations!
Well, this is also very normal. My body can adapt to the scorching "fire flow", so it is unreasonable not to improve!
As soon as Lou Cheng thought about it, he felt that his body was still weak, and the coldness was seeping out of his bones continuously, making him shiver continuously, and he just wanted to wrap himself in a thick quilt layer by layer. [oM]
Compared with the feeling of dying last time, this time only reminded him of the experience of being sick when he was a child.
Turning around and taking out the prepared down jacket, Lou Cheng began to examine himself, to see if he had awakened the frost ability, if there was any frost and flame offset, and returned overnight to the tragedy before liberation.
During the examination, he suddenly gasped, surprised and delighted.
Cold currents and heat currents intermingle with each other, forming a delicate balance, incorporating its own nuances.
Taking a breath, Lou Cheng shook out his left arm violently, and exerted another inch of strength. At the same time, he drove the frosty cold current.
Snapped!
There was neither thin ice nor snowflakes on the face of his fist.
Lou Cheng was not disappointed, but fell into deep thought. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly slapped the nearest boulder with his palm.
Snapped! His palm was pressed against the boulder, and then slowly lifted up, revealing a piece of cold hoarfrost, which outlined the shape of his left hand!
Seeing the rapid melting of the frost, Lou Cheng nodded thoughtfully, probably figured out how to use the frost ability.
Its current strength is not enough to support the external release, but it can be integrated into its own strength, so that every punch and kick can bring coldness without the need for additional "ignition" actions.
Different abilities, different characteristics.
This kind of icy cold itself will not be of much practical use for the time being, but Lou Cheng believes that after it is combined with the similar strength of the ice department, it will have surprising effects.
Huh, when the arm recovers next week, I will report to Master about the awakening of the frost ability. Hehe, let's see how he reacts and what plan he has... Lou Cheng tightened his down jacket, put on the bag, shivering, and walked towards the cafeteria .
He urgently needs a cup of hot milk.
As for the second wave of awakening, Lou Cheng has not dared to try it yet, because it only involves the surface of the golden core, and if it gets out of control again, it will probably involve the inside. This kind of limit, the level of martial arts has also stepped into the realm of alchemy, and then make a trade-off.
In the cafeteria, Lou Cheng carried hot porridge buns, eggs and milk, and walked to the table where he and Yan Zheke usually ate together.
Backed by support columns, it creates a relatively quiet environment with few people.
He put down the plate, picked up the milk and took a sip, feeling the warmth flowing down his throat, soothing his stomach and reducing the coldness of his body.
"It's comfortable..." Lou Cheng sighed in satisfaction, and took another sip of the hot porridge.
At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Yan Zheke walking over with a plate. There were soy milk fritters and white flour steamed buns on it. The girl's pretty figure looking around was like a scene in the cafeteria.
"Hey, Chengzi, you finished so early today?" Seeing her boyfriend at this point, Yan Zheke was quite surprised, and then realized that Lou Cheng's state was not right, and hurriedly asked with concern and urgency, "Ill? "
"No." Lou Cheng's shivering has eased a lot, he chuckled, "I'll tell you a secret."
He felt very warm about the tacit understanding that he and Yan Zheke chose this table at the same time.
Being able to meet in a few cafeterias and among the endless stream of students just like this is not only due to fate!
Yan Zheke put down the dinner plate, sat next to Lou Cheng, and looked at him suspiciously: "What's the secret? You look very bad, shall I go to the doctor with you?"
Lou Cheng leaned close to her ear, and said in a low voice, "I wanted to temper my abilities this morning, so I went to the lake to try it out, and when I was about to reach the limit, I suddenly awakened the ability of frost, and my face was pale. Because of backlash, but it’s much lighter than last time, so it’s not a big deal.”
He saw that under the intrusion of his breathing, the girl's ears gradually turned red, crystal clear and lovely.
"You've awakened your supernatural ability again?" Yan Zheke's pink lips were parted, her white teeth were slightly exposed, her black and white eyes were full of surprise and bewilderment, and she looked cute.
"I don't know why... Maybe it's the way to balance ice and fire, there will probably be no awakening in the future..." Lou Cheng explained a few words.
To be honest, every time he lied to a girl, he felt a little guilty, but Jin Dan's matter involved his own life, and telling her would only put pressure on her and make her uneasy.
I hope to digest the golden core as soon as possible, and let the power truly belong to me as soon as possible, so that I will not feel guilty.
Yan Zheke had seen too many "miracles" in her boyfriend, so she quickly recovered, and blurted out: "What kind of abilities are you free to practice? Even if you want to practice, you have to do so in front of Coach Shi. If the backlash is too severe, It's not like no one will help! If something happens to you, I, I... "
As she spoke, her eye sockets suddenly turned red, and there seemed to be waves floating on the surface of her pupils.
Lou Cheng bit his lower lip lightly, stretched out his hand, and took hold of the girl's catkin: "I won't do it next time, I will definitely take good care of myself! Be more thoughtful!"
At this moment, he felt the responsibility, his life no longer only belonged to himself and his relatives...
Yan Zheke took a breath, and suddenly shook off his hand, humming, "You want to freeze me to death? Your hands are so cold!"
"It's the remnant of the frost ability, which can help you relieve the heat in summer." Lou Cheng said with a flattering smile.
Yan Zheke calmed down, her eyebrows moved slightly, and she asked curiously, "Is there no need to 'ignite'?"
"I don't need the frost ability, I think it will be cold wherever it is cold." Lou Cheng said ostentatiously.
Yan Zheke pushed over the freshly baked hot soybean milk, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Then you can cool it down, it's too hot, I can't even drink it!"
"Okay~" Lou Cheng held the soy milk cup with his left hand, and started a weak cold current.
There seemed to be changes in his body, "Frost" was constantly being produced, maintaining a delicate balance with "Flame".
After a while, Lou Cheng heaved a sigh of relief, and took his hand away, only to see that there was a layer of frost on the surface of the soy milk cup, but it was fleeting.
"The temperature should be fine..." He touched the cup and handed it to Yan Zheke, waiting for her evaluation.
Yan Zheke took a sip, nodded with a smile on her face, and said, "It's just right, your ability is quite useful~!"
Lou Cheng didn't expect his own ability to be used in this first, but the sense of accomplishment is not bad at all, at least it coaxed the girl to turn her anger into joy!
"As long as you like it." He said with a smile, "By the way, have you watched the video material that Coach Shi sent yesterday?"
Profiles of opponents in the weekend tryouts.
"It's over, what about you?" When mentioning this, Yan Zheke immediately became excited. She was the number one substitute and had a chance to play.
Lou Cheng's shivering has ended, but his body is still a little weak. He smiled slightly and said, "Of course I finished reading it, and I also found out about other things."
Although he couldn't play, but because of Yan Zheke's concern, he worked harder than playing by himself!
"What's the matter?" Yan Zheke asked curiously.
Lou Cheng laughed and said, "Don't look at the 'Dream Team' as an amateur team, but their players are all from the second generation of martial arts, especially the main players of the first rank of amateurs. All of them have elders of high-grade alchemy in their families. They are Matsushiro Martial Arts Those at the top of the circle."
Yan Zheke didn't have any fearful reaction to the warriors in the high-grade alchemy realm, and said with great interest, "And then?"
She took a sip of soy milk, took a bite of fried dough sticks, and looked at Lou Cheng like a child listening to a story.
"You may not believe it. They formed the dream team to participate in the trials because they were jealous. Both Jiang Dingyi and Feng Shaokun liked Qian Ruoyu, who grew up with their childhood sweethearts. They almost turned their faces. Qian Ruoyu's attitude was very ambiguous, and he never expressed his opinion. In the end, they pulled them together to gather their friends and form a team, saying that it was to see who would perform better in this selection competition." Lou Cheng said eloquently.
Yan Zheke almost spat out soy milk, covered her mouth with her hand before saying, "Is there anyone who picks a boyfriend like that? I feel like I'm still a little girl..."
"A full half year older than you, you are the little girl." Lou Cheng laughed.
"Hmph, it depends on your mental age!" Yan Zheke wrinkled her nose and asked in confusion, "How do you know this?"
"There is a local in our dormitory, who is well-informed. I asked him specifically." Lou Cheng told the truth.
For "Coach Yan", he has done enough homework.
Yan Zheke's eyes were bent, dimples appeared, she turned her head to the side and said, "You haven't forgotten my coach!"
Lou Cheng ate the buns, drank the milk, and continued: "Qian Ruoyu's family's martial arts originated from Taiji, which is more similar to your grandfather's. Jiang Dingyi's grandfather was famous for his sword skills, but because In the group arena, he can't use weapons until he reaches the high-grade alchemy state, so he created his own martial arts, using sword techniques in his palms. Feng Shaokun is good at the double-shaped tiger and crane and modern cannon boxing... "
"I watched the video and thought I could imitate one or two. During this period of time, I told Coach Shi that I will give you half an hour of training at the end of the special training every day, so that you can adapt to their style of play."
Yan Zheke puffed her cheeks, looked to the side with a blushing face and said:
"OK… "
She no longer objected to the sparring during the daily special training.
The two were talking, eating breakfast, and gradually approached the end. Suddenly, Yan Zheke looked at the big clock in the cafeteria, and exclaimed:
"It's almost eight o'clock, I'm going to be late!"
"That's right..." Lou Cheng followed and saw that it was already seven fifty-four.
Yan Zheke became angry from embarrassment, and gently pinched him:
"It's all your fault, I'm not usually late!"
Lou Cheng chuckled, feeling sweet, took her hand and said, "Hurry up, there's still time!"
The two left in a hurry and ran towards the martial arts gymnasium. They finally arrived when they were tens of seconds away.
Panting for breath, Yan Zheke glanced at Lou Cheng, just in time to meet his gaze, feeling warm and sweet.
Even if it's just doing small things like this together, I feel so happy.
...
In the next few days, Lou Cheng lived his life step by step, but he had more things to do as a training partner for Yan Zheke. As for the matter of Dragon and Tiger Daoist Cave, he never heard old man Shi mention it, but he didn't dare to inquire rashly.
In a blink of an eye, Saturday came, and the Martial Arts Club of Songcheng University will host the "Dream Team" at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Because it was just an actual combat training, and there was no professional-level main force this time, the publicity department of Songda University did not do any promotion for this competition, nor did it inform the teachers and students of the school. The audience can be expected to be very small.
Lou Cheng took a nap for a while, and was about to go outside Yan Zheke's dormitory, and went to the martial arts gym with her, when he suddenly received a call from old man Shi.
"Stinky boy, I have something to do as a teacher, so I can't come this afternoon." Old man Shi said casually, "Today you will be the coach."
"Ah, I'm a coach?" Lou Cheng was startled.
Old Man Shi chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter if you tie a dog as a coach for this kind of competition. What are you afraid of? Well, I'll die. You can arrange the order of appearance according to your own discretion."
Master, don't be so irresponsible! Just as Lou Cheng was about to speak, he heard a beeping sound.
I'll go, I'm a wounded person, how can I become a coach? He was at a loss for a while, and suddenly thought of something:
The master didn't come temporarily, could it be that his friend discovered the cave of Longhu Daoist and invited him to be a helper? (.),.
