Before the rainstorm, the sky was filled with silence.
Whether it was Sky Academy, Deep Sea Academy, or Zhongzhou, they suddenly became calm.
The friction between the six major groups seems to have completely subsided, and everything has become calm.
Li Tianlan's special devil training started in a calm atmosphere, without any buffering or gradual progress. Thunder God was responsible for improving his marksmanship, and Jie was responsible for improving his combat power. From the very beginning, the almost crazy training intensity had already made Li Tianlan's body tense. limit.
Fifteen hours of training every day, five hours of thinking, and two hours of driving. During the rest of the time, Li Tianlan's entire task was to follow Jie to practice the nine-character mantra.
One hour daily meal time.
Three hours of meditation.
Two hours of rest.
The remaining three hours are actual combat.
There are no rules in actual combat. It may be against the calamity whose strength is suppressed in the air control realm, or it may be against the thunder god whose strength is suppressed in the ice-condensing realm, or when the three of them fight together.
Twenty-four hours a day, Li Tianlan has almost no idle time.
Practice spears, practice the Nine-Character Mantra, meditate, fight, and still fight.
Zhuang Huayang personally designated a remote training ground for the three of them. A few single beds were randomly placed in the warehouse of the training ground as a resting place. Most of the time, Li Tianlan kept repeating boring but fulfilling training. .
When the first week passed, Li Tianlan, who was proficient in various firearms, was able to hit the target with every shot.
At the same time drive the vehicle to its maximum speed.
The realm at the peak of the Qi Control Realm is becoming more and more stable.
the second week.
Li Tianlan can already drive around the obstacles specially set up by Thor at the fastest speed and reach the finish line within the specified time.
At the same time, he started getting into sniper rifles.
In the third week, vehicle training was removed, and the daily rest time was changed from two hours to one hour. The extra two hours were all added to actual combat training.
Li Tianlan officially came into contact with Sky Strike in the fourth week.
The two shots from Tianzhao used ordinary bullets, but Li Tianlan still succeeded in shattering the moving target two thousand meters away.
During the actual combat training that day, Li Tianlan was knocked unconscious by Jie, who was also in the Qi Control realm, and was then splashed with cold water to wake him up and continue training.
Li Tianlan finally realized the horror of the Dongcheng family's treasured Sky Strike. He originally thought that the Sky Strike was just like other sniper rifles, but when he actually fired it, he realized that this type of weapon could kill Thunder Realm masters with one shot. A heavy sniper, if he didn't possess the twin veins of wind and thunder, he wouldn't even be able to pull the trigger in the air control realm.
The internal design of Sky Strike is exquisite and complex. It is different from the design ideas of any firearm. It can be said that it has reached the true extreme in pursuing lethality and destructive power. Especially the design of the internal firing pin is not made of high temperature resistance and super hardness. Instead of tungsten steel, it uses a special substance that the Dongcheng family only discovered in recent years. This is also one of the keys to the great strength required to pull the sky strike and to increase the power of the firearm to such an extent.
With Li Tianlan's current physical strength, firing five shots in a row is enough to drain him of all his physical strength. If he were not a person with thunder veins, he would not be able to pull the trigger even if he had a Sky Strike in his hand under the Burning Fire Realm.
So starting from the fourth week, Li Tianlan always fought in a weak state during actual battles with Jie or Thor.
He became more and more silent, but his attacks became more and more fierce.
Jie suppressed his strength in the air control realm and was able to suppress Li Tianlan, but the pressure he felt was getting bigger and bigger.
However, Lei Shen, who was originally the pinnacle master of the Thunder Realm, became a little frightened during actual combat. Starting from the fourth week, he no longer suppressed his strength in the Ice Condensation Realm, but upgraded to the Burning Fire Realm.
Li Tianlan didn't express any opinions, he just attacked wildly, blindly.
His attacks became more and more crazier, and every move he made was full of murderous intent and sword intent.
After a week of crazy special training that was almost sleepless, Li Tianlan was transforming almost every day, becoming more and more sharp. Now he looks like a Jie in his youth, but every move he makes is more than a Jie. A hint of something more grand.
The sword intent hidden deep in his heart is being developed bit by bit, just like a famous sword that has been dusted for a long time but still has a world-shaking edge. It is being unsheathed bit by bit and is about to shine in the world.
Non-stop actual combat, non-stop fighting.
Li Tianlan seemed to have a vague tendency to break through the peak of the Qi Control Realm and reach perfection. His strength was getting stronger and stronger. In the continuous training day after day, his potential was being squeezed without restraint. In just a short period of time, Within a month, his whole body's energy and spirit had completely soared, and every move he made had an unparalleled aura.
The fourth week is more than halfway over.
When Thor finally realized that the strength in the stable stage of the Burning Fire Realm was no longer enough to suppress Li Tianlan, he did not hesitate and directly raised his strength to the peak of the Burning Fire Realm.
Li Tianlan was knocked unconscious again.
"Is it still okay?"
Zed, who looked colder than anyone else, finally spoke, with a hint of unnoticeable worry in his low and hoarse tone.
He could be indifferent to anyone, but there were only two people in the whole world that Jie cared about the most, one was his sister Situ Cangyue, and the other was Li Tianlan.
After a month of continuous special training, how could he not see Li Tianlan's current state with his eyes
Whether mentally or physically, Li Tianlan has completely reached the limit now. If he continues, he may further expand the world, but it may also damage his foundation. Before this crucial step, even Jie hesitated.
During this month, Li Tianlan's spirit was in a state of tension almost all the time, and his body was constantly trained under high pressure. Almost every day, his physical strength was completely exhausted, and then he spent several hours meditating. And sleep recovery, no matter whether you can fully recover or not, you will continue training the next day.
In a month, Jie never heard a word of complaint from Li Tianlan, nor saw him show any signs of frustration or retreat. His face and eyes were always calm, and the determination and ruthlessness behind that calmness, Even Jie was a little moved.
In life, being cruel to others is nothing, being cruel to yourself is the real cruelty.
The only feeling Li Tianlan gave Jie now was that he was desperate.
He can ignore his body and even his soul. As long as he can become stronger, he is willing to bear any price!
"He must do it!"
On the empty training ground, Lei Shen looked at Li Tianlan who was unconscious in front of him, his eyes were soft, but his tone was calm and firm: "This is nothing to him. He was able to sustain himself in such a desperate environment. Now It’s just a bit bitter and a bit tiring, but compared to before, these are nothing worth mentioning.”
"once?"
Zed's body moved, and the eyes behind the silver mask fell on Thor, a little confused.
Thor hesitated slightly.
In his sight, Li Tianlan, who was unconscious on the ground, had his eyes closed, his expression relaxed and peaceful.
Thor hesitated for a moment, then finally turned around and came to Zed.
"Have you ever experienced true despair?"
Thor handed Zed a cigarette and asked seriously.
Jie's pupils shrank slightly. This sentence was ordinary, but in Jie's ears, there was a chilling feeling.
Zed took the cigarette but did not light it and continued to remain silent.
"Tianlan has experienced it."
The God of Thunder pointed at Li Tianlan and said softly: "This boy once entered the Thunder Realm and chose to re-cultivate. Do you know this?"
Jie nodded, hummed, and said thoughtfully: "Desert."
"It's the desert."
Thor nodded, took a deep breath from his cigarette, smiled and said, "If he could come out of the desert alive, then there would be nothing he couldn't bear."
Jie didn't know why. He was silent for a while and then said softly: "When you talk about despair, do you mean rebuilding?"
"no."
Thor took a deep breath, remained silent for a long time, and then said softly: "It's true despair."
"Not many people know about this. I am a witness. I was the one who went to the border to take him to the desert and watched him get the King's Heart hidden deep in the desert."
Zed continued to remain silent, waiting for Thor to continue.
"That prison in the desert is known as one of the most complex mazes in the dark world. You should know that, right?"
Thor suddenly asked.
Zed nodded without saying a word.
"Actually, underground in that prison, there is a passage with the same internal structure as a maze on the ground. Every intersection is exactly the same."
Thor said calmly: "It's just that the space in the underground labyrinth is a little smaller."
Zed's eyes suddenly focused, and he turned around and asked: "How young?!"
"It's very small."
The God of Thunder said calmly: "The space above, below, left and right is less than half a meter, and the interior is hot and humid. If a person climbs in, he can only lie down on the ground. Not to mention standing up, even if he supports his arms a little, his back may be squeezed against it. In this way space, can you imagine?”
Zed's breathing became faster for no reason.
"That underground passage is the heart of the king in the desert."
Thor's tone became calmer: "What you can't imagine, and I can't imagine, is that in that passage where you can only crawl in one position, you can only move forward, not backward, and you can't even change your position. There is no such thing in the passage. There is no sound, no light, no space, and no food or water. You can't see anything, you can only hear your own breathing and heartbeat. The whole world seems to be squeezing you in the dark. What can you do? , you can only crawl forward, and you must remain extremely calm, because the passage is a maze. If you take a wrong step, you may get completely lost in a dark environment, and getting lost means death."
"In such an environment, not to mention ordinary people, even if we go in, how long can we persist? Absolute depression, absolute darkness, that is true despair. I don't know about you, but I think if I go in, I guess I will If you can't hold on for even half a day, you will go completely crazy. Darkness and depression are not terrible, but your own inner demons are the most terrible thing."
"And Tianlan has experienced all of what I'm talking about. In that passage where he could only maintain one posture, in that passage where there was only darkness and depression, he entered from the entrance and came out from the exit for three whole days. , not dead, not crazy. After experiencing true despair, Tianlan can be said to have killed all the inner demons. This kind of absolute concentration and concentration of will, not to mention the Thunder Realm, is the Invincible Realm master. How many people can achieve?"
"This is Tianlan's Heavenly King's Heart. It may not have other functions like the real Heavenly King's Heart, but in terms of will, it is even better. I dare not say anything else, but I am sure that Tianlan's will It is absolutely indestructible."
A drop of sweat flowed down Jie's temples, and Jie stood motionless.
Thor's words may not sound like much, but if you really put yourself in that environment, that kind of desperate atmosphere is enough to make anyone completely crazy.
Lei Shen finished smoking a cigarette and said softly: "So although the current special training is very hard, it is nothing to Tianlan. After coming out of the desert alive, there is nothing in his life that he cannot bear. .”
