Chapter 101: Undersea Water Dragon Song

After saying this, Yuwen Xing couldn't help but sigh again: "This person not only has a high talent for cultivation, which is rare in the world. His will and courage to cultivate are also rare in the world."

"Those seventeen puppets are very powerful, and ordinary cultivators would try to avoid them. But Zhang Haobo did the opposite and used them to test his sword."

“Tsk tsk tsk, if this person doesn’t die next, he will definitely have great prospects!”

Li Fan echoed, "Fellow Daoist Yuwen is absolutely right!"

After a long time, there was no news from the other side. It was obvious that Yu Wenxing had gone to spread the news to other people.

"The twenty-four Dinghai Swords that can only be condensed during the Foundation Establishment Period were condensed by Zhang Haobo not long after he entered the Qi Refining Stage."

"Is he particularly suitable for this technique? Or is there some other reason? Interesting..."

Li Fan suddenly became interested and immediately set off to Tianyang Cave to see what was going on.

Tianyang Cave is located in the western waters of Congyun Sea, inside a dormant underwater volcano.

Ever since the volcanic eruption, the Tianyang Cave appeared.

The underwater fire veins nearby are becoming more active.

On the way, Li Fan could occasionally see Qi-refining monks walking in groups of three or four.

They looked excited, and the topic of their conversation kept revolving around Zhang Haobo who was testing his sword.

From what he heard from their conversation, it seemed that Zhang Haobo could now hold out for about a cup of tea in the hands of those seventeen mechanical puppets.

Many people took advantage of the time when Zhang Haobo was attracting the puppets' firepower to sneak into the cave, trying to seek opportunities.

But a cup of tea was too short. Before they could discover anything, Zhang Haobo was exhausted and withdrew from the cave.

As a result, these people were taken as targets of venting anger by the increasingly angry puppets, and died tragically one after another.

However, there are reports that Zhang Haobo has made rapid progress through continuous sword testing.

Perhaps in the near future, I will be able to break through to the middle stage of Qi Refining.

By then, the strength will definitely have a leap, and the puppet will be restrained for a longer period of time.

Someone nearby will surely be able to take advantage of the situation and enter the cave to explore opportunities.

Zhang Haobo, on the other hand, didn't seem to care much about this behavior and didn't express any dissatisfaction.

It was just a boring repetition of resting, testing the sword, and resting again.

Therefore, more and more monks are having ulterior motives.

Of course, there are also people who are simply amazed by Zhang Haobo's feat of fighting seventeen puppets alone and come here to see him.

It didn't take long before Li Fan arrived at the sea area where Tianyang Cave was located.

Due to the active underground fire, the temperature of the sea water here is obviously much higher than other places.

There were many dead fish floating on the sea, which was the result of a cleanup.

Fortunately, Li Fan had made some preparations before he came. After activating the Shape-Hiding Talisman and the Fire-Bath Talisman together, he dived into the sea.

The further down you go, the higher the sea temperature becomes.

When we got close to the bottom of the sea, the water was almost boiling.

In an underwater crater, hot magma continuously gushes out accompanied by billowing white smoke.

When the magma meets the sea water, it cools down quickly, forming black rock that accumulates and spreads outward.

Many monks gathered around the crater.

They don't care about the boiling sea water, nor do they pay any attention to the strange sight of erupting underwater volcanoes.

All attention was focused on Zhang Haobo, who was meditating with his eyes closed not far away.

When Li Fan got closer, he could hear the low voices.

"Just now, in the first battle of the middle stage of Qi training, how come it seems that I can't last much longer than before?"

"What do you know? Didn't you see that the strength of his moves is about the same as in the early stages of Qi training? He is obviously still adapting to the power after the breakthrough."

"Yes, I think I can last two cups of tea this time!"

…

Amid the discussions of the crowd, Zhang Haobo opened his eyes and suddenly stood up.

With a calm face, he rushed into the crater.

The crowd who were watching the fun did not follow in.

Only a water curtain in the center lit up, revealing the scene inside the cave.

It seems that those seventeen puppets are not just dead objects.

After Zhang Haobo's repeated provocations, they had already anticipated that he would come again and had ambushed at the entrance of the cave in advance.

As soon as they entered, they launched an attack.

Zhang Haobo was not in a hurry. He put twenty-four azure water swords on his sides to block the puppet's attacks one by one.

He himself leaped forward, shuttling between the gaps between the puppets.

In the blink of an eye, they had broken through the blockade and came out of the puppet encirclement.

Then he flew up and hung in the air.

"Huh? What does he want to do?"

"Not just defense? Is he going to attack instead of defend?"

Amid the exclamations of the crowd, Zhang Haobo was seen staring at the puppet below with his eyes as fast as lightning, and he made a magic gesture with his hands.

In an instant, the speed of the twenty-four water swords suddenly increased several times.

Like a violent storm, it struck the mechanical puppet on the head.

The water swords danced like spirits, creating countless phantoms. At first glance, the field looked like hundreds of water swords, interweaving blue shadows.

The bodies of the mechanical puppets were extremely hard, and the water swords could not leave even a faint white mark on them. They could only pause their movements slightly.

But just as they recovered from this slight pause, the water sword attack came again.

Then their movements became rigid again.

The water sword's attack was like a rushing waterfall, without stopping for a moment, forcing these mechanical puppets to have no choice but to defend themselves.

Zhang Haobo, actually suppressed seventeen puppets with his own strength!

Outside the cave, all the cultivators who saw this scene were dumbfounded and filled with agitation.

"Is Zhang Haobo really in the middle stage of Qi Refining? What kind of skills does he practice? So powerful!"

"It is said that he has only been practicing Taoism for a little over a year? He is truly a genius!"

"Fellow Daoists, hurry up! I think these puppets have been beaten so badly that they can't even lift their heads. This is a great opportunity for us to explore the cave!"

Someone in the crowd suddenly spoke up to incite.

This sounded reasonable, so everyone started to get excited.

At this time, a rather stout man shook his head and said, "I don't think so. Fellow Daoist Zhang's move is indeed terrifying. It's a pity that it will consume a lot of vitality and it will be difficult to last. I'm afraid that this time it won't last as long as the last time."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and after thinking for a moment, they all nodded slowly.

Li Fan stared at Zhang Haobo on the water curtain with a frown on his face.

Li Fan was naturally aware of the move Zhang Haobo had just used. It was a killing move from the Dinghai Sword.

"Song of Water Dragon".

The sword dances like a dragon, moving freely and arbitrarily. It has a wide attack range, a fast sword attack frequency, and strong killing power.

It is indeed extremely powerful.

It just requires a huge amount of spiritual energy to support it, and can usually only be performed during the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Although Baili Chen was also in the middle stage of Qi Refining and practiced the complete version of "Dinghai Divine Sword", he was unable to use this move.

What puzzled Li Fan was that although it was true that Zhang Haobo’s talent far surpassed Baili Chen’s,

But after all, he is only in the middle stage of Qi Refining.

This form of Water Dragon Chant is destined not to last long.

But looking at Zhang Haobo now, he seems to be very confident, and doesn't seem to be worried at all about not having enough spiritual energy.

Why is this?
