The King of Black Fog

"The situation is turning grim," one said.

"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.

Eagles soar through the sky, fish dart in the shallow waters,...

Chapter Forty-Five Omens

The ox horn spiral force is not only penetrating but also spiraling, but it only took half a day to achieve a bit of penetrating power, which made Li Changzhou very happy.

He was happy as he was, but he hadn't even felt the penetrating power he had yet. He was still a seed in the soil, not yet a sprout, and he had to keep practicing.

He rallied his spirits and practiced even more diligently.

Li Qianxia practiced basic gun techniques on the side, her pretty, fair face soon covered in sweat.

The next day, Sunday.

"Brother, let's go!" Li Qianxia walked into the courtyard, with Yang Qinglan behind her.

The two slept together last night, saying they were just looking out for each other, but it was mainly because the young girl liked to have fun.

In the morning, we went out for wontons again. They were small, bite-sized wontons, eaten with a spoon.

A spoon, a wonton, a little dried shrimp, and some soup—it's so fresh and delicious!

Li Qianxia, ​​swinging her ponytail, saw Li Changzhou doing a handstand in the courtyard.

She turned to Yang Qinglan and said, "Did he know we were coming and just wanted to show off?"

This time, Yang Qinglan didn't join in the commotion. She put her slender finger to her lips, making a shushing gesture.

Li Qianxia looked at her in confusion, while Yang Qinglan pointed to Li Changzhou, who was standing upside down.

Li Qianxia turned her gaze and took a closer look. She noticed that her brother seemed different; he didn't seem to be showing off. However, with her two points of perception, she couldn't figure out what was going on.

Li Changzhou stood upside down on one finger of his left hand, his arm straight, his whole body standing there like a spear.

This morning, in preparation for the daytime operation, he did only simple training, and then warmed up while waiting for the two female college students to arrive.

The warm-up exercise is a handstand. With your hands spread out and your fingers pressed against the ground, slowly lift your feet off the ground and straighten them out, making it look effortless.

Once you're upright, fold your right hand back and use the five fingers of your less comfortable left hand to support your entire body.

All the weight of my body was pressing down on my five fingers, making them taut and giving me a very comfortable feeling of stimulation.

While remaining upside down, Li Changzhou began to ponder the horn spiral force again. He had been working on the horn spiral force for some time, and at this moment, he suddenly had a new understanding and perspective on his current stance.

The so-called 'bull horns' seem somewhat similar to being upside down? Is it a concentration of all the body's strength and gravity on one point?

wrong.

Li Changzhou tucked in his thumb, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger, using his middle finger to support his body—this was how to concentrate everything on one point.

He closed his eyes and imagined himself as a bull's horn, about to pierce the ground and penetrate the earth.

On the battlefield, entering a state of "focus" requires luck, but during practice, you can try repeatedly.

Then, he entered a state of "focus".

With an intelligence level of 8, wholeheartedly feel and remember the sensations of this very moment.

Yang Qinglan noticed his current state, which is why she made Li Qianxia keep quiet.

Inside the courtyard, the only sounds were the occasional rustling of apricot leaves in the breeze.

With his left arm slightly bent, Li Changzhou slowly lowered his body until his nose almost touched the ground.

He felt as if all his strength was turning into water, with the fascia as the channel, flowing all the way to his fingertips, as if he were really going to burrow into the ground.

(The lake there is always clear, and the air there is filled with tranquility.)

Li Qianxia hurriedly reached for her phone.

Li Changzhou had already opened his eyes at this time. Depending on the timing of entering "concentration", the external influences were also different.

If one enters a state of "focus" on the battlefield, the sounds of charging, gunfire, and screams will only make him more focused; if these sounds disappear, he will lose focus.

At this moment, the "focus" must not be disturbed by any movement other than the leaves; any disturbance will break the concentration.

"Brother," Li Qianxia smiled somewhat ingratiatingly, "Zheng Qing came to urge you, did I bother you?"

Li Changzhou didn't speak, clinging tightly to the tail of the feeling he had just experienced.

He put away the fallen stake, came to the sand shield target, and with a burst of speed, stabbed out with a finger.

In that instant, he was like a bowstring, suddenly taut, concentrating all his strength in his fingers, shooting them out like an arrow.

The extremely penetrating force pierced through the sand shield target like a bullet, and with a "poof" sound, it exploded in the back, leaving a hole about the thickness of two fingers.

"One-Finger Divine Skill!" Li Qianxia shouted, her eyes wide.

"Wrong, it's the Six Meridians Divine Sword." Li Changzhou withdrew his finger.

Turning his head, he saw Li Qianxia's burning gaze and smiled, "Want to learn? I'll teach you."

Li Qianxia once again showed a disgusted and contemptuous expression, as if to say, "Can you please stop farting while you're eating?"

“You want to teach me? Beg me,” she said.

"Please, let me teach you."

Li Qianxia sighed reluctantly, "This is the last time."

"You two, it's time to go," Yang Qinglan said from the side.

Li Changzhou quickly changed his clothes and placed an order online to remake the sand shield target.

He also had two shield targets, one filled with gravel and the other with steel filings and iron shot, but it wasn't time to use them yet; he bought them only to plan for the future.

The three of them took a taxi to Minghu.

Along the way, Li Qianxia became the most clingy little sister to her brother, hugging Li Changzhou's arm and calling out "Brother~ Brother~" in a sweet voice, asking about the sword manual of the "Six Meridians Divine Sword".

The way she spoke in that sickeningly sweet tone... If she weren't Li Changzhou's own sister, he would have punched her long ago and made her lie on the ground sobbing.

"Has your game combo improved?" With a driver in the car, Yang Qinglan used "game combo" to refer to "Mighty Bull Fist".

"Mm." Li Changzhou nodded.

"You're quite clever," Yang Qinglan smiled.

"Yes, a martial arts prodigy, one in a million," Li Changzhou exclaimed, as if he were talking about someone else.

"The world is yours now." Yang Qinglan was even more impressive, speaking with the air of someone who had relinquished the throne of the world's number one.

"Brother~~ Brother~~!" Li Qianxia was still shaking Li Changzhou's arm.

“Wait a minute,” Li Changzhou said helplessly, “I’ll teach you after I’ve learned it myself. I’m only a half-baked player right now, it works sometimes and it doesn’t work at all, so I can’t use it in the game. How can I teach you?”

"Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't? It really is the Six Meridians Divine Sword!" Li Qianxia was even more excited.

The driver glanced at the three people in the rearview mirror and thought that young people nowadays were hopeless, so obsessed with games that it was no wonder the country restricted their gaming time.

After getting off the bus at Minghu, cross a wide intersection to reach Mingcheng Science and Technology Plaza.

This office building uses the selling point that "when you're tired from working, you can stand up and overlook Minghu Lake," which has significantly increased its rent.

The surrounding environment was indeed nice, but the three of them weren't here for leisure.

Mingcheng Science and Technology Plaza consists of two buildings, Building A and Building B, which are connected by a sealed glass skybridge. In addition to facilitating passage, it is also an excellent spot to enjoy the view of Minghu Lake.

According to Zheng Qing's intelligence, all of the more than 1,000 people in the office building were gathered in Building A.

The surrounding traffic lights were all red, and the entire area was under lockdown.

The three men showed their credentials and walked into the martial law area. Midway through, Li Changzhou looked up and saw that the sky was overcast; it was about to rain in Ming City, which had been hot for half a month.
