Chapter 71: If you don’t reach the fourth level, you will always be a mortal
A light drizzle fell in the vast capital city. There was a hint of warmth in the breeze, and some new buds began to sprout on the trees on the roadside.
It seems that everything is telling of the arrival of spring.
In the house.
Zhou Zhilu sat cross-legged under a pear tree in the yard, with a faint spiritual energy wrapped around his body, sometimes red and sometimes turning into blue.
The third level of a warrior is quite complicated. It requires strengthening fifty extra-acupoints and twelve meridians, as well as opening up the Ren and Du meridians. All of this paves the way for the powerful fourth level.
Previously, in the snake's belly, with the help of Song Luo, he successfully strengthened fifty extra-meridian acupoints. Now, more than a month has passed, and Zhou Zhilu has also successfully completed the unblocking of twelve meridians.
The only thing left is to open up the Ren and Du meridians.
The Ren meridian starts from the Qugu point on the abdomen, extends upward to the Chengjiang point under the lips, and controls blood throughout the body.
The Du channel runs from the Qugu point backward along the back and upward to the top of the head, then passes between the eyes and ends at the Yinjiao point on the upper palate of the mouth, controlling the spiritual energy of the whole body.
When Zhou Zhilu gathered spiritual energy in his abdomen and wanted to push it upward from the Qugu point to open the Ren meridian, he found that the resistance was quite strong.
With the total amount of spiritual energy he currently possesses, he can only reach his chest before he loses strength.
Just when Zhou Zhilu was at a loss, footsteps suddenly sounded on the street outside the door, steady and powerful.
A young man wearing a conical hat, a long sword at his waist, and a white embroidered robe walked to the door.
Raindrops fell on the bamboo hat, but the flowing white robe was not wet at all.
The young man rested one hand on the hilt of the sword, and his upright posture gave off the air of a free-spirited swordsman in the misty rain.
Looking at Fusu, who was slumped in the recliner under the eaves, the young man asked calmly, "Are you Fusu, the Taoist monk?"
Fusu opened one eye, glanced at the other person, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "No, I'm not. A Taoist monk? I don't know him."
The young man was silent for a moment, then said, "I've seen your portrait."
Fusu was dissatisfied when he heard this, "Then why are you asking me? Isn't that a waste of time?"
The young man took a deep breath, suppressed his inner restlessness, and asked again, "Rumor has it that you were subjugated by the guy inside and became a gatekeeper. Is that true?"
Zhou Zhilu in the courtyard was stunned. Why did he get involved?
Fusu also immediately sat up straight and shouted, "What do you mean by reduced to a gatekeeper?! Who spread that rumor? If you have the guts, come to me and I will beat you to pieces!"
"I was just doing a favor for a friend, and then asking him to return the favor. What do you call that? That's a transaction, an exchange of favors. Friendships are built through the exchange of favors!"
"Subdue? Are we animals? Humans..."
"That's enough!" the young man shouted hurriedly, stopping Fusu from chattering.
Can't you just answer yes or no? What are you talking about? Is this guy really a Taoist monk?
The young man suppressed the urge to complain, looked at Fusu sharply and said, "That's good. I came here to see what methods the modern Taoists have. Would you like to have a fight?"
Fusu glanced up and down at the young man, then collapsed back onto the recliner and said lazily, "No comparison."
"Why?" the young man frowned.
"trouble."
"You chased away so many people before without any trouble, why do you find it troublesome to come to me?" the young man said unhappily.
"The previous person could be dealt with with just one palm... You can't do that. It will be troublesome if we fight."
“…”
The young man was slightly stunned after hearing Fusu's explanation, then he grinned: "Your words... make me want to compete even more!"
boom!
As the words fell, the young man's aura suddenly burst out, and the surrounding raindrops suddenly burst out with the young man as the center.
The rain shot towards Fusu and Zhou Zhilu, but was blocked by the spiritual energy around their bodies.
The majestic sword energy transformed into misty white smoke, emerging from the young man's body and rising upwards.
Gradually, it gathered above his head and formed a giant white sword.
Even Zhou Zhilu, who was in the courtyard, could feel the unstoppable sharpness of the sword.
The young man narrowed his eyes and stared at Fusu, with the sword energy above his head ready to be launched.
On the other hand, Fusu still had a lazy look on his face, slumped in the recliner.
But the feet that were originally curled up on the recliner fell to the ground.
As he stepped on the ground, Zhou Zhilu suddenly felt that the surrounding environment had changed, but when he looked again, he was still in the courtyard, as if nothing had changed.
"Is it... aura?" Zhou Zhilu asked doubtfully.
The young man who was hit first also frowned slightly. He wanted to stab out with his sword, but the Taoist was right in front of him, so why couldn't he lock onto him?
The strong contradiction between the close proximity seen by the naked eye and the absence of any trace in the spiritual sense made the young man very uncomfortable.
“…”
The young man sighed, and saw the sword energy above his head suddenly turned into smoke and dissipated in the air.
Although he could attack directly with sword energy with his naked eyes, he had already lost in the confrontation just now.
It would be very ungraceful to force the other person to fight.
"What was that just now?" asked the young man.
"Momentum."
Fusu explained, "We are surrounded by forces, including the situation, water, wind, luck, and so on. I just used other forces to cover up my own force, so you couldn't sense me clearly."
