Staring at the sixteen small figures on the white jade plate.
Yang Zheng seemed to be possessed, frantically imitating the little figure above, making all sorts of gestures.
Because he is now absolutely certain that the mysterious white jade tablet is inscribed with some kind of mysterious martial arts technique.
As for the purpose of this technique, whether it's an offensive skill or something else, it's currently unclear.
It takes repeated attempts and rehearsals to finally get a result.
The strange energy hidden within his body had already established a connection with this cultivation technique.
Especially when he made the movements of the first few patterns, the energy flow in his body reacted particularly strongly.
Before we knew it, it was already getting light outside.
Yang Zheng's eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was full of fatigue, as if he hadn't slept for days and nights.
Suddenly, he stopped what he was doing and fell into thought. After a moment, he looked up sharply, his eyes shining with excitement.
"I get it, I finally understand..."
After countless attempts and rehearsals throughout the night.
Yang Zheng gradually mastered the knack of this "gesture technique".
That is, accuracy + time!
As long as the first four hand gestures are performed accurately, the flow of energy within the body will immediately begin to respond.
Then, the remaining twelve gestures must be quick, accurate, and steady, without any pauses or mistakes.
Otherwise, all previous efforts will be wasted, and you'll have to start all over again from the very first gesture.
Based on his research over the course of the night, he vaguely figured out the clues on the white jade tablet.
The sixteen figures on the white jade tablet can be divided into four groups of hand gestures, which correspond exactly to the four rows of figures carved on it.
The first group of four gestures:
You can pause, and even adjust, but the interval cannot exceed one minute. The effect of this set of gestures seems to be to activate the strange energy flow within the body, making it more active.
The second group of four gestures:
You can move a little slower, but you can't stop, and there can be no mistakes. The four gestures must be completed within thirty seconds. The purpose of these gestures is to establish a kind of mental connection with the flow of energy within the body.
The third group of four gestures
It must be done quickly, and the four gestures must be executed smoothly and accurately, without any minor mistakes. The four gestures must be completed within five seconds. Its function is similar to using intention to control the flow of energy within the body, ultimately forming a powerful force.
Finally, the fourth group of four gestures:
The conditions are extremely demanding; the movements must be completed accurately and smoothly within one second, without the slightest pause or deviation. Otherwise, it must be started all over again.
The last set of gestures seems to release the energy within the body that has been controlled by the mind in an instant...
Of course, this is just Yang Zheng's guess.
Because he practiced all night and tried countless times, he failed when he got to the last four gestures.
It wasn't a mistake in his movements, nor was there any pause in the middle.
The main reason is that the time was too short and not enough at all.
It's simply impossible to make four complex hand gestures in a single second.
At the very least, he can't do it right now.
The sixteen figures on this white jade plate look simple, but they are actually very difficult to work with.
Especially the last four gestures.
Throughout the entire process, you must maintain a high level of concentration, so you will feel very tired after a long time.
This is mental fatigue, as if my brain has been completely drained.
Fortunately, his body had been enhanced by the exotic fruit; otherwise, if it were an ordinary person, let alone one night, they would probably be too tired to continue for even half an hour.
I failed all night, not a single time.
This annoyed Yang Zheng, who secretly vowed, "Damn it, I refuse to believe this nonsense! I won't give up until I figure it out!"
After six or seven hours of intense mental concentration, while also using his mind to control the strange energy flow within his body, his head was now throbbing with pain, and he felt dizzy and wanted to sleep.
"I didn't succeed just now because I was too tired and mentally exhausted. If I get back to my peak condition, I will definitely succeed."
"Let's get a rare fruit to replenish our strength and energy!"
Thinking of this, he immediately took out a strange fruit pit and poured the pulp into his mouth.
After swallowing the fruit marrow, he quickly became a different person, his whole body brimming with energy and his spirits soaring.
In his current state, let alone sleep, you could make him stay awake for three days and three nights.
After eating the exotic fruit, his mind suddenly became incredibly clear, and his memory became frighteningly sharp.
He slowly closed his eyes, having already memorized the sixteen hand gestures on the white jade tablet.
Now he can accurately and quickly make the corresponding hand gestures without even looking at the pattern.
"Keep practicing!"
Yang Zheng quickly and smoothly completed the first twelve gestures without any mistakes, taking less than thirty seconds in total.
At this moment, the strange energy within his body had already gathered into a massive surge of energy at his chest, ready to erupt at any moment.
The last four steps are the most important.
He took a deep breath and moved his hands in a series of rapid hand gestures.
Unsuccessful!
The energy that had been painstakingly gathered in the body was like a flood bursting its banks, instantly flowing away and dispersing in all directions, eventually turning into wisps of air that disappeared back into the lower abdomen.
"There were no mistakes in the movements just now, it was all the last four hand gestures, but it was still not fast enough, it took more than a second."
"continue!"
Now that he has eaten the exotic fruit, he is full of energy and high spirits, and his condition is excellent.
I repeated the sixteen gestures again, which took less than twenty-five seconds in total, six seconds less than exactly the required time.
It failed again.
The reason for the failure was that the last set of gestures was not completed within one second.
The last four gestures are extremely complex and the movements are very difficult.
If the first set of four gestures is the normal level, then the second set is the adventure level.
The difficulty level increased to the third group, becoming the Warrior level.
The final fourth group is at the highest difficulty level.
"Let's try again. Practice makes perfect, and we can speed things up even more. I refuse to believe this nonsense today!"
Yang Zheng did it again, which took a total of twenty seconds, and this time he shortened it by five seconds.
But it still failed!
He didn't go all out in the first three sets of movements because he wanted to save the final set for a sprint and acceleration, but he couldn't break the one-second barrier.
Damn it, again!
fail!
Another failure!
Still a failure!!
The Nth failure...
Time flies, and before we knew it, six or seven hours had passed. Now the sun is high in the sky, and it's already two o'clock in the afternoon.
At this moment, Yang Zheng seemed to have gone mad.
He practiced the sixteen hand gestures on the white jade tablet tirelessly without rest, and even after eating the exotic fruit, he did not need to rest.
He took less and less time and became more and more skilled. In the end, he completed a whole set of sixteen hand gestures in less than four seconds.
However, it was never possible to get the last four gestures within one second.
However, Yang Zheng was not discouraged by this.
He was pleasantly surprised to find that as his movements became faster and more skillful, he was getting closer and closer to success.
On several occasions, he clearly felt that he was only a hair's breadth away from success.
"These moves don't require much skill; it's all about talent, practice, and speed."
He may not have had this talent before, but after being enhanced by the exotic fruit, his sensory abilities and agile reaction speed have increased day by day.
Unconsciously, the exotic fruit compensated for his talent.
Especially when practicing these sixteen hand gestures, I unexpectedly discovered that these gestures, in addition to being able to manipulate the strange air currents within my body, can also greatly train my nerves, muscles, consciousness, and various reaction abilities.
Now he can easily catch a buzzing fly with a simple reach.
You know, he wouldn't have been able to do that even yesterday.
After resting for a short while, Yang Zheng secretly recalled which finger movements in the last four movements could be made faster and more smoothly connected.
In this situation, even a difference of 0.1 seconds could potentially lead to a successful breakthrough.
"Keep practicing! I'm going to succeed today, no matter what!"
In a short time, his hands moved rapidly, and in less than three seconds, he completed all twelve hand gestures in the first three sets perfectly.
At this moment, the strange energy within his body had gathered into a powerful force at his chest.
This energy was not formed on its own initiative, but rather required Yang Zheng to secretly manipulate his will to forcibly gather them together.
It's as if he used his mind to create a cage in his chest, trapping all the energy in his body inside.
This process is not stable. The mental cage that envelops the airflow is very thin and can be broken by them at any time, causing the airflow to leak out and escape continuously.
Therefore, the longer it drags on, the less energy will be left in the end.
He had to complete the last four complex gestures as quickly as possible.
At this moment, Yang Zheng remained calm and composed, his hands moving in a dazzling display of skill.
This process may seem long, but it is actually very short.
Finally, he completed all the gestures, holding the last one still.
But this time, the immense energy gathered in his chest did not dissipate.
As if guided by some mysterious force, they swiftly slithered along Yang Zheng's left arm.
Then it went up to his palm.
Then, something happened that shocked Yang Zheng.
Within his palms, invisible streams of energy continuously surged forth, quickly forming a pale white cloud between his hands.
The cloud of air was only the size of a thumb, and it exuded a cold aura that chilled people to the bone.
"I did it! I finally did it!"
Yang Zheng was overjoyed as he looked at the white sphere of energy that appeared in his palms.
However, what surprised him even more was yet to come.
The moment the white cloud appeared, he seemed to fall into some strange mental state.
It felt like the entire area within a ten-meter radius was his private domain.
The ball of energy in his hand seemed to be part of his body, like his hands and feet, and could move up and down and left and right according to his will.
However, it can only exist within one's own private space; once it exceeds this range, the gas cloud will instantly disappear.
"Why is a cloud of gas appearing? What is its purpose?"
"I was so curious that I didn't even test whether it could attack?"
"One more time..."
In less than four seconds, Yang Zheng perfectly completed the sixteen hand gestures, even faster than before.
This time, he succeeded again.
Another cold, white ball of energy appeared in his palm, slightly larger than before.
Within his private domain, Yang Zhengmo manipulated it with his mind, then sought out and attacked its target.
Suddenly,
A huge spider was crawling on the wall two meters away.
Yang Zheng's eyes flickered, and instantly, the white gas cloud suspended in mid-air transformed into a streak of light, shooting accurately towards the spider.
"Click click click..."
With a crisp, crackling sound, the giant spider, along with the small section of wall beneath it—an area roughly the size of a washbasin—was completely frozen solid.
A thick layer of ice appeared on the wall, and the spider that had been so lively just moments before was now frozen inside, like an ice sculpture sealed within.
