What heavy boots... Zhang Yuanqing broke out in a cold sweat. He guessed from Fu Qingyang's slightly trembling arms that this prop was not light.
But he didn't expect it to be so heavy that it directly broke his arm bone.
That’s not right. The boots are so heavy, why didn’t Fu Qingyang remind me... Zhang Yuanqing looked up and saw Fu Qingyang’s cold but mischievous expression.
How petty, still angry about "being ruined"
"Ah, this pair of boots is as light as a feather in the centurion's hands, but to me, it's as heavy as a thousand pounds. There's really a huge gap between the centurion and me." Zhang Yuanqing exclaimed loudly.
Hearing this, Fu Qing nodded slightly: "After receiving it in the inventory and recognizing its owner, it will become heavy in the normal sense. Before recognizing its owner, you can't lift it."
Zhang Yuanqing nodded, but did not put the boots away immediately, because at this moment, the item attribute introduction just appeared:
【Name: Houtu Boots】【Type: Footwear】
【Function: Mountain God (incomplete); fatal kick】
[Introduction: These shoes are made of silk from the Holy Mountain, as light as a feather, and hard to be cut by a knife. They were buried in the Holy Mountain for 33 years, absorbing the dragon veins and earth energy, and refining the essence of all directions before they were completed. They are called Hou Tu Boots.]
[Note 1: It is one of the parts of the heavenly worship dress. The remaining three parts are: crown, robe, and belt. It is said that collecting all four sets can reveal the secret of immortality.]
【Note 2: Wear it and you will be an honest person, a down-to-earth person.】
【Note 3: It is well known that honest people have good endurance. 】
Mountain God. I remember that Mountain God is the name of the job after the soil monster is transferred. Incomplete means that it only has some of the abilities of the Mountain God... Notes 2 and 3 are obviously the price. The word "honest man" makes me a little panic...
Zhang Yuanqing had an idea and put the Houtu boots that were pressing on his arm into the inventory, completing the recognition of the owner.
The next second, Hou Tu Boots were summoned from the inventory and landed on the carpet with a thud.
Zhang Yuanqing, with his arms shrugged, raised his left foot and, without taking off his shoes, put it into the opening of Hou Tu's boots. The opening of the shoe expanded automatically and easily accommodated his left foot.
It’s not as convenient to put on as the red dancing shoes, but it’s okay... Zhang Yuanqing put them on his right foot in the same way.
The moment he put on the boots, he naturally understood the function and role of the Hou Tu boots, and also understood their price.
The first is a fatal kick, which gathers the power of the earth in the leg and can kick out a blow at the level of a saint. It can only be used three times a day.
With this ability alone, I can kill ordinary extraordinary practitioners in seconds. Well, that is when I just use my physical body to fight... Zhang Yuanqing was overjoyed.
Next is the mountain god, who has two abilities:
1. Absorb the essence of the earth veins.
Absorbing the essence of the earth veins and converting it into endless physical strength, this is why earth monsters have infinite endurance.
As long as you keep your feet on the ground, you won't get tired even if you fight for three days and three nights. But it would be great if the donkeys in the production team could have this skill... Zhang Yuanqing muttered to himself.
Second, refine an area and become the "god" of this area, and the name of the mountain god comes from this. But the most ideal area to choose is deep mountains, because in this way, the mountain god can use the terrain to deal with enemies even if they are higher than his own level.
The second worst is the plains, and the worst is the cities.
"It sounds just like the mountain god in mythology. Could there be a water god as well? Refining an area and the water and fire formation of the Yin-Yang robe can complement each other." Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself.
As for the fatal blow, in terms of cost, Note 1 has two costs in total, one is being an honest person, and the other is being down-to-earth.
The so-called honest man refers to a person whose temperament becomes dull and honest. The most intuitive explanation is that one day Guan Ya asked him, "Did you peek at the girl's breasts today?"
Normally, Zhang Yuanqing would answer: I only look at yours. But after putting on the Houtu boots, his answer was: I, I...looked at several young ladies (with a face full of shame) Another price is to be down to earth.
Literally, when wearing the earth boots, the range of jumps will be greatly reduced and basically restricted to the ground.
Note 2 is both a cost and an ability. The endurance mentioned here is not just physical strength, but also mental endurance, such as patience, the ability to endure pain, the ability to withstand provocation, and so on.
At this time, Fu Qingyang next to him commented:
"Hou Tu Boots is a good item. If you can make good use of the power of the mountain god, you can compete with Zhao Cheng Huang."
With Yuanshi's current strength, he is actually far inferior to Zhao Chenghuang.
If it weren't for that set of armor, Yuanshi's corpse would be destroyed in a short time. At that time, Zhao Chenghuang would cooperate with the corpse to launch a siege, and Yuanshi would undoubtedly be defeated.
Try wearing the Yin-Yang robe again to see if there are any set skills... Zhang Yuanqing seemed not to hear Fu Qingyang's words and took out the Yin-Yang robe from the inventory.
Since it is a set, there must be some bonus between the parts, otherwise it would not be called a set.
But Zhang Yuanqing is not sure whether this bonus will only appear after the complete set is collected, or whether it will be enough if two pieces are collected.
Crash~
The robe unfolded and draped over the shoulders.
Zhang Yuanqing sensed it carefully for a moment and showed surprise on his face.
Sure enough, there is a set skill. This skill is that when the Yin-Yang magic circle is unfolded, the water and fire clones will no longer be flame people and water bodies. The Hou Tu boots will give the two clones entities - clay human faces.
The clay man's body is indestructible and has great strength.
What surprised Zhang Yuanqing was that he finally made up for the insufficient output of the water and fire clones.
If there are Hou Tu boots in the ring match, and the Yin Yang magic circle is deployed, Zhang Yuanqing is guaranteed to be able to beat Zhao Cheng Huang so badly that even his grandfather won't recognize him.
"This robe of yours is..."
Fu Qingyang was stunned for a moment, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
As a scout, he discerned the truth from Yuanshi's micro-expressions and the action of taking out the robe.
Zhang Yuanqing did not hide anything: "This robe is a hidden item I got from Yin Yang Town. It is one of the Heaven Sacrifice Set, as is the Hou Tu Boots.
Fu Qingyang had already suppressed his astonishment and nodded slightly:
"No wonder you asked me to check the properties of Hou Tu Boots. The set is very rare. So far, we have collected and known no more than ten sets. Each set is priceless.
"Even for the elders, it is difficult to collect a complete set. Yuanshi, you are very lucky."
Zhang Yuanqing showed an irrepressible smile on his face: "I plan to find a way to obtain the Heaven Sacrifice Set, so that I can use it until I reach the Domination Realm.
Fu Qingyang: "This is difficult. There are only a handful of people in the Five Elements Alliance who have collected the complete set, and each of them is a child of destiny."
Zhang Yuanqing asked, "Has anyone in our official team collected the complete set?"
Fu Qingyang: "I" I shouldn't have asked, so I'm waiting here... Zhang Yuanqing bowed his head and said, "Under the powerful centurion, who else but me can be the master? By the middle of the year, I will become the master, step into the sky, and dominate the Five Elements Alliance."
Fu Qingyang glanced at him and said, "Rest for a while and fix your broken bones. Stay here for lunch."
Two o'clock in the afternoon, at the Colosseum.
Figures descended one after another, and the originally empty auditorium became crowded within two or three seconds, filled with heads of people.
Zhang Yuanqing appeared randomly somewhere in the audience, and he didn't recognize any of the official travelers around him.
But others knew him.
The one who screamed was a pretty girl, covering her mouth with her hands, her face full of surprise.
The female companions beside her also had excited and thrilled expressions.
I am also an idol-level figure now... Zhang Yuanqing was delighted and was about to use his social skills to have a chat with several young ladies when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Guan Ya in the distance, looking at him with a smile.
The teachings of my life mentor flashed through my mind.
Zhang Yuanqing nodded slightly, imitating Fu Qingyang's attitude, walked past his female colleagues with a cold face, walked slowly towards the old driver.
"Hey, he's so cool, unlike the lively guy he was during the game."
“It’s better to be cool, which means he won’t randomly flirt with girls. I like abstinent male gods.
Women like abstinent male gods, just like men like iceberg beauties. Although I can't get them, they are still pure. Men and women with promiscuous styles will not have a good reputation, because the suitors who covet their beauty know in their hearts that their male gods and goddesses are sleeping with others every day...
The words of my life mentor once again came to my mind.
"Sister Guan Ya" He sat down next to the old driver.
Zhang Yuanqing knew that his behavior of looking for her first after entering the venue would definitely win her favor. His cold attitude towards the "fans" just now would increase her favorability again.
"Yeah." Guan Ya nodded with a bright smile, satisfaction hidden in her eyes.
The chaotic and noisy seat change ended quickly. The Queen did not watch today's game. Guan Ya said that she happened to be on duty today, so she could only stay in reality with tears in her eyes.
As for Little Green Tea and Jiang Jingwei, Zhang Yuanqing did not see them.
Amid the sound of scales colliding, the armored swordsman appeared on the stage. After a brief opening speech, the spiritual realm travelers present received a list of battles that popped up from the spiritual realm.
"The Ghost King of Fengdu vs. Crossing the River with a Reed"
"Lingjun vs. the milky red powder head"
"Fu Qingyang vs. the Blazing Holy Flame"
Zhang Yuanqing quickly scanned the battle list and said in surprise:
"It's just the beginning and there are so many star players coming on stage"
In the extraordinary stage of the competition, there were not many star players appearing on the first day.
Ah, in a super first-tier city like Songhai, there are only a dozen or twenty saints, and they may not necessarily participate in the competition.
Many older saints will not join the battle unless they are confident that they can make it into the top ten.
On the one hand, they may not participate in the killing dungeon, and on the other hand, it is embarrassing to lose.
Deacons are the backbone of the official organization. On ordinary days, when the elders are not out, deacons are the highest leaders that official practitioners can contact.
领导的面子比什么都重要。
张元清“哦哦”几声，耐心等待着，不多时，第一组选手登场。
酆都鬼王年纪约莫三十，一身黑衣黑裤，容貌普通，却有一股难言的贵气，以及隐隐约约的霸道气场。
极为瞩目。
一苇渡江是体态轻柔的女子，秀美，沉静，看不出年纪。
两人入场后，覆甲剑客高声道∶
“开始”
酆都鬼王不紧不慢的取出一面小圆镜，照了照脸，这才打一个响指。
“咚咚咚”
三具魁梧的阴尸跃入场内，带来巨石滚落的响动，它们穿着统一的服装，统一的发型，站姿也一模一样。
“这个酆都鬼王是有强迫症吗。”张元清调侃了一句。
“是刻板”关雅根据自己的观察，给出肯定答复。
张元清再看酆都鬼王冷峻的脸庞，刻板，严肃，不苟言笑。
他心说难怪阴姬不喜欢酆都鬼王，改投魔君的怀抱，魔君嘴甜活好天赋又强，显然比严肃正经的男人更能吸引女人。
思绪飘忽间，三具阴尸成犄角之势
l
冲向一苇渡江，咚咚的脚步声沉稳有力，又急促快速。
每一脚都踏裂擂台石板。
一苇渡江瞳孔骤然收缩，眼球化作琥珀色，瞳孔竖起，皮肤下生长出厚实的黄毛，嘴边延伸出胡须，鼻头变黑变圆，指甲延伸弯曲，化作利爪。
瞬息间，她变成了一只玲珑浮凸的猫女。
猫女轻盈的跃起，从三具阴尸头顶跳过，让它们的扑杀落空。
猫女无声无息的落地，没有任何声音，紧接着化作残影，迅捷如电，掠向酆都鬼王。
于此同时，酆都鬼王脚下的石板长出一丛丛碧绿的野草，地毯般的铺开，让擂台地面变成草坪。
酆都鬼王不动声色，纵身一跃，跃起数米高，并在万众瞩目下，进入夜游，消失不见。
猫女立刻顿住冲势，警惕的左右环顾，观察草坪是否有被踩踏痕迹。
但酆都鬼王就像消失了一般。
“你觉得他在哪里”关雅低声问道。
张元清想也没想，道“在阴尸肩上。”
混血美人诧异看他一眼，这和她洞察到的情况一致，但元始不是斥候，也没戴洞察者眼镜，全凭战斗智慧推理出来。
这时，其中一具阴尸的肩膀上，显现出酆都鬼王的身影。
他手里握着一面小圆镜，对镜自照，他似乎从镜子里看到了满意的事物，轻笑一声，继而吐出一口气绵绵无尽的太阴之力。
“呜呜呜…”
鬼哭声响彻全场，气温骤降。
身为夜游神的张元清，清晰的看到一缕缕青烟伴随着太阴之力飘出，当空幻化出各种厉鬼怨灵。
有男有女，有老有少，或面目狰狞，或披头散发。
足足数十只怨灵。
这些怨灵手里握着一把把镰刀，当空飘**，群鬼乱舞。
这，这是灵仆也太多了吧，不对，不是灵仆，介于灵仆和怨灵之间，这是什么操作……张元清惊呆了。
怨灵高举着镰刀，俯冲向猫女。
每一刀砍中，都让猫女发出痛苦的尖叫，她能凭借敏捷躲避阴尸的攻击，却避不开这些看不见的怨灵。
几分钟后，战斗结束。
酆都鬼王没费多少精力，就赢得了胜利。
感觉就像在虐菜，这就是上一代主宰之下无敌者他为什么要照镜子目前为止，酆都鬼王施展的都是夜游神的能力，星官的能力呢张元清暗暗感慨。
第二组是灵钧和乳红的粉头，后者是一位瘟神，擅长的病菌、微生物领域能力，被兽王的治愈克制。
但灵钧打的不温不火，从头到尾，没有主动出击，因为“粉头”是一位极有韵味的熟女。
“姐姐是哪个分部的执事”
“铜省。”
“唉，这场比赛我占便宜了，胜之不武。
“无妨，胜负本就不重要。”
“对，胜负不重要，能和姐姐这样优秀的女**手，是我参赛最大的收获。
“不愧是花公子，真会说话。
“姐姐参加擂台赛是冲着奖励来的”“是磨砺。
磨磨蹭蹭的打了半小时，覆甲剑客忍不住皱眉高声
“速战速决!”
灵钧一听，捂着胸口“啊”一声“我生病了，我认输。
对面的熟女愣了愣，满脸愕然。
她刚想说什么，灵钧已经捂着胸口，踉踉跄跄的返回观众席。
他故意让我的……是想让我多磨砺几场.……水神宫的熟女执事立刻明白了花公子的心意。
一时间又感激又意外，对他好感大增。
“傅青阳和圣火熊熊入场。
覆甲剑客话音落下，某处席位，一道白衣人影施施然起身，他没有向其他选手那样从高墙跃下，而是抓出一件蔚蓝色的披风，披在肩上。
哗啦啦
披风猎猎招展，一股气旋自傅青阳脚底升起，托着他飘向擂台中央。
观众席上，传来一声声喝彩。
“真骚包啊……”张元清说。
关雅很赞同他的说法，感慨道∶“青阳这孩子，打小就喜欢装酷。
“而且人傻钱多。”
“却自诩以德服人。”
“这些话咱们私底下说说，不要外传。
“正有此意。”
说话间，一道火球从观众席升起，炮弹般的砸向飘在半空的傅青阳。
傅青阳脸色一冷，屈指一弹，火球“轰”的炸开，膨胀的火光里，一道昂藏的人影出现。
此人年约四十，身材魁梧，络腮胡，气息霸道，目光凌厉，是那种走在街上被人多看几眼，就会奔过来质问“你瞅啥”，然后给你一拳的家伙。
“傅青阳”圣火熊熊高声道
“都说你是主宰境以下第一人，我不服气，正好领教高招，希望你不是浪得虚……”
话没说话，正缓缓下坠的他，看见傅青阳从虚空中抓出一把汉八方青铜剑，剑锋犀利，剑身却布满铜锈。
脸色冷漠的钱公子，一剑斩下。
圣火熊熊瞳孔微缩，身体诡异的剧烈颤抖，脑海里闪过无数种闪避的方式，但有自我矛盾，自我否决。
最后什么都没做，任由剑锋剖开胸膛，斩断胸骨。
砰
圣火熊熊重重砸在擂台上，鲜血在胸**开，染红草坪。
傅青阳调转身体，飘回擂台.
战斗还没开始，就已经结束。
后勤队匆匆上台，查看一下伤势后，高声道“长老，需要注射生命原液。
覆甲剑客微微颔首。
后勤队抬着圣火熊熊，匆匆离去。
全场鸦雀无声。
几秒后，掀起潮水般的喧哗。
“什么这就结束了圣火执事收钱了吧。”
“演的好假，傅青阳那一剑，我都能避开，堂堂执事避不开钱公子不愧是钱公子。”
观众们你一句我一句，议论不休，纷纷指责傅青阳打假赛。
张元清忽然想起当初在第三小学猎杀黑无常时，那位暗夜玫瑰的火师，可是连和傅青阳近战的勇气都没有。
而这个圣火执事，一上场就莽过来了。
相比起来，这位才是正儿八经的火师啊，暗夜玫瑰那个火师，简直是火师之耻。
议论声中，张元清听见关雅感慨道∶
“这就是技近乎道”
技近乎道……他心里默念这四个字，趁机问道
“这句话到底什么意思”
这个问题困扰了他许久。
“上次和你说过，过河卒被称为小青阳，过河卒的洞察专精，你是领教过的。”关雅说道“傅青阳的斩击，就是过河卒洞察专精的加强版，嗯，加强了无数个版本。”
张元清点点头，过河卒能预判两到三步，他一抬枪口，你就有种必被打中的感觉，不管朝左还是朝右，都会被人家预判到。
“所以，百夫长是预判了七八步，甚至更多”
关雅摇摇头，脸色严肃∶
“不，如果是这样，当不得技近乎道四个字，他的境界还要更高一层。”
更高一层张元清挑起眉头“什么意思”
“我以前跟你说过，傅青阳天赋并不好，自幼被家族长辈们轻视，同龄人里，他属于中等偏下，但他很骄傲，那种骄傲是从骨子里发出来的，有时候我很不理解，明明那么弱，为什么却这么骄傲呢，凭什么正因为他这种盲目的骄傲，时常被家族同龄人欺负。”关雅说起这些的时候，眼神里是追忆，是感慨，是敬佩。
“直到15岁那年，家族举办的格斗比赛里，我被他用木刀砍晕，他只用了一刀。但那一刀又快又狠又准，打的我猝不及防。
“后来我才知道，过去的七八年里，傅青阳只练一招，那就斩击!
“他知道自己天赋不好，所以他不学格斗，不学招式，只练斩击。把所有的精力和心血集中在一招，使其登峰造极。
“我输的心服口服，因为我知道，那一刀凝聚了他的骄傲，凝聚了他半生的心血，当他出刀时，便已经无敌了。”
关雅叹口气
“成为灵境行者后，他把洞察融入斩击，依旧日以继夜的重复练习，家族长辈仍不看好他，都觉得他路走的太窄，只会一招，就意味着很容易被针对。
"That's indeed the case. Back then, he was like the river-crossing soldier now, very strong but not outstanding. It was not until he was promoted to the Saint Realm that we discovered with horror that he had turned this sword into a rule."
At this point, Guan Ya looked at Yuan Shi, who was dumbfounded, and nodded:
"Yes, it's the rules, the rules of rule-based props.
“His slashing attack cannot be avoided, you can only resist it. Even the master cannot avoid it, just like your pair of red dancing shoes. Elder Dog can do nothing about it.
"Fu Qingyang is the first person to control the rules since the birth of the Spirit Realm. Of course, I don't know whether the leaders can do it."
Zhang Yuanqing murmured
"This is what it means, skill is close to the Tao..."
He suddenly understood why Fu Qingyang looked down on geniuses, why he said these geniuses were trash, and why he said the female marshal's diligence was not worthy of her talent.
Fu Qingyang does have the capital. He may not be very talented, but he has the heart of a strong man.
It’s so sad and inspiring... Zhang Yuanqing said silently in his heart.
At this time, a soft and pleasant voice came from the side.
"Yuanshi Tianzun"
Zhang Yuanqing collected his thoughts and looked in the direction of the voice. The person coming was a mature and attractive young woman.
Her face is round, delicate, and her lips are fiery red, just like a plump peony.
