Chapter 79 No Shortcomings
royal palace.
Emperor Qing and the Princess Royal received messages from the Qing Temple one after the other. The difference was that one received a message from the high priest, while the other received a message from Master Sanshi. The latter was a member of the Junshan Society, so he naturally informed the Princess Royal. However, the message from the high priest also included Master Sanshi, so there was no need for Sanshi to report to Emperor Qing separately.
Emperor Qing and the eldest princess lost a lot of brain cells. It was too strange that Marquis Shenwu went to Qing Temple. Even with their intelligence, they could not guess that there was friction between the Six Gates and the Supervisory Council in the outside world. As the master of the Six Gates, did he still have the mind to go to Qing Temple?
As for the matter of Marquis Shenwu and Sanshi exchanging martial arts, Emperor Qing and the Princess knew about it, but they did not think it was a big deal. For people who have already practiced to the ninth level, there is no further to go. As for breaking through to the grandmaster level, haha.
If you think too much about conspiracy, you will be easily misled and easily imagine the other party to be the same as yourself. For example, now, Shen Qingzhou is actually doing it for martial arts.
In the residence of Marquis Shenwu, Bailong was happily eating meat when suddenly he heard his master's loud laughter.
In the room, Shen Qingzhou was standing tall at the moment. His clothes looked a bit out of place. A closer look revealed that the clothes had become too big.
It's not that the clothes have become bigger, but that Shen Qingzhou's height has become shorter. He was originally two meters and five, a giant, but now, he is only a little over two meters and twenty.
This is the effect after the fusion of the iron shirt. Before, Shen Qingzhou, because of the continuous upgrading of the body-building method, this simplest blood and energy power made him grow taller and taller, and his blood and energy power was too abundant.
But after integrating into the Iron Shirt, his whole body changed, and it had already exceeded the scene described in the Iron Shirt secret book.
The original iron shirt was the most ideal state for a person who had created merit, which was to be able to withstand 70% of the true qi attack power of a ninth-grade master, without even having the idea of defeating the opponent.
At that time, the Grand Master in the world was of the ninth rank. The so-called Grand Master was created after Ye Qingmei brought out the secret book. There was no such person in that era.
Shen Qingzhou estimated that the level of this secret book should be equivalent to the fourth level of his own martial arts. Although it is an ideal state, no one has achieved it.
However, the Iron Shirt was integrated into, or swallowed up by, the Body Tempering Technique, and reached the peak of Level Five in one step, which had long surpassed the scope of the Iron Shirt itself.
Even if the Iron Shirt was trained to the top level, its defense was not as high as Shen Qingzhou's who was also practicing the fourth-level body-building method. Although the body-building method only trains Qi and blood, it makes sense that the defense would be enhanced if the Qi and blood were too abundant.
It is mainly the evolution of mythology, but there are no blind spots. The so-called temple skills are definitely not as good as mythology.
But after the iron shirt was integrated into the body-building method, there were great changes. First of all, the skin became extremely hard. It was not the kind that felt like stone to the touch. It felt like normal skin when pressed, but it was extremely tough.
The iron shirt's defense against true Qi is the most effective. When he was fighting with Hong Sixiang before, he could still feel the damage caused by the opponent's true Qi entering his body.
Although the body-building method is amazing and can repair itself as soon as it is damaged, which is equivalent to no damage, it is still damaged.
Shen Qingzhou estimated that if he were to meet Hong Sixiang's true energy now, and he still had the same strength as it did back then, no, even if it was ten times stronger, it would not be possible to break through his defense.
This is also the reason why I became shorter. After the iron shirt was added, the energy and blood in my body became one and concentrated.
This could be considered as what Shen Qingzhou did on purpose. Being too tall is indeed inconvenient. There was no way around it before, but it is a little better now.
He no longer has to worry about people asking about his height, and he now has the ability to protect himself.
In addition to defense, the biggest gain was that Shen Qingzhou threw a punch, and a bloody fist hit the ground with a loud bang, which scared Bai Long and created a big hole on the ground.
The true Qi that Shen Qingzhou had been thinking about was released in an unexpected form, but it was different from that of others. Others had colorless true Qi, but his was blood-colored because he used his own Qi and blood.
After the blood and qi entered the meridians, they replaced the role of the true qi and did not lose like the true qi, which also meant that he could use Qinggong. Shen Qingzhou was not short of martial arts secrets at all. Although the effect might be inaccurate due to the difference between true qi and blood and qi, it could still be used.
Shen Qingzhou recalled the Qinggong skills he knew by heart, then stepped on the ground with one foot and soared into the sky.
Feeling this unique scenery, Shen Qingzhou was satisfied. This was different from before. The speed was also fast in a small space, but it all relied on explosive power.
Now, as the body gently fell to the ground, there were only a few traces of damage on the ground. After all, blood and qi are not true qi. After leaving the body, they have attack power. Other people's light skills are also created based on true qi, which is a bit incompatible with blood and qi. It is understandable.
Before, I relied entirely on explosive power. Once I exerted force, a big hole would appear on the spot. If I used less force, my speed would also be slower.
Now that the power of qi and blood has replaced the explosion of pure strength, he can still accept some minor flaws.
[Host comprehends the light body technique and the lifting method]
He picked up the Fang Tian Hua Ji next to him, shook his arms, and released the golden and iron body to stab, pick, poke, lift and sweep.
Shen Qingzhou already remembered the Fang Tian Hua Ji routine clearly, but the only thing he lacked was the skill to form it.
Although he can also use this weapon, it is completely different from the feeling of using a hammer, which is like adding wings to a tiger. It feels like there is not much bonus. He can defeat all the ninth-grade warriors with the Fang Tian Hua Ji, but that is because he has a strong physique.
The hammer method is different. He can use the hammer to inflict amplified damage. After the hammer fist reaches level 4, the original battlefield hammer method has become skill-based, and heavy weapons can be used in martial arts fights. This is the change of the hammer fist after it reaches level 4. In addition to the big swings, there are also skills. However, no one can force him to use skills.
[Host comprehends basic halberd techniques]
Shen Qingzhou was extremely happy. He swung his Fang Tian Hua Ji and inserted it accurately into the weapon rack. He then casually raised a spear and practiced the moves. He felt lost inside.
Wasn't it agreed that spear skills are also a form of halberd skills? That's too much. He picked up the bow and arrow, let the blood flow, and then shot the arrow. You could see a slight blood color on the arrow.
[Host comprehends basic archery skills]
After putting down the bow and arrow, he casually picked up a long sword. As a swordsman who dreams of wearing fluttering white clothes, how can he not learn swordsmanship?
[Host comprehends basic swordsmanship]
Shen Qingzhou put down the sword in his hand. These were his newly added skills: Qinggong, painted halberd, bow and arrow, and swordsmanship.
These are things he has been practicing over the years, but he has never formed them into skills. Now, when the true qi appears, the skills also appear. This is the result of his many years of hard practice.
He has not learned advanced sword techniques, although he has some secret manuals, but they all require the use of true Qi.
He still couldn't figure out the reason for the appearance of his skills. The appearance of so many skills this time must be related to the release of his blood and energy, but he still didn't quite understand his previous boxing, body-building, and horsemanship.
At this moment, Shen Qingzhou no longer has any shortcomings.
