Another Stage Cleared, I Can Live Happily Again!

Luo Zhou got up, and decided to act immediately.

No matter how good the spiritual energy was, if he was exposed as a Holy Son among devils, he would surely die.

He had to disperse the spiritual energy.

Luo Zhou felt heartbroken at the thought of dispersing it for nothing.

He decided to refine Dragon-Slaying Thrusts then!

Dragon-Slaying Thrusts couldn't be preserved for long. If they shattered by then, Luo Zhou would accept it.

He took out the best white birch wood and began condensing Dragon-Slaying Thrusts.

He'd just treat it as gaining refining experience.

With this white birch wood, the quality was truly excellent, with almost no waste.

Nine strands of spiritual energy, nine pieces of white birch wood, were needed to refine one Dragon-Slaying Thrust.

Continuing, Luo Zhou refined all ninety-nine strands of Tidal Qi in his body into Dragon-Slaying Thrusts.

He hid the refined Dragon-Slaying Thrusts within Eyebrow-Level Staffs made of white birch wood for preservation.

He refined a total of eleven, adding the remaining two, for thirteen Dragon-Slaying Thrusts.

Once the Dragon-Slaying Thrusts were refined, Luo Zhou couldn't bear to destroy them.

After some thought, he went to the bald Wang Family's house and hid them on the roof beams.

The Wang Family's house had been dug up and ruined by Liu Jinpeng, and the brothers Wang Gang and Wang Qiang had been driven away by the village chief. It was now a derelict haunted house.

If he hid them here, when the time came, he'd accept it if the Dragon-Slaying Thrusts automatically dissipated.

He couldn't listen to the prophet for everything; he had to have his own opinions.

Luo Zhou carefully examined the secret manual "The Azure Waters Flow East to This Return," memorizing it word by word.

After confirming he hadn't missed a single character, he sent it into the Fire Furnace and burned it directly.

Actually, after losing the Weak Water spiritual energy, his Spiritual Power "Three Thousand Weak Waters" seemed to have vanished, rendering it unusable.

Now, without any true energy, his Spiritual Power "Overturning Rivers and Seas" could still be used.

This was because Luo Zhou possessed the Overturning Rivers and Seas Force User constitution. Even without true energy, he could still unleash this Spiritual Power.

However, when he used this Spiritual Power again, its might was terrifyingly weak, with an attack range of only three feet in front of him.

Moreover, Luo Zhou vaguely felt that using it this way didn't consume anything else, but his own lifespan.

One year per use!

This Spiritual Power was effectively useless!

With his immortal official title of Overturning Rivers and Seas Force User, the origin of his Spiritual Power "Overturning Rivers and Seas" could be explained.

The immortal official title Overturning Rivers and Seas Force User was born from Spiritual Power, and now it was affecting Spiritual Power in return.

It could be considered a cycle of karma.

With everything settled, Luo Zhou headed to the Daoist Academy to cultivate.

After thinking about it, Luo Zhou carried three ordinary Eyebrow-Level Staffs made of white birch wood.

He used to carry them every day, and now he had to carry them even more!

For some reason, he felt incredibly comfortable all over when he walked.

The disappearance of true energy from his Dantian seemed like a great loss, but for Luo Zhou, who was in the Body Tempering realm, it was a purification of himself, which was very beneficial for his future.

Carrying too many things that surpassed his own realm wasn't actually a good thing!

Arriving at the Daoist Academy, he cultivated with his classmates.

Only fifteen students came to school today.

This was the life Luo Zhou should have been living, a life of carefree living and cultivation.

In the training ground, Luo Zhou slowly practiced his punches, his spirit filled with a sense of confusion.

The Daoist Academy only taught the Baiyang Body Refining Technique, Green Profound Body Refining Technique, and Purple Heavens Body Refining Technique. It did not teach any martial arts or combat techniques; one had to purchase and cultivate them independently.

Luo Zhou had five sets of combat skills from Li Haitian's Constable training: iron sword, ruler, iron staff, archery, and chain.

He also had two sets of Overturning Rivers and Seas movement and palm techniques. However, these two sets of techniques were common, run-of-the-mill palm techniques.

Previously, Luo Zhou thought they were completely inferior to Li Haitian's Constable skills.

But while cultivating today, he felt something was wrong.

It seemed that the Overturning Rivers and Seas palm techniques hid a deeper meaning, far surpassing the five Constable skills.

The more he cultivated, the more he felt this way.

"What is going on?"

Luo Zhou couldn't help but ask himself inwardly.

In reality, he was asking the omniscient one.

"Because of Luo Zhou, you have me, and I make you recognize and understand them more clearly.

Li Haitian's Constable skill is just ordinary swordsmanship, with no profound meaning, suitable for Body Tempering and Qi Refining stages.

The Overturning Rivers and Seas fist and palm techniques were passed down by the Dao Master. To put it bluntly, they contain the mysteries of the laws of heaven and the principles of the universe.

They are suitable for any realm!

It's just that people don't recognize treasures, they are blind and cannot distinguish gold from jade!

As long as you cultivate and study diligently, and put in enough effort, they will definitely bring you unimaginable rewards!"

Luo Zhou nodded, so that's how it was.

He immediately made a decision, abandoning Li Haitian's Constable skill and fully cultivating the Overturning Rivers and Seas fist and palm techniques.

River Overturning Palm, Sea Treading Fist!

Luo Zhou began to cultivate here.

The more he cultivated, the more tedious and meaningless it felt.

But he persisted, and gradually felt infinite profundity within.

Yet, he was just a little bit short of comprehending the key points.

He was stuck, neither advancing nor retreating. This was a bottleneck!

While Luo Zhou was cultivating, the Omniscient suddenly sent a message:

"Luo Zhou, look at that person on the east side of the training ground!"

Luo Zhou looked and saw only an immortal elder, strolling by the training ground, observing the many students.

He casually said, "It's Zhang Xianchang, what's wrong?"

"Zhang Xianchang? Are you sure it's Zhang Xianchang? When did you get to know him? When did you learn from him? When did you last see him?"

Luo Zhou said, "It's Zhang Xianchang, an old man from the Daoist Academy. When I came to the Daoist Academy, I, I..."

Luo Zhou suddenly realized that he had never seen this Zhang Xianchang before.

But for some reason, upon seeing him, he automatically identified him as Zhang Xianchang from the Daoist Academy...

He gasped for breath and asked, "They, they've arrived?"

"It can be confirmed that they have special ability and are here to investigate the Saint Son of Jellyfish Celestial Palace. Fortunately, we destroyed everything this morning!"

Luo Zhou broke out in a cold sweat and asked, "What should we do?"

"Continue cultivating. Who is he? What does it have to do with you!

You are the Saint Son of the Devil, the Saint Body of the Devil Master. He is looking for the Saint Son of Jellyfish Celestial Palace, what does it have to do with you?"

Luo Zhou nodded and continued cultivating, not caring.

But he just couldn't find the breakthrough point for this bottleneck, let alone overcome it.

Luo Zhou cultivated diligently for an hour, but it was useless.

He couldn't help but sigh, about to give up.

Unexpectedly, someone beside him said:

"Giving up just like that is a real shame."

Luo Zhou looked and saw it was Zhang Xianchang.

He hesitated and said, "Zhang Xianchang?"

"I've been watching for an hour. You're just a little bit short, it's a pity. Come, I'll help you!"

After speaking, he gently touched Luo Zhou's back and said, "Punch!"

Did opportunity arrive?

Luo Zhou continued to punch, River Overturning Palm, Sea Treading Fist!

This time it was completely different from before. Every movement was incredibly smooth, his fists and feet were supple and flexible, his limbs were filled with boundless strength, and every punch, every palm, was so natural and powerful, capable of splitting mountains and shattering the earth, exhilarating and satisfying.

Suddenly, Luo Zhou felt the bottleneck. He let out a great roar!

The sound shot straight into the sky, growing louder and louder, causing the surrounding energy to tremble. He suddenly threw a punch.

No clouds, no wind, no sound, no light, only the Overturning Rivers and Seas!

At this moment, the bottleneck was broken. All the previous doubts, unclear details, and difficulties were suddenly understood.

He had completely comprehended the new River Overturning Palm and Sea Treading Fist!

Zhang Xianchang nodded and said, "Good child! You've attained enlightenment!"

Luo Zhou was extremely grateful and said, "Thank you, Immortal Elder, for your guidance. Luo Zhou is deeply grateful!"

"This is your own opportunity. It's just a pity that this opportunity was used on the Overturning Rivers and Seas techniques. Their upper limit is too low, what a waste!"

Even though he was powerful, his vision was limited, and he could not see the profound heritage of the Overturning Rivers and Seas.

Luo Zhou wouldn't tell the truth, merely saying:

"I know, but I have the immortal position of Overturning Rivers and Seas Force User, mastering Spiritual Power and Overturning Rivers and Seas. If I don't cultivate this skill thoroughly, I feel like it's all a waste!"

Zhang Xianchang nodded. That was indeed the case. After imparting a few more teachings, satisfying his desire to instruct, he turned and left.

Luo Zhou bowed respectfully, only to hear the Omniscient say:

"He was secretly examining you just now, no issues found. He also quietly touched your Eyebrow-Level Staff, luckily you replaced it with a normal wooden stick. Congratulations, Luo Zhou, you've passed another trial and can continue to live happily!"
