Resolve
"Wonderful!"
Zhang Xuezhou tried many methods, but ultimately felt that choosing the Mental Strengthening Chapter content was more suitable for the medicinal effects of the saliva, and wouldn't waste this fortuitous opportunity.
Just as his body received a continuous flow of Law Power from Spiritual Qi, Zhang Xuezhou felt that his spiritual power was also inexhaustible, as if he had been injected with the X864 gene drug.
With this confidence, he undoubtedly had many advantages in cultivating and promoting his spiritual power.
Zhang Xuezhou was well aware that Chapter Six of Ren Yisheng's Mental Strengthening Chapter might have flaws, Ren Anran had also mentioned that the Realm Technique might be incorporated into it in the future, but Zhang Xuezhou couldn't possibly reach the pinnacle of cultivation in one go.
He had just hitched a ride and was thinking of shifting gears and starting the car.
He felt that no matter how flawed the content of Chapter Six might be, it couldn't possibly be wrong from the very beginning.
The spiritual power of the Great Perfection of Chapter Five propelled the entry into Chapter Six.
Just as realm-crossing techniques bring about different effects, so too does Mental Strengthening.
With that step, Zhang Xuezhou felt a transformation in the nature of his spiritual power.
Like steel forged through countless trials, Zhang Xuezhou felt a wondrous transformation in his spiritual power, as if it had moved from the virtual to the tangible.
When he concentrated his spiritual power and pushed it out, he was able to blow the pages of a book placed several meters away and turn them upside down.
This is similar to Ren Yisheng's destruction of many books in the room when his spiritual power erupted, except that Zhang Xuezhou's spiritual power is far from reaching the level of Ren Yisheng.
The spiritual power granted Zhang Xuezhou an effective extension of the distance when Technique Method, resulting in more precise spell control and the ability to enhance certain Technique Method.
The Realm Technique increased the capacity of Zhang Xuezhou Zhang Xuezhou's spiritual power, allowing him to use the Kunpeng Combat Technique far more often than Ren Yisheng had estimated.
These two factors complement each other, making Zhang Xuezhou more powerful than ordinary cultivators at the same stage, but not to the point of transcending the definitions of Technique Method and spirit.
His Technique Method still requires continuous practice to enhance its power, and his mental strength also needs to be constantly pushed upwards to increase its intensity.
"I should already be much stronger than the average cultivator, especially since I've obtained the Yellow Sand Sect's Technique Method and the Azure Rock Staff that enhances sand Technique Method. From now on, I'm capable of engaging in direct combat."
Feeling his spiritual power grow even stronger, Zhang Xuezhou also considered the Huangsha Sect's Technique Method for cross-sect cultivation.
The Technique Method modified by Confucian School are inferior to the original. His Technique Method, which are practiced across different sects, are certainly not as good as those of Venerable Yellow Sand. However, Zhang Xuezhou can make up for the deficiencies with his spiritual power, thus making it possible to approach or even surpass the original Technique Method.
After experimenting with his mental power at the initial stage of Chapter Six, he couldn't resist finding a bunch of sand to test his newly learned Sand Entanglement Technique.
Countless grains of sand danced in his Technique Method, then covered a wooden stake used for testing like mosquitoes.
A constant rustling sound could be heard.
When Zhang Xuezhou stopped his Technique Method, he saw that the wooden stake had been riddled with holes by the sand.
This Technique Method takes a long time to cast, consumes a lot of Law Power, and requires a very high level of skill to control. It is one of the more suitable Technique Method for Zhang Xuezhou among the Huangsha Sect Technique Method revised by Dong Zhongshu.
This aligns with Zhang Xuezhou's usual fighting style: fight if he can win, run if he can't, and then come back to launch a surprise attack.
As Technique Method skills continue to improve, the casting time of the Yellow Sand Entanglement Technique will inevitably be shortened, and the Law Power consumption will also decrease, making it applicable to direct confrontations.
It can be said that Dong Zhongshu considered Zhang Xuezhou very thoroughly. This is a technique that can be used when starting out, and it is also a technique that one does not need to abandon even after mastering it.
Besides the Yellow Sand Entangling Technique, the secret scroll also contains the Yellow Sand Sect's supreme Sand Transformation Technique, which can directly turn an opponent into sand grains.
The power of this technique does not lie in its ability to take lives, but in allowing the Yellow Sand Sect's Technique Method to break free from the limitations of desert and sandy terrain, Perfected Person creating advantageous locations for spellcasting battles.
Dong Zhongshu made excellent choices in these two techniques. He even said that as long as Zhang Xuezhou practiced them patiently and diligently, he would eventually have a place in the world. This was indeed true.
"In the past, spells could only cover part of the tree stump with yellow sand, focusing on erosion in a specific area. But now, they can cover the entire stump, and the erosion speed has increased significantly, almost reaching the level of 'entering the inner chamber'!"
Zhang Xuezhou was very satisfied with the extraordinary effect brought by his first attempt at the Sand Entanglement Technique.
He was also very satisfied with the gains he made from immersing himself in the Mental Strengthening Chapter that night.
"Xuezhou..."
He only snapped out of his daze when Ren Anran sent him her somewhat helpless plea for help.
He rarely saw this attitude in Ren Anran. In Zhang Xuezhou's understanding, Ren Anran in his early years was like a hunter many times more powerful than him, who could manipulate his underdeveloped mind at will.
When they met again at the Canglan Academy, Ren Anran was still a cut above the rest.
Aside from the slightly childish act of rescuing Ren Anran, he had almost never seen panic or helplessness on Ren Anran's face, not even when they faced ferocious beasts.
"Emperor, Yu?"
"That bead is actually an object of Yu's faith!"
Only after Ren Anran guessed did Zhang Xuezhou realize why he and Ren Anran had obtained two religious items in the same shrine.
Yu left Huang, but Yu was always by Huang's side.
This might also be the source of Yu's confidence in promising to take Huang away.
Yu left a mark on Huang. As Huang continued to educate the Tuer people, Yu's mark grew stronger with the power of faith, and even retained a divine thought that has not been extinguished to this day.
"Huang said that Yu possessed divine qualities, belonging to an immortal and indestructible existence, and he truly achieved that!"
Yu's immortality is wonderful and impressive, but Yu shouldn't exist within Ren Anran, and the fact that the Emperor saw through it even sparked a conflict.
Looking at Ren Anran, Zhang Xuezhou felt that Ren Anran was almost repeating their path.
Unlike Zhang Xuezhou Zhang Xuezhou his group, who were attacked by Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, Ren Anran was attacked by the lingering resentment of a local native great cultivator.
Zhang Xuezhou lacked the ability to expel his opponent, and he was currently struggling to move forward, making it difficult to predict whether he would win or lose in the future.
"Improve yourself while they are still weak, until you possess the strength of that emperor!"
Everything Zhang Xuezhou did was based on the Emperor's example.
The emperors who can contend with the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon possess extraordinary strength. If they possess the same strength as the emperors, they will most likely be able to protect themselves.
"Unnecessary..."
Zhang Xuezhou originally wanted to persuade Ren Anran that she didn't need to worry about the Emperor, since the Emperor was living well in another world, and Zhang Xuezhou also knew the Emperor.
However, Zhang Xuezhou was equally unsure whether the Emperor would choose to have another physical body to descend into this world if given the opportunity.
He had never considered this possibility before, until Ren Anran reminded him of the "feather," at which point Zhang Xuezhou belatedly realized it.
"It's not wrong to be cautious!"
He eventually changed his mind and advised Ren Anran not to panic, but to make use of all the conveniences brought by the Emperor and Yu to improve himself until he was strong enough to suppress others.
"That emperor must have left a hidden spellcasting coordinate mark on you for a slow and long-term effect, while Yu only came into contact with your body for a short time through an object of faith. It did not completely merge with your body. Removing it is not as difficult as you imagine. You can definitely succeed," Zhang Xuezhou said.
And what about you?
After being comforted and calming down, Ren Anran couldn't help but ask about Zhang Xuezhou's situation.
"My condition is something I was born with; it has grown up with me. Whatever I can do, it can do too, and it may even be more powerful," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"Then how do you plan to shake them off?" Ren Anran asked.
"We will use every powerful method possible until he is defeated," Zhang Xuezhou said.
Zhang Xuezhou had long since overcome the period of confusion when facing problems, and had also long ago determined his path to survival.
As long as he fought for it, Zhang Xuezhou would not regret it even if he failed.
Moreover, Zhang Xuezhou possesses his biggest trump card.
He might not be able to defeat the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, but he could kill himself beforehand.
If he were to face inevitable defeat one day, he would not give the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon the chance to take over his body.
