Practicing Techniques

Just like Divine Lord Zhenyuan's Fire Technique that turned a roasted rabbit into charcoal, after Zhang Xuezhou entered the seventh chapter of his Mental Strengthening Chapter, his Technique Method power was continuously strengthened, but he also had the problem of being unable to control himself after being strengthened.

Until he has reached a level of mastery or complete control, Zhang Xuezhou finds it difficult to fully control his own Technique Method.

His Technique Method is powerful but difficult to weaken. For example, a single Technique Method from the Supreme Purity True Technique can completely heal an injury, but it is difficult to heal only half of it.

For example, Zhang Xuezhou has noticed that he is faster and can fly for longer periods of time these past two days when he uses the Cloud Leap Technique to travel. However, it is difficult for him to slow down, as he cannot perform the Cloud Leap Technique in front of the Buddha Son Shigong as he did before.

The application of spiritual power to other Technique Method is largely the same.

Like a rising tide lifting all boats, this level of spiritual power elevated his foundation in spellcasting, allowing him to perform well even when he was trying to hide his true abilities.

Of course, if Zhang Xuezhou didn't hold back, his Technique Method abilities would be quite considerable.

Zhang Xuezhou took to the air in search of landmarks, but all he saw was desolate and barren, with mountains and rivers devoid of human presence. Finding landmarks in such an area was undoubtedly a difficult task.

But Zhang Xuezhou unexpectedly saw a three-headed rabbit demon.

Perhaps due to the influence of this secret place, this area has given rise to several demonic creatures, some even of the same type.

Rabbits are gentle and cute, but rabbit demons are definitely not benevolent creatures.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that the rabbit demon resembled a kangaroo, or even a kangaroo with extremely well-developed muscles and a mouthful of sharp teeth. The fur covering its body was extremely thick, and an ordinary person would probably hardly feel any pain if punched by it.

When Zhang Xuezhou noticed the rabbit demons, the three rabbit demons were gnawing on trees with their teeth, turning the trees into sharp, javelin-like weapons.

He watched the commotion from the air for a while, and saw the three-headed rabbit demon grab its weapon, let out a series of roars, and then hopped and leaped towards the Longevity Fruit Tree.

"No wonder Divine Lord Zhenyuan is worried about the Longevity Fruit Tree!"

The rabbit demons were furious with the Longevity Fruit Tree, perhaps because it had usurped the original ancient tree's place.

Zhang Xuezhou initially intended to use force to suppress and subdue the three muscular rabbit demons, but after a change of heart, he became quite interested and began to cast Technique Method.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't have many proactive attack Technique Method, only involving the Yellow Sand Entanglement Technique and Sand Dissolving Technique improved by Dong Zhongshu. Technique Method like the Supreme Purity True Technique and the Fossil Technique could only be considered proactive Technique Method, not attack Technique Method.

He's been running for so many years, but he doesn't really have many techniques for direct combat.

Of course, there are many cultivators like Zhang Xuezhou. For example, Prefect Wen Weng, who is at the Solitary Sole Self Realm, also has very limited Technique Method abilities.

The higher a cultivator progresses, the more they rely on a single, effective technique, placing great emphasis on Divine Ability abilities and ultimately using only one or two primary Technique Method.

Zhang Xuezhou's main Technique Method is deterrence, and besides deterrence, he feels it's good to practice a few more techniques so that he won't be without options when deterrence fails.

Zhang Xuezhou undoubtedly used the three rabbit demons as practice targets.

After nearly a minute of chanting, a sand-transforming spell was cast, and a patch of yellow sand, almost half a zhang in length and width, appeared in front of Zhang Xuezhou.

This is much larger than the sandpit he used to be able to transform into, which was only the size of a head.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!"

The rabbit demons' urgent cries came from the mountainside, accompanied by the increasingly close sounds of hopping and stomping.

These rabbit demons didn't waste any words with Zhang Xuezhou. They simply peeked out and saw Zhang Xuezhou under the Longevity Fruit Tree, and immediately raised their wooden spears and hurled them at Zhang Xuezhou from a distance.

"Good timing!"

If the blades were close at hand, whether Zhang Xuezhou could dodge them or not is another matter. However, it would be difficult to hit Zhang Xuezhou from dozens of meters away by throwing them, especially since these wooden spears were almost as thick as bowls, and the blows would be heavy and slow.

He shouted, his body only shifting slightly to the left; the whistling sound of the wooden spear reached his ears two seconds later.

At the same time, Zhang Xuezhou used his pre-prepared technique of being entangled in yellow sand to draw out the sand.

The yellow sand in front of him rose up, turning into a vast expanse of sand that even completely obscured Zhang Xuezhou.

The Sandstorm Spell cannot be both offensive and defensive, but when cast in the corresponding area, it can conceal the body, making it difficult for others to find the true form amidst the swirling sand.

When the yellow sand drawn by Zhang Xuezhou's Technique Method fell with a crackling sound onto the three rabbit demons, these blinding substances caused them to lose their sense of direction.

This is getting interesting!

Zhang Xuezhou's best achievement in using the Yellow Sand Entanglement Technique was influencing Zhang Qiaoen, making it difficult for her to distinguish between reality and illusion during combat, thus leading to her death.

This misjudgment by Zhang Qiaoen was caused by a combination of Ren Yisheng's suppression and intimidation tactics.

If Zhang Xuezhou were to cast the spell alone, he would hardly achieve such a feat, and might even be killed by Zhang Qiaoen with a single strike.

Furthermore, the Sand Entanglement Technique has a long casting time and consumes a considerable amount of energy, making it extremely difficult for Zhang Xuezhou to master this Technique Method.

Having reached the Divine Ability Realm, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the energy expenditure from casting spells was now bearable. With the addition of his further enhanced mental power, the power of his spells was amplified, and the yellow sand also had the effect of protecting himself and influencing others. This allowed Zhang Xuezhou to adjust his rhythm in battle, no longer being able to cast spells only once as before.

"Entangle!"

Zhang Xuezhou was focused on practicing his skills. His fingers kept pulling and twisting, and the yellow sand that had been covering the rabbit demons' eyes fell away unnoticed, while also eroding the simple wooden weapons in the rabbit demons' hands.

The sound of locusts gnawing at the ground rang out continuously, and Zhang Xuezhou saw the wooden spear, as thick as a bowl, being rapidly eroded by the yellow sand and turned into gravel.

When targeting inanimate objects lacking protection, this rate of erosion is no less than that of the fossilization techniques Zhang Xuezhou once used.

The rabbit demons in the yellow sand roared, but because their eyes were covered in sand, they could only keep rubbing them.

"Lacking systematic training, they can only resort to reckless, brute-force fighting!"

Rabbit demons can use rudimentary weapons, and when fighting, they focus on the strength of their demonic bodies and their jumping ability, relying more on quickly approaching their prey to tear their opponents apart.

Perhaps because they had previously encountered Divine Lord Zhenyuan and suffered greatly even before getting close, these rabbit demons decided to use wooden spears for long-range attacks.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xuezhou was also a long-range spellcaster, and these rabbit demons suffered again.

Compared to Divine Lord Zhenyuan's methods, Zhang Xuezhou's spells are far more dangerous.

Countless fine sand particles began to seep into the rabbit demons' nostrils, ears, eyes, and mouths, causing them excruciating pain. Even though the Demon Power on their bodies reappeared again and again, constantly resisting the erosion of the Technique Method, the rabbit demons trapped in the Sand Entanglement Spell could hardly escape.

"Deprived of sight, hearing, smell, and taste; unable to see, unable to hear, unable to breathe normally, unable to take medicine or fight back; once afflicted, it is difficult to resist!"

No one had a living person for Zhang Xuezhou to slowly test his Technique Method, and casting spells in an empty area always made it difficult to bring a real feeling.

He then used the rabbit demons to torture them, finally managing to figure out his Technique Method clearly.

Divine Lord Zhenyuan spared the rabbit demons, and Zhang Xuezhou refrained from committing any evil deeds.

He sealed the three rabbit demons' four senses, nearly killing them, leaving only the final step of turning them into yellow sand before he withdrew the Technique Method.

Grandpa, spare me!

After nearly suffocating, a rabbit demon that appeared to be the leader regained its senses and, before it could even locate Zhang Xuezhou, was already frantically kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"He can actually speak Chinese?"

Zhang Xuezhou had previously thought these three rabbit demons were uncivilized mountain creatures, just baring their teeth and making random noises. He never imagined that these rabbit demons could speak, and could even speak Mandarin with a strong regional accent.
