Turning Breath into a Sword

"It's actually possible to turn your breath into a sword!"

Zhang Xuezhou and Luo Burang communicated online, and each of them also had their own rehearsals.

Luo spat out a breath, and the glass used for testing was shattered.

Zhang Weimeng, who secluded himself to write books for entertainment, lived in his own ideal world. It was extremely rare for him to be invited to watch the private live broadcast of the two discussing philosophy.

He felt that his knowledge and imagination were not keeping up with the development of reality. In the martial arts novels he had envisioned, picking flowers and flying leaves and spitting out date pits could hurt people, but Luo Burang and others had already reached the stage of inhaling and exhaling air to hurt people.

"Zhou, what was the situation like in your demonstration?"

On the other end of the live stream, Luo Burang was very interested in the results of Zhang Xuezhou's demonstration. After all, Luo Burang was only a theoretical Sequence Holder, while Zhang Xuezhou was a practical practitioner, and the level they presented was bound to be different.

I hit myself!

Zhang Xuezhou responded with a muffled groan.

He touched his forehead; a hard, swollen bump had formed in the center, and fresh blood was seeping out.

Zhang Xuezhou could feel the Third Eye in the center of his forehead growing and taking shape. Exhaling to form a sword was not difficult for him. This was an advanced method of the Innate Qi Technique, which used the illusory to replace the real, making it difficult to defend against. However, its power was far inferior to the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife.

If you want to push it forward, then the Law Power will penetrate and pierce through; a single finger pointing out will unleash the purest destructive force.

The Haotian Emperor and the Yuanshi Celestial Venerable possess similar striking methods, but they cannot detach from the physical body like flying knives to unleash their power; they can only strike through contact and collision.

A further step involves striking by activating the Heavenly Eye, a method employed by figures like Erlang True Lord and Buddha Son Shigong.

These methods progress in layers, and each has its own level of depth and reach.

Using a throwing knife to kill a Dao Lord who has reached the pinnacle of mastery is the ultimate expression of the most basic striking method. A single Incantation Technique throwing knife is completely unreasonable and can achieve the goal of overcoming the strong with the weak.

The methods of cultivators like the Haotian Emperor are more advanced, but their development has not yet reached its peak. They are still unable to separate their Law Power from their bodies to attack, and can only achieve their strikes through close physical contact. In fact, their performance is not as good as that of Dao Lords who have reached the pinnacle.

While Erlang True Lord, Buddha Son Shigong, and others possessed the highest level of Heavenly Eye, their development level was the lowest, and their Heavenly Eye Divine Ability powers were limited, only suitable for use in certain situations.

Zhang Xuezhou is in a similar situation. He has directly activated his Heavenly Eye and is also creating a third Divine Ability. However, before the power can be released, the shockwave has hit him instead.

But Zhang Xuezhou was not surprised but pleased. His physical strength, which had reached the level of a saint, was extremely high. The fact that the impact could cause Zhang Xuezhou's forehead to bleed and his head to spin proved the merit of this method of attack.

"I'm going to practice some more in Sinkhole No. 2!"

Zhang Xuezhou touched the 'Heavenly Eye' on his forehead. If he continued to push it, he might be able to refine this Heavenly Eye into a physical form.

This doesn't mean Zhang Xuezhou is particularly capable, but rather that his spiritual power has a unique advantage in refining the Heavenly Eye, allowing him to achieve in a short time what it might take people like Buddha Son Shigong to accomplish in ten or even several decades.

The Innate Qi Technique is indeed an extremely suitable method for mental attacks, far more suitable for the release of mental energy than Gene Fighting Technique fighting techniques such as the Dragon Elephant Combat Technique, which rely on Gene Power.

Of course, reaching the top level is very difficult.

This requires both strong mental fortitude and a robust physique to support the third eye and withstand the recoil.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that this was somewhat like the recoil force of a firearm, which would also cause him to bear the recoil force when injuring an opponent.

Compared to the power, this recoil force is undoubtedly worth bearing, especially since Zhang Xuezhou's body can withstand it.

He doesn't rule out the possibility that future research will have fewer side effects, but he can endure this rigorous practice in the present.

"You're actually going to practice some more? I'm really looking forward to seeing the results!"

Luo refused to take off his medical protective suit; he was clearly very interested in Zhang Xuezhou's learning outcomes.

His ability to quickly grasp the essence of the Heavenly Eye is inseparable from his research on it.

The pairing with Zhang Xuezhou was undoubtedly excellent; the two cooperated effectively in a short period of time and achieved the desired results.

As Luo Burang exhaled again at the test glass and shattered it, he felt a sense of satisfaction, but then his head began to feel a little dizzy.

The conversion of spiritual power into striking power is extremely costly; if pushed to its limit, it might only grant the ability to deliver a single blow.

He clutched his head, and only after his team members quickly helped him up did Luo Burang grant him the special privilege of recuperation at X432 Medical Center.

"I wonder if Xuezhou will be able to cultivate properly!"

Luo Burang had been full of confidence in Zhang Xuezhou, but when he almost fell into a coma after his second attack, he realized that this kind of cultivation was extremely difficult to master quickly. Trying it would leave one dizzy and disoriented, making it difficult to repeat.

Only when the practice is carried out properly in one go can it be quickly promoted to take shape in a short period of time.

"Oh dear, this method probably still has some problems. I've only attempted to activate my Heavenly Eye ten times, and my head is a little foggy!"

Luo Burang's worries were accurate. Even after Zhang Xuezhou returned to the Sinkhole No. 2 and recovered with the help of Spiritual Qi, he found that his head was really foggy after repeated attempts. He even saw a blue and white light spot in his eyes. Ren Anran and the others sometimes appeared as two, and sometimes as three, making it difficult for him to distinguish them clearly.

"Your forehead is cracked, it looks like you have an extra eye that lacks the whites and blacks of the eye," Ren Anran reminded her.

"What kind of eye lacks both white and black?"

Zhang Xuezhou touched his forehead and then took Ren Anran's dressing mirror.

In the mirror, a flesh-colored vertical eye appears. This 'third eye' will appear as long as Zhang Xuezhou relaxes his forehead; if his expression is normal, the vertical eye will be concealed.

Just like the Buddha Son Shigong had felt, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the vertical eye was burning hot, and it was very likely that it was affecting his brain nerves, which was why he was feeling dizzy and even affecting his normal vision.

He reached out and touched it, closing the vertical eye. The strange phenomena he had seen vanished instantly, leaving him with only a slight dizziness and no other negative effects.

"I remember when Xuezhou fought Huang, blood kept flowing from the center of his forehead," Zhang Manqian, who was practicing the Wind Avoidance Instruction and covered in silver needles, said. "This spot is likely a crucial node or entry point for spiritual power, extremely sensitive to the individual. Strikes from this spot might have a surprising effect on the opponent!"

"That's possible!"

Zhang Xuezhou recalled how he almost had a splitting wound in the center of his forehead during his fight with Huang, and he couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Currently, all spiritual power is believed to exist in the brain, without an entrance or exit, and without any intermediate organs, yet everyone believes it exists in the mind.

The third eye may be related to the Divine Sense. The corresponding attack method would necessarily be to invade the opponent's third eye, thereby impacting and damaging the opponent's brain, rather than causing physical destruction.

Spiritual Gene Fighting Technique techniques such as the Dragon Elephant Combat Technique are ineffective against those at the Seventh Sequence because they are difficult to break through the force layer. If one could abandon all-around suppression and choose to attack the Heavenly Eye area from a surface to a point, it might be effective at the Seventh Sequence level.

Zhang Xuezhou nodded thoughtfully.

He touched his forehead, feeling the stirrings of the Innate Qi Technique once again.

This technique was destined to be inconvenient to test, and Zhang Xuezhou had no way of using humans for testing.

But it's perfectly normal for him to take the initiative to use such methods.

If he were to fight Demon Lord Tiger Feather, he would have to try the Innate Qi Technique to see if it could effectively invade Demon Lord Tiger Feather's brain and completely defeat him.
