Zhutian: From Douluo, the illusion becomes real

Chapter 721 720. The Sword Intent of Royal Power!

This sword strike came too suddenly.

That's too direct.

Although it was Wang Quan Ba ​​Ye who was cleaved away, it wasn't just Wang Quan Ba ​​Ye. Dongfang Huaizhu, Dongfang Qinlan, Ximen Chuisha, Chi Huo, Shi Tang, and even the Li Quzhuo brothers were all shocked and couldn't believe their eyes when they saw this scene. Some of those who knew Wang Quan Ba ​​Ye were so frightened that they were out of their wits. All their distracting thoughts seemed to have been cleaved away by this sword. Their heads were spinning, and they didn't know what to say.

This includes Wang Quanbaye himself.

My head is buzzing right now.

Looking at the broken sword in his hand.

Then look at the sword wound on his chest, which was just enough to stop the attack.

It penetrates clothing but does not harm the skin.

I felt the messy drizzle falling on my body.

He suddenly fell silent.

To be fair, he did underestimate his opponent. Although the power of that sword strike was terrifying, if he had chosen to go all out and deal with it cautiously from the beginning, he wouldn't have been unable to withstand it. In other words, if it were him, he could have unleashed a sword strike with the same power.

But no matter what, underestimating the opponent is still underestimating the opponent.

It's his own problem.

It has nothing to do with the opponent.

After all, the other side hadn't ordered him to underestimate them.

It was his own fault for not properly assessing the opponent's strength.

So, I suffered a loss.

Although it was a bit embarrassing, it was a worthwhile loss.

At least he won't make the same mistake again.

However, Wang Quanbaye is also a human being, still a proud young man. A chance setback cannot extinguish his spirit; on the contrary, it will inspire his fighting spirit, just like now.

A dazzling golden sword light rose from the ground.

It was remarkably similar to the golden sword light that Ye Qingcang had just unleashed.

Or rather, the two are from the same source.

This is also the reason why Wang Quanba chose to take action against Ye Qingcang once again.

It spans a hundred meters to reach the destination.

His tone became much more solemn and serious.

He practically demanded, "Who are you, and why do you know my clan's secret techniques?"

A family or clan.

Therefore, using "my ethnicity" to describe it is perfectly fine.

This single sentence caused a huge uproar in the small restaurant, making everyone who knew the inside story instinctively hold their breath.

After all, secret techniques are extraordinary.

The main reason why the Qi Dao Alliance is dominated by aristocratic families rather than independent cultivators is that aristocratic families have achieved a monopoly on knowledge.

To put it bluntly, the cultivation techniques that rogue cultivators can learn are nothing more than the most basic Qi-guiding technique and some talismanic arts. They can barely throw a fireball or summon lightning, and that's about it. Their maximum level is only at the "building-destroying" level, meaning they can destroy a building with all their might. Of course, the standard for this building is an ordinary residential building. If it's a skyscraper with an enormous area, that's another story. In short, they are extraordinary, but not completely extraordinary. Facing a single soldier carrying a thermobaric bomb, they could still perish together.

Of course, this applies when dealing with a group of ordinary people.

Or some trained militia.

These rogue cultivators can still be easily crushed.

Within the context of the Fox Spirit Matchmaker universe, a typical rogue Taoist priest is enough to suppress a village, and a normal village usually has more than five hundred people, with some larger villages having over a thousand. But let's assume an average of five hundred people.

However, one should not speak too definitively.

There are exceptions to everything.

There are also some exceptionally talented students who, relying on these most basic things, have forged new paths and even reached the pinnacle of humanity.

A prime example is hearing the Way.

One of the big shots during the reign of King Quan Wu Mu.

He called himself Lei Daoren.

Before founding the Wen family, he was a typical rogue cultivator. His superb thunder magic and the world-renowned Nine Heavens Universal Transformation Divine Thunder technique were derived from the relatively common thunder-summoning technique at that time. He essentially upgraded it by relying on his own comprehension.

There's also Zhang Feng.

This is commonly known as "wind fat".

The Wind Sword Guard during the time of Wang Quan Wu Mu.

His black sword technique was a unique skill he created himself.

It's the more extreme kind of swordsmanship that uses emotions.

In short, there is a possibility for independent cultivators to rise to prominence, but most independent cultivators do not meet this condition, because this condition depends on their comprehension.

Furthermore, after these rogue cultivators rise to prominence, they will transform from being exploited into exploiters themselves. They will marry and have children, leaving their bloodlines in this world. These bloodlines will form new families, or aristocratic families, and they will seal away the many unique skills they created.

Therefore, from this point of view, Wang Quan Shouzhuo and his father were really magnanimous to pass on something like the Wang Quan Sword Intent to an outsider like Wang Quan Fei Lao, even though Wang Quan Fei Lao had changed his surname to Wang Quan, the blood flowing in his veins had nothing to do with the Wang Quan family.

Besides.

There are also some unique skills that cannot be taught.

Because these unique skills often require specific conditions to be met before they can be learned.

Like the Yang family's Heavenly Eye.

Like the pure Yang Flame of the Eastern Clan.

Without these basic conditions, it's impossible to even begin to learn these unique skills. No matter how high one's comprehension is, it's useless. Perhaps one can modify the original level, remove certain objective requirements, and upgrade it into a new unique skill. But it's obviously unrealistic to want to cultivate the original, authentic unique skills. This inability to teach them is understandable.

Take, for example, the fire control technique of Shenhuo Mountain Villa.

After being revised by Dongfang Guyue.

Its power is indeed much stronger than the original fire control technique.

After all, fire control is not a very advanced Taoist technique. It is similar to lightning-summoning techniques and can be learned by most rogue cultivators. Perhaps only some novice Taoists who have just joined the Qi Alliance cannot learn it because they do not have the merit to slay demons and monsters. To defeat or kill monsters, they rely more on talismans.

Similar to Tu Shan Honghong and Tu Shan Rongrong, they were captured by the young Taoist priest and the old Taoist priest, and the young Taoist priest was mistakenly killed. The whole process involved the use of talismans, which also means that the old Taoist priest was not skilled enough. He had magical power, but he did not have any solid magic.

However, most independent cultivators develop by hoarding resources.

Because merit can be exchanged for many things.

The most direct form of wealth is gold and silver.

These things, which are of great value to ordinary people, are insignificant to extraordinary individuals. For those with superpowers, if they lack something, they can simply seize it by force. If my neighbor hoards grain, I hoard guns; my neighbor's house is my granary.

Therefore, for those independent cultivators who can't control their hands...

Unless there is a windfall profit to be made.

For example, you might happen to capture a demon king. Otherwise, the merit points you've just earned will be spent in small amounts.

After all, exorcising demons also requires costs.

Imagine a novice Taoist priest, a wandering cultivator, embarking on a demon-slaying mission. He prepares ten talismans through basic daily tasks, each worth one merit point. Regardless of how many talismans he uses, the reward must be less than the demon's bounty to earn a profit. If a minor demon has a five-point bounty, and the novice priest uses five talismans in the process, it seems like he's neither gaining nor losing. However, he's actually losing out. The food consumed on the journey and his own magical power are considered expenses. Theoretically, he only breaks even if he earns six merit points. Whether he actually loses or not depends on his personal expenses along the way. If he completes the mission in a week, consuming little food, the extra merit points might barely be a profit. But if he's gone for three months, even if he returns after completing the mission, the extra merit points might not even cover his travel expenses, essentially resulting in a loss.

In short, low-level Taoist techniques like fire control are...

For those scions of prominent families.

Almost everyone has a copy; it's practically a beginner's bonus.

For example, if you join the Divine Volcano Manor, you can receive a book on fire control; if you join the Wen family, you can receive a book on lightning attraction; if you join the Wang Quan family or the Zhang family, you can learn one of the basic sword techniques for free; and if you join the Li family, you will be taught metallurgy.

This is the advantage of aristocratic families.

Even if I can't reach Jin Renfeng's position.

They are also inferior to the direct descendants of powerful families like Wang Quanba.

It can also leave independent cultivators far behind in the initial stage.

The problem is that although the fire control technique of Shenhuo Mountain Villa has improved significantly after the revision, even if Jin Renfeng, who is most proficient in this technique, were to use it, he could only reach the level of Chi Huo. He could not suppress Chi Huo. What makes Jin Renfeng stronger than Chi Huo is that he can borrow fire from Dongfang Guyue, Dongfang Huaizhu, and Dongfang Qinlan, that is, control a limited amount of pure Yang Flame in battle. When the magic power and realm are similar, the quality of the flame can directly determine the outcome. If an ordinary fire cultivator can release a flame with a temperature of 500 degrees Celsius, while a pure Yang Flame can release a flame with a temperature of 5,000 degrees Celsius, the power will naturally be different. This is the point that widens the gap.

Therefore, it's perfectly fine to learn some techniques.

If Ye Qingcang needs it.

Dongfang Huaizhu can now teach Ye Qingcang the revised fire control technique.

Wang Quan Ba ​​Ye also dared to teach Ye Qingcang the basic sword techniques of the Wang Quan family.

However, some techniques won't work.

Like the sword Ye Qingcang is holding right now.

The golden luster blended with the ordinary longsword.

It forms a translucent crystal texture.

Although Wang Quan Baye had never seen this usage before, he was certain of the power contained in those golden rays. After all, the Wang Quan family was not without people who could use the Wang Quan Sword Intent, but few. This was because Wang Quan Shouzhuo's physical condition determined that he could not use this life-threatening technique, meaning he did not meet the criteria for release. However, Wang Quan Fei Lao could. In the years when Wang Quan Shouzhuo rarely made a move, Wang Quan Fei Lao relied on the Wang Quan Sword Intent to uphold the reputation of the Wang Quan family and even made a name for himself as Mr. Fei in the outside world. He was a top expert in the Dao Alliance.

If we arrange the experts that the One Qi Alliance currently possesses from top to bottom.

Wang Quan Shouzhuo and Dongfang Guyue are definitely tied for first place.

It can be called the pinnacle in terms of sequence.

Those skilled in attack, such as Wang Quanfei, Yang Yifang, the head of the Zhang family, and the head of the Wen family, are considered top-tier in the hierarchy, roughly equivalent to a Great Demon King.

Xiao Wancheng, the head of the Li family, the head of the Qing family, the head of the Ji family, and the four swordsmen of the Wang Quan family, including the Wind, Rain, Thunder and Lightning, are generally more support-oriented. Their individual combat abilities are average, and they don't have any particularly powerful special skills. They can be considered first-rate, roughly equivalent to the demon kings among the demon race.

Wang Quanba and others were also in this stage.

However, the potential for explosive growth in the pursuit of imperial power and hegemony is relatively high.

He can exchange blows with Wang Quanfei in a short time.

If we also include other members of the masked group.

He could even rival top masters like Dongfang Guyue, Huandu Qingtian, and the weakened Fan Yunfei, who didn't rely on burst damage but focused on sustained output, or even the Demon Emperor, for a short period of time.

However, that would be a bit too unethical.

The masked group consists of ten people.

Ten against one.

Whether we win or lose, it doesn't matter.

It's really not very convincing.

It doesn't prove anything.

Therefore, the advantage of the Masked Group lies in the fact that all members are young and have extremely high standards. All members are steadily comparable to the Demon Kings, such as Wang Quan Ba ​​Ye, Yang Yi Tan, and Zhang Zheng. They have even reached the level of a Great Demon King in a certain aspect. As long as their thinking is sound and they do not use their weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths, there will be no problems.

It is worth mentioning that Jin Renfeng is also in this category.

However, considering his advanced age...

Although he belongs to the same generation as Wang Quanba and others, this generation refers to anyone under ten years old. In reality, a difference of five or six years makes a big difference. For example, Wang Quanba is currently seventeen or eighteen years old. If we add those five years, assuming we calculate Jin Renfeng's age, he would be around twenty-two. Although he is not old, compared to Wang Quanba, who can be described as a teenager, Jin Renfeng can only be described as a young man. He entered the golden age of men before Wang Quanba, which is between twenty and forty years old. Both his energy and physique are at their peak during this stage before he begins to decline.

Further back were Chi Huo and the others.

Second-rate.

Li Muchen is also in this sequence.

Xiao Tianhao is the same.

Dongfang Qinlan can be roughly included as well.

The main problem was that they were younger than me.

Otherwise, if she were three or four years older and the same age as Dongfang Huaizhu, Dongfang Qinlan could also be among the top-tier group.

Thirteen or fourteen years old is still too young.

Of course, the development time for girls differs from that for boys.

It cannot be generalized.

Just like the bamboo in the East right now.

Sixteen or seventeen years old.

She looks like she's eighteen or nineteen.

Standing tall and graceful.

Perhaps because of the magical power within him, which allows him to refine essence into qi and accelerate his metabolism and growth, Wang Quanbaye is the same. His life force is only at the age of seventeen or eighteen, but he looks like a young man of about twenty. It is estimated that he will stop changing when his appearance reaches his prime and achieve a certain effect of preserving his youth, but it will only last for a few decades before he dies of old age.

Compared to the titled Douluo in the Douluo Galaxy.

It doesn't even need to be compared to the top-tier Limit Douluo.

Let's only talk about Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.

Their lifespan can reach three hundred years.

This is the difference between extraordinary systems.

Those with greater destructive power may have a shorter lifespan.

Those with long lifespans may not be very lethal.

Anyway, nothing in this world is perfect.

But there are always people who strive to develop in this direction.

For example, Ye Qingcang.

Therefore, when faced with Wang Quan Ba ​​Ye's questioning, Ye Qingcang remained calm. Holding the precious sword in his hand—a rare artifact resulting from the fusion of a longsword and Wang Quan's sword intent, a technique that Wang Quan Ba ​​Ye desperately tried to develop in the later part of the original story—he calmly said, "Who I am is unimportant. You only need to know that the Wang Quan sword intent I possess is something I comprehended on my own. This matter has nothing to do with you. If you insist on interfering, then I will have no choice but to defeat you first before dealing with this matter!"
