When a person is in a high-ranking position, their words carry the law.

Chapter 61 Automatic Reaction Air Armor
After a short while, the crimson color on Bai Ze's face and body slowly faded, and the heat gradually dissipated as well.

He opened his mouth and inhaled, a gentle breeze came, and wisps of vital energy entered his body, replenishing the energy he had consumed.

Then, when I opened my eyes, I saw two old men with wide-eyed stares.

Xia Xingde looked Bai Ze up and down, then suddenly snapped his fingers and said, "Take this."

A wisp of wind shot out, aiming straight for Bai Ze's shoulder.

Bai Ze subconsciously activated the Phase Shift Protective Divine Skill. As his internal energy circulated, he felt something touch his shoulder, followed by a heat.

Then, it was gone.

The kinetic energy brought by that wisp of wind was canceled out, and some of the mechanical energy was converted into heat energy and dissipated.

"watch out."

Xia Xingde flicked his fingers repeatedly, unleashing bursts of wind that struck various parts of Bai Ze's upper body, leaving only marks on Bai Ze's coat, while Bai Ze himself remained unmoved.

"He has truly mastered the basics and quickly achieved proficiency; he is truly a monstrous talent."

Xia Xingde clicked his tongue in amazement, then his expression turned serious. He said, "Little fellow, your name is Bai Ze, right? I am Xia Xingde, an honorary professor at Yujing Martial Arts University, a recipient of the Federal Level 3 Martial Arts Research Award, a Federal Level 2 Biologist, and a specially appointed pharmacist at Taiqing Pharmaceutical..."

"Alright, there's no room for so many people here," the old principal said, pulling Xia Xingde aside. "The old man has probably gone mad, talking nonsense."

The old man is so old and still wants to take in a godson. Isn't he afraid of getting stabbed by a halberd one day?

With a backhand strike, Bai Ze pressed down on Xia Xingde's shoulder, channeling his inner energy to firmly subdue him. At the same time, the old principal looked at Bai Ze and said with a smile, "These next few days, you can stay here with Old Man Xia and diligently cultivate the 'Phase Transfer Body Protection Divine Art.' If you need anything, just let me know. Don't try to save the old man money. By the way, Old Man Xia, do you have any guest rooms?"

Xia Xingde opened his mouth as if to speak, still thinking of having Bai Ze become his godfather, but after seeing the old principal's dangerous look, he wisely chose to put the idea aside for the time being.

"Yes, and it was cleaned just a few days ago, so you can move in right away," Xia Xingde said listlessly.

As he spoke, he led Bai Ze to see the guest rooms, while the old headmaster pressed his shoulders...

After Bai Ze entered the guest room, the old principal grabbed Xia Xingde by the shoulder and left, saying he was going to visit an old friend.

Bai Ze was left alone in the newly arrived guest room, somewhat speechless.

"I never intended to be an adopted son," Bai Ze said, shaking his head helplessly.

He appeared to be completely focused on cultivating the Phase Shift Protective Divine Skill, but in reality, he relied entirely on the power of his words. Wherever he recited the content, his internal energy circulated there, and then, relying on his body's memory, he memorized the entire circulation route and quickly mastered it.

This kind of cultivation method, which requires no accumulation, is no challenge for Bai Ze.

Therefore, Bai Ze also heard Xia Xingde's request to adopt him as his godson.

However, he was not tempted.

It's not that I'm shameless, it's just that I feel Xia Xingde values ​​me only because I'm valuable enough, and Xia Xingde seems to be acting on impulse, so I'd better pretend I didn't hear it.

In addition, Bai Ze didn't want to suddenly have another family member.

With a thought flashing through his mind, Bai Ze shook his head slightly, then casually put his backpack on the ground, took off his shoes, and sat down on the bed to meditate.

Bai Ze didn't actually need to specifically cultivate the Phase Shift Protective Divine Skill. As long as his skill level reached a certain point, he would naturally be able to unleash even greater power.

What Bai Ze needs to do most now is to advance his power to the point of perfect dantian as soon as possible.

The "Eating Wind and Drinking Dew Technique" allows one to absorb vital energy and transform it into internal energy, giving it a head start over other martial artists. Even with abundant resources, other martial artists can only increase their power by digesting external substances, while Bai Ze directly refines vital energy.

This is an ability possessed only by four-star martial artists, and the hallmark of a four-star martial artist is the ability to absorb vital energy, condense inner energy into true energy, and transform it into true qi.

True Qi is far more refined and condensed than Internal Qi, so it can be released from the body at will and transformed into various techniques. Internal Qi, on the other hand, can be released from the body, but it will quickly dissipate. It lacks refinement and purity, and at most it can only exert its power within a small area. Once the distance increases, it can only produce a gust of wind at most.

In other words, as long as the internal energy is pure and condensed enough, even if one has not reached the fourth star level, the internal energy can still exert its effects outside the body.

Bai Ze's internal energy may possess that level of purity and refinement ahead of time.

The energy within his body was less like internal energy and more like a low-grade version of true energy. Although it was inferior to that of a four-star martial artist, it could be said to have exceeded the scope of internal energy and could not be called "internal" at all.

This is the power of the "Eating Wind and Drinking Dew Skill"; while other martial artists are still practicing martial arts, Bai Ze seems to be cultivating immortality.

"besides--"

Bai Ze said in a low voice, "Gather the vital energy."

As his mental energy was depleted, the surrounding vital energy rapidly converged towards Bai Ze, where he absorbed it through his internal energy.

A gentle breeze swept through the unopened guest room, carrying a delicate fragrance that formed an invisible vortex around Bai Ze.

······
······
In the time that followed, Bai Ze focused wholeheartedly on cultivating the "Wind and Dew Diet Technique." Occasionally, he would practice the Phase Shift Protective Divine Skill in the courtyard, just to make a show of it, so as not to suddenly display his superb skills one day and frighten the two old men.

Time passed slowly, and November 29th arrived.

That evening, Bai Ze finished his daily practice and slowly opened his eyes.

Thanks to the blessing of the law, Bai Ze could cultivate even while sleeping, absorbing vital energy day and night. At this moment, the energy in his lower dantian was complete, with streams of pure spiritual energy circulating endlessly and even beginning to overflow, nourishing his body.

"Phase Shift Protective Divine Skill"

Bai Ze murmured, and the pure spiritual energy within his body emerged from the major acupoints in his upper body, suddenly adding a layer of black and white color to his body.

This is the air armor formed by the simulated phase-transfer armor. Bai Ze's internal energy is now able to cover part of his body with this air armor.

The internal energy was rapidly depleted with the appearance of the Qi Armor, at a speed that left Bai Ze somewhat dumbfounded.

Ten seconds, just ten seconds, and it's enough to deplete Bai Ze's power. Even absorbing his own energy through internal cultivation wouldn't be enough to replenish it.

As for "Qi Guan Chang Hong", Bai Ze can now maintain it for several minutes.

'Well, another energy-intensive problem.' Bai Ze had a bit of a headache.

If the Phase Shift Protective Divine Skill is activated to its maximum, it will become ineffective in ten seconds. However, if it is not activated, one may be hit by a sudden attack.

To maintain its effectiveness for an extended period, one must either continue to increase their skill level or use it whenever needed, opening the armor when attacked and deactivating it when not under attack.

However, achieving this is incredibly difficult.

Either one needs extremely high insight and martial arts skills to see every detail clearly in the midst of a fierce battle and respond in time, or—

It means that words become law.

"Automatic response".

Bai Ze whispered something, then took the Xiaolian Sword from the wooden box beside the bed, slowly placed the blade against the back of his hand, and gradually applied force.

A layer of black and white appears on the back of the hand, then the black and white vibrates, revealing a dazzling array of colors.

"It works." Bai Ze grinned broadly.
