In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Is Chapter 72 coming again?

A glance at the sky revealed that it was already late at night.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow." Turning his head to look at the dark tree hole, Zhu Wu immediately transformed into human form, flew out of the water, and landed on the shore to put on his clothes.

"Pah, aren't you ashamed!" Inside the tree hollow, Zi Ji spat lightly, turned her lying body to the side, and closed her eyes.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Zhu Wu, who had been lying in his treetop nest, got up early and began practicing the Vajra Skill. After finishing, he jumped down from the tree to make breakfast and called Zi Ji to come out and eat. The latter remained aloof and beautiful, unchanged.

Seeing such a beautiful woman every morning after waking up isn't bad at all, Zhu Wu sighed inwardly.

He smiled and nodded slightly as a greeting.

Zi Ji instantly recalled the scene of Zhu Wu probing her body with his Eye of Life, and felt extremely uncomfortable being stared at by him. She frowned and let out a soft groan, then slightly turned her face away. She moved unsteadily toward the campfire.

I wasn't looking around randomly. Zhu Wu's expression froze for a moment, then he raised an eyebrow.

Given Murasaki's temperament and personality, her response could be viewed from a different perspective.

This girl is starting to take it seriously.

"I learned a new trick last night. Let's eat first, and I'll demonstrate it for you later." Zhu Wu said, handing over a bowl.

When they got down to business, they offered her some food. Suddenly, Zi Ji felt a strange release of emotions. She nodded, silently accepted the food, and began to eat.

Before long, the two arrived at an open space.

Zhu Wu stood still, spread his hands, and his soul power underwent a change. The energy flowing through his meridians to his left palm transformed into extremely cold energy, while the energy flowing to his right palm transformed into extremely hot energy.

The next second, the two palms suddenly clashed together, then gently rotated clockwise. Two streams of energy, one blue and one red, instantly swirled and merged in the center of the palms, exhaling a cloud of white gas.

"Purple Princess, try using a linear skill on me."

"I just learned this move, so remember to control its power," he added.

"." Zi Ji knew perfectly well what the other party was worried about. She pursed her lips and waved her hand, creating a ripple in the water.

The next second, Zhu Wu's joined claws suddenly stretched forward, then opened, and spun violently, releasing white steam that transformed into a vortex as his hands rotated. With a "poof," the air wave collided with the vortex, instantly dissipating before vanishing.

"?" Zi Ji frowned slightly, her expression turning serious.

The next moment, Zhu Wu clasped his hands together again, then pulled them back to his waist, and laughed, "Zi Ji, feel what it's like to take this head-on."

As soon as he finished speaking, he slammed his claws out, and a burst of white gas shot out from the center with lightning speed.

Having anticipated this, Zi Ji raised her hand and struck with a palm.

With a loud "bang!", white steam exploded, and one arm was burning hot while the other was freezing cold.

"How did you do that?" Zi Ji looked at her palm in disbelief, then looked up at Zhu Wu.

This move was twice as powerful as the water wave she released before, resulting in a double rebound?

"Want to learn? Call me 'husband' and let me hear it." Full of self-satisfaction, Zhu Wu was clearly getting a little cocky and subconsciously started teasing him.

Zi Ji's forehead veins bulged, and she snorted coldly, "If you don't want to teach, then forget it."

"When things go in accordance with the natural order, Yin and Yang are mutually generating; when they go against the natural order, Yin and Yang are in chaos. I have named this move Yin-Yang Reversal and Heaven and Earth Reversal." Zhu Wu explained directly: "The key point is to use the two extremes of ice and fire to simulate the power of Yin and Yang. The effect is that the two completely different attributes can transform into each other between mutual generation and mutual restraint."

"Let's talk about mutual restraint first. The two extremes of ice and fire, one hot and one cold, transform into each other and generate a great power of attrition."

"This phenomenon can be seen in nature, and I call it thermal expansion and contraction. Simply put, it expands when heated and contracts when cooled. If a stone is first covered by ice and snow and then baked by the scorching sun, it will naturally crack and even turn into fragments after a long time and repeated cycles. This is the reason. Not to mention, the heat and cold themselves are inherently harmful."

"This is the power of nature, and the power of time. And what I'm doing is accelerating this process."

"It's simple to do: just bring the two auras close together and control the simulated vortex to accelerate its rotation."

"As for the white aura at the center, it is a natural force derived from the principle of mutual generation between the two polarities of ice and fire. Natural force also has a very strong dissipative effect. Of course, more important is its strength and buffering power. You have been to the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, so you must be very familiar with the aura in the confluence area. The natural force generated by the fusion of the two can be described as inexhaustible and endless."

"Furthermore, it's far more complex than simply one plus one equals two; it generates a natural force many times over. And the quality and intensity of this energy are extremely high, otherwise it wouldn't be possible for plants to grow at a speed hundreds or thousands of times faster."

At this point, Zhu Wu inexplicably thought of nuclear fission.

Of course, the power of nature is certainly not as terrifying as a nuclear power. Otherwise, the Water and Fire Dragon Kings would have blown up the realm of gods back then.

"It is precisely because of this ever-renewing and continuous characteristic, coupled with this strength, that I am able to neutralize and resist attacks that far exceed the strength of my physical body, just like the waves on the sea, one wave higher and stronger than the next," Zhu Wu continued.

"After that, I will take advantage of the explosiveness of the fire attribute soul power to instantly generate a thrust, and burst out the mixed energy that has been absorbed and mixed with the power of nature, along with the cold yin energy in my body, to achieve double the return of attack damage."

"Of course, if one's physical body is strong enough to absorb enough energy, and if the thrust generated by one's outburst is high enough, the rebound damage will definitely be even greater. What I can do now is double, and that's thanks to the derived natural power, which helps me withstand even stronger impacts."

"If it's just relying on one's own soul power, it's really hard to say."

"Besides, I don't have the attribute of absorption. Otherwise, I could try to incorporate the absorbed energy into my body and use it for other purposes. You could try that, Zi Ji. Your attribute also has the ability to absorb, so the effect shouldn't be bad."

"Hmm, how about we call yours 'Boundless Vast Ocean - Reversal of Heaven and Earth'?" It would make a perfect pair.

"." Zi Ji was speechless; the little bit of admiration she had just built up instantly collapsed.

This skill is somewhat similar to my Heavenly Demon Domain and Heavenly Demon Reversal, he thought to himself.

He looked up at Zhu Wu.

"I have two unique skills that are quite similar to what you've come up with, and perhaps they can give you some further insights."

"It was originally based on your Heavenly Demon Field and Heavenly Demon Reversal techniques," Zhu Wu thought to himself, but said aloud, "Oh?"

"Then I would be grateful for your guidance." After saying that, he stood still and waited.

Zi Ji nodded slightly. "Go ahead and attack."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Wu immediately raised his hand and released a fireball. He had already learned this basic skill from the Crimson King.

The next second, Zi Ji raised her right hand slightly, and purple light emanated from her body. A powerful suction force burst forth from her, as if she had transformed into a vortex.

The fireball entered the three-meter zone, instantly twisted, and was pulled apart into a curved line of fire before disappearing.

At this moment, Zi Ji clapped her hands lightly, and a mirror surface immediately appeared in front of her, from which an identical fireball burst forth.

"I can only say, a decent control skill." The returned fireball wasn't very powerful, and Zhu Wu easily shattered it with a wave of his hand. "If I'm not mistaken, the first stage should have a mirroring effect, not only mirroring the opponent's abilities but also affecting their vision, creating dizzying or dark scenes. And this second stage returns the opponent's attack in full."

"That's right," Zi Ji readily admitted.

"Ziji, you should understand that if you encounter an ability that counters your own attributes, or if the attack frequency is too high, exceeding the mirror image range or your tolerance limit, this move could very well hurt you. After all, the casting distance is too close," Zhu Wu said.

Besides, your move even has special effects, isn't that a bit too obvious?

"Therefore, my suggestion is to incorporate more of the properties of water to increase variability and concealment. For example, use the resistance of water to simulate continuous waves, increase the frequency and intensity of buffering, and create a superposition effect. Even if it is just a thin layer of paper, as long as there are enough layers, it will be difficult for a sharp blade to penetrate. And if you add gaps in the middle, you will also encounter the resistance from the air."

"Perhaps you could think about it more in this direction."

After listening, Murasaki fell into thought, then nodded, "I will."

"If you encounter any problems, feel free to come and discuss them with me anytime," Zhu Wu smiled. "I'll probably be staying here for the next while. There are some things I still need to ask you about the knowledge imparted by the Water and Fire Dragon Kings, and I'll also need your assistance with the spiritual cultivation methods."

Zi Ji's expression froze instantly. "You want to do it again?"

"That's enough for today. I need to digest what I just learned." Zhu Wu said, turning around and walking towards his little nest. He quickly leaped onto the cypress tree branch.

Zi Ji's face flushed slightly. She clenched her fists, then silently turned and walked towards the tree hole.

PS: Time will jump soon, it'll be quick.
