Zongman: Under One Person, join the chat group

"Remember, the great path is built step by step; don't always think about taking shortcuts."

After Qin Qi finished speaking, he disappeared in an instant. At this moment, his Great Five Elements Technique included the Five Elements Escape Technique.

Compared to the Fire Escape Technique, which requires leaving a spark beforehand, the Five Elements Escape Technique is more convenient and faster. As long as there are relevant elements within the area, one can escape at any time.

"What a... strange guy."

Little Vulcan watched Qin Qi walk away, feeling that the other party was very strange, and that what he said was completely different from what he usually learned.

But he also felt that everything the other person said was right! Was he wrong, or was the other person wrong?

Who is really behind this crooked path?

..............................................................................

"Phew! Although my previous spells were incredibly powerful, each of them had its own problems. Now that they have been integrated into the Great Five Elements Technique, those problems have been solved."

"Moreover, due to the mutual generation of the five elements, the amount of Qi consumed each time it is used is reduced by 50%!"

"Furthermore, after mastering the Great Five Elements Technique, my perception of heaven and earth has become even more accurate. Hmm, what would happen if I incorporated breathing techniques into it?"

Suddenly, another idea popped into Qin Qi's mind: what would happen if he used the principles of the Five Elements Technique to breathe?

Is it possible to directly extract energy from the five elements? If so, wouldn't I become a perpetual motion machine?

After thinking about it, Qin Qi started to do it. At the beginning, he used the Great Five Elements Technique to directly draw the power of the five elements between heaven and earth.

However, this process is very slow, and it is also very troublesome for the body to absorb this energy after it is extracted.

The sharp metal energy is too razor-sharp, and the fiery energy is too intense; they must be processed first before absorbing them.

However, a lot of energy is lost during the processing, and a lot of time is also consumed.

"By absorbing the five elements of energy from the outside world through the mouth and nose, the five internal organs transform into a five-element cyclical array, thereby converting external energy."

Qin Qi abandoned the previous method of transformation. He still chose to follow the five elements, not to absorb them, but to turn them into fuel.

The water energy from the outside world nourishes the liver (wood element) and transforms into the wood energy within the body. The wood energy from the outside world then merges into the heart and transforms into the fire energy within the body.

"Phew! With each breath, I can absorb about one-tenth of my own energy, and after conversion, it becomes about one-fifteenth."

Qin Qi was extremely excited. He was no longer afraid of any war of attrition, as he could replenish his energy at any time with the Great Five Elements Breathing Technique.

As long as the five elements exist in the world, their energy can be continuously replenished!

Qin Qi had already returned to the competition venue. He randomly found a spot on the spectator stand and sat down, ready to watch a few more matches.

After this competition, out of the original thirty-two players, only sixteen remained.

"Hey, a bunch of noobs fighting each other, nothing to watch. Hey, isn't that my stupid nephew and his gang?"

"Who is this opponent?"

While Qin Qi was wandering around the spectator area, he suddenly saw Huang Ming and Xiao Xiao fighting. One was using Quanzhen Neidan Gong, and the other was using the "exhaling qi" technique.

Qin Qi used the Five Elements Escape Technique and appeared in the spectator area of ​​the arena where the two were located in the next second.

Looking at the scene, the two are currently locked in a stalemate, with Xiao Xiao's attempts to expel Huang Ming's spirit failing to break through.

Huang Ming's martial arts skills were no match for Xiao Xiao's, and the two were locked in a stalemate, with whoever made the first mistake losing.

"What's that silly kid doing standing there? Is he trying to get distracted and deal with the other guy?"

Qin Qi looked at Huang Ming, who was standing motionless in place, and the next second Huang Ming's soul left his body.

"I went too easy on this kid back then."

Qin Qi decided to give him another beating after the match; this kid wouldn't learn his lesson unless he hit him hard!

Chapter Thirty-Seven: This slap will teach you to be humble and modest!

After Huang Ming's soul left his body, it moved extremely fast because it was no longer bound by its physical form.

This gave him a slight advantage for a moment, but Xiao Xiao's feint caused him to make a mistake in his positioning.

Then, a breath attack specifically targeting the soul is about to be delivered to Huang Ming, who is in a pure soul state.

"Sigh, this kid has no memory at all. His martial uncle told him before that being lost in thought is like throwing his body into someone's knife."

"If this hits hard, their souls will probably be scattered, and it will take at least seven days to regenerate."

Seeing this, Liu Xingyang shook his head, pushed up his sunglasses, and then thought of leaving his body to help Huang Ming block the attack.

But just as he was about to leave his body, Qin Qi pressed down on his shoulder, and at the same time, his soul, which was about to leave his body, was directly pushed back in.

"Um, what are you going to do, Uncle-Master?"

Liu Xingyang turned his head and found that Qin Qi had come to his side at some point. He looked at Huang Ming in the arena and saw him trying to leave his body again.

However, Qin Qi pressed him back down again. In front of Qin Qi, his trance technique had absolutely no effect.

"Don't worry, this kid won't learn his lesson unless he gets a good beating. Let's teach him a lesson now."

"Let's see if he dares to do it again next time."

Qin Qi watched as Huang Ming's soul was scattered by Xiao Xiao's exhalation.

"Uncle-Master, I know this kid is wrong, but you've gone a bit too far this time. He probably won't be able to recover for at least seven days."

Liu Xingyang looked at Huang Ming, whose soul had been scattered, and shook his head. He knew what Qin Qi meant, but he still felt that it had gone a bit too far.

"I'll gather his soul back in less than seven days. I'll ask this kid if he's learned his lesson."

Qin Qi stepped down from the viewing platform, reached out, and an invisible force instantly enveloped the entire arena. He clenched his fist tightly.

The next second, Huang Ming's soul fragments from all directions instantly coalesced, but Huang Ming still had doubts after the soul fragments coalesced.

"Eh? What are you doing here, Uncle-Master?"

"Snapped."

Qin Qi stepped forward and smacked Huang Ming on the head: "Give me back how I am here. If I weren't here, you'd still be a ghost."

"How many times have I told you? It's one thing for your fellow disciples to play around with the skill of 'absorption', but you actually used it against an enemy. Now look what happened, you got beaten to a pulp."

"Uncle-Master, I remember your previous teachings, but this time I really have no other choice. Without using my Yang Spirit, I really have no way to fight against the opponent."

Huang Ming touched his head, feeling somewhat puzzled. He was in a soul state, so why could his martial uncle still hit him with his hand, and why did it hurt so much?

"You still dare to talk back? Slap slap slap."

Qin Qi slapped Huang Ming several more times in quick succession. After finishing, he said seriously, "Nephew, remember this lesson well this time."

“I would rather watch you get beaten up and run away with your tail between your legs than hold the head of the person who killed you as a sacrifice at your grave.”

"Yes, I know, Uncle-Master."

Seeing Qin Qi's serious expression, Huang Ming instantly tensed up and immediately answered loudly.

"Alright, that's enough. Remember this lesson."

Qin Qi turned to leave, but before leaving, he slapped Huang Ming again: "No, I still get annoyed looking at you, kid."

After beating Huang Ming, Qin Qi turned and left.

Only a group of shocked, speechless people remained on the stage.

"Just how powerful is my martial uncle's cultivation?!"

"His scattered soul was reassembled in the time it takes to shake hands! And the way he just forced my soul back in!"

Liu Xingyang felt himself sweating profusely. He reached up and wiped the sweat from his forehead, muttering a few words of blessing from the ancestors.

Huang Ming's soul returned to his body.

"Master Huang Ming, I am truly sorry, but your life cultivation is so strong that I really have no way to hold back."

Xiao Xiao said apologetically, "Huang Ming's life cultivation is simply too strong and too refined."

An ordinary person would have their soul leave their body instantly if hit by his breath, but Huang Ming's internal alchemy skills were so good that he withstood several blows without his soul leaving his body.

"It's alright, it's alright. I was just overestimating myself. I knew that Brother Xiao had special methods for targeting the soul, yet I still used my Yang Spirit."

"I was too arrogant. My uncle is right. I have to remember this lesson, or I might die at the foot of the mountain one day."

This trip to Longhu Mountain made Huang Ming realize one thing: inside the mountain, his martial uncle was number one, and outside the mountain, his martial uncle was also number one!

Secondly, it's hard to say whether Qin Qi will be able to stay humble and avoid arrogance during this trip to Longhu Mountain, but Huang Ming certainly did.

Having been beaten up by Qin Qi and Xiao Xiao in succession, he is now truly humbled and prepared to cultivate his life force properly when he gets back.

Practice your martial arts properly. As for things like "exiting the Yang Spirit," it's fine for you and your fellow disciples to play around with. When facing an enemy, you still need to rely on hard skills!

"Um, Master Huang Ming, may I ask, what is your relationship with that Taoist priest from earlier? I've never heard of him in the circle before."

Xiao Xiao asked. Qin Qi's move just now was truly impressive; the scattered souls instantly coalesced.

"That's my martial uncle. He usually stays in the mountains in seclusion. It's normal that you haven't heard of him, Brother Xiao."

"Although my martial uncle isn't very famous, he's very powerful. Brother Xiao, you'd better be careful if you encounter him in the future."

Huang Ming smiled, then politely bowed before turning and leaving, waiting to reunite with Liu Xingyang.

"Senior brother..."

"You still know I'm your senior brother? If it weren't for your uncle, your scattered soul wouldn't have returned for seven days."

"No way, the more I look at you, the angrier I get. Come here and let me beat you up!"

"No, senior brother! I know I was wrong. When I return to the mountain, I will definitely work hard to hone my skills and never try to develop a Yang Spirit again!"

Huang Ming was beaten up again by Liu Xingyang, and it wasn't just a slap; he was pinned down and beaten hard.

Even though Huang Ming tried his best to escape, Liu Xingyang chased after him and beat him up at the same time.

Just as Qin Qi said, they would rather watch their fellow disciples be beaten and run away in fear than take the head of their enemy to their grave as a sacrifice.

Once someone is dead, they are dead. Revenge is just something for the living to see. The dead are still dead, and whether or not revenge is taken, it doesn't change anything.

Time flew by and it was evening. The night was quite noisy, but that had nothing to do with Qin Qi. He lay in bed and slept soundly.

The round of 16 matches were about to begin the next morning.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Lu Linglong Becomes a Mummy!

Qin Qi's opponent in the round of 16 was insignificant. He stepped onto the stage, slapped the ground, and the referee declared him the winner.

The competition to advance from sixteen to eight quickly came to an end, and the remaining participants were Qin Qi, Zhang Chulan, Zhang Lingyu, Wang Ye, Zhuge Qing, Feng Baobao, Feng Shayan, and Lu Linglong.

The matchups are Zhang Lingyu vs. Lu Linglong, Wang Ye vs. Zhuge Qing, Zhang Chulan vs. Feng Baobao, and Qin Qi vs. Feng Shayan.

Qin Qi's battle was as uneventful as ever; he went into the arena and waited for the referee to call "start."

"I know you're very capable, but there are always people more skilled than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. You'll suffer a great loss if you underestimate me like this."

Feng Shayan was furious when she saw Qin Qi looking like he was about to doze off. She felt that he didn't take her seriously at all.

Qin Qi ignored Feng Shayan's taunts, glanced at the referee, and watched as the other side raised their hand and called for the start of the match.

He used the Five Elements Escape Technique to silently appear behind Feng Shayan and slapped her to the ground.

"Hmm, I forgot your name, but I remember your ability is to travel through space, which is a very good ability."

"But your own life force is not strong enough. When I make my move, you won't even have time to react. No matter how strong your abilities are, it's useless."

Qin Qi didn't use any special techniques this time; he simply relied on his speed, strength, and the Five Elements Escape Technique.

This is equivalent to Darius using Bloodrage, then flashing forward and instantly killing you with a Noxian Guillotine without even needing Merciless Hand.

No operation required, just pure numbers! That's the charm of the number monster!

"The battle is over! Qin Qi has won!"

The referee stared at the fallen sand swallow for a moment before realizing that the match was over. He quickly raised his hand to announce the end.

"Sigh, I acted too quickly just now. I should have checked her spatial abilities before I attacked."

"Forget it, anyway, his superpower is not as powerful as the Shrinking Earth to an Inch method that I developed back then."

Qin Qi felt a little regretful, but upon reflection, there was nothing to regret. The other party's spatial ability seemed impressive, but in reality, it wasn't that bad.

First, there is a limited area; second, it can only be traversed within a visible range, otherwise the danger is extremely high.

In this respect, it cannot compare to the Five Elements Escape Technique developed by Qin Qi. As long as the Five Elements exist, he can go there at any time without worrying about getting stuck in a wall.
