Armor: I started with Watt at my peak

"It's starting to slow down, even though the energy in this world is more active. But there's no rush, let's consolidate it for a while." Li Chen was sitting cross-legged in the system training space practicing.

He clearly felt that his cultivation speed had slowed down. Even though the energy in this world was more concentrated, his cultivation progress had also slowed down.

But this is actually normal. Li Chen is now at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and the next step is the seventh level of Qi Refining. The gap from the middle stage to the late stage will naturally be bigger.

Of course, Li Chen was not in a hurry. On the contrary, his previous breakthrough was a bit too fast. Even if the time of cultivation in the system space was included, he had only been practicing for a few months. This speed was already very fast.

It's just the right time to accumulate foundation and consolidate your cultivation realm. Once the foundation is laid, future breakthroughs will naturally be unimpeded.

"Come to think of it, I haven't used the three skill upgrade cards that the system gave me last time. Let me give it a try." Li Chen thought about it, and then used the system's reward.

Skill Upgrade Cards, as the name implies, can upgrade any skill, except armor skills. The three cards Li Chen obtained are all primary cards, which can upgrade one level.

"System, use the skill upgrade card to upgrade the skills: Resistance Ring, Demon Slaying Technique and Five Elements Bagua Palm." Li Chen ordered.

"Ding! The skill upgrade card has been used successfully." The system's voice sounded in the training space, followed by skill and spell information flooding into Li Chen's mind.

hum...

In an instant, the deeper information about the Demon-Slaying Technique, Resistance Ring and Five Elements Bagua Palm were all integrated into his mind, as if they were broken open and crushed. Li Chen's mastery of these skills and spells immediately elevated to a higher level.

"System, open the attribute panel and skill bar." Li Chen said again. Then, the system panel appeared in front of Li Chen.

Strength: kg

Speed: 119 meters/second

Gongfa: "Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing", "Xingchen Yunhun Jue", "Huangting Jing"

Realm: Peak of the middle level of the general level, sixth level of Qi refining

Skills/Spells: Lingyan Sword Skill (Great Mastery), Resistance Ring (Level 2), Demon Slaying Technique (Level 3), Five Elements Bagua Palm (Level 3), Phantom Spirit·Thousand Wind (Level 1)

Seeing this, Li Chen was quite satisfied. Although his cultivation level had not broken through, his skills and spells had become stronger, so his strength would also be improved.

"Let's try out the effect after the upgrade." Li Chen waved his hand, and the Qinggang sword appeared in his hand. He pinched the seal and performed the demon-slaying technique.

All of a sudden, golden light shone brightly, the sharp aura brought by the Demon-Slaying Technique overflowed, and an indescribable pressure filled the air.

Compared to before, the golden light emitted after the Demon-Slaying Technique was performed was much more dazzling, and the armor-piercing sharpness it brought was also much stronger, as if there was more "righteousness" in it.

However, Li Chen did not think much about it. He put down the Qinggang sword and began to make the seals of the Five Elements Bagua Palm with his hands.

After the hand gestures were completed, two streams of black and white light emerged when his hands were waved. For a moment, the energy in the system space was activated again, and finally condensed into a Yin-Yang fish shield in front of Li Chen.

The Five Elements Bagua Palm, as the name suggests, utilizes the power of the five elements of yin and yang, and combines attack and defense, and hardness and flexibility.

Like the Demon-Slaying Technique, these two Maoshan spells have a total of six levels. Now they have reached the third level and seem to be different from before.

In the Yin-Yang fish shield condensed by Li Chen this time, the power of the Five Elements is no longer the main component, but the power of Yin and Yang is dominant, with the power of the Five Elements accounting for only 30%.

The third level of the Demon-Slaying Technique adds "positive energy", while the Five Elements Bagua Palm crosses over from the Five Elements to Yin and Yang. The change is not just in power. Li Chen clearly felt the change in energy fluctuations after the spell was cast.

Yes, the energy in the system training space was mobilized a lot after Li Chen cast spells twice, which was beyond the scope of ordinary Qi refining.

"If what I think is right..." Li Chen's mind moved, and he left the training space and returned to reality.

Then, without saying a word, he cast the spell again, and the Yin-Yang fish shield took shape instantly. In the blink of an eye, the power of heaven and earth was drawn by him and gathered here, and the power of the Five Elements Bagua Palm was enhanced.

hum!

Li Chen's soul power was exerted at this time, and his magic power became more surging, intensifying the operation of the Five Elements Bagua Palm, and the speed of gathering the power of heaven and earth became faster.

"If this is true, then there will be a new direction for my future practice." Li Chen now understood everything.

It turns out that the six levels of the Five Elements Bagua Palm and the Demon Slaying Technique involve the power of heaven and earth starting from the third level, which is the level of the foundation-building commander.

However, Li Chen was breathing slightly at this moment. The mana consumed in his body was indeed a bit high, even more than Ling Yan's swordsmanship.

After all, the latter is just a basic swordsmanship. Even if it is of a high level, it does not involve the power of heaven and earth, so the consumption is certainly not great.

Li Chen realized that since magic had reached the level of mobilizing the power of heaven and earth, he could use magic to feel the power of heaven and earth.

Once his understanding of the power of heaven and earth is sufficient, then whether he uses the power of heaven and earth to increase his strength or to restore energy and mana, his combat power will be improved by more than a little bit.

However... it is not easy. To comprehend and mobilize the power of heaven and earth usually begins at the foundation-building stage.

Because only when one reaches the foundation building level, the soul is sublimated to the level of Yin God, the magic power is condensed into liquid and the sea of ​​​​qi is opened up, will there be enough power to control the power of heaven and earth to enhance oneself. If the realm is not high enough to forcefully mobilize, the price to pay will be very high.

The consumption of mana and soul will increase exponentially, and may even shake the foundation.

Of course, Li Chen still had this confidence. How long had he been practicing so far? At this speed of practice, he felt that his talent was enough to comprehend the power of heaven and earth while refining Qi.

"Then in future cultivation, there will be one more way to comprehend the power of heaven and earth. Hmm... what's going on?" Li Chen suddenly sensed a wave of energy collision.

hum...

When Li Chen started to detect spiritual awareness, he detected energy reactions emanating from the southeast of his house a thousand meters away, indicating that someone was fighting.

However, the training grounds for the psychics in the four major citadels and the main city are made of special materials that can isolate energy fluctuations and prevent excessive destructive power, so they should not be training grounds.

"Let's go and take a look." Li Chen walked out of the door of the house, and with the Seven Star Tiangang Steps activated, he flashed forward. In a few seconds, he arrived at the place he had just detected.

Just as he stopped, a piece of building debris with a diameter of three or four meters flew towards Li Chen.

boom!

He could easily dodge at this speed, but he happened to be trying out the practical effect of the Five Elements Bagua Palm breakthrough, so he did not dodge.

The Yin-Yang fish shield condensed into a shape with a diameter of less than half a meter, but it prevented building debris of three or four meters in length and width from entering, and its defensive power was quite good.

"Break." Li Chen said calmly, and then the shield condensed by the power of yin and yang merged into his right hand. He slapped it out with one palm, and the building debris was completely shattered, with only some debris scattered on the ground.

Then, two figures flew backwards from the damaged building in front of them for dozens of meters before stopping.

The auras of these two men are both around the seventh level (initial general level). They are not strong, but they are not weak either. However, since they could be beaten so badly, their opponents must be at least at the ninth level (advanced general level).

"Wait there, don't let them run away!" As the stern shout came, three soldiers dressed in silver-white armor with blue patterns rushed out.

These are the elite troops defending the Suzaku City, otherwise they would not be equipped with energy armor.

"Damn, this energy armor is too strong, we are no match for it." The two men who flew out said angrily as they lay on the ground.

They were then captured by three soldiers in energy armor and put in handcuffs specifically designed to suppress their super powers.

"Lord Li Chen!" At this time, they saw Li Chen standing not far away and watching, and immediately saluted and reported to him.

"Well...what's going on?" Li Chen took the opportunity to ask the reason of the incident.

"That's right, sir. These two guys are..." One of the soldiers spoke and told Li Chen the whole story.

After listening to this, Li Chen understood. It turned out that treason could be exposed due to insufficient intelligence and lead to arrest. Then what was the point of your treason? The other side doesn't want you with this ability.

Fortunately, these two guys didn't have time to gather their accomplices to launch a large-scale civil unrest, which would have been difficult to deal with.

"Be careful." Just as the armored soldier was telling Li Chen what happened, the two people who were handcuffed broke free and rushed towards them.

The three soldiers didn't expect that they could break free from their restraints and launch attacks even though their superpowers were restricted, and they were unable to react for a moment.

"This breath is from zombies...but they are obviously human beings. Forget it, let's capture them first." Li Chen said, and black and white light flowed out from his hands.

The Five Elements Bagua Palm was activated. Because of the combination of attack and defense, the shield formed by the power of Yin and Yang was extremely hard. Li Chen then performed it in reverse, covering the two of them with the Yin and Yang fish shield, trapping them inside.

"Let's rush out, demonic flame!" The dark red flame with a violent and bloodthirsty aura slammed fiercely into the Yin-Yang fish shield, intending to break the shield and break out of the predicament.

However, how could the Yin-Yang fish shield formed by the Five Elements Bagua Palm be so easy to break? This hard and soft shield could withstand not only two beginners of the general level, but also a high-level general level.

Besides, this is just Li Chen's incompatible armor, and his own cultivation is limited, so he can only exert the power of the Five Elements Bagua Palm to the mid-level commander level.

If Li Chen summons armor, then the effect of using the armor energy to cast spells will at least be multiplied several times.

"Little guy, do you think this will work?" Looking at the two traitors who were trying to break the Yin-Yang fish shield, Li Chen shook his head, then used his fingers as a sword and performed the demon-slaying technique.

Although not using the sword will weaken some of its power, but even if the sword energy of the Demon Slaying Technique is only at the initial stage of the general level, it is enough, and the armor-piercing effect is still so useful.

Puff…Puff!

Li Chen slashed out two sword energies, breaking the left and right legs of the two men respectively. Now it was useless for them to run. The armored soldiers quickly handcuffed them again and then took them to the command center tower.
